500 Free kick w/fins moderate every 3rd 25 fast
5x100@:05R choice of drill w/fins mixed it up
5x200@3:15 Free w/paddles & bouy make the interval
6x50 from dive sprint 25's rest easy
Total 3300 meters
Took an easy 3 mile run about 7 this evening. This seems to be the best time to run these days with the heat. I think all of my outdoor runs with perhaps the exception of some intervals at the track are going to have to be easy. The heat and humidity are too much to do otherwise. If I do a tempo run, I think I'll do it on the treadmill.
Warm up:
600 various
8 x 50 @ 1:00
odds = fly drill
evens = breast drill
100 scull
Main set:
3 x 100 dolphin kick on back w/MF @ 2:00

4 x 50 russian breast drill
Pull set:
5 x 150 free w/paddles @ 2:30
I just cruised, trying to focus on head position and kicking through my breath. I also, maybe for one of the first times ever, focused on body roll in freestyle. OMG, I had much better DPS and the tiniest ephemeral glimpse into the mindset of a 200 freestyler. I'm so used to only sprinting free, that I've completely forgotten this "gait" as Swimsuit Addict would call it. I find it rather hard to "lope" in paddles though; I swim more symmetrically with them on.
Total: 3150
Detox sucks! I am just dead, and dead in the water. Very enervated. I had planned on doing more kicking today, but my legs were sore from Kenpo and my left hamstring was, to use Stud's terms, ever so slightly dodgy. I only went about :56 on my quasi fast dolphin kicks, which is fairly slow for me. I just had no fast gear or any energy. So broccoli stalks and pears are not a good training diet. Tomorrow, I get to add back more fruits and veggies and white rice. Woohoo! (sarcasm)
On the upside, my GI symptoms have resolved, and I feel like I've lost weight. Probably haven't; I'm likely just not bloated from whatever food I'm intolerant of. Since I've eliminated gluten largely, I think it's milk products such as whey and casein that are the culprit. I'm inclined to get tested for food allergies when I return from vacation. I just fear that that could produce some false positives, and there's enough food I already have to avoid.
So, I'm re-ditching anything with whey protein in it, and sticking with hemp protein:
"Manitoba Harvest Hemp PRO 70is easy for the body to digest and assimilate because it doesnt contain gluten or added sugars, and its free of the enzyme inhibitor found in soy and other legumes and grains that can prevent protein absorption and cause bloating and digestive challenges. Unlike many other protein powders on the market today, hemp is not known to be an allergen for people with food sensitivities. Hemp PRO 70 has been made without the use of Hexane, a petrochemical commonly used to make soy and other protein isolates."
I think my Proasis shots look safe as well: https://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/s...ategoryDisplay. Most other protein shots contain whey.
On a related note, I chatted with a mom with a gluten intolerance while supervising the "Roman Shot Put" at my third grader's end of the school year Olympic party. She said that Whole Foods was now stocking a gluten free bread that is actually edible, called Udi's. I bought some today to try. In fact, it may be the first thing I have on Day 9 of the detox when I can add back grains. I'm dying for some carbs!
I may just take tomorrow off if I'm feeling this way again and do some last minute shopping/errands for vacation. But Saturday looks bleak for exercise too with a soccer tournament and a dance recital. I may compromise and do P90X Stretch or P90X Yoga or another of my yoga DVDs. I think hot yoga would not be the best option, as it's so taxing.
My shoulders/back can feel the paddle work. Not in a scary, my RCs are hurt way; just in a fatigued sort of way.
Exercise Not Enough To Lose Weight:
Sugar Free Foods Suck:
Updated June 17th, 2010 at 09:30 PM by The Fortress
Today I swam the noontime workout at Asphalt Green. Heres what we did:
600 warmup
8 x 75 K/D/S @ :10 rest, odds FR, evens ST
8 x 50 FR w/ 6 breaths per 50 @ 4 breaths rest [This is the first hypoxic set that Ive actually been able to do in I dont know how long. I kept things very long and smooth (6 breaths per 50 turns out to be 4-stroke breathing for me). It was very calming, and nice for the rest interval to be tied to breathing.]
10 x 100 @ 1:35, maintaining best avg pace [I alternated 100 FR and 50 FR / 50 BK, and kept them all 1:18-1:20.]
1 x 75 FR from the blocks for time [:48]
225 warmdown
This was a nice workout, with a good mixture of technique work and faster swimming (yet at intervals that allowed me to still focus on technique stuff). It was also nice to actually get to the pool on time today and get in a decent warmup.
Fun factoid of the day: Snakes have different gaits, just like horses (and humans). Besides slithering, snakes can side-wind (lateral movement that requires lifting part of its body: [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rcbXiHHeAc&feature=related"]YouTube- snake in the desert[/nomedia] ) and move in concertina mode (folding and straightening itself like an accordion).
The article I garnered this little nugget from didnt mention whether snakes gaits are simply dependent on the speed they want to go, or whether factors like the surface they are on or particular behaviors (stalking, for example), influence their gait. Im also not sure whether all species of snakes can do all of these gaits. The article was most concerned with analyzing the physics of slithering.
(I believe that hoop snakes employ a unique gait among reptiles.)
Ive been thinking about gaits in swimming ever since I read in Fortresss blog that she used a different technique for her LC free than for her SC free (lopey vs straight-armed, I think.). I definitely have different gaits for different freestyle speedswhile I can slow down my sprinterly FR, at least to a point, by simply moving slower and with less power while keeping my rhythm and movements roughly the same, its actually more efficient to transition instead into a distance free mode (gait) by switching to a two-beat kick, rotating more, and narrowing my hand entry position. This is analogous to it being more efficient to walk at slower paces than to run slowly.
In fly I also have different gaits for different speedsI pause and glide at the catch in the front of my stroke when doing endurance fly, while my sprint fly involves more constant arm movement. For backstroke, though, I think I keep the same rhythm and movements when transitioning through different pacesmy 50 backstroke is just a faster and more powerful version of the movements that I would use to do a 1000 back. I do a six-beat kick when sprinting BK, and while it often looks as though Im not kicking at all when backstroking slowly, Im actually doing a 6-beat foot twitch, which keeps my rhythm intact even if it doesnt generate much power.
So as I was swimming today and yesterday I paid particular attention to the changes I was making when slipping from one gait to another, with the idea that comparing what I was doing at different speeds could lead to ways to improve my technique. In fly for example, my glidey long-distance fly works for me because the pause at the beginning of each stroke allows me to get a really good catch at the beginning of my stroke, which allows me to pull mostly straight back with power. This stroke is sustainable because I allow my core and legs to simply follow, rather than using those big muscles to generate much power.
When I go faster, though, the catch-pause gets eliminated, and my hands flounder around before finding a good position to pull back from. My pull actually becomes less efficient, but the increased propulsion from more powerful and faster kicking more than compensates for that. So on my faster fly I need to focus on entering in front of my shoulders and establishing a firm anchor point at the front of my stroke sooner, instead of letting my hands wander around before pulling them through the water. (More strength and better flexibility would probably help herethe former I can definitely improve upon, the latter Im wary of trying to increase).
On breaststroke I think I pretty much keep the same gait at different distances, just speed up my tempo to go faster. Ive seen good breaststrokers that seem to have a completely different stroke for their 200 than for their 50, though.

I am not exactly sure of all the intervals as there were two groups and I was with the slower ones. That said I only ditched out on 200 of it where I needed to rest. Some of the fly had to be half a length and then free...crumbling down to a 5 stroke fly/free combo to make it through. I got out to coach but the kids carried on to do another 40 minutes. This took me about 70-80 minutes.
It was tough but fun. I like that I get forced to do different sets and it gives me confidence to try trickier sets on my own.
I'm exhausted though.

I swam back on the fly round.
I could have swam round #2 harder but I was going 2nd, I was catching greg off the 1st wall when I dolphin kicked.
Oh well next time I go 1st. Then I had to go 1st on breast, my worst stroke. But I gave it a
solid effort and I actually gained more than 5 secs on the 100. Crazy!! I guess I'll just have to try harder more often.
Swimming is such a MENTAL sport.
Going 1st just makes you try harder.
I think it's good to switch who goes 1st sometimes.
Some days feel great.
Some days I feel my age :-)
P90X, Kenpo:
Decided I needed something different today, so I popped in the P90X Kenpo DVD, which I've never done before. It's definitely one of the easier P90X routines. Mostly a lot of punching, kicking and jumping. The X jumping jack plyo is a great exercise. It did seem like a good overall body workout, with good focus on balance and speed.
Here's a description and the list of exercises:
I was not inspired to try this martial arts type workout by Karate Kid. I almost fell asleep during that slow snoozer of a movie.
I wanted to do some P90X yoga, but got too busy doing kid things. In any event, my body appears intolerant of a training load increase right now. I've decided the legs are the most difficult to get back in shape. They seem to require the most conditioning and then, conversely, the most rest before meets. The upper body seems to snap back faster. (This is, of course, purely anecdotal and not supported by well controlled scientific data. Or, if the data does exists, which I'm sure it doesn't wrt swimming, I haven't bothered to look for it. )
Does anyone have any good tips for a father's day gift for a runner/cyclist?
I may do one of Patrick's workouts tomorrow (not the 400 free one!) and then swim with Speedo on Friday before subjecting myself to a crushingly busy weekend.
Day 6 of detox ...
I've attached a pic of a cute Maine Coone kitten we'll be getting soon (we're getting one of the white chested females pictured). I'm only mildly allergic to cats, and tolerate our Siamese well. I can't do dogs at all. My youngest has really been jonesing for a new kitty, so I caved. Hope I can still breath with it in the house.

Got up at the crack of dawn to grab a swim workout at the Y while the pool was available for lap swim. Kind of wild that there is the tiniest bit of light at 5 a.m. Grabbed a cup of coffee in the lobby at the Y before hitting the swim. I definitely needed it as I felt like I was walking in my sleep.
Warm-up: 100 easy
10 x 250 with 45 seconds rest
Odds: Dolphin kick on back with fins
Evens: Pull - 2, 4, 6 were free with paddles and buoy; 8, 10 were back with just paddles
Got this workout about 14 years ago from a college swimmer home on break. Her coach told her it was a good maintenance workout. I agree - it hits the shoulders, legs, and core pretty darn well.
This was my first time working out at the Y since Nationals. I've lost my tolerance to the chlorine and its products, so and have been battling my allergies this afternoon. I guess a couple of times back and I'll be desensitized to it. Thank goodness for Zyrtec!

Question about "garbage yards:" My technique still has a long way to go. My developing lung capacity makes alternate-side breathing difficult when I get going, and I'm rarely hitting a nice, solid streamline after a turn. Elbows are dropping, hips are not rotating, head is not down, especially when I get tired.
I often lead our lane, and I go fast so I don't hold up anyone behind me. But then I can't work on any of those issues, because I am full of go. Today we did 6x125 on 2:00, which is just at the edge of my ability. I know I got a workout because I saw stars and was heaving for air when it was over. But did I do myself more harm than good by letting my technique get sloppy? Or is it OK just to get some cardio in there and improve my overall fitness? Is this an eternal question? This was the 3000 yards I finished today:

The Northwest Passage and the Inside Passage have both been done to death.
These days, the navigation of only one Passage strikes fear in the hearts of able seamen the world over. The Back Passage.
The Back Passage of Manhattan.
Many have tried to swim up the nut-brown waters of the East and Harlem Rivers and return to their place of origin via the dysenteric Hudson, and many have succeeded. In fact, most have succeeded. I actually succeeded once myself, last year in July. But that was merely a dress rehearsal for this year's odyssey.
MIMS 2010 was tough! I was 25 minutes slower than last year's "quiet swim", but it's impossible to compare one year to another. This year the Hudson was quite rough for a long time, not fun as my lower back decided to hurt terribly for the whole swim. I was never really able to climb out of the funk from the back pain, so just tried to keep my head down and plod along. After a few rough hours in the Hudson I didn't think I would make it and had to ask my paddler if I was going to get there or if I was just kidding myself. "Only 2 more miles" he said!! It was only then that I really cheered up!!!!
Climbing that aluminium ladder at the finish is something I'll never forget. I confess I had a moist eye from the relief and joy.
The following is just a snippet of my adventure, including training and finishing. Many friends helped out in so many ways! Thankyou all. Thanks to Bill White for the emailed workouts!! I'm going to actually start doing the sprint and IM ones now . Thanks to Vivebene for many hours of company in the cold (and not so cold) lake at Promontory Point. Thankyou Chaos for all the help and the ride from the airport! Thanks to the Wolfpack for so much moral support
I also raised about $750 for the American Macular Degeneration Foundation

Fans of the Texans, Packers, Ravens and Seahawks came away satisfied after an action-packed opening weekend of the NFL Playoffs.
Supporters of the Bengals, Vikings, Colts and Redskins? Better luck next year.
Moving on quickly from wildcard weekend, we've got a plate full of NFL heavyweights set to square off in the upcoming divisional round.

The Practice of Everyday Life (Paperback)Michel de Certeau, Steven F. Rendall
Paperback Published: 11/11/2011

Click & Collect From your local shop
In this incisive book, Michel de Certeau considers the uses to which social representation and modes of social behavior are put by individuals and groups, describing the tactics available to the common man for reclaiming his own autonomy from the all-pervasive forces of commerce, politics, and culture. In exploring the public meaning of ingeniously defended private meanings, de Certeau draws brilliantly on an immense theoretical literature to speak of an apposite use of imaginative literature.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
Hi Guys,
I'm having an issue with one of the BBs that we manage. It's a Bold 9900 that's connected to BES. Recently the BB stopped syncing read emails on it where the user reads the emails in Outlook but emails are still marked as Unread on the BB.
I have done the following tasks in efforts to resolve the issue:
1. Configured Email Reconciliation option.
2. Reactivated the BB on BES.
3. Resent the Service Books.
4. Reset user on BES.
All the above tasks made no difference in this issue...
Please note that another user has the exact BB but doesn't have any issues and no major network changes have been done that may have interuppted the connection.
Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Energy stocks bubbled up as top ideas several times at the 18th annual Sohn Investment Conference, held Wednesday in Manhattan, where hedge-fund managers offered picks and pans to raise funds for charity.
No overriding theme connected the energy stocks highlighted. Nor were energy prices a key element. And there was little discussion of the boom in shale drilling. However, these names were clearly a popular topic.

Tor Olav Troim, of Norwegian investing firm Fredriksen Group, talked up the growth in deep-water drilling in the search for more oil and gas. These projects require floating rigs and transportation infrastructure, but Troim argues that orders don't match anticipated future demand for rigs.

Troim also made the case that natural-gas supplies will eventually be shipped to where they are needed most. Global gas prices vary widely, however, and that story will surely take time to play out.
Jonathon Jacobson, founder of Highfields Capital Management, said investors should favor payouts backed by strong cash flow, rather than capital markets financing. That would call into question plenty of Master Limited Partnerships—those yield-rich energy companies with tax-friendly structures.
Jacobson reiterated questions circulating about how Linn Energy (LINE), an MLP, accounts for hedging gains, and tipped his hat to Barron's, which recently published a skeptical article on the company. (See "Twilight of a Stock Market Darling," May 4.)
Energy has been making headlines for other reasons too. Goldman Sachs just announced its list of the 40 stocks with the most upside and nearly half are energy names.

- This is an absolutely great bit of kit for wilderness camping. I bought it as a replacement after giving my original to my son. Basically it enables you to safely take and drink fresh water from mountain streams without having to use nasty tasting sterilising tablets. Instead you simply insert the steripen into a litre of water where it emits an ultra violet light which kills any nasty organisms that might be there, leaving the water tasting clean and pure. I've used it in the Welsh mountains, Dartmoor, the Scottish Highlands, the Pyrenees and the Turkish Kackars. It means you can trek in the wild for days without having to carry a load of heavy water. Brilliant!
- −
- I suppose it's quite expensive initially but, if you're into wilderness treks, well worth it in the long run. (Once bought, the running costs are minimal. It's obviously a good idea to carry a spare set of AA batteries but they don't actually need replacing very often.)

I usually make homemade tart cherry pies, but every so often laziness takes over. My husband just hates those pre-made frozen cherry pies, and to be honest, this recipe sounded similar to those. I still made it, and to my amazement, husband commented how good it tasted. That says a lot--this recipe stays in the keeper file under "recipes that fool Jerry." He thinks everything I make is from scratch, so I appreciate good tasting but very easy recipes. Made as is, but next time I may add just a smidge of almond extract, as that is what is called for in most cherry pie recipes. Thanks for making my life easier, marisk!
This was my very first cherry pie, ever. It was very easy! I followed the recipe exactly except that I used 1 1/2 times more crunch topping and used a Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust for the bottom crust because that's all I had. Bf really wanted a cherry pie, and saw something called 'cherry crunch' pie in the freezer section of the grocery store and asked me to make him something like that. I searched 'Zaar and found this. He was very happy. Thank you for a nice recipe! :)

OSKALOOSA, Kan. (WIBW)_ Law enforcement officers took to the stand Wednesday in the second day of trial for the man accused of killing a Jefferson County farmer.
Adam Hooper is charged with killing 50-year-old Dale Kingsbury.
Jury selection took place Tuesday morning and testimony began that afternoon. Kingsbury's widow, Jeannie Kingsbury, was the first to testify, followed by two law enforcement officers.
Dale Kingsbury's body was found in a cistern at his own farm last summer, where Hooper was staying in exchange for work.
Hooper underwent a mental evaluation and was found competent to stand trial.

At Linux WorldExpo in August 1999, I met with some IBM folks who conveyed the company's cautious interest in the operating system. Linux had been arriving "over the transom", they said, showing up significantly (though nonstrategically) in servers all over the company. So IBM did a survey of one division, testing Linux "awareness" on a scale that ran from "can spell Linux" at one end and "hacks kernel code" at the other. All 600 surveyed could spell Linux, and 120 were hacking kernel code. It was a revelation that no doubt informed the company's strategic commitment to the OS.
Now it's 2.5 years later, and Linux is a mainstream operating system. That was the summary news story from the latest LinuxWorld Expo (just completed as I write this).
IBM showed off marquee customers L.L. Bean, Boscov, Pixar and Solomon Smith Barney. Hewlett-Packard showcased DreamWorks SKG. Egenera reported a deal with Credit Suisse First Boston.
In her keynote at LWE, Carly Fiorina of HP said 2002 would be a "breakout" year for Linux, pointing to a Gartner projection of 15% growth, despite the economic downturn. HP also announced Linux products for enterprise and telecommunications customers, showcasing Amazon, BMW, Boeing, Speedera, ViaWest and Verizon.
Also at LWE, Holger Dyroff of SuSE said, "Up to now Linux was adopted by technicians. Now it's exactly the opposite." CIOs are placing orders for SuSE support contracts on IBM mainframes at a rate of 2-3 purchase orders per week and $4,500-$11,500 per contract. About one-third of the customers for the mainframe distribution, which has been out for about a year and a half, are banks, Dyroff said.
IBM also introduced a special bargain price on a "Linux-only" version of its flagship zSeries (better known as S/390) mainframe.
In fact, IBM, which famously bragged about spending one billion dollars on Linux over the last year, now says it has recouped most of the investment. And it's hardly alone in its bottom-line enthusiansms for the operating system.
And the story goes way beyond what we saw at LWE.
Egenera is selling Linux-based servers ranging in price from $200,000 to more than one million dollars.
Amazon.com recently moved its services to Linux and credits the OS with enormous savings, no doubt contributing to that company's first profitable quarter.
Mary Anne De Young of 1mage ("One Image") attributes the company's recent successes to a tremendous growth in demand for Linux as a UNIX product platform. One of 1mage's largest customers, Reynolds & Reynolds, is both making and saving money by shipping its (and 1mage's) products out to thousands of car dealers on Linux boxes.
John Gantz of International Data Corp. had enthusiastic words about Linux in his Top Ten Predictions for the New Year.
And if none of that makes a convincing case for the long-term commercial success of Linux, there's this from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer:
I think you have to rate competitors that threaten your core higher than you rate competitors where you're trying to take from them....It puts the Linux phenomenon and the UNIX phenomenon at the top of the list. I'd put the Linux phenomenon really as threat No. 1.

Listen attentively, and above all, remember that true tales are meant to be transmitted. To keep them to oneself is to betray them.

The motivation for this counterrevolution is as old as revolutions themselves. As Niccolò Machiavelli described long before the Internet, "Innovation makes enemies of all those who prospered under the old regime, and only lukewarm support is forthcoming from those who would prosper under the new." And so it is today with us. Those who prospered under the old regime are threatened by the Internet. Those who would prosper under the new regime have not risen to defend it against the old; whether they will is still a question. So far, it appears they will not.

Our terrorists wear suits and have law degrees. Their involvement in software design, at a very intimate level, will result in orphaned software, bankruptcies and users without tools to use.

The reason that we have not seen a real Linux virus epidemic in the wild is simply that none of the existing Linux viruses can thrive in the hostile environment that Linux provides. The Linux viruses that exist today are nothing more than technical curiosities; the reality is that there is no viable Linux virus.

A time is marked not so much by ideas that are argued about as by ideas that are taken for granted. The character of an era hangs upon what needs no defense. Power runs with ideas that only the crazy would draw into doubt. The "taken for granted" is the test of sanity; "what everyone knows" is the line between us and them.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Triabetes aims to revolutionize the way people approach diabetes through inspiration to achieve their goals, education of the patient and medical communities about diabetes and exercise, and exploration of the physiological and social foundations of successful diabetes management.
In 2008, twelve people with type 1 diabetes gathered from across the country to pioneer new standards in diabetes management. As a 13-time Emmy Award-winning documentary company filmed their path to the Ironman triathlon finish line, scholars and clinicians employed cutting-edge scientific technology to track and analyze athlete bio-data with hopes of unlocking the secrets of the diabetic equation.
In 2009, returning Triabetes athletes are inviting anyone with diabetes to give it a shot and join the team. All types of diabetes. All triathlon distances. All throughout North America.

Many people say that depression is a side effect or complication of diabetes. Without discounting the association of the psychological condition with the physical one, I'm not convinced that our high and/or unstable glucose levels are directly responsible for that change in our mental state. My belief is that the unrelenting need for self-care, for following the sort of care schedules that can drive licensed, professional caregivers crazy, is what overwhelms us...

First it's an iron and well ironing isn't really that much fun but we all gotta do it right? Having said that I never want to touch another iron again. I can tell this is a product I am going to use for years. Build Quality - Top notch. A bit on the heavy side but I find that helpful in that I iron a bit slower and don't skip over spots. The anti-dripping is a nice feature as well, I don't miss those days from my previous irons. The soleplate shape on this iron is very helpful as well with the length and shape. Removing wrinkles - Magic. I don't have to go over any area more than once really and my shirts have came out great in much faster time. Steaming - I'm not sure I would put this on the level of a professional steamer but I was impressed with the amount of steam that came out from this iron. This feature took me a little bit to get the hang out but when I did it ended up working out very well. Reach - The cord is long enough to make it very easy to move the iron where you want. As I said before the gliding on this iron is nice, so no issues here. Last Thoughts - It's not a cheap iron but I strongly believe you won't ever need another one. Adding to that your clothes come out top notch every time... sometimes it's worth the investment and this is one of those times.

Love the 360 Multi Direction
By Sinc
from Jersey City, NJ, USA
Love the new Iron. The 360 multi direction takes a few times to used to but once you do its amazing. Heats up super quick and ample amounts of steam
great iron
By W
from Texas, USA
Extremely nice iron with great features, it does a great job with less effort.
Happy with purchase.
By anmpr1
from Florida
The sole plate is a little weird, but once you get use to the football-like design, it makes sense. Plenty of controlled steam. Long cord. Heats up fast. Con is the dark purple--not easy to see water level without picking the iron up. Build quality seems first rate. Very futuristic design.

Huge Iron
By K-Grizzle
from Eunice, LA
We bought this to replace a Panasonic iron that we broke (dropped on the floor, the ceramic tip broke off). This one is even better! We love the multidirectional usage- both ends are tapered to allow for either end to fit into smaller areas of ironing, like collars. This iron dwarfs our other iron. We've found that ironing takes less time because of the sheer surface area of this iron. A little more costly than your run-of-the-mill irons, but with that price increase you get a quality increase, as well.
A big iron to quickly press a large area.
By Carlos
from SOUTHERN CA
Nice iron with every option you can possibly add to an iron plus plenty of steam....only down side is the added weight due to the larger surface area it covers.
360degrees Quickâ"¢ Multi-Directional Steam/Dry Iron with
By Hootie
from Edmond OK
I love this iron and wish I would have purchased it a long time ago. I use a lot of steam and not much starch. This iron has all the steam you need. I seem to iron a lot faster with it. Saves me time while doing a fantastic job. The only draw back for me was I have a built in ironing board in my wall. It is taller than the space allows for an iron to be stored inside the ironing board unit. I just have to store it in a cabinet.
By UB
from Orland Park, IL
Previous model was NI-W810CS which was smaller but has better operating features than the W950A. Steaming works much better on the W810CS by operating more consistent while ironing.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The effect of noise on the number of effective channels (color filters) used to record a color image is investigated. Transmittances of color filters are calculated that minimize the mean square error that occurs when estimating, from the recorded data, the colors in the image under a collection of viewing illuminants. Since the results indicate that a significant improvement in color correction accuracy is achieved by using four channels, there is good reason to consider using four-tuples for representation of colorimetric information

Hi Diane, Your photo of Immaculate Conception Church id beautiful. I am a parishioner at Immaculate Conception Church in O;d Town San Diego and I used your photo last year when I did a video for the ordination of one of the priests there. Your name was mentioned in the credits. Thank you for such beautiful photo. I wonder if you would allow me to down load it again as I lost my file when my computer crashed.
