Bowflex "Revolution" Home Gym - TOP OF THE LINE MODEL $1800
This is the Best model made by Bowflex. This is a top of the line piece of commercial quality gym equipment. It simply doesn't get any better than this machine. Save OVER $1600 if purchased new today, and it was barely used.....IT DOES EVERYTHING including 100 + workouts routines which will help you to achieve amazing results. Rated top gym in 2 fitness magazines: Men’s Health Magazine had nothing but positive things to say about this model. The machine came out to $3,500+ new with tax & shipping to get to me in CT where I purchased it. I know as I used my neighbors for 6 months 3 times a week before buying my own. This is by far one of the highest quality home gyms I have ever seen, tried, or experienced. The weight is as consistent as machines you find in a gym costing thousands. The limited space that the Revolution takes up is simply amazing when you realize just how much it can actually do! Changing from one exercise to the next takes literally seconds. The most impressive thing about the Bowflex Revolution is the QUALITY. It's smooth, it’s durable, and it's convenient! It's a great product! It folds upright and locks in place for a smaller footprint when not in use if space is tight....see pictures below. If you're thinking about buying one of these new you're going to save $1700 for the exact same machine. This works perfectly, but since I moved, I have no room for it and have it setup in my garage. Please refrain from making ridiculous offers. This is very high end piece of commercial quality gym equipment. For that matter, I cannot respond to any offers less than $1,800. At my asking price you are getting a great deal! When you see it how well this machine works, you will understand. This is a great home gym at a fraction of the price. CASH & PICKUP ONLY. A pickup truck is all you will need.

11/23/09 "Helping people is cool

"Helping people is cool," says Greenwich's Zach Bai, the guitarist and vocalist for Harm's Way, a teen rock band, shortly after it took first prize in the "Please Don't Stop the Music" contest.

Harm's Way beat out three other Fairfield County bands and helped raise more than $3,000 for PeaceWorks, an anti-bullying program in the Domestic Violence Crisis Center, which has offices in Stamford and Norwalk.

Other members of the Greenwich-oriented band include drummer Chris Clark, vocalist/guitarist Vince Urbanowski and bassist Alex Crawford.

Not only does the band appear to have its social priorities in order, but with a sound described as "hard rock tweaked with a little punk," Harm's Way is doing its part to make sure the cause of good music is served as well.

11/21/09 READER SUBMITTED COMMENTS: Joe Lieberman

I respect Joe Lieberman for not letting this healthcare bill get ramrodded through. The house members including Jim Himes haven't read the whole thing through and probably have been given selling points to tell their districts, I would think that a bill of this magnitude would require a little more time and discussion before passing, what's the rush, it won't take effect before 2013.

Jim Himes would probably never have voted for this if he was still at Goldman Sachs, it flys in the face of free enterprise . Chris Dodd, Mr. I never knew anything, give me a break,

The democrats have to come out from under Pelosi's skirt and do whats right for the country. I'm sure their healthcare plan for which they pay nothing for will not be affected at all. So before everyone knocks Joe Lieberman, think about the size and cost of this pending disaster of a bill.

Remember the famous saying " I'm from the government and I'm here to help !

PAALESE !

Charnel Benner, who formerly administered Greenwich's $300 million pension fund, mysteriously leaves her job

You Wont Read This In The Greenwich Time .....

Former Greenwich Retirement Program Administrator
Takes Sudden Leave

Full story: Marin Independent Journal

Charnel Benner, administrator of the Marin County Employees' Retirement Association, went on paid administrative leave Thursday and it was unclear when, or if, she would return.

"That remains to be worked out," said Jim Phillips, chairman of the Marin association's board.

Phillips declined to say whether Benner or the association board initiated the administrative leave. Benner, who lives in San Rafael, could not be reached for comment.

"I think 'mutual' is the best term because it was worked out between us," Phillips said. "It was in the interests of both parties.".....

......Benner oversees the county pension fund's $1.2 billion stock and investment portfolio. She is paid an annual salary of $226,928.

During her tenure in Marin, Benner has been criticized for receiving a high salary and spending freely on a new headquarters while delivering less than stellar results. In June, a Marin civil grand jury reported complaints of "excessive delays in computing and delivering retirement benefits."

"There was a growing backlog in calculating benefits. There were also complaints about discourteous treatment by staff," the report said. The association board stepped up its oversight of Benner after it discovered she had allied herself with an investment broker.

The rate at which Benner's salary has grown - she was paid an annual salary of $155,000 when she was hired - became an issue in 2007 when the association board gave her a three-year, 30 percent raise, making her one of the 10 highest-paid county employees.

Her pay drew scrutiny again in 2008, when the association board granted her a $10,000 bonus.....

.....After the association spent $17.5 million to buy the building at 1 McInnis Parkway near the Marin Civic Center for its headquarters, Benner coordinated the building's remodeling at a cost of about $1.3 million. Amenities included a shower, a kitchen and a reception area enclosed by bullet-proof glass.
