4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice... but not perfect
Assembly time took just over 45 minutes and illustrations were clear. Assembly was easy and straight-forward.

This review is from: Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 3.1 (Sports)
Assembly time took just over 45 minutes and illustrations were clear. Assembly was easy and straight-forward. Only issue with assembly was that one of the leg cushions were a little too snug and I had to keep on twisting and turning it to get it to slide into the pole, but eventually I got it to go in with a lot of twisting. Bolt holes all lined up nicely and inserted quickly. Assembly tip: when assembling the frame to the board it is easiest if you turn the boards upside down and then place the frame on top of it instead of placing the board on top of the frame, just easier to align holes that way.
Supporting staples on the underside of the boards seemed to be clustered closer in some regions while other regions a bit farther apart than what I would have preferred. I would have like to see more staples used to support the vinyl to the board. Not really a big deal though as it probably looks good enough for now, maybe I'll dig out my staple gun and add a few more for extra measure.
While other reviewers noted tears in the vinyl or other folds in the corner, my boards and vinyl were in pristine condition, no rips, tears or folds.
The vinyl is nice material because it wipes clean easy but again I worry about long term durability. My previous bench was by Weider and it had some type of really durable molded firm rubber/foam material for the boards so never had to worry about vinyl coming loose or ripping, wish Bowflex made this bench with that same material (maybe version 2.0 :)).
The ease of changing from incline/decline/flat positions is very quick and smooth, a real pleasure to use. The engineering quality there is top notch, bravo. My old bench had a metal rod I had to pull out and insert into the frame and ohhh what a pain because it would never line up right and I would have to pull the bench board on a slight angle to get it to line up and then the rod would make a metal-to-metal screach sound (think of running finger nails across chalk-board) when I pulled the tightly position support rod out to change to incline... none of that with the Bowflex design, there is no pins or rods to pull out, simply lift board and swing support arm. Very very nice and quick.
The four positions (90 degree, 45 degree, 0 degree, and -10 degree) are plenty enough for my workouts and probably for the majority of other lifters. I wouldn't spend the extra money for the 5.1 bench, just no need for the extra positions as the 3.1 model is more than sufficient.
This bench has a 90 degree position and that is extremely helpful in doing seated overhead presses because it provides strong and high support for the back, something my older bench didn't have. I like this feature alot.
The decline angle seems sufficient but I would have preferred a bit more of a steeper decline for doing my sit-ups. That brings me to the next feature the leg holder/support.
The leg holder/support comes with this bench and can be easily detached by removing the support pin. I am disappointed with the engineering / positioning of the leg support. It seems to have been an after-thought feature that was thrown together at the last minute by Bowflex. It is just not comfortable as other reviewers on here have already mentioned. This is really unfortunate because it would have been a really nice feature if it was executed better (maybe improved in version 2.0?). The problem is that the leg support makes it really uncomfortable on your legs when you perform sit-ups on this model. I have tried various positioning of the leg support (tried putting pad closer to ankles, closer to calfs) and all of them have been uncomfortable. Even though it is uncomfortable to use I think it is still bearable to use the leg support for sit-ups (it also becomes annoying/irritating after using it for a while). Now I am an ectomorph and real skinny at the moment so I can imagine that a heavier individual would probably be even more uncomfortable in using the leg support for sit-ups.
The wheels is an okay feature I guess but really how often do you need to roll around your bench. Even if you do have to move it, you can just as well lift it up (it is about 55-65 pounds). One nice feature to have for those living in very limited space would have been a fold-up version where the frame and legs fold for real compact storage and sliding under the bed or tossing in the closet (maybe version 2.0).
The overall aesthetics of the bench is nice, sexy. I like the touch of red near the top of the board.
This is a very nice bench but with a few of the above suggestions this could turn from very nice to perfect. This is a good value for the money, get this bench you won't be disappointed. And last but not least don't waste your money on the 5.1 model.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice and sturdy for you big guys,
This review is from: Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 3.1 (Sports)
My biggest question when buying a bench or any piece of exercise equipment is, "Will it be big enough for me?" At 6-3 255, this can be a problem. Seems exercise companies these days think only small people work out!
I bought this along with the 552 dumbbells and stand. I found that this bench, just like the stand was much easier to assemble than some reviews say. The only part I had trouble with was putting the seat on, which can be explained by my body size. I'm sure there is a better way to do it, but I just picked it up and sat it on a table and put the seat on that way, instead of laying in the floor, cursing the little guy that decided to make this seat require me being under it to install the seat.
Trust me, that is part of the fun!
All of the instructions were clear, and it really wasn't that much that needed to be assembled. The parts as packaged, the seat, the back rest pad, the front stabilizer, the rear stabilizer and the rest was assembled. Well except the leg hold downs, which only requires sliding a pin and bar through a hole and putting the pads on each side.
You bolt the main part to the rear stabilizer, then the front stabilizer, bolt the back pad and seat on and that is it.
For a few measurements, and why I am more than impressed with this bench.
The seat at its widest point is 15 inches wide, at the front (under your thighs in incline) and 12 inches wide at its most narrow point. The back rest is also 12 inches wide. The back rest is nearly 3 inches thick and the seat is a little over 3 inches thick.
The material used in the frame is very sturdy. It says 300 pound user with 300 pounds of weights, can be supported and I believe it. The construction and design itself is excellent.
What I did was pull the stand in front of the leg end of the bench. It is narrow enough to fit that way, with the stand and dumbbells right in front of you when you sit down.
The incline is also very easy to use. You just slide the bar (that you can see in the picture) it has wheels on the bar and each setting has a gate/wall that the wheels stop at. That is it. No more pulling pins out, turning hex wrenches, or anything like that.
Mainly what I am saying is that I am an old school lifter that is used to narrow benches that require work to adjust during the workouts, this bench takes all of that extra work out of it and it looks nice as well.
Looks aren't a big deal, but trying to convince my wife that I really need this bench in the garage, near her artwork, made the looks matter!
I also have reviews of the stand and dumbbells up, so check those out too. I'm very pleased with all 3 and recommend each of them as highly as possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-constructed and great value,
Patrick D. Goonan "see profile for URL" (Livermore, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 3.1 (Sports)
This is a very nice bench by any standards and as other reviews mention, it was very easy to put together. The instructions are well-written, the diagrams clear and the whole thing is well-engineered and heavy duty construction. The manual says it can hold a 300lb. person plus 300lbs. or weight and I don't doubt that at all. It is also very easy to adjust and doesn't have a lot of little parts. It took me about 50 minutes to assemble it and I went very slowly.
It is true that there are only four positions you can use on this bench, but for most people that is plenty. Also, it is a perfect product to use with a dumbbell workout. If you go this route, I recommend either Pair of Personal PowerBlock Adjustable Dumbbells - 5-45 Pounds in 5 Pound Increments or PowerBlock SportBlock Dumbbell Set. These adjustable dumbbells are rugged, less expensive than other brands and the safest that I know of.
Some other details about the bench... the material is a medium thick vinyl and mine came with a 1 inch tear. I did not consult customer support yet, but I will update this review to reflect my experience of them when I do. I think a better material and padding would improve the product overall, but at this price point I think it's plenty rugged.
If you get this bench, you can eventually get a power rack that can be used with your bench and as a squat/deadlift rack. One that I like is Phys-x Half Rack 10418, but you there are others depending upon your needs.
If you are new (or old) to this type of training, I recommend Build Muscle Lose Fat Look Great: Everything You Need to Know to Transform Your Body and Starting Strength. These are probably the ONLY two books most people will ever need on strength training, building mass, etc. They are BOTH dense with great information systematically laid out. I have other suggestions on my listmania lists, check my profile if you are interested. I also reviewed most of the adjustable dumbells on available on here.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but not as good as the Ironmaster bench,
gibreel (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 3.1 (Sports)
I purchased 3 benches over the course of a few months, returned 2 of them and am very happy with my final purchase. I'm reviewing all 3 of the benches because it was an educational experience and I hope other people don't have to make the same mistakes I did.
As background, I have a small apartment in NYC and wanted a bench to use with dumbbells because I was quitting my gym membership. I wasn't trying to get a full workout machine because while that might be optimal, I don't have enough space for something like that. So the goal was a sturdy, as-small-as-possible bench that would lie flat, but also do incline, decline, and 90 degrees.
I initially went with the Cory Everson FID Weight Bench. I purchased this bench because it can fold up, lean against a wall and save space. Its main selling point to me was that it seemed similar to the Danskin Space Saver Bench that I had purchased a few years ago (and later sold on Craigslist when I joined a gym). I loved the Danskin bench because even though it's seemingly made for women, it was sturdy enough for my 170 pounds and 5'9" frame but folded up neatly. It was also just $119. I would have gladly purchased another one except it was no longer available. I'm not sure why Danskin no longer makes this great bench, but oh well. Anyway, the problem with the Cory Everson is that it is NOT sturdy. It was wobbly and felt like it might break at any moment. Therefore, I returned it to Amazon. I wouldn't recommend this bench to anyone, any gender, no matter how much you weigh.
Next, I went with the Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 3.1. While it seems like this bench would be able to fold up and lean against a wall, I was surprised that it was so BIG. It was very sturdy, but it just wasn't small enough to lean up against a wall and keep a low profile. The seat is also too wide and it makes doing a simple bench press awkward. I should have known that it was going to be big because the dimensions are clearly specified, but I didn't "internalize" the dimensions until I saw the bench fully assembled. Anyway, I also returned this bench. I wouldn't recommend unless you don't care about the wide seat and you have sufficient space.
The last bench that I bought was the Ironmaster Super Bench Adjustable weight-lifting Bench. It still doesn't beat the Danskin in terms of space-saving abilities, but it's solidly built (extremely so), smaller than the Bowflex (smaller footprint), and comes with a number of attachments to do dips, pull/chin-ups, sit-ups, etc. It's relatively expensive with the attachments that I added, but I couldn't ask for much more. My only complaint is that the height of the bench is higher than benches I've used at various gyms and so my feet don't reach the floor when doing bench press. Also, the seat is awkward when doing incline because it's square, it doesn't remain parallel to the floor (it's always at a 90 degree angle to the bench) and you can't straddle it as easily as other bench seats. But that being said, if you're looking for a dumbbell bench that's relatively small but sturdy, this is the bench for you. I'm very happy with this purchase.
Incidentally, I also purchased the Ironmaster 75 lb Quick Lock Adjustable Dumbbell System and it's the best dumbbell system out there. It's way better than the Bowflex and PowerBlock dumbbell systems. Without going to a store and putting all 3 dumbbells in your hand, you might not be convinced, but I called up Ironmaster and found a local store in my area and took a look in person. The main thing is that the Ironmaster do NOT rattle around at all (like the Bowflex) and the Ironmaster do not constrain the movement of your hand (like the PowerBlock) because they're essentially a "regular" dumbbell except that you can change the weight plates.
If you have further questions, leave me a comment and I'll get back to you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Weight lift limit,
Charles Moore (Chicago, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 3.1 (Sports)
Concerning the dumbbell weight limit for this bench, I had the following email exchange with Bowflex customer support:
Hello, I recently bought your 3.1 SelectTech weight bench from amazon.com and I get contradictory info on what the dumbbell lift weight limit is. The manual says in two places that the limit is 300 lbs. but the warning label on the bench itself says the lift weight limit is 125 lbs. Which is correct? Thanks.
Thank you for choosing Nautilus! I understand you have some questions regarding the Bowflex SelectTech 3.1 Bench. I can assist you with this.
The maximum user weight for this bench is 300 lbs. The maximum lifting weight is 180 lbs. The total weight is on the bench not to exceed 480 lbs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well built, sturdy item,
This review is from: Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 3.1 (Sports)
I recently purchased this bench in conjunction with a bowflex revolution FT. This bench is very sturdily built, and you can see that the welding is quality. The frame is as solid as a bike frame, while also having a very heavy feel. Altogether it took me about 30 minutes to put this bench together, and also it held me quite well. As I am about 235 pounds, the sturdiness of a bench is fairly important, and i highly recommend this bench to anyone who is in need of one.

3.0 out of 5 stars One of the better weight benches for home use.,
Curtis Mason (ID United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 3.1 (Sports)
I own a health club and a physical therapy company. I had purchased this bench about a year ago understanding that it might fit my needs in physical therapy. I own of course several benches and this is my least favorite.
The positives of this bench begin with the price. For a small price you get a 600 pound weight limit bench. Not bad. This is not the cheapest bench but it falls far below the $300 mark that many of the good benches have. Still for less than $50 more you may be able to get the hoist adjustable bench that has an 800 pound weight limit and more adjustability. http://www.amazon.com/Hoist-Fitness-Flat-Incline-Bench/dp/B003ANQO72/ref=zg_bs_3408351_5
Most of the pieces in my health club are Nautilus who is the maker of Bowflex. Certainly the commercial line of Nautilus has now been sold but the company has a long history of making some of the very best equipment and for revolutionizing the fitness industry with circuit pieces using cams. A 15 year warranty on the frame and 1 year on the upholstery is very reasonable.
This bench is very sturdy when lifting on it. If you tip over or feel anything squeak you are doing something wrong!
The other positives include the general features like the height of the bench, the leg brace, the fact that it does have wheels (see below), the size of the seat (which could be positive or negative) and the welded main frame are all reasonable for the price.
The negatives begin with the quality of the pad and upholstery. The pad is extremely soft and the naugahyde is very flimsy over the pad and there is a concern with wearing out. If you want a firm no give pad this is possibly not for you. This makes the bench look like a home unit or a thoroughly worn out gym piece.
I had specifically purchased it because of the wheels but they are very difficult to use because of the way the back feet are positioned. Expect the wheels to be of little use.
The positioning is gravity dependent instead of locked. I prefer the benches that lock into positions because of the feel when I move around on them or move them. Again if the wheels were reasonably placed this could be overlooked but trying to move this bench by lifting it is very awkward.
You cannot adjust the seat on this bench.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a reasonably well made bench with some adjustment and a 600# weight limit for under $150 this may be for you. I would recommend looking at the hoist bench http://www.amazon.com/Hoist-Fitness-Flat-Incline-Bench/dp/B003ANQO72/ref=zg_bs_3408351_5 before you buy as it is only $20 more and has more features and a much more commercial gym feel and look.

4.0 out of 5 stars I should have ordered the 5.1 model,
J. Williams "j_bird" (Riverside, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 3.1 (Sports)
I wasn't trying to break the bank when I decided to order my Selecttech setup. I went cheap on the bench and now wish I had gotten the 5.1 one. This isn't a bad bench, infact it's sturdy and easy to adjust, but the 5.1 offers extra positions, and not just frivolous ones. a 90 degree would be perfect for some of the presses I do. I think aside from the 2 extra inclines you can use with the 5.1 they are identical. I don't need the 2, but it would be nice as it could give me more work out options.
But this is well built and will serve it's purpose, I'm sure you can get better benches for cheaper elsewhere, but these go well with the Selecttech's and the Stand I bought. Overall I'm happy with all 3.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good all purpose bench,
This review is from: Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 3.1 (Sports)
Solid construction and all the holes line up when putting it together. Took me about an hour while watching tv to assemble it. This bench has various positions: Incline; flat; 45 degree; and 90 degree angles. Also, it comes with a leg attachment (that's removable) which comes in handy doing incline crunches and lifting yourself up after a tough set of incline bench presses. The leg attachment tends to feel a bit cramped up front there but only guys with really long legs will be unhappy. Overall, a solid piece of equipment at a good price.

Perry and Kollara-Sunil research unique clinical population through Cleft Palate Foundation grant
Dr. Jamie Perry, assistant professor, and Lakshmi Kollara-Sunil, a second year doctoral student, both in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, have a newly funded grant from the Cleft Palate Foundation. In their work, they are using dynamic magnetic resonance imaging during speech to examine the musculature in a unique clinical population – 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. This study will represent the first published findings of speech muscles among this clinical population. Data will provide insight into the unique muscle and cranial variations among these children. 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is caused by the deletion of part of Chromosome 22. It affects an estimated 1 in 4,000 people. The features of this syndrome vary considerably; however, common signs and symptoms include heart abnormalities, cleft palate and distinct facial features. Individuals with this syndrome may develop autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and Graves disease. Children with this syndrome experience developmental delays including speech development delays and learning disabilities. Both Dr. Perry and Kollara-Sunil expect the study will impact the surgical and clinical treatment plans and improve the speech outcomes following surgery. According to the foundation website, the Cleft Palate Foundation (CPF) has funded research related to cleft and craniofacial anomalies since 1989. CPF has [read more…]

Can this fixture be wall mounted?
ATG Stores Answer
Sorry this could not be wall mounted because of the transformer which would not run well at that angle.

Prior to switching to Cymbalta I was on Lexapro, before that Effexor. We thought "maybe" the Cymbalta would help with my pain...it hasn't. However, I've found it's about the same as the other two, with Effexor actually being the best. Yet, having had a heart attack in 2004, my doc is leary about returning me to that.
Cymbalta 60 mg and I've been on it for about 9 months.

In a futuristic and desolate industrial wasteland, there exists a supernatural "Zone" which contains a miraculous "Room," where all of one's wishes will be granted. The Zone has been declared off limits, but unauthorized guides known as Stalkers still lead travellers inside. One such Stalker
(Aleksandr Kaidanovsky) meets a Writer (Anatoly Solonitsin), and a Professor (Nikolai Grinko) who hire him to take them into the Zone, and the Stalker agrees to do so, despite his wife's (Alisa Freindlikh) fears that he'll be imprisoned again. The Writer says he's going there because he's lost his
inspiration and the Professor claims to be going for scientific reasons. The three men sneak past a police guard, then travel down railroad tracks until they reach the Zone. The men work their way through a complex tunnel system, and after emerging from the final tunnel, known as the "meat
grinder," they reach the threshold of the mysterious Room.
STALKER is an impenetrable film about the inexplicable mysteries of the universe, that's open to myriad interpretations. Anyone looking for a typical sci-fi film will be sorely disappointed, for Tarkovsky merely uses the basic plot as a metaphor, with the trip to the Zone being a spiritual journey
into the heart of one's soul. The Stalker, Writer, and Professor, represent Blind Faith, Jaded Art, and Amoral Science, respectively, and the characters spend most of the trip philosophizing. The methodical tracking shots and lumbering movements of the actors are so painfully slow that one feels
the weight and gravity of each and every shot, but just when one is lulled into a narcotized state, Tarkovsky comes up with some stunning cinematic moments, such as the mystical framing scenes, where the earsplitting roar of a train shaking the Stalker's house is undercut by the soothing sound of
Beethoven's "Ode to Joy." Tarkovsky was undoubtedly a serious artist, but his films operate on their own private wavelength of sometimes maddening deliberateness which can create a hypnotic and soporific effect simultaneously and STALKER certainly has its share of both, but it also has enough
hauntingly beautiful images and profound ideas to linger in one's mind. leave a comment --Michael Scheinfeld

I enjoyed the Mid-America Club, with some caveats. The overall ambiance was lovely; we had a nice view of Navy Pier and the food was great. However, I had some issues with the service and specifications of the deal. I ordered a bottle of red wine (with the 20% deal). We received a bottle of prosecco instead, which was more expensive than the wine I ordered. I thought that this was for a complimentary toast, which I had read about in some reviews. I clarified that this was not the bottle I ordered, and that we would still receive our red wine with dinner. Our waiter kept pouring the prosecco, which I found confusing because we did not order it. When our dinner did come, he asked if we wanted an additional glass of wine - which, again, was confusing because I had ordered a bottle with dinner. We ended up with a more expensive bottle of wine that I did not order, and additional glasses of wine which we would not have gotten if we had received the bottle we ordered.
I ended up spending more on the "extras" for dinner than I did for the coupon for the 3-course meal.

Consumers Energy Issues "Safety First" Message To Winter Visitors To Its 13 Hydroelectric Plants
JACKSON, Mich., Jan. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers Energy is advising the public to practice extreme caution when visiting areas near its 13 hydroelectric generating plants in the winter months, located on the Manistee, Muskegon, Au Sable, Kalamazoo and Grand Rivers.
In particular the utility is warning people about the likelihood of thin ice up and downstream of the dams.
"Ice conditions on the reservoirs next to these hydro plants can change rapidly due to unpredictable weather. In particular we want the public to be aware of the possibility of thin ice and dangers associated with the ice immediately upstream of the dam itself," said Donald Baker, river hydro superintendent for Consumers Energy.
Water currents at a hydroelectric plant can be hazardous in winter, when a reservoir may or may not be covered with ice. Ice near a dam is not reliable and should be avoided by snowmobilers, anglers and others enjoying recreation.Ice-covered water down river from a hydroelectric facility should also be considered very dangerous and is never a safe place to walk. Consumers Energy, the principal subsidiary of CMS Energy (NYSE: CMS), provides natural gas and electricity to 6.8 million of Michigan's 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties.

text: I read their backup was one of the best QB in HS history. They did move the ball when he was in the game, but they made sure he didn't throw much to protect that lead. With the injuries I'm not sure putting in Derrick Harvey would move the chains. I think we need to throw downfield or Mizzou will stack the line and throw in a few plays to confuse our oline like LSU did.

Bones Review: Death Goes Digitalby Chandel Charles at . Comments
Booth and Brennan found themselves hunting for more than just the perfect home on Bones this week. When severed remains appeared at the American Heritage Museum, the Jeffersonian team plunged in to the world of informants and clues embedded in the skull and vertebrae of the victim to find the killer.
Indeed, "The Crack in the Code" was quite an eventful winter finale.
I was pretty impressed with the innovation and imagination of the writers room on this one. Never would I have conjured up the idea of rearranging spinal vertebrae to fashion a code of any kind. Yet it was no surprise that Hodgins was the one to crack it, with the help of his lovely wife Angela. This was every government conspiracy buff's dream.
Bones has had slew of infamous serial killers and snipers ranging from The Gravedigger to Broadsky. This one, however, takes the concept to a whole new level.
I will forever be stumped as to how an effective fractal pattern containing malware could be etched into the distal end of a bone. Especially not one that would send Angela's entire electronics collection up in flames. It's epic in a very sick kind of way.
It seems Christopher Pollant will not soon be forgotten, as our team was unable to directly connect him to the string of bodies left for them to find and identify. I only have one question: Who's next?
On a much lighter note, Booth and Brennan were not only chasing potential serial killers, but also searching for the perfect home. With their little girl six weeks from being born, it was down to the wire for those two to find a place to live.
One thing that struck me about their choice was that it had to be in the most unlivable condition known to mankind. Worse still, Booth and his help will have minimal time to make it into a livable and family-friendly dwelling.
Perhaps the most endearing feature of this home is its symbolic quality. Booth and Brennan's likening the house to a symbol of their conquering of the bad guys was a fitting comparison. If there's anyone who deserves to live in a rehabilitated home that signals their strength, it's Booth, Brennan and their little girl.
It's a shame this show is going on hiatus again! Guess we will have to wait a little bit longer to see the birth, and, more interestingly, how this whole house thing works out!
What do you think of the new villain? What about the new house? Sound off below!
C. Charles is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: Bones, Reviews
OK, so the last couple of episodes have sort of improved my opinion of the B&B relationship. The dynamics seems more believable somehow. Besides, I actually kind of liked the case in this episode! So that brings me to the question that's been nagging at me since the beginning of the season: why are Brennan and Booth still allowed to work together? We've heard multiple times that it's against regulations, they have had to have counseling in the past to determine if they should stay partners when there was just a whiff of potential personal problems between them, and they are not exactly keeping this relationship a secret. So what gives?
Pelant's apartment has nothing but junk in it yet he has superhuman IT skills. The things he does are actually impossible and certaintly beyond the range of TV writers. He succeeds only because he is written that way.
The show's going on hiatus so they can build that house!
I love Bones. It's so entertaining. I like the fact that the writers introduced someone that is highly intelligent. I think he will be a good nemesis for all of them, not just Bones herself. Pollant has them all stymied and that is so good. It was evidenced by the fact that Sweets told Booth that Pollant will probably get away with the killings (so far anyway, my comment, not Sweets). However, good must win over evil, so smart or not, Pollant will be taken down. The fact that Brennan is happily taking the time to take care of herself and her unborn baby and looking for a Mighty Hut for she and her soon-to-be family shows a warm and loving part of Dr. Brennan that we have not seem much of until now. I love the way the writers are bringing the family together. Once all that is settled down, I believe the action and drama around cases will get back to normal, but hopefully we will still be able to enjoy a good deal of family woven into the episodes.
I just love the new bones dynamic--bones preggers,booth solicitous, the baby, the new home --I just love it.The beauty with this show is that it is like a river with many wonderful tributaries that hold our interest--angela&hodgins--cam and her daughter(we should find her a man)and last most importantly booth and brennan love story--to me murder is secondary.
I really didn't like this episode, it was really farfetched and not in a good waay. And I don't know what's wrong with Camille's acting but it's been bad lately but in this episode she was just terrible.. So was Caatherine and Angela.. and even Hodgins!
The whole thing didn't feel natural at all and the music they passed on some occasions made it feel like an old crappy polar..
Bones, arrogant; not so! Her comments to her intelligence are not arrogant, but based on evidence she has. Her statement was she didn't know anyone smarter than herself and it was not said with arrogance, but of simple fact. She did however, say he could be 'resourceful' until she has more evidence pointing to a different conclusion. She is a certified genius, speaks at least seven other languages, has an eidetic memory, has three doctorates, etc. It should be of no surprise that she sees herself as extremely intelligent and others who work with her feel the same way. So, she has the empirical evidence needed to make the statement of not knowing anyone smarter than herself. She has always been blunt and stated exactly what she thought and/or felt, but she also is not opposed to saying she was wrong if the evidence leads her to that conclusion. This was their first battle with the new villain, let's just see how it plays out before we start to vilify her.
I really enjoyed this episode. Everybody had a part in solving the crimes. Loved it that Booth was the one to find them their house. I knew what was going to happen as soon as Sweet's told Booth he found Daisy's present at the U S Marshal's Auction @ .20 on the dollar!
loved the episode... new bad guy...cases that go outside of the box...got the concept of the house...but where's Parker:( haven't heard about him in a while...not even while there were looking for a house with a man cave and a woman cave with the perfect baby room:(

It was called "the war to end all wars"; the First World War altered the course of a young 20th century, and this month marks the centenary of the war's 1914 beginning.
To commemorate and examine the conflict, the Wilmette Public Library is offering its newest fall series, "The Great War," beginning Sept. 10.
Wilmette area residents are invited to register for the series. Participants can review the far-ranging impact of the war and the origins of America's entry into it. They'll also be able to hear presentations by military and historical experts, take part in book discussions and even look at the war from a cinematic viewpoint, she said.
"We had done previous fall series on the Civil War and on the Muslim world, and we knew people found them historically interesting," said library representative Nancy Wagner. "So when we realized this anniversary was coming up, we thought it was an excellent chance to tap into that interest again."
Wagner said preparation for the series began this spring. She praised the First Division Museum at Cantigny, whose executive director, Paul Herbert, is the inaugural speaker, for its support.
"That connection has been great, and they've really wanted to work with us," she said.
Herbert's presentation, "World War I – How and Why the U.S. Got Involved," begins at 7 p.m. Sept. 10.
Geneologist and author Jennifer Holik is the second series speaker, with an 11 a.m. Sept. 27 talk, "Military Geneology – Finishing the Story," in which she covers the lives, service and deaths of three soldiers, and provides resources for further research.
Wagner also thanked Paul Grasmehr, reference coordinator at the Pritzker Military Museum and Library in Chicago, saying, "The Pritzker [Museum] has been great with outreach, and I'm thrilled that he can take part."
Grasmehr will lead two book discussions. At 7 p.m. Oct. 8, the group will discuss "Catastrophe 1914" by Max Hastings; On Nov. 12, the selection will be "Storm of Steel," by Ernst Junger. Copes of both books are available at the library's recent arrivals desk.
For those interested in how the First World War influenced film, film scholar Mike Smith will examine cinematic depictions of the war in "Mike at the Movies: Global Perspectives on WW I" at 2 p.m. Oct. 18.
The series concludes at 2 p.m. Dec. 7, with a presentation by DePaul University history professor Thomas Mockaitis. Mockaitis will talk about "Myths and Realities of World War One."
For more information on the series, call Wagner at 847-256-6935, or email, firstname.lastname@example.com. Register for the programs via the Library's online calendar at www.wilmettelibrary.info or call 847-256-6930.

Using Your Photo As An Avatar - page 2
I see more and more posters using their own photos as avatars, and while most of those pictures are very attractive, I think it's a dangerous practice. The internet isn't really as anonymous as we all like to think it is, but if... Read More
- 6Feb 18, '13 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNMy avatar is a color-altered version of the famous graphic that came out after Steve Jobs died, because I have used Apple products for thirty years. And because I like the line, "Think different."
I'll vouch for the "you never know who won't like something you post." Even though I have thousands of "likes," I have a lot of people who, I am told, complain about my bluntness and lack of sugarcoating. Imagine if someone really knew who I am ... and if you do, out there, be sure to check it out with me.
- 1Feb 18, '13 by joanna73 GuideAgreed. You cannot remain anonymous using an actual photo as an avatar. I would hope that those who do use photos as avatars are using random photos and not their own. Otherwise, you're asking for trouble.
- 3Feb 18, '13 by ThePrincessBrideI would like to think that I am as cute as my avatar (long live Dobby! ).But I agree OP. I've heard too many stories of people posting on the internet and getting fired for it. It isn't worth it.
- 8Feb 18, '13 by workingharderGuess all you want, Doc. You'll never see through my disguise!
- 3Feb 18, '13 by AmnestyQuote from kloneI, too, have never understood this xD.What I don't understand is why a person would use a picture of Angelina Jolie or some other sexy famous person as their av. Seems weird.
I'm 24, and even in my day, it was completely taboo to give out even so much as your real name online. Nowadays people are like, "HERE! LOOK AT MY DOG! AND MY SCHOOL! AND MY NEIGHBORHOOD! AND MY MOM!" and they don't realize that there are consequences to making yourself so easy to find. I've always been quite paranoid about my own Internet usage. Different usernames on every website, and not many ways to link them together. Protect yourselves!!
- 1Feb 18, '13 by LadyFree28I really look like this...I swear!!!
If anyone can figure who I am in person, that would be interesting...there's hundreds and thousands of nurses in my area, where I work, that may have similar backgrounds...NO one knows I'm a part of AN. And if they do, they don't want people to know either...this place is like Vegas to me...and names and avatars are protected!!!
- 1Feb 18, '13 by sharpeimom GuideI'd never post a picture of myself as my avatar on any internet site! I use several usernames on different sites too. We have two shar pei and nine cats, so usually I use a cat or dog picture as my avatar. I change the avatar from time-to-time but usually keep the same theme.
- 2Feb 18, '13 by mariebailey, MSN, RNGreat advice. My profile/avatar are inconspicuous. I'm not really a dog, I don't really live on the internet, & I have much more than 0 years of experience.
- 6Feb 18, '13 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorYou would be amazed to realize that after you have been here a while it is rather easy to actually figure out who's who or where they live. Anyone who actually knows me who be able to figure me out in a heartbeat by my posts and my dog. But I am extremely purposeful about what I put on the internet.
- 2Feb 18, '13 by Nascar nurse, ASN, RNAwe - here I was trying to hide the big secret that I'm really Danica Patrick (snicker snicker)

CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. -- Students from throughout the Capital Region are beginning to brainstorm ideas for upcoming robot competitions.
On Saturday, members of high school robotics teams gathered on the RPI campus to learn what the 2014 FRC challenge will be.
Then, for the next six weeks, the students will design, build, and test a robot to meet the challenge and wait for the competitions to begin.
"This is the first real hands on experience that I've had, being able to work with the robot as well as do some of the project management stuff, holding meetings and doing the rest of that, applying for grants and sending out for sponsorships, which is some of the stuff you can't get at school, you can only get it here at this competition," said Matthew Hoffer, Cambridge Student.
Many of the teams at the Kick Off event will return to the Rensselaer campus in March to compete in the New York Tech Valley Regional Competition.

Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX)
Netflix delivers its comprehensive library of movies and TV shows online and through the mail in their ubiquitous red envelopes.
I was able to add Netflix at $161.96. I took it off and replaced it because I believe today's news started a new era for the company and wanted to measure the value.
The big news: Netflix will enter video games.
But that news was just jeered by Morgan Keegan analyst Justin Patterson writes:
Gamefly (leading games by mail service) spends over $30 million annually acquiring content. Why take this risk on now?
Gamefly charges what $15.95 for their customers to rent games. I don't think it's a coincidence that the new Qwikster is charging $15.99 for DVDs. And now this will include games. Spending $30 million a year buying game content is much better than paying $300 million for StarZ movies. And Netflix has the infrastructure in place to do a better job than Gamefly. This should make investors once again perceive them as a growth company and throw fear into those shorting the company.
At $161.50, Netflix' PE is 40.99 – yes it's expensive, but now it will be perceived as a growth company again. The synergies created by combining the DVD and hardcopy game business are in my opinion a big deal. This was another big Netflix move and a great one in my opinion and I suspect one that was planned for a very long time. I am sure anyone with a $15.99 DVD plan can mix and combine movies and games. This creates a value package that should bring in more money and give them more money to spend on what? Content – even more money to spend on streaming content. This is a good move for Netflix. And they will be perceived as a super growth company again which should make them trade again for high premiums.
Netflix notes
Price $161.96– PE ratio 41
September 15, 2011 – Netflix stocks fell $39.46 to close at $169.25.
September 16, 2011 Friday – Netflix continued to fall closing the day at $155.19 – intraday low $154.14: Intraday low PE ratio was 39.12.
September 19 2011, the stock price started to rise again based on what I feel was very good news.
But before the good news I want to discuss some of the events that led to the mini-netflix crash.
Cablevision has signed a deal with Turner Broadcasting to allow its programming to be available on Cablevision's TV everywhere platform. The deal will allow cablevision subscribers to have next day access at no additional charge to programming from TNT, TBS, Cartoon Network and TrueTv and they can watch them on multiple devices.
This isn't a big contract between two different companies. Cablevision is owned by Time Warner. And Turner Broadcasting is a subsidiary of Time Warner. The strategy will allow cablevision to compete better with Netflix video-streaming services. But it doesn't represent an aggregation of content which is what would be needed to hurt Netflix.
Netflix' DVD service is what makes them such a huge scary competitor to the Time Warner and StarZ's of the world. Netflix aggregates content: It makes content from all studios readily available at one site. Don't count out DVDs – they are not going away soon.
StarZ deal:
September 1, 2011 it was reported that a deal between Netflix and StarZ could not be reached. Netflix offered $300 million to resume the deal which expires February 2012.
I really get the impression people believe this means a huge percentage of Netflix movie library goes out the window. This isn't true. StarZ movies can still be seen on DVD. It does delay new movies content for DVD and eliminates it for their streaming content. I personally have never streamed a StarZ movie. I never did a lot of streaming. I much rather get the Dvds which in my opinion still offers sound value far beyond other services.
If you want new StarZ movies you can rent the package on Direct Tv for $12.95 a month. This is cheaper than Netflix, but you get only about 75 selections at any given time. In order to get video on demand you must pay for installation beyond your normal cable subscription. You will need a HDDVR about $7.00 a month ( a great service by the way) and then you may get more selections but it still very limited and only includes StarZ content.
So, perhaps you want HBO too and then you must pay more. My present Direct TV bill is about $134 a month including taxes. I get all the premium channels and that excludes DVR and it includes five receivers. The actual premium package is about $84 a month with only one receiver. With this sub you get all the premium channels. For another $10 a month you can get the HD-DVR (installation and receiver will run a few hundred dollars) and about $7 for each additional receiver. With the HD-DVR you can get the on-demand selections from all the premium channels. Even including them all, the selection is far less diverse than Netflix DVD selections. Netflix is the aggregator king – so far.
Many were disappointed by Netflix move to raise prices. Supposedly according to new sources (always suspect) many left refusing to pay the extra money. However, when you use the DVD part of the subscription, it is hard to beat Netflix for cost and variety of movies – I am Ok waiting for new releases. I have many times waited for movies to come to regular television before watching them, not cable, regular TV (four year wait or more) – I never felt deprived, but I am not a big movie guy. You couldn't pay me to go into a theater any more. When I was young I loved it, but now I rather watch it at home and I don't mind waiting. Netflix gives me all I need. The cable service is for my wife who really does loves watching television. And she is the one that uses Netflix – I watch those she gets that I am interested in with her but seldom order my own movies – though I have streamed old westerns and science fiction from Netflix and I do make sure she orders all the science fiction shows – the only new movies I really care about and I can still wait a long time for them. There hasn't been a movie since Star Wars where I felt compelled to go to a theater. I did go to see Star Wars. I was 23 years old. I have seen movies in theaters with my wife, but today she likes watching at home too. Let's face it – it is convenient and everything we want is here.
HBO has probably the largest video on demand on cable. You can get it on your computer free simply by subscribing to HBO through a service provider. Of course that will cost you some money about $12 a month, not including extra receivers or HD-DVR etc, but again you are only getting HBO movies and content – a fair selection, but to get Showtime, HBO, StarZ you have to pay up for each. If you get an entire package you get two movie channels free, but that package is $84 a month – Direct TV's best deal. And all together, the selection including all of its exclusive content isn't near what you can get by subscribing to Netflix DVD service.
Those selling the stock now are probably thinking that the DVD service has no value or growth. I don't think that is even close to being true. Subscribers estimates are lower than the previous quarter, but if met is still higher than last year. Is it a trend? I don't know. But I suspect there are plenty of new subscribers out there ready to subscribe to Netflix DVD service.
The greatest competition to Netflix is still the cable and satellite companies that acts as aggregators of content. Direct TV, for instance, has shows of HBO, Showtime, The Movie Channel, Disney, StarZ and many others and with HD-DVR many more videos on demand, but you have to pay dearly for the entire package each month. Netflix is by far the cheap alternative for entertainment – though you may have to wait a bit longer for new releases – I can wait: I am a patient investor and a patient consumer.
So how much does one have to pay to subscribe to Netflix under the new plan?
Events: July 12, 2011
Netflix reported price changes. They will separate their business into segments. Unlimited Streaming (no DVDs) will be $7.99. Unlimited DVDs 3 out at a time (no streaming for $15.99. If you want both unlimited DVD and streaming the cost will be $23.98. I have unlimited DVDs and Unlimited Streaming, but I seldom stream, so I could reduce the price I pay just by changing to the unlimited DVD plans. If I did this, I would save money over the old price, the only sacrifice would be the few movies I stream on the computer when I really don't have anything better to do. I opted to keep the hybrid subscription. I rarely stream, but when I do, I am glad it is there.
From Bloomberg: Brett Pulley and Cliff Edwards
The "rare, large and surprising misstep" came after Netflix in July split its mail-order and streaming services into two plans, Barton Crockett, an analyst at Lazard Capital Markets, wrote in a research note today. The move effectively raised prices by 60 percent to $15.98 a month for people who want DVDs and online access.
Netflix probably lost 594,000 U.S. subscribers as a result of the price change, said Crockett, who has a "neutral" rating on the shares.
Barton Crockett called the new pricing strategy a "misstep". How does he know? He goes on to say they probably lost 594,000 subscribers.
In the third quarter of 2011, Netflix estimated they had 25 million subscribers in the U.S. On September 15, 2011, the company revised its domestic subscriber estimates. They now believe they lost subscribers and now will report about 24 million domestic subscribers for the fourth quarter. Even so and this is important, their financial guidance hasn't changed. They still expect to make $0.72 to $1.07. That is a big range. Perhaps many of the lost subscribers were the free subscribers.
Last year during the fourth quarter, they had only 20.01 million, so even with the revised estimates; domestic subscribers will be higher at 24 million. Last year in the fourth quarter, th
I think there is
more gloomy days for Netflix, and i would be vey coutius on investing.
Sorry for your loss
...lousy growth companies.
That's gotta hoit!
More important than picking good investments is managing your money to CUT YOUR LOSSES AND LET YOUR PROFITS RUN. Gerald Loeb The Battle or Investment Survival. His ideas are pertinent in every market even though first penned many years ago. Interestingly enough the world famous gambler Nick the Greek used the same methods in his Life as a Gambler. As a result of Loeb's book I am a happy retired investor. Motley Fool is foolish to not recommend cutting losses when things go against the investor. In Loeb's world the investor would have sold his position when his losses exceeded his limit. ie if the investor was willing to risk 10% of his investment the first time the stock declined by 10% he would have sold. In netflix case he would lose 10% of the stock's high not the 40%? it is down from its high now. Still no sell recommendation from MF. As Mr. Loeb said, "you can always buy the stock back but protecting your gain is more important than losing while hoping." I read his book frequently and am much happier for it.
Hi Trojan69,
Cutting your losses is a legitimate way to invest. But its not my way of choice. I purchased Netflix at much lower prices. I lightened some at $156, only to watch it go to $304.79. I regretted that a bit, but realize it is part of how I invest. I lightened based on news that studios were going to favor Blockbuster over Netflix and create their own alliances while others will go with Netflix to sell content. Since I lightened my position, I bought some more at $131 and change and recently at $74 and change. I believe in their long-term future.
The problems I believe with cutting losses habitually is that you sell out of a stock that might really be a great one. I tend to view drops as opportunities to invest at better value points. It doesn't always work out well, but if I have made a fair assessment of the business, it tends to work out far more than not working out. By buying at better value points, my cost basis goes lower and even a steep drop won't hurt much. Plus I believe in diversifying sensibly.
I tend to invest over time at better and better value points, so I allow time to test my thesis. This keeps me from investing too much in mistakes. As I ease into my stocks at better value points, time exposes mistakes before I invest too much. It isn't easy to buy at better value points over time. If earnings or cash flow goes down faster than the price the value doesn't get better, so it acts as a safeguard.
But if you found cutting losses quickly works for you, I would not change it. We all have to invest the way that keeps us in our comfort zone.

Other than the unexpected proposed splitting of the Company, nothing has really changed. They face the very same competitive threats, though the names have changed some, the threat is similar to what we were discussing back in 2007.
The valuation is better. The price crashed from its 52 week high of $304.79, but its earnings have gone up significantly too giving them a much better valuation. The PE at $84.26 is 19.15 which is in my opinion cheap. The cash flow yield is 6.5% which is good too.
This may not be a company for you. It isn't a company that has an easily defined competitive environment. This isn't a restaurant stock where growth can be easily guessed by extrapolating store counts and noting growth each quarter. We can't even categorize Netflix competitors easily. Some compete directly with Netflix, but could also be viewed as a supplemental entertainment source, so the line becomes a bit hazier. Some of their competitors also include Netflix as a customer of their content.
I am investing in them because I believe they will eventually get 30 to 40 million subscribers. That event may now come a bit later than first thought, but when it happens, they will be a powerhouse in the industry which will give them greater bargaining power with studios and more money to buy far more streaming content.
There is a risk that Amazon or Apple, with deeper pockets may come in and make it harder to get those subscribers. But this risk isn't a new one. They have always gone up against larger competitors with deeper pockets, it isn't a new threat.
Netflix has never been a risk free investment, but that hasn't kept it from being a good one. It isn't likely to be smooth sailing until they get subscriber growth over 30 million, then I think they will become a much greater force in the industry.
I am not a one-value point investor. I allocate money according to risk. I don't mind buying when others are selling and panicking. I don't overweight my portfolio in any one stock or any few stocks. I build for the future. I have no way of knowing for sure, but I continue to invest in Netflix because I believe they will someday have 30 to 40 million subscribers, perhaps more. But 30 to 40 million would give them massive leverage in the industry and that is worth holding and buying, particularly when the value is reasonable. Earnings will fall during the q1:2012 quarter as they invest in content for the UK and Ireland. I can live with that. I can wait two years or even four years for them to cross that 30 to 40 million. I also can live with the fact that if Netflix is beaten by future competitors, they may not be a good future investment. And no one can predict who will be on top in five years, no one has that perfect edge yet.
It may be proven that there is room for other competitors. Apple and Amazon may not like investing in this business simply because they can. Amazon's last earnings report was disappointing and spending on content for their streaming business was one of the causes. Apple may have better options to invest their money. Building a streaming business may not be as enticing for Apple as investors fear. Movies isn't music. The latter is pretty simple to start and not expensive to maintain.
I don't think anyone knows what the future will look like. It may be entirely different in five years. Netflix and the industry may switch to a fee per view as the studios wants giving them many sources of income. That would be really bad for us the customers which would force us to pay far more for shows. Pay-per-view is expensive, desireable for studios, bad for us.
So I am investing in Netflix because I think they will evolve into a greater force in the industry.

Q3: 2011 Notes:
Sales were $821.839 million up 48.6% from $553.219 million last year. TTM revenues were $2.93 billion or $54.44 per share up from TTM revenues of $2 billion or $37.27 per share. TTM revenues per share were up 46.1%. I am sorry the price of the stock went down from a high of $304.79, but their business is very strong. It is growing very well. Price doesn't always reflect the value of the business correctly. In fact it seldom does. That is fortunate for me, a multi-value-point investor.
What about Net income? Is it growing?
Net income for the quarter was $62.46 million up 64.5% from $37.967 million. Earnings per share were $1.16 up from $0.70. TTM earnings were $4.40 up 67.3% from TTM earnings of $2.63. One poster said they beat guidance because they lowered guidance. Well that isn't correct, they never lowered guidance. They made it very clear they were leaving guidance where it was, only subscriber numbers would be lower. They beat the high end of earnings guidance by $0.12. Not a characteristic of a loser.
What about cash flow? Is it growing?
TTM Cash flow excluding content costs $295.62 million or $5.49 per share up from TTM cash flow of $110.47 million or $2.05 per share. Cash flow for nine months including content costs was $151.2 million up from $69.285 million last year, so even when we include content costs they are growing cash flow. Since content costs are taken out of earnings, I don't feel it necessary to include it in my cash flow numbers. Also they can slow spending on content at any time. Presently they are making plenty of money to fund spending on content.
So why did the price drop? At $304.79, its 52 week high, the stock price was expensive. And I did say it was expensive in just about every one of my page posts. But this has never been new, it has always been expensive. I even compared it with BIDU. BIDU is by far my most overvalued stock, but it was overvalued years ago when I bought it and it's even more overvalued today. If I hadn't bought it because of the valuation, I would have missed a big opportunity. Netflix performed similarly until news finally scared investors out of the stock. I believe the exit was a temporary setback, not permanent. I also think subscriber growth will continue to grow. The price increase upset some subscribers, but they still are posting some very strong numbers.
I also bought in today, i had the feeling it was on the BOTTOM. so i'm up 10%
BBI was trading at $63 when I first thought about buying..........
What does this have to do with NFLX......technology constantly changes and evolves.
Nothing proprietary about NFLX, might be bought out one day by Direct TV to compete with Dish!
