This comes just after Bush vetoed an expansion of S-Chip (twice).
This also comes at a time when Americans are close to crowning Hillary Clinton as their next leader...even though she is one of the top recipients of corrupt Lobbying money from the health insurance industry and the drug companies. And she is supposed to reform healthcare? She is supposed to be the "change" candidate?
This is why I believe American voters are politically/intellectually lazy. It's much easier for Americans to be told how to vote (by the Corporate media) than to do their homework and vote for their best interests. This kind of laziness is the reason why the Country is in the hole that it's in now. And with Clinton, the hole will only get deeper. She will sell you out to the Corporations completely....and send you right down the river with no paddle and no life jacket...

The Guardian
The family of a California teenager plan to sue her health insurer which refused to pay for a liver transplant until hours before and she died on Thursday night.
Her family's lawyer, Mark Geragos, will ask the Los Angeles district attorney to press murder or manslaughter charges against Cigna HealthCare, arguing that the firm "maliciously killed" Nataline Sarkisyan by its reluctance to pay for her treatment. The company reversed its stance after protesters called for a rethink, but the decision came too late.
The 17-year-old from Glendale, California, had been in a coma for weeks after complications following a bone marrow transplant to counter leukaemia.
After the operation, her liver failed and doctors referred her for an emergency transplant. Although she was fully insured and had a matching donor, Cigna refused to pay on the grounds that her healthcare plan "does not cover experimental, investigational and unproven services".
Cigna's rejection on December 11 led Sarkisyan's doctors at UCLA medical centre, including the head of its transplant unit, to write a letter to protest that the treatment which they proposed was neither experimental nor unproven. They called on the firm to urgently review its decision.
In the absence of a response from Cigna, doctors told the Sarkisyan family that the only alternative would be for the family to pay. But they could not afford the immediate down payment of $75,000 (£38,000).
The family, backed by nurses, relatives and Sarkisyan's friends, mounted a protest of 150 people outside Cigna's Glendale offices. "Cigna cannot decide who is going to live and who is going to die," the teenager's mother, Hilda Sarkisyan, told the crowd.
The demo was amplified by an internet campaign orchestrated by the liberal Daily Kos website and other blogs that bombarded Cigna's HQ in Philadephia. In the middle of the rally, a note was handed to Mrs Sarkisyan saying that Cigna had decided to reverse its decision.
"Cigna HealthCare has decided to make an exception in this rare and unusual case and we will provide coverage should she proceed with the requested liver transplant," it said in a statement.
The news drew cheers from the crowd, but they quickly grew sombre when they heard Sarkisyan's condition had deteriorated. A few hours later, her life support was switched off.
"She passed away, and the insurance [company] is responsible for this," Mrs Sarkisyan told the Los Angeles Daily News.
"Why did it take public humiliation for a multibillion-dollar insurance company to force them to provide appropriate medical care?" asked Charles Idelson of the California Nurses Association.
"This is what's wrong with our health system - insurers decide treatment, not doctors."
The protests over Sarkisyan's case point to growing public disenchantment with the healthcare system in America.
Politicians vying to be the Democratic candidate for the presidential race next year have prepared plans for reform to bring the 47 million uninsured Americans into the healthcare net, and to improve terms for those already insured like Sarkisyan.
The subject was given an added boost this summer by Michael Moore's documentary on the state of the American health service, Sicko.
Moore refers to the case of Sarkisyan on his website, under the simple banner: "Justice delayed is justice denied."
Following the teenager's death, Cigna issued another statement yesterday.
"Their loss is immeasurable, and our thoughts and prayers are with them," it said. "We deeply hope that the outpouring of concern, care and love that are being expressed for Nataline's family help them at this time."
The company recently posted figures for its third-quarter performance this year, which showed profits up 22%. Next year it expects to earn an income of up to $1.2bn.

Today's weather forecast: A Brief Respite
The torch has been extinguished but the 2012 Olympics live on in cyberspace through popular memes dedicated to some of the most memorable images of the Games. The Queen of England's icy demeanor during the Opening Ceremony was the first one, but other memes shine a light on some of the Games' most recognizable Olympians. From crass humor to cats, here's a list of this summer's most famous Olympic memes. 1. While we watched Michael Phelps become the most decorated Olympian and enjoyed the Danny Boyle and Kim Gavin-directed spectacles, some were less impressed. (We're talking to you, McKayla Maroney). The image of her scowling face went viral sparking McKayla Maroney is Not Impressed, a Tumblr dedicated to illustrating how even the most incredible feats don't faze her. Unicorns? Meh. Walking on the moon? What's the big deal?2. The most notable face of indifference belongs to the Queen. Perhaps hanging with James Bond and jumping out of a helicopter made the Games seem mundane in comparison. Or maybe that really is her happy face.3. Good looks and abs to match make Ryan Lochte the obvious choice to follow in Ryan Gosling's footsteps with his own "Hey, girl" meme. The photos should entice swarms of smitten women, but the breaststrokes and one-piece humor make it even better. 4. We all know the internet was created for broadcasting cat videos. Web designer Nicholas Longtin took catmania to another level with his Cat Olympics because who doesn't want to see felines fencing, lifting weights, and dunking basketballs?5. What's a good meme list without the so-wrong-it's-almost-right Olympics on Toilets. Whoever thought of putting pictures of divers at their most un-photogenic moment atop a toilet was an innovator. With this one, the image says it all.

Visitor Inventions – What they really wanted for Christmas
"Wow! It's what I always wanted…." is the standard response when you receive presents from your friends and family. But was it really? Whether you received the latest gadget, perfume or socks – some of our visitors dream of receiving jetpack boots, a time machine and a walking toilet.
Below is a selection of inventions that our visitors came up with when in the Launchpad gallery. Click on any image for larger pictures.
Explainer Fact: The Museum is only closed 3 days a year – 24th-26th December
Visitor Drawings – London 2012
'Inspire a generation' – that was the motto for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games. Some of our visitors were so inspired by the Games, when handed some colouring pencils and paper, they were only ever going to draw one thing. And in the true Olympic spirit, our visitors strived to make their drawings the very best they could be!
Here's a selection of London 2012-inspired drawings. Click on any image for larger pictures.
Explainer Fact: Check out the Genium Bionic Prosthetic System and running blade currently being shown in the Antenna gallery.
Visitor Drawings – Love for Science
Eric Schmidt, Google's Executive Chairman, recently visited the Museum to give a presentation on the importance of science museums and their role in inspiring the next generation.
From the number of drawings we receive from our visitors expressing their love for science (and the Museum itself), we must be doing something right!

We give our visitors the tools (colouring pencils and paper) to doodle down any ideas they have whilst in our Launchpad gallery.
Some creations are pure genius. Others, lets face it, are a bit weird. However, there is definitely a common theme. Most of the inventions we get from the kiddies are either about food or homework/housework robots. Basically anything that makes their lives easier.
Here's a small selection of the inventions drawn up by some of our imaginative visitors. Click on any image to see bigger pictures.
Explainer Fact: We get through 100,000 paper trace cards every year (used ones get recycled).
Your inventions
What are disco-dancing music shoes and stomping robot ponies doing in the Science Museum? Well…
Launchpad is our 'hands-on minds-on' gallery which is all about asking questions and making sense of the way things work.
The interactive exhibits (echo tube, air cannon, bubble wall etc) can get the kids pretty excited, so for a change of pace we encourage them sit down and draw a picture.
Sometimes they draw themselves playing in the gallery, sometimes it'll be their vision of the future or an idea for a crazy new invention. The drawings are then displayed on the wall for everyone to see.
We've got hundreds tucked safely away and we're going to start sharing the best of them via this blog.
But to give you a taste of what's to come check out this wonderful animation. It was made by Sierk Heintzmann, who scanned some of the drawings before animating them with a soundtrack of the kids who created them. Watch out for the stomping robot ponies…

What Is Amazing (Wesleyan Poetry)by Heather Christle
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Inspired by a voracious curiosity about humans and other subjects, the poems in Heather Christle's What Is Amazing describe and invent worlds in an attempt to understand through participation. The book draws upon the wisdom of foolishness and the logic of glee, while simultaneously exploring the suffering inherent to embodied consciousness. Speakers play out moments of bravado and fear, love and mortality, disappointment and desire. They socialize incorrigibly with lakes, lovers, fire, and readers, reasoning their way to unreasonable conclusions. These poems try to understand how it is that we come to recognize and differentiate objects and beings, how wholly each is attached to its name, and which space reveals them. What Is Amazing delights in fully inhabiting its varied forms and voices, singing worlds that often coincide with our own.
"For her third full-length collection, Christle expands her formal palette while retaining the inquisitiveness and playfulness that have made her poems so intoxicating to her growing number of fans. The tight lineation and white-space experiments of her previous work remain, but here she uses shorter lines in poems that mix a sense of childlike naïveté with grown-up investigations of the troubles of romantic entanglement as well as more ephemeral topics and unfamiliar mental spaces: 'and your body is a long silk bag/ full of lightweight batteries/ arranged on the floor.' Yet Christle threads existential darkness and black humor throughout these poems, as in the title piece in which 'That man thinks he is a man/ but he is a candle.// Who will tell him?/ He will be destroyed// and his wife will be on fire./ Life is tough for that man especially.' Hip and almost self-consciously contemporary, but also alive to the often overwhelming excitements of the Internet age, Christle's new poems will beckon more readers her way."

So I took my first indoor cycling class this weekend. That's a group workout on exercise bikes. My brother is a member at a health club, and got me a pass to come join him. He usually goes to this class three times per week on the bike trainer and has talked at some length about how great it is and that I really should give it a whirl sometime.
Regular readers of this space know that I ride year-round as a commuter, plus do longer group and bike trail rides for fun when the weather is nice. Coming from that mindset, I have to admit that I wondered at the appeal of "riding" indoors, when being outside is usually at least an occasional option. But being a good sport, I gave it a try. And it was . . . okay.
I'm not sure I could do it three times a week. And I know that I definitely prefer riding outdoors. But it was a workout, that's for sure. I was sweating so much by the end, one of the workers had to come around my bike with a squeegee.
Could an indoor cycling class be right for you? Read my complete review and find out what a group class on stationary bikes is all about.
Do you take group classes on the exercise bike? What do you like about them? Comment below.

Although they can make you sweat yourself silly, spin classes at health clubs have serious drawbacks. The "bikes" are disasters, extremely difficult to fit correctly. The resistance mechanisms feel completely unrealistic, the pedals do not allow real spinning, the seats are terrible. You are much better off setting up your bike on a good trainer at home and using the CTS DVD's. The training is bike specific, not boot camp aerobics meets health club. And, if you get members of your local bike club to join you a few nights a week in winter, you'll have more fun and work harder too.

I have been taking spinning classes for about 5 years now. They are great in the winter and spring to get you prepped for your seasonal bike rides and it is a great way to exercise. All of the classes were syncronized to music and some had aerobics in between sets. Gotta find a new place here in the west.
- February 21, 2008 at 10:17 am(3) Didi says:
Spinning keeps my heart and lungs in good condition for a lengthy outdoor ride. I like to ride 30+ miles on Saturday mornings (when it is warm enough)and spin class keeps my cycling skills strong enough to do that. The stationary bikes are getting a little run down these days and the routine can seem monotonous especially when I haven't been on a real ride in a couple of months. The spin class goers in my 5:30 a.m. class know each other by name, introduce themselves to newbies and make the sweat filled room a fun place to be. Would I rather be outside? You bet! But without the spin class, I'd have to start from scratch in the Spring.
- February 28, 2008 at 4:17 am(4) Debi says:
I have been doing RPM a side exercise of spinning and love it! I love the motivation of the music and really feel I've had a proper workout. I'm even cranking up the resistance now. I used to cheat a bit before which is great if you are new to fitness and can't keep up. But watch out for hawk eyed teachers: They may catch you!!!
- February 28, 2008 at 6:08 pm(5) Sherri says:
As a Spinning Instructor, I appreciate your bringing some attention to Spin/Cycle classes. Half of my class are outdoor riders who want to keep pedaling during our very long Michigan winters and half are there for calorie burning. Although I have a specific goal for each class (intervals, hills, endurance, race) each rider is encouraged to follow his/her own performance goals if it differs from mine. Many of the outdoor cyclists have their own goal in mind and they know what they are doing. What I would love to get across to people is that the classes are for all fitness levels and there is no reason to be intimated. Sure we would all love to be outdoors all year long whether we're cyclists or runners, but in Michigan we have to settle for the spin classes and treadmills until the ice melts and we return to the place we once knew, and euphoric that another winter has passed!
- February 28, 2008 at 8:20 pm(6) Terry says:
Spinning classes are what got my wife and I into biking. We love spinning in the winter and biking trail in the summer. I road bike with the bike club and commute to work in the summer. Thanks to the spinning classes.
- March 3, 2008 at 8:26 am(7) Barb says:
I started spinning about a month ago & I love it. I started classes because I always bring up the rear on Saturday morning friends rides. I thought spinning would help to improve my strength & endurance. It has!!! I'm also using spinning to adjust to the clipless system. I know that when I get back on the road with the clipless shoes I'll probably fall, but hopefully not too much.
Peace & Harmony
- September 6, 2008 at 10:35 pm(8) lina latartara says:
I absolutely love to spin!!!!!I have been spinning for 6 months 3-4 times a week. I really think the music and whos teaching the class is a huge factor. No doubt about it, its a very hard workout
- September 13, 2008 at 11:28 am(9) Mike says:
Being an avid road cyclist and spinning instructor, I can attest to the benefits of both means of exercise.
I hammered out close to 5,000 miles on my road bike last year, and I teach 3-5 spinning classes a week.
I love it! Being an ex-distance runner, the cycling allows me to go beyond the norms of cardio related exercise, but it spares my knees the associated pain.
The biggest kick I get out of stationary spinning is sharing my adventures with my students. The music is loud, hard driving, and the sweat is flying.
I am always honest with my students, and I have told them many times, "When you are tired, I am tired. I just get tired with a smile on my face."
- October 3, 2008 at 11:18 am(10) Mary says:
Count me in as someone else that loves spinning! give me a good teacher and some good music and I'm a happy girl. okay, maybe not that happy DURING the hour i'm working out, but very happy as soon as I'm done! The more I sweat, the more I feel like I accomplished something good for myself!
- October 20, 2008 at 9:45 pm(11) Rox says:
I just have started spinning classes a month ago with my daughter. I really enjoy them and gives the energy for my everyday activities. The music and the lights keep me going and going and pedaling. It's a great work out.
- October 25, 2008 at 8:46 pm(12) Lydia says:
Ive been spinning for almost a year (10-11 months) to be exact!! , I've shed 7 kilos to this day, do up to 2-3 times a week (but a max 4 times, since i heard doing it everyday isn't good for you). My next goal is to get cycle shoes
- November 12, 2008 at 2:08 pm(13) Glenn says:
I typically spin when I can't be on the road riding. I do spinning out of the saddle for an hour as a climb (about 800 cals). This augments the "head down/ in the saddle" riding I do on the roads. Nice to be able to hear some tunes and not have to avoid traffic. I have my favorite tunes that match my cadence.
- November 14, 2008 at 11:16 am(14) Earthcall says:
The colossal reason to joining the gym is the diversity of classes available. The spinning class eggs me on to test my endurance and increase my dexterity. I look forward to aerobics as well… but for the past 3 yrs, i have found the spinning to fit into my vibe, induced by the booming high volumes. Originally, technological visualizations are projected, so sights engage you into the groove. Yet, without this installation, i think there are other relevant considerations that prevail – the commitment vehemently shown by the trainer, the variety of music to live throughout the weeks etc… thus, motivation can be affected positively in this program, ignoring any discomfiture.
- January 21, 2009 at 11:02 pm(15) Tim says:
I think spinning is a great exercise. I prefer to ride outside of course, but living in UT, riding in the winter can be uncomfortable and dangerous. "Group" fitness has a lot of advantages in my mind, namely an instructor and others in the class to help motivate you. Sitting in your own house on a trainer can be somewhat boring. Spinning also allows me to push harder aerobically than I would if I were riding because I don't have to worry about going too hard and suffering on the ride home.
- January 26, 2009 at 11:29 am(16) Emma says:
I spin at least 2-3 times a week and love it!
It is a fun and lively way to keep fit and meet people as a lot are regulars!
You won't leave a spin class without having owrked up a good sweat – And if you do then you havn't cranked up the resistance enough =oP
if sceptical, you should definitely give it ago…I didn"t think I'd be able to keep up but I'm now a regular spinner and find the routine of classes after work addictive now!
- January 28, 2009 at 11:39 pm(17) Paula says:
I have been doing spinning for a week now. I love the cranked up music and the visualizations the instructor gives. I am a beginner brand new to spinning so I have my gear much lower than the instructor gives but as many others have said I still leave drenched with sweat.
- March 9, 2009 at 3:07 pm(18) JW says:
spin class is one of the most challenging fitness classes i've ever participated in. i work out 5 times a week doing everything from cardio kickboxing to pilates, but i can barely make it through a spin class. that's not really a bad thing, though. i know spinning will boost my cardio and endurance to an even higher level, and that keeps me motivated.
- March 20, 2009 at 3:30 am(19) suzie says:
I disagree with Tim. Although it is always great to get outdoors a spin class is a great 1 hour workout. The bikes at other clubs must be cheap, because at my gym they fit really well and feel very similar to a real bike.
- April 8, 2009 at 7:53 pm(20) April says:
I started attending spin classes a few months ago after having my 2nd child. I find it to be the best work out for me. I've never worked out so hard in my life. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a change in their work out and motivation to keep going.
- April 27, 2009 at 2:11 pm(21) Arielle says:
I've found the spin class to be a very intense workout. I just started taking them at my local gym a week ago, and bowed out gracefully after participating in my first class for 30 min. of the 45 min. workout. Our instructor warned the newcomers to be prepared to feel it later on in our glutes. However maybe because I'm a jogger I didn't feel anything there. The discomfort was in my upper thighs during and after the class. But guess what, I was back again for the next one a couple of days later and hung in there the whole time. I've been intimidated by this classes for quite some time, but now that I've gotten involved I'm committing myself to being there twice a week.
- July 5, 2009 at 5:38 am(22) Lili says:
I'm newly joined spinning class.I exercise three times a week and really enjoy it. It's wonderful. I become so fresh and full of energy after class. I propose everyone to do it. If I had enough time i would do it every day.Thanks to my friend who made me aware of this class.
- August 17, 2009 at 11:53 pm(23) Joe says:
I have been doing this crazy,sweaty,loud,hard,easy,fun,cardio,endurance,persistence,never-give-up,push it to the limit,add more resistance,add,add,add,add…Crazy thing called SPINNING for 7 years and would NEVER go back to boring stairmasters and treadmills. This is for the 5:45 am class at LA Fitness, COME ON!!!!
- August 26, 2009 at 12:06 am(24) Jackie says:
After reading everyone's comments I think Im going to give it a try!!. I am not athletic, im not even in good shape! But I joined the gym 2 weeks ago and I love a good challenge. The trainers at the gym have been hounding me to try the spin classes and I have been terrified of making a fool of myself!! Cant wait now, thanks!
- September 9, 2009 at 11:40 pm(25) mari says:
I've just started a spin class two days ago and I got to say like every one else it is the best. I'm a runner and have enjoyed running but this spin class has pushed me to a different level.
- October 18, 2009 at 1:22 am(26) Jessie says:
Spinning really is a great alternative to doing nothing in the winter. It hurts but when you're done it feels good!
- December 9, 2009 at 9:03 am(27) Tammy says:
I attended my first spin class last night. I am not a jogger or an advid outdoor cyclist. I am just getting back into an exercise routine. The class very good. I thoroughly enjoyed it! My glutes were killing me but I hung in there and finished the class. Does anyone have suggestions about the pain? I am going back to class tomorrow.
- December 12, 2009 at 11:45 am(28) maryann says:
Jackie, please give it a try…you will not be sorry. I am new to spinning too and if I can do it you certainly can. I've been doing 2 or 3 spin classes a week for a few weeks now and I love it more and more. It is a nice change from the regular aerobics. My trainer has our group doing an Exercise Holiday coutndown until the new year and this has fit in nicely. I am going to start the new year stronger.
- December 14, 2009 at 2:54 pm(29) Peyton says:
I suppose the guy that put spin down must can't do it! I love spin! I have been taking spin classes for about 4 years now and they are wonderful! The class is a intense one hour class that works every part of your body! It also keeps those unwanted pounds off.
- December 18, 2009 at 3:30 pm(30) Cathy says:
Took my first spin class this morning. I go to the gym 5-7 days a week and have been in a treadmill rut. I was scared to try spin, since I saw people leave the class drenched in sweat, but WOW. That was one great workout. I'm hooked and can't wait to take another class.
- December 19, 2009 at 9:03 pm(31) geoffrey says:
From New Zealand where winters are not so severe as in some climes in North America. I do spin classes 4 times a week and find them fantastic in maintaining and increasing my aerobic fitness when comes the time to hit the road. Do other classes and find them easier to last because of the spin classes. Balance is important.
- January 1, 2010 at 5:53 pm(32) Dawna says:
This is embarrassing but, I was really into spinning a few years back and loved it for many reasons already mentioned. I had to quit though because I kept getting a yeast infection! (Told you it was embarrassing!) I went home right after class and showered immediately, and am a very clean person, but the constant movement when sitting on the seat was causing it I guess. Anyone with a helpful suggestion would be wonderful as I'd love to get back to it! A friend mentioned getting my own seat, but I don't know if that would matter or not. Thanks!
- January 13, 2010 at 11:02 am(33) Kevin says:
Not sure why is so addicting, but I have been going about 2 months now and really like it. You get out of it what you put into it. You only work as hard as you want and the music and instructor really are a good motivator.
- January 18, 2010 at 9:01 am(34) Joseph says:
I'm 22 and joined spinning about 5 days ago and had 2 spinning classes on the trot (very sore quads) and one yesterday. It is so good I've already booked 4 lessons for this week, its just a shame the gym I go to is at a school because working out in the mornings is brilliant and sets you up for the day and we can only go after school time for obvious reasons. I'm currently training for the Army and Spinning seems to be the best way to work out and lose weight at the same time!!
- January 21, 2010 at 10:11 am(35) Jane says:
Jane – your problem with the infections is being caused by dampness/not wearing breathable underwear and/or bottoms. Using a different seat isn't going to have any effect one way or the other. I would recommend wearing 100% cotton undies and, if possible, cotton or some other type of very breathable, NOT tight or fitted pants or shorts when you exercise. That should take care of your issue. Good luck!

Spinning is as much mental, as it is a psychical workout. It's great for the body and the mind. Clear your mind when you go in the class and just focus on the music and the ride! It's awesome!

I started spinning at my apartment complex 2 years ago (it's free so why not) I love it! It's an intense cardio and leg workout, I go 2 days a week for an hour class, I've lost inches around my waist and my legs are more tone.
The only downfall is the top of my legs are bigger but it's all muscle which is alot better than fat!
I would definitly recommend spinning to anyone especially in the winter months,it's awesome!
- April 22, 2010 at 12:07 pm(38) Stephanie says:
I have been attending spin class for seven weeks, and I love it. Each class makes me stronger. I love the loud music and the motivation of the instructor.I work hard, sweat like I never have, and consume between two and three bottles of water.I have lost severval inches throughout my upper, mid, and lower body. It's an awesome class!
- July 14, 2010 at 11:47 am(39) OMG says:
Out of all the comments no one mentioned how sore my bottom would be. I enjoyed the class (except that my straps wouldn't stay on) but I could tell about 10 minutes in if nowhere else my bottom would be sore.

I love Spin class, I just recently got these and I don't know how I ever rode without them.
They cover the gross handlebars and absord all that sweat! Come in a bunch of colors… and I throw them right in the washer machine…Love them!
- January 5, 2011 at 12:00 pm(41) Mary says:
I did my first spinning class last night and I HATED it with all my heart. My feet kept on getting numb and the seat was extremely uncomfortable (it hurts my privates!!!). Also I am a very short woman so I felt that I was too far away from the handles and that made me feel insecure and had back pain. Anyway…I tried! but I could only last 30 minutes. After that I got down and waited for my feet to "wake up" before getting on the treadmill and jogging away happily.
I hope I will never have to do it again!!!!!
- February 9, 2011 at 12:11 pm(42) Val Brown says:
My first spin class was today loved it that much have booked again for the end of the week.Felt really invigorated pushed myself to the limits but enjoyed every minute of it.Puts normal stretch and tone into a very boring class after doing spin.
- March 2, 2011 at 5:22 am(43) Rod says:
Ive been doing 2-3 spinning classes per week now for the last month, and im not a cyclist at all. I have to say is one of most challenging and rewarding classes out there. Its there in your face, right there,right now, blood sweat and tears. I love it , the sweat pours off you and what you put in, is what you get out.
Its all more mentally challenging as physical and thats what i love about it, basiscally your body pain threshold against your will, can you take the pain!!!

am spinnig instrocor in lebanon im book i do 4 hours every day i have 25 bics
- May 16, 2011 at 4:20 am(45) Sarah says:
Mary, you should have the instructor set you up properly on the bike at the beginning of the class. A half decent bike should be adjustable (seat height, distance from the handlebars and height of the handlebars) If you're feet were going numb it is likely that the straps on your feet were too tight. The back pain could also be accounted for be adjusting the handlebar height and seat distance from the handlebars. With regard to the "saddle discomfort" problem, i feel your pain. If you're seat height is too high, it does put extra pressure on your "saddle", and you end up moving around a lot more in the seat if it is too high, which makes it even worse. You can also try sitting further back on the seat so the widest part of the seat is under your "sit bones" rather than having all of your weight on the more narrow front part of the seat. I have a similar problem with my road bicycle and have had to adjust the way I sit on the bike in order to be comfortable. I guess my "saddle area" is designed differently to some other women who don't seem to have this problem! Also, the design of the spin class bike seats is really pretty bad. I would give it another go but make sure you have the bike set up properly at the start.

hello im a mother of four im going to start the class this week i hope it helps with my legs im looking forward to toning my legs fast as possible.
- August 21, 2011 at 7:40 am(47) vellerie says:
I have done spinning and have loose weight around my upper body and lower part. I'm happy with the results and I have been doing it for a month now.
- December 8, 2011 at 10:14 pm(48) Steve says:
Spinning is generic, yes its not as appealing as riding outdoors but its convenient! Bikes can be a nightmare though it depends on the make and where you go. So judging a class on its bikes is wrong. I've been teaching spin for over 6 years and the results and changes in peoples body composition is dramatic! A great spin class consists of good music, the environment and the instructor. Look out for LES MILLS RPM, people qualifed in this have a very clear idea of how to coach and gauge resitance properly whilst setting the scene for its members. Only few health clubs offer this on their class timetable around the UK but if you try it… You'll never go back to the original and ordinary spin class. Not that spin is less acceptable as it gives the instructor freedom, but if you become competent at RPM, spin classes will become a doddle!
- January 6, 2012 at 11:19 pm(49) Michele says:
I used to spin years back, but this week got back into it. I've gone to three classes this week. The older bikes made it extremely difficult to stay on top of the seat. It seemed to lean downward which was very hard.
I do use my gel padded seat which is a lifesaver. LA Fitness has the "Keiser" bikes, which are so much more advanced. Adjusting to any height and length is possible now and these ones don't lean downwards. What a difference it has made in the class. But maybe cuz I'm new again to spin, and am totally wiped out afterwards where I just have to lay down and rest afterwards. guess I'm working out so hard. I'm tired not necessarily sore cuz I do workout regularly. It is definitely the hardest of workouts.
But if the instructor says go to 14 or 20, I can only do 10 or so, and they do tell you to adjust it to your level. I just want to make sure I finish the whole class before I can even make it to that level. Now I look on class schedules and try to find a spin class first. I'm hooked also. but it's a good hooked.
- April 18, 2012 at 6:06 am(50) fran says:
Spinning classes are great.But there is one thing you must be careful of.Some instructors tend to put into the 45 min or 60 min class a lot of standing time on the peddles sometimes 10 min pushing resistance up every so often.This can be very hard on you knees.Coming from a road bike background you would never dance on the peddles for more than 45 sec.You would get as fit and as strong by spinning a high cadence at lower resistance.Especially those of you whom may vary in weight.
- May 8, 2012 at 9:41 pm(51) Al says:
I did not enjoy the class. I guess I didn't like the fact that we were all standing still in the same spot in the room, yet somehow we were all sweaty and moving our legs a lot and standing up and sitting down intermittenly. Every once in a while the sweaty instructor with loads of muscles says into the microphone "all right we're gonna go real hard on this one! three two one go!!!!!!!!!" and everyone is supposed to pedal as fast as they can. it's just frickin weird man. not for me thats for sure. I guess i prefer an outdoor joyride to count as some real exercise.
- December 13, 2012 at 1:21 pm(52) John says:
I agree with Al. Let me say this first. Spin class is great for people who live at places where being outside during the day is not possible (rain, snow, wind, pollution, etc.) or just don't have time because of work and can only exercise at nights. Otherwise, it can get pretty boring after a while even with a fun instructor. Just think of it as treadmill v.s. running outside. At where I live the weather is awesome most of the time with much better air quality than an enclosed gym plus you get to see the scenery or all kind of things (never the same) going on outside. Just like the spin class, you can join a bike club/team/casual riders to ride together so it is more fun. Also, you build muscles in more places on your body than if you are just stationary since being outside leads you to all kinds of road conditions.

I am a 46 year old mother of 6 my youngest is 4, up until 12 years ago i was a s fit as a fiddle but a smoker. I gradually put weight on over the years and done no exercise just maybe the odd walk, then about 3 years ago i gave up the fags…then last year i peaked at 14 stone and decided enough was enough, I started fitness training, strength training and aquarobics then they started spin classes locally in November I joined and I absolutely love it i do it 2 -3 a week, I am losing the weight and the inches are flying off….I think I will be Spinning till am 106…. so you don't have to be young or in full fitness to try just try and watch the benefits……
- February 4, 2013 at 3:15 pm(54) gray says:
I've had a number of injuries/surgeries over the last 10 years, with a few more coming. I used to love riding but it's just too dangerous now. In the 'real world' there's stresses that can worsen injuries and I don't want to risk it. I don't want to sit around either. So an exercise bike (as well as other static cardio) is ideal. No pollution, cars to cut you off, or imbalance to further damage my already diminishing cartilage. Anyone that can't handle biking on the road due to fitness level, medical issues etc. would benefit greatly from this kind of workout, not just athletes. A class environment isn't required, but it's ideal for beginners, those with poor fitness, anyone that needs some structure to keep at it. People who can stay self-motivated don't really need a 'class' but it can be a lot more fun when you do it with other people. Personally I find that a book or a movie is far more effective. Set a pace, and distract yourself from how much it hurts, or music with the right beat to keep a pace you can handle. I'm pretty antisocial though, and 'normal' people would probably enjoy some companionship when working out.

I can't ride a bike! So spinning is brilliant for me love it but worried ill get hip/ knee problems

i am female ,54yrs and run go to gym and body balance.today after gym i was persauded to do a half hr spin class. tough!! have been feeling sleepy ever since and just want to sleep. have i done to much? dont feel energised atall.!
- September 14, 2013 at 4:45 pm(57) bill says:
The problem with spin is your bodyweight helps you. The bigger you are, the easier it is to push the pedals. It is sort of "fake" exercise because you don't have to move your bodyweight, and real work is MxD. That said, it is a great workout for heavy people who don't like to move or little runners who need more leg endurance. If you really want to get a workout, try Crossfit

To the Adirondack Journal:
We are pleased that the Adirondack Journal is keeping the public informed about the changes and improvements coming with the new Warrensburg Health Center — "Warrensburg Health Center plans revealed," Dec. 1 edition.
One area that wasn't mentioned in the article is our pediatric program, which serves youngsters from many communities.
Each year, the Warrensburg Health Center has 11,000 patient visits from children, adolescents and teens. More than 4,000 of these visits are sick youngsters who are seen, without appointments, in the health center's urgent care department.
Pediatricians are available at the health center five days a week. To make sure that we can take care of everyone, the new health center will include more exam rooms and improved space.
We hope that our patients and their parents are as excited about the coming changes as we are.
The Pediatric Team:
Eugene McTiernan, MD
Anjana Poonthota, MD
Christina Kay, FNP
Judy Budner, RN
Lori Bradway, LPN

Chancery: Petty Bag Office: Sacrament Certificates
Sacrament certificates presented in Chancery by Crown office-holders in accordance with the 1672 Popish Recusants Act (or Test Act).
They are signed by the minister or churchwarden of the parish in which the office-holder received communion, most of which are within a thirty mile radius of London and Westminster (in Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Surrey and Kent).
By the Test Act of 1672 anyone holding office or a place of trust under the Crown had to take the oaths of allegiance and supremacy. If the office-holders lived within thirty miles of London the oaths were to be taken in either the Court of Chancery or in King's Bench; if the office-holders lived further afield the oaths were to be taken at the local quarter sessions.
Since the purpose of the act was to ensure that only Anglicans could hold office, the act also provided that anyone taking the test oaths must recently have received the sacrament of the Lord's Supper according to the usage of the Church of England. As evidence that someone had received the sacrament a certificate was to be completed, signed by the minister and churchwarden of the parish where communion had taken place, with the signatures of two witnesses appended. The certificate was then to be delivered to the court at the same time as the office-holder took the test oaths.
Taking the test oaths and presenting a sacrament certificate was not a requirement solely for existing office-holders; future holders of office had to do the same, within a term of being admitted to office. Between 1708 and 1711 all foreign Protestants who took the oaths of allegiance and supremacy in court, and who produced a sacrament certificate, were deemed to have been naturalised.

The year is 55 BC and the Celts rule the British Isles. But for how much longer?
When two young Celts, Niall and Ronan, spy Roman ships anchored off the coast of their island home, they know that the fate of their people rests in their hands. Led by a young Julius Caesar, the Romans are determined to conquer this new land. Can Niall and Ronan warn the Celt chiefs before it's too late?
It's a well known fact that the Romans conquered Britain and stayed there four hundred years. But what is often forgotten is Julius Caesar's failed attempt to conquer the island. A combination of bad planning, bad weather and a united force of Celt warriors sent the Romans packing.
A United Force is a historical graphic novel that takes readers back to Julius Caesar's first invasion of what is now Britain. As a part of Scholastic's Timeline Series of graphic novels.
A United Force combines historical fiction with fact, to take readers age 8 – 14 years back in time for adventure and learning that ties into school curricula across North America.

|Years played
|2009, 6th round, 21st pick by Eagles
Dolphins make changes in secondary
With injuries and poor play hurting their secondary, the Dolphins signed CB Jonathan Wade and released S Gerald Alexander on Tuesday.
Readers: Colts will finish with worst record
Readers to a PFW web poll asking, "Which team do you think will finish with the worst record this season?" believe that the Colts will be that team.
Shorts and Shells: Week Eight
Even on bye, the Packers are the envy of teams at the other end of the standings, who are eyeing Pack staffers like Reggie McKenzie. Also, Bill Belichick's questionable coaching move, and more from Week Eight.
Giants rally, keep Dolphins winless
Eli Manning threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Victor Cruz with 5:58 to play and the Giants barely avoided a post-bye letdown, keeping Miami winless with a 20-17 victory.
Dolphins downgrade CB Davis, RB Thomas to out
The Dolphins downgraded CB Vontae Davis and RB Daniel Thomas to out for Sunday's game against the Giants with hamstring injuries.
Sparano avoids in-season firing, but regime change coming
Head coach Tony Sparano won't be in charge of the Dolphins in 2012, but it appears he will remain on board and go down with the ship this season.
The First Fifteen: Week Eight
Tebow-mania heads to Denver as the Broncos face the struggling Lions; AFC heavyweights New England and Pittsburgh could aim deep; Eagles-Cowboys is big; and more.
Dolphins' defense continues to disappoint
The Dolphins' defense was supposed to keep them in games. In their two best chances to win this season, the defense has broken down in the fourth quarter.
Shorts and Shells: Week Seven
We take a look at the Dolphins' horrible Week Seven performance, on and off the field; Brian Robison's ill-advised kick; the Chiefs' ugly awesomeness; and plenty more.
Tebow rallies Broncos to overtime win over Miami
Tim Tebow rallied the Broncos with two TD passes in the final 2:44 of the fourth quarter to force OT, and Matt Prater's 52-yard field goal gave them an improbable 18-15 win over the Dolphins.
Carey's move to guard helping Dolphins' run game
Vernon Carey, who moved from right tackle to right guard in camp, is a big reason for the Dolphins' improved running game.
Dolphins avoid blackout
Tim Tebow wasn't enough for the Dolphins to sell the necessary amount of tickets to avoid a blackout, so they partnered with Bud Light to purchase the remaining tickets.
Dolphins sign S Alexander, put WR Wallace on I.R.
The Dolphins signed S Gerald Alexander and placed WR Roberto Wallace on injured reserve, the team announced Wednesday.
Former Dolphin player faces battery charge
Former Dolphins WR James McKnight was arrested Tuesday after a domestic violence incident in South Florida.
The First Fifteen: Week Seven
In this early look at the league's action in Week Seven, we talk Tim Tebow, the rest of the QB changes potentially afoot, and plenty more.
Gibson has signed with the Miami Dolphins, giving young quarterback Ryan Tannehill a third new target through free agency.||||||| Gibson, who signed Friday, spent the past four seasons with the St. Louis Rams, where he made 38 starts. Last year he had 51 receptions for a career-high 691 yards and five touchdowns while starting 13 games.

Some newly listed vintage & pieces from my past handmade collection I am selling off. I hate to see them go, but must have space in my new place.

in the words of the Mamas & the Papas, :
I used to live in new york city
Every thing there was dark and dirty
Outside my window was a steeple
With a clock that always said 12:30
Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the morning I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I can't keep myself from talking.
At first so strange to feel so friendly
To say good morning and really mean it
To feel these changes happening in me
But not to notice till I feel it.
Cloudy waters cast no reflection
Images of beauty lie there stagnant
Vibrations bounce in no direction
And lie there shattered into fragments.
Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the morning I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I can't keep myself from talking.
An Exit Statement…
I am taking a much needed break from fashion design…I'm giving California a try… Please take advantage of all the sale has to offer and thanks for your support these last six years. I've reached 1000 sales, which I never would have imagined when I first started. Etsy has given me strength, beauty, love, support, true friends & a wonderful lifestyle where I can support myself sewing!! Being able to share what I make has been a tremendous dream come true. I am someone who used to watch fashion tv and read countless magazines dreaming of cooler clothes than what was available in my small Pennsylvania town. I used to sew and paint and sculpt and put together costumes… I would make my own clothes at 14 and courageously wear them to my conservative Catholic school on "dress-down days". One time, I wore a purple jersey drape top I made; and a snarky popular boy asked if I had made it. Excitedly, I said yes, only to hear him say, "Well thank God, I would hope you would never pay money for that." Fourteen years later, I am a two-time almost contestant on Project Runway. I got to meet Tim Gunn & Zanna Roberts twice, as well as Christian Sirriano. I've been lucky enough to have gotten mention in Lucky Magazine, Bust Magazine, Style.com, the Martha Stewart Show, the Huffington Post, Daily Candy, The Awl, and others.
I've had fashion shows to rave reviews, I've sold at numerous boutiques, shows, fairs, etc. I've taught sewing classes at Etsy and NYU. I shared studio space with prolific designers and artists. I sewed for The Row & Ohne Titel, as well as gotten to see shows firsthand, such as Rachel Roy. Magic has happened. I can't even recount all I have done or all that has happened. I've never worked harder in my life and I have the grey hairs to prove it. Life has been very satisfying being my own boss. It's also been remarkably challenging. I am taking a leave of absence and leaving knowing I worked my absolute hardest and put my business first 90% of the time. Life is what you make of it. You can truly do anything you put your mind to. Do what you love. You only live one life. Thank you for making these last six years magical.

My sister found this awesome iPhone app that makes any iPhone photo into a slew of different retro-esque photos. There are a several filters that make that regular ole photo of her dog into a 1975 polaroid of her dog. I'm now addicted. I freaking love old photos and films and film stills and so Instagram is my homeboy.
It does a pretty good job, eh? Instagram

Thank you!!!
I don't know about you, but I get waaaay too much snail mail from all over the spectrum of N/A to me or what I buy.
I don't know how they do it, but they find you and solicit your butt off. In the last two years, I have gotten car insurance, car consolidation loan, car trading, and car leasing information from a dozen companies. I haven't owned a car since 2005.
They also managed to somehow pinpoint that my supposed car is a "Hyundai", as several companies have offered me better insurance deals on my Korean make, and some have even offered up better car choices for me. Upon receiving my first group of papers for car-related stuff, I freaked out and called the Social Security Office. I was convinced that someone had stolen my identity and bought a car… I was wrong. They are just that creepy.
Another slew of letters I have gotten lately have been from The New York Review of Books. I read.. A LOT, but how did they find me? I always buy secondhand books on amazon.com, but how the hell would …
I am guessing that some or most of my mail is related to one giant conglomerate of snail mail dispersers… like the Hain Celestial Group of snail mail. (If you don't know them, look them up, they own everything natural food. )
Last night, I decided to move my many spices into simple jars. What better tool to make out of a piece of snail mail, than a funnel!?
I don't even know what they expect us to do with this paper. The unspoken up until now, is how freaking wasteful this is, this trend of blind solicitation. I estimate that in a single year, I get 312 pieces of UNWANTED & UNWARRANTED snail mail (that's a lowball of just 6 pieces per week). I'm just one person. Multiply this possible letter amount by the people in the U.S…
(pieces of mail x Google's public data estimate of residents of the U.S. in 2009)
F*CK. that's 95 BILLION PIECES OF MAIL PER YEAR BEING DISPERSED.
Now, I just made those numbers up based on how much I get and the population count also includes children, who don't get mail, but I am sure that business owners, families of five, and other especially alluring peoples get more junkmail than me. In any case, even if you cut that number into thirds, it's horrific.
Let's keep letters for love & penpals. Email is a beautiful thing.

A super-sized tote is useful for lots of things btu I designed this tote so that I could easily carry 2 or more quilts to my Guild meetings. The tote is about 24" wide and 20" tall. It is designed with 2 sets of handles so that you can carry it as a tote or as a shoulder bag. It's perfect for short people, like me, because it doesn't drag the ground with your arm fully extended.
It is fully lined and has one large pocket on the inside.
Of course you can make it special with your own artistic touches. A quilted bag would look great. For this bag I started with my Beach Walk gradient and added some stencil and screen print effects.
For this version I started with a color swatch fabric and added Accuquilt Go! appliques and buttons.

The ultra modern steaming mop released by Bissell is the Steam & Sweep Pet Hard Floor Cleaner 46B43, one of the best steam aided mops that many homeowners dream of owning. Please scroll down the redirected page, to learn how to use it, where one may see the operational details, right from filling the mop to the end of spotless cleaning operation.
Bissell Steam and Sweep Mop
The review guides through the main features, advantages and rating of the latest steam-mops from Bissell, Hoover and others. My cousin has been using this steam cleaner for an year, and I will like to share her personal experiences in these reviews. I have also collected information from other users around my locality who have been using it.
Performance Capability: The great thing about this product is that while it is sweeping the floor, it is mopping the floor, as well. As such, this steam mop helps to save a lot of time on cleaning the floors. Some persons are still wondering whether or not the Bissell steam mop is capable of performing the tasks that it claims. Well, those who already own this steam mop say, yes it does.
The Eco-friendly Linoleum floors enhanced with carpet flooring just help anyone keep his house warm like a mother's nature. They cannot be exposed to ordinary mops for cleaning purposes. A linoleum floor can easily get damaged by scrubbing mops because of their low quality materials. All that, forces me to unleash the comparison table for some efficient and convenient carpet cleaning techniques.
Our Expectations
WE can suppose steam Vacs and Floor Mops to remove stains from almost anything and get rid of bacteria, at the same time, but I bet what one likes to have is, that is a cut above the rest, and translates to having a steam cleaner for getting rid of more stains and bacteria.
We looked in on what the cleaning industry has to offer us and the following are the brands which coin as the best. Hoover and Bissell both make good machines for reasonable prices. One can find basic models under $100, but the best ones are usually between $100-200. They have a fair balance among quality, durability and price.
Bissell Power Fresh Steam Mop
This vacuum cleaners review determines which is the best home floor mop. For overall cleaning power and price consideration, the Bissell 1940 Eraser is an excellent choice. It has the suction power of machines that are twice as expensive, yet it still costs less than 150. Like all good vacuums today, it comes standard with a HEPA filter to help trap the dust and allergy-causing molds it sucks up.
It is recommended for homes that have pets or a home where the owner just wants a super clean house and still have money in their pocket. The bristles on this upright can be turned off so hard wood floors can be cleaned without spitting the debris around. The exhaust is filtered with the true filter that removes 99.97% of all dust and allergy-containing molds down to a 0.03 micrometer size. This lightweight yet powerful tool makes cleaning easier than the other models because it is more maneuverable.
How to Clean a Steam Aided Mop
Before we start to clean this hard working tool there, it is necessary to cool it off at least for an hour or two. One should never forget to remove its safety cap before removing the steam tank. Don't be vague to open the lid. This is the most important point to remember, as a precautionary measure.
Press down and unscrew the safety cap before detaching the tank. I am again repeating with the safety cap removed one can clean away the reservoir with a 5:1 ratio water and synthetic vinegar solution. Let the solution rinse for 2-3 hours before dumping it out. Again rinse with hot water to remove any traces of sticking vinegar. These are a few steps which could be necessary with a view to the storage of the tool, even.

Hoover Steam Mop
The next to hold high in my reviews is the Hoover twin tank disinfectant thin and slim mop from Hoover, the lightest in its category and so simple to move around even for ladies. Its washable microfiber pads allow them reuse many a time as compared to others, giving it a priority over conventional ones. The knuckle provided at the end of mop allows it to swivel through 360 degree. Thus it can reach every nook and corner of your house for easier cleaning under the beds, tables and even the cupboards.
Though it takes a bit of chore to clean them up after use, but that is true about any of the carpet steam cleaners if one wants to keep them in good condition. The brushes can pick up a lot of hair and carpet fibers, which can clog things up a bit. It is not too hard to pull off the worst of these impurities from the brushes. This is a part of the routine work. Running the Hoover with a tank of clean water as one rinses his carpets to finish the job will help to get all the excess carpet shampoo out of the system, as well as, remove any excess shampoo from his/her carpeting.
It releases the steam while pulling back the mop, having your finger on the button. I was little amazed to use it for the first time, even, accept a wet floor. Soon I learned the trick to get the floors dry, after mopping. What I have to do is, just release the steam trigger for 2 minutes before the final sweep. The device still remains hot for quite a few minutes, until I hover it for the final touch.
It takes me 10-12 minutes to steam mop whole of my house. I'm so satisfied to recommend it to any of my mates. The mop stands at number one referring to 2013 sales results.
Best Dry Mop for Dog Hair
Dry Hair Mop: For years, the technical team at Bissell having been making high quality machines which help homeowners to clean hair from carpets and floors. Therefore, it is no surprise that they have invented the new and innovative dry hair mop. The idea behind this steam mop is quite simple. The sweeper that is located to the front of the machine will clean the floor first, and it will gather the hair and dirt deposits into a tray. The mopping section will then mop the floor.
Originally this mop cleaner costs $189.00; however, one can purchase it on Amazon.com for the price of $118.99. One can also read a ton of more actual user reviews when he visits the above link, some of them happy, some of them not. But the Bissell Steam n Sweep has been a total life saver for me.
One of the great benefits of Bissell Lift Off Steam Mop is the great design that it boasts. Features of this steam mop include a thirty feet cord, which is quite long for a machine of this kind; in addition to a removable tank which can hold approximately 17.5 ounces of water. The tank is filled with Eco friendly liquids and chemicals. These are provided with the supplied kit included with fiber pads. The home ladies can take it any where due to the ease of lifting.
Majority of the times, steam cleaners like the Bissell's Steam n Sweep are thought to be vacuum cleaners. Although both machines are used to clean floors, there are quite a number of differences between the two. One of the primary features of vacuum cleaners is the dirt bags where the dirt is gathered.
Cordless Steam Mop
The main thing I like about this battery operated steam-mop is its quick charger that turns the indicator to green within half an hour, and stops the charging process automatically. I usually add two cups of water before starting the job. This hassle free portable cleaning device swiftly mops two of my bedrooms and a kitchen within a few minutes. It is capable of cleaning all the types of floors, either it is hardwood or marble, vinyl or any other types of laminates.
This hand held cordless steam cleaning mop is another privilege for the fans of home cleaning products as the safest method of cleaning for the people who avoid online handling of electrical appliances and power codes, as well. This is one of the advance accessories which cover all around the shelves and even beneath the low height kitchen cabinets. I do enjoy every time I use it and feel proud of owning this model.
Dry Mop for Hard Floor Cleaning
The Bissell Dry Mop Hard Floor Cleaner is too convenient for moving around as it comes complete with a swivel mop head, worth $64. This mopping device also features a cleaning path that measures 12 inches. Additionally, the machine includes two microfiber mop pads.
However, the Bissell Mop does not have that feature. Instead, this steam mop fumigates dirt and dust using water. The water is heated so that it will be able to generate a hot steam that is more than 200°F. The steam aids in effectively cleaning the floors and the wooden hardwood floors.
The Flaws in Bissel Steaming Mop
Just like any other product, the Steam and Sweep do have its flaws. One of the biggest disadvantages of this steam mop that customers constantly talk about is the fact, it is incapable of sucking up dirt in the same way that a vacuum does. These are just a few of the cons that customers complain about. As we know, these are actually not the faults but the prime features of any vacuum cleaner or steam vac. If these are not present, we can actually not avail any of the features mentioned above.
Bissel's Calcium Water Filter
Sienna Aqua Pro V Steam Mop
This is the most fabulous mop I ever experienced while cleaning of low height stuff. The mop having fine swivel head can easily clean my coffee table and book case including the home furniture. The specialty of this floor mop is its adjustable steam nozzle and vibration free movement. It helps to avoid the harmful chemicals used in keeping the home free of bacteria. That is why after purchasing it I disposed my old mop that could swivel up to 30 degree at the same time needed some repair, too.
Reasons for Using Steam-Aided Mops
The color of grouting tends to turn brown from while within a period 6 month, or it starts to resemble with that of the floor itself. The lower 2 lines of bathroom tiles turn grey by the end of first year. However, this is not the case my friends. The vitrified tiles can withstand any circumstances except the damage, being too fragile.
In fact, a micro layer of calcium carbonate starts to deposit over the glazed surface with the influence of soaps and shampoos, in the due course. A layer with ten microns of residue deposits over low walls of the high traffic areas of the house every month, if not taken any care. This can be wiped off easily by rinsing with dilute hydraulic or sulfuric acid but dangerous because of producing hazardous fumes.
To clean such areas with a steaming mop is the safest way. Another important point I forgot to add above is that, even a 20 micron layer is porous enough for the pro breeding bacterias. I need not explain about their cons and pros for the humans.
Conclusion to Review
Bissell steam & sweep far exceed its minor weakness as clear from the article above. I have been lucky enough to see it in operation at my sister's place and I am going to buy one for myself soon enough as the prices are cheap now. The prices are expected to go up by as much as 30% in coming few months due to the increase in price of high quality materials used in its construction.
Visit the above links to know more about this floor cleaner and the 23% discount, now. Ensure, not to be caught by the cost of a cheaper mop whether it projects like the best. howzthat.org helps one achieve the best and safest mops. I think the steam & sweep is a good product for the price, and this concludes my review.

Publisher's Description
"Unfinished might just challenge everything you thought you understood about your Christian faith...If every Christian read this book and took it seriously, the world would never be the same again."
Bill Hybels, senior pastor Willow Creek Community Church
"Just when I've gotten comfortable with my faith, here comes Rich Stearns, reminding me what matters and who God loves and why...Just when I dare think my work is done, Rich reminds me that we are just getting started."
Max Lucado, pastor and best-selling author
"More purpose. More meaning. More life. In Unfinished you discover how your life can be about more."
Elisa Morgan, author; speaker; publisher, www.fulfill.org
"Every generation of Christians needs a wake-up call to remind us of how serious and strenuous are the demands of discipleship. May Rich Stearns's Unfinished be that alarm for our time."
David Neff, editorial vice president, Christianity Today
So you believe in God. Now what?
Just before he left, Jesus sent his follower into the world with a revolutionary mission: to change the world by proclaiming God's truth and demonstrating his incredible love. But the single task he gave us to accomplish remains unfinished.
Rich Stearns takes us on a breathtaking journey to rediscover the critical mission of Christ in our world today and the richness of God's calling on our lives.
Why are we here, what is our purpose, and where do we fit in the bigger story that God is writing? How should our faith affect our careers, our money, our families, and our lives? And why does it matter? We will find our deepest purpose only when we discover the unique role God created for us to play in his unfolding story.
Author Bio
Richard Stearns has served as president of World Vision U.S. since 1998, having formerly been the CEO of Parker Bros. Games and Lenox, Inc. He and his wife, Reneé, have five children of their own and millions more around the world.
