BEIJING—China's economy is showing fresh signs of strength as a preliminary gauge of manufacturing activity rose to a 14-month high in December.
The flash reading of the HSBC China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index showed manufacturing activity has expanded for a second straight month, adding to a raft of recent data signaling that the world's second-largest economy is steadily recovering.
"It confirmed that China's ongoing growth recovery is gaining momentum, mainly driven by domestic demand conditions," Qu Hongbin, chief China economist for HSBC Holdings PLC, said in a statement.
The reading also pointed to solid economic growth in the fourth quarter.
Nomura economist Zhang Zhiwei said the PMI reading reinforces his view that China's economy "is on track for a strong recovery," with growth likely to top 8% in the fourth quarter.
The government has targeted a 7.5% rise in the economy this year. Gross domestic product grew 7.4% in the third quarter from a year earlier, its slowest pace since the first quarter of 2009.
The preliminary reading of HSBC's PMI for December rose to 50.9, compared with a final tally of 50.5 in November, HSBC said Friday. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
The result followed a surprisingly strong reading for industrial output in November. Production in expanded 10.1% from a year earlier during the month, the fastest pace since March. Output rose 9.6% in October, according to official data.

Critic Reviews for Beneath The Planet Of The Apes
All Critics (23) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (13) | DVD (5)
This first sequel to Planet of the Apes isn't bad, but already shows the way the original conception was to degenerate into routine comic strip adventure.
The best parts of the film are also the places where it's most ineffective as a sequel.
Social commentary was not one of this glum film's strong points.
annoying sequel
[A] quickie follow-up that vainly tries to imitate the look of the original on an obviously limited budget, and for the most part, eschews the philosophical, social, and racial subtext of the first film in favor of straightforward shoot-em-up.
Audience Reviews for Beneath The Planet Of The Apes
In one of the biggest sequel letdowns I have ever seen, "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" follows another astronaut who crash lands on the same planet as Taylor from the first film while searching for him. He learns about the planet's true identity very quickly and the first half just feels like it borrows heavily from the script of the first. It is very lazy screenwriting and when they eventually do explore beneath the planet, it just becomes bizarre and laughable. I did not care what happened to any of these characters, because their motivations are manipulated throughout and you cannot latch onto anything that is happening. I really wanted to like this film, but it just flat out drops the ball. Terrible writing, horrible effects, and lukewarm performances, "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" is not worth your time at all. Although I do applaud a few nice touches, this film is a piece of garbage.
Super Reviewer
Decent first sequel to the Planet Of The Apes. Beneath The Planet of the Apes isn't as solid as the first film in the series, which is by far one of the all time Sci-fi classics of the genre. This sequel had a lot of potential, unfortunately compared to the first film; this is a film that is quite disappointing considering how good the first film is. This film is mildly entertaining. But like I stated, this film is disappointed especially for the fact that it follows a timeless classic film. The filmmakers tried to outdo the first film with this film, and ended up with mixed results. The film is entertaining, and has some decent performances, but overall there's something missing to really make this an awesome Apes movie. The films story could have been better, and this is a step down from the first film. Despite the good cast, director Ted Post has a disappointing script to work with, and can't direct this good cast into doing a good film. The result is a decent entertaining film. But right from the start, you realize that Beneath The Planet Of The Apes isn't a standout sequel, and it's only decent, never great. This film could have been a wonderful sequel, but the studio seemed to rush to produce a sequel to cash in on the success of the first, and instead of taking their time with a great idea, they only did half a good job, and the scripts limitation definitely show on-screen.

- Description
ElectroBraid® T-Post Cap Insulators - White
Safety is a major reason horse owners choose the ElectroBraid® Horse Fence System. Customers who use T-Posts when installing their ElectroBraid® fence can make their installation as safe as possible for their horses by using ElectroBraid® T-Post Cap Insulators to cover the sharp top edge of T-Posts.
- Reduces risk of injury by protecting animals from the jagged top of T-Posts
- Provides insulator for top strand of ElectroBraid® rope
- Fits easily and securely on Wood Posts and 133, 125, and 101 size T-Posts
- UV-protected to resist weathering, even under the harshest conditions
- 10 White insulator caps per bag
Protect horses and livestock from injury
The jagged, sharp edges at the top of T-posts can be a danger to animals. They can cause unnecessary spearing and cutting injuries with associated suffering and expense of veterinary treatment. That's why ElectroBraid® T-Post Cap Insulators are the perfect choice to protect horses, show cattle and livestock enclosed by permanent or temporary T-Post enclosures.
Dual purpose, easy installation
ElectroBraid® T-Post Cap Insulators not only cover the top of T-posts, they also provide an insulator that secures the top strand of your ElectroBraid® fence system. We designed ElectroBraid® T-Post Cap Insulators so you can install them simply and easily—without hardware! The Caps fit snugly and easily on wood posts and 133, 125, and 101 size T-Posts.
Unique latching design
ElectroBraid® T-Post Cap Insulators feature a latch that accommodates all ElectroBraid® and snaps securely, but allows the ElectroBraid® to float freely in all directions. And, like our T-Post Line Insulators, the caps can be used with not only Braid™, but also with all fence wire except poly tape. (Not for use with high tensile fencing).
Rugged and UV-protected
Durable, ElectroBraid® T-Post Cap Insulators are UV-protected to resist weathering, even under the harshest conditions. They feature excellent insulating characteristics and a large shield to prevent shorting.
Why does my fence need insulators?
Electrified fence must not come in contact with fence posts or gates because this can "short out" the fence. Insulators that do not conduct electricity are used to attach the electrified fence to posts, gates or trees.
How to Install T-Post Line Posts?
Layout all your posts and mark each one for the depth to drive the post and the location of each insulator. Using the first strand of Braid™ as a sight line, use a post pounder to set your T-Posts, and then attach T-post cap insulators and T-post insulators.
(IMPORTANT: be sure your T-Posts are correctly oriented. The flat side of the T-Post should be on the inside of the paddock so the Braid™ will be on the inside of the paddock when attached to the insulators.)
At what point during fencing installation do I install insulators?
After you have set all corner, end and gate posts, and you have correctly braced them, you are ready to fasten insulators to the posts. You will need to install insulators on all posts, including brace posts.
How many line post insulators do I need?
- Count the number of line posts and multiply by the number of strands. This is the number of Line Post Insulators you will need for Line Posts.
- Depending on the type of posts you plan to use for corner posts, brace posts and ends posts, you may need additional insulators of a different style. Choices include ElectroBraid® Roller Insulators and ElectroBraid®Heavy-Duty Line Post Insulators in addition to T-Post Insulators. Refer to your ElectroBraid® Instruction Manual for complete details.
ElectroBraid® is Americas #1 Horse Fence - Safe, Secure and Simple to install
ElectroBraid® Braid will not rust, rot, lose strength due to sunlight or weathering, break when installed as a permanent fence or prove defective in workmanship or material. Any reel of ElectroBraid® Braid that is defective will be replaced at no charge to the purchaser. This warranty is in effect for 25 years from the date of purchase.

CommentAdd a Comment
The farther into this book you read, the more disappointing it becomes. Obviously, Egan researched extensively, but then she couldn't resist the urge to throw in unnecessary information. At the same time, her characters have no more originality than a B noir film, and her plot is packed with as many unlikely adventures as a romance potboiler. (Really? A Houdini-like escape after a crime syndicate tosses someone chained to a concrete weight off a boat?)
It's not convincing as historical fiction, with Egan pointedly making her primary characters stand out as lone exemplars of more modern attitudes about race and sexual orientation.
And where was the editor, who should absolutely have insisted on deleting passages like this:
"I'll sure miss Frisco," Roger said.
"So shall I," Eddie said. "Although it turns out only sailors call it Frisco."
"San Francisco," Roger said, laying down the words in a voice that hadn't fully broken yet. "She's a hell of a town."
This is a work of historical fiction set in the 1930s and 1940s in New York City. It tells the stories of two families whose lives interconnect. I found it an enjoyable read although at times Egan's research was a little too obvious.
This book is coming up for my book group discussion; the others in the group have liked it. One reader said it was good but there were quite a few passages that could have been shortened. The book promises to touch on a lot of fascinating topics - women working in the Naval Shipyards, illegal clubs during the war, disability, race relations, unconventional female characters... I found the book so boring, that I felt heroic for actually having made it through the first hundred pages, hoping the story would get more interesting. It didn't. I skimmed through the rest of it, and found the details of Anna's relationship with Dexter unnerving. Would not recommend it.
Like her previous acclaimed novel, "A Visit from the Goon Squad," this was hyped, but ended up being really boring, despite the Brooklyn shipyard in World War 2 setting.
I miss the days when editors had broad general knowledge, and could correct silly mistakes like wine being matured in pine barrels (yikes!), or Intensive Care Units existing in the 1930's... Aside from that, there was not a single character I found credible. Same with the dialogue. One test of a novel, historical or otherwise, is "do I care about these characters?" And this time the answer is an unequivocal NO.
Did anyone notice EVERY character, including the 3rd-person narrator, spoke in exactly the same voice, with those odd contractions? He'd no phone. They've nine children. Etc. And the one distinctive voice, the bosun on the merchant ship... loses his voice. Mostly. Sort of.
Goon Squad was imaginative and distinctive. We can only hope JE got the diving research out of her mind and can return to writing worth reading. This one was a waste of many hours...
I have the same comments as many, well researched, but it really should have ended 2/3 of the way through when one of the characters is no longer around...and an entire other POV felt like it was from another book. I only stayed till the end to see if a deservedly sad ending awaited these characters who made all made bad decisions...
I can't say I was expecting a book like this from Jennifer Egan. I'm still not sure what to think of it, but her characters are well-developed and interesting enough to keep me reading.
I really enjoyed this book. Couldn't put it down. Jennifer Egan had a way of weaving the characters of this novel in and out of the story that left you wanting to know what would happen to them next. I had to restrain myself from peeking ahead to see what was going to happen and am so glad I resisted that urge. I will be reading her other books for sure!
Did anyone read this to the end? I wonder. After a while it resembled a radio program you're only half listening to but of which still can follow the story line. I resorted to reading only dialogue and found it helped move the story along. Did the writer get paid by the page or did the Pulitzer Prize make her editors timid? I think Egan needs a firm editor! This 390 page book could be reduced easily to 200 pages without harming the plot. What a waste of superb talent, and,.. my time. Do give Egan another chance by reading "Emerald city."

During the 2009-2010 academic year I taught a new version of the UNH ECE Graduate Seminar (ECE 900), a course I first introduced in the fall of 2002. The primary aim of the previous version of the course was to expose our graduate students to research and development conducted at other institutions. Thus, the course consisted of eight invited talks per semester, given by engineers, scientist and other professionals, and covering a range of topics of interest to ECE students.
Starting with the 2009-2010 academic year the primary aim of the course has become to introduce graduate students to the general tools of scientific research. I championed this new aim for the course and I'm grateful that my faculty colleagues gave me an opportunity to share my excitement about scientific research with our graduate students.
The course had three main aspects:
- Lectures on performing scientific research. My lectures introduced students to the steps of scientific research, from formulating problems, to proposing hypotheses and conducting experiments.
- Research talks. Each student attended at least 15 talks. Most of these were held at UNH and the speakers were exceptional. At the same time, I encouraged the students to recommend talks that we can attend at other institutions. The result: trips to MIT, BU and WPI.
- Research proposal. At the end of the two semester sequence each student submitted a short research proposal and gave a presentation on the same. The proposals were developed over the two semesters, with students working individually and in groups. I provided feedback throughout the year on different segments of the proposal.
In an informal survey at the end of the academic year most students indicated that they liked the new version of the ECE Graduate Seminar and that they thought it was useful. All of the students thought that learning about the tools of science is useful and the majority also indicated that their technical writing skills improved due to this course. These responses are certainly encouraging.
I will be teaching ECE 900 again during the 2010-2011 academic year. Based on my experiences reported here, as well as those with my Fundamentals of Ubicomp course, I plan to implement two changes:
- Accelerate proposal development. I will move up the due date for the final research proposal to sometime early in the second semester. The accelerated schedule should help build excitement for learning about science. It will also give us time at the end of the year to discuss how other researchers approach scientific work. Finally, it will help with student participation in the course, which is the subject of the second change I intend to implement.
- Increase student participation. While I encouraged student participation throughout the semester, the results were not always stellar. By accelerating the proposal development process I hope to provide students with discussion topics that they feel comfortable talking about. I also intend to ask students to hold multiple formal presentations in class. One assignment that students can expect next semester: create a 15 minute presentation about a research topic of your choice, based on a research video posted online.

Well, the test only goes up to 5 and it is tough to tell if I am "OK" or up over 5. Do you guys who keep your FC higher than 5 actually do a drop test with the powder everyday? Just curious what your nightly routines are for chlorine when youre up around 4-5FC.

Launching an Event? Here are Some Practical Tips to Help You Out
Organising an event is one of the most effective ways of creating brand awareness, attracting more potential customers, and boosting your sales. While it can be a challenge to pull it off, it can give you huge rewards and great return on your investment when executed properly. Before you get excited and contact a banner shop to create the promotional materials that you need, make sure you plan everything carefully to ensure the success of your event. Here are some practical tips to help you out.
What You Should Know about Planning an Event
- Identify your target audience.
The first thing you need to do before anything else is to decide who your target audience will be. Who are you organising the event for? By finding the answer to this question, it will make it much easier for you to finalise decisions on the event's format, content, location, and other equally important matters. Identifying who your target audience is will also help you stay focused on achieving specific goals you have set for the event.
- Plan everything.
The devil is in the details, they say. While managing and keeping track of the minute details of your event can be exhausting and time-consuming, it can save you from a lot of headaches once the event starts. It can help ensure not only the success of the event, but the enjoyment of the event's participants, as well (which, as you may know, is good for the image of your business). Make sure to plan and list down everything so you won't overlook anything from program content and lighting, to promotion and logistics.
- Give yourself enough time.
There is no such thing as having too much time when it comes to organising an event. It is definitely a huge task, you should give yourself enough time to get everything ready. If you are planning to host a large-scale event, give yourself four to five months to make the necessary preparations. For smaller events, one to two months will do. Try to finalise all major contracts, such as the venue, the banner shop, and the vendors, at least one month before the date of your event.
- Watch out for other major events
If you want as many people as possible to attend your event, don't schedule it on or too close to holidays or any major occasion. Otherwise, your target audience will be torn on which even to attend. Before you decide on your schedule, make it a point to check the calendar and see if there are other events your target attendees might be going to.
- Create a budget
It is important to throw a great event, but it is also important to make sure that you are aware of what you can and cannot do money-wise. For this reason, it is a must that you create a budget. Do some research and find out how much everything would cost, from the rental of the venue to the cost of the promotional materials. Also, more often than not, events tend to cost more than you initially think they will, so it would be wise to set aside additional funds for miscellaneous expenses so you won't run out of money in the middle of doing the event preparations.
- Consider getting some sponsors
Want to organise an event but you don't have enough funds to pull it off? Don't worry because you can ask a few people to help you out. Believe it or not, there are brands and businesses that seek out sponsors prior to hosting an event, so it would be a great idea to do the same thing. Before you start booking your venue or finding vendors for your event, make sure to sign some sponsors first, so you know how much money you can raise to cover your projected expenses.
- Promote your event
To make sure that your target audience will come, you should let them know you are organising an event. Create a detailed marketing plan that will help you raise as much audience awareness as you can. To ensure that you won't be alone on the day of the event, promote it. Use the power of social media to expand your reach. More importantly, use banners on and before the day of the event.
Banner Design and Placement Tips
Using banners is an effective way to create awareness and draw attention to your event. Here are some pointers you should consider.
- Give the banner shop enough time to complete your orders
Depending on how many banners you want the banner shop to create, you should provide adequate lead times for banner production and design. Give them at least four weeks to design and print the banners. Avoid rush orders because not only can they be more expensive, they can be a potential cause of problem, especially to deliver the banners on time.
- Consider banner placement location when designing the banners.
Make sure you design the banner according to where you are planning on installing them. If the banners are to be used outdoors, see to it that the information on them are highly visible so they can be easily read by people driving or walking by. If the banners are to be placed indoors, make the banner attractive and not too lengthy as most people tend to lose focus quickly.

PARIS — The 2010 Gallic awards season kicked off with underdog "Welcome" upsetting favorite "A Prophet" for best picture prize at France's Lumiere Awards.
Starring Vincent Lindon as a swimming coach who aids a young Iraqi Kurd in his quest to cross the English Channel, "Welcome" scored more than 1 million admissions during a French release sparked by controversy over a minister's comments about the film's take on illegal immigrants. U.S. rights to the pic were recently nabbed by Film Movement.
"I was afraid to tell my producer that 25 minutes of the film would be in Kurdish. 'It's normal,' he said. 'The character's Kurd.' " quipped scribe-helmer Philippe Lioret to a packed house at Paris' Hotel de Ville.
Jacques Audiard's much heralded prison thriller, "A Prophet," nabbed two major prizes: director and actor for newcomer Tahar Rahim. Pic is nominated for foreign language film at the Golden Globes, and is France's contender for foreign language film at this year's Oscars.
Actress went to vet Isabelle Adjani for her portrayal of a high school teacher under siege in Jean-Paul Lillienfeld's drama "Skirt Day." "It's touching to receive a prize for a film about such a taboo subject," Adjani remarked.
Screenplay kudos went to Mia Hansen-Love for her family drama "The Father of My Children." Scribe-helmer's sophomore pic nabbed Un Certain Regard's Special Jury Prize at Cannes, and is slated for U.S. release by IFC this year. She's also one of Varietys 10 Directors to Watch.
Twenty-year old Canuck actor-director Xavier Dolan received best Francophone film award for his debut, "I Killed My Mother."
Created in 1995 by legendary Gallic producer Daniel Toscan du Plantier and Newsweek foreign correspondent Edward Behr, this 15th edition of the Lumieres paid homage to late French auteur Eric Rohmer and to thesp Jocelyn Quivrin, who died in a car crash last November.

A man was threatened, robbed, assaulted and frogmarched home by two men who were armed with a knife - and possibly a gun.
The 29-year-old's ordeal began when he walked past the two thugs who were spraying racist graffiti on a takeaway shutter on Great Cheetham Street East, Higher Broughton, Salford.
They followed him, approached him from behind and attacked him at about 12.40am on November 2. They took his mobile phone, bank cards and other personal items before taking him to a nearby cash machine.
When he was unable to withdraw any cash one offender withdrew a knife and threatened to stab him.
In an ordeal that lasted about another 15 minutes, he was taken to his home on Leicester Road during which the offenders tried to drag him into Mandley Park.
One of the men also grabbed the victim's hand and placed inside his own pocket. He felt what he believed was a gun and the offender also threatened to shoot him.
When he arrived at his home address, in fear of being shot or stabbed, the victim managed to fight off the offenders, who ran off.
Both of the offenders are described as white men, in their 20s. One was wearing dark clothing and was slim. The other was about 5ft 9in and of heavy build.
Pc Michelle Ingham, of the volume crime team, said: "The offenders are two extremely unpleasant, violent and mindless thugs who have subjected the victim to a frightening ordeal that lasted a good 15 or 20 minutes.
"They have gone from daubing racist graffiti to assaulting, threatening and robbing an innocent man and if anyone saw them in the area or thinks they know who they are please get in touch.
"Obviously the fact they were armed with a knife and possibly even a gun is worrying but the community can pass information to us in complete confidence and we will do everything we can to get them and any weapons they have off our streets."
Anyone with information is asked to call the volume crime team on 0161 856 5250, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

July 15, 1977 Mental Health; Criminal Law and Procedure; Physicians and Doctors; Capacity to Stand Trial; Furnishing Psychiatric Evaluation to District Attorney
What is basically involved here is the question of the confidentiality of a medical report and the applicability of the physician-patient privilege. It should be noted that the physician-patient privilege was not recognized by common law. It is strictly a creature of statute. 44 ALR3d 24, 45. Traditionally, this privilege has not been held to appertain to court ordered psychiatric evaluations designed for use in the criminal prosectuion of a defendant. See State v. Case, 253
N.C. 130, 116 S.E.2d 429 (1960), cert. denied 365 U.S. 830, 5 L.ed.2d 707, 81 S.Ct. 717.
The language of G.S. 122-8.1 is consonant with that tradition. That statute deals with the disclosure of information or records by physician, psychiatrists, etc., at institutions operated by the North Carolina Department of Human Resources. After restrictive language regarding the disclosure of information or records of patients in normal situations, the following language is found therein:
"Provided that where a person or persons are defendants in criminal cases and a mental examination of such defendants has been orderd by the court, the Department of Human Resources through its agents and officers may transmit the results of the report of such mental examination to the clerk of said court and to the district attorney or prosecuting officer and to the attorney or attorneys of record for the defendant or defendants."
G.S. 15A-1002 contains provisions dealing with the procedures to be taken when the question arises as to the mental capacity of a defendant to proceed with trial in a criminal case. As pertinent here, that statute provides as follows:
"(b) When the capacity of the defendant to proceed is questioned, the court:
* * *
(2) May commit the defendant to a State mental health facility for observation and treatment for the period necessary to determine the defendant's capacity to proceed. In no event may the period exceed 60 days. The superintendent of the facility must direct his report on defendant's condition to the defense attorney and to the clerk of superior court, who must bring it to the attention of the court. The report is admissible at the hearing.
(d) Any report made to the court pursuant to this section shall be forwarded to the clerk of superior court in a sealed envelope addressed to the attention of a presiding judge, with a covering statement to the clerk of the fact of the examination of the defendant and any conclusion as to whether the defendant has or lacks capacity to proceed. A copy of the full report shall be forwarded to defense counsel, or to the defendant if he is not represented by counsel. A copy of the covering statement shall be forwarded to the district attorney. Until such report becomes a public record, the full report to the court shall be kept under such conditions as are directed by the court, and its contents shall not be revealed except as directed by the court. Any report made to the court pursuant to this section shall not be a public record unless introduced into evidence."
Subsection (d) is entirely new language added by the 1977 session of the General Assembly; it became effective on July 1, 1977. In view of the specific language of this later enacted statute, any conflict between it and G.S. 122-8.1 must be resolved in its favor. Thus, absent an order from the judge, only a copy of the covering statement, with contents as described, may be forwarded by the Forensic Unit to the district attorney until such time as the report has been introduced into evidence.
No doubt, however, the General Assembly recognized that earlier release of the full report to the district attorney will quite often serve the desirable end of providing speedy trials to defendants in fair, efficient proceedings conducted by informed, well-prepared counsel having timely access to all available material, relevant and competent evidence. Therefore, the language of G.S. 15A-1002(d) clearly permits the court, using its discretion in an individual case, to direct that a copy of the full report be given to the district attorney prior to the time it has become a public record.

In Japan, they are mandatory it seems, signs that easily identify drivers that are most likely to ruin your day. Now that is a good idea I'd like to see here in the USA. Of course I'd like a NATIONAL drivers license, and national test too, and national pollution tests for all engine powered objects built since 1975. This concept of mine doesn't have a visual BS test that keeps you from upgrading the engine and exhaust system, like the typical smog tests here in the states, it would be nothing other than a pollution test for what exits the engine. CO2, CO, SO2, and the rest of the bad stuff.
Sound? Yeah, that too. Really, if it's too loud, that's not cool. I'm comfortable with loud exhaust, but not open headers on public roads.

If you enjoyed the rap stylings of DJay in Hustle & Flow, and wondered what happened to the rapper after the credits rolled, you might just get your answer.
According to DJay himself – AKA actor Terrence Howard – there are already plans underway for a sequel. "We're going to do it," he told MTV. "We start filming at the end of next year." The DJay delay is to accommodate Howard's schedule, which has exploded since the first Flow proved to be a breakout. He'll next be seen stealing scenes in Get Rich Or Die Tryin' alongside 50 Cent.
There's no word on whether Hustle director Craig Brewer will be calling the shots, but according to Howard, the script's written and the entire cast will return.

Review Good People :
Convenience, Convenience, Convenience plus Stupidity = Too Bad
Too bad because what a great cast! Kate Hudson and James Franco are always interesting to watch, and their chemistry together was really nice in this film. Totally believable. And then there's the awesome Tom Wilkinson, terrific in just about everything he's in, and a new favorite, Omar Sy (loved him in the French film,The Untouchables.) When I put the movie in and watched the first 30 minutes, I was enjoying it. Then convenient writing starting seeping in and I lost all interest. I won't go into detail…I'm too tired right now honestly. But it just pisses me off when writers are lazy and good actors go to waste (and allow themselves to be in films like this!) There are just too many dumb decisions the characters make about 2/3's the way into the film to stay hooked. You are just like, "wow, they let this film get made???" Pisses me off again! Hell, I have 2 screenplays that would kick this one's ass. Mainly because I'm anal about not being convenient. Biggest pet peeve of all, because it's so easy to do. Not sure if it was the novelist or the screenplay writer but come on! You can do better than this – either of you or both of you! Damn. I'm disappointed

Survey says: Majority time-shifts TV shows
62% have time-shifted, 84% do it more than three years agoDVR usage and other forms of time-shifted TV consumption may be even more wide-spread than previously thought with a majority of Americans saying they watch TV content on their own schedule.
A new study conducted by International Communications Research for cable giant Comcast found that 62% of respondents have time-shifted TV shows -- whether by using a DVR, watching online or VOD, according to Media Life.
Sixty percent of respondents said they are time-shifting more now than they did a year ago, while 84% said they are doing it more than three years ago.
Among the other data showing the widespread use of time-shifting, this season more people are watching HBO's "Entourage" on a delay than are watching it live.
The Associated Press in its story on the new survey quotes a 36-year-old mother as saying: "If I didn't have the DVR, I don't think TV would be in the running."


text: The National Institutes of Health has funded animal studies on the impact of green tea for RA. The researchers found that green tea significantly reduced the severity of arthritis by causing changes in various immune responses – including suppressing cytokine IL-17 (an inflammatory substance) and increasing cytokine IL-10 (an anti-inflammatory substance). They also showed that an antioxidant in green tea called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) blocks the production of molecules that cause joint damage in people with RA. In May 2015, researchers reported in the International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases on the superior anti-inflammatory effect of green tea when compared with black tea.

Applicants per place:
The uni has provision for all sorts of welfare problems you can face. The Welfare Office is there to help you if you have any problems with money, landlords, academic or employment problems. You can drop in and see them any time during the week or get the basic 'help' info off their website.
For more personal problems you might want to use the counselling service which is free and confidential and is somewhere you can go and talk through your problems to find your own solutions. If you need to see one they try to get you an appointment within 5 working days.
The uni also has a lot of help and support for students with disabilities, students needing child care provision and international students.
Newport Uni has a health centre which is staffed by nurses (meaning you can't actually see a GP there, though they can tell you where you can register with one). The nurses are helpful and can deal with minor problems and also provide you with loads of info on a range of health issues. They can also refer you to other student services which might be of more help for you than the nurses themselves.
The nurses also run annual health fairs to keep issues in the forefront of your mind. These include topics like sexual health, healthy eating, stopping smoking and alternative therapies.
The uni website also lists basic info on many of these issues too as well as advice for dealing with minor problems like flu and diarrhoea and the signs for more serious problems like meningitis.
In Caerleon, where the main campus is based there is a small Uni shop selling things such as bread and milk, hoodies and stationery. The same goes for the Allt Yr Yn Campus.
In Caerleon itself, there are two main convenience stores, one up the hill from the campus, and one down through the bottom gates towards to centre of the village. They both sell enough to provide quick top ups to your main shop.
Nearest supermarket is Iceland and Sainsburys in town. The two Tescos are much further away.
Newport has enough shops; DP, New look, WH Smith, Boots, Wilkos. Although sometimes it can be a struggle to get more unusual things. The city is well-connected to surrounding cities of Cardiff and Bristol by regular rail services for other shopping needs.
For the Opal Accommodation which is based in the centre of town near the City campus, shopping is much easier.
Free to use cashpoint in the Caerleon campus (when its working)
The only other cashpoint/bank in Caerleon is right in the centre.
All other banks etc. are on the way, and in Newport
The uni has a free shuttle bus between the two campuses to make it as easy as possible for you to get about. This bus also stops in an area of town where a lot of students live, and also opposite the train station on the way to the other campus. If you are needing to get to and from town on weekends, the number 2 bus runs between the central bus station and Caerleon Campus while the number 14 runs out to Allt-yr-yn take Campus.
The train station in Newport is just about a 15 minute walk from Allt-yr-yn take Campus and from there you can get trains all over Wales and further afield, with hourly services to London and Birmingham (both of which can be reached within 2 hours).
Careers service
The careers service is open during the week, but has a load of info on it's website too (accessible from the main Newport site). The service is there to help you with general careers information, to offer advice and information tailored to your needs and run workshops to help with all aspects of applications and interviews. They normally host a careers fair each year where loads of employers come to speak to you and give you information, but as well as this they have more general liaisons with employers and you can go in to talk to the careers staff to find out more.
Part-time jobs
The careers service gives you a lot of info to think about part-time work. They guide you through the need for good CVs and applications on their website and also have an online list of advertised jobs. If there is not enough choice there, they also provide a long list of other websites which can list part-time jobs in the Newport area.
Religious facilities
The Chaplaincy provides spiritual and pastoral care for students. As well as being somewhere you can go talk to people, the service holds events through out the year, such as social lunches and trips and a Christmas Carol Service.

You'll also need to apply by the 1st September deadline to be guaranteed a uni room - though you should still try to send the form back as soon as possible as the rooms are allocated on a first come first served basis. If you wait too long you risk not getting not just your first choice, but any of your choices.
Once a room is given to you (normally about the end of August) you have to reply to them to confirm you want the room. DO NOT delay doing this as you only have a few days to respond and if late you will have lost your room to someone else. You also need to send back a £200 (repayable) bond with the acceptance - again you'll loose your room if you do not do this.
No candles, incense sticks, fairy lights, chip fryers, pets including goldfish, minifridges or large white goods are allowed in rooms. EDIT: Almost all rooms now come with Minifridges already.
- In accommodation you can either have en-suite or standard, en-suite being 65 per week, standard varies from 45-55ish
- Students are not allowed to bring cars on to campus unless you are on teaching practice and need your car to get to your school.
- Each room has an internet connection for a charge
- There are two coin operated laundry rooms on campus
- There has been a free cash machine been brought in, some problems which will be fixed in the foreseeable future.
You can have an en suite for 39 weeks costing a total of £2710.50.
Standard rooms come in two price ranges. In Abergavenny, Blaenavon and Camelot they cost £2262.00 for 39 weeks and in Dolaucothi, 39 weeks costs £2106.00. (These prices are for the 2007/8 year.)
For those based at the city campus you'll most likely want to stay at Opal 1 Newport (google it), modern, secure and friendly, prices range from arounf £98 to £108 pw all bills included.
First years guaranteed a place.
Private sector
In Newport accomodation varies in price from about £50 a week to a maximum of £100. £50-60 tends to be the kind of 4-5-6 bedroom terraced student houses, usually with 3 floors - dependant of the area. £70 and above tends to be less rooms and more house, nicer housing, possibly for more mature students.
The main areas are around the Caerleon campus, Caerleon itself is hard to find accomodation in, Maindee is very popular with students, as is St Juliens, these areas are ok, albeit on the rough side at night. For the Allt-yr-yn campus there are a couple of local houses, these tend to be more expensive due to Allt yr yn being a desired area for families, and cost approx £70+ per person per night)
In 2008/09 the Students' Union aim to set up an online 'estate agency' to assist students in finding good quality accommodation once they leave campus.
Student union
The SU is there to help you both with academic and welfare issues and with having a good time. In addition to all the events and societies mentioned elsewhere in this guide, the SU also has a radio station, International Radio Noize (http://www.radionoize.co.uk) and an online TV channel NTV (http://www.newportunion.com/ntv.php).

Local area
Caerleon itself is a beautiful village with countryside surrounding it. The wider Newport area has everything you would expect of a medium-sized city. The rail connections to the nearby cities of Cardiff and Bristol are useful too. The main campus at Caerleon is lovely, set in a beautiful place. Its located very close to a old Roman settlement, still got the amphitheatre intact.

Back in the late '90s, the IT landscape was shaped by the sudden rise and unforeseen success of small, Internet-based companies. Driven by venture capital investments and entrepreneurial spirit, the era gave rise to surging stock prices and iconic companies like Cisco and Amazon.com.
As a Recruiting Director in the Silicon Valley who lived through the Dot-com era, I can't help but notice a similar phenomena taking shape today. It seems that every day I come into the office, I hear about three new startups in the area. Like during the '90s, these companies are being funded by venture capitalists looking to develop new technologies, new products and, of course, new revenue streams.
But it takes more than money to become the next Amazon as opposed to the next Pets.com – it takes top IT talent.
With so many companies competing for talent – and with new companies scouring the job market every day – a startup company may come looking for you. But do you know what you'll find with a career at a startup company?
Working for a startup company is a unique experience that offers many benefits. However, there are some drawbacks that you should understand as well.
Here are some things to consider if you are interested in working for a startup company:
- It's all about multitasking: At a startup company, you will more than likely be responsible for wearing many hats. You should be comfortable taking on multiple projects at the same time and prioritizing your workload.
- Startups don't want candidates who are comfortable: If you've been with the same company for a decade, you may have a hard time attracting the attention of a startup company. It has been my experience that startups prefer to hire employees who have experience at other startups or to train entry-level candidates from top colleges and universities.
- Autonomy instead of bureaucracy: At traditional companies, direction usually flows from the top down. Your projects, priorities and focus are typically dictated by your boss. However, at a startup, you often have to lead your own way, every day. There are pros and cons of both structures. Be aware of the type of working environment in which you feel most comfortable.
- You need to be on the cutting edge: Startups want talent with the latest skills – mobile app development, cloud computing, HTML 5, etc. – and a demonstrated passion for those skills. If you want to attract a startup company, be sure to highlight your skills in your resume and show off your stuff in blogs, interactive portfolios and personal websites.
- Work hard, play hard: Startups generally embrace flexible work arrangements, including telecommuting, flexible shifts and shortened workweeks. However, they expect you to put in the time necessary to complete your work, no matter where you are working.
- Risk versus reward: By their very nature, startup companies are a gamble. If the company you work for does not catch on then it doesn't matter how hard you work – they will go out of business and you could find yourself out of a job. When approached with an offer to work for a startup company, be sure to gauge the company's long-term viability. If you can see their service or product taking off, then go for it – your career can take off with it!
Startups offer a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of something big. However, not everyone is cut out for a startup. A seasoned recruiter well versed in the world of IT should be able to help you determine if you have the right skills, and the right personality, to excel in a startup environment. If it sounds like a good fit, there are great opportunities out there.

Ah, the humble stapler. We've all had one since we were in school and had to staple our 5th grade Social Studies reports together (I rocked that report, Mr. Taylor, and we both know I deserved more than a B+). It's one of those things that's in just about every home, school, and office, and it's the kind of thing we all take for granted. After all, what could be simpler than operating a stapler? If you can raise your hand and whack it down on something, then you're already more than qualified for the job.
But, it turns out the humble stapler has been hiding some tricks from the majority of us. It appears there's actually more than one way to staple something. It's one of those simple, but lesser-known features that most people would never even think to explore, but it turns out that the little metal plate on the bottom of the stapler's got more to it than meets the eye.
I can honestly say, it never occurred to me to try to move that little plate, or even to check if it was movable at all. YouTuber Sarah Barlow is clearly more inquisitive than I am because as she reveals in this clip, it can be rotated back and forth to create two different types of staples. Watch as she demonstrates in the video below.
The first configuration is what most of us are used to, with the staple points bending inwards and securely fastening the pages together. The second, lesser-known configuration allows for "pinning" documents together temporarily, bending the staple points outwards for a binding that can easily be removed without damaging the paper. How cool is that?
Don't forget to SHARE this great tip with your friends and family.

Looking for Best Rowing Machines? In order to answer all those questions of you, we have done an extensive research on all of the rowing machines available in the market and recommended these rowing machine models for you.
So if you are planning to get a rowing machine at home, go through these recommended rowing machines reviews.
Rowing machines are not just about cardio, rowing is a full body workout and the right piece of equipment will let you engage 70-85% of your total muscle mass.
There are hundreds of rowing machines available in the market from various fitness brands. If you choose any random rowing machine from the market, there are chances that you'll face injuries such as lower back pain, knee pain etc.
That's why we've spent our 7 months, testing all these rowing machines and for the matter of fact, most of them sucked. But still, we have found some of the best rowing machines, which are suitable for any beginner or expert out there.
Best Rowing Machines 2018 – Our Top Picks!
Rowing Machine Reviews 2018 – Our Top Recommendations!
#1 Sunny Health and Fitness SF-RW5515 – Best Rowing Machine
1 used from $188.99
Free shipping
- Magnetic tension System with (8) levels of adjustable resistance
- Large LCD console displays time, count, calories, total count, Scan
- Fully padded seat and non-slip grip handlebars for optimal comfort
- Large anti-slip foot pedals with adjustable foot straps
- Built in transportation wheels for easy portability; maximum user weight 250 lbs
Sunny Health and Fitness have a penchant for making fitness equipment of incredible value and the SF-RW5515 magnetic rowing machine is no different.
For just a little over $200, this machine packs all the essentials needed for a good workout experience.
So what do you get for your money? The short answer is; a lot! The rower utilizes a sturdy steel frame, 8 levels of magnetic resistance and an easy to read LCD display. While looks are subjective, we think this is a pretty nice looking piece of equipment and it takes up very little space.
Thanks to the magnetic resistance, the machine is very quiet. In fact, the actual rowing motion makes next to no noise, most of it comes from the seat being pulled back. Unlike rowers with air resistance, the tension doesn't increase as you perform faster repetitions. This leads to a smooth and predictable motion regardless of intensity level.
Let's talk about the all-important contact points. The cushioned seat and comfortable posture make it very easy to focus on the workout and not worry about anything else. The same can be said for the large, sturdy, non-slip pedals with toe straps that secure your feet to the machine no matter the intensity of exercise.
Overall, this is a rower that does the job without breaking the bank.
#2 Concept2 Model D/Model E
Free shipping
- Low impact workout that engages all major muscle groups; work legs, core and arms with a smooth, high calorie-burning motion
- Track your progress with real-time reliable data; the Performance Monitor 5 (included) self-calibrates for comparable results; connect wirelessly to heart rate belts and apps (not included)
- Designed to fit most users: 14-inch seat height, adjustable footrests and ergonomic handle
An Olympic-level athlete wouldn't feel out of place on one of these and indeed, many of them use rowers like these to keep fit in the off-season. That being said, you don't need to be an elite athlete to take advantage of its capabilities.
Available in light gray or black, the Model D is all business. While the design is simple and practical, one can tell within minutes that this is a very high-quality machine.
A big part of what makes this thing great is the smooth and dependable motor, which through a combination of a flywheel and damper keeps the motion/resistance challenging and yet you feel in total control through each stage of the movement. The chain Is coated with nickel which adds to the smoothness and reduces maintenance.
Okay, so the motor is awesome. What really matters, however, is the human interaction with the machine. This is done via the contact points, namely the seat, handle and footrest; all of which are designed ergonomically. The footrests are large enough for bigfoot to get his paws into and the handle is bent at a 10-degree angle to let you row along in a nice and natural position.
What about portability then? It's hard to expect gym level equipment to be portable but surprisingly, that's exactly what the model D is. The frame features a quick-release lock that lets machine separate into two parts for easy storage. Even when fully assembled, transport wheels make it easy to move/roll the machine into position.
Lastly, we come to the Concept2 party piece, the high-tech Performance Monitor 5 or PM5 for short. This adjustable, accurate and incredibly well-made monitor tracks workout data, allows you to transfer It via USB and wirelessly accepts heart rate information from a number of ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart sensors. The PM5 can be connected to smartphones, computers and even other Concept2 rowers for some machine-to-machine racing!
The Concept2 Model D has a 14-inch seat height. If you prefer a taller sitting position, there's the near identical Model E with a 20-inch seat height. Both these excellent rowers are built to last a lifetime.
#3 WaterRower Club
- Handcrafted rowing machine with "water flywheel" that replicates actual rowing feel
- Flywheel sits in enclosed water tank to provide smooth, quiet, self-regulated resistance
- Series 4 performance monitor tracks workout intensity, stroke rate, heart rate, and more
- Solid ash construction absorbs sound and vibration; designed for high-traffic areas
- Stores upright; measures 84 x 21 x 22 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 117 pounds
Immediately, there's a big difference between the two. WaterRowers are absolutely beautiful, handcrafted pieces of art in stark contrast to the industrial-looking and businesslike Concept2 machines. But it does not form over function and we're happy to report that they're just as capable.
We can talk about specs and build quality but the thing that they really bring to the table is an unmatched user experience. First and foremost, this rower has no motor. Instead, it has a 'water flywheel' with paddles that come as close as possible to mimic the feel of rowing a real boat. This also provides smooth resistance that increases the faster you paddle, just as it would in an open water body. Even the best rowing machines have occasional jerks and judders across their range of motion but WaterRowers remain smooth and sublime.
The WaterRower Club is made out of an ash hardwood which, apart from being beautiful, incredibly strong and durable, also has sound dampening properties. This, along with the water flywheel makes for an incredibly quiet and pleasant workout experience. The only sound you really hear the calm, soothing notes of water swishing around.
The attention to detail and an emphasis on user experience rather than outright features or performance is continued with the excellent Series 4 performance monitor. Unlike the PM5 on the Concept2 machines, it doesn't inundate you with workout data but still covers all the bases. Just like the rest of the machine, a bit of sophistication has found itself into this monitor. The screen displays your workout intensity, stroke rate, heart rate, zone bar, duration, and distance and the monitor is compatible with an optional chest heart rate strap. Even the target monitor politely beeps when you are in the correct intensity zone so that you can focus on enjoying your workout and listening to the pleasant sounds of water as you row.
The WaterRower Club uses a stained wood with a darker color that's suited for home as well as commercial gyms/studios. It features dual black rails have been styled to prevent scuffing and as such is suitable for heavy and rough usage. There is the option of a natural finish for those who prefer it. The Club version, however, is finished in an attractive rosewood which is much more resistant to soiling.
Lastly, the frame flips upright so that it can be stored in an unbelievably small footprint. If you still have any doubt left about the quality of construction, it supports a user weight of 1000 pounds! These things will last forever and look great while doing it. You owe it to yourself to check one out in person.
#4 Stamina Air Rower
1 used from $269.10
Free shipping
- Wind-resistance rowing machine with multi-function performance monitor
- Monitor displays speed, distance, time, and calories burned. You will have some fan noise from this rower since it has a chain when you pull it
- Padded, upholstered seat; large footplates for any size user; over-sized, angled seat rail for smooth sliding
- Folds for storage; built-in wheels for portability; floor protectors prevent skidding
An air rower has advantages of its own. The rowing experience is generally more intuitive when compared to standard magnetic machines and the effort increases progressively as you get faster. Now I know that some of you may be thinking; 'this thing is probably loud as a result!'. In reality, however, it's not as loud as you would expect.
The oversized seat rail is set at an angle for smooth operation and comfort. The seat itself is nicely upholstered so that you don't end up walking funny after a hard session. There's a performance monitor, wheels for portability, the ability to fold for storage and an overall solid construction that should last a long, long time.
Simple is good sometimes and that's exactly what the Stamina Air Rower is; a simple and highly effective machine offers plenty of value for money.
#5 Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050
3 used from $100.79
Free shipping
- Unique, full-range-of-motion rowing mimics being on the water
- Multi-function electronic monitor to keep you motivated
- Comfortable molded seat
- Adjustable, hydraulic cylinder resistance for a smooth rowing stroke
- Foldable arms for compact storage
- Textured footplates with straps to keep your feet secure
It's hard to find a rower for around a 100 dollars and especially one that doesn't completely suck. Based on our own experience and an overwhelming amount of mostly-positive reviews from thousands of users, we feel okay with putting this thing on our top 5.
The Trac Glider 1500 isn't trying to be anything it's not. It may be a budget machine but it still gets you the impressive exercise benefits of rowing and does so at an accessible point of entry.
Resistance is provided via a gas-cylinder system. This resistance is adjustable via a knob, so that's a plus. You also get a frame that is reasonably sturdy, a basic monitor that displays the essentials. It folds for storage and even when fully assembled, fits into a very small footprint of only 23.5 inches wide by 46 inches long. We also couldn't really fault the molded, well-padded seat.
The Body Trac Glider is one of the few budget products that we can recommend without reservation. As long as you don't expect the world of it, it will pleasantly surprise you.
What are the types of rowing machines?
When you think of rowing, you think of water. Naturally, water-based rowers are often the best kinds. The resistance is progressive and suitable for advanced users. They also tend to last for ages if properly cared for.
On the flip side, water rowers can be heavy since they have a tank onboard. Apart from being heavy, it's very likely that they'll take up more space than most (some can be stored upright, however). They also often have to use some sort of water filtration/purification method to ensure the mechanical integrity of the parts that come into contact with the wet stuff. WaterRower, for example, supplies users with their own purification tablets; we recommend you stick to your rower's manufacturer's advice on this.
Arguably the biggest thing water rowers have going for them is that they mimic the feel of rowing in a real boat and offer the best user experience overall.
Air resistance is also progressive but generally louder than water. Good air rowers can sometimes mitigate this drawback. A well-made air rower can be very competent and not at all a bad option for a commercial space such as a gym or studio.
Overall, air rowers are the simplest with the least number of things that can go wrong. So long as you've checked the noise levels, they're a good option.
Rowers that use magnetic resistance are popular for good reason. First, they offer a linear resistance with many levels of adjustment. This is great for people who need a predictable and constant resistance throughout their workout.
The use of magnets also enables quieter operation and reduced part maintenance. These units can also be somewhat heavy.
In terms of feel, magnetic rowers offer a smooth experience.
Hydraulic rowers are often the lightest and cheapest models available. They're usually sufficient for beginners but some may find the maximum resistance a bit on the softer side. They're also unlikely to offer variable resistance.
That being said, they're still among the most affordable rowers available and will usually fit into a very small footprint.
Advantages of Using Rowing Machines
With all the resources and selection of products we have gathered above, you will be able to choose the best rowing machine for your purpose. However, some of you may still be wondering about the real advantages of using a rowing machine for exercises. If we are going to create a complete list, it's going to be really huge. So, for the time being, let's have a look at the most notable advantages of using rowing machines for a full-body workout experience.
Effective and Equal Emphasis on Upper Body and Lower Body Workouts
The level of hardness might be your choice, but rowing machines are supposed to give you an equally superb experience of upper-body and lower-body workout. This is something you cannot find in most of other types of exercises. As far as the upper body is concerned, a continuous rowing machine usage will give you benefits of the stronger back while dealing with the issues of back pain. If you ask those who have survived serious issues of back pain, rowing would have been an integral part of their exercise.
Nevertheless, it needs to be noted that its impacts aren't limited to back but extends to the areas like biceps, hands, wrists, and abs. In fact, given that you are using one of the best rowing machines from the market, your body strength is going to be enhanced like never before. Coming to the lower body parts, the impact of rowing machines is something diverse. It is enhancing the strength and flexibility of your body, especially your leg muscles and thighs.
Convenience and Affordability
Obviously, we are comparing the rowing-machine experience with that of actual rowing. If you are someone who loves the presence of water and enjoys the feel of it, you may not really get this point. However, if you are looking for the benefits of exercise, Rowing Machines are going to be the epitome of convenience and affordability. To use a machine, you don't have to go to a store, get a boat or start rowing. Everything will be happening in a calm side of your home — probably some place that gives you relief and a calm mind.
Coming to the aspect of affordability, you can find a rowing machine under almost every budget. It has just been noted that the best, customizable and effective machines cost a bit more — which can still be reasoned by most of the buyers. Even in the above list, you can find machines that belong to the different categories of personal and professional budgets. If this does not make sense, just think of the expenses of having a kind of rowing place and the required equipment. We're sure that you'll find the resort in rowing machines.
Easy to Use and Low Impact
In the world of fitness, you can find a wide variety of fitness machines, including the tough ones. As a matter of fact, not many of those machines are completely easy to use. In most cases, you need the help of a well-trained professional to get started with the devices. The case of rowing machines is a bit different because they are perhaps the easiest to use fitness machines you'd find right now. The best part is that no matter which kind of exercise you are doing, these machines offer the best level of safety too.
Another point of concern is the impact a rowing machine has on your body. We already mentioned that the rowing exercises are best as far as effectiveness is concerned. It needs to be noted, however, that they don't affect your joints. If you are looking for some rehabilitation purposes, rowing machine would be the superb companion, given the minimal impact. You can also get rid of back pain, it can be fixed by following a proper and healthy posture while rowing.
In addition to these common advantages, there are some specific too. For instance, some studies do show that the use of rowing machines causes the release of endorphins, which are hormones that make you so good. It's pretty great, right? You are spending a lot of calories while making yourself feel less stressed.
Factors to Consider for the Best Rowing Machine
The concept of the 'best rowing machine' varies according to the person and requirements. Still, given that you need a machine that you can depend upon, there is something you need to understand. So, here are a few things you should take into account before purchasing or shortlisting rowing machines for you.
Quality of Build
To put things simply, the rowing machine should be powerful enough to support your body. Also, almost all the areas of the machine should be flexible and powerful to deal with the diverse exercises you may try out in the long run. As for the build, you can pick anything like solid steel, wooden materials and obviously aluminum.
The best option is to talk to people who can relate to your weight and have been using rowing machines for a long while. Another important advice is to keep yourself away from all sorts of plastic-made machines. In this section, you should give importance to the minimal sets of accessories as well.
Of course, you will be having a particular budget for purchasing a rowing machine for your home. As we said earlier, these machines are noted for the affordable pricing tags. Even if you have a look at the products we have mentioned above, you can find machines that suit the extreme budgets of yours.
If you ask us, however, there's another aspect of the budget as far as rowing machines are concerned. Even in a worst case, you are going to use the machine for a reasonably-well amount of time. So, it wouldn't be a bad decision to invest some money on a high-quality machine instead of purchasing the products again and again.
Storage and Maintenance
One of the major benefits of having a rowing machine was its convenience of use and easy storage. So, just before you check out the product, make sure that it would fit in your bedroom — or wherever you are going to use for exercise. It's best to keep the machine as small as possible, unless, of course, it interferes with the actual exercise acts.
You should also take into account the aspect of maintenance, which is surely something important. Indeed, you have many ways to keep the machine intact and powerful in the course of time. That having said, it's an extra layer of safety if the machine comes with a notable warranty. All these are somewhat unnecessary if you are purchasing a rowing machine from a renowned brand.
Noise Level, Comfort, and Resistance
Are you looking for a super-silent environment for your rowing experience? In that case, you should consider how much sound the machine is producing on average. It basically depends upon many things, including the type of resistance and building material. The easiest option is to consult experienced users.
Comfort should not be ignored no matter how much you are spending on the machine. First of all, make sure that the device comes with the well-padded sitting space and handles. Otherwise, even when the rowing is not doing any harm, you may face issues regarding handling and all.
Last but not least, you should consider the available options of resistance. The idea is to make sure that your machine can grow with your varying levels of requirements. If you are someone who sets fitness goals in the life, you need to pick a rowing machine that has an extensive range of resistance levels.
We hope these factors will help you choose the best machine for you. There are a few additional set of factors to be considered, such as the control monitor. Basically, you get to know what's happening to your body through these workouts. Isn't that great, folks?
