" Brand: M2b / Type: Maternity Tops "
I bought some nursing vests from Mothercare not long after I had my son. I got a pack of three - one white, one black and one light grey for around £20-£25 at the time. Looking online now, they seem to only sell these individually at around £15 each now (although I suspect they are frequently subject to BOGOF type offers as this seems rather expensive). Mine were from the M2b maternity range and I have recently been using them as maternity tops in my second pregnancy as they double up nicely as vests under lower cut tops.
The vests are 95% cotton & 5% elastane. They are quite long in length and have thin straps. These feature plastic clips that unclip to lower the top for feeding and then clip back up to secure the vest. They are gathered at both sides so as to allow them to stretch over your tummy - both in pregnancy and afterwards to allow for the post-pregnancy tummy! They can be washed at 40 degrees and you can also tumble dry which is great for nursing/maternity wear as I don't like to waste too much money buying lots of items that I will only wear for a short length of time. Being able to tumble dry means I can wash and get dry very quickly and wear again! The vests were available in small, medium, large or extra large rather than regular sizes. I am a size 12 and opted for a medium and this fitted me perfectly.
I never wore these as vest tops alone but they would be perfectly suitable for this use in the summer months. I prefer to use them for layering or wearing with comfy pyjama trousers at night to sleep in - which made night feeds easy. They are also comfortable for this use in pregnancy - the nursing clips do not rub at all so they feel like regular vest tops. I have found them to be of pretty good quality - they have washed really well and kept their shape without any sign of shrinking in the tumble dryer. The only problem that I have encountered is that one of the hems on one vest has come down a little due to lose stitching, but this was easily mended with a few stitches.
Overall, these are decent quality vests that are practical and comfortable for both a mummy to be and a nursing mum. They feel soft to the touch and comfortable on your skin. They are a handy item to have in your maternity wardrobe as they are so versatile. I think current prices are a bit high for what they are but if you could pick them up cheaper, I would definitely recommend them.
As a first time Mum to be it was a little daunting looking at the different maternity clothes that are available today. There seems to be so many different styles with claims to be the comfiest so it is hard to know what to choose.
My main reason for buying these tops was because they have drop down clips on the straps so they can be used after pregnancy when nursing your baby. This saves having to buy separate nursing tops.
The fabric is a typical stretchy fabric, common amongst most maternitywear. It is made up of 95% viscose and 5% elastane. It has a good amount of stretch in it, although I wasn't particularly huge it did shrink back well after each wash.
They are available in a number of colours. I have the black and grey ones and the colours haven't faded with washing. Other colours available include white and a striped blue/white. I have looked at the white version in the Mothercare store and it seems a little see through. I tried it on with some 'over the bump' maternity jeans underneath and it looked silly being able to see the dark stretchy jeans material beneath the top.
They are sized in small, medium or large. I am a size 12 and the medium fit me quite well. I would say medium is probably a 12 - 14 in UK sizes.
I saw this particular top on the Mothercare website, priced at 2 for £15. They are regularly on sale even though they seem to be a staple item in Mothercare's range.
The positives about this product are the price. They are relatively inexpensive for how long they last. I like that the nursing clips are easy to do up without having to look down and see what you're doing. They are suitable for summer or winter wear. I was pregnant throughout the summer so wore them by themselves and in winter after I had the baby I wore them with a cardigan over the top. They are very easy to layer and look good with a cardigan or jacket over the top.
The only negative point about this product is the length. I am quite tall at 5 foot 10 inches, and I found the top started to roll up along the hem at the bottom after a couple of washes. This caused me to keep having to pull it down throughout the day as it started to rise up which is not a good look with a Mummy tummy!
I would not recommend these for using for more than one pregnancy but they are good enough to see you through a year of use.
Having gotten rid of all my maternity clothes after having second child as we planned to wait quite a while for number three I suddenly had nothing to wear when 3 months later we found I was pregnant with baby number 3. I had to totally start from scratch with maternity and nursing clothes.
I bought 2 different m2b nursing tops recently both from a mothercare outlet store. Because it was the outlet store I paid £7.50 for one of them and £8 for the, both were originally £15 so I definitely got a bargain there.
Both the tops I bought are exactly the same just different colours; a blue stripe and a coral polka dot. They also stocked them in plain white, grey and black which would make brilliant basic tops to put under jumpers, cardys etc.
I loved the colours of the two I bought. They are basic strappy vest style tops with fine straps that unclip with a small plastic clip where the strap meets the front of the top to allow easy access to the breast for when you need to nurse baby. I've found the clips really easy to unclip and re clip without really having to look which will come in handy one baby is born.
The top hugs to your figure without feeling tight or constricting. It fits me perfectly at 30 weeks pregnant and because of the stretch I know it will still fit great after I have baby and no longer have my bump. Its extremely comfy to wear, even the labels at the back aren't itchy!
The top is made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane meaning its lovely and soft but has a decent amount of stretch to it as previously mentioned. The top can be washed at up to 40 degrees, is suitable in a tumble dryer and can be ironed; the washing instructions are easily found on the label down the inside seam of the top.
The tops come in small, medium and large. At a uk size 14 the tops I have are both a medium and fit perfectly.
For the price I paid I'm extremely pleased with the tops they do everything I want them to and are so comfy which is exactly what you want when you are pregnant and after birth. I love that for one price I get both a maternity top and one that I can continue to wear in the breastfeeding stage after I have the baby. The designs are great and it washes really well without any fading.
I'd happily recommend this top to any mum to be or new mum who is breastfeeding!

The 54th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC54) recently completed its subreflector, the first major part of China's prototype dish antenna for the SKA project. The subreflector is the part of the antenna that focuses the signal bounced off the dish – or main reflector – into the receiver.
In 2013, the SKA Organisation sent out requests to research organisations and commercial partners to participate in the analysis and final design of the SKA components. Ten teams – called consortia – were established to start design work on the different parts of the project, with each consortium composed of international partners who are leaders in their field.
The Dish Consortium is tasked with establishing a final design for the SKA dish antenna, and currently studies three prototype antennas: the DVA-1 in Canada, DVA-C in China, and MeerKAT-1 in South Africa.
The Chinese subreflector was developed by Zheng Yuanpeng's team at CETC54's Joint Laboratory for Radio Astronomy Technology (JLRAT). Made of carbon fibre reinforced polymers, it is 5-m wide and weighs 248 kg. One month was needed to produce it once the mould was ready. Tested by photogrametry, the subreflector has a surface accuracy of 0.24 mm (rms).
Meanwhile, the manufacturing of the mould for the 15-m diameter main reflector is nearly finished. "Achieving the desired surface accuracy over such a large size is a significant challenge, but completing the subreflector was a significant step towards manufacturing the main reflector", the JLRAT/CETC54 team said.
China plans to manufacture, integrate, and test its antenna design in just a few months.
Once completed, design options taken from the three prototype antennas will be analysed, and their construction costs estimated for a cost-performance comparison. Preliminary and detailed designs of the chosen antenna structure will then be carried out, with detailed drawings as well as manufacturing and verification test plans for the design of the pre-production SKA prototype antenna.
The SKA will complete its phase 1 detailed design in 2016 and enter construction in 2018, with start of early science expected in 2020.

Just writing to say thank you, thank you, thank you. Greenhorn were the most beloved of all the Cowtown bands, and the most missed. I can't believe that there was never an LP availible. Though these recordings will certainly pale in comparison to their live shows circa '95 or so, it is much better than no Greenhorn. Again, thanks.ReplyDelete
I would love to have these three Greenhorn downloads. Can you please make them available again? The links above are broken.ReplyDelete

Development Begins Rising on Bergen Street
A building frame is going up at 650-654 Bergen Street, the new development planned right off Vanderbilt Avenue. According to DOB records, it will only be a three-story, three-unit build. The lot itself is 65 feet by 131 feet with about 22,270 buildable square feet. The architect on record is Bricolage Designs, a firm responsible for many of the new developments on 4th Avenue. GMAP

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) this week defended Russia's annexation of Crimea, saying the United States "should be pleased" that the takeover was a "virtually bloodless transfer of power."
The Democratic firebrand, known for his incendiary rhetoric and pugnacious debate style, called Crimea's vote to join Russia completely legitimate.
Russian troops, Grayson said, are only in Crimea to ensure Ukrainians don't interfere with the will of nearly 2 million people who had grown tired of ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
"You may say that [Yanukovych] was thrown out of office for good reason. There are allegations against him that he was corrupt, there are allegations against him that he used the military against his own people to stay in power," Grayson said during Tuesday's House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on a bill to provide aid to Ukraine. "But the fact is that from the perspective of the Crimeans, their leader, the one that they placed in charge of their country, was thrown out of power."
"So it should come as no surprise … that the Crimeans had had enough, and they wanted to leave this artificial entity called the Ukraine," he added.
Grayson continued, addressing Russia's role in the Ukraine crisis.
"Now, in fact, the Russians did assist, they assisted by disarming the local Ukrainian army and navy. That's what they did. They did it virtually bloodlessly. They did this so that the Ukrainian army and navy could not interfere with the referendum that was held. That's the fact of the matter," Grayson said.
"Why are we pretending otherwise? Why are we speaking about naked aggression, why are we speaking about stealing Crimea, why are we speaking about bullying, or the new Soviet Union, or thuggery, or audacious power-grabbing, or bully bear Putin, or Cold War two?" he said.
Grayson contended that Russia's actions in Crimea do not, in fact, mark the start of a new Cold War.
"In fact it's quite the contrary. We should be pleased to see, pleased to see, when a virtually bloodless transfer of power establishes self-determination for 2 million people somewhere in the world, anywhere in world," he said.
But rather than being pleased, he said, we're instead seeing the "vilification" of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Yanukovych and "anybody that we try to identify as our enemy."
"The basic principle here is self determination," Grayson condluded. "That's what's happened in the Crimea, and it's not for us to determine otherwise."

A memorial service was held for Bobbye Priddy, Monday evening at the church. There was a dinner for family and friends afterward. The good attendance at that service was a testimony for how well Bobbye was loved, not only by the folks at Bethany Baptist Church, but by many in the community. The service and the attendance would have pleased and maybe surprised Bobbye, if she could have seen it, and maybe she did.
There would have been even a few more in attendance if there had not been the loss of electric power in parts of Ava that kept some members from being able to attend. Jim Corder brought his generator so that there was air conditioning and lights at the church.
Michael and Pam Eastridge were guests at Bethany Baptist Church, Sunday morning. Michael and Pam sang a special song before the preaching services at 11:00 and 1:00. He accompanied them on an Omni-chord; which he said was like an "Autoharp on steroids."
Michael brought a message he called, "Time for Harvest," Some people love gardening, but it is not the digging, planting, watering, and weeding that people look forward to, but the harvest that comes later. Jesus looked forward with joy to a harvest of souls, but before that harvest there had to be sorrow and rejection, much pain and suffering on the cross, and his death. But he arose and because he arose there will be a resurrection day for all the believers. The trumpet will sound and those who died in Christ will rise first. For the saved it will be a day of joy, but for the millions left behind it will be tragedy.
The time to win souls to Christ is quickly passing. The day will come when no more souls can be saved. Someone has to care enough to take the gospel to the people they know before the harvest is ended and the reaping begins.

New York Green Roof Contractor
I love the abundance of energy emerging for green roofs in Brooklyn and New York. Installing a green roof in Brooklyn is the smartest think I can think of. When I go on a Brooklyn rooftop and see all the plane flat roofs I see a possible forest of verdant green and fauna.
I see a cool rooftop landscape where the city heat has been reduced noticeably.
Green roofs in Brooklyn make so much sense that I'd say it is one of the top things in greening a brownstone. The good news is that there are some great Brooklyn and NY green roof companies available. We all share the passion for green and so the companies share an idealism that often is lacking in business.
Eco Brooklyn is a green roof installer so you might wonder why I'm raving about other New York green roof companies. The truth is that we need to work together. There are too many roofs for just one company to bring the New York green roof industry to critical mass.
Critical mass is when it is adopted by the main stream and no just intelligent early adopters. Critical mass is when you see a noticeable change in city air quality, temperature and wildlife liveliness. Critical mass is also when installing green roofs really takes off as a business.
So I am happy to be part of the New York green roof installers. We can all help in this very wonderful and important job of putting green roofs on as many NY rooftops!

I have accidentally discovered a way to give my streptocarpus steady, but not over, water.
My problem was either over watering to the point of creating root rot or waiting too long to water. Once they wilted and were watered, growth and bloom was interrupted for me; could never seem to hit the happy mid point.
One day I sat a 4" pot of streps into an empty 2 pc pot that had water in the outer pot, to get it out of the way. A few days later I noticed it seemed to stay turgid and green; I lifted the 4" pot and realized there was a small amount of water under the plant that was being wicked by the string in the plant.
What would happen if I put a small amount of perlite in the inner pot and sat the planted pot on top of it?
It works--the perlite stays moist; the plant wicks moisture as if it is on a mat. Now all I have to remember to do is keep water in the outer reservoir.
These photos show my results. First 2 photo are simply my Atusu Nama unassembled and assembled, I have trimmed away about 8 spent stalks of blooms. The 3rd is a photo of Red Hot Mama plant directly into the inner pot, I am not nearly as pleased with its progress as with the other.
Two piece ceramic self water pots and gessies
I have accidentally discovered a way to give my streptocarpus steady, but not over, water.
A couple of years ago I got two of these pots from Sally (The Salvation Army Store) and used them for Sinningias. For me they worked no better than the plastic two-piece pots I normally use. And as for Streps, mine get too big for a four-incher....
Some of mine are wicked.The problem is when they get big a section of 5 or 6 leaves breaks off the plant.Do I stake or tie them to correct this?
Lynn, I have not been able to grow any to this point yet.
This message was edited May 8, 2012 2:39 PM
That is great. I just love to hear someone has learned how to have success with growing a problem-type plant. I too have problems with streps. I love the blooms, but I just cant get that water..too much/not enough right either. The last couple I bought, I sunk the 2" pot into the top of 3" plastic oyama pot surrounded with perlite. It worked really well, the roots grew out the bottom holes of the 2" pot and into the perlite, the the plants were very happy. Now I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I need to step up a size...guess I'll be making my own version of oyama pot with cottage cheese containers, ha. tish

Oris is no stranger to watches inspired by elite special forces units around the world (Col Moschin, Blue Angels), and here today is another one. This one draws inspiration from one of France's elite aviation units known as "4ème Régiment d'Hélicoptères des Forces Spéciales" or "4th Special Forces Helicopter Regiment". It's a decent looking watch with an automatic mechanical movement and not much more. Oh, it also comes with a certificate and a key ring. Big woop. I don't see much appeal for this watch outside of France, but then again that's probably by design. No word on price. More at the #1 Oris Community, Friends of Oris.

Long distance and emergency 911 phone service is out in communities along much of Lake Superior's North Shore. Local service remains unaffected.
A Qwest spokeswoman says service has been lost in communities including Grand Marais, Silver Bay, Finlayson and Two Harbors. Joanna Hjelmeland says fiber optic cables were damaged at a site outside Duluth.
"What we believe it is, is steam damage on one of our fiber lines," she said. "The first priority for us is to get to the damage and get it fixed as quickly as possible, and right now we're still working to get it fixed."
People needing 911 emergency assistance have two alternate phone numbers to use; in the Grand Marais area it's 218-387-3030. In the Silver Bay area it's 218-226-6100.

The Columbus Dispatch, December 26, 2012
Has it ever occurred to the gladiators that improving the quality of health care can also save money? If Medicare spends less on a patient because the hospital does a good job the first time, that's what we call a win-win situation. The patient gets better care. The taxpayers get billed only once. Many ObamaCare critics simply can't say yes to the good news that the Affordable Care Act will actually reduce deficits—despite positive projections by the Congressional Budget Office. They won't concede that in a tremendously wasteful health care system such as ours, cuts in spending can be made without inconveniencing patients in the slightest.

Is there an easy way to reset the changes made to the predefined color themes using the theme options without having to reset all of the theme options completely?
Okay, let me perhaps rephrase the question, since another approach would be more useful for me as well:
Is it possible to somehow see the changes I make to predefined color schemes using the backend in some CSS? This would help me to just transfer them into my custom.css easily.
No, there's no way to see the changes in the backend. You can try to reset the styling rules by clicking on a color sheme button. I'm not sure if this resets/reconfigures all styling rules but I think so.
Thanks a lot for your reply. :)
Is there also no way of somehow having a look at the generated CSS file the dynamic-css.php script generates or perhaps to get the scripts output somehow?
Hi Lukas,
Right-click on your webage then go to View Source or Page Source. Underneath this line
<!-- custom styles set at your backend-->
you'll find the styles used in your Theme Options.

If you didn't believe Al Gore when he warned you about climate change, maybe you'll trust Bill Nye.
A new exhibit at the Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland encourages visitors to become "climate scouts." That means you will assist in inspecting the natural world for evidence of climate change. It's hosted by the friendly scientist from the TV show "Bill Nye the Science Guy," who appears throughout the center in encouraging video messages.
The "Bill Nye's Climate Lab" exhibit also reveals details about the work of climatologists who study natural phenomena to ascertain the extent of humans' impact on the Earth. In addition, visitors will learn about new efforts to stem the imbalance caused by pollution and human meddling into atmospheric conditions.
For example, exhibits demonstrate how whirlpools and wind can be harnessed to generate energy, rather than relying on air-clogging gasoline.
There's even a competitive aspect to the exhibit. Visitors can accrue "solutions" by interacting with demonstrations, comparing their own discovers to those of their peers. After you're done, you can visit billsclimatelab.org to revisit the experience.
It may be hard to envision global warming when we're in the grips of a cold spell around the state. But of course, climate and weather are two very different things.
Bill's been in the headlines a lot lately: recently, when delivering a lecture at the University of Southern California, he fainted on stage. After a quick recovery, his voice faltered and he had to leave the stage to rest. After wards, he blamed a busy schedule, hunger, and exhaustion for the fainting spell.

Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX - Free Report) is scheduled to report its fourth quarter and full year 2011 results before the market opens on Thursday, January 19. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter is 69 cents per share, representing an estimated year-over-year slump of about 57.96%. For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimate is $4.87 per share, up roughly 5.12% from the previous year.
We do not expect Freeport to report extraordinary result this quarter given the weakness in the economy, the increase in raw material prices and the prolonged strike at PT Freeport Indonesia.
Previous Quarter Performance
Freeport's third-quarter earnings per share of $1.10 missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents per share.
Revenues in the quarter were $5.20 billion, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.01 billion. Consolidated sales from mines totaled 947 million pounds of copper, 409,000 ounces of gold and 19 million pounds of molybdenum compared with 1.1 billion pounds of copper, 497,000 ounces of gold and 17 million pounds of molybdenum in the second quarter of 2010.
Earnings Estimate Revisions - Overview
Ahead of the earnings release, the Zacks Consensus Estimates for the fourth quarter and full year are slightly down in the last 30 days. However, in the last 7 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth quarter and full year has gone up, due to the end of the prolonged strike and the expansion of reserves to support the development of additional future production capacity in large minerals districts.
Agreement of Estimate Revisions
Of the 17 analysts covering the stock, 2 have increased their estimates for the fourth quarter, while only one has moved in the opposite direction over the last 7 days.
Moreover, for full-year 2011, there are 2 upward estimate revisions and 1 downward movement. For full-year 2012, 2 downward revisions were witnessed while none moved up over the last 7 days.
Magnitude of Estimate Revisions
The Zacks Consensus Estimates for the fourth quarter and full-year 2011 spiked over the last 7 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth quarter increased from earnings per share of 67 cents to 69 cents. For full-year 2011, the estimate increased by 1 cent to $4.87 per share.
Earnings Surprise
Freeport's performance has been stable over the trailing four quarters with respect to earnings surprises. The average earnings surprise was a positive 11.6%. This implies that the company has beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate by the same magnitude over the last four quarters.
Our Viewpoint
Freeport is conducting exploration activities near its existing mines with a focus on opportunities to expand reserves that will support the development of additional future production capacity in the large minerals districts, where it currently operates.
We believe the favorable exploration results indicate opportunities for significant future potential reserve additions in North and South America and in the TenkeFungurume minerals district. The drilling data in North America continues to indicate the potential for expanded sulfide production.
Going by estimate revision trends and the magnitude of revision, there is admittedly a marginal downward pressure on the shares over the near term.
Freeport maintains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating. However, considering the company's business model and fundamentals, we have a long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.
The company faces stiff competition from Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM - Free Report) and Southern Copper Corp. (SCCO - Free Report) .

Designer shades, quiet hustle: The entrepreneurs of the New York City homeless shelter
Let's face it: There is always something awkward between the urban down-and-out and their liberal, educated sympathizers. It hovers, it looms, but it won't even whisper its name. If you are a member of the former, all you have to do to bring the monster out of the box is show a member of the latter a certain music video: "Hell Yeah," by Dead Prez. It is, in my opinion, the greatest rap video in the history of the medium. It's also, on the surface, a sharp slap at shallow liberal sympathy.
This video from 2004 is choreographed like a Muppet Show number directed by Spike Jonze (actually by Gil Green), but right from the start, its buoyancy is undercut by "home movie" footage of a white suburban family driving down the wrong block while on vacation. In a reality-TV-nightmare flipside to National Lampoon's Vacation, they end up getting violently carjacked. Dead Prez members stic.man and M-1 take off in the car with a couple of homies, recording their crime with the freshly stolen family camcorder.
Story Continued Below
The rest of the video (and song) is a lyrical primer on every hustle, caper and scheme uneducated, underfed, over-stimulated poor folks pull to get by: armed robbery, petty theft, credit fraud, welfare fraud …
The sing-song choruses go like this:
Chorus #1 Got to get this paaaay-per I'm down for the caper, we steady on the grind It's a daily struuuuggle We all gotta hustle, this is the way we survive [x2]
Chorus #2 If you claimin' gaaaangsta Then bang on the system, and show that you ready to ride Til' we get our freeeedom We got to get over, we steady on the grind [x2]
Too bad for Fox News that Michelle Obama didn't invite Dead Prez to the White House instead of Common, since their work is so much easier to twist out of context—Hell Yeah most of all.
A few years ago, I showed the video to an online friend, an urban professional and self-professed progressive, who responded, "Holy shit! That was like eating a dirt sandwich!" When I protested that the video is actually a masterpiece he should watch again more closely, he said, "I'd rather stick needles in my eyes!"
So there was a disconnect there, but I appreciated his honesty. What the video actually addresses is something that goes unspoken most of the time—the exasperation among non-poor liberals with poor people who don't appear noble, humble, physically vulnerable or, when they do something wrong, apologetic. It's hard to know what to do with them. These are the people you don't even want to think about. They are not interested in getting a job or bettering themselves through education. They just want to get high, stockpile designer threads and gaudy jewelry, party. Fuck a future, fuck the world.
You can appreciate the dilemma it causes for bright young people of privilege devoted to helping the inner-city poor. A teaching assistant is tutoring some underprivileged kids in a Bronx public library when a car blasting "Beamer, Benz or Bentley" at eardrum-shattering levels settles just outside the nearest window. She has to wait 60 excruciating seconds before the stop light changes and sends the hellish music away. While she waits, she peers outside the window to find a carload of young men who look determined to find trouble before the sun goes down. The window pane rattles in rhythm to their idiocy. She grits her teeth, clears her throat. Her face turns a tad red and her eyes mist over just a bit—not from sentimental thoughts but a kind of psychosomatic reaction: bullshit as an eye irritant. But she settles it in her mind before returning to the kids: She's here to save them from ending up like those assholes outside.
A big-city secret is that those assholes outside often end up where I ended up, in a homeless shelter. It's a secret because homelessness is the one condition they find shameful. An inner-city hustler's entire life is devoted to either rising above his station or projecting the illusion of same. So when the drug abuse or prison term or unemployability send him into the street, he needs a hiding place. Homeless shelters are a place for him to hide his shame. What I discovered at various shelters in New York City is that they are also the place where hustling goes into overdrive.
I was standing on the dinner line at a certain shelter when a guy walked by carrying several dozen rosaries in one hand and in the other some kind of saints-and-popes trading cards, or patches. "One dolla, one dolla, one dolla," he said. "Everything one dolla, one dolla, one dolla." That's the going rate for small items . Jumbo candy bars, one dolla. "Tube socks, one dolla, one dolla." "T-shirts, t-shirts, t-shirts, one dolla."
Loose cigarettes can fluctuate between 50 cents and a buck, depending on who is more desperate at the moment, the buyer or the seller. As you leave or enter the shelter, you pass a young man chanting, "Loose, loose, loose," very faintly, without moving his lips much. Discretion is paramount.
Everywhere you go in the system, there's a guy who stops you to say, "You got state ID? If you got it, you can make a quick hundred dollas."
Bootleggers push the latest releases on DVD, "two for five, five for ten, all the latest, clear copies, clear copies, clear copies. I got that Madea, I got that Fast Five, cartoons, pornos, clear copies, clear copies…" If you want a phone or a laptop, name your price. Somebody in the building has one that means less to him right now than having some cash in hand. Just ask around.
I was headed to the bathroom to shave my head one morning, and a guy came up alongside me: "Hey, fam, those your clippers?"
"You wanna make some money? I know a whole lineup of brothers need their hair cut in here. You can cut hair?"
"Only my own."
"Well, I can cut good. Let's get this money. Your clippers, my skills, we split it fifty-fifty."
"Okay, cool. Just knock on my door later. 40A."
At another shelter, I settled into my room and attempted to piggyback a local wi-fi signal. Nothing doing. I went out to the hallway and picked up a frail green signal bar from the offices on the floor below. Not enough. My new next-door neighbor came out of his room and saw me engrossed in the 21st-century version of beachcombing. "Hey, no luck with a signal?" he said. "You wanna do some business?"
His smart phone, it turns out, is also a wireless hotspot. For five dollars, he gives me the password. Whenever he's home, I'm in business. And since shelters have strict curfews, I'm guaranteed internet from 10 p.m. til 6 a.m., at least.
"I know y'all think I'm a little grimy for doing it," a tall dead ringer for the comedian Sinbad once said to us in the cafeteria at yet another men's shelter uptown. "But, damn, man, I gotta eat."
He had confessed to loading up on business suits at charities that donate clothes for job interviews, then selling them. Nobody chastised him for it, but his conscience had him jawing. The same shelter is where I almost went into business loading up people's iPods with free music. But I never asked for money. My roommate said he had a host of clients he'd bring to me, but I didn't stay long enough to let him prove it.
I'm not used to living like this, is the common refrain. I had cars, fly clothes, always stayed with a fresh haircut. I got to get back to that, got to get on my grind, stack this money, until I'm back to the lifestyle I'm used to.
You've never seen so many designer shades as you do in a New York City homeless shelter.
The idea of a shelter is, you save money until you have enough to move into a room, at least; an apartment at best. For the unskilled, uneducated and folks with a felony record, savings can be slim. A minimum-wage or near-minimum-wage job doesn't pay market rent anywhere in this city.
With that understanding, a program called Work Advantage was instituted by the city in 2007. Its intention was to help the homeless population transition into stable apartments. Caseworkers at shelters were securing Work Advantage vouchers for their clients. With the voucher, a tenant paid only 30 percent of their rent, if they earned a certain amount of income—for the first year. This way, even after having saved while in the shelter, a person could continue to work and save outside the shelter while pursuing training or college courses that would lead to higher earning potential.
The program is said to have failed. According to many housing caseworkers I've spoken to, a great number of clients would use the voucher to get a nice apartment and then relax. No looking for work or training. If drugs was the problem, the apartment became a crack house. If depression was the problem, studios became crypts. So, with city and state administrators looking everywhere for budget items to slice, the writing was on the wall. The program, now called simply Advantage, was terminated on March 14, though some are fighting to have it reinstated.
This is the kind of failure that makes the people who are doing their best to help us grit their teeth and turn red in the face. If only we'd proven ourselves more worthy of government largesse …
With working stiffs and urban professionals feeling the pressure of a post-2008, warp-speed global economy on their backs daily, who could blame them for viewing the bums as a colossal albatross? Why, oh, why won't we just do right? No one wants to say it out loud, but might this chronic ability to mess up a good thing possibly be … genetic? How else can you account for people who have been given so many wonderful opportunities to join the mainstream of society but choose to wallow in the gutter?
The "Hell Yeah" video ends with a police raid. Cops storm the apartment where Dead Prez and their homies stash their ill-gotten goods. It's a chaotic, violent scene to match the one that started the video. Suddenly, a flash, and stic.man of Dead Prez wakes up shouting English-subtitled Swahili on a beautiful, sunny beach. He is dressed fancifully, like some kind of comic book African prince. Century unknown. A beautiful woman laying beside him sweetly asks, "What's wrong with my husband?"
He looks shaken as he answers, "I was having a very bad dream. We were in another country, in a foreign land, and we had nothing."
His eyes widen, reliving it. "I mean nothing."

Ugh I hate parenting sometimes
I will be the first to say my son is pretty good most of the time. He keeps his room clean, very rarely mouths off, does great in school, and doesn't watch much tv or video games.
BUT...lately I can tell its become an issue of him not taking full responsibility for his actions. I don't know how else to explain it. Here is what happened tonight...
His baseball league was having Opening Ceremonies and there are tons of games, jumpers, food, etc. Well he played on this bungy jumper for a few turns and then asked for cotton candy. My husband went and got it, but the people didn't know how to run it right so it was small and looked weird. Instead of being grateful, my son got upset because it wasn't huge. I told him it was not nice and he could either eat what was given to him or we would find another child to give it to. So he apologized, took it, and ate without further comments. After he asked if he could do the bungy thing again and then do the laser tag, which we said lets do one thing at a time. So he ran off and got in line for the bungy jumper. While in line my husband said he wanted to take him to a booth that had batting gloves because he needs a new pair. My son said fine, but when his turn was over he ran and hid. We found him and he ran again. When I got to him again I told him that he will not be doing laser tag and now will not be getting new gloves. We are leaving, please go to the car. Of course, this did not go over well. He cried, normal 8 year old tantrum. My husband and I walked away - knowing he would follow. I am not a parent that repeatedly tells a child over and over and over and over to do the same thing. I find it rude. I expect something done the one time I ask it. Yes he followed and the entire time walk was saying it was his dad's fault, he is mad, why do we have to go...etc.
I have decided that I will not be driving him to baseball tomorrow and a birthday part that he was supposed to go to. I will not be disrespected, talked to with attitude, then still be expected to take my child to activities and fun things. Its punishment for me too. I cannot tell you how much I LOVE LOVE to see him play baseball. He is really good at it and its just a fun sport to watch children play. I HATE that I won't get to see him tomorrow, but I don't know what else to do. I have made him write apology letters, its still happening. I have taken items away, its still happening. I made him call my inlaws and my sister in law to let them know he will not be playing tomorrow so they do not need to come watch. I think it was important for him to see that its not only him he is affecting as many people will now not be going because of his choices tonight.
I read this book Have A New Kid By Friday a couple of years ago for a paper I wrote. I liked the general ideas and suggestions and this is one of them. My son is only 8, but I would rather be stern now and keep consistent then have an out of control, mouth, rude, disrespectful teenager. I feel like a shitty mom right now and I am crying But I do not know what else to do. Word of advice, more suggestions, criticism, and agreement are all welcome.
Sounds like a communication issue. I understand the running and hiding was a bit over the top, but seems like he just needs to know that when he wants to express a dislike for something, there is a time and place to express it.
I know his team depends on him, which is something I explained. He knows not just him are being affected...its us, his team, his coaches, his grandparents, aunt, and his cousin (who loves him playing baseball more than anyone). I feel. The HORRIBLE, but have no idea what else to do. The easy thing to do is go back on my word, just to make everyone happy. Instead we are staying home and getting some stuff done around the house...and he is helping.
Quoting zianneaaliyah:

I agree with you and your punishments. I've begun to do the same with my kids, my two girls are 7 and 6 years old and sometimes I just want to scream because lately their lack of respect and attitudes have been off the wall. My 6 year old was really excited for today because I had told her that we'd go to the skate park and she could practice on her skateboard and then tomorrow she had plans to go to the park with a friend...well yesterday she got into serious trouble because of a fight with her sister, so she didn't get to go to the skate park today and she's not going out with her friend tomorrow. She cried and begged for me to let her go, promised she'd never fight with her sister again, etc. It sucks because I understand siblings fight, I have a sister of my own, but the fights are getting out of hand and other forms of discipline aren't doing anything to make it stop.
A few months ago my 7 year old was so disrespectful and mouthy my husband and I told her she wasn't going on a planned trip with her grandparents, she also lost all of her toys, wasn't allowed TV or the computer and had to apologize for her behavior and she had to explain to her grandparents why she wasn't going on the trip with them. She hasn't had a serious tantrum since that day.
I would just remind him that when he's feeling upset or he doesn't like something that he can politely ask can he talk or say something and then he can tell you how he is feeling and you will hear him out and you'll decide what to do from there.
Quoting bellawomen:
I agree. How to fix that? Any other time he communicates fine, but when he doesn't agree or dislikes something he doesn't.
Quoting zianneaaliyah:
Sounds like a communication issue. I understand the running and hiding was a bit over the top, but seems like he just needs to know that when he wants to express a dislike for something, there is a time and place to express it.
It sound's like you already know you are doing the right thing. Hang in there Momma! Its worth it in the long wrong and things will get better!

Character really does count for the Jaguars these days.
New general manager Gene Smith, who has been stressing the importance of character in the offseason as he rebuilds the team, showed how important it is Monday when he informed wide receiver Matt Jones he was being waived.
The Jaguars cut ties with Jones, the team's first-round draft pick in 2005 and leading wide receiver last season with 65 catches.
He was released from an Arkansas jail last week after violating his probation on a drug charge.
Jones was arrested last July on a cocaine possession charge, but agreed to enter a drug treatment program that would erase the felony charge against him. He then violated his probation when he flunked a drug and alcohol test. Jones told the judge he drank beer at a golf outing in February. He was jailed for a week and was released Saturday, one day earlier than expected.
Smith didn't want to discuss Jones' case specifically. "I think all leaders, whatever position they're in, have to stand for something, and obviously to me, character matters," Smith said. "I think all successful organizations place a premium on character.''
The Jags gave Jones a second chance by bringing him back last season after his July 2008 arrest, but violating his probation was the last straw.
"There is a level of accountability that players on this team must meet,'' Smith said, adding that "availability supersedes ability. Whether it's injuries or issues, players have to be available to perform. They have to be available to help you win.''
Jones was suspended by the league for the final three games of last season and could be facing an even lengthier suspension next season.
Quarterback David Garrard was surprised by the team's decision to cut Jones.
"I was definitely shocked," Garrard said. "There are business decisions that have to be made and they're made. We support Matt as a person. We are here getting ready to start the 2009 season, starting [with] our weight program. We just have to move forward.' "
Smith is placing emphasis on improving team chemistry in the locker room after the lack of chemistry appeared to be a problem last season, when the team went 5-11.
"I think when you get more people that have a team mentality and are willing to make a commitment toward a common goal, that certainly helps your team chemistry,'' he said.
Smith has been busy remaking the roster in the offseason. He cut wide receiver Jerry Porter and cornerback Drayton Florence, even though the Jaguars invested $23 million in guaranteed money in them last year, because they didn't live up to expectations.
Smith also cut popular veterans Fred Taylor and Paul Spicer and passed up the big-money players in free agency to sign two former Philadelphia Eagles - offensive tackle Tra Thomas and safety Sean Considine - to modest contracts.
Smith also decided not to sign two former high draft picks, wide receiver Reggie Williams and left tackle Khalif Barnes, who didn't become the players the Jaguars hoped they would.
Jones' departure leaves the Jaguars with just five receivers on the roster: Dennis Northcutt, Mike Walker, D'Juan Woods, Troy Williamson and Nate Hughes. None are considered No. 1 receivers.
Smith said the Jaguars will pursue a veteran wide receiver in free agency and probably will draft one. This draft class is considered a deep one for wide receivers.
One veteran available is Torry Holt, who was recently cut by the Rams. Smith didn't want to discuss whether the team will pursue Holt, 32. It remains to be seen if he'll be in the team's price range.
Jones' departure means the team's first three first-round draft picks made by the regime of former vice president of player personnel James "Shack'' Harris and coach Jack Del Rio won't be on the team next year. Quarterback Byron Leftwich (2003) was cut in 2007, and Williams (2004) is an unrestricted free agent who won't be brought back.

Mercer Kitchen Ratings and Reviews
This is always a favorite of mine when I visit from Los Angeles. This time I had my girls ages 8y and 12 years with me. You know how picky kids can be. They LOVED it. Food was even better than my previous visits. Service was personable, friendly and impeccable. We all can't wait to come back. Thank you Mercer Kitchen!
I want to thank the Mercer Kitchen for accommodating my party of 6 for brunch although I totally messed up the reservation time thinking I made it for 1230pm we arrived at 1245 and was told that the reservation was for 1130a which it was. Although it was my mistake we were seated with no waiting. Now that is service. You made my wife very happy on her birthday celebration. The food was excellent and the bloody Mary's were perfect!!!! Thank you thank you thank you.
Telephoned to ask about arriving at 5pm because of an event at Scholastics Theatre around
the corner. Very awkward arrival because we weren't "allowed" at our table until 5:30 even
though we were anxious to order drinks and keep the evening moving along. We understood
the menu changed at 5:30, but most everything is on both menus and everyone seemed most
We decided to return after the event around 10pm for drinks and other food, but again had
a rather awkward and unfriendly arrival. The Café was supposedly closing and couldn't serve
us, the lobby lounge was reserved for hotel guests (although nearly empty) and we were
directed to return downstairs where we had dinner earlier. Despite being nearly empty
as well, we were not allowed a table and referred to sit at the bar. We really wanted to talk
since we were a group of friends who aren't together often, so we didn't want to be in a long
line of stools at the bar. After fifteen minutes or so, we were given a table were we each had
several drinks and late supper.
The point is that both of our arrivals had 15 to 30 minutes of awkward standing around listening
to the rules instead of being guest friendly. The food was good, the pricing is high and the
attitude was just not worth it.
Solo falto que el pan estuviera caliente
La comida buenisima!!
Went here for our anniversary. Table was in the corner which was fine, but the table next to us was so loud we could not have a conversation. I have been here a bunch of times, but this time was abnormally loud. Our food took forever and our server was really nice, but we had to wait over an hour with nothing to eat. My food was just okay, and my husband's was good. our starter was great. I left hungry since I didn't eat my meal and we had been there for over 2 hours. :(
Food was good however service was not. They acted like we were putting them out. Also they were out of common items such as Cabernet and other drinks which was crazy considering this was a popular restaurant in New York. We waited 40 minutes before they would serve us dinner, which was really disappointing.
When we were upstairs waiting for a uber after dinner because it was so cold outside- 2 women and 2 young kids - we were asked to leave because it was the hotel area. After staying in the Four Seasons and SoHo Grand -REALLY? This is completely unacceptable. Last time we will visit the Mercer Kitchen.
I am a customer of The Kitchen, once I live next door. This time, though, we were 12 people, reservation made and had to wait for quite a while. "our" table was not free, because after paying the check, the customers wouldn't leave and it took a while for the waitress to ask them to leave.
We finally secured a Saturday evening reservation and took a visiting friend to Mercer Kitchen. The food was top quality! The noise level was absurdly loud and the service was poor/fair. We waited almost 25 minutes between appetizer and main course. At each course, half the table got food and the other half got theirs 5 plus minutes later. Thankfully we asked for a check when ordering dessert or it would have added to the waiting. With so many quality restaurants in Manhattan, Mercer Kitchen should match its service to its food quality. Glad to have tried it but will try or return elsewhere for future special dinners. At this price point, everything should be wonderful!
Pésimo servicio la atención le pedimos varias cosas y no lo trajeron
Waited too long for our reserved table. Food ok but not great. Entree under cooked after specifically stating my concern regarding under cook meat. Compensated with dessert which was a good gesture. Sorry to say overall experience was not what was expediting for the overall cost of the meal.
One of my favorite go to spots in the city and has been since it opened! Cozy but lively atmosphere, excellent food and service all provided for an expensive but not over the top price point. Happened to be a special occasion but none is required to go here.
Service was unbelievable. Took 3 friends for birthdays and they did an amazing job. The food for the price was nothing special. We had a Brussels sprouts and salmon and it had zero taste. Don't order unless you want hospital meal. Friends had a seafood platter and it was tiny. It should be on the starter part f menu. The drinks, wine, ambience is why we not so disappointed. Will go again but only for appetizer.
I took a date here. I would say the food is excellent. The service was great a times and lacking at other times. We kept asking for our water glasses to be refilled, same with the iced tea that took too long to be replaced. We looked to the waiter for some guidance as to what we should order and he basically said that everything is good. I'm sure there are a few stand outs and the advice would have been appreciated. Overall a great place and we would go back. The bill was $200 without alcohol.

"Children born to women undergoing cancer drug treatment show normal results in physical and mental development tests" The Guardian has reported.
The news is based on research that examined the health of 70 children who were exposed to chemotherapy in the womb during the final two-thirds of pregnancy. Between the ages of 18 months and 18 years of age the children were given examinations of their general health, brain and heart function and hearing. Their cognitive function, hearing, heart function, growth and development were all comparable with the general population. However, being born prematurely was associated with lower cognitive scores, leading the researchers to recommend against doctors inducing early delivery in women requiring chemotherapy. The researchers also say their results do not support delaying chemotherapy in pregnant women.
During pregnancy treatment decisions have to be made that are in the best interest of the mother's health, while trying to avoid the risk of harm to the fetus. Unfortunately though, this relatively small dataset cannot provide conclusive proof that chemotherapy poses no risk at all to the unborn child. The researchers say that their study is currently gathering longer-term data on wider numbers of children to help explore the issue further.
The study was carried out by researchers from Leuven Cancer Institute and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, and other institutions in Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Canada. The study was funded by a number of European medical research and technology funds and the Belgian Ministry of Health. The study was published in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet.
In general the news provided balanced coverage of this study. The Daily Mail's headline declared that pregnant women with breast cancer can have chemotherapy and surgery and "still give birth safely". However, this is slightly confusing as the focus of this study was not women with breast cancer, and the study looked at children's long-term development rather than the safety of their delivery. The researchers' main finding was actually that premaurity was associated with lower IQ scores, meaning that planned premature delivery may not be the best option.
This was a cohort study looking at how foetal exposure to maternal cancer and treatment, including chemotherapy, affected the physical and cognitive development of child at various points through their childhood.
While it is known that exposure to chemotherapy during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy can increase the risk of congenital defects in the baby, there is uncertainty over whether exposure during later stages of pregnancy can also affect heart and brain development. The researchers say that up until now, limited data has been available on the longer-term outcomes of children exposed to chemotherapy in the uterus. With this in mind they intended to record the general health, cardiac function, and brain development in children who were exposed to chemotherapy in the uterus.
Cohort studies such as this are the best way of assessing harms from chemotherapy in pregnancy, as it is generally believed to be potentially harmful to the baby, but is sometimes unavoidable in clinical practice. Setting up a trial randomising pregnant women with cancer to receive cancer treatment or not in order to assess developmental effects on the offspring would be unethical, both for the mother (who may be denied the treatment she needs) and baby (who may put at unnecessary risk of harm). Therefore a cohort study is likely to be the most appropriate way of exploring the issue.
From 2005 onwards researchers began gathering study subjects from cancer referral centres in Belgium, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. This included both pregnant women receiving chemotherapy at the time, and children and mothers who had been exposed to chemotherapy several years prior to the study. Dependent on the age of the child the researchers carried out assessments at ages of 18 months, 5–6 years, 8–9 years, 11–12 years, 14–15 years, or 18 years. The study is ongoing, and in time these children will be given further examinations.
The researchers carried out neurological examinations, tests of cognitive function (using recognised child development tests or IQ tests), heart examinations (electrocardiography and echocardiography), and administered a questionnaire on general health and development. Children who were over five years of age also received hearing tests in addition the Child Behavior Checklist, a questionnaire that screens for behavioural and emotional problems.
The researchers compared their findings with available norms such as national data for height, weight, head circumference, as well as national and international reference data for neurodevelopmental tests, and heart examination tests.
The current analysis of this ongoing study looked at the participating children's development until March 2011. The researchers assessed 70 children (27 born between 1991 and 2004, and 43 born after 2004) from 68 pregnancies (two of the women had given birth to twins). All women had received chemotherapy; some were also given radiotherapy, surgery or both. Across the group, 19 different chemotherapy regimens had been given, in which 236 cycles of chemotherapy were administered.
On average the babies were born at a pregnancy duration of 35.7 weeks (i.e. most were premature); only 23 babies (33% of the cohort) were born at full term (37 weeks or over). The average period of follow-up for each child was 22.3 months.
The children's behavior, general health, hearing, growth, and heart function were comparable to the general population. Most children were recorded as having normal cognitive development, with most children with scores below the normal range having been born prematurely. After the researchers adjusted for age, sex, and country, they found an 11.6 point increase in IQ score for each additional month of pregnancy that the baby was carried for. The researchers found that both members of one of the twin pregnancies had severe neurodevelopmental delay, and could not be assessed with the complete set of cognitive tests.
The researchers conclude that children exposed to chemotherapy in the uterus do not have increased likelihood of neurological, cardiac, hearing or general health and growth impairments compared with the general population.
However, prematurity was common and was associated with impaired cognitive development; therefore, planned premature delivery should be avoided where possible.
During pregnancy difficult treatment decisions have to be made bearing in mind the best interests of both a mother and her unborn child. This valuable cohort study provides follow-up data on children who were exposed to chemotherapy while in the uterus, from young childhood through to adolescence and beyond.
Its findings are reassuring and suggest that a child's exposure to chemotherapy during later stage pregnancy (beyond the first 12 weeks) is not associated with brain, heart or other developmental complications in the child. As the researchers note, their findings do not support the practice of delaying chemotherapy or performing planned premature delivery in order to administer chemotherapy to the mother after birth (the study suggests that premature birth may carry greater risk of adverse cognitive outcome than chemotherapy exposure itself).
However, though it does provide some reassurance, unfortunately this relatively small dataset cannot provide conclusive proof that chemotherapy poses no risk at all to the unborn child:
