Rising From the Ashes
In late July, The Phoenix Restaurant announced it had hired Jeremy Luers to be executive chef and culinary operating partner. According to the press release, "Jeremy will be working to revamp existing catering and event menus, as well as developing a new menu for the relaunch," which is scheduled for late 2013 or early 2014. Luers, who most recently helmed the kitchen at Enoteca Emilia, had been planning to open Madison Public House in the former Boca space in Oakley until The Phoenix came calling.
The Chef Tango
With Owen Maass out at Cumin, Matthew Cranert takes over as executive chef. Cranert had served as executive chef at M, Cumin's sister restaurant.
Josh Campbell may have closed Mayberry, but he's still cooking—he's joined Lavomatic.
A Sweet Expansion
Schneider's Sweet Shop in Bellevue has demolished the vacant building next door and will expand (and add a patio) by next summer. The Kentucky institution celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2014. Follow the renovations on the Schneider's Facebook page.
Killer Views
OpenTable announced their list of the Top 100 Scenic Restaurants in the United States, and two Cincinnati favorites made the list: The Celestial Steakhouse and Primavista. The list is based on reviews submitted to OpenTable by diners.
Bon Appetit Takes Notice (Sort of)
The September issue of Bon Appetit features the Hot 10 2013, a list of the 10 best new restaurants in America, compiled by restaurant and drinks editor Andrew Knowlton. No local restaurants made the final cut. So why mention it? Metropole, in the 21c Hotel, cracked the magazine's list of 50 finalists for the top honors. We're guessing this is one of those times when it's an honor just to be nominated.
Local Flavor
Camp Washington Chili landed a spot on Smithsonian Magazine's list of The 20 Most Iconic Food Destinations Across America, alongside The Varsity in Atlanta, St. Elmo's Steak House in Indianapolis, and Primanti Brothers in Pittsburgh.

Afternoon Ladies,
So I had an early appt this morning and last night I could not sleep and was hyper until I caved and took some melatonin Within 35 mins I was alseep but then I woke up within 4 hrs and started getting everyone up and ready for camp, work, etc Afterwards I plugged in P57 30mins Express Advanced and was tortured in my lower half by Tanya. I thought my legs were going to collapse as my standing leg was jerking so hard Geesh, I ccan probably still squat at least 75lbs with my barbell, so why are my legs acting like wussies Now at night I have been doing my version of the 300 workout, it is a 3 set, 20 rep circuit of Walking lunges, Curtsy lunges, squats, l-lifts and deadlifts. My hammies were tight this morning so maybe I need to really stretch more especially with the isometric workouts.
Laurie- It will be awesome to watch your new rotation and don't forget to measure yourself
Erika- I remember those slow and heavy 1-2 counts, I Like the idea for my chest & back but prefer supersets for bis, tris and shoulders. The Beast,,no I have been looking at JM Revolution but truthfully I can not truly enjoy a good rotation until September when our household goods would hopefully be delivered and setup in the place we still have not found
Tami- Thanks for the continuation, I will be able to get 5-8 done before the movers pack our stuff next month As for those 4 lbs that could be water retention, salt or anything else that the scale likes to display for us. Anytime you are questioned as to being a competing athelete Ms Ironwoman I would not worry
Laurel- It sounds scary and I pray some rain arrives quickly, please be careful.
Ok off to ingest tons and tons of water as it is already 90 here

Hi Ladies! Another day in paradise, that's for sure. It is noon and already 95 degrees outside and the sky is black with smoke. They don't seem to be able to get a handle on this fire, but these outrageously dry conditions combined with wind aren't helping. Tough stuff. We only had the house open for about ten hours last night to try to get some cooler air in, but the smoke was so bad, I felt positively sick when I got up this morning. The fire is getting nearer to us, but is in a remote location across a ridge of hills from us, and last I heard, they aren't fighting this section of the fire right now because no structures are in danger. In other words, with no hint of improving conditions, it is going to be a long week. Nothing can be done about it, though, so life goes on.
I did STS Disk 17/Legs today and felt surprisingly strong given everything. I debated on whether to do tough cardio or not, and decided I would today because I really do think things are going to get worse before they get better when it comes to air quality. So I did Intensity which was perfect because I needed a fun workout to get my mind off this mess. Thanks for all your well wishes regarding this. The entire state is on fire (almost literally) with half the nation's fire resources focused on Colorado. Just keep praying for no further loss of life. And rain.
Tami, I hope you enjoyed you time at the Ironman. At sounds like fun to me! I'm glad you enjoyed STS Total Body. I think S90 is probably enough strength training, but, like programs like P90X, your body may get used to the repetition and, therefore, sore when you change things up. That doesn't mean the program isn't working. It just means the different workouts are challenging your body in a different way.
Laurie, your rotation sounds tough! I hope you enjoy it. Let us know how the kettlebells work. I've tried doing kb workouts, and I just can't seem to get into it though I hear great things about them. I'd be really interested in you notice anything different from any other types of workouts you have been doing.
Erika, I haven't heard anything about that new program from Beachbody, and I'm going to pretend I haven't heard anything now!! Oh, my....that sounds tempting to me. I am definitely in a phase where I am enjoying my strength training much more than my cardio, and anything that could challenge me more and more in that area looks enticing. I'm glad you are enjoying S&H. Yeah, I get the shakes with it too! But I love that feeling.
Michelle, sounds like a brutal lower body workout. You might be doing a bit much with your legs if you are doing that 300 workout each night, and that could be why you really felt it this morning. Stretching is good! Hope you get some cooler weather down there soon. I know you could use it too.
I won't be around tomorrow as I have all day meetings as we get ready for the new AF cadets to arrive on Thursday. I hope you all enjoy the day! See you Thursday.
And, btw, it looks like my email account on yahoo.com has been sending out random emails for a little while. If you receive any emails from me (specifically Tami and Erika, who I know I've communicated to with that email account), just delete it! I have no idea what is going on but will try to figure it out.

Hi Ladies ~ Last night's BootCamp was another good one, not the killer/breathless workout that it has sometimes been, although I think she recognized that and had us do sprints outside TWICE! I was able to partner up with my friend this week, so no Team Awesome! Today was Max Plyo Circuit – I won't be having a p.m. workout until Friday this week. I have something each evening for a few nights …. Today is a Garden Party at a friends house but it will be inside since it is pouring rain most of the day. Tomorrow we have a staff BBQ at our bosses house and Thurs getting my hair done. So going to try and make the most of my a.m. workouts ……
Laurie: Nice combo this a.m.! Sounds like you have a good rotation set up, that will be fun too! Yes, the standing mountain climbers are challenging. It's funny on how many times I have done those lunges and they have never seemed to bother me too much as far as soreness. Must have just hit me just right! Today my leg feels back to normal so that's good! I'll try to send the rain we have your way. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny again for us …
Erika: Sounds like you are having the perfect combo of workouts for yourself right now! That's fantastic and I'm sure you will see great results as well. I haven't heard of The Beast….. Sounds like a good one forsure. I'll have to check it out. So that I can add one more thing to my WISH List! Keep us posted if you decide to go for it. Yes, I think the impromptu rest was good and I wasn't feeling my normal "guilt" that I can on days like that so must have needed it. Thanks for the info on S&H, it does sound like I would like it.
Michelle: Yikes on your heat and Laurel too! My MIL is headed to Dallas this weekend for her granddaughters wedding. She hates the heat so I know she will be uncomfortable forsure. Sounds like you got in a good lower half workout with P57 today! You're definitely not a "wuss", I think it's working those muscles in different ways – which sounds like you are doing a lot of ! Great job. Thank YOU Michelle. I need to have those kinds of things when people compliment me or wonder if I'm competing in IronMan sink into my head more I appreciate that reminder "don't worry" Awesome that you will be able to get in weeks 5-8 before the movers come.
Laurel: I was absolutely saying some prayers for you and all the people in your area today. They had it absolutely highlighted on GMA talking about the crazy heat. OY! If I can send the rain your way I will. It sounds miserable forsure, I'm sorry. Fantastic job getting in your workouts throughout! Yay for Intensity, such a fun one! It is definitely inspiring to see those athletes and to know what they have been through prior to crossing the finish line. Incredible. Thanks for the insight on S90 vs other training. I hadn't really thought of it that way, which I should have. I think the constant variety is good after doing STS …. Throwing in some good Total Body workouts along the way as well, like we did in STS. Thanks for the heads up on your e-mail sending random msgs.
My friend started the discussion again about eating last night and wanted me to look over what she had for the day. I was glad because I felt like I had scared her off when I told her she really needed to eat more. It's just good that she still is open to wanting to do better with it.
Talk to you all tomorrow ~

Hi Ladies. Just wanted to send a quick note to let you all know we were evacuated from our house last night. I've never seen anything quite like what I saw yesterday late in the afternoon and the fire turned suddenly towards town. We had about an hour notice to leave. I am, fortunately, staying with my sister in Denver. DH, unfortunately, is still in Colorado Springs as there is still work to be done at the Air Force Academy. I don't know how long this is going to last, but at least until the weekend. I must say that there is a good chance we will lose the house and everything inside. I could see the flames from the fire before they even called the evacuation. Very scary. But, on the positive side, I did manage to bring nearly all my workout DVDs with me. I plan on taking it easy the next couple of days. This has been quite a shock. If yoiu see anything on the Waldo Canyon fire in Co Springs, that is what we are facing.
I will write more when I get a chance.

Morning Ladies,
Laurel, On my way into work this morning I heard that they where evacuating the AF Academy. My first thought was of you and your DH, and my second thought was I hope she is able to save her workout DVD's! I'm so happy that you where able to do that, but am very sorry to hear about the house you are staying in. I will let you all know how the kb workouts go, I previewed some of the workout this morning. I have gotten an e-mail from a friend of mine saying that her yahoo account was hacked, so hope that isn't what happened with yours.
Erika, I have not been paying attention to The Beast threads on VF. I probably will pass for now, but will be looking at the reveiws for sure. The times on those workouts is appealing. I'm glad that the S&H workouts are doing what you need them to do. I'm kind of a klutz also, so I'm hoping that I can get the hang of these workouts. He says that you can burn over 1000 calories in an hour.
Michelle, Thank you for the reminder to take measurements. I'm going to do that tonight, because in the mornings I always forget. Sounds like you got yourself a good endurance workout into that lower body.
Tami, Tonight is the first evening that I'm able to workout, so understand that. Our house closing went pretty fast last night, and that was great that Citi started doing these home closings. Guess it is easier to do this for people who are just doing refi's. Awe to bad on the Team Awesome, but glad that you had your regular partner back. Yes please send us some rain! It is super dry around here, and we are suppose to get temps in the high 90's getting toward 100. Glad I'm not in Chicago, they are suppose to get to 110 today! Glad to hear that your friend has someone to help her, most of us don't have that support except for online.
Can't believe that I almost forgot to say what I did this morning. After hitting the snooze buttone one to many times , I had enough time to do Insanity Cardio Power & Resistance, and preview the kettlebell workout for about 10 min.
Have a great day!

Good Morning Ladies,
This morning was Slow and Heavy Triceps followed by The Firm Lower Body Sculpt. My tris and legs are fried! I suppose it didn't help that I decided to run sprints last night...legs are shot!
Laurie--I ended up ordering Body Beast...I really liked the reviews so far, and it's straight forward lifting (no creative crazy moves) and the times are right in my desired timeslot. I would like to have another system to work instead of just Chalean Extreme. I'll let you know when I have done one!
Laurel--I also heard about the Air Force housing evacuation this morning. I'm glad you got out safely, and got all of your workout videos too! That fire is just absolutely crazy, and no relief in sight. My college roommate is on the other side of Hwy 24, and is posting pictures several times a day. Her brother is a firefighter, but hasn't gotten called into help on that fire yet. I just hope and pray that rain and lower temps head your way fast! Keep us updated.
Tami--I'm glad bootcamp was still good, but I'm sure you were a bit disappointed that is wasn't the killer workout it has been. Sounds like you have a few fun nights of events coming up, enjoy! I did end up ordering Body Beast (I thought it was called The Beast), and I'll be sure to give you guys a review once I've tried one!
Michelle--I am so proud of you getting your P57 workout in, despite the lack of sleep. That is dedication!! Hopefully you got some rest last night!
Back to work, talk to you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies ~ This a.m. was S90 Chest & Back followed by X-Factor #4! It was a good workout, always love those X-Factor's for add-ons. Tonight is the staff BBQ, which should be fun. It's sunny today so outside at her house will be gorgeous.
Laurie: Great job getting in Cardio Power & Resist. Even after the snooze button was hit a few times, that's great you got it in. Glad your re-fi went well last night. That is great they came to your house forsure. Yes, I am reminded daily when I check in with MFP family here how glad I am that I have all of you to discuss everything fitness/nutrition/anx about extra lb's or whatever it is. I know my friend is glad to have me to talk to because she says nobody else understands/wants to talk to her about food/fitness.
Erika: Yahoo on Body Beast! Good on ya and I can't wait to hear about it. Nice job with S&H this a.m. along with The Firm Lower Body. I meant to comment yesterday, that's great you are running sprints as well. I'm sure it will do great things for your legs/body! It's all good on the BootCamp. I wasn't too disappointed, I guess they can't all be heart pounding, get me some water and air type workouts!
Laurel: Where's the little symbol for a huge gasp I'm so sorry, you must be frightened, thankful and sad all in one. I'm glad you were evacuated in time of course and had to chuckle that you were able to get all the DVDs with you! That would definitely be a necessity that I would grab when given the time to evacuate. That's excellent. Please keep us posted. Praying for that rain to come your way very soon.
Talk to you all tomorrow ladies ~

Morning Ladies,
Got in the Skogg Roots Level 1 workout last night, it is very basic. I'm still going to stick with the rotation, because I want to make sure that I'm doing the moves right. So far I feel like I'm getting the hang of it, only had a few bangs on the wrist. Level 1 is beginner, so it isn't all that cardio intense, but I'm still a beginner at these so will stick with it. Having a hard time with the exchange from one had to the other.
This morning was Insanity Cardio Recovery, and 10lb Slimdown Recovery Yoga. Want to get in a longer yoga session after work.
Erika, I looked at some of the Beast information on VF last night, does look interesting. Let us know how those workouts go. The one drawback for me are the pull-ups. Way to work those legs yesterday, sounds like you and Michelle decided to torture them.
Tami, I'm planning on adding in a Weider workout once a week during this Insanity rotation. Just plan on doing each Insanity workout once during the week, and then do other workouts for the remainder. Will extend the 30 days I think. Hope you had a good time at the BBQ!
Have a great day!

Good Morning!!
This morning was another Slow and Heavy workout--back! Followed it up with TF Hiit 20. I was actually surprised how light Cathe was going on the back exercise. I normally am just under her or at her same weight, but I was pushing more than her this morning with ease...kinda weird, but I'll take it!
Tami--I hope the BBQ was great...I'm sure it was with the beautiful weather and all!!! Great workouts! I'm so behind on Weider, I have only done #1. I need to fit those in to my rotation. I am trying to get in cardio every day, so Weider isn't exactly fitting into that mix very well, as I want to lift weights, vs bodyweight exercises. Are the other Weider weeks more cardio based than week 1 was?
Laurie--I'm glad to hear the KB workout went well. I think if you have the patience to really learn the moves, you'll do great. I just gave up too quickly! I am not a fan of pull ups either, but I plan to do modified pullups for Body Beast. I'm actually going to pull my hubby's weight bench out of our storage room and use that with the olympic bar and just pull myself up that way (kinda like using Cathe's tower). I think that will work. I don't think I will ever come to a point where I enjoy pull ups...they just don't feel comfortable on my arms/shoulders.
Laurel and Michelle-I hope you are doing well!

Hi Ladies. All is well here. We remain evacuated, but while here was some fire on the Academy no structures have been lost so far. After spending most of yesterday in shock, I decided to snap myself out of it with a good workout today. I did TF 45EZ followed by STS Disk 18/Back and Biceps. My BIL has a decent set of weights which allowed me to do that workout. Sadly, his weights weren't quite heavy enough for mw but I just really pushed it in the back-off sets. It felt so good to workout today, and I feel much more like me today. I guess this is why I ended up grabbing my workout DVDs instead of something else when we evacuated. They make my life seem 'normal'.
Erika, I am anxious to hear about this Beast system. Keep us posted on how it is. Great job with S&H.
Laurie, great job with this rotation. I think you are approaching in perfectly with making sure you have the moves down first.
Tami, great job with the workouts. I am so glad your friend hasnyou to talk to. Like you, it means so much to me to have you all here to share my ups and downs.....workouts and not workouts....with.
It is supposed to be 100 degrees again today but with light winds in the Colorado Springs area. They are hoping to make good progress on the fires. Keep your fingers crossed they can do that because they are worried about tomorrow. No chance of rain until next week at the earliest, but if the winds stay calm, that is a great step.
Hopefully I will be able to check in tomorrow. Take care!

Morning Ladies,
Yesterday was an early optometry appointment and with the dilated eyes, visibility was very limited for several hours afterwards. My youngest went with me and on the way back was actually navigating my moves..sweet thing all I could here was "yes your good, nice turn, okay you can go," She is absolutely amazing Later in the evening I did do a Slm Series dvd, Tone It up which was lunge intensive and definitely hit those inner thighs also. Sadly this morning I woke up without any DOMS As I packed up my dvds this week I'm limited in cardio but KB with Jessica combined with The Bar Method LB this morning.
Laurel- I saw on the internet and I really wanted to call you and check in, it was very scary seeing the footage and how much it had doubled in size. Goodness, I'm happy to hear that you were evacuated and hope that not too much is lost. My heart goes out to the entire region
Laurie- Glad to hear the measurements are in and that you are taking your time as KB definitely requires different muscles and can definitely ache in places during the learning curve
Tami- Your'e Welcome..you work too hard everyday to even rely on the scale as a true indicator of your fitness level. Any person that can do what you daily is impressive!
Erika- Geesh on the legs..holy smokes The bar method has been torturing me not to mention P57 its amazing how much it is kicking my butt after taking time off of Barre exercises. Literally my leg muscles are jerking where I think the standing leg will collapse Glad to see that you using a new exciting rotation as I know that we tend to require variety to keep it interesting
Ok ladies off to clean the kitchen, cook some dog food and entertain the little one today.

Hi Ladies ~ This a.m. was S90 Legs and Weider #5 …. Last night's BBQ was really nice. She has a beautiful home with views of the river on a huge deck. It was potluck style and she BBQd the meats for us. It was a nice change to just hang out with the people you work with daily & just be relaxed, not in the drama of it all. Tonight I get my hair prettied up and then tomorrow I will be able to hit the Spinning class after work!
Laurie: Good that you are learning the proper form on the KB's ….. I'm sure it's a little boring for now, but will be good for your future workouts. Nice job on Insanity this a.m. along with a little Yoga, I bet it was a nice combo.
Erika: Nice combo for you today! The big smiley face must mean you really liked another one of her S&H workouts! That's great. Yes, the BBQ was great and the weather couldn't have been any better. Definitely move to another Weider from #1 and you will feel a little bit more cardio. None of them are overly cardio intensive by any means but the intensity does increase by each one and then the last one is a combo of moves & lots of fun.
Laurel: So glad to hear from you that you are safe & sound … that's great news that the winds have died down, hope that continues to stay that way. I bet the workouts felt definitely like something "normal" for your day after everything you have been going through/feeling the last few days. Great job getting in your workout! That's pretty funny your BIL's weights were too light. Shades of your workout in Korea when all the men were staring at you lifting the heavy's! Keep us posted and keep taking care of yourself.
Michelle: That is a sweet image of your little girl being your seeing eye dog in the navigation process! Sounds like you got in a nice workout … sorry no DOMs. That's funny you were disappointed. Maybe all that lower body/barre "torture" work it's doing its job so those lunges didn't hurt too much! Does Mr C like his homemade food? Doing well with it?
Talk to you all tomorrow!

Good Morning Ladies...TGIF!!!
This morning's workout was S&H biceps...wow, that one was a good one!! I followed that up with Asylum's Overtime. That was about all I could handle today!
Tami-The BBQ sounds fabulous. We do something similar at our VP's house each summer, although the timing has always been off, so I haven't been able to attend (it's on a Friday afternoon). I hope you had a nice relaxing time getting your hair prettied too! Yes, LOVING Slow and Heavy. I have another full week of it in 2 weeks, and next week was to be Muscle Max again, but I think I might do a S90/Weider combo week!
Michelle--Sounds like a scary drive home! One can never judge how bad the eyes will be after dilation. I've had times where I'm just fine and others where I'm not. Glad your DD was so helpful in getting you home safely! Isn't it funny that we get upset when we don't have DOMS, esp. when those legs are shaking like crazy?!? Barre always made me have DOMS...it gets in there good, but I just struggled so much with form and found I was always straining my back. I'm glad you aren't having that problem, as I know how much you love your barre workouts!!
Laurel--I'm glad you had a chance to check-in, and based on this morning's report, things are looking better. Lots of homes lost, and some people they are still trying to find that were reported missing, but the weather seems to be cooperating a bit more so those firefighters can get the fire under control. Still praying that no more homes/lives are lost, and you get to go back to your home very soon.
Have a great weekend! We're going to be in the 90's for at least another week, so I think I'll be submerging myself in the boys' kiddie pool this weekend!

Morning Ladies,
Well plans changed last night when I got home my oldest dd was there. We moved her bed into her new apartment. She now has a place off campus, and a new job. Things are moving fast for her. So now I have an almost empty room in the house. She still left us with a bit of a mess. This morning after fussing around with my HRM , I got in Pure Cardio. Dang did that one feel good, and I didn't go at that crazy pace. Still had to take a little break during the mountain climbers, that one is my nemisis. He should have put that one toward the beginning of the workout instead of the end. I'm going to do Skogg Roots Level 1 after work, and maybe..... Cardio Abs. Dress rehearsal is on Sunday, so that will be a long day.
Called my Mom yesterday, and my Uncle that has liver cancer probably will not make it through the weekend. Apparently he has stated that anyone trying to visit this weekend will miss him. I'm very glad that his suffering is almost done, and he will be in a better place. Sorry about that, but it has been on my mind for a couple of days.
msperkey3, Congrats on finding Cathe. Well my very favorite strength workouts of Cathe's are the STS series, and yes I have seen these as the Deal of the Day a couple of times now. So they will probably be on sale again in the future. Other strength DVD's that are favorites 4 Day Split and Pure Strength. For total body I really love Muscle Max. The only thing I don't like about the Gym Style workouts, was in the Leg workout. I just don't enjoy the floorwork in that workout. Don't know why.
Erika, WTG on the Biceps! One of my favorite parts to work. LOL about the kiddie pool! That is a great way to get some relief from the heat. This morning was a bit cooler, but I really had to get outside and water some plants. They where really looking bad. Enjoy your weekend, and keep cool.
Tami, Glad you had an enjoyable evening, and of course getting pampered after work last night. Yes the two workouts did compliment eachother well. Chris Freytag is on par with Bob Harper as far as yoga. In only 22 min. she got me sweating. I think that her 20 min. workout is tougher than her 40 min. yoga workout.
Michelle, Glad that you dd was good at navigating for you, I have had to drive home with that vision problem once. All that leg work and no DOMS! Sorry to hear about that. Sounds like they are getting stronger though.
Laurel, Good news so far, glad to hear about the Academy has not suffered. I love how you get yourself out of the shock! Exercise is the best medicine for sure! WTG on making those weights work for you. Will be thinking of your area this weekend, and praying for some relief.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Afternnoon Ladies,
Last night I stayed up late until 1:30am with the girls as the eldest does not have camp on Fridays. I woke up this morning feeling good as I tend to do better on 5-6 hours of sleep most nights, so I opted to start off with Yoga exercises to wake my body up and lengthen my back as morning pain can last all day if I ignore the pain too much I have started to realize and accept that my energy surges are now occurring between 1:00pm and 2, so yesterday I felt like a dancey type KB workout and grabbed an oldie TurboJam Kick, Punch & Jam for a fun sweatfest Today the girls have called a lazy day so I will try to not feel guilty about doing something outside the home and enjoy my book Tomorrow will be spent at the pool with dad so I will make it up next week . Sometimes I feel guilty trying to get my workout done early when my body is opposed to it versus the luxury of scheduling it later when the energy surges. Not sure yet if I will take my rest day today or enjoy another Slim Series dvd this afternoon.
Laurie- Glad that you released that pain into the air instead of keeping those thoughts to yourself. I pray for an easy transition as he seeks his peace and that his family's strength allows him to leave at his choosing. My prayers to you and your family
Erika- Interestingly enough Barre seems to help with my lower back Lordosis and Callanetics creator Callan actually suffered with debilitating backpain and used these exercises to alleviate her pain when she was first trained using Lotte Berk's methods. I have noticed this week that Callan, Core Fusion and Bar Method relies on the tuck to lengthen the back while performing exercises whereas P57 does not emphasize as much to me. As a pear you know how hard it is to hit the LB and as much as I loved the weights, I can see the difference within weeks with Barre vs heavy weights on my lower body
Laurel- Glad to hear that things are calming down, were they able to save your house?
Tami- The BBQ sounds like it was fun and relaxing evening and the views sound amazing. Hmnn the thought of a grilled steak sounds yummy for dinner tonight Mr. Capone has been enjoying his food as I have been using the tenderloins from the freezer which is helping to empty the extra freezer of all excess meat. I tend to toss in veggies such as broccoli, carrots, green beans in the mix and the funny part was when hubby and the girls asked, "what smells so good mom, what did you cook for dinner?" So far the itching has been reduced significantly but then he goes outside and sunbathes on the patio several times a day
Ok off to indulge in some coffee as there is only soo much tea that I can truly enjoy before my need for coffee surges
TGIF, Have a great weekend!

Hey Ladies! This will be a very quick check-in for me, but I wanted you all to know they lifted the evacuation order for our house....and I am back home again. Everything is fine. There is still quite a bit of fire around, and I feel like I'm in a war zone because there are helicopters everywhere in the sky. But I find that comforting since I can still see the active fire from the house. So rock on helicopters and do what you need to do!! Needless to say, both DH and I are exhausted. He is going to take me out to dinner tonight as a way of saying 'What a week!'. And, boy, has it been one.
Because I knew I was coming back down to Colorado Springs late last night, I only got a short workout in today.....TF 45. I'm glad I did something. Tomorrow I'll try to do a total body strength workout, but I might opt for sleeping in instead.
Keep your fingers crossed that the weather continues to cooperate and they get a handle on these fires over the weekend. It breaks my heart that 346 homes were lost (and one person....so far). This is the most destructive fire ever in Colorado. But it looks like this community is going to do everything to rally around those who have lost so much, and that makes me happy that I live in such a place.
Laurie, I am so sorry to hear about your uncle. I will be praying for him and your entire family.
msperkey3, I echo what Laurie has said about Cathe's strength DVDs. Without a question, STS is my absolute favorite. It does more for my body than any other program on the market. I think Cathe's best Total Body strength training DVD is STS Total Body. Like Laurie, I think 4 Day Split also contains some of Cathe's best strength training, and that series has a ton of premixes which make it very versatile. Gym Styles are good as well. For the lower body, both Butts and Guts and Lower Body Blast are fun and hit every muscle in that part of the body. If you are looking for a good endurance based total body workout, I highly recommend High Reps. In other words, there are few Cathe strength training DVDs I don't like (Push/Pull and Supersets, and the Trii-set series with her new Low Impact Series come to mind) so you can't really go wrong with Cathe. Please ask if you have more specific questions about some workouts because I own all of Cathe's DVDs.
Erika, what did you think of Overtime. I find that 12 minutes to be absolutely brutal!! I've never done it on its own though. Glad you are still enjoying S&H.
Tami, glad you enjoyed the BBQ. Best the hair appt felt good!
Michelle, great job with the workouts!
Enjoy the weekend.

Morning Ladies,
Saturday I did Weider X-Factor ST Week 1, and Roots Level 1 (didn't do this one on Friday evening). This morning, while hitting the snooze button, I decided that I would do my Friday workout this morning. My feet and legs where really sore from walking and standing all day long during dress rehearsal. So my workouts where Weider X-Factor ST Week 2, and 30MTF Kickboxing Punch Mix. I didn't think that my feet could handle the football shuffle move, my feet hurt even when I haven't spent the previous day on my feet. I think it was a very good decision to switch up the workouts.
Speaking of dress rehearsal, what a hot day! I was drained at the end of the day from the heat and of course putting couch material on my body. No breeze, until the afternoon.
How many of you have been watching the US Olympic Trials. DD and I watch it whenever it is on, sure do love the track & field. My dd is impressed at how fast those 200's are run.
I'm only working two days this week, so I'm looking forward having three days off.
Michelle, I like that the girls decided that you all needed a rest day. My dd and I should do that, need to get out of the AC more often. I know that our dog would love for us to be outside, so she can lay there and watch everything going on in the neighborhood. WTG getting your back loose with the yoga.
Laurel, Can't even imagine what you are seeing with those fires. I applaud the fact that you could get in a workout, I would have been opting for nothing. Sometimes I can be so lazy. Hope that the fires where contained, and the area can get back to normal (with some rain of couse). I did have one question for you on Asylum, are there other options for pull-ups? I saw a breakdown of the workouts, and I don't know that I can handle pull-ups. They top my list of least favorite exercise.
Have a great day everyone!

Hello, Nick
I wanted you to create a complete tutorial which has paint splashing and some cool shit… there was a tutorial by leah but she hasnt posted anything since 7 months and I tried googling and youtubin but couldnt find a tutorial which shows how to do paint splash basically that plastic kind of paint….
Hope You Can Create….
0-0— I could not send the email because of Hotmail being down,,, but please read this… I am in need of something similar its for my college project…
Realflow Liquid..
then just put some material on it in whatever 3d app you are using…
google/youtube whatever RealFlow!
That's your answer… that's all
hope you get it now
forgot to mention I am talkiing about realflow and Cinema 4D.
Nice CS tutorial – I watch these and after everyone I say" oooh , thats what all those settings do…"
Such a useful tutorial! I downloaded CStools a month ago or so, but completely ignored the easycam treats! Instead, i've been fumbling around with the normal cam(s). That'll show me! Thanks for the tut Nick!
Hello Nick,
I just completed my first project using CSTools for all the camera work. The advert (For Toyo Tires) uses Easy Cam (Opening shot) DocuCam as well as ActionCam (the distant overview shot – have you given that a go?) would love to hear your comments and thoughts.
Great work Matt, real slick! Well played.
Hi Nick and everybody!
I have just got my new homepage up and running this Friday, and today i posted my first tutorial, where we talk abit about Chromatic Aberration, and how to create this "effect" in After Effects without any Plugins, It is a very handy and nice-to-know technique
Check it out! And remember to post critics or cheers in the Comments section for me to improve on future tutorials maybe even new tutorial ideas?
note: there is not alot of content on the site yet, just wanted to promote the tutorial for you guys, some might like it
And btw Nick, please do remove this comment if i violating some "comment" rules
Bondoman @ Bondomotion.com
No Fair you cheated(prerecorded), Hope the Sking is SWEET!
When using MoCam I've noticed that Cinema4D cannot produce fields correctly when rendering. I believe this is because the camera motion is generated via xpresso and isn't plugged into cinema4Ds world coordinates. This problem should also affect motion blur. Has anyone experienced these problems using the other Camera tools? Are there any known workarounds for this?
The fix for this can be found here:
Chris goes through the process of baking the camera animation.
The problem is caused because the camera animation is created procedurally therefore C4D doesn't see the camera movement.
I think this is something worth mentioning in the tutorials as I believe this effects motion blur as well. It could easily trip someone up at the later stages of a project.
I think these camera tools are excellent, and I think Chris is going above and beyond the call of duty supporting these tools through his blog.
Nick, thanks for all these tuts. You have a great way of explaining things.
CS Action cam rules!
I'd love to see you do a tutorial on Path Deformer Lite, I still don't understand the concept of the Axis' in that program.
Thanks again
I think the "PosRot Bias" on the bottom section of options let's you choose which has more influence; position or rotation. The further you change the bias in one direction, the more of the respective transformation property you will inherit.
Greetings Nick!
I have been watching your tuts for a long time now and I have to ask. Over your left shoulder lies a design on the wall that is really interesting. What is the background story behind the design. I am guessing this is some of your personal work. An explanation for your inspiration would be appreciated.
The Shammon
Thanks so much for all the tutorials Saw you at SXSW but didn't get to go to any of your discussions damnit!
Thanks, your C4D tutorials are great.
I'm relatively new to this, and have been trying to figure out how to get a smooth, circular camera movement. Like a camera that tracks along the outside of a record laying flat, for example.
Is that possible with EasyCam, or do I need to keyframe? Stumped on this one…
He Mike,
I think you will have to put multiple easycams on your stage, and render different parts of your animation out and put it in After Effects together. I think easycam would be even more usefull if I could put several parts together.
For some reason which is beyond me the easycam_CAM will not display the animation between the two cameras. I've followed all the instructions on how to setup the S and E cams but nothing seems to be working. Any ideas here? I feel like I'm missing a step but I can't figure out what that is as there aren't that many to begin with :s.
Thanks for any help with this, peeps!
Well figured it out after some digging. For whatever reason the tools won't work using the icon/olx method but if I merge them into the scene they work fine. Just a heads up to those users out there having trouble getting things to work: MERGE CS TOOL OF CHOICE INTO SCENE!
Hi Nick, is there a way to do the Camera 'DRIFT' with CS Tools CAM? by that I mean, after at the end of the cam move,the cam isn't just completely stop, but still doing a slow move, drags. This is very useful to have a time at the end either to give some time for the talking head or revealing the logo. Any comment would be be help!thx!
Albert, I found I needed to do the same thing and the solution for me was this:
1) Create a new camera and set a keyframe where the EasyCam movement stops.
2) Create a new 'drift' camera movement – mine sort of dollies forward and around the focal point – and keyframe that
3) Create a Stage Object (same drop down that the cameras in) and drag the EasyCam_CAM into the Object>Camera spot in Object Properties in the Stage object, then keyframe at the frame before the EasyCam animation ends.
4) Advance one frame and drag the second camera into the Stage object and keyframe that again.
5) Hit play and enjoy!
Let me know if you have problems, hope I'm not too late
Could you please elaborate on your instructions? I followed them but I'm not getting the desired result…
When using easy cam, how do you control the point of interest? I am starting inside a lightbulb on the filiment and traveling outside the bulb with a rotation, but bulb goes off frame with camera move.
Is it possible to add in a sort of bezier curve "s" path by keyframing elements of this?
thanks nick… it awesome
Can you use easycam with a stage object, and so camera switches?
Ah… I did not set the frame start on the second camera!
I tried using easycam but couldn't get results.
On my Imac the camera movements are not rendered at all
and on pc the End camera is locked! I can't get to move, pan, tilt or… it at all
can you help?
Make sure the EasyCam2_CAM (Under the 'SubParts' null) is selected and active as the render cam. If you have set the two cameras (S for Start and E for End) you should see the EasyCam2_CAM moving between each one.
And for the PC side, maybe you have checked 'Locke E to S' (in the EasyCam2 User Data)?
Make sure that is unchecked before setting the EasyCam2_E camera.
Hey Nick,
I can't seem to download the CS Tools from sugarhousefilms. Is there an alternative link for this?
Thanks in advance!
never mind, got it working. thanks for the great tuts, nick!
Hay Nick
Please where can i find auto cam which " Chris Smith " made his presentation about in NAB 2012
It looks great plugin .
Thank u for ur all grate tutorials .
Hi Nick, if I set my first waypoint1 (2 and 3) and after that I switch to MoCam, there are two diferent Views. How can I syc those views? Thanks for help.
How to increase unit threshold of the Frame Start for e.g. I wanna go pass 1000 units?
Any luck on this? I cant seem to work out how to get past 1000 frame start either yet the camera works just fine running through it.
great tutorial!
Quite strange- I noticed I was watching it at the same time it was made – wed, starting at 17:16..
Great Scott! Man you're the bestest, I've watched this three times trying to get my options up (new C4D R14 user) and well if I do what you do and stop taking my eyes of your tut everything works. Thank you for making perfect tutorials (hate the "oh that's my dog in the background" tuts). It's all about adjusting, adjusting, adjusting parameters until it's all right.
You're already doing a great job with the website and the blog. I love the content here and I'm always glad to come back and read some toughts on photography – be it gear, shooting or something else, loved the recent video for Samsung. I love that it isn't a gear review site. I'd suggest you keep doing what you are and adding some odd piece of gear you found interesting and think people don't know enough about or don't use it enough or in the right way.
If someone wants a review there are already sites that do them and are doing only that. This site isn't that and it should never be.It's not like it's hard to find a review today for anything.

There's nothing like getting a new car, but it's even cooler if you were able to help design and build that car. A local company is making that happen.
Jay Rogers' Wareham-based Local Motors is putting the finishing touches on its first prototype car, the Rally Fighter. It's a southwest desert racer that has stealth-like lines. It's like a 1968 Camaro on steroids, with a 3.0 liter BMW engine, stuffed with 265 horses. ( see the car in action below)
"We grew this from a piece of paper, a concept that wasn't ours. It was from a community that said this car in this segment would be really cool if you could engineer it," said Rogers.
Rogers is all about making it work. The Marine Corps Commander and Harvard Business School grad comes from good stock. His grandfather owned the Indian Motorcycle Company in the 1940s.
"There were many people already that said, 'You'll never get the car done. You'll never let it meet the design goals that are out there," Rogers said.
Local Motors is flooded with thousands of designs from all walks of life.
Those designs are paired down and shaped by their Local Motors computer community, which is how the Rally Fighter was hatched. A 15-month group effort designed by a Korean College Student who got his idea from the P-15 Mustang, a World War II fighter plane.
"We have on the site right now, 50,000 designs all being shown, shared, some desired to be built. And what we look for is the customers and the people that design them to come in and say, I want that car," Rogers said.
And here's the best part: Each owner will actually spend two long weekends helping to build their own car.
"You'll plum the brake lines, you'll burp the radiator, you'll put the engine trainee in, you'll put the body down on the car, you'll hang the doors, you'll put the glass in. You will build the car," said Rogers.
Eventually, Rogers hopes to open a network of 35 micro factories across the country developing 30 different regional models.
Rogers only advertises on YouTube , Facebook and Twitter , and already has orders for 46 Rally Fighter cars at $50,000 a piece.
And the original isn't even finished yet.
Local Motors hopes to restore some of the passion in American-made automobiles. He unveiled the Rally Fighter in Baja, Calif., this past November, and got it revved up at 95 miles per hour in the sand.
Rogers doesn't want to compete with Detroit. For him, it's not about volume, but creating an experience and sharing it along the way. And with 14 million new cars sold last year, he figures Local Motors will find its niche.

Available Cap Space
Someone else shared this link in a previous post before free agency began, and they have updated the cap number. I did some checking around on other sites as well, and this seems to be a fairly accurate assessment of the cap space we currently have left. I don't think it's a big deal that we have so little money left, Buddy and the front office will make cuts as needed when and if we sign new players, including draftees.

I've been about as lucky and unlucky in general as anyone, but when it comes to attending baseball games I've got to thank the stars. On the one hand, I attended Al Leiter's 1-0 loss against the Braves back in 1999. At the start of that game, there was as much electricity at Shea as I've ever seen, but oh how it faded, right down to the 1 hour drive from my parking spot to the stadium exit. That was unlucky.
A few years before that I came across some Yankee tickets. I am a Met fan through and through, but I love baseball, and wouldn't pass up free tickets to almost any MLB game, much less the Skanks, and a visit to that legendary ballpark in the Bronx. I grabbed a Yankee fan friend (not hard to find) and had to convince HIM to stay the full 9 as Doc Gooden tossed a no-hitter against the Mariners. As a Met fan, this was better than an ordinary no-hitter, because I love Doc. This was a great experience. Lucky.
I live in Jersey now, and a trip to Citifield is an excursion ($25 in tolls, $20 to park). One of my lotto dreams is to attend every game, home and away, and as soon as I hit lotto...it's a lot for me to get to more than two games these days with young kids (girls that I can barely get to watch baseball), and time and whatever. But my brother-in-law lives in Queens, and needed us to collect Mugsy, an 11 year old English bull dog, because he was going to Arizona for an extended stay. If we have to drive to Queens to get the dog, then we are stopping at Citi, I told my wife, and she agreed.
I hooked up with the first roaming ticket agent I saw, and haggled down to a reasonable number for four seats, sec 310, row 9 seats 12-15. (1st base side, edge of the infield) There were clouds threatening and I liked the idea of being under the overhang, so we were safe if it rained. I was also quite proud of the Mrs. for staring down the roaming ticket agent, telling him we would be looking for him if we were turned away the the gate.
We got there, gathered some food and spent the first inning out in right field on the picnic tables near the international farmer's market or whatever it is. It was freezing, cold wind that came out of nowhere, but much warmer at our seats, which we got to by the 2nd inning.
I familiarized myself with my surroundings. In the row behind us were a couple of St. Louis Cardinal fans, and a guy with a Red Sox hat, to whom I offered my condolences as they showed the Buckner play. It still has to be rough for him, even though they have 2 rings since.
So through four it's great, but not anything to get worked up about. After the fifth, I look to the guys sitting to my left, and say, "Nobody say it!" They nod.
Wife and kids keep themselves amused with the iphone, taking pics, etc. (I thought I was just the 1st person to think of the 'scorecard app' but, duh, it's there already) They get ice cream in the Mets helmets. The Mets enjoy a lead, and oh, by the way the Cards don't have a hit yet. Getting interesting.
Beltran's shot looked like it could easily be foul with the naked eye, so when Oquendo started arguing, and then Matheny, I was screaming for an ejection. Then the replay...well maybe it was a bad camera angle. They have monitors all over now so as they showed the replay the Cardinals fan behind me is going, "See that? That's a hit!" Ump calls keep it like life. It builds character, and I'll leave it at that.
I think I was most afraid when Yadier Molina came to bat in the 7th. The Cardinals fan behind me is poo-pooing the moment because of some chalk that maybe was kicked up when the ball landed foul the inning before, and now the diminutive Met killer is lining up the bugs with his pointy shoe, ready to stomp the hearts again. Off the bat I think, 'ok, Mets are winning, it's still a great performance.' This had double or even homerun written all over it. Very late in the ball's flight I realize Baxter has a shot at this, and even then I'm thinking, 'he's no Jason Bay, certainly no Endy...' But what a moment! The chants of "MI-IKE BAXTER" to the beat of the 'let's go rangers' chant, gave me chills, because they got louder and louder as he approached the dug out holding that shoulder still, and I know he heard them. This is as good as it gets, guys leaving it out there for a teammate. Now I am full on believing in Miracle Moments--Met Miracle Moments.
When Johan came to bat in the 7th, I get up for the standing ovation, and I notice there is like one other person standing. I look at him in disbelief. Is anyone even aware of what is happening here? At this point I notice my wife is looking at me like I am the weird one, and I realize that she has no clue either. I remember swearing never to take her to a game again. I hate superstitions and superstitious people but still I try to drop hints because I just can't bring myself to say it. Later I point to the monitor showing Johan sitting all alone in the dugout. "Why, what did he do?" she keeps asking me. I point to the scoreboard, but nothing registers.
She did catch on by the ninth. I start getting texts from friends that don't know how lucky I am, that I'm there! Even though the place was barely half full, the electriciti has ramped up. A few running catches and one in-betweener were the only drama. The excitement of that ninth inning was in a word awesome. I remember noticing the nut job in the Carter jersey being pounced on by security. Probably worth it on some level.
The 1/2 hour it took to get out of the parking lot was not painful, because I got to listen to the replays of Howie and Steve. I'm sorry to be late with this, but this moment has not faded, even if the Met hot streak has. This one is in the history books, and lucky me, going to the game that night on a whim, I got to
see feel it.
PS I have an unspectacular picture from my seat that I'd like to post, but couldn't figure it out (URL???). There is also a good pic of Mugsy.

What's love got to do with it?
Everywhere I look these past few weeks, there are Valentine's Day reminders to celebrate love. Shop windows and stores display red roses, candy, cards, and other trinkets to remind us that we must pay attention to the ones we love. These are Hallmark moments that prompt lovers to do something meaningful to show each other that they are loved. It's nice to give and to receive these tokens and gestures of love. Love is a beautiful and powerful thing. If you let it, love will be your light in the darkness-the truth that allays doubt.
According to licensed psychologist Dr. Rachel Needle, an associate professor and coordinator of Clinical Experiences at South University, West Palm Beach, "Falling in love is associated with increased energy, narrowing of mental focus, sometimes sweaty palms, light-headedness, racing heart, and a lot of positive feelings. Specific chemical such as oxytocin, phenethylamine, and dopamine play a role in human experiences and behaviors that are associated with love. They function similar to amphetamine, making us alert, excited, and wanting to bond."

As minister of justice, my message to all the members of the NABPP-PC is long live the Panther! Empower yourselves: Don't fear freedom. To clear our minds, I propose that we eat one meal a day throughout the month of August – and fast completely on Aug. 7 in honor of Jonathan Jackson, again on Aug. 21 in honor of George Jackson and again on Aug. 31 in honor of Hasan Shakur and all other true revolutionary comrades who have fallen in the struggle.

Reaching at least 6,600 prisoners across 13 prisons, this massive and inspiring act of solidarity and people power across prison-manufactured and exacerbated racial and geographic lines has dumb-founded the CDCR (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation).
July 19, 2011
At least 400 prisoners at Pelican Bay continue to refuse food and thousands more around the state are striking in solidarity, making it the largest hunger strike in the history of the embattled California prison system. "We are urging our state representatives and Gov. Brown to step in and force the CDCR to recognize the prisoners' demands," says Manuel La Fontaine.

Kevin Cooper has been locked down on death row in San Quentin for the past 26 years. He was convicted of the 1983 murder of the Ryen family, although no reliable evidence showed him to be guilty. On the contrary, the case has overwhelming evidence suggesting that he is in fact an innocent man.

It is prisoners' identification with George Jackson that makes him symbolically powerful and very much alive. And for this, he must be vilified and punished, over and over again – suppressed and chased away from anyone who dares consume his words.

Prisoners in at least six Georgia prisons went on strike Dec. 9. On Friday, Dec. 17, a strong, positive, fiercely determined and highly spirited march and two rallies took place in downtown Oakland despite the driving rain in support of those prisoners, whose strike has become the largest in U.S. history.

Black August is a month of great significance for Africans throughout the Diaspora, but particularly here in the U.S. where it originated. "August," as Mumia Abu-Jamal noted, "is a month of meaning, of repression and radical resistance, of injustice and divine justice; of repression and righteous rebellion; of individual and collective efforts to free the slaves and break the chains that bind us."

Some shows stay on the air for so long, there's seemingly no end in sight (Grey's Anatomy, I'm looking at you), and others, like United States of Tara, leave us far too soon. The Showtime dramedy focused on a woman with dissociative identity disorder (what you may know as multiple personality disorder) and how she and her family deal with her many alters. And after three seasons on the air, it was canceled.
Mental illness isn't something usually depicted on television in a realistic, humanizing way, if it's even depicted at all. But United States of Tara gave the television world a show that was all about mental illness and all about, in a way, normalizing mental illness. Tara's a mom and a wife and a sister and a student and an occasionally working woman. She's functioning. It just so happens that when she gets overwhelmed, she morphs into one of her alters (ranging from a male troublemaker to a wannabe Stepford Wife). To us viewers who may not have experience with dissociative identity disorder, we may be surprised each time it happens. How did this mom just turn into a crop-top-wearing teen? But to Tara's family, it's just a part of Tara. They've figured out what to do when each alter comes out, and even have individual relationships with them, going as far as to express joy when Alice, the tidy one, comes back or when T, the teenager, appears. It's a giant lesson in acceptance and an even bigger lesson in understanding — both areas we could all use a little help in. READ FULL STORY

In Radiator Springs, breakfast at Miss Flo's is served by the gallon. And though the menu doesn't vary much, the petrol-loving patrons show up again and again to get their fill. Modeled after the pumps at the V8 Café, this mini filling station is just the prop for fueling up your child's hometown motor fleet.
You'll need:
- Empty tea bag box (approximately 5 inches tall and 3 inches wide)
- Craft paper, white and two shades of blue
- Scissors
- Glue sealer that dries clear (such as Mod Podge)
- Small foam brush for applying the glue
- Template for Toy Gas Pump
- Disposable foil container or aluminum foil
- Small stick-on letters or permanent marker*
- Glue dots
- Several buttons
- Bendable plastic drinking straw
- 12-inch length of thin cord or string
- Small binder clip
1. Cover the tea bag box with the lighter shade of blue paper, using glue sealer to stick the paper in place and then to coat the entire surface. Let the glue dry (it doesn't take long).
2. Print the template and use it to cut out the shapes as specified on the individual pieces.
3. Assemble the shapes for the face of the gas pump by first centering and gluing the lighter blue rectangle atop the darker one.
4. Next, glue the white sale panel atop the foil trim panel. Use stick-on letters or a permanent marker to spell the word Gas on the panel. You can also add numbers to represent the gallons of gas being pumped.
5. Glue the completed panel to the upper portion of the pump face.
6. Glue the pump face to the front of the covered tea bag box and seal it with a coat of glue.
7. When the glue is dry, finish decorating the pump face with additional strips of foil trim and buttons (attached with glue dots).
8. For a gas hose and nozzle, cut a 3-inch length from the bendable end of the drinking straw. Then knot one end of the cord and thread the other end through the straw, pulling gently so that the knot lodges inside the straw.
9. Use glue dots to attach the loose cord end to the lower side of the gas pump, and then cover the end with a button.
10. Attach a binder clip to the upper side of the gas pump, as shown, and slip the straw nozzle through the loops of the wire arms.

A Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative on Qubit Enabled Imaging, Sensing & Metrology
Metrology and quantum information science have emerged as complementary areas of research. Ideas from quantum information theory, such as entangled states, have been proposed to improve the sensitivity of measurement devices, while new sensing strategies and tools have been devised to meet the needs of quantum information processing. With support from the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program, we will apply the principles of quantum information science to the development of novel sensors with sensitivities beyond the standard quantum limit. The goal of our multidisciplinary team is to advance the theory of multi-qubit enhanced metrology and implement these theoretical ideas into a broad range of physical implementations and practical applications.

A Different Perspective - August 28
by Berni Dymet
Proverbs 18:24 Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin.
Not too long ago, here at Christianityworks we had an event to launch my latest book - Unlocking the Power of Prayer. And look, it was great. So many people turned up, and it was one of those nights when, well God just blessed it and everything went so well.
By the time we got out of there it was about quarter to nine in the evening. And a few close friends had organised to catch up for coffee and cake at a nearby café.
I was pretty tired, but they'd arranged this for us, so Jacqui and I went and joined them. And it turned out that - this was the best part of the night. The big event was great.
But sharing with these dear friends, just chatting over a coffee and cake - it made me realise what an incredible blessing from God these other two couples were.
Friends are a blessing. How easy it is in this busy world of ours just to rush around…and not make time for one another.

Marvin Dewayne Lyles, 35, pleaded guilty before Walker County Circuit Judge Hoyt Elliott to the shooting death of Kirk Johnson, which happened on July 17, 2004 in the middle of Rose Street in Oakman.
Walker County District Attorney Bill Adair said he and his staff were preparing late Thursday afternoon for Lyles' trial, which was set to begin Monday, when they were notified Lyles was interested in accepting a plea deal.
"We heard the defendant and his mother wanted to talk, and we had a hearing in Judge Elliott's courtroom," Adair said. "He admitted to the murder and changed his plea from not guilty to guilty."
Adair said when the shooting occurred in 2004 that investigators from the Walker County Sheriff's Office and the Walker County District Attorney's Office arrived on the scene shortly after the incident. Adair said eye witnesses told police the two men were arguing in the middle of the street when Lyles shot Johnson in the head at close range. According to witness statements in the police report, the men were arguing over a beer.
"It was alleged to have been over a beer," Adair said. "We think there were some other arguments or talking between the two men before this incident, but the witnesses on the scene said this happened over a beer. Kirk and some of his friends were in the yard, having a party, when Lyles came over and helped himself to a beer. Kirk was upset that he helped himself without paying for any of it, according to the statements law enforcement took at the scene."
When police arrived after the shooting, Adair said Lyles was nowhere to be found.
"He wasn't there, and his whereabouts were unknown for several years," Adair said.
The DA's Office received information in 2008 that Lyles had left Alabama and assumed a new identity in California. Lyles lived in Marysville, Calif., under the name Analdrea Eugene Smith. Adair said Lyles had stolen the identity from a Birmingham man and had a fake driver's license, social security card and at least two other forms of identification. Lyles was able to secure a job with a large lumber company during his time in California, Adair said. Lyles was even arrested on a marijuana possession charge at one point during his time in California without California police realizing that he was living under a stolen identity.
"He was living as a totally different person, and he had gotten away with it for quite a while," Adair said. "But the District Attorney's Office started receiving tips that he would come back to Walker County occasionally."
Police were able to track down Lyles during a return trip to Walker County on Dec. 27, 2008 when he was arrested at the Warrior River Motel and charged with murder. A Walker County grand jury indicted Lyles for Johnson's murder in November 2010.
Adair said after Lyles' arrest that authorities were able to find the man who's identity he had stolen.
"He had no idea that someone had been using his name," Adair said. "He said the only odd thing was that he had received some correspondence from the company that Lyles worked for in California. He just thought it was a mistake and didn't think much about it."
Adair said his office had been in contact with Johnson's mother since the plea deal was made.
"She was grateful and satisfied to have some justice after so many years," Adair said.
Both families were happy to receive closure from the sentencing, Adair said.
"Both families needed it to end," he said. "Justice has been served by this sentenced. The mothers of both these young men involved are fine people. I'm happy they can now move forward."
