What? Yes, that's what I said. Did you know there were other options than the usual department store slips of plastic for your menstrual cycle? Here's an environmentally and biologically safe alternative to tampons and commercially manufactured napkins.
Feminine napkins made from cotton. They are breathable and come in many designs depending on the retailer and required protection. Who knew you could dress up the inside of your underwear. As for comfort, well, they are bulkier and do take some getting use to. You probably didn't like a tampon the first time you used it either.
Lunapads is a Canadian owned company which has quadrupled in size since I first heard of them. They first started producing Lunapads in 1993 and now carry a line of menstrual products for those environmentally inclined individuals or for those who hate to have that plastic layer against their va-jay-jay. Like any pad they have a selection for light to very heavy flow. There's also a "lunapanties" which comes in sizes up to 4x. Check out their intro starter kit. Lunapad ships internationally.
Visit Lunapads.
Urban Armor is a funkier designer who works from a different pattern and on a much smaller scale. There's a lot more attitude behind this company. Also from Canada, but the other side of the country, they will ship to the US. Orders are taken via email or their 1-800 number.
Visit Urban Armor.
Pandora's Pads carries cotton pads, tampons and nursing pads. They are located in Louisiana and are low on stock but are working on replenishing. Again, a slightly different pattern than the above two. They will ship to Canada.
Visit Pandora's Pads.
We live in a disposable world. The biggest hindrance for some will be the fact that these are not disposable napkins. These napkins are meant to be worn, rinsed, washed and worn again. Like I said it takes some getting use to. I myself am not a complete convert. If I'm home they are a sure thing. The other, is they are a bit bulkier than some store brands. It takes some getting use to. I recommend trying a couple of different designs to see which fits you and your body type.
Check them out even if it's just to settle a slight curiosity. If after checking them out you're still grossed by the idea, wait a month and visit the sites again. Be open to the idea of reducing waste, becoming attuned to your cycle and saving a few bucks.

Innovation In Genetics Using Big Data and Opensouce
I read an interesting interview lately on O'reilly about the power of Big Data Science and traditional molecular biology. Molecular biology is becoming more and more digital. The very vocabulary of molecular biology are DNA base pairs which are expressed as A's,T's, C's, and G's parallel information technology which uses 0s and 1s. Scanned sequences in molecular biology are now rating on the terabyte scale. In genomics, the term big data is far from a buzzword.

Been going to the pool about twice a week and that has pretty much been it in terms of cardio. Still tryin to gain some weight before triathlon season starts up again. I've gained about 7 lbs of it back since Dec. Ended up doing a duathlon last season because my swim just wasn't strong enough but this time around it'll be different. Im sure of it. My goal is still to gain 10 more lbs by hitting the weights and eating like a goldfish, before I start cutting again.... Read The Rest →

Economy Size Geek - Remix the Internet and Your Television with the Roku DVP
This month, the challenge is to write about Linux and entertainment. MythTV is cool, but it's been covered. Boxee looks great, but someone beat me to that punch. I was getting worried I wouldn't find something appropriate to cover until my wife reminded me that the device on which we were watching Farscape runs Linux, and she suggested I see if there was something worth discussing beyond the great selection of documentaries. As luck would have it, there is quite a bit worth writing about.
The device is the Roku Digital Video Player, which launched in 2008. This tiny box uses Linux to stream Netflix video to your television. Until recently, that was the only reason to get one, but now, Roku has started announcing other channels of content (Major League Baseball, Facebook, Pandora and more). It is interesting to see the tiny little box expand its capability. Even more interesting is that Roku has opened a developer program that allows anyone to create custom channels for it.
Before I dive in, here's a little background. My wife is from Seattle, Washington, and is a huge fan and supporter of the KEXP radio station. I have done several projects in the past to bring KEXP to our home in San Antonio, Texas, but looking at the Roku's capabilities, it seems like the perfect platform for bringing KEXP on-demand to our living room.
The first step in becoming a developer is to go to the Roku.com Web site and create an account in its portal. After that, click the link for Developer. There is a small sign-up form where you agree to abide by the rules of the developer program. Once completed, you can download the SDK and get started.
Roku tries to honor its obligation to the GPL code involved in allowing the Roku to work. If you visit www.roku.com/support/gpl_rdvp.aspx, you can download tarballs of software. One thing that struck me in reading the developer agreement is the section that says "Subject to the Grace Period, Your Channel Application must at all times....iii. not contain any open-source code or other restricted code that could require Roku to publicly post or display any third-party notices or any modifications to such code." I understand what the Roku folks are trying to protect themselves from. Apparently, parts of the Roku platform are licensed from third parties (like the support for WMA), and Roku wants to keep parts proprietary. I assume the MIT license is fine, but it sounds like this environment might not be very friendly to the GPL. I posted a question to the developer forum but did not get any response by the time I had submitted this article for publication.
Assuming you still are interested in the platform, you have three different options for deploying a channel: push it to a local Roku, create it as a private channel or get it approved as a public channel.
The public channel requires Roku's approval. Once it's approved, Roku offers it in the channel store on the Web site. This is the path to take if you are building a channel for public consumption. The private channel allows you to roll out your channel to people. The upside is you don't need Roku's approval to roll it out. The downside is that more steps are involved in getting the channel onto a Roku. The local push is designed for the development phase of your channel. Once you enable development on a Roku (use a remote to enter Home 3x, Up 2x, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right), you can just upload your channel. The SDK includes a handy Makefile to make this incredibly easy. This is how I have done all of my development, as I'm developing channels for myself (and other developers). The main limitation of this last form of development is that you can have only one "development" channel installed at a time. That did not pose much of a problem for me, but if you're sharing code, it could make things more complicated.
Roku development is all done in BrightScript, which appears to be a custom language that combines ideas from Visual Basic and JavaScript. The main goal is to allow you to write code in a dynamic language that can easily compile down to efficient code for the Roku's embedded environment. This is accomplished by adding in BrightScript Components, such as default screens and media tools. You use BrightScript to customize the screens and build up your channel. There is even a PowerPoint presentation template to allow you to mock up your application screens easily.
All the code for this article is being shared at github.com/economysizegeek/linux_journal_roku. This will make it a lot easier to see the different channels. Simply git clone that repository, and you will have the latest version of all the code. I assume you have turned on developer mode for your Roku. You also need to set an environment variable in your shell so that the Makefile will know where to push the code. In my case, I added export ROKU_DEV_TARGET=192.168.210.244 to my .bashrc. Make sure you put in the IP address of your Roku.
Let's start by doing a simple Hello World! example. This will get you familiar with the tools and also confirm that you have everything working. In the git repository is a directory called hello_world. Inside that directory, you should be able to type make install, and it will push a new channel onto your Roku automatically. If that doesn't work, confirm that you have make, curl and zip installed (the Makefile depends on them). Also make sure your Roku is in Dev Mode (enter the key combo from this article). Additionally, ensure that you didn't set the environment variable (echo $ROKU_DEV_TARGET should print an IP), and check that you didn't set it to the wrong IP (the Roku's IP can be confirmed in Settings→Player Info).
Once you have sorted that out, you should be able to go to the Roku and see a new channel called "Hello World". Clicking on it with your remote will start the channel. It doesn't actually do anything other than say "Hello World!" The point is to confirm your environment and give you a quick-and-dirty tour of what you need to start making your own channel.
In the hello_world directory, you will see two directories and a few files. The images directory has a variety of images needed for this small application. You will notice that some have HD and some have SD in their names. This represents High Definition and Standard Definition. Because the Roku is connected to a television, you have to make sure any art you display is sized correctly for the TV screen. The Makefile is there to make it easy to compile, install and remove the channel. The manifest file is required by the Roku to build the package on the other side. That just leaves the source directory and the HelloWorld.brs file (Listing 1). The brs file is the BrightScript that actually sets up the channel.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Rural Medical Scholars Program
Location: Weiskotten Hall, 766 Irving Ave., Syracuse, NY 13210
Phone: 315 464-4570
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Website: www.upstate.edu/prospective/
RMED student Kathryn Weibrecht scrubs for surgery with Dr. Elizabeth Tucker at Community Memorial Hospital in Hamilton, NY.
SUNY Upstate Medical University is committed to doing something about the shortage of doctors in small communities and rural areas in our region.
Through the Rural Medical Scholars Program, Upstate will provide additional support for students who want to practice medicine in the state's underserved areas.
Applicants to the College of Medicine with a demonstrated interest and background in rural life may apply to the RMSP program by selecting the Rural Medicine Supplemental option when completing SUNY Upstate's secondary application.
Students accepted into the Rural Medical Scholars Program will:
- Take a concurrent elective in their first two years, called "Introduction to Rural Health". It is designed to provide an overview of the benefits and challenges of rural practice.
- Be eligible for special summer electives or work opportunities in our affiliated rural communities.
- Receive early acceptance into the Rural Medical Education Program (RMED), which pairs third-year students with board-certified family physicians in small communities throughout the region.
- Start RMED in January or February of their Junior Year. Most communities provide housing and a scholarship to students who complete the traditional, nine month RMED program. RMED Prime a shorter, 19-week version, of the program is available.
A shorter, 3-month version of RMED is available for students who wish to complete additional electives at our academic medical centers.
The RMED program is sponsored by the Department of Family Medicine.
To be considered for this program, select the Rural Medicine Supplemental option when completing SUNY Upstate's secondary application.
Testimonials from two former RMED Students
"In RMED I had the opportunity to be the ONLY medical student in a sea of attendings.
This means that I was learning directly from practicing physicians in a community medical setting, both in the hospital and in the doctor's office. While my colleagues were observing surgeries from the other end of a retractor, with the residents only getting the hands-on training, I was first assistant to the surgeon on every case we performed."
—Casey Patunoff, MD, and RMED graduate
Cool Cases Await!
"You go into a small community that's not used to having med students, and you work with doctors who are eager to talk to you about cool cases in surgery and in the emergency room. Pretty soon every doctor is calling you in with their cool cases. You have to learn to say no sometimes. Otherwise you'll never leave the hospital."
—Joshua Steinberg MD, former RMED student and instructor

He tried it with Kelis (never aired though), time to step out on his own.
The only two I agree with is wacka and gucci or maybe mase ; I feel bad for him and that contract he signed.
SMH, there are definite personalities but the man takes care of his children and the mothers (to a degree). He doesn't have the crazy antics because he's available to them. You negropeans need to get over it and get back to your roots! There is nothing wrong with multiple wives (not if only he wifed all of them up). Dealing with what he's dealt with, he's a cool guy that handles his biz. Let him live.

Anti-drunk driving advocates are hoping Michigan lawmakers take action, or they believe driving in the state could become more dangerous in October.
That's because Michigan's legal blood alcohol limit will go up from .08 to .10.
The limit could go up because the 2003 law that lowered the BAC at .08 is set to expire this year and revert back to .10.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving is opposed to the change and so are many lawmakers. Michigan
Michigan stands to lose about $50 million in federal funding, and WSBT found a lot of people against an increase in the law.
If the state's .08 law is allowed to expire, Rebecca Betts will still make the same kind of drinks.
"I didn't know it was happening, and it doesn't make a big deal to me," said Betts.
Betts is a server at the Riverside Café in Niles. She serves soup, sandwiches and sometimes a side of something special. But if the drunk driving limit goes up to .10, nothing there would change.
"We cut our customers off all the time if we feel they are over the limit," Betts said.
But police are worried.
"Raising that limit back up, I feel, encourages people to not follow through on being safe and responsible," said Buchanan Police Sgt. Harvey Burnett.
Burnett says by raising the limit, people will be allowed to drink more, and when it comes to getting behind the wheel, that is just not safe.
"Drink a little more and take chances on the road, which increases accidents, injuries and fatalities," Burnett noted.
He isn't the only one with concerns. WSBT asked viewers on Facebook what they thought.
"What a mess."
"A mistake."
Mothers Against Drunk Driving testified in committee last week. MADD supports a bill that would keep Michigan's legal blood alcohol content for drivers at .08 percent. They say the .08 law has contributed to a 25% drop in drunk driving deaths in Michigan.
"You need a designated driver," said Robin Sanders of Coloma. "You shouldn't be drinking and getting behind the wheel."
And police agree. They just hope legislators do, too.
The Michigan House Criminal Justice Committee is expected to vote this week.
The Detroit Free Press covered last week's hearing and reported no one testified against the legislation to keep the BAC at .08.

Nearly six years on the yeast has given this classic brut cuvee a creamy texture and complex toasty nose. Primarily from the 1992 vintage, Cuvee 2000 balances the powerful fruit and body of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with the elegance and structure of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. For further complexity small amounts of reserve wines from the 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988 vintages were added. This is a decidedly rich and creamy sparkling wine with overtones of red fruit and apple.
As the first American sparking wine venture by a French Champagne house (Moet & Chandon), Domaine Chandon has been a leader in sparkling wine production since 1973. Bringing hundreds of years of winemaking tradition and experience to the Napa Valley, Chandon's principal achievement has been to craft a range of sparkling wines that reflect California's vibrant regional character,...Read More About Domaine Chandon
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley

HAH!! I like the interpretation! Nothing says "glass" like...uh...well...a sign that says "glass!"
Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Bullets are cheap. Life is priceless.
The sign is made of glass.
Phillip Glass wasn't playing this week so it had to do.
bottom of a beer mug with an image of Dark Side of the Moon reflected through the cuts and groves...
Canon Powershot A75 on auto with no flash at 1/8 and f-something. on a tripod too.
cropped closeup of lava lamp, backlit with a "white" LED flashlight.
Canon PowerShot A75, 1/8 sec at f4.5, ISO 100, on tripod.
zoomed closeup of a semi-frosted beermug, backlit with the lava lamp, sans the LED flashlight.
1/3 sec at f4.5, ISO unknown, on tripod.
#2 and #3 are not my best works as I would have redone the whole set up after viewing the results on the computer, but the batteries had gone kaput on me, including the backups.
my biggest beef with the point-n-shoot cameras are their unreliable auto-focus operation. this is why I want a DSLR, dammit! I'll get one someday soon!

Subject - Glass ball with bubbles, lit from below using an ordinary table lamp.
Took my kids to see their grandparents today. They had a window just shatter in their family room last night. It's one of those dual pane windows and the exterior portion is the part that broke. The thing stayed in place not a piece of glass came out. Anyway, I just happened to have my camera, we were on the way to go to lunch so I didn't have time to do much set up. I just pointed the camera at it and fired off a few captures. Here's one, no big deal but I thought I'd try to add to my challenge entry.
My Dad has a koi pond in the backyard so a few year back he install a koi themed stained glass window to the entry way. I was there today so I took a few photos. The circles are suppose to be bubbles. I never noticed before but it you look through the bubbles everything on the other side of the door is upside down.
Not the best, but I felt guilty about my lack of participation.

great posts everyone!
I really like beerman and BigJoe's pics
Alright, here is my first attempt:
I was doing this while waiting (all day) for the phone guy, so I had to do it with what I had around. I would have liked to have black acrylic under things instead of the clear that I had, as well as a black piece of foam core instead of the gray I had going on, but I still learned a LOT, so it is all good.
I believe these are all taken 1/100th at f/14, ISO 100, Canon 5D + 135 f/2.0L, tripod. Lighting for all of them is pretty much the same, AB800s shooting through umbrellas left and right, slightly behind the subject, EX580 either right up against the foam core background (to get some fall off), or in the case of the Blue Moon bottle, under the frosted acrylic.
While it was a learning experience, I am not very happy with the images, for instance, I find the reflection of the umbrella so recognizable as to be distracting, so I think I'm going to try shooting through the umbrella and then a shower curtain or bed sheet to soften that reflection a bit. I also think in the case of the bottles, I need a reflector or another flash in front to make the labels more readable. I'll have to keep trying throughout the week.
New shots:
This glass has milliseconds to live:
Two flash fires, one glass breaking:
Hey buddy, what's with the axe?
It's uhhh, a bottle opener:
And just to show you that I did stick with the thread rules and have alcohol involved in the shoot, I did do red wine, but I just didn't get any that really worked:
You can see these were the last of the night, and are very noisy because I had to push them so much.
Last edited by VF; January 21st, 2008 at 07:33 AM. Reason: Added new pics
OK, now that I have my pictures in, I can comment on others. Just remember I'm only one guy who can't get his own glass images looking right, so take my comments for what you will
FBJ: That sucks about the glasses! But it did make for some cool images! I also like some of the stuff you have on flickr which isn't here (some of the tube shots) I also very much like the lighting you have going on in the broken gauge shot, very nice!
Deuce: Nice first work. My comment on this image though is that I have a hard time focusing on the subject. I think that part of it is that the window and the reflection of the window on the table is the brightest things in frame. I think what is odd is that because the background is partially there, it is more distracting because you are trying to figure out what is going on, so I think I would like the background to be more there, with more emphasis on the bowl, or get rid of the background completely.
\_==o IxxI: Very creative interpretation of glass, I like it. Like others have said if you could have everything besides what is in the glasses blurred, it would be a stronger shot. I see that you already where shooting f/2.8, I wonder if getting the glasses closer to the camera might help you get more of this effect?
nocturn: I really like the use of the best buy bag as a gel. F/32, goddamn! But the results you get from it are great Love the crescent moon shot.
PuckMonkey: Absolutely love Love Letters to Tonga #1 and #2! (They are all good) 2 seconds hand held?! Do you have no pulse? Very impressive. That bottle really lights well from the bottom. Very cool idea with the laser painting.
Watti: The skyscrapers really really nicely show the qualities of glass, I really like the second one that shows all the irregularity going on. The chess shot is also very nice, although I feel that the piece in the background (the queen or the king, please excuse my ignorance) is not quite plumb.
KOD: I like the boosted contrast one as well, and I would be interested to see Glenn's suggestion of a gray scale version. The red lamp is interesting, what is it?
Big Joe: Really like the candy dish image! Very cool. With the beer stein, I like the luminance of the beer itself, but the glass of the stein doesn't have much definition. Perhaps if you had some light colored panels to place on either side of the stein out of frame so it had something to reflect, it might give the glass a bit more depth.
Rinkrat: Very cheeky! I like the brake lights going through your first frame.
KBM: I like this, I think you could push your contrast quite a bit and get some really dark blacks and bring your highlights up a bit, which I think would help this pop even more.
BeerMan: Cool use of an album as your background
PuckHead27: Very interesting subject. My only comment would be that it has a very strong color cast, which I'm not sure if you where going for something like that, but for me it makes it feel like the white balance is off. I don't know what your workflow is, if you are brining it in with something like photoshop or lightroom, it is pretty easy to tweak the color. If you are just bringing it in from camera, try setting the camera from auto white balance to tungsten or sodium vapor.
Again, like I said, it's not like I am kick ass at doing this, so my comments don't carry much weight at all, so please feel free to ignore them if you wish.
Great shots all! Thanks Glenn for setting this all up and moderating.

My three-dimensional body is weightless and extremely like a mobile new state of being.I'm feeling a little pain from a left heart catheterization procedure,where my physician chose to use the Angio-Seal Closure Device from St. Jude Medical. The Angio-Seal Device made of three absorbable components a small anchor,collagen and a suture. A delivery system allowed my physician to guide the anchor into my artery through the hole created during the procedure. The anchor was drawn against the wall of my artery while the suture allowed the collagen to compact to create a secure seal over the entry point. Anyway...I saw my body from all directions at once from in front,behind, and from the sides.I saw aspects to my features I had never known before adding a wholeness a completeness to my rear view mirror. This may be why I didn't recognize myself at first after I saw a body lying on my bed. As I got closer to the body I was curious about who it was and immediately I descended toward it. There was nothing unnatural about the experience. I was above my bed hovering near the head board. My sense of freedom was limitless I felt a s-u-r-g-e of energy!It was almost as if I felt a release inside of me and my free spirit was suddenly drawn out through my chest and pulled upward as if by a giant magnet.So there is nothing to worry about being metaphorical because it' fascinating to have these kind of metaphorical dream like stated embracing of the light. The little pain I felt from the Angio-Seal device only moments ago now was no longer discomforting at all.My attention went back to my body where I had realized I was having an out of body experience and I felt an urgency to tell Beliefnet. The expression came to be that I sensed great spirituality,knowledge,and wisdom So,I'm passing my experience to another generation of 2012.This has been with me for "eternities"where I'm fully trying to understand.I had a difficult time comprehending the concept of eternity,let alone eternities.Eternity to me had always been in the future but this experience had been with me for eternities. As these scenes unfolded in my mind and I saw images in the back of my mind of a time long ago of an existence before my life right here on earth of my relationship with these out of body experiences,I got excited to know the fact of a pre-earth life sealed in my mind a "rebirth" into a greater life of understanding and knowledge that stretched forward and backward through time.... BreinsAmnesty |
The concept of being one with all living things is simple yet profound. Honestly, I never gave it a thought until I was at my lowest point, feeling nothing, with nothing to give. It was at that moment I was embraced. I didn't get it at first, but over the years I grew and understood. I've written about the experience through fictional character Mary Corrigan in part II of my novel Reading To Jane. Don't know if I've given the beauty of the connection justice, but I sure tried. Lifesounds |
Was Jesus an "awakened" individual? One of the great mysteries of the New Testament is what was Jesus doing during the majority of his life that we know nothing about. Leaving aside the story of his birth, the only information we have about the younger years of Jesus comes from the Gospel of Luke who describes an occasion when a precocious twelve-year-old Jesus speaks in the temple, impressing his elders. The Bible is then silent about the following twenty year period of Jesus' life until he reappears on the scene around the age of thirty when he is baptized by John and begins his ministry. What happened during these missing years of Jesus' life? What experiences might have shaped Jesus into the man he became? Why do we find so many parallels between the teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism and the teachings of Jesus, who was considered a subversive in his Roman and Jewish community? Why do the contemplative practices of Jesus, which seem to confuse his disciples, seem so similar to Eastern meditative techniques? Could a clue to these missing years come from a controversial discovery over a century ago by a Russian journalist? In my new novel, THE BREATH OF GOD, I example the implications of this journalist's historical discovery through a fictional story of suspense, mystery, and mysticism.

This gorgeous new 141-room boutique may seem a bit out of place in the still-gritty Lower East Side neighborhood, which is known for its raucous late-night activity. But for well-heeled hipsters looking for downtown action, the cool design, attentive staff, fitness center, and pool combine to make this a very fine place to crash after a night out in skinny jeans.
The Hotel on Rivington is a secretive hot spot for well-heeled travelers who like their neighborhoods cool and their thread counts high. Sleek and stylish, the monied vibe doesn't exactly mesh with the Lower East Side's immigrant history, and the place is showing some serious wear and tear, but the luxurious rooms and amazing views just might merit the attitude.
The Wyndham Garden Chinatown is a modern mid-range chain hotel in the heart of bustling Chinatown. Though the hotel is a trek from traditional sights in midtown, it's within easy walking distance of trendy bars and restaurants in Chinatown and on the Lower East Side. Its 106 guest rooms are small but contemporary, and some come with outdoor terraces that look out onto the city.
Located well outside the conventional tourist zone in Chinatown -- close to Little Italy -- the 102 clean white guest rooms at the Best Western Bowery Hanbee Hotel are significantly more stylish than most hotels in its price range. And given its bright fitness center, free Wi-Fi, and free breakfast, it's an excellent pick.
Near bars and music venues in the Lower East Side (not SoHo), the 38 clean, stylish guest rooms at the Off-SoHo Suites have either shared or private access to a fully equipped kitchen. It's a fair pick, for the price, but it's rates often near those of fancier hotels on hipper blocks.
An affordable but still clean and comfortable option in the crowded-by-day, desolate-by-night, garbage-strewn heart of Chinatown (just outside the Lower East Side nightlife), this 70-room hotel doesn't have much beyond its cramped guest rooms -- no fitness center, restaurant, or Wi-Fi.
It's not in SoHo -- those swank lounges and fashion boutiques are about a 20- to 30-minute walk away. Rather, these 45 cramped but still comfortable guest rooms are on the border between the East Village and the Lower East Side, which have their own, albeit less swank, lounges and boutiques. It's OK, for the price, but consider Thompson LES.
