Question by Jon: How much room do I need for a Bowflex Ultimate 2?
I’m looking to get the Bowflex Ultimate 2, and I’d like to know, from someone that’s used one, how much space should I have around it?
Please note, if you’re considering answering with:
“Usually with exercise equipment…”
“It looks like you need…”
“The Bowflex site says…”
“Call Bowflex and ask…”
Just don’t bother.
Also, please answer THIS question. I’m not looking for someone to tell me what other machine I should get instead, or that they make smaller ones, or how to make an addition on my house to make room for it.
It’s a subjective thing, I know, and I can’t stress enough that I’m looking for SOMEONE THAT HAS USED ONE. I have about 10 feet from the wall it would be against, and plenty of room side to side. Mainly I need to know if the moving parts would hit the wall or if I could have it right up against it in the back, how much clearance I need for the attachments at the foot of the machine to move, etc.

Thanks a lot if you can help!
Dear god… “not much just room like a basement”
This is exactly the kind of answer I don’t want. I know you don’t own one or ever will, you are not helpful in any stretch of the imagination. Do you understand that some people could have a small basement? What does “like a basement” even mean? You can only buy this if you have a cement room without windows?
Please use this as an example of how not to answer my question.

What can I do to prevent spam?
Yahoo! Mail is committed to eliminating spam and offers several tools to help you keep spam out of your inbox. Yahoo! has consolidated several of these tools under the “This is Spam” link next to the From: address in every message.
The most effective way to prevent spam from entering your inbox is to use SpamGuard. Help increase SpamGuard’s effectiveness by sending examples of spam to Yahoo! to review. Yahoo! will use the messages you send using the “Spam” button to constantly improve the SpamGuard technology.
Yahoo! Mail offers you the ability to create filters for your account. You can create filters to deliver emails to a special folder or to the Trash that:

contain specific words or phrases
are from a sender’s domain
containing other characteristics you find in spam

Yahoo! Mail allows you to prevent future email from a specific email address from being delivered to you at all. Note that many spammers frequently change their email address to avoid this technique.
You can choose how long you want to keep messages in your Bulk Mail Folder. You can choose to drop all messages in your Bulk Mail Folder or keep messages for 1 week, 2 weeks or 1 month. The default is one month.
To edit this feature:

Click “Mail Options”
Click “Spam Protection”
Here you will have the following two choices:

“Immediately delete these messages upon receipt”.
“Save these messages in the Bulk folder” and select the desired timeframe from the drop down menu.
Important: Occasionally, valid email messages may be perceived as spam and delivered to the Bulk folder. Please note that if you select this option, you will not have an opportunity to review the messages in your Bulk folder before they are deleted.

Click “Save Changes”
Outside of the specific tools that Yahoo! Mail offers:

Never respond to unsolicited email (i.e., spam). To the individuals who send spam, one response or “hit” among thousands of mailings is enough to justify the practice. \

Never respond to the spam email’s instructions to reply with the word “remove” unless you trust the company sending the email. This is a ploy to get you to react to the email and will alert the sender that your email address is open and available to receive mail, which greatly increases its value. If you reply, your address may be placed on more lists, resulting in more spam.

Never click on a URL or web site address listed within a spam email. This could alert the site to the validity of your email address, potentially resulting in more spam.

Never sign up with sites that promise to remove your name from spam lists.
Although some of these sites may be legitimate, more often than not, they are address collectors. The legitimate sites are ignored (or exploited) by the spammers, and the address collection sites are owned by spammers. In both cases, your address is recorded and valued more highly because you have just identified that your address is active.

AEG

​This week backers of a downtown NFL stadium will roll out a $ 27 million environmental impact report that will undoubtedly tell us how good this venue will be for Planet Angeles.

Fair enough, but a new report over the weekend casts some doubt on the grand designs of Anschutz Entertainment Group, the LA Live developer that wants to build this 72,000-seater for more than $ 1.2 billion.

Yahoo! Sports says the whole deal to build “Farmers Field” is dead unless …

… AEG changes its proposal to the NFL.

The report says that the company’s plan to buy a minority stake in a team — a deal similar to its interest in the Lakers, which plays at AEG’s Staples Center — wouldn’t cut it with the league. (For a good summary about why the NFL doesn’t apparently like that deal, read this).

And because AEG hasn’t reportedly submitted another proposal to the NFL in at least three months, the prospect of bringing a team to downtown L.A. might be dead.

In fact, Yahoo! Sports says, the gulf between what the league and AEG wants is so large that some stadium boosters at City Hall are already looking at life without a stadium.

They’re reportedly considering how to redevelop the aging West Hall without the help of AEG, which had vowed to expand the meeting hall as part of its installation of a football venue there.

Yahoo:

The bottom line is that because of that, politicians in Los Angeles may be shifting focus from the stadium project to simply enlarging the Los Angeles Convention Center. The stadium was supposed to be built on part of where the center currently sits and would serve as convention space when not being used for the NFL.

Complicating things was a report in the Los Angeles Times last week indicating that Magic Johnson’s team of investors that just took over the Dodgers might want to build … an NFL stadium next door to Dodger Stadium.

Johnson is also a backer of AEG’s downtown stadium dreams. Complicated?

L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, meanwhile, is sounding like he’s the only guy in town who wants a stadium downtown, telling the Orange County Register (repeatedly), in response to queries about AEG owner Phil Anschutz’s commitment to bringing a team to town, “I’m working hard to bring an NFL team to LA.”

Huh?

On top of all that, AEG over the weekend seems to be changing its tune on how much it would be willing to invest in a team.

AEG chief Tim Leiweke told the Times‘ T.J. Simers this on Sunday:

Phil has committed a billion dollars privately to build a stadium and is prepared to spend another chunk if he has to buy the majority of a team. You can publicly state that. He’s prepared to be a majority owner if that’s what it takes.

So is Farmers Field back on the map? We wouldn’t count it out just yet.

You should be listening to Alabama Shakes and Cloud Nothings if you’re not already.

SXSW 2012 had a lot of well-known artists I caught who ruled: Bruce Springsteen — who was joined by members of Arcade Fire, Jimmy Cliff and Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello –  Jack White, Santigold and Fiona Apple. And there were surprise pop-ins from Rick Ross and Eminem, too. But one of my favorite things about the music festival is stuffing my face with Tex-Mex and BBQ the chance to discover and check out up-and-coming bands to keep on the radar. Some have already been making waves, and some are just about to, but all are Buzzworthy bands you need to know.

Here are, in no particular order, 15 bands from SXSW you need to know:

Alabama Shakes: Holy ish, these guys and gal are fantastic! The group drew long lines and crowds during their multi-show appearances. Brittany Howard’s powerhouse, gritty voice conjured Janis Joplin, and the band’s Southern soulful, bluesy stomp was as intoxicating as an Alabama Slammer (with all the fun, and zero hangover). Listen: “Hold On,” Watch: “You Ain’t Alone”

Howler: Talented? Check. Cute? Check. Hilarious? Check! The Midwestern (Minnesota) quartet are an indie rock band for retro-leaning melodies and a young zeal. There was plenty of silly boy banter onstage about tour antics, which added to their already-adorbs charm. Watch: “Back of Your Neck”

Of Monsters And Men: I first saw the Icelandic band at Iceland Airwaves music fest in October, and in five months they’ve grown their fanbase exponentially, playing to a full house at the larger Stubb’s venue. Their song “Little Talks” is getting radio airplay love and due to their appealing orchestral-tipped, rousing folk style (fans of Arcade Fire will approve) and lovely male-female vocal interplay, they garnered a deal with Universal Records. Watch: “Little Talks”

Check out more SXSW bands you need to know after the jump.

The Balconies: Toronto, Canada trio The Balconies mines hook-laden pop-rock and singer Jacquie Neville’s arena-worthy, Hayley Williams-esque vocals and bigger-than-the-stage presence (which included scissor kicks, half-splits and all-out rocking about) were as ballsy as she is hot. Listen: “Kill Count”

2:54: Yes, this U.K. band played at the exact time slot as their namesake at Fader Fort, but they’re far from gimmicky. The quartet includes two sisters, Collette and Hannah Thurlow, whose axes provide the shoegazy undertone that pleasingly juxtaposed against Collette’s hazy vocals. Listen: “Scarlet”

Penguin Prison: I wandered into the dark ND venue in the middle of a Texas sunshine day, and Penguin Prison (aka Chris Glover) transported me into thinking it was 4 a.m. at some Ibiza nightclub, in a good way, natch. The crowded room was in a dance frenzy from his funkified beats and nü disco-to-glistening-’80s vibe. Listen: “Don’t F*** With My Money.”

Cloud Nothings: Every so often I caught a glimpse through the crowd of the bespectacled Dylan Baldi frantically propelling himself about the small stage at the ridic packed 512 Rooftop venue. More important, though, was being able to hear his frenetic melodies, which grew into growling anthems. Watch: “No Future/No Past”

The Drums: There’s something distinctly British sounding about The Drums, which is odd given they’re Brooklynites by way of Florida. It does make sense that they made a big splash in the U.K., though with their Brit-poppish guitars and rhythms. There’s also something buoyant about them; even the song they introduced by saying “This song’s about my dead best friend” was upbeat. Think a less dark, more flamboyant Interpol. Watch “Best Friend (Live)”

Sharon Van Etten: Her melancholic compositions combined with her clear, pretty vocals and straight-to-the-heart confessional lyrics were spellbinding when I caught her set at Stubb’s. Anyone who can get a mostly drunk, sold-out crowd to shut up and listen is a superhero in our book. Watch “Magic Chords (Live)”

Nneka: The Nigerian-born, Germany-dwelling singer has a bevy of influences to match her multicultural experiences: From hip-hop to funk, reggae to Afro-beat, the music is all pulled together with her soulful vocal stylings. Also, it is petty of us to mention that we’d seriously want her hair? Watch: “Camouflage (Live)”

The War On Drugs: I don’t advocate drugs, just like this band’s name implies, but I’d fathom to guess stoners would find them just as compelling as we straight-laced folks do. They have a sprawling Americana vibe, which detours into psychedelia and features ringing guitars, while singer Adam Granduciel delivers lyrics in a strutty cool Lou Reedish/Bob Dylan way. Listen: “Baby Missiles”

Night Moves: These Minnesotans were hot, both in looks and from the Austin heat when I caught their day showcase. The Domino Records act occupies that space between psych-rock, dance and country. Be sure not to confuse them with the 1970s detective movie of the same name. Listen: “Headlights”

Kimbra: New Zealand by way of Australia’s Kimbra has style — a bevy of it, actually. I saw her at Austin Music Hall, where she was working a ’50s-styled outfit and traversed a diverse musical array of pop, soul and jazzy scat during her rambunctious set. The all-over-the-musical-map approach would appeal to the ADD set and to those who value eclecticism over singular focus. Watch: “Settle Down (Live)”

GIVERS: This Louisiana group (and former MTV PUSH artist), who have performed on the outdoor stage for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” were a helluva a lot of fun, with whimsical ukele, boundless energy and peppy beats. Smiles abounded on stage and were contagious audience-wide. Watch: “Up, Up, Up”

G-Side: Alabama was well-represented both on the Alabama Shakes rock side, and with rap talent from G-Side. The crew, who hail from hard knocks to make good with thoughtful flow and lyrics, killed it on the side stage of last summer’s Pitchfork Music Festival, easily one of the best acts I caught there. The rap duo played a couple of times during SXSW to rave reviews. Listen: The ONE…COHESIVE album.
