Mark Leftly: Proof that a word in the right ear changes policy
Government made to see sense on migrant cap
Sunday 07 November 2010
I tried and failed to get a hold of Sir Michael Snyder last week; he's in France and couldn't be reached.
I wanted to congratulate him, because if he's achieved what I think he's achieved, Snyder has just brought some common sense to one of the coalition's more ludicrous immigration policies. The City is the obvious beneficiary, but the Government's amendments to its proposed immigration cap will also, I hope, be the start of dragging policy into the 21st century.
The Government's immigration cap would have limited the number of skilled workers from outside the European Economic Area. It is a way for the Tories to fulfil their pledge to halve net immigration from nearly 200,000 people by 2015. It is an issue of enormous tension for their Liberal Democrat partners; the Business Secretary, Vince Cable, argues that the proposed system needs to be more flexible. Cable has gone so far as to argue that the cap could do "huge damage" to the British economy.
Even to strong supporters of limiting immigration, the policy made little sense, given that no country should want to cut the number of big brains active in its economy. David Cameron relaxed the policy slightly on Wednesday, announcing that "intra-company transfers" would not be included in the cap.
Snyder is the senior partner at accountant Kingston Smith and he is also the chairman of the Professional Services Competitiveness Group. Lord Mandelson formed this committee during the dying days of the Labour government, but it has more influence under the coalition. For example, both Cable and Mark Prisk, his junior minister, attended a recent 1 hour 40 minute meeting of the group.
The duo should have found the meeting beneficial. Sitting before them were about 20 of the top people in professional services. They included Stuart Popham, the senior partner at commercial law giant Clifford Chance; Ken Shuttleworth, the long-time Norman Foster lieutenant who went off to set up the architecture practice Make; PricewaterhouseCoopers' chairman, Ian Powell; Steve Ingham, the chief executive at recruitment consultant Michael Page International; and Christopher Satterthwaite, the boss of advertising giant Chime Communications.
They all agreed that the cap would hurt their businesses and the economy. They could see global institutions relocating to Asia or North America to keep their top talent together.
I am told that Snyder met the Chancellor, George Osborne, the Thursday before last. My source adds that Snyder laid down the bare facts, that starving business of talent is no way to tackle the ultra-sensitive mass immigration issue. Businesses, Osborne was told, were going to struggle unless they could get the best staff.
Maybe I've got this wrong, but as Cameron announced that change just six days later, I can only believe that Snyder's argument was decisive in changing the Government's mind.
Snyder's group meets four times a year, but it's squeezing in an extra session. I hope Snyder brings back fine champagne from France, as the committee members should raise their glasses to him.
Botin on board: Can Spaniard float Santander's boat?
The most ultra-macho of British industries are being infiltrated by women: Cynthia Carroll leads Anglo American with a resilience equal to that of the grizzled hard nuts who dismiss her; Alison Carnwath is bringing common sense to the often sleazy world of commercial property as chairman of Land Securities; and now Ana Patricia Botin has been named chief executive of Santander's UK arm.
That's the good news. The bad news is that Botin has to lead a flotation of the bank that is expected to raise about £4bn. Despite a fabulous CV and being the daughter of the group's chairman, she is unrecognisable in the City. Investors need a known name if they are to pay top dollar for shares.
You've made your point, RMT – now just get on with the job
As my colleague made the long walk over the Thames from Waterloo station to the City, her high heels blistering her feet, she got it.
As I handed over £15 to a taxi driver for a journey that would normally cost £1.80, I got it.
As the taxi driver sat for hours in the even more congested than usual central London roads, he got it.
As parents all over the capital struggled to reach nurseries and schools in time to pick up their children, they got it.
That's my first message to you RMT: we get it. The strikes, the third of which took place on Wednesday, show just how important your staff are, that without them London's transport system crumbles.
However, where once there was sympathy for your cause, now there is contempt. Where the public felt concern that 800 more underground staff are to be dumped on the dole queue, they now just wish that those who remain would get on with their jobs. Strikes are legitimate courses of action, but the point is to demonstrate your power, not to settle a score.
A 24-hour Tube strike wrecks everyone's plans, while the Fire Brigade Union's absurd, disgraceful decision to down hoses on bonfire night – called off at the last moment – would have endangered lives. The FBU may have relented, but few of us will forget how close it came to executing this stupid plan. In terms of the RMT, it would be far more sensible to strike just during rush hour or make a sudden but short walk-out.
The disruption would mean that we still get it, that the worries of vital employees must be listened to. Yet the public would not also feel that it is being pushed around.
The unions believe that industrial action will bring the public onside. Done right, it can.
But this is a country that, despite the mass unemployment, the wrecking of communities both small and vast, and the years of extreme boom and bust, still reveres Thatcher. And that is almost entirely because she broke the out-of-control unions.
This is my second message to you, RMT: don't test our patience.

She went in for her first interview only to find out that her first initiation test consisted of sucking and taking a bigger cock than she had imagined. It was too late to turn back now she couldnt risk looking like a chump. Peer pressure prevailed once again as Shayne got really close to deepthroating and took the big dick up her tight pussy.

1/2 cup brown sugar (more or less, to taste)
1/2 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons candied ginger, minced
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

What? I personally thought this was a great idea to build upon. In the country I come from, there is a huge economic gap between the farmers who live in the villages, and the consumers in the metropolitan cities. The government tries to subsidize the farmers by giving them money and infrastructure, but it's just not enough.
If social experiments in Facebook, Twitter and Anonymous have shown us anything, it is that the general public likes to participate in making major decisions (which makes then feel important), and are willing for this. It is a win-win situation for everyone.
However, it is crucial that the trolls be weeded out by some means.
And many children think milk comes from factories, not cows. Particularly those living in cities.
Western societies have it worse than Asian. Well, sort of. In China many restaurants have their food on display: various birds, snakes, fish and other sea animals, turtles, sometimes even dogs and cats.You point out which animal you want and they'll cook it for you. Killing if you prefer can be done under your watch.
Markets here often have large parts of cows, pigs and other large animals hanging on display. Such as complete rib cases, lungs, and tails (with the skin and hair in place preferably). The heads too. It doesn't need much fantasy to see which part of the animal it was.
Fowl like pigeons, ducks and chickens are also sold alive (though in Hong Kong at least that's quickly disappearing over bird flu fears). You choose the animal, hands-on if you like, the shop keeper will slaughter it while you're waiting. Fish, seafood and turtles are also routinely sold alive. I have had a dead fish jump off the kitchen sink an hour or so after being killed and gutted... that scared us mainly because the movement was so sudden and unexpected. A dead fish still jumping in the bag I've had quite often.
In the west indeed there is not much left of the original shape of the animal - many people dislike the idea of seeing what animal it used to be. You won't see a row of pig's heads in the butcher's display, for example. Fish is commonly sold dead, preferably sliced or processed as fish fingers or so. The head is typically tossed out, while the Chinese consider that the best part of the fish. Once when I cooked fish complete with head and tail a friend commented "I don't like my dinner to be watching me!".
So all in all, yes you're totally right. Most people don't know where their food comes from. They wouldn't know how a potato plant looks like (OK that's a non-obvious one). They may recognise corn plants, when grown full.
Knowing where one's food comes from is good I think. Makes people think more about their planet, the value of a clean environment, and how all that dirt we spew out in the air comes back to haunt them quite directly. Health is related to food: you are what you eat, and when you eat dirt, well that can't be too healthy either. And even if just 10,000 people can join a project like this may well generate a lot more general interest. Curious to see how it's going to play out.
You mean: weed-out the un-educated (in the subject of agri-business)? Weed them out and the experiment is pointless.
Here, in the case of running a farm, it makes a certain amount of sense to value experience, and education in farming. A great many people however would characterize farmers as being uneducated in a broad sense. Still, an "uneducated" farmer will likely make better farming decisions than your average physicist, lawyer, doctor, political scientist, computer programmer, etc etc.
On the other hand, considering there is a buy into the program, it might be reasonable to assume that only people with an interest in farming will take place. In that case they might take the effort to educate themselves into the real life consequences. In such a situation crowd sourcing might be effective.
One failure you make in thinking is your unquestioned assumption that educated people make better decisions than uneducated people. In the case of farming, a good farmer will probably make better decisions than a non-farmer, but from your language it's clear that you have an elitist, anti-democracy attitude which I would like to attempt to disabuse.
Consider for example the jelly bean experiment. If you take a jar of jelly beans and ask people to guess the number of jelly beans in the jar, the average guess will converge toward the actual number of jelly beans in the jar. The more people participating in the experiment the better. You won't get a better distribution by restricting yourself to people with PhD's.
Your elitist attitudes also require you to neglect the fact of association bias. Individuals who are successful within a given society, who have the largest share in the bounty of that society, tend to associate themselves most with that society, and are most inclined to support whatever policies, however idiotic and injust. A clear example from our own history is support for the Vietnam war, which was very strong among educated elites. The "uneducated" masses however were strongly against America's mass bombing of poor agrarians in a small country that never did us no harm. The "educated" elite bought into the Gulf of Tonkin incident and turned into bloodthirsty savages willing to blast poor farmers who wanted nothing more than to get rid of colonialist oppression (much as we had done some 175 years earlier). The "uneducated" masses were mistrustful and thought it was all a line of bullshit. The "uneducated" masses in America were educated to the fact that the really elite in our country were thinking only of their own selfish and short sighted interests, while the "educated" were trained in sophisticated methods of rationalization to excuse a foolish and evil misadventure. This trend applies quite generally, to our invasion of the bay of pigs, the Afghan war, the Iraq wars, the civil rights movement, etc. It's not unique to American culture either. It's a pretty uniform trend. The high ranking Nazis were typically very well educated, for example, and look how that turned out.
It is telling and ironic that you ridicule the fact that the single highest issue in the United States, when the government asked for reform ideas, was the repeal of Marijuanna prohibition. Legalizing drugs in general was of course discussed, but ending all drug prohibition across the board remains a fringe issue and was nowhere near the top. Ending Marijuanna prohibition and replacing it with a system of taxation and regulation similar to what we do with Tobacco was however right at the top, by far in the number one place. This is yet another example of where American policy would benefit from more democratic processes. The current system of Marijuanna prohibition is completely retarded and does not serve the interests of anyone besides the law enforcement community, paramilitaries, and of course the illegal drug cartels. Eve
In any problem, if you find yourself doing an infinite amount of work, the answer may be obtained by inspection.

Heat Celtics Game 4
What was with Miami's final play? A Wade isolation three? Ugh.
Jun 4, 2012, 12:38 PM EDT
Dwyane Wade is shooting 29.2 percent from three in the playoffs. Which is better than he shot during the regular season. It is not what he does well. So the fact Miami's final play of overtime devolved into a Wade pull-up three to win it was poor. Bad design, not great execution, just not putting…
LeBron, Pierce foul out of sadly whistle-happy game
Jun 4, 2012, 11:16 AM EDT
The biggest problem for the NBA is that the day after every major game we are discussing the officiating. And the officiating — particularly late in Game 4 of Miami and Boston — was a key part of the story Sunday. There were five offensive foul calls in the second half of the fourth quarter…
Video: Rondo, both coaches talk Celtics Game 4 victory
Jun 4, 2012, 9:58 AM EDT
Here is a slice of Erik Spoelstra's post-game press conference from Sunday night. He is pretty composed. It would have been way more fun to make Pat Riley get up there and see if he could hold his tongue about LeBron James fouling out. Also speaking here are Rajon Rondo, the guy that makes the…
What ankle problems? Ray Allen plays 46 minutes, looks good
Jun 4, 2012, 8:03 AM EDT
At the start of the Eastern Conference finals, Ray Allen was moving around the court like Betty White. Battling bone spurs in his ankles, he wasn't moving crisply to get open and when he did get a look there was no lift in his legs and shots clanged off the rim. He was even missing…
Celtics-Heat Game 4: Boston out executes Heat, evens series 2-2
Jun 4, 2012, 1:05 AM EDT
Boston owned the first half with a sharp offense. Miami played defense for the first time since their plane landed in Boston in the second half and tied it up. But with everything on the line at the end of the game and in overtime it came down to execution, and the veteran Celtics were…
LeBron on verge of slaying Celtics, demons that haunted him
May 10, 2011, 11:03 AM EDT
James Bond movies are only as good as the villain — unless there is someone who pushes Bond to new extremes, his victory is hollow. (Well, except for all the hot Bond girls.) That need for the hero to have to reach new heights is true of all drama. It is true of sports. What…
NBA Playoffs: Miami Heat make the leap with overtime win
May 9, 2011, 11:31 PM EDT
Early in the year, it didn't look like they would ever get here. Miami struggled in close games. They struggled against good teams. Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh played next to each other, not with each other. They took a mountain of criticism. They weathered it. They matured as a team. They started…
Chris Bosh admits he got nervous before Game 3
May 9, 2011, 1:11 PM EDT
For the first two games of the Heat vs. Celtics series, Chris Bosh did not have great numbers but he essentially played Kevin Garnett to a standstill. Not in Game 3 — Bosh had 6 points on 6 shots, plus just 5 rebounds. Garnett had 28 points and 18 boards. What happened? Bosh explained that…
Erik Spoelstra may tweak starting lineup. Finally.
May 9, 2011, 12:34 PM EDT
Miami's starting five has been a disaster these playoffs. The Heat are still winning games, but they are not going to continue doing that consistently playing out of a hole. So far in these playoffs, the starting five for the Heat — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh with Mike Bibby and Zydrunas Ilgauskas…
Rondo to have MRI, expected to go in Game 4
May 8, 2011, 2:14 PM EDT
As you would expect, Rajon Rondo is going to have an MRI on his left elbow after his injury Saturday night. And as you would expect, he is going to play in Game 4 regardless of what the MRI says. That's basically the story from coach Doc Rivers of Celtics practice Sunday, according to A.…

Kunle Adeleye, TASMAG Guest Contributor examines and suggests ways to end world hunger in this article. Hunger is the physiological need for food. No wonder, a popular adage once says that a hungry man is an angry man. Many people in some regions of the world still found it difficult to eat three times a day. UNICEF in 2011 puts the malnutrition in children under 5 at 24% in Nigeria; the number is expected to have raised due to the violence in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe. Action Against Hunger performed a rapid screening of children under the age of five which indicated that some areas could be at above crises levels, with nearly 30 percent of 4,445 children screened suffering from Global Acute Malnutrition.

Read 5 Music Videos That Made My December and you will discover that I know good music. I just have a thing for one of the music acts I grew up listening to; the Fuji maestro Pasuma Wonder. "Pasuma ma l'emi gbọ dagbaa" (borrowing Olamide's line) I have always liked Alhaji Alabi Pasuma even when the overblown controversy with Osupa Saheed took the Industry by storm. Just like you don't have to choose the family in which you are born to, you don't have the choice of music either as a child.

I knew I was not going to sleep all night due to the unusual four hours nap I had the previous afternoon when PHCN did what they know how to do best.

Egypt attracted solid demand at an auction of seven-year treasury bonds on Monday amid optimism that foreign donors will help ease the country's fiscal crisis, traders said.
March 6, 2012 10:57 by Reuters
The army-backed government hopes to secure $3.2 billion of funding from the International Monetary Fund soon as it moves to bring borrowing back under control after last year's popular uprising.
If it pulls off an IMF deal, that could encourage other lenders to provide further funds.
"That is why appetite (for government debt) is increasing. People don't want to miss the opportunity if the trend continues," said a senior trader at a Cairo bank.
The central bank said it sold 1 billion Egyptian pounds ($165.8 million) of the reopened seven-year bonds, the same amount it had asked for.
Yields ranged from 16.80 to 16.93 percent, compared with 16.85-16.95 percent at an auction of seven-year bonds on Feb. 20, when the bank raised less than half the amount it sought.
The average yield at Monday's auction was 16.91 percent.
Traders said bids were equivalent to 1.8 times the value of the sale. The bonds mature on Oct. 25, 2018, and carry a 14.5 percent coupon. Settlement will take place on March 6.
Egypt has received a fraction of the financial aid pledged by foreign donors after the uprising against Hosni Mubarak hammered the economy and an unpopular government faces a tough task selling austerity measures to the public and parliament.
Yields on government debt reached unsustainable multi-year highs in recent months as foreign investors waited on the sidelines, and several treasury auctions were undersubscribed.
The central bank has supported liquidity in the banking system by raising its benchmark Egyptian pound deposit rate, and yields on short-term debt edged lower at recent auctions.
"This time there is a higher probability of reaching a deal" with the IMF and other lenders, said the Cairo banker. "But if any political accidents happen again, I think we will be in trouble again, and this is a variable that we need to build in all the time now." ($1 = 6.03 Egyptian pounds) (Reporting by Tom Pfeiffer and Mohamed Samir; Editing by Hugh Lawson)

I built this costume for my girl (dressed as Ripley) to wear at our Halloween party. I used a 1/12 model kit to get dimensions and used a ton of reference photos I found on the web. Between the fact that she's 5-1 and that I wanted her to get under our 8' ceilings I scaled the loader down to about 80% actual size - with a few adjustments here and there. Everything was built completely from scratch except the beacon light on top and the 4-point racing harness. Total time spent building: about 180 hours over the course of 10 weeks.
I am missing photos for a few steps (like the wiring) but the comments I received on my Slideshow convinced me this should still be a full instructable.
To see a clip of the loader in action:
UPDATE: G4's Attack of the Show gave a nice little shout out to the costume and the instructable! (jump to 1:20)
Step 1: The Foot
A 1x6 piece was attached on top of the foot and the lower foot is shaped with 1/2" foam insulation and 1/8" Lauan . The lauan paneling is light, and pretty cheap, and it adds a lot of rigidity to the foam. All the foam was cut with a hot wire tool I got from a craft store and then sanded smooth.
Step 2: The Lower Leg
The lower leg was formed from lauan panels with foam attached for extra detail. The clamps are holding the foam pieces on the back of the leg. You can also see the gaps in the foot have been filled with caulk.
Then the lower leg was primed and spray painted. Foam disks were cut, shaped, and painted to be used for all the joints. They are not highly detailed, but they look convincing when it was all done.
Step 3: The Upper Leg
Step 4: Adding Lower Leg Details
Sintra sheet was used for the leg guard/grill and for two disks (painted silver) to separate the upper and lower leg to allow the knee to move easily.
The leg padding is pipe insulation cut in half. The foot tread is a chunk cut from an auto rubber floor mat.
Step 5: Finishing the Leg
Padding was added to upper leg, again from pipe insulation cut in half. A black piece of fabric runs between the back of the upper and lower leg.
Step 6: Adding Cylinders to the Leg
The upper tube is a piece of PVC covered with foil duct tape. The lower tube is a thick cardboard tube, covered with contact paper (for smoothness), then painted. The end mounts were formed from Sintra and glued on.
The same components would be used later for the arm cylinders.
Step 7: One more time!
I actually made paper templates of all the large foam and lauan pieces before making the first leg. Using these templates for each leg ensured they'd come out identical. Later, I did the same thing by making templates for the arms and grabbers.
Step 8: The Operator Cage
Later a strip of electroluminescent tape would circle part of the cage to light the operator's face (you can see this best in the youtube video).
Step 9: The Body
Lauan was added for the sides of the main body, but only a sheet of foam in the back. This means I wouldn't be attaching the very large arm cylinders in the back as a weight savings measure.
Some 1x3 lumber goes around the top of the body to add the support needed for the arms. Small blocks are also used to support the mounts were the head section will pivot.
Step 10: The Head
Step 11: Attaching the Harness, Beacon
The amber beacon light was also mounted on top. The light originally used a high-intensity halogen 12V bulb, but wanting to use a small, light battery, I replaced the bulb with two yellow LEDs and ran those and the motor off a 9 volt battery.
I shortened the "beaver tail" feature in the back where all the hoses are supposed to attach. This made it easier to set down and easier to navigated a crowded party. From the back angle you can see how the head section mounts to the main body. There is a piece of threaded rod running across with an aluminum tube covering it.
With the harness attached, it was finally time for "Ripley" to take an early test drive!
Step 12: The Arms
Also at this point the grabber/hands are coming along nicely toward the right of the first photo.
The arms were completed, primed, and then painted. The upper arm is below and the lower arm on top of the second photo.
Toward the right of the third photo you see a wrist joint on the lower arm. This is just a rigid, faked joint so that the grabber wouldn't flop around too much. A portion of a plastic bottle was use for the round cylinder sides of the wrist.
Step 13: Shoulder Joints
Step 14: The Grabber
The second photo shows the finished thing. The grabbers swivel 360 degrees and pinch together.To pinch, they slide along two aluminum tubes, so they can be positioned open, closed, or anywhere in between. Unfortunately I didn't have time to perfect the mechanics to power that (mostly I started running out of time), so I left the motors out and left them to be positioned by hand.
Step 15: Wiring and Final Assembly
The second photo shows how the cage lifts so the operator can get in.
awesome i made a mini version for my son!
Well, there were a TON of measurements :) But I don't really have them on hand. I was working quickly from measuring off a small model to scaling it up and tracing out patterns (in other words, making it up as I went along).
I really need to scan my patterns into a pdf someday - I still have them (the cutouts shown in step 7). But if you need a few key dimensions I should be able to check those and post them over the weekend.
Good Luck!
Sure thing! I am just struggling with the dimensions of the leg pieces right now (I'm sure the arms will give me trouble too).
who thinks the world is gonna end in 2012?
I really liked this instructable! Congrats on getting the mention on G4!!
Is it on proud display somewhere? Or mouldering in storage?
peace out

Local Television Reporter Jennifer Bisram, Announces Release of Children's Book- First Day of School: Do You Want to Be My Friend?
First Day of School - Do You Want to Be My Friend?, is a children's book, that was inspired by the story of Bisram's younger sister's first day of school. In her book, Bisram explores how the main character, Star is not afraid to make new friends on her first day. Star experiences what it's like to separate from her parents for the first time, adapting to an all-new environment. Throughout the course of the day, Star has several exchanges with her classmates on the school bus, in the hallway and in the classroom. Each conversation teaches her about the many places and cultures around the world.The book's vibrant and detailed writing and illustrations highlight varying ethnicities, foods, customs and countries around the world, bringing home the point that each culture is beautiful and to be valued, and each place has something special to offer.
This is the TV reporter's first children's book, but she's always had a love for children, even spending time in a classroom as a teacher for nearly two years in NYC before she made television reporting her full-time career. Jennifer's motivation to write this book came from the desire to teach kids about friendship and diversity through storytelling. Jennifer explains, "Coming from a South American, Caribbean, Indian family, I feel it is important to know who we are, who others are, and, realize that no matter where we come from, who we pray to and what foods we eat, we are all the same."
First Day of School: Do You Want to Be My Friend?, debuts online on August 18th at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and is available now at Books & Books bookstore in Coral Gables, Florida, with distribution plans for other bookstores as well as schools.
About Jennifer Bisram
Jennifer Bisram started her career off in print, and has penned pieces at newspapers like NY Newsday and the NY Amsterdam News. Jennifer moved on to a successful career in television reporting and has worked for several stations including News12, WPIX-TV, FOX Orlando and FOX Miami.
As a journalist, helping people through stories, Jennifer, has always wanted to reach children and her new book release "First Day of School: Do You Want To Be My Friend?" helps her to reach that goal. For more information on Jennifer's books, go to: http://www.bizzybookspublishing.com/.

MCN with Velcro tabs
Started by Dylan's Mummy , Jan 02 2013 04:57 PM

Posted 02 January 2013 - 04:57 PM
I'm just wondering if anyone has used the MCN with velcro tabs. Are they any good. I'm thinking of getting some because my bub doesn't stay still much during nappy changes these days, he rolls over and tries to crawl off and I thought that velcro tabs would be quicker than the ones I am using now.

I've been using Greenkids which are velcro for 21months on DS.
I prefer velcro for ease of use and speed .DP prefers velcro too, he struggles getting a good fit with snaps on DS ( I'm ok with snaps)
IMO velcro is easier to use but nappies with snaps don't wear as much and look newer for longer although I use my nappies until they die anyway so it doesn't bother me
The velcro all starts to look a bit tired after a while ( months or years mostly not too quick). You also need to make sure they are folded back onto the laundry tabs for the wash so they don't grab other nappies & covers etc.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 09:24 PM
Thanks for that information. Quick and easy is what I am looking for right now, I didn't think of the fact that my husband may actually use them if they are velco, he refuses to use the MCN, he doesn't like them.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 09:30 PM
Ones & Two's are awesome.
They have velcro tabs and are multi sized and can be snapped down to make them smaller or larger. They are also a great price especially if you buy their get into cloth kit.
I prefer itti bitti but o&t are a great going out nappy because they are so easy to use.

I like them. DH has sausage fingers so refers them also. DS went through a brief phase of undoing his velcro nappies but this has passed.
My velcro ones are Swaddlebees, Grovia and Happy Heinys. So far no wear problems at all.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 09:35 PM
I use the Bumgenius Velcro tabs MCNs. They are awesome. Love them!

Baby Beehinds do a Velcro one as well.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 09:44 PM
We have Tots Bots with velcro and they are the best nappies we own for DD.
We also have Pikapus with velcro and the velcro has been mangled to the point that it won't stick - they started going that way almost immediately and no amount of cleaning the velcro helps.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 09:51 PM
After 4 years of constant use I have just changed my 15 bumGenius velcros and Elastics.... Best thing ever!
Posted 03 January 2013 - 09:52 PM
I use BabyBeehinds with Velcro and they've lasted more than 2 years so far without the Velcro wearing out.
My daughter's never undone her nappies thank god! It was my worry with Velcro ones but it's never been an issue.
And if you don't have disposables around for your husband, he HAS to use MCN's Hide them where he can't find them lol.
Posted 05 January 2013 - 07:40 PM
We have Bumgenius and Thirsties in velcro. They are the only MCNs that DH and grandparents can use properly (as in, they never adjust the snaps tight enough for some odd reason).
18 months on and the velcro are still in good condition (and I rarely stick the tabs back before they go in the wash). DS has never tried to remove it himself either.
Also, I have a selection of small toys, books and knick knacks that DS can occupy himself with while I'm changing him. He doesn't roll around and stays fairly still for me.
Posted 05 January 2013 - 07:44 PM
I have a couple of velcro. They are fine for speed of use, but not so fine when you are in the kitchen and hear that tell tale velcro sound from the bedroom. Worse is when you don't hear it and you find child, nappy and poo in a cot, each in a different corner.
I don't find snaps take longer.
Posted 05 January 2013 - 07:51 PM
I have Bumgenius. I have the snap ones and velcro ones. LOVE them but the velcro ones are particularly awesome because you don't have to stuff them.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 09:41 AM
Thanks for these replies. I have some research to do now.
Raindotdot, I have some things to amuse himself with while on the change table but it doesn't always work, he just rolls over with them in his hands. He doesn't say still very long ever.
I have some success by doing up the snap nappies and then putting them on him like pants, just have to make sure he's pointing downwards after I've put them on.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 10:08 PM

This. Though I can't say my Pikapu velcro is mangled, they come unstuck in the wash and snag on each other. I still like these nappies.
My bub also went through a phase of opening her velcro nappies. She seems to have stopped, but I still like to put pants on over velcro nappies, whereas snap ones can be worn by themselves (I reckon they look neater too). I go through phases of liking velcro better than snap and vice versa, so I'm glad to have both in my stash.
