Here at A Suit That Fits in Ireland, we like to keep an eye on the suits that appear on The Graham Norton Show couch each week. Nearly every celebrity who appears on the show suits up nicely and the Friday night slot is fast becoming a showcase of the latest men's sartorial trends. Read More The suits on Graham Norton's couch last week
Some men have a lot of trouble finding a really well-fitting dress shirt. For instance: if you've got a wide neck, you obviously have to buy a larger shirt that fits your neck. But the problem with this is that the larger size may cause your shirt to look baggy on the rest of you.
How do you get a shirt that fits both your neck and the rest of your chest and sides? The answer, of course, is to get your shirts tailored.
This, however, raises the problem of price. Solve one problem and another arises! That's why A Suit That Fits sell tailored dress shirts at high street prices. Read More Muscular or larger-size guys: How well do your dress shirts fit?
Spread the word:
David Beckham is currently touring Asia to promote his latest business project: a fine whisky called The Haig Club. His most recent appearance was in Vietnam, where he stepped out in a navy suit, surrounded by huge numbers of onlookers and press.
Let's check out that suit.
Navy, again?
Someone once said that the secret to a good life is to become a "connoisseur of water." What they presumably meant by this is that enjoying the simple things in life is better than indulging in the finer things. If you become a connoisseur of water, wine will taste even better when you do taste it.
I like to apply this idea to the navy suit. In our search for something exciting – a new cloth, a new design, the season's latest colour – we can sometimes overlook the beauty of a standard, two button, navy suit. The dark blue colour is not always seen as the most exciting thing to wear. But the fact is, it's a tried and trusted classic – and few things look better on a man than a navy suit.
Successful men wear navy
Think about it. Prince William, Obama, David Beckham, David Cameron: all of these men are consistent wearers of the navy suit.
So what is it about navy, exactly, that attracts such powerful, successful men?
Well, it's a masculine, business-like colour, a powerful, deep tone of blue, it suits everyone, and it's one of the best colours to wear over a classic white dress shirt. Arguably, no colour combination is better than navy and white.
Beckham's suit
The suit Beckham wore in Vietnam was his typical navy affair: very slim fitting, two jacket buttons, flapped pockets, narrow lapels, and four buttons at the cuff.
Beckham paired the suit – for the win – with a white shirt, and his narrow collar featured a suitably skinny tie.
A Suit That Fits feature a large range of navy cloths. For a tailored, two button, navy suit like Beckham's – completely fitted to your measurements – you can expect to spend around £449.
Every month, A Suit That Fits brings you the latest trends in men's suiting, asking: "What should I be wearing now and in 3 months time?" Read More What to wear now and in 3 months' time

December is almost upon us and it's definitely time to make sure your snow removal arsenal is in place. There are three common ways that you can use to keep your driveaways and sidewalks clear, making it safer and easier to move around your front yard.
I am no stranger to shoveling snow; in college, the winter portion of my job on a landscaping crew consisted of scraping away the sidewalks (often quite early in the morning) so that students could arrive at class safely. I even did it barefoot once around my house so that I could say I did and horrify people like my Southern Californian family.
Use caution when you are using a snow shovel. This is strenuous exercise and can be quite harmful if you are out of shape or have certain health issues like coronary disease, as this Yahoo! Health article advises. They also warn that you should not shovel snow between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. to avoid the greatest risk of heart attacks and other problems. Don't try to be a hero by grabbing the biggest shovel possible and scooping up massive loads of snow; you will likely end up with pains and injuries that way.
You may also want to use a deicer
Our condo complex keeps buckets of deicing salts around every staircase. These can be placed on the stairs and sidewalks to help with snow removal and melting the ice that accumulates and creates a dangerous situation.
You do need to use caution when using these products. Over time, the salts can collect around your plants and burn them. They are also strong enough to damage anything that is made of concrete. There are some types of chemicals that do not contain salt and will be easier on your yard.
If you have a large yard and want to move snow quickly, get a snowblower. These machines are designed to blow away the snow as you push it along. They can be much quicker than a shovel or chemical. Since this is a machine being used in bad weather, use it carefully. Read the instruction manual to figure out where the dead man's switch is located to shut it down safely and quickly should something fail. Turn it off completely before you remove any obstructions. Make sure you perform yearly maintenance to keep it in working order.
What method(s) do you use for your snow removal?

Winter is almost here and for the most part, your garden is ready to go to sleep until the next growing season. If your lawn is still a bit bare, though, this is the time when you can do some late fall lawn seeding! This process is also known as dormant seeding.
Your goal at this time is not to get a new lawn growing. In fact, if the seeds did start to sprout, they would almost certainly be killed when winter's frosts hit. Instead, you are trying to get a jump start on next year's lawn by adding seeds now that will germinate when the time is right. Place them just before the time when the ground freezes for the season. This will hopefully allow them to lay dormant throughout the cold months and be ready to awaken when the temperatures rise in spring.
Do start by preparing the patches of ground where you want to place the seeds. Make sure that the seeds are able to reach the soil and start germination. Your bag of seeds will tell you how many pounds are needed for every 1000 square feet. Once you are done spreading the seeds, irrigate the area lightly. If it is too wet, though, the possibility of problems like rots increases.
If all goes well (a lot is up to Mother Nature in this case!), you will have an improved lawn once spring arrives and your landscape bursts back into life.
Have you done a late fall lawn seeding? How well did it turn out?

Winter can be pretty depressing sometimes for a plant lover like myself since so many of them have died or gone dormant and the landscape is blanketed with snow. Towards the end of the season, though, I get to witness lovely surprises like the first buds swelling on the trees and crocus leaves and flowers peeping up through the snow or bare ground. When you plant the crocus and other spring flowering bulbs in autumn, you are preparing the way for a beautiful color show in late winter and spring.
Common Spring Flowering Bulbs That Should Be Planted in Autumn:
Make sure that you give your bulbs a chance to get some roots forming during the fall before winter hits and everything slows down. Plant them before the ground becomes frozen.You will want to water them a little so that the plant can function, but not enough that the soil is very moist since this increases the chances that the bulb may rot before it can really get growing.
You should first inspect and test your potential planting site. Send a soil sample to a soil laboratory so you can check the nutrient levels present. This will tell you how much is currently present so you can buy the right kind of fertilizer. This should be worked into the ground so that the roots will be able to reach and use the nutrients. You will especially want to be aware of your phosphorus levels as this is necessary for the best possible flowers.
When you plant spring flowering bulbs, they should usually be placed in a hole that is either two or three times the length of the bulb. Check the package for planting instructions to be sure for your specific kind. Look at the bulb and place it so that the tip is upward and the roots positioned downward.

When we fertilize our lawns, we think of spring as the best time to perform this task. Fall does not seem like a likely time since the growing world is slowing down and plants are getting ready to go dormant. However, fertilizing your lawn in fall is actually one of the best things you can do to help your grass stay healthy.
During autumn, plants are busy trying to store up food to get through the cold temperatures of winter. Fertilizing your lawn in fall boosts their storage potential and makes it more likely that your grass will survive until spring. You want to perform this before it really gets too cold, however, so perform this task by November 30th each year.
As always, a good test to perform before you do any fertilizing is an assessment of the nutrient levels that are currently found in the soil. Adding too much is wasteful and can even potentially harm your plants. You can buy a simple test at your local garden center or nursery. For more detailed results, you can send off a sample to a testing laboratory like Cornell Nutrient Analysis Laboratory or your local cooperative extension service.
As Cornell University advises, you should use "1 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. (1 lb. N/1,000 ft.2). Use a fertilizer that is about 70 percent slow-release nitrogen" Once you have applied the nutrients, water your lawn so that the fertilizer can travel down into the soil.
As always, feel free to give us a call if you would like us to do your fall lawn fertilization this year.

As winter approaches, your garden may start to seem a bit dreary. One way that you can help beat these winter blahs is to pore over garden catalogs. You can do this electronically, but I prefer having an actual paper version to look at whenever I fancy.
If you order in fall, the latest and greatest edition will show up in the middle of winter. Companies are eager to show off their newest cultivars. These are cultivated varieties, which are the different kinds of plants found within a species that are not different enough to have their own species. Cultivated means that a company has nurtured and developed it. Honeycrisp is an apple cultivar, for example.
These garden catalogs can also help you work smarter with your landscaping company. You can cut out pictures and descriptions (do remember to include the names, especially the scientific species when possible) to help them know what you are looking to have done. Do keep in mind, though, that not every plant is suitable for your situation and you may have to pass on some species. Your professional landscaper should be able to help you know if your favorites will grow in your yard.
Here are three of my favorite garden catalogs:
Park Seed was my catalog of choice growing up, along with Burpee. I loved leafing through the pages and trying to see how far I could stretch my meager savings. These companies have been around for a long time and offer a wide variety of plants.
If you are thinking of planting a vegetable garden as part of your landscape, you simply MUST get the Baker Creek catalog. They offer heirloom varieties that you will usually not be able to get locally. The pictures are simply gorg!eous to boot

The growing season is winding down and you may wonder when to cut down your perennials for best success. These plants last more than one season and may have become untidy. For many, fall is a great time, with the caveat that you need to consider how it will affect the look of your garden overall.
The Basics of Cutting Down Perennials
These types of plants may be trimmed either in spring or in fall. Many people like to do it in fall as part of putting their garden to rest for the season. This can be beneficial for the plant if it has faced problems like leaf diseases or insect damage.
When you do decide to cut them down, leave about three inches of stem instead of cutting it down to the ground so that you do not damage the plant.
Don't Destroy Your Winter Interest
I grew up in Southern California where plants are perpetually growing and the landscape is always full of vibrant colors. As I discovered later when I moved to a colder region, things can get pretty dull during the winter when not much (if anything) is growing and your yard is covered in snow.
If you do decide to cut down your perennials in fall, you will have to wait until spring's new growth generates excitement in your garden. Many perennials can add winter interest to your garden with parts like colorful stems, foliage and fruits. The latter can also serve as food for wildlife and birds. Unless
As Cornell University mentions, perennials like "European ginger, bishop's hat, ferns, Lenten rose, ornamental grasses, and upright sedums (such as 'Autumn Joy')" should be cut back in the spring instead of the fall.
Do you cut down your perennials in the fall? Do you have any that provide winter interest?

Fall is a glorious time where the leaves change to magnificent hues of red, orange, brown and yellow. It also means that a lawn task awaits: raking leaves. Depending on the size of your yard and how many trees you have, this can seem like a daunting task. It doesn't have to be, though.
One trick I like to use to make leaf raking easier is to lay a tarp on the ground. You can rake leaves on top of it and easily drag it around to other spots in your lawn. Once you are done you can bag them up to be hauled away or used in your garden. The latter is nice because you have one less thing to toss in the trash.
Making Leaf Mulch
Did you know that one of the best mulches for your garden is free? Leaves are full of nutrients and can be reused to make a leaf mulch that will help your garden plants stay safe during the cooler times of the year and benefit from the organic matter as the leaves naturally decompose.
First, you want to try and help your leaves break down faster. An easy way to do this is to run over the leaves with your mower while they are still on the ground. This will chop them up into pieces. You can bag them up to save for later, use them to mulch some of your plants to protect them through the winter, or simply add them to a compost pile.
A note of caution: not every leaf is suitable for use as mulch. A prominent example is the black walnut tree. This species produces a substance called juglone that actively works to harm other plants around it. You certainly don't want something like that in your mulch or compost!
If you are ready for us to start raking leaves in your lawn, give us a call today. We would be happy to help.

When most of us think about planting new specimens in our gardens, spring comes to mind. However, many plants can be successfully planted during the fall too. In fact, there are several reasons why it can be a better idea to do your planting in the fall.
Place Your Trees and Shrubs Now
If you think about it, planting in the fall is wonderful for trees and shrubs. When you plant in the spring, they face the possibility of dealing with growing conditions that are hot and dry when they are still newly forming roots. If you are planting in the fall, the roots will still continue to grow even after the rest of the tree or shrub has gone dormant. This will allow them to create a strong root network that will give the plant a better chance of survival in harsh conditions.
Try to do your planting towards the start of fall. You do want to avoid planting bare root trees or shrubs at this time, however, as these have a harder time getting their roots going in time. Choose ones that come in containers or are in a ball and burlap. Some species like magnolias and birches are harder to establish in fall and should be planted in the spring.
You Can Do a Fall Vegetable Garden
There are two types of vegetables that you can plant: cool season and warm season. One of the benefits of the cool season type is that you can do two crops per year. The first is planted earlier in the spring and the second is timed to produce a fall crop before the hard frosts set in. Some of the vegetables like peas often do a little better even with a light frost. You can also extend the growing season even farther by using structures like cold frames, hoop houses and greenhouses.
Some cool season vegetables for fall include:
Plant Some Pansies!
I remember seeing pansies among the snow when I was in college. These joyous flowers will give you two flower shows if you plant them in fall. Deadhead them so the blooms are extended and mulch them when the ground freezes so they will have some protection from the freezing temperatures.
You Can Do Some Perennials Too
This is when you can plant many of your perennials like irises, hostas and peonies. You can also divide existing ones to create new plants.

Fall is a great time to do some color planning for your garden. You can look at other people's yards and see ideas for plants that are blooming and changing foliage color at this time. If you decide that you want to add some new trees and shrubs for fall interest next year, many can be planted successfully at this time; in fact, for many, this is the ideal time instead of spring. This is also the time to start considering what spring flowering bulbs you will want to plant soon, which we will cover in a subsequent post.
Three Types of Trees That Provide Fall Colors
Maples are likely the first trees that come to mind when we think of autumn foliage. The palm shaped leaves come in a wide assortment of shades like red, orange, yellow, purple and brown. Depending on the species you choose (some produce better than others), you can also tap them in late winter to make maple syrup.
Oak trees also put on a good show with their leaves in hues of red, yellow, brown and orange. The acorns can also be used to make fall decorations for your house.
Aspen trees have foliage that turns yellow in autumn. Since these are often found in higher elevations where evergreens live, the pop of color is especially lovely. This can work for your garden too as a focal point.
Three Types of Shrubs That Provide Fall Colors
Cotoneasters are sturdy shrubs that will brighten up your landscape with their scarlet foliage and fruit. Two to look for are the rockspray cotoneaster and the willowleaf cotoneaster.
An underused shrub is the redvein enkianthus, which provides several seasons of color. In the spring it produces gorgeous clusters of white flowers with pink veins. In fall, the foliage becomes orange, red or yellow.
Serviceberries have white flowers that turn into edible fruits. In autumn, the leaves will turn to orange and red.
What are your favorite ways to add color in the fall?

Cool Season Grasses
These species have adapted well to cooler temperatures and are the type primarily used in the northern half of the United States where there are freezing temperatures. They will green up sooner in the spring and grow later in the fall. However, they can struggle and go dormant during times of heat and drought. You can buy mixes that include several different types that balance out their strengths and weaknesses.
Warm Season Grasses
These species of grasses are great if you are trying to conserve water. They do stay brown longer in the spring and go dormant in the fall sooner than cool season grasses. However, they are well adapted to warmer temperatures and can tolerate droughts better. There are several different species that can be used in lawns, but since New York is in the northern US, cool season species are usually used. You may see some use zoysiagrass.
What types of grass seed do you usually use?

STILLWATER — Whenever Todd Monken has moved jobs along the coaching trail, he usually leaves each stop believing in that particular offensive system.
Oklahoma State football: Dana Holgorsen returns to Stillwater trying to stop his own unstoppable offense
At LSU, it was running the ball and play action. At Louisiana Tech, it was running the no-huddle.
But when Monken was hired to be Oklahoma State's offensive coordinator following the 2010 season, he wasn't bringing his own offense to Stillwater. Or the one run by his last employer, the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was going to continue on with the high-powered spread system that Dana Holgorsen had installed the previous season.
Sure, Monken has implemented his own tweaks in his two seasons at OSU. But the base philosophy is still the same as the Cowboys prepare to face Holgorsen's new team, West Virginia, Saturday afternoon at Boone Pickens Stadium.
Which means Holgorsen's next challenge as a head coach is to stop the offense he built to be unstoppable. And this season in particular has shown just how resilient the system can be.
The Cowboys lost two first-round draft picks in quarterback Brandon Weeden and receiver Justin Blackmon. They've had three quarterbacks take meaningful snaps because of injury, and playmakers at wide receiver have also been dinged up.
And yet, OSU has still rolled on that side of the ball, ranking second in the nation in total offense (575.88 yards per game) and eighth in scoring offense (42.5 points per game).
What worked with Weeden and Blackmon is working with Wes Lunt and Tracy Moore. Or J.W. Walsh and Josh Stewart. Or Clint Chelf and Charlie Moore.
Monken said he has always been intrigued by the Air Raid, throw-it-around system. But he was impressed that Holgorsen's version featured more of a running game, more play action, more motion before the snap and more diversity overall.

Lamb in Love: A Novel
Posted March 28, 2011
Unconventional Love Story
The quixotic suitor on the cover of this edition is a perfect intro to this unconventional love story. Why the cover was changed (see other copies available at B&N) I cannot fathom. As the story unfolds,the author slowly brings the quirky postmaster, Norris Lamb, to realize a romantic side he has never known before. And Vita, the object of his affection, is equally unconscious of her own desires, hidden by years of caring for the mentally handicapped son of a wealthy widower. Brown does a wonderful job of bringing the two together with her eloquent prose and understanding that the capacity for love remains, no matter ones' age or circumstances. A beautiful novel.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Fantastic novel; warm, intricate story

Posted February 2, 2001
The golden promise of Carrie Brown's debut novel, Rose's Garden (1998) is more than fulfilled with Lamb In Love, an affecting tale of two very ordinary people transformed by the power of love. Choosing Hursley, a small English village as her setting, Ms. Brown again writes with eloquent grace in spare, prismatic prose - an intriguing glint here, a revealing glimmer there as she artfully sketches the emotional terrain of her characters. Fifty-five year old Norris Lamb is the village postmaster, a position he undertakes with the utmost respect and solemnity, viewing the mails as 'a marvelous system of common trust,' keeping 'his postal scales highly polished,' and employing 'a new rubber stamp frequently so as to avoid smudges.' He is also a philatelist, the volunteer organist for St. Alphage,, and a self-described '...stick whom his neighbors consider a confirmed bachelor. Terrified of women, perhaps? Or maybe a queer? (So careful with his appearance, etc.)' But then, on the night of the 1969 American moon landing when Norris walked outside to get a closer look at the galaxy, he saw an even more remarkable sight - 41-year-old Vida Stephen dancing nearly naked in a garden. Norris had known her all his life, 'But he'd never seen her like that before. He'd never seen anything like that before.' And, quite suddenly, 'He is Norris Lamb in love. Lamb in love.' Vida lives at Southend House, a derelict mansion, where for twenty years she has served as nanny for Manford Perry, a retarded young man who is also mute. His mother dead and his architect father often gone, Manford is totally dependent upon Vida who is devoted to him. Never having had a holiday or ventured far beyond Hursley, the routine of Vida's life is relieved only by letters from her one living relative, Uncle Laurence, who lives on Corfu, a seemingly unbelievably beautiful locale of which she can only dream. Old enough now to be considered a spinster, Vida is viewed by fellow villagers with pity. 'But Norris knows - he believes he alone knows - what is there to be rescued and revived. He imagines that he sees what others, lacking the wondrous prism of his passion, cannot.' The question that torments him is how he will win her. Unable to declare himself in person, Norris enjoins fellow postmasters to help him - he pens love letters which are posted to Vida from foreign lands. He leaves bouquets of flowers on a bench that she frequents. Finally, he ventures beyond Hursley, to Winchester where he buys Vida a gift - a nightdress an intricately patterned robe of Oriental silk. Norris finds himself emboldened by love. Not allowing 'reason to interfere with the anticipation of adventure, even danger, that accompanies the matter of delivering his gift,' he sneaks into Southend House and artfully arranges the robed gown on her bed. At first puzzled then frightened by these unfamiliar attentions, Vida confides to Norris that she feels stalked. He is desolate, 'utterly undone.' Later thinking, 'Oh, you're a bungler, Norris Lamb. Nothing but a bungler. Go on, step aside. Give it up. She won't look twice at you!' But look twice she does, and in an unexpected way. With a warmly wise and uplifting denouement, Carrie Brown reminds us of love's transcendency and the unquenchable strength of hope. A writer with luminous gifts, not the least of which is a painterly attention to detail, Ms. Brown has imbued the heartwarming Lamb In Love with whimsy, passion, and noble spirit.Was this review helpful?

Philly representative Young Chris has no trouble getting female attention, but there's one chick who matters more than all the rest; as he puts it on this inaugural mixtape leak (presented in remixed form) "None of Dem is you." An unknown beatsmith contributes synth-driven production, and the late, great Biggie makes in the appearance in the form of a classic verse. For more, check out Chris' forthcoming L.I.F.E.

Guys, two fonts need identifying here!
One is an unknown sans serif. Found many that are close but not exact. http://www.publicide.com/sampledepartment/index.php?/themes/business-car...
Second is like a Helvetica, maybe a variation, again not found exact one! http://www.flickr.com/photos/themandatepress/2398586965/
Please help
The variation you see in the second sample could just be due the letterpress printing.
Very good point. Would you guess that's Helvetica?
I'd say yes.

Earlier this week we had a chance to talk with the publisher of the legendary Source Magazine who is about to make history with this weekends upcoming first annual Source 360 Weekend here in NYC. Normally these kind of festival/events are in held in California, Miami, Atlanta & Texas so it was a surprise to us that such a big event will take place at home in NYC. The Source 360 will combine everything that our favorite genre of music has helped to influence. There will be film , music , blogger & fashion panels and that's just to name a few. Unsigned artist will be featured in showcases and competitions with tons of industry heavyweights in attendance. The Brunch, Lectures , Digital & Radio Celebrations & Award ceremonies alone will have so many key people in attendance that this alone will be an investment in itself. Now they couldn't forget Beauty Expo's, Sneaker Summits & a Fashion Shows which will also show how big the influence of Hip-Hop culture has changed the face of our culture. Now all of this is already too much for me and the ordinary consumer to take in, but the Source had to take things further with a massive concert as well. Saturday night The Barclay's Center will see some of Hip-Hop's biggest heavyweights including a legendary Wu-Tang reunion, Lil Kim, Bone Thugs & Harmony, The Diplomats,Remy Ma & more. Brooklyn as you can see will the epicenter for all things this weekend with a host of venues partnering with the Source 360 including BAM ,LIU , Milk River, Roulette, The Barclay Center, MoCADA & more. I'm sorry but this is unheard of for our community and this is one weekend that i know i cant miss and we know you wouldn't to as well, so it only made sense that we had to speak with the man behind it all to see what made him come up with this huge event. Check out our interview below then head on over to get your passes for a weekend that will be legendary HERE.

Now although the sultry diva is returning to Broadway for the 3rd time ( Beauty & The Beast and AIDA ) this will be the soulful crooners first time. Check out our interview as they talk about preparing for their starring roles in the stage show which Toni surprisingly states that she more nervous about it more than ever.

We recently got a chance to talk with the inspirational powerhouse before his recent show in NYC. Check out our interview with Mali as he talks about his musical inspirations,upcoming album, bringing his music mainstream but not straying away from his Gospel/Inspirational roots and more. See why this man is one to watch after you listen to our interview , the proof is in the footage from last nights show below.
Yesterday we had the pleasure of attending a private listening session for Grammy Award winning superstar Ashanti long awaited album Braveheart. Myself along with 10 other journalist talked with the r&b diva while listening to the album in its entirety. Ashanti definitely put together a strong body of work with a few features helping her along the way including Jeremih, Rick Ross, French Montana & Beenie Man. This album shows so much growth in her artistry but what it really does it lets us in as she gets more personal on records than she ever has. You can tell that love, heartbreak and finding her strength is what set the tone for this album which makes it relatable to everyone especially the females. Some of our favorites are the standout tracks like BraveHeart, 3 Words, Count, Runaway, Nowhere, Love Games , Early In The Morning , Scar & First Real Love. This album is 8 years in the making and we definitely see why Ashanti chose to do it on her own this time around along with Eone Music. Check out footage from the listening exclusively from us as she opens up about going independent, getting personal on the record, touring, possible next singles & more below.

Restoration of rights workshop Tuesday in King George
A restoration of rights work shop for ex-offenders and their supporters is planned Tuesday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the King George Department of Social Services. The address is 10069 Kings Highway, King George.
According to the flyer from Virginia Organizing, the session will provide step-by-step information for ex-offenders interested in restoring their voting rights. There also will be a discussion on how to run a "ban the box" campaign for employment justice. The campaign started in 2004 and asks employers to choose the best candidate based on job skills and qualifications, not past convictions.
"Since one in four adults in the U.S. has a conviction history, the impact of this discrimination is widespread," according to ban theboxcampaign.org website.
For more information, contact email@example.com or call 434/249-4058.

Convertible Car Seat Makes Practical Investment
Filed under: Health & Safety: Babies
There is practical value to these seats, because you're investing in a car seat only once.
"It's one seat all the way," says Jennifer Stockburger, program manager for vehicle and child safety at Consumer Reports. "They can take a child anywhere from infancy almost up to elementary school, with higher weight harness versions going all the way to 65 pounds."
And there is an appealing safety element, as well: Convertible car seats can hold larger babies in the rear-facing position, extending the number of months the child will ride facing backwards.
"We see a whole trend of keeping babies rear-facing longer," Stockburger says. "It's safer, and a convertible seat lets you do that."
But, she points out, "over the years, there's the wear and tear. The expiration is about six years from date of manufacture, if you buy it new." And convertible car seats don't offer the option of a removable carrier, she adds.
"It's a one-piece deal," Stockburger says.
If the baby falls asleep in the car, you have to take the child out of the car seat -- perhaps waking him or her -- and transfer the child to a stroller or carry the child.
"That's the least appealing thing," Stockburger says, and "that's why most parents still opt for carrier version" when buying a car seat for a newborn.
Another point to consider: Although convertible car seats have adjustable straps and offer padded inserts to hold infants securely, Stockburger says carrier seats made specifically for infants do fit young babies better. That's especially crucial, she says, for lower birth weight babies who may leave the hospital weighing just five or six pounds.
For more info on the pros and cons of convertible car seats, check out this Consumer Reports video. And, because car seat regulations vary widely from state to state, check out the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's comprehensive listing for details.

We love sempervivums - used to have a long narrow raised brick bed of them alongside the front path of the Victorian terraced cottage where we used to live - they looked lovely with gravel around them. Now we have some in a terracotta pot on the terrace.
No artjak, don't think they'll go up the tree after adult birds, but they do eat eggs and nestlings. Where you are, I would imagine the main diet is amphibians.
Just come in from watering - had to give the new border in the front garden a real soaking with the hose as all the plants are recently planted - then I turned the hose on the clematis, honeysuckles and roses on the Shady Bank - it may be shady but in this heat they're drying out. I gave the veg beds a good soaking with the sprinkler last night so they're ok, but the raised beds all needed plenty of water again today.
They'll travel quite a way, and climb trees, to get to a bird's nest!
Think the younger ones eat slugs, but the bigger the snake, the bigger the prey - big ones will go for frogs, small mammals and birds - keep an eye on those baby robins!!!
I think you're going to get ours tomorrow Archie, and we're going to get your rain - but I hope not 'cos son is helping out here http://www.maverickfestival.co.uk/
He'll have been erecting teepees today and possibly doing some sound engineer stuff over the weekend - hope the weather stays good for him - he deserves some fun
Isn't it fantastic news!!!
Lucky you Artjak Very Lucky you
I know grass snakes have been seen around here but we've not seen one in our garden - yet.
When I had the smallholding we had grass snakes in the meadows and swimming in the ponds catching Gt Crested Newts.
Back lawn mowed - will do the edges when I've had another cold drink - 30.3C in the shade ..........

The Tao of Blake
Directed by Kathy Corley
Blake Travis was apparently always a happy, hopeful person. As one of Travis' artistic collaborators explains in Kathy Corley's just-finished documentary, The Tao of Blake, Travis was a "cheerful, jovial and buoyant personality" — and based on what we see in this 60-minute celebration of his life, that seems just about right. Growing up poor and black in a well-to-do white suburb, Travis recalls his childhood as idyllic. And while an integrated junior high school made Travis realize for the first time that his family was, in fact, poor, even as an adult he insists to Corley that "there was never any racial tension that I ever felt." Travis was one of only two African American students who agreed to be interviewed for 16 In Webster Groves, the landmark — and controversial — CBS documentary about his high school class. Corley includes footage from that film, but she spends more time on Travis' decades as a musician in St. Louis, which were cut short by a 2008 stroke that left him unable to remember lyrics, and finally his death, at age 60, in February. It's impossible to dislike Travis, but the film's shortcoming is that it's also hard to identify with so saintly a figure. Interestingly, a grown-up Travis is seen telling a college class that after 16 In Webster Groves, he was criticized as an Uncle Tom by his black classmates, a statement that doesn't square with his assertion that he felt no racial tension whatsoever at Webster Groves High School. More exploration of contradictions like that one might have helped bring the film's subject more fully to life.

Consumer Reports: iPhone 5 is "best iPhone yet"
If Siri on an iPhone 5 had feelings, it would probably be channeling Sally Field right now and shouting "I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!" Consumer Reports, the magazine that would not recommend the iPhone 4 just two short years ago, is now calling the iPhone 5 "among the best smart phones in our Ratings and the best iPhone yet."
Consumer Reports had previously given the iPhone 5 a thumbs-up, but was awaiting the result of full testing of the device. The magazine gushes over the larger display, the "thinner and lighter profile," 4G LTE, and even the new and improved Siri. Despite repeated complaints by iPhone 5 owners about the lens flare problem, Consumer Reports says that "excluding the phenomenal 41-megapixel camera we tested on the Nokia 808, the iPhone 5's 8-megapixel camera is the best we've seen on a smart phone."
Consumer Reports testers also found the turn-by-turn directions of the Maps app to be better than they initially reported, saying that "it generally provides clear guidance, including voice and on-screen directions." As many of us here at TUAW have noted, the testers "expect the Map app to improve in time."
Subscribers to the magazine can look at the full test results online.
