Last week I wrote about my struggle with finding balance as a parent of two young kids. What I wanted? Time to work out. I want to get back in shape!
I know a lot of you out there like to do the same – Work out to relieve stress, get time away, train for events or just make those summer clothes fit a little better.
Join in and link up. Let's make this a conversation.
Whether you're training for an Ironman or just trying to get to the gym three times per week, a lot of it comes back to the same thing: motivation.
Each Monday, come on by to link up. Whatever your workout or fitness goal of choice, tell us about it.
I'll post about how my training is going, obstacles, achievements and any tips for finding time or shortcuts I find along the way. I encourage you to do the same. Post in the comments, link up your blog posts about your training – Whatever works for you.
Here's the scoop on me:
Complete the 2011 Chicago Marathon in October as an American Cancer Society DetermiNation Athlete.
Obstacles (with a side of excuses)
(1) Time is my biggest struggle – and more precisely, time without the kids. My husband is gone most of the time during the week between travel and long hours.
It's difficult to find the right time when the kids are awake to be thrown in the double jogger without eating up the "good windows" I have to actually do things with them. Also, as training distances get longer, I tap out on how far I can actually go with the stroller.
(2) Childcare: We don't have family readily available to take care of the kids, and sitters are both difficult to find and expensive.
(1) I need it for myself. I am home with my kids all day. This is how I burn off stress, get some time for myself and try to be healthy.
(2) It makes me a better parent. Time for myself means that I'm a happier soul when I am with my kids. I know guilt about time away can be a big hurdle to committing to training for an event, but if the up-side is a more present and energetic parent, I consider that to be a win-win.
(3) It's the example I want to set for my kids. I want my kids to learn from an early age what a healthy lifestyle looks like. I know what it's like to try to undo years of stagnant and unhealthy living, and I don't want that for them. I also want them to understand that charity and civic responsibility are the responsibility of each of us.
(4) A good cause. Running for the American Cancer Society is central to running for me. It's a cause close to my heart, having lost a number of family members and friends to this disease. There is nothing more inspiring to me out on the race course than seeing people's ribbons, shirts and pictures telling the stories of why they're running. Seeing DetermiNation athletes along the way give me the added push I need.
I hope you'll join in each Monday. What is your goal? Next week, come on by to link up!

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer delivered his 2013 State of Downtown Address on Thursday at the Amway Center.
Before a packed house of mostly friendly supporters, Dyer harped on successes of the past and his administration's many accomplishments since he first took office in 2003.
"We believed then, and still believe today, that more than any single amenity, superior quality of life is what draws employers, workers, residents, and visitors to downtown," Dyer told attendees.
The annual event held by the Downtown Orlando Partnership (DOP) provides a forum for Mayor Dyer to share the city's progress on the revitalization of Downtown Orlando with residents, business owners and downtown workers. The event also serves as an annual fundraiser for the DOP.
"Next year, this event
will be held inside our new Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts," he said.
The biggest change moving forward for the city, he said, will be relocating the Orlando Police Department's headquarters from its current site next to the Amway Center to a new one. The move would make way for a proposed a sports and entertainment complex that would be built by the Orlando Magic and also house the team's headquarters.
"With an urban convention center, retail space, and the team's headquarters, we will be able to transform an entire block into a place that attracts more visitors to downtown and allows us to host downtown-wide conventions for the first time in decades."

text: The NBA camp was this week in VA. Just to give everyone an Idea of about talent level. I cannot remember the last time the terps never had one senior invited to this thing. Even those bad teams in the middle of the decade had players attend. It just really is telling about talent level and is directly related to performance. That is why a player like Guest is necessary, because even if he does not have a position. he just adds more talent to this team. which is what they need. we should take him and hubert if possible.

Now you'll get to meet the man behind it.
By Wilton Johnson
A Gilmer man says he was beaten by two men who also threatened his life because he is a Muslim. He calls it a hate crime.
This is the first time since Saturday that James Berry has been at home. Friday night he says two drunk former co-workers beat him just inside his front door.
"When I turned this way the other one grabbed me by the neck and took me to the ground," Berry recounted Thursday.
Berry says that's when he felt a gun put to his head.
"I said the words (HIM-DAH-LAH), which means praise God, praise be to Allah, because I thought I was going. The one with the gun said,'Yeah you pray to Allah you Muslim <expletive>, you Muslim piece of <expletive>. Pray to Allah," Berry said.
The Upshur County Sheriff's Department couldn't comment on the ongoing investigation, but Chief Deputy Bobby Sanders did say it was being handled as an assault case. The Council on American Islamic Relations says this is a hate crime.
"This isn't just a simple assault case. This is a case where religious slurs and a bias nature were evident during the assault," said Council Spokesman Ibrahim Hooper from Washington, D.C.
Berry says he doesn't believe Upshur County is taking this seriously so he contacted the FBI, who in turn, have opened their own investigation into the matter. Hopper hopes federal involvement will show the real injustice.
"Once it's investigated as a possible hate crime, we'll see what potential charges could be brought above and beyond the normal charges brought in any assault case and if there's a civil rights violation here that could lead to federal charges," said Hooper.
As Berry patiently awaits word from either authority whether any arrest will be made, he can't help but wonder if the process would've been faster if two Muslims attacked a Christian.
"Muslims would've been paraded in front of the media and thrown under the jail," said Berry.

Moultrie- The crowd listens in silence as organizers read the names of troops from Colquitt County who are away at war. Names of sons, daughters, family members and friends.
Helen Farrell has two sons and a daughter in military and says the support of friends and community members keeps her going.
"It makes me feel good to know that I have so much support because I'm a single parent, and i only have four children and three of them are in the military," says Farrell.
While they may not officially be in the military yet, ROTC cadets also realize the importance of community support.
"It really feels good to know that if I do get sent over there when the war is going on that there will be this over here for me," adds Amy Mckaughan.
Until the war has ended these South Georgians will rely on the power of prayer to bring their loved ones home.
Most of the members of the Moultrie Federated Guild either have a family member away at war or know someone who has been deployed.

A study looking at consumer shopping behavior found that nine out of ten shoppers purchase something not on their intended list, according to The Integer Group and M/A/R/C Research.
Among shoppers who purchase off-list items, 66% say the reason was a sale or promotion, 30% say they found a coupon, and 23% say they simply wanted to pamper themselves, The Checkout study found.
Nearly seven out of 10 home improvement shoppers say they are not brand loyal when it comes to buying big-ticket items, according to a study conducted by The Integer Group, along with research partner Decision Analyst.

Nicole Kidman was shocked when she learned that her boldly brazen performance in Lee Daniels' outrageous southern gothic "The Paperboy" had earned both SAG and Golden Globe supporting actress nominations. While the indie film debuted in Cannes to mixed reaction and hardly set critics or audiences on fire, Kidman earned rave reviews. It's just possible that Academy actors will overlook the movie's trashy excesses to recognize Kidman's achievement. And so Kidman got on Skype, after a long shooting day playing Princess Grace in "Grace of Monaco" in Belgium, to talk about why she was willing to go almost all the way to play southern bombshell Charlotte Bless.
The 45-year-old actress explains why she wants to take chances at this stage of her life. (She always has: see her Oscar-winning "The Hours" and Oscar-nominated "Rabbit Hole" and "Moulin Rouge," not to mention "Nine," "To Die For," "Birth," "Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus," "The Others," and "Margot at the Wedding," among her riskiest roles.) Did she really pee on Zac Efron in one scene? Kidman refuses to say. But she does explain how she created Charlotte's look herself, how Daniels pushed her off the cliff on the first day, why she stayed in character on set the entire shoot, and how she and John Cusack pushed their sexual attraction further than anyone had planned. And she also stands by her reasons for refusing Daniels' demand that she say the n-word.
Still to come are Park Chan-wook's "Stoker" opposite fellow Aussie Mia Wasikowska and World War II drama "The Railway Man," opposite Colin Firth.

Very telling, 2 kids, and no thought for the older children, 10 yrs. married to Tom, and they probably only dated and no stability with all their comming and going mad for $$$$ ; mad for movies.
John | December 26, 2012 1:01 AM
I'm always disappointed when Dogville isn't included among her achievements. I think her collaboration with LvT is incredibly interesting and among her finest work.

great stuff
Lily | December 20, 2012 12:02 PM
Amazing actress and classy lady.
Joy_67 | December 20, 2012 12:52 AM
Nicole is an amazing actor who's taken risks and chances with her film roles all of her life, as the author points out beautifully. Very nice, respectful interview. Nic's incredibly beautifully, even without her makeup on, and yes, her face shows tons of 'expression' and naturalness. Too bad there are so many vicious, evil, toxic, and jealous people who scour the Internet to find places to denigrate those who have such beauty and talent. And yes, she has TWO children whom she's "raising," as the older two live on their own, having been raised by the Scientology 'cult'!

Nicole is the best actress ever!
Nubia | December 19, 2012 7:38 PM
Great interview. I love Nicole and more power to her. She is a wonderful actress and seems to be a sensitive human being. Can't wait to watch the movie.
Atooo | December 19, 2012 7:29 PM
Wait! Did she say she has TWO kids?! (first video at 1.30secs) She has FOUR! Is she discounting the two with Tom Cruise?!
Talie | December 19, 2012 7:01 PM
To be honest, I would give it to her over Anne Hathaway...she just dares. I'm so glad her fellow actors recognized that and boosted her. No one takes risks like she does in Hollywood, you could only compare her to European actresses.
asiandude | December 19, 2012 6:40 PM
Nicole's career is back on track after that mess with Nic Cage, that's great. "Grace of Monaco" will be the real deal, not this "Paperboy". And thank God, the quality of the video is Skype, so her forehead is not that scary anymore :-)
sakul | December 19, 2012 6:14 PM
Boy, she is campaigning like crazy.
David | December 19, 2012 4:27 PM
Love her and great interview. She's someone that I've always had an enormous respect for, from how she handles her celebrity to the amount of risks that she takes in her film career, whether they work or not. Not many others of her stature can say that.
little my | December 19, 2012 4:24 PM
lovely interview Anne. I wish there was enough time for questions on a career retrospective, but maybe next time. She did seem quite nervous though.

The other camp was only for 3 days. It was a rough-out camp, though I use the term rough-out loosely because we had brought the kitchen sink. It was just with my ward Young Women and I liked that. We were in tents. On the first night we all ended up in big pile in the corner of the tent. We went hiking, canoeing, did archery, and shot rifles! It was so much fun and I cannot wait for next year.

Girls Camp by Serenity
I got to go to two different girls camps this summer.They were both really fun. The first camp was Beehive camp for 12 and 13 year olds from a few stakes. It was 5 days long. We went hiking and zip-lining. That camp had cabins and bunks so it was more comfy.

A family will live off just £3 a day for a week in a challenge designed to raise awareness for world hunger.
It is the second year Becky Dyball, 32, her husband Alex, 35 and their young son Noah have done Live Below the Line spending just £1 each per day.
But as well as raising awareness she hopes it will teach three-year-old Noah something.
That's why she has decided to involve him in the challenge again despite getting a "hammering" from other parents last year.
She said: "We had a lot of people being quite outspoken saying, 'why do this to Noah? Surely he's going to be hungry?'
"But what happened was we made sure he had plenty even if it meant we didn't have as much...I think that's just natural. At no point did Noah go hungry.
"As a mother it was really difficult [last time]. Noah was only 2. I remember he said 'can I have an apple mummy', and it was heart breaking because I had to say we don't have an apple.
"That was so hard. If you had a child who every day wanted something essential and you couldn't give it to them...
"For us it was OK because I'd say, 'well you can have that on Saturday'. It was only five days and that's nothing really."
But that doesn't mean the experience will have no value.
Becky said: "I want Noah to be a responsible individual as he grows up and I want him to be aware of others and I think this is an amazing way to show him that not everyone has what we have."
When people read about the family's efforts in the News last year they got in touch with Becky to share their experiences.
Becky said: "It really made me realise that this is a problem in the UK as well as the rest of the world. It opened my eyes.
"This older lady was telling me that she lives on £10 per week, and I just thought gosh that's really hard."
On the menu this week in the Dyball's Papworth Everard home will be plenty of flatbread, rice and pasta with kidney beans, and tinned potatoes topped off with a bit of chili powder or salt for a bit of added flavour.
The Dyballs are doing Live Below the Line for Tearfund, the charity Becky works for.
Last year the charity raised £40,000 from the campaign and they hope to match that this year.

Frequently Asked Questions:
For answers to your questions watch the video and read the section below.
QUESTION: Is Father's Heart Ministry a church?
ANSWER: UPDATED: We are both a church and an outreach ministry. We both travel internationally and maintain local ministry meetings in Branson, Missouri. For information on local meetings e-mail us at email@example.com. You are welcome to visit our online church presence at www.mediachurch.net. Here you may attend live online meetings, enjoy on demand videos, and request a pastoral call. We conduct regular live prayer events, weekly teachings, live gatherings, online forums, classes and fellowship opportunities which you may learn all about as our guest at Mediachurch.net.
QUESTION: Do you require donation for prophetic requests?
ANSWER: We encourage donations but we respond as possible to every request that comes in donation or not. Like any other ministry (such as your local church), donations are needful to pay the expenses related to what we do. This is self evident in our view but out of kindness we want to answer the question because it comes up occasionally. There are many scripture references that speak of this, one of which speaks directly to prophetic ministry (please look up 1 Sam. 9:6-9 – it couldn't be clearer.) Requests are not ignored simply because someone does not donate.
QUESTION: I made a request some time ago. Where is my personal prophecy?
ANSWER: It can take as long as 30 days to hear from us. If you have waited longer than that please use the follow up link to request attention to this matter. You need to put our e-mail address (firstname.lastname@example.com) in your contacts and safe sender list. Then check your spam filters and folders and you should find the prophetic word we sent to you there. If not please request a FOLLOW UP HERE and we will look into this further.
QUESTION: How do I request personal prophecy?
ANSWER: To proceed simply fill out the form located under the "request" link above.
QUESTION: I submitted a request for ministry. When will I receive My prophetic word?
ANSWER: Your prophetic word will arrive within 30 days. If you do not receive it in that time check your spam filters and contact us if necessary.
QUESTION: I want to learn more about the prophetic gifts and how to hear the voice of God. Do you have a class I can take?
ANSWER: Yes. You can join the PROPHETIC INTERNSHIP ACTIVATION course. You will receive 12 Weeks of lessons, videos, mentoring and prophetic activation assignments.
QUESTION: How do I subscribe to the Daily Prophetic Word?
ANSWER: The Daily Prophetic Word is open to all as our free gift to you. Simply use the subscription form on the home screen and you will be subscribed.
QUESTION: Do you minister directly over the phone?
ANSWER: Yes. We make ourselves available for PROPHETIC COUNSELING and PASTORAL CALLS. See the links on the left.
QUESTION: What is the difference between an audio prophetic word via e-mail and prophetic counseling?
ANSWER: Prophetic Counseling is more interactive and involves more time (up to one hour or more).
QUESTION: I am interested in having you as a guest. Do you travel in ministry?
ANSWER: Yes we would be honored to minister to groups of all sizes. We minister in churches, conferences, businesses, and prophetic small groups as well. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
QUESTION: Do you sell personal prophecy or sell your services?
ANSWER: No we do not. We address every request that comes to us according to our ability and available time. Your donation if you choose to make one is not a purchase. We do not sell personal prophecy, prophetic counseling, or dream interpretation.
QUESTION: The word of God is free. Do you provide services that do not involve donation?
ANSWER: Yes. We send out the daily prophetic word, teachings, prophetic words, etc. to thousands each month without donation. Your contributions if you choose to do so make this ministry available to tens of thousands every month.
QUESTION: Can you advise me on my legal problems or medical condition?
ANSWER: Prophetic ministry, prophecy, prayer or counsel provided by Father's Heart Ministry or its representatives is no substitute for financial advice; legal counsel, medical treatment or opinion.
QUESTION: What is the monetary value of the different ministries you provide?
ANSWER: None. Prophetic prayer, counsel, or teaching is spiritual in nature and therefore does not have an intrinsic monetary value. What you give is a reflection of your appreciation for the benefit you derive from what you receive.
QUESTION: On What basis do you receive donations?
ANSWER: On a free will offering basis. Prophetic ministry in its various forms is offered as an intangible religious benefit for the recipient in return and in appreciation for your donation. We function as both a ministry and a church and your donations go to further the work and vision of Father's Heart Ministry in our various works, travels, and to defray the cost of our online presence and support our small staff.

Piano proving grounds don't come more efficient than Pierre Boulez's Piano Sonata No. 1, utilizing more of the instrument every 20 seconds than most pieces do in their entirety. On Sunday afternoon, pianist Paavali Jumppanen powered through Boulez's volatile twists and turns to inaugurate the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's new Steinway piano.
The sound of the new piano — selected by Jumppanen on a trip to Steinway's factory in Hamburg this summer — was still veiled behind the pianistic equivalent of new-car smell, the sonic line between resonant and thick not yet clear. But Jumppanen's performance of the Sonata was fierce and strong, its young-man provocations (Boulez wrote it when he was 21) angled to a point. (A sharp one at that: Jumppanen paused before the next number to wipe blood off the keys.)

Photo Flash: Sierra Rep's A SECOND HELPING: THE CHURCH BASEMENT LADIES SEQUEL Begins Tonight
Sierra Repertory Theatre's A SECOND HELPING: THE CHURCH BASEMENT LADIES SEQUEL will run tonight, April 25 - June 8, 2014 at the Fallon House Theatre. Inspired by the books of Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson, authors of Growing Up Lutheran, the show features book by Greta Grosch and music & lyrics by Drew Jansen and Dennis Curley. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast below!
SRT is bringing back the heartwarming humor and antics of our favorite flock of Lutheran ladies from rural Minnesota. A Second Helping picks up the story in 1969 with the world changing. As Vietnam War protests swell and women everywhere demand equal pay for equal work, the finely tuned ladies running the church basement kitchen face changes of their own. From the elderly matriarch to the young mom-to-be, these women find strength in each other as they deal with the joys and upheavals from below the House of God! "You'll laugh until your sidedish hurts" with their hilarious, down-to-earth charm. This is most certainly true.

A University of Virginia spokeswoman says President Barack Obama will not be at the university when he comes to Charlottesville on Wednesday. In a statement released Friday, it was confirmed that the university declined the president's request to speak at UVA.
UVA says the Obama campaign requested the use of one of two outdoor venues - the Amphitheater or the Harrison-Small Library plaza. The university declined the request for a number of reasons including class cancellations, which UVA estimates could be more than 186 classes on the second day of school. The other main reason is they would have to take on the full cost of security, and because of university policy and their federal and state tax exempt status, they would have to offer the same opportunity to the other candidate so as not to show favor for either candidate.
Virginia's top Democrat is playing down the snub. While stopping in Albemarle County, Virginia Democratic Party Chairman Brian Moran told NBC29, "We're proud that he's coming. We're very excited that he's coming to Charlottesville, regardless of where in Charlottesville. Charlottesville is known for the University of Virginia, so I don't think that's going to be missed on anyone."
Other than the denied request from the university, questions still remain about the where and when of the event.
The Albemarle County Democratic Party blocked off 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on their website's calendar for Obama's visit, but there is still a lot of speculation and uncertainty.
UVA spokesperson Carol Wood confirmed President Obama will not be speaking at the university. Meanwhile, other information coming in Friday is narrowing down the details.
According to the UVA Communications Office earlier on Friday, they offered up John Paul Jones Arena, but were told it "was not academic enough" by the Obama for America campaign.
Meanwhile, Albemarle County Police Chief Steve Sellers says they know of a "proposed" location, but can't say where because of Secret Service restrictions. It could be the nTelos Wireless Pavilion.
nTelos Wireless Pavilion General Manager Kirby Hutto tells NBC29 they've been asked to save the date, but nothing's been confirmed. Regardless of where or when it is, the Obama campaign office says it's ready.
Charlottesville Democratic Co-chair Jim Nix said, "Virginia is one of the battleground states and we're quite excited that Charlottesville is considered one of the more important destinations in Virginia, a place that will play a big role in electing the next president, so we're very excited about it and looking forward to it."
Nix says there's no confirmed time or date for selling tickets for the event, but it's possible that the time will be set for Sunday at noon, if everything is in place by then.
The full details about the president's visit are expected to be released no later than this weekend. We will bring you more information as soon as it becomes available.
The NBC29 newsroom has received the following statement from University of Virginia Spokesperson Carol Wood:

Saranac's Bissonette goes back-to-back in boys' singles
PLATTSBURGH — The Section VII New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) qualifier for boys' and the Section VII Individual Tournament for girls' crowned its champions Tuesday.
Saranac's Shawn Bissonette went back-to-back, claiming his second consecutive boys' singles title.
After defeating Johnny McAuliffe of Peru 6-1 and 6-2 in the semifinals, the top-seeded senior knocked off Northeastern Clinton's Ryan Marks in the finals, 6-2 and 6-1.
"Two times in a row — not many people do it," Bissonette said. "And from Saranac, where tennis isn't very popular. I'm very happy I won."
The championships were delayed multiple times before first round, second round and quarterfinal action got underway Monday.
Bissonette said the key to his success was his mental approach.
"You've just got to have the mental capabilities to push through it," Bissonette said. "Those four rain delays were tough, but you just have to get out there and hit your shots."
The NYSPHSAA accepts the top three qualifiers from both boys' singles and doubles.
After besting McAuliffe in the semifinals, Bissonette said he had some comfort knowing he would automatically advance to state play, giving him an opportunity to focus on the championship.
"It felt great beating (McAuliffe) because we play all winter, and we play all the time together," Bissonette said. "I was really glad I could pull through, too. It's always close between me and him."
Marks, who nabbed runner-up status, knocked off Bissonette during the regular season, but was unable to steal a set in the championship bout.
"I wanted revenge from the (regular) season," Bissonette said. "I just brought it. Shots fell in, so I pulled through."
Bissonette, who also won a doubles championship his sophomore year, outscored his opponents 48-7 and never lost a single set during two days of play.
McAuliffe eliminated Peru's Peter Daly 6-0, 7-6 and (7-0) to win the consolation match, advancing to the state tournament.
Top-seeded McKenna Hunter and Adam Khater of Northeastern Clinton earned the boys' doubles championship, defeating teammates Austin Tetreault and Brendan Boutin in two sets, 6-3 and 6-2.
The two were upended in the championship match a season ago by Lake Placid's Nick Stosiek and Alex Kelinek, 6-4, 2-6 and 6-4.
"It's emotional," Hunter said. "Last year, we lost in the finals. This year, to take it home, especially for me being a senior, it's kind of awesome."
Khater said it was a little strange playing his teammates, who knocked off second-seeded Kyle Kemp and Patrick Demarais of Peru in the quarterfinals, but was gratifying.
"It feels great," Khater said. "I mean, both of us worked hard this season and over the offseason last year. It just feels nice it paid off."
Plattsburgh High's Chris Gray and seventh grader Brendan Whalen advanced to the state tournament after fending off teammates Adam Dodge and Guillermo Saguar, winning the third-place match, 6-1 and 6-3.
Bissonette, Marks, McAuliffe, Hunter, Khater, Tetreault, Boutin, Gray and Whalen begin first-round play at the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows Thursday.
After being upset in last year's girls' singles championship 7-5 and 6-3 by Peru's Abby Higgins, Plattsburgh High's Marle Curle hoped for a shot at revenge.
The senior was able to do so in thrilling fashion, outdueling Georgia O'Leary of Lake Placid in a marathon via tiebreaker, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6 and (10-8).
"I started off really strong and then I went into a lull," Curle said. "But I'm glad I pulled it out in the third set. She's really good. It's definitely vindicating."
O'Leary, who transferred to Lake Placid from Northwood Prep, defeated Curle handily during the regular season, 6-1 and 6-1.
"It was definitely good to come back and get a win," Curle said. "Early in the season, I didn't even know that she had been playing for Lake Placid. So, when I went in to play Lake Placid, I was definitely shocked because she's an amazing player. It kind of gave me a reality check, and I'm just glad I got to win (Tuesday)."
Because girls' tennis is played during the fall statewide, the NYSPHSAA does not recognize a state tournament during the spring.
However, Beekmantown's Olivia Wyand defeated Margaret Mitchell of Peru in three sets to finish third, 6-4, 3-6 and 6-4.
Northeastern Clinton's Abbie Miller and Jenna LaValley were crowned champions of the girls' doubles bracket, claiming a two-set sweep (6-4 and 6-1) over Seton Catholic's Alyse Clark and Lauren Richter.
"It was interesting coming into it because we play singles," LaValley said. "So, we've never played together and stuff, but it was fun. (Miller) was a No. 1 singles player throughout the year, and I was competing at No. 2."
Clark and Richter advanced to the finals after eliminating Sarah Babbie and Morgan Rabideau of Northeastern Clinton in the semifinals, 5-7, 6-2 and 6-3.
Lake Placid's Victoria O'Leary and Grace McGrew earned a third-place finish, besting Babbie and Rabideau in the consolation round, 6-0 and 7-5.

Should Community Bankers care about TAG!? Do they need it? Do they use it? Some would have you believe that TAG, and its renewal are central to the survival of Community Banks… without it, deposits would evaporate…
Luckily, that isn't the case. Not at all. Just take a look at FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile report for 3rd Quarter 2012.
Data shows that Community Banks use TAG to insure just $50 billion of deposits (~3% of the total TAG deposits), with a typical Community Bank insuring an average of just 17 accounts. Not surprisingly, the primary users of TAG are a small number of very large banks… just 108 banks to be precise that cumulatively hold more than 90% of the TAG insured deposits.
Should Community Bankers care about TAG? Is it important to their business? The numbers very clearly demonstrate that TAG is only important to 108 large banks. Community Banks derive little benefit from the program.

I should be watching hockey tonight.
Instead, I'm switching between baseball games and football, because there's no hockey to watch. ESPN trolled us with that farce of "play-by-play" that Levy and Melrose did during the KHL broadcast yesterday. I'm surprised they didn't discuss what was in the ESPN cafeteria during lunch, as I believe they were probably adding their audio in between bites. With the lack of physical play over there, it was harder for me to keep interest. I nearly fell asleep, to be honest. It's just not the same.
I should be watching hockey tonight.
What I should not be doing is looking up tweets to see if any progress is being made in CBA negotiations. Why are we even at this point? Because both sides are guilty of deadly sins:
1. Pride. Neither side wanted to look "weak" by suggesting beginning talks earlier than June 29. If the issues were so great and both sides felt it needed a lot of time to talk it out, why on Earth did they wait so long? The only people who get anything done through procrastination are college students and journalists (and they're generally good at it because they're always on deadlines...I know, because I am one).
2. Greed. Neither side wants to concede what, ultimately, is a small percentage of the pie. Nobody with any sense could have thought that either side's opening offer for the players' share was going to stand, so we're realistically dealing in a range of six to eight percent. Truth be told, it's probably going to wind up in the area of, oh, I don't know...50 PERCENT! And even if it doesn't land right on the midpoint, it'll be close, making both sides look like bumbling idiots ("Hmmm, you know, we probably could have gotten this done sooner"). If you want to meet in the middle, find it and get there. Quit jerking everybody around and get to the point.
3. Anger. This one's on the players. They don't like Gary Bettman (and honestly, not a lot of people do), but he has presided over an era where their salaries have grown exponentially and jobs were added (expansion franchises, including the one we all come here to discuss). But the players can't really do anything to get him out, since Bettman works with and for the owners. So their anger is probably clouding their judgement somewhat, since rubbing it in his face seems to be a prevailing theory here, instead of lacing up the skates as soon as possible.
4. Gluttony. Both sides are guilty. By definition, gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. I bolded that statement because it's millionaires and billionaires fighting over money, and they don't want to lose any part of the luxury that they have because of the game they are involved in. They want the lavish, but forget that they are PLAYING A GAME. They don't realize just how good they have it. I know not all players are like this, but there are some that are.
They're also guilty of envy, but this kind of envy isn't a deadly sin, since they envy the other three major professional leagues and their current states (though the NFL and NBA had to struggle to get there, too).
I should be watching hockey tonight.
Instead, I'm recalling how Craig Leipold opened his checkbook on July 4 for Suter and Parise, then opened his mouth with other owners crying poor.
My crosshairs are squarely on Liarpold's mouth, the same piehole that made the noise about how Nashville wasn't a good hockey market. I have no use for that "man" (more like a snake) and hope his investments short change him in not leading the Wild to the playoffs. He might have kept the Preds out of Balsillie's hands, but that's the only nice thing I'll say about him now.
We should be preparing to see the Predators open their season against the Red Wings. Instead, the only NHL action right now is happening in New York boardrooms and the last time I checked, those things don't have ice.
I know that venting is the only real thing I can do about it now (since I was refunded the money I paid for opening night tickets), but I can do that just the same. If this sounds like I'm angry, you can bet the farm that I am.
Because I should be watching hockey tonight. Just like the rest of you.

Add to city's Medicaid rolls? Mayor must cut costs & reform aid
By E.J. MCMAHON
NO Just how big a financial headache is Medicaid becoming for the city's strapped taxpayers? Mayor Bloomberg's latest budget plan answers that question in no uncertain terms:
"Medicaid spending is one of the biggest components of New York City's budget, and costs continue to rise at a dramatic rate....The growth in Medicaid expenditures far outpaces the city's ability to raise revenue....It is imperative that the state and localities find ways to control the exploding costs of the Medicaid program."
And yet, as the Daily News reported this week, the Bloomberg administration is still doing everything it can to add tens of thousands of uninsured people to the Medicaid rolls. Thanks partly to the city's HealthStat program, total Medicaid enrollment in New York City topped the 2 million mark last yearmeaning that one in four city inhabitants is now in the program. The city's share of Medicaid costs is expected to top $4 billion next year.
Mayoral aides explain the contradiction by noting that people without health insurance coverage tend to develop more severe medical problems and end up in hospital emergency rooms, leaving the city Health and Hospitals Corp. to foot most of the bill for their care. Therefore, the argument goes, enrolling the uninsured in Medicaid managed care will save money in the long run.
But HealthStat is not really about saving money. It's about insuring the working poor and leveraging more federal and state dollars for HHCgoals that inevitably make it much more difficult to balance the city budget. Whatever savings may be attributable to the program in the long run, in the short run it clearly will push up Medicaid costs at a time when the city can least afford it.
The inconsistency between Bloomberg's budget complaints and his Medicaid signup drive highlights the conflict inherent in the city government's dual responsibility for running a public hospital system while financing up to half the nonfederal share of Medicaid costs. As a result, the city's health care policy priorities over the years frequently have been contradictory, not to mention incoherent.
Unfortunately, the mayor so far has failed publicly to outline a clear and compelling agenda of Medicaid reforms that would really save money and help close the budget gap. Instead, Bloomberg's preliminary budget plan vaguely calls on the state to enact "options that establish priorities" and "recurring savings at the local and state government levels," without actually saying what he has in mind. Gov. Pataki's new budget does not appear to be very helpful in this regardbut what else is new?
It's time for the mayor to get much more specific on Medicaid reform.
If Bloomberg really thinks it's possible to "control the exploding
costs of the Medicaid program" while simultaneously encouraging
a come-and-get-it approach to Medicaid enrollment, he's going to have
to show how it can be done.

Having picked up maximum points in their two Amlin Challenge Cup games in the last two weeks, London Wasps return to the Aviva Premiership this weekend with a game against London Irish at the Madejski.
Rob Webber will step onto the pitch this weekend for his 100th club appearance for London Wasps.
Tom Varndell and Christian Wade both return to the wings after a week's rest, while Hugo Southwell retains his place at fullback after a man of the match performance and three tries last weekend.
Dom Waldouck and Elliot Daly pair up in the centres for the first time this season, having both impressed in the last few week. Nic Berry and Nick Robinson start at nine and ten respectively.
Rob Webber, making his landmark 100th appearance, joins Tim Payne and Ben Broster in the front row, supported by the familiar second row pairing of Marco Wentzel and Ross Filipo, while the back row remains unchanged with Matt Everard and Richard Birkett flanking and captain John Hart at number 8.
Director of Rugby Dai Young said, "This is obviously a massive game for us and this next period of five games will really shape our season. We understand the threat that London Irish pose to us. Despite only winning three games, they have scored a lot of points, which has given them the bonus points to put them at third in the table. "
"It was evident from last weekend's game against Cardiff that, even with 14 men, they could have won that game, and there is obviously a great team spirit there for them to put out those kind of performances."
"Our performances in the Amlin Challenge Cup have given us a few selection headaches. At Loosehead and at Hooker, Zak Taulafo and Tom Lindsay have both shown some real class and were very unlucky to miss out on a starting place this weekend. Also, in the backs Richard Haughton has really impressed, and is equally as unfortunate to be on the bench today. Competition within the squad is great and I know that those guys will want to prove a point when they do come on."
"It is really exciting for the club to have so many young players performing well in the first team and it is really pleasing to be able to give Elliot Daly a starting place this weekend. A special mention should also go to Rob Webber who makes his 100th appearance for the club this week. Rob is a real leader within the team despite being only 25 and I expect no different from him today."

You don't want just any elves flitting around to assist you with gifts and requests and Christmas lists, you need elves that are not only productive, but pieces of pixie perfection, and that is exactly what this great little velvet elf costume is.

The most festive accessory to this playful elf suit is the matching velvet hat with bells, which sits comfortably on the head and has a soft tip that curves around like a snow slope, and matches the velvet elf shoes with the same spunky tips on them.

Burglar uses crowbar to break into Leon Valley car wash token machine
Suspect caught on surveillance video, stole about $40 from Paradise Car Wash and Detail Co.
SAN ANTONIO - A man was caught on surveillance video using a crowbar to break into the Paradise Car Wash and Detail Co. token dispenser early Wednesday morning in Leon Valley.
Adolfo Garza, who owns the car wash on Evers Road, said the thief got away with only about $40 cash, but did several hundred dollars worth of damage to the machine.
Garza said the man, who appeared to be driving a Mercedes-Benz, appears in the video shortly after 2 a.m., and leaves after about 20 minutes.
Garza said the Leon Valley Police Department is investigating the crime.

Another year for Weeden?
DEC 21, 2012 12:28p ET
In a town starved for wins and long-suffering because of losses (54 the past five years alone), a failure of a Browns quarterback draws condemnation faster than the Tasmaniam Devil spins.
Brandon Weeden suffered that fate this week.
He played the second-worst game of his career against Washington, and the outcry was loud. It was not unwarranted based on that one game, because he played poorly.
But were it not for ownership change and a coaching change that might follow, Weeden might be looked at a little different. Or at least given more time.
"He's in a rookie season of learning what the drill is and getting that first lap around the track," offensive coordinator Brad Childress said. "That's no different than he or Mitchell Schwartz or Josh (Gordon) or anybody. Can we expect it to get better? You should expect it to get better."
Because the expectation is things will get better, teams will stick with young quarterbacks provided they show something. Childress believes Weeden deserves that consideration.
"If you say, 'Geez, the guy has had time to do this,' … is one year time?" Childress said. "I don't think so. I think typically, you're judging those guys two and three and four year increments, if you give them that long."
A look at the numbers shows that Weeden might not be setting the world on fire, but he's had a fairly decent season. Andrew Luck receives more plaudits (deserved) because the Colts are winning, but his and Weeden's numbers are not that different:
--Weeden ranks ninth in the league with 498 attempts, ahead of Philip Rivers, Eli Manning, Joe Flacco, Matt Schaub and Aaron Rodgers. This might be the single most amazing stat Weeden has. With a back taken third overall on the roster, the Browns are asking Weeden to throw 35.6 passes per game.
--Weeden's completion percentage is not good: 57.2. That ranks him 30th, and only guys like Josh Freeman, Mark Sanchez, John Skelton and Chad Henne are worse. Oh … Andrew Luck also is worse. For Weeden, this could be the combination of adjusting to a new offense and working under center, but it's a number that must improve.
--Weeden is 17th in the league with 3,281 passing yards, which is partly a result of the number of throws. But it's way ahead of fellow rookies Ryan Tannehill, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson. Weeden has more starts than any other rookie in Browns history, and more yards. In fact, if he averages 297.5 yards the final two games (which is a lot) he would have the second-best single-season passing yardage total by any Browns quarterback (Brian Sipe's 4,132 is first). The guy clearly has the arm and ability to make the throws.
--His yards per attempt is 6.59, which is too low and well behind RG3's 8.21. This yards per attempt is typical of Shurmur's quarterbacks, and system. The previous two seasons he called plays for Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford, and they averaged 5.9 and 6.0 per attempt. Weeden's seems Favre-like in comparison.
--Weeden has 14 touchdowns, which is 23rd, and 17 interceptions, which is tied for third. That's not good, but … as a rookie Peyton Manning had 26 TDs and 28 interceptions and won three games. Go down the list. In their rookies seasons, Tim Couch was 15 TDs and 13 INTs, Eli Manning six and nine (and 1-6), Cam Newton 21 and 17, Matt Stafford 13 and 20, Carson Palmer 18 and 18 and David Carr nine and 15. All were highly drafted. As well as Luck has played, he leads the league in interceptions with 18. Weeden suffers by comparison with RG3, who has 18 TDs and four INTs. But then Luck suffers in that comparison as well. The big difference: Luck has nine wins, Weeden five.
--Because of the interceptions Weeden's ranking is a brutal 72.4, which puts him 32nd in the league. One ahead of him? Luck.
As for the issues most complained about, Childress said he does not agree that Weeden holds the ball too long, but he admits Weeden has had too many passes batted down at the line.
"They haven't quit on the rush and from our standpoint, we probably can't be staring in the same spot for too long," Childress said.
One large question about Weeden that won't go away is his age. At 29, if he does not go on a the positive progression next season, he's already 30. His age drove teams from drafting him, but the same Denver Broncos team that won with Tim Tebow and then signed Peyton Manning had Weeden high on their draft boards last April. The age issue affects patience, and makes it important that Weeden not plateau.
Will he get better next season?
"I'm not going to say leaps and bounds," Childress said. "I would say you'd see a different guy come to training camp, and progress through the preseason and into the regular season. That's provided things stay static around him, which there's no guarantee there either.
"This is a fluid business as we all know."
Yes, as we all know.
No team should ever stop looking at acquiring better players -- at every position. McCoy could tell Weeden a thing or two about that reality.
Weeden has ways he can improve, no doubt. But he's done enough as a rookie to be given another season -- provided the team does not bring in someone who is clearly better.
If there were no ownership change, though, another season would probably be a given.
At this point nothing is a given with the Browns. With ownership and front office change, change for the sake of change always remains an option.

Kevin Neal, Convicted of Murder by Forensic Entomology
The Children are Missing
Kevin Neal told police he was cleaning up inside the far house on Knight Road in rural Champaign County, Ohio, when he realized that he no longer heard the children playing in the yard. It was about 1:30 p.m. on July 9, 1997. He told authorities that he looked for the children for about half an hour, then picked up the phone and called police to report them missing.
"One minute they were there, the next they were gone," he would say later.
On the phone with the 911 dispatcher, Neal made a curious request. He asked the dispatcher to call his wife at work because she would be less upset hearing about the situation from an authority figure than from him. Champaign County sheriff's deputies, their plans to spend the day eradicating marijuana fields scuttled by fog in Columbus that kept their helicopters grounded, arrived on the scene within minutes and the hunt for the missing children began in earnest.
Shortly after that, Sue Neal, the mother of the two children, drove up and leapt out of her car. She made a beeline for Kevin, screaming over and over, "What the — have you done with my kids!" She was so emotional that she had to be restrained by deputies so she would not physically assault her husband.
Her outburst surprised authorities, who separated the couple and began asking questions. Apart from each other, Kevin and Sue Neal told similar stories about the home situation.

Winter Music Playlist to Keep You Warmed Up!
I've said before that music makes the workout, and different workouts require different beats, genres, and moods. Since much of the country is dealing with snow and freezing temperatures this month, I created a new cardio workout playlist for warming up those cold winter muscles and sweating your way to spring. It's comprised of new songs, some of which bang out body-moving lyrics. Two of them were recently performed in the Victoria's Secret fashion show this month and really made me want to move.
Healthy Holiday Travel Tips
The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day can be the most damaging and unhealthy time of the whole year. While Thanksgiving is behind us, Christmas and New Year's weeks are upon us, and it's never too late to get on top of your nutritional game! There is no better time than right now to make yourself and your health a priority. Since so many people will be traveling over the next couple of weeks, I wanted to provide you with a toolkit to take with you on the road, plane, or train (or even to use at home) during this challenging time of year.
Holidays Made Perfect
Teammates, once again the holidays are here, and for many of us, the holidays are a potluck of mixed emotions from joy and happiness to stress and sadness. For me, the holidays are an Awesome time of year – I love seeing my boys getting all amped-up about Santa, reconnecting with old friends, and of course great bonding with buddies and my bride and my family. However, without fail, I run into folks that don't feel the same way I do about the holidays…that's fine – it's their call…and that's what I want to remind you about.
Free Baby Bootie Camp and Yoga Workout!
Here is a little holiday treat to all the new moms out there (if you are not one, there is a 15 minute yoga section for anyone.) I uploaded the entire 15 minute NikkiFitness Baby Bootie Camp workout and 15 minute soothing yoga stretch onto YouTube for a limited time. The video was shot in Mexico on the beach, and uses your baby as the weight.
Grappling Moves for the Street — Escaping the Mount
Photo From UFC.com
The popularity of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and the systems on which it is based (like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) means that it's not unlikely that you could end up facing a grappler if you were to get into a fight. The grappling moves an MMA or BJJ guy will use are pretty simple really, at least philosophically. He wants to take you to the ground, get you in a superior position, and beat the hell out of you. Commonly called the "ground and pound", it's done most effectively from the grappling move called the "mount position". This is when your attacker is on top of you, straddling you, beating you to a bloody pulp with his fists while you cower on the ground and can't do much to stop him. Or can you?
Bodybuilding Supplements on a Budget!
If you're serious about adding nutritional supplements to your bodybuilding program then your first step is to realize that this is going to be a monthly expenditure just like your car payment or phone bill.
And of course, you want to keep it MUCH closer to your phone bill than your car payment, right?
Let me share with you 2 EASY STEPS to saving a TON on your supplement bill…
Free Fitness Gifts for Helping a Child! (2 Days Only!)
Want to grab some cool free fitness gifts while helping to grant a sick child's wish?
It's a real win-win scenario and here's how to help yourself and a needy child all at the same time…
You see, one of my life's dreams has always been to work with children who are very sick or terminally ill to add more hope & happiness in their life. As a father of an 8 y.o. little boy, I can't imagine what it would be like if my son, Tristan, were to be diagnosed with cancer, multiple sclerosis, or some other debilitating disease. Children should be running down the sidewalk with their friends — laughing, jumping, playing. Yet so many watch other children play while they lie in bed, sit in a wheelchair, or get into the car time after time for the endless visits to be poked and prodded by doctors and hooked up to machines. Recently I've begun to work with the "Make A Wish Foundation", an organization that brings hope and joy to sick children by granting them a "wish" they've always wanted. (http://Wish.org)
Motivate Me to Lose Weight! Part 1
I'm hungry right now! It must have something to do with that I jogged around my neighborhood in 20-degree weather. I didn't run as far as I normally have in the past. The roads were covered in black ice. Why did I do it? I still have a fitness goal, whether or not I could make it to the gym. The bottom line is that I'm motivated and excited about changing my body, and I am enjoying the process.
My inbox is filled with questions about how to lose weight after having a baby, surgery, etc. Some want to know how to get in shape in order to join the armed forces or manage their diabetes. My husband and I have over 100 free workouts on www.startfitness.com, with many of the fitness programs designed to answer common inquiries.
However if the information is out there, why are people still asking the same question? They are asking because they are hoping I'll infuse them with something that will add a little resilience to their daily routine, something that might inspire them to get started or to continue toward the prize.
Being in SEAL Shape
By Don Shipley, retired SEAL chief and the man behind Extreme SEAL.
It is very important in the SEAL Teams that you can handle your body-weight plus the weight of your gear.
What I mean by body weight is how much you weigh slick, with nothing on.
You need to keep in mind that when you walk out the door to go to work you always have at least thirty extra pounds of gear on, and depending on your job that night you might have as much as 50 or more extra pounds.
Multiple Attackers Self Defense — Defeating the Setup
Unfortunately, if you ever find yourself in a real street fight, you always need to consider the possibility that you're being targeted by more than one person. This is particularly true in the case of street crime, in that gangs of criminals often work together. Or you could simply accidentally back your car into a truck load of drunken beer buddies at the local convenient store and find yourself facing some big dudes who feel a responsibility to teach you a lesson. As you can well imagine, being in this sort of situation can be potentially life-threatening, so of course it's crucial that you make yourself aware of your surroundings and also if anyone is trying to get in behind you to set you up for an attack.
When someone becomes a victim of multiple attackers in a real street fight, they are often held from behind while the rest of the group does all the punching and kicking. The only hope you have in this type of scenario is to reverse this dangerous setup as quickly as possible. Let's take a look at one effective self defense technique for doing just that.
Crazy Exercise Obliterates Upper Chest Muscles!
I hesitate to even write this article because any knucklehead who doesn't follow my instructions to the letter could SERIOUSLY injure himself!
But I'm going to chance it because this is going to become one of your best "secret weapons" in your chest building routine. In fact, done right, you'll quickly see growth in that hard-to-hit area of your upper chest that seems to flip you "the finger" every time you look in the mirror. It's an "old school" chest burner from legendary "Mr. Cranky Pants", Vince Gironda…
Lose Weight Without Dieting
My next blog was going to be about detailing weight loss for clients. Then, after weighing myself the other morning and realized, this month marks a year since I was pregnant with my first child. I have lost not only all of the 35 pounds of pregnancy weight, but an additional 6 pounds to boot. While I have a long road to hoe back to a chiseled body, 41 pounds later, I am my own living testimonial.
How, you might ask, did I do it? For the first six months, I poured over every post and article about losing weight while breastfeeding. I just wasn't losing the rest of the weight. Why did the extra fat seem ready to continue hanging out like a bad houseguest? I thought, I'm a fitness professional, shouldn't this be easy? Wrongly or rightly no, it wasn't easy. After reading myself silly, I emerged from the computer with a new illuminated light bulb overhead. Breastfeeding was keeping a few of the unwanted pounds on in order to nourish my little growing boy. So, I kept eating the right portions but stopped with the obsessive worry.
How to Fight: Powerful Combo Self Defense Technique
Most people trying to defend themselves in a fight end up using little more than barroom brawling tactics rather than real self defense techniques. Two fighters throwing haymaker punches from left field, all aimed at striking the head or upper body. If you've ever seen a real street fight in action, you'll notice that these punches rarely hit their intended target and therefore do little damage. This makes this fighting methodology very ineffective as a self defense technique. But there's a better way…
How to Build Bigger Biceps in 3 Easy Steps
Clint Eastwood wouldn't have been a very intimidating Dirty Harry if all he pulled out was a little .22 caliber pistol to make his point. He knew that to really make the bad guy's knees shake and the lady's legs quiver, a .44 Magnum was the weapon of choice?!
So when it comes to bicep development, why should YOU settle for second rate pea-shooters when you can pack some REALLY BIG GUNS?
Let's face it, all men want big biceps. They're the easiest muscle to show off without getting undressed, women love to wrap their arms around them when walking down the street, and they're SMALL .
Whoa…I didn't mean YOURS were small. I simply mean that compared with other muscles of the body, like your chest, back, and legs, your biceps are a relatively small muscle. That's GOOD NEWS!
Holiday Fitness with Fox and Friends!
We are in the thick of it! Holiday shopping, parties, traveling and stress take a toll on our bodies and calendars. Studies show that the average person gains between 1–5 pounds during the holidays. That means 15–75 pounds since 1995 if you didn't work it off!
I teamed up with Fox and Friends to show some holiday fitness moves that you can do anywhere - a hotel room, your grandmother's basement, or an airport. Check out these moves and my Fit Travel Workout DVD for full body toning and cardio moves that require no equipment. It only takes 30 minutes to be in the thin of it this year, and boost your mood while lowering stress by fitting in your fitness this holiday season.
Playground Trick to Escape Multiple Attackers
A self defense situation that involves multiple attackers is one of the most dangerous ones to be in. It's bad enough if you're facing an attacker on the street that's stronger and bigger than you are, but when you're facing a group of people, even when they're smaller than you, a group like this can kill you. If a group of attackers is able to get you to the ground and start pounding you, the last thing you ever see may be their boots. Your main priority in a situation like this is to escape!
Escaping should not be thought of as cowardly. When the odds are not in your favor and there is a slim chance of winning such a street attack, only a fool would stick around to fight and risk being maimed or killed. Nearly every self defense instructor will advise his students to run from a fight whenever possible. While this is great advice, there's one thing that many people fail to take into account; what if one of the multiple attackers runs faster than you do?
Long Lost Supplement Burns Fat and Saves Muscle
All but lost is a little-known "old school" supplement that used to be one of pro bodybuilding's best supplements for when competitors were trying to shed crazy amounts of body fat but needed to hold on to as much muscle as possible.
Why haven't you heard of it as often?
Well quite frankly, over the years, individual supplements just haven't been as sexy as the high priced "breakthrough formulas" being marketed…and not as profitable for the supplement companies!
So what is this amazing (yet boring) supplement that can dramatically increase fat-burning while helping keep the muscle mass you've worked so hard for?

It's normally an advantage to win the district tournament championship game. But, don't try telling that to three of the teams who won those titles on Friday, but were eliminated on Monday and Tuesday in the first round of the Fifth Region Girls' Tournament at North Hardin.
The upset trend began when 19th District runner-up Nelson County bested 18th District champion Green County 74-67 on Monday in the tourney's first game in Ron Bevars Gymnasium in Radcliff.
Less than 24 hours after leading her John Hardin team to a home upset over Marion County, Lady Bulldog 5-5 point guard Keisha Compton signed with coach Ginger Colivn and the Campbellsville University Lady Tigers.
"I liked how the campus was set up," Compton said of her decision to sign with CU. "It's small and it's close to home.
"I also liked the way they play. They run and that fits me well.
"I looked at some other schools, but none of them excited me the way Campbellsville did."
Freshmen Courtney Danis (38) and Melly Heaton (26) combined for 64 points and sophomore Kristi Ensminger added 16 as the Campbellsville University Lady Tigers downed West Virginia Tech 91-81 on Saturday afternoon.
The Lady Tigers (15-10), who trailed 68-64 with eight minutes left in the game, used four points (two free throws and a basket) and a Heaton hoop to take the lead for good at 6:13.
Danis' three-point play and Heaton's trey pushed the CU advantage to six and the Lady Tigers never led by less than three the rest of the way.
Campbellsville could not hold double-digit advantages, were outscored 33-19 in the fourth frame and the Lady Eagles lost a 53-48 road encounter at Caverna on Saturday.
CHS still led 29-20 going to the fourth before the Lady Colonels exploded.
Juniors Bronte Karr (11) and Danielle Morris (10) were the leading scorers for Campbellsville.
The Lady Eagles host Washington County at 6:00 on Saturday in the opener of a girl-boy twinbill.
North Hardin pulled away from Campbellsville in the second quarter and shellacked the Eagles in the second half on its way to a 83-39 rout on Tuesday night.
The Trojans (20-6) tallied 44 second-half points while the Eagles managed only 15.
Five players, including substitute Cameron Irvin, scored in double figures for North Hardin while sophomores Thomas Downs had nine and Johnathan Olaniyan seven for Campbellsville (8-15).
The Eagles entertain Washington County on Saturday in the nightcap of a girl-boy twinbill.
Campbellsville University moved up the Mid-South Conference ladder with its second win of the week, a 72-66 home triumph over West Virginia Tech on Saturday.
The Tigers (19-6) raced out to a 36-25 halftime lead and never let the visitors gain a second-half lead.
Nestor Colmenares, who garnered MSC Player of the Week honors, had 19 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocked shots to pace coach Keith Adkins' club. Deveon Jenkins added 18 for CU, which moved into a fourth-place tie with Pikeville, only one game behind the Cumberlands and Lindsey Wilson.
What could get much more American and summer-like than golf, baseball and stock car racing in February?
NASCAR is one of the few sports that have its premier event at the first of the season. That takes place this Sunday when the Daytona 500 is run.
This season's Sprint Cup, yes that's a change from last year's Nextel Cup, and the Nationwide Series, no longer the Busch Series, appear in the Feb. 14 sports section along with the list of Sprint Cup drivers and the previous winners at America's Greatest Race.
Adair County scored last and the Indians bested homestanding Taylor County 45-44 on Tuesday night.
The Indians (18-4 with losses to Boone County, Madison Central, University Heights and Lexington Lafayette) trailed 35-30 with 5:13 left in the fourth quarter when Leonard Macon completed a three-point play for the Cardinals.
However, the defending Fifth Region champions used an 8-2 run to take a 38-37 advantage.
Campbellsville High School's Lady Eagles fought first-half foul difficulties, but stretched a one-point lead into a 12-point triumph at Fort Knox on Saturday afternoon.
The Lady Eagles (3-18) outscored the home team 42-31 in the second half and used Bronte Karr's double-double and also got double-digit scoring efforts from Danielle Morris and Destiny Wilson.
Karr hit 16 of 17 free throws and also grabbed 10 rebounds while Morris scored 15, Wilson 13 and Tiffany Slone eight.
Three new head coaches will take over the reigns of three different athletic programs at Taylor County High School.
Kelly "K.J." Townsend is the Lady Cardinals' new softball coach while Victor Johnson will be the head track coach and Matt Arnold the boys' soccer coach.
Townsend, a former player and coach at Campbellsville University, will become the sixth boss of one of the most successful programs at TCHS.
The Lady Cardinals have won 13 district championships, including the last four and five of the last six.
