When I was 10 years old, my twin sister and I were taken out for our birthdays. John, a family friend, took his daughter and he treated us three girls to a late-lunch at one of the fanciest restaurants I had ever eaten. Olive Garden. We sat at a window table–over looking scenic views of the 60 Freeway–and I gazed around the restaurant in complete wonder. I rearranged my ironed jeans (because, really, you MUST iron your jeans for fine dining) as I sat in the pleather chair. When the waitress took our drink order, John raised his hand and hushed our pleas for soda. The girls will have strawberry daiquiris…without the alcohol, of course. He then winked our way as if we were sharing a secret.
It was the first time I'd ever been allowed to order anything but water at a restaurant, and as I slurped the bright pink confection, I happily slipped into a sugar coma. At that moment, I felt like the luckiest girl alive. With my brown eyes just above the lip of the oblong glass, I smiled. And the sounds of freight trucks on the 60 Freeway filled the air.
Last night, I sipped on camomile tea and watched cars fly down 28th Street in Portland, Oregon. Sitting in Papa Haydn's, mixed desserts filled the table and JD and I toasted to a wonderful day. I had the pleasure of speaking at the PPO Conference and I was delighted to teach such an AMAZING group of photographers. From the moment I walked into the ballroom, I was treated like an old friend and welcomed into their club immediately. I can't say enough great things about the leadership, the organization, and the energy of this group!
JD and I walked down 28th Street with our hands pushed deep into our coat pockets. As we window shopped–and I dreamed of donning a apricot colored dress in a boutique window–my breath danced in the air like filigree. We ducked into Papa Haydn's to escape the cold and share dessert. I couldn't decide what dessert I wanted and went back and forth what felt like a million times. JD then told the waitress he'd like to order four desserts…I want to make sure she can taste the best Portland has to offer.
It was the first time someone had ever ordered four desserts just to ensure I could taste each of them, and as I nibbled on each confection, I happily slipped into a sugar coma. With my brown eyes just above the lip of the tea cup, I smiled. And the sounds of flying cars of 28th Street filled the air.
A special thanks must go to Andy of Front Street Photo for being a wonderful host and taking the above photo. He also gave me a gift bag on behalf of PPO and in it a few attendees wrote thank you notes. I was SO touched reading such kind words and my heart melted on my way home. I LOVE PORTLAND! 🙂

We would LOVE to have you in Seattle!3.5.09 - 6:13 pm
You're SUCH fab story-teller. I'm drawn deeper and deeper into your bog (as I've just recently started following, I feel the need to 'get to know you' better by going further back and back) This story brought a tear or two to my eye. We're the same age, and we were pretty poor as kids in the 80's (YIKES, that's two decades ago, almost three lol) My husband and I just recently brought his youngest cousin (14) to OLIVE GARDEN! While we ordered soup, salad, and breadsticks (our favs!) we let him order whatever he wanted. The MOST expensive thing on the menu! lol. But what a treat, to let him have an experiance I never had. I hope he one day looks back with the same appreciation you still have, as he had NEVER been to such a 'fancy' resturaunt. I made him try Calamari just for kicks. . . bingo, he loved it ; ) Thanks for your talent!4.10.09 - 2:43 pm

Lenny Wilkens To Speak At Friar Legends Forever Dinner
The Dinner will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 13 at the Omni Hotel in Providence.
College To Honor John Thompson, Jim Hadnot and Andrea Mangum
Three former Friars will have their numbers raised to the rafters on Feb. 14 and a dinner on Feb. 13.
Friars Open 2014-15 Season With Late Night Madness
Providence introduced the 2014-15 men's and women's basketball teams.
Men's Basketball Annual Team Awards Announced
Team held its annual banquet on Saturday at the Marriott
Joe Hassett, Kevin Stacom And Tracy Lis Become Friar Legends Forever
The three former Friars had their jerseys put into the rafters at halftime on Saturday.
There's little doubt that Jimmy Walker is the greatest player ever at Providence College. Still the second all-time leading scorer with 2045 points in just three seasons, all before the advent of the three-point field goal, Walker was a three-time All-American who was considered the second coming of Oscar Robertson. Physically strong and tremendously gifted, Walker turned the point guard position into a deadly scoring weapon for the Friars in the middle 1960's. Along the way he set scoring records for single game, season and career. In 1967 he became the only Friar to average over 30 points a game in leading the NATION in scoring. Walker was PC's and New England basketball's only Number One draft choice of the NBA. He remains the only Providence College player to ever be selected first in the draft.
A prolific scorer while at Providence, Jimmy Walker picked up where he left off in the NBA. The first overall pick of the Detroit Pistons in the 1967 NBA Draft, Walker averaged 16.7 points per game over his nine-year career. A two-time all-star selection, Walker could score from anywhere on the court, and consistently recorded 20 points per game during the peak of his career. Even with his ability to put the ball in the basket, Walker never strayed from the team concept. Walker partnered with a number of star players, including Dave Bing in Detroit and Nate Archibald in Kansas City-Omaha, and his ability to play unselfish basketball improved the teams that he played on. He was a two-time All-Star and scored 11,655 points in his career. Walker retired from the NBA in 1976.

It's time for more outrageous and feathered fun in the award-winning, laugh-out-loud Meg Langslow series.
When her old friend Karen drops by with two-year-old son Timmy, Meg Langslow reluctantly agrees to babysit "just for a little while." But when nightfall comes, the toddler is still in residence and Karen isn't answering any phone calls. Meg decides she must find out what's happening, so the next morning, with Timmy in tow, she retraces her friend's footsteps---and begins to suspect that Karen's disappearance is tied to at least one serious crime. Has Karen been killed or kidnapped? Is she on the run from the bad guys? Or is she one of the bad guys? The police don't seem to care, so Meg once again plays sleuth---this time with a toddler as her sidekick.
As usual, Meg's extended family adds to the complications in her life. What covert animal welfare project are Dad and the curmudgeonly zoologist Dr. Montgomery Blake working on---and will Meg have to make another late-night trip to bail them out of jail? Why does Meg's brother keep disappearing---is he merely trying to avoid babysitting, or is he involved in something more mysterious? Will taking care of Timmy dampen newly married Meg and Michael's enthusiasm for starting a family of their own? And are any of Meg's relatives reliable enough to be trusted with a two-year-old---especially a two-year-old whose whereabouts might be of interest to some very dangerous people?
Donna Andrews once again proves her skill as one of the funniest, most entertaining mystery authors around.

A quirky & mysterious Meg Langslow book!
The 9th book in the Meg Langslow series finds Meg babysitting a friend's toddler. When the friend does not return as expected, Meg tries to solve the disappearance. Is there more to the disappearance than meets the eye? Will babysitting help or hinder in any decision of Meg & her husband Michael to start a family? Of course, Meg's zany family is ever present in the story but, in this book it is mainly the immediate family involved and not the whole eclectic crowd. Although there was an undercurrent of humour in the story, I did not find it contained as many laugh out loud moments as in some of the books. The scenes with the toddler were funny & it is obvious that the author understands both the joys & trials of childcare. Although the humour was understated, the mystery in the book was a bit more involved than in previous ones in the series & I appreciated the conclusion.by Anne on April 07, 2015

I always enjoy her books- a dash of mystery, lots of comedy, and the usual chaos barely contained by the "notebook that tells her when to breathe".by jmstrang on October 06, 2013

"My 5 year old fell in LOVE with this heart toting t.rex card! Small & perfect to give as a class valentine these were a HUGE hit!!! The picture inside was a great surprise for all her friends to find. This just fit her personality perfectly! Love! Thanks!!!"
"These cards are very cute for kids like my son who are into dinosaurs. As with the other cards I ordered, I couldn't fit the cards into provided envelopes because they were exactly the same size. Tiny prints reshipped the envelopes but unfortunately again the same size so I ended up cutting the cards myself. Otherwise, great cards and quality, excellent Customer service!"
"This Valentine's Day card with the cute face of my little enthusiastic "astronaut" was a huge hit for his first Valentine's Day party at School! I was afraid it would not arrive in time because my order wasn't processed for 4 days, but the shipping was very fast. The only problem with the order was that cards were exactly the same size as little envelopes provided and therefore didn't fit in them. After I called Customer Service they apologized for inconvinience and were so fair to refund me 25% on cards and promised to ship promptly envelopes one size bigger. The envelopes arrived the very next day but again the same size. At that point I didn't want to call them again, just cut myself all the cards for both of my boys and fit them into envelopes. Anyone who orders the cards should make sure the cards are cut properly to fit into envelopes! In short - super cute design, superb quality, excellent customer service!"
"My four year old picked this one out himself. I love that the design is not so pink and feminine looking, yet not so stereotypically "boy" looking either. I would have preferred that the font options came with capital letters for the names, because I didn't have time to customize, but the finished cards are still darling."
"My Daughter wanted these for the boys in the class although I think they are cute for both sexes! We received many compliments on these little cards! It was also great that they came pre-printed with my daughters name, it saved her from having to sign her name to 20+ cards!"

I have been using the Kodak Picture Adapter card for 3 years. It is good but I would not consider it breaking news. I use it with an IBM 770ED ThinkPad under Windows 2000 (and previously W-98 and W-98SE) without any problems. I have a Xircom fax/ethernet combo card in one slot and regularly incert and remove the Kodak adapter with no ill effects.

Glad to hear you've been using it successfully for so long. Maybe the whole conflict issue is with either our other PCMCIA cards, or with IBM thinkpads in general.

That is stunning, Netflix having exclusive rights to the online distribution of Star Wars, as well as great Disney movies (I've been jonesing to see 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea lately) is quite a coup.
This doesn't entirely make sense to me, but I suppose I'll go along with it. While Lucasfilm owns ESB and ROTJ, I always believed the original was still controlled by 20th Century Fox. This raises a lot of questions for me if Disney was able to exclusive offer streaming rights for the films. Hmm....
Lucas bought the rights to ANH back from Fox a while back, now all Fox has are the permanent ANH distribution rights (their distribution rights to all the sequels expires in 7 years). I don't know if Disney did a deal getting Fox to let them use those distribution rights in this Netflix deal, or if digital distribution was somehow not in Fox's perpetuity distribution deal.
Netflix seemed to be completely in the toilet just a year ago.
Really not digging the exclusive rights thing, not just in this instance. Having to sign up for multiple services is completely contrary to what the nature of the interwebs should be. Senator Stevens would be spinning in his grave if he knew that his series of tubes was being corrupted in this fashion. (Okay, the wording is silly, but exclusivity on the internet is becoming a serious concern.)
That's a very odd interpretation, Chux. These are not free ideas, they weren't free to produce, so why should they be freely distributed? Why should a producer of content give up their rights to that content simply so that consumers can get it across multiple platforms? The internet is great at sharing ideas, but sharing should be the right of the content creator - if you want your family photos distributed everywhere to everybody for any use, that's your right, but what if you DON'T want that?
I don't mean freely distributed. However, restricting the content to one provider is a bit sucktastic, since the providers don't offer an a la carte option. If all exclusive content is restricted to one provider, that gives them a monopoly; if it's spread among providers, it screws over people who pick the other providers.
One or two exclusives is one thing. But imagine if Hasbro signed a deal with Target to be the exclusive retailer for Hasbro toys. That would really suck hard for people who can't (or refuse to for unrelated reasons) shop at Target but want their action figures. Or how about if the new Star Wars movies would only be shown at a theater chain that's the largest overall, but is only in major cities?
Just seems to be shooting themselves in the foot a little bit to restrict the paid (emphasis: paid) outlets for their movies.

Eye of the Beholderby Jayne Ann Krentz
View All Available Formats & Editions
Jayne Ann Krentz has crafted "romantic suspense of the highest order" (Amazon.com) in twenty-two New York Times bestsellers, including her recent blockbuster, Flash. Now, she unearths secrets at a New Age resort, where a hard-edged businessman and a beautiful art expert make a tantalizing mind-body connection -- and where a killer threatens their piece of paradise.
Alexa Chambers has a flair for style, an eye for art -- and a reputation in tatters. An expert in Art Deco, she blew the whistle on an employer who was selling fakes to wealthy clients. Her payoff? No job and no prospects. Now she runs a shop in her hometown of Avalon, Arizona -- a hot spot for crystal devotees and sunset gazers. But gutsy, energetic Alexa has no intention of sitting still. She's ready to take risks to rebuild her career...and she secretly consults on an exquisite deco collection being installed at the new Avalon Resorts. Her scheme might just work -- if she can steer clear of the resort's owner, the enigmatic and possibly dangerous J. L. Trask.
Alexa was a scared teenager the last time she saw Trask, the man who accused her stepfather of murder. Insisting his dad's fatal car crash had been no accident, Trask vowed one day he'd come back to Avalon for revenge. Now, twelve years later, their meeting is inevitable. Their attraction is immediate. And their chances of bliss are infinitesimal.
Trask wants to piece together the past with Alexa's help -- and get closer to this dazzling deco diva. Alexa wants to protect her family -- and figure out Trask's real motivations. But when a killer emerges from the shadows, they have no choice but to team up to solve a deadly crime from long ago. As they trade sizzling sparks and snappy repartee loaded with sensual suggestion, their trail leads to a trendy spa called the Dimensions Institute, whose flaky denizens and strange atmosphere suggest there is more hidden there than meets the eye. They don't need a crystal ball to see that their survival -- and relationship -- depends on more than tantric breathing or a heavenly passion. They need a little help from a higher power: a true and trustworthy love.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Chapter One Seattle, Washington The present...
"Damn it, this isn't about opening another hotel, JL, it's about your obsession with revenge." Nathan planted his hands on the polished glass surface of the desk and scowled at Trask through the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses. "This is about what happened to Dad all those years ago. Admit it."
"For the last time, I'm going to Avalon on company business." Trask leaned back in the gray leather chair and steepled his fingers. "I thought I'd made that clear."
Only Nathan still called him by the initials, JL. To the rest of the company and the world he was simply Trask, president and CEO of Avalon Resorts, Inc. It had been that way for five years, ever since he had left his position with Carrington-Towne Hotels to go out on his own.
"I don't like it." Nathan shoved himself away from the desk and thrust his hands into the pockets of his trousers. He stalked to the window and stared moodily out at the soft rain that drizzled over Seattle. "You've been obsessed with that property down in Arizona ever since you managed to buy it from Carrington-Towne two years ago."
"I'm focused on it, not obsessed with it. There's a difference."
"There sure as hell is, and take it from me, your attitude toward this project definitely comes under the heading of obsession. There was no good reason for us to acquire the old Avalon Mansion in the first place."
"Yes, there was," Trask said. "It was a steal."
Nathan snorted. "Only because it's been a financial disaster for every hotel and resort development company that has ever tried to do anything with it. Dadwasn't the only one who went broke trying to make it work. Even Carrington-Towne decided it wasn't worth the cost of gutting the old mansion and turning it into a hotel."
"It won't be a disaster for us," Trask said with absolute certainty. He was not the dreamer Harry had been, but he knew that he was very good at the hotel business. "Dad always said that Avalon would eventually become the next Sedona. He was right. He was twelve years ahead of his time, but he was right."
Nathan raised his eyes to the ceiling, apparently seeking patience from on high. "I'm not arguing the point. And I'm not saying that the new resort won't fly. Unlike Dad, you can make it work."
"Damn right, I can make it work." Trask felt no particular obligation to be modest about what was a simple, incontrovertible fact. "I may not be the creative type, but I know a good fantasy when I see one. And that's what we're in the business of selling. Fantasy."
Avalon, Arizona, with its surreal landscape of sculpted red rocks, mysterious sandstone canyons, and shatteringly spectacular sunsets, had caught the attention of artists, writers, retirees, and the New Age crowd several years ago.
A handful of small inns and bed-and-breakfasts as well as a trendy metaphysical retreat called the Dimensions Institute had operated successfully for several years in Avalon.
The new Avalon Resort & Spa, however, would be the first large, world-class hotel designed to attract the increasing number of tourists who had begun to discover the region.
"Avalon is going to be very hot in the next few years." Trask watched the cold rain come down outside the window and thought of the heat of that Arizona night twelve years ago. "We'll be there to ride the wave."
"I'm not doubting your instincts for this kind of thing." Nathan glanced uneasily at him. "It's just that I have a feeling this property is different from the others for you. The closer we get to the opening, the weirder you get."
"There's nothing weird about my going down for the official opening of the resort. I go to every opening."
"Sure, but you don't make plans to hang around for a month or two afterward."
"You know that I've been thinking that it might be a good idea for me to spend more time in the field." Trask smiled. "What's the point of having an office and an owner's suite at each of the properties if I don't use them once in a while?"
Nathan swung around abruptly, intelligent eyes narrowed behind the lenses of his glasses. "Let me handle the opening down in Avalon, JL."
Trask tapped his fingers together very gently as he considered the best way to deal with his brother.
Nathan had graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in architecture. He was the creative power-house responsible for the unique design concepts of each Avalon Resort.
Their mother, who had died shortly after Nathan was born, had bequeathed not only her artistic flair but also her light brown hair and warm hazel eyes to her youngest son.
Women considered Nathan good-looking. He had never lacked for dates. But he had been politely oblivious to every woman who had come along until he had fallen like the proverbial ton of bricks for Sarah Howe. The two had been married within four months of meeting each other. Trask had had his reservations, the chief one being that he considered Nathan too young to marry.
But, then, what did he know about marriage? His own had been a carefully considered decision made with the same attention to detail he applied to all his business affairs. It had proved to be a spectacular failure.
Nathan and Sarah, however, seemed blissfully happy. Any day now they would become parents.
Parents. It struck Trask as very strange to think of his little brother becoming a father.
From out of nowhere, he had a sudden, searing memory of standing with Nathan at Harry's funeral. That was when it had hit him for the first time that Nathan was now his responsibility. It would be his job to make sure that his younger brother had a roof over his head, went to college, and got started in life.
Trask knew he would never forget the raw fear that had descended on him at that moment. He had just come from the lawyer's office, where it had been explained to him that Harry had died on the brink of bankruptcy. Every major possession left, including the house in Seattle, was in jeopardy.
With an effort of will, Trask blanked the screen inside his head. He wondered if he should be worried about the fact that the old images were coming back with increasing frequency.
He had thought that the disturbing mental snapshots had all faded to distant memories. They had not troubled him much in recent years, perhaps because he had been consumed with one major crisis after another. Back at the beginning there had been the basic problem of keeping Nathan and himself afloat financially. Simultaneously he'd had to deal with his brother's grief, as well as his own mixed bag of anger and guilt.
When the dust had settled after the bankruptcy, he had focused on his long-term goal, the creation of Avalon Resorts, Inc. He'd continued to work construction for a couple of years, the kind of hard, heavy jobs that had financed his and later Nathan's education. And then he'd gone to work for Carrington-Towne. His success with the dynamic hotel conglomerate had helped him launch Avalon Resorts, Inc.
The business had been a godsend in ways other than financial. It had provided an outlet for the restless energy that burned within him. It had forced the shards of memories to the distant corners of his mind.
But now the unpleasant pictures were becoming sharper and more vivid again. All of them had one thing in common. They were connected to his father's death.
He didn't need a shrink to tell him that it was the plan to return to Avalon that was causing the images and the guilt that went with them to flash across the screen in his mind.
Nathan stared glumly out the window. "I don't like this, JL. I wish you weren't going down there. I've got a bad feeling about it."
"You know Glenda wants me there. She says she's pulled in a lot of media because of the hotel's art collection, and she wants to take advantage of it."
"I know." Nathan massaged the back of his neck. "We'll get a tremendous amount of press out of that collection."
"You'd better be right. When I think of what we paid that consultant..."
Nathan smiled wryly. "Edward Vale was worth every penny. He's one of the best corporate art consultants in the country. He's got contacts throughout the art world, and that's what it takes to pull together a great corporate art collection. Contacts."
"All I care about is that the company gets its money's worth."
"Does it ever worry you that you might be a little too focused on the bottom line, JL?"
Trask contemplated that briefly. "No."
"We're talking about art here. There are reasons other than the bottom line for putting together a great collection."
"Not for a corporation."
"What about the prestige factor?" Nathan swept out a hand as he warmed to his topic. "What about good corporate citizenship? Responsibility to the community?"
Trask grunted.
"What about the knowledge that Avalon Resorts, Inc., will be doing its share to make a fine collection of art and antiques available for viewing by thousands of people who might not otherwise have the opportunity? What about the duty to preserve and protect some of the most interesting objets d'art of the early twentieth century for generations to come?"
"We operate hotels. Bookings are the bottom line."
Nathan gave him an exasperated look. "I'm not worried about the collection, I'm worried about your fixation with the new resort. I want you to swear to me on a stack of Avalon Resorts quarterly reports that you're not going back for revenge."
"I'm going back to open the hotel that Dad dreamed of creating in Avalon," Trask said softly.
He did not tell Nathan about the private investigator he had hired six months ago. He knew the information would only fuel his brother's concern.
He was not going back for revenge, Trask thought. He was going back to get the truth.
After he had the answers to his questions there would be plenty of time to think about revenge.

This is an ok story, but why on earth would I pay 18.00 plus for a five year old story when I can pick up this book at any bookstore in town for next to nothing used? Get a grip Barnes and Nobles!!!
I love this book. I stayed up all night just to finish it. Alexa Chambers is defendly a strong female character and can hold her own. Trask is one of those silent and dangerous types, but ends up softening for Alexa in the end. Love this book and this will not be the last of Jayne Ann Krentz books that I read.
The whole murder/suspense thing was pretty well done and with lots of plot twists. The art world background was pretty interesting. The "hop into bed as quickly as possible" felt awfully contrived this time. Not a bad tale, and does hold interest through most of the book. See publisher's blurb for more clues. The narrator did good character differentiation, but the intonation of the MC sounded more like an irritating early teen.

Sinar, the legendary Swiss company that pioneered the use of digital imaging technology in the professional photography market, is bringing to market its much-anticipated Sinar Hy6 medium format digital camera system. The Sinar Hy6, which received the Photokina Star 2006 award for most outstanding new product, is the result of collaboration between Sinar, the technology giant Jenoptik and Franke & Heidecke. Designed to capture images using both digital and conventional film backs, the Hy6 offers photographers a true 6x6 cm medium-format size with the flexibility of a 4.5x6 cm camera. The Sinar Hy6/Sinarback eMotion 54LV will have a suggested catalog price of $30,500.

"The Sinar Hy6 embodies the technological know-how, precision engineering and manufacturing of three world-renowned companies whose single objective was to create a medium-format camera system that is intuitive in design and second to none in performance," said Cathy Strobel, President, Sinar Bron Imaging.

The Sinar Hy6 can be operated either by using the controls on the camera or remotely via computer by using the Sinar CaptureShop software, a key feature for studio photographers. An integrated LC display on the rotating control grip allows photographers to see and read settings from nearly any angle. This is especially important for photographers working from the computer.

JLM: Beverly's Great Buy For Lunch
Jamie Lynn Morgan: I have had good and bad meals at Dockside. Beverly's for lunch was worth the price. Tito's has always been good and when the Iron Horse charges me $9.00 for a hamburger the prices are comparable. Bonsai Bistro (also now part of the Hagadone restaurant group) is great every time. Haven't been to Beachhouse in forever, but last time food was so-so and service was marginal. Been meaning to go to Cedars, but have yet to make it here. Have only heard good things though. Last stay at Resort was for daughters 16th birthday and the room was great, extra touches they gave us (because I had told them it was for her birthday) were excellent, and even received an upgraded room for same price as what I had originally booked. I do keep in mind that it was March and not the height of the tourist season, so they probably have more room to work with you then.
Question: Which Hagadone Hospitality property is your favorite to frequent?

Product QuestionsAsk a Question
Ask Your Own Question
- Hi,
Since this model doesn't include explosive strength as an available training program, can this model benefit a sprinters explosive strength? Primarily the fast twitch muscle fibers, if so how?
- Thank you for Contacting Compex USA. You will still gain benefits as a sprinter as the Resistance program will recruit Fast Twitch muscle, as well as the Strength Program will recruit the more Explosive Strength Fibers as well. I have attached the link to our manual program descriptions to learn more about what each setting can do for you. https://www.compexusa.com/user-manual/program-descriptions
- Hi,
- I own a Fit 3.0 model - does it have an oxygenation function or similar feature?
- European Compex products, such as the Fit 3.0 are different than the US versions as they also provide pain management. The Pre-warm up program does increase blood flow that oxygenates the muscles prior to a workout.
- Hello, I just started working out and getting fit but sometimes with my schedule it's a bit hard to fit in gym days.. Right now I'm going three times a week but I'm not seeing much results. .... I was recommended to check out this site to see if I was interested, which I am but I'm unsure as to which one to get?
- For a frequent work out schedule, the Compex Performance Muscle Stimulator, would offer 5 levels of progression to help you achieve optimal performance .
- I just ordered compex proformance muscle simulator how many sets of pads come with the unit? Or do I have to order those extra?
- Compex Performance US Kit includes: Compex Performance US Muscle Stimulator, Battery Charger, CD with User Manual, Electrode Placement Guidebook, Carrying Case, Easy Snap Electrode Lead wires (set of 4), 2"x4" Easy Snap Gel Electrodes (2 packs of 2) and 2"x2" Easy Snap Gel Electrodes (2 packs of 4)
- how is recommended use before my regular routine or during?
- When using during work out we highly suggest you consult with a professional trainer first. It may be use before work out to help warm up the muscles and after to help flush any lactic acids and speed up the recovery process.
- Can it be used after workouts with any type of setting?
- We do recommend you use our active recovery, after every work out this would help get rid of your lactic acid, and relax your tensed muscles.
- What type of warranty this product have?
- The Compex Performance US, is covered by a two year warranty (3 years if you register your device at www.compexusa.com/productregistration) .
- Hi,
I purchased this unit after my doctor recommended buying an Electrical muscle stimulator for home use due to my atrophied quadriceps after knee surgery (5 months ago). After researching some units, I decided to go with a Compex one.
Now I see that it is not to be used on atrophied muscles? Isn't this an electrical muscle stimulator?
I haven't heard of an electrical muscle stimulator not to be used on atrophied muscles. How is Compex different is this regard?
Why should not be used in atrophied muscles? Is this because of a safety issue or simply because compex can't assure that it will strengthen a wasted muscle?
- The Compex is intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. It is to be used by adults only. The Compex is not intended for adjunctive therapy in the treatment of medical diseases and conditions of any kind. None of the Compex stimulation programs are designed for injured or disease afflicted muscles. Its use on such muscles is contraindicated. The work imposed on the muscles by the Compex Sport Elite programs is definitely not suitable for rehabilitation and physiotherapy. The Compex electrical impulses allow the triggering of action potentials on motoneurones of motor nerves (excitations). These excitations of motoneurones are transmitted to the muscle fibers via the motor endplate where they generate mechanical muscle fiber responses that correspond to muscle work. Depending on the parameters of the electrical impulses (pulse frequency, duration of contraction, duration of rest, total session duration), different types of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated muscles. The Compex may therefore be considered a technique of muscle training, not rehab
- Hi,
- If I have tendonitis in my shoulders would this machine help with that or is it the other type of machine that is used for pt. if so would it be ideal for me to use this while I take some time off of doing shoulder lifts so my tendonitis can heal. And also which model would be best for that purpose.
- The Compex will not help with shoulder pain but you can use it instead of working out in the gym until your shoulder injury heals. All of the units have strength programs. The Edge has 2, the Performance has 3 and the Elite has 4.
- How can I order a replacement charger for my professional unit?
- Yes, you can order replacement chargers here: https://www.compexusa.com/compex-charger-sport-elite-performance-edge-us.html
- I just purchased a new Compex Performance unit. The instructions indicate that I should insert a rechargable battery pack. However, there was no rechargable battery pack that came with the unit. Is the battery pack supposed to be included with the unit?
- Paul
There should have been a battery either in the device or in the box with it
- Are you able to use the complex EMS on pectoralis and other chest muscles?
- You do not want to place an electrical stimulation over the heart therefore we do not have any programs for the the chest muscles.
- Is there a program for people doing crossfit, weight training and running? How would I use the compex unit? On days I don't hit the gym. I am usually at the gym 5-6 times a week. I was thinking of the getting the one with 5 programs. Is there one for weight lifting and running?
- You would be thinking of the Performance Unit. That Units programs are broken down below.
Performance Unit - Training Programs (5)
(1) Warmup Pre-Warm Up
(3) Strength Endurance / Resistance / Strength
(1) Recovery Active Recovery
It has 3 strength programs one for endurance(running), Resistance and Strength(Weight Lifting). there are sport specific program guides on the CompexUSA website.
- I am looking at one of the Compex models and also the Marc Pro - can you tell me what the differences are - since both are muscle stimulators? I had done a lot of running in the past but I also had a lot a injuries as well and the last few made me stop running- stressed fracture, bone spur and misaligned hip and bad knee. So I started weight training program to lose weight and tone the muscles. Now I want to take it to the next level of improving strength - so I am doing something very closed to crossfit - so back squat, front squat , pull ups(suck at it), hand stand pushups - shoulder strength needed - etc...so i need a device that will strengthen my muscle groups and muscle recovery faster - If i chose compex, which one would u suggest- because the sports illustrated says nothing about weight training
- The FDA has cleared Compex for the following (6) indications:
1. Increased Muscle Strength/Density
2. Increased Muscle Size
3. Improved Endurance (V02 max)
4. Improved Explosive Strength
5. Increased Speed of Muscle Recovery
6. Ability to Warm-up Muscle
The other device you were looking at is mainly for recovery after workouts. Our device is used in conjunction with your strength training and can be used in place of being in the gym one day. Here are the different units and the programs that they offer:
Sport Elite Unit - Training Programs (9)
(2) Warm-up Pre-Warm Up / Potentiation
(4) Strength Endurance / Resistance / Strength / Explosive Strength
(3) Recovery Active Recovery / Recovery Plus / Massage
Performance Unit - Training Programs (5)
(1) Warmup Pre-Warm Up
(3) Strength Endurance / Resistance / Strength
(1) Recovery Active Recovery
Edge Unit - Training Programs (3)
(2) Strength Endurance / Resistance
(1) Recovery Active Recovery
- Is it possible to use one of the functions and change the frequency on the edge to duplicate a pre-warmup setting that is on the performance or elite??
As well is the resistance program similar to the strength program.?
- All of the programs on each unit are pre-programmed and cannot be changed.
- Is it possible to use one of the functions and change the frequency on the edge to duplicate a pre-warmup setting that is on the performance or elite??
- Which setting would I put it on if I wanted to use compex DURING my plyometric workout?
- The Performance does not have an explosive strength program so you could use the Strength Program.
- I want to build muscle and sculpt my abs without lifting weights or doing painful crunches, will compex performance can make my muscle grow without working out?
- No, it is meant to be used in addition to working out.
- I want to build muscle and sculpt my abs without lifting weights or doing painful crunches, will compex performance can make my muscle grow without working out?
- I am looking into beginning an electrical muscle stimulation regiment while I work. Can I expect muscle tone & gains (hypertrophy & strength) after weeks of use? I would like to use this in multiple areas (legs, chest, back, and abdominal). Will the Performance or Sport Elite allow me to stay active while in use?
- Compex enables you to achieve enhanced muscle performance. With Compex you can...
Build muscle strength and size
Improve power
Increase endurance
Optimize muscle recovery
Get the ultimate muscle warm up
In order to achieve the full benefits of the Compex you should work out on your own as well to achieve what you are calling hypertrophy, The Compex alone will not do it. Because this is used in conjunction with training you can be active while using it.
- Can the compex us be charged in Europe and other countries? I have competitions around the world.
- Unfortunately you may need adapters to use the charger outside of the US and we do not carry those items.
- Which one do you recommend for acl rehabilitation?
- The Compex Units vary by Programs Available on each unit. Please see the link below for more details and differences among the units. https://www.compexusa.com/muscle-stimulators
- Can the complex edge help muscle soreness on the shoulder? And can it also help regain muscle strength after surgery?
- The compex edge offers the following programs; resistance, active recovery, and endurance. The Benefits of this product are improved strength, endurance, speed, and power.
The Active Recovery mode is what you would want to use to help recover after a workout. This mode will help flush out the lactic acid from the muscle.
- Hi, I'm interested in the Compex Performance kit, but since I don't live in the US I only travel there once or twice a year, I would like to know if I will need to get any other accessory, gel, etc
- If you are in Europe, you can purchase a European model. As far as the Compex Performance Kit, everything you need is included, you might want to invest in additional electrode pads for when the ones you have wear out over time.
- I would like to know if all of the compex have the health program as well, the one that includes TENS, muscle relaxation etc
- Our 3 Compex products contain different features with our basic model (the EDGE) to our SPORT ELITE, which offers the full line of features. We recommend you contact our product support team at 888-405-3251 to discuss live in further detail your specific needs with a product specialist. You can also visit www.compexusa.com for more detailed product information.
- I just bought the Compex performance model - the person who recommended it also recommended I get the electrode gel (which I did). How do I apply the gel?
- You would apply the gel on the pads and then stick the pads on your body.
- What is the maximum number of Milli amps on your Compex Units?
- The muscle contraction is expressed in Hertz per second. The maximum output is 120 Hz.
- Can you use Muscular electrostimulation during treatment and recovery from injuries: sprains and torn ligaments, fractures, and others to maintain and restore muscle
- Compex will help to build and strengthen muscles and the recovery programs will help to increase blood flow and circulation, release endorphins (which are your body's natural pain killer) and will help to promote overall muscle relaxation.
- Are there different versions of the Compex Performance available? I've come across the Compex Performance US and Compex Performance Mi Ready while researching Compex on various sites around the internet. They appear similar, but have different program listings.
- No, the US version of the Compex Performance has five programs. http://www.shopcompex.com/compex-performance-us.html
The Compex Performance Mi Ready is only available in the European market - as it is not FDA cleared here in the United states.
- Can you set up custom programs on the Compex units, or do you have to use one of the programs that it comes with?
- Each unit is pre-programmed and only performs the programs provided.
Elite (Pre-Warm Up / Potentiation / Endurance / Resistance / Strength / Explosive Strength / Active Recovery / Recovery Plus / Massage)
Performance (Pre-Warm Up / Endurance / Resistance / Strength / Active Recovery)
- Are the compex units FDA approved?
- Alll units sold on this site are cleared by the FDA
- I live in Egypt and I want to know how I can get this device.
- The nearest Compex Dealer would be:
Medtechnica Ltd., in Tel Aviv Israel

You can send them an email directly from the web site:
- Do any of the Compex stimulators have an external USB port?
- At this time, the Compex units do not have a USB port.
- My left knee has been bone-on-bone for over 30 years after two hockey injury surgeries (both MCLs snapped / cartilage removed). I walk two strong Huskies 3-4 miles a day up and down hills, and some days the pain is severe. I want to strengthen my quad to protect the joint better and if possible get some pain relief. I've considered an ARPwave treatment program. Which of your products might help? Also, are European models like mi-Fitness going to be available soon?
- Sorry to hear about your knee injury. The various strength programs found on Compex will help to build muscle mass as these programs contract the muscle. The Active Recovery program will help increase blood flow to the area, clear lactic acid, promote muscle relaxation and it also helps to release endorphins, which are your body's natural painkillers.
- I recently acquired a Compex Performance US Muscle Stimulator. I wish to know if by acquiring the accesory "mi-SENSOR" i would be able to use the mi-SCAN, mi-TENS and mi-RANGE functions.
- The mi functions are only available on European models.
- Hi, I play basketball and i am wondering how many inches will i gain on my vertical? Also how long does it take for results?
- The purpose of the Compex Sport Elite & Compex Sport Explosive Strength program is to increase the speed with which maximum muscle strength can be supplied. It is designed to improve performance in sporting activities of very brief duration such as jumps, sprints and throwing. Your vertical inch gain depends on your genetics, how often you train and the intensity you train at. Results like any other strength training program can be seen in 4-8 weeks.
- What's the difference between this muscle stimulator and a TEN's unit?
- TENS the acronym for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. A TENS unit is prescribed for both acute pain and chronic pain conditions and sends electrical impulses to certain parts of the body to block pain signals from being transmitted to the brain. It is used at the sensory level and does not cause muscle contraction.
Compex Muscle Stimulators (EMS) when used for strength training sends a signal to the motor nerve of the muscle causing it to contract and build muscle mass. The Active Recovery program uses specific low level frequencies to increase blood flow, remove lactic acid, release endorphins and promote muscle relaxation.
- Are there any long-term risks associated with muscle stimulation?
- No. Muscular electrostimulation and electrotherapy in general have been practiced for many decades with no reported problems. Compex also holds an important liability policy.
- How do you insert the charger into Compex Performance US? I'm not sure where to plug the AC adapter in on the unit.
- Remove all cable leads from the device and make sure the power pin is aligned along the bottom curved portion of the port entrance. See diagram for detail on this page: https://www.compexusa.com/faq/
- I'm trying to decide if I should get the Performance US or Sport Elite...What do you recommend for a body builder who trains 6 days a week?
- The Compex Muscle Stimulator Comparison Chart describes the differences between each Compex unit. Please visit the following https://www.compexusa.com/muscle-stimulators.
- I want to know if the instruction manual is available in French. Also, how long can one set of Compex easy snaps last?
- The Compex Sport Elite & Performance US manuals are available in English, French and Spanish.The electrodes can be used depending on your skin type, between 15 and 30 times. Some 30 applications are possible on skin that is clean, lotion free, sweat free, non-greasy and shaved.
- I'm debating if I should get the Performance of the Sport. What do I get with the Performance that I don't get with the Sport? BTW - I'm a triathlete and I train 5 days a week...
- The Compex Muscle Stimulator Comparison Chart describes the differences between each Compex unit. Please visit the following https://www.compexusa.com/muscle-stimulators for comparison between each Compex muscle stimulator.

Compex brings a whole new challenge into my trainingReviewed by: ANDY POTTS - TriathleteAs an athlete and a person I'm extremely interested in how I can get the most out of myself.

Is anyone else as curious as I am?"Posted on September 27, 2016Would you recommend this product?Definitely yes
Recovery, Rehab, and Strength Building!Reviewed by: KILIAN JORNET BURGADA - Trail RunningAt the beginning I used Compex primarily to recover after races and hard training, and then I discovered it had other uses and actually after some injuries, I started to use it for my rehabilitation, to rebuild muscle and joints. From there I started to use it also for strength training. So from using it only for recovery I now I use it for rehab and strength.Posted on September 26, 2016Would you recommend this product?Definitely yes
Stimulate and rebuild atrophied muscleReviewed by: LUKAS VERZBICAS - Triathlon ChampionRegular use of Compex allowed me to stimulate and rebuild atrophied muscle from what was diagnosed as a career ending injury. My continued use has allowed my body to recover from the intense and prolonged training regiment with decreased muscle fatigue. It has effectively improved my overall performance.Posted on September 6, 2016Would you recommend this product?Definitely yes
Important part of my regular recovery routineReviewed by: LEAH KIRCHMANN - Optum Pro Cycling TeamCompex is an important part of my regular recovery routine as a cyclist. I find it especially beneficial to use during long transfers between races.Posted on September 6, 2016Would you recommend this product?Definitely yes
I really can't thank you enough!Reviewed by: JEREMY DURRIN - Optum Pro Cycling TeamThank you both very much for getting back to me so quickly! I got your emails just before getting on a plane yesterday, which meant I was able to run the recommended programs for the whole flight (4 hours!) and during layovers. I can feel a qualitative difference already and will try getting back on the bike this afternoon. I really can't thank you enough! (Actually running Active Recovery as we speak).Posted on September 6, 2016Would you recommend this product?Definitely yes
I LOVE your product!Reviewed by: BRIANNA WALLE Team Optum - 2013 3rd in the Nature Valley Grand Prix Prologue and QOM jerseyI use Compex as part of my Recovery routine, especially after hard workouts and races. I most frequently use the settings 'Active Recovery' immediate after and 'Recovery Plus' a few hours after hard workouts. I'll often use the 'Recovery Plus' setting the evening before a hard workout. My legs feel more relaxed after. Just put the feet up and relax!Posted on September 6, 2016Would you recommend this product?Definitely yes
Amazing product and the most professional company I've ever delt withReviewed by: CalebOk so this review is partually about the product and partually about the customer service. When I first placed my order I had an issue with my credit card being declined with was an issue in my end. When I called the customer service line to find out if I was going to be charged twice for the same product the lady in the other end of the line blew my mind. First off I've never spoke with a person in customer service that was so respectful in the way she spoke with me, not to mention that she had all the answers and I didn't even have to provide any info for her to know about my order. She had my account pulled up as soon as I called and knew my name and exactly what I ordered. I've never been more please at the end of a phone call than I was at that moment. Second thing is this product is a thing if beauty. It screams quality the second you open the box and put you hands on it. It also works like a dream. I am an amuature body builder and this product has helped me take my training and recovery to a level I never knew was possible.

Great product but careful with PadsReviewed by: MikeyBBought this mainly as a recovery, post injury, and prehab device. I am a post collegiate athelete who still plays and competes on the field and through crossfit.
Recovery- This thing really helps to assist in loosening up my legs especially in combo with stretching and foam rolling. Use it almost nightly before bed
Post Injury- Tore my ACL, MCL, and meniscus in college and my quad/hammy never recovered even close to 80%. The strength and resistance programs really help. I am truly sore the next day after cranking up the intensity.
The only warning is with the electrodes. The snaps will pull out very easily if you do not take your time but CS sent me out new ones right away. Make sure to place the pads on the film and let cool then use your nails to disconnect the snap and they will last a lot longer.Posted on September 11, 2015
Compex Performance StimulatorReviewed by: KIEFI have had the Compex Performance Muscle Stimulator since April. I am a very active 61 year old that still coaches high school baseball and I play in an over 55 baseball league once a week! Not softball! I have numerous problems with my back, torn hamstring, and 3 surgeries on my pitching shoulder including torn rotator cuff. I wouldn't be able to participate if I didn't have the stimulator to help me relax and recover from all my activities. I use the stimulator 4 to 5 nights a week. I will run the programs 3 to 5 times a night with great success. The only thing I feel that could be improved is the directions on how to use the device. I have had to call to find out if I can do certain things. The pictures do help, but I had a difficult time figuring out how to start the machine and run it correctly!Posted on August 4, 2014
