Bedroom tax prompts surge in applications for discretionary housing payments
Councils swamped with demand for welfare fund
More councils across Britain are reporting a surge in demand for an emergency hardship fund following the introduction of the bedroom tax.
Inside Housing last Thursday revealed eight local authorities have experienced a sharp jump in the number of applications from claimants for discretionary housing payments since 1 April.
Now 15 more councils have also revealed increased applications for DHPs (see box).
Glasgow Council has received 5,501 DHP applications in April, compared to 1,437 in the same period last year. Liverpool Council received 1,265 applications in April compared with 138 in a typical month, while Sheffield Council received around 1,400, compared with an average of just 100 per month throughout the 2012/13 financial year. Of these 1,400, Sheffield Council has made 600 awards totalling £140,000. A spokesperson said: 'Sheffield Council's DHP grant for 2013-14 is £995,802.
'We have estimated that Sheffield's social housing tenants will see a total shortfall in housing benefit as a result of the bedroom tax of more than £4.5 million in 2013.'
Twelve other local authorities also reported increases: Spelthorne, Oxford, Harlow, Amber Valley, Suffolk Coastal, Maldon, Wycombe, Welwyn and Hatfield, Telford and Wrekin, Craven, Eastbourne and Derbyshire Dales councils. These 12 English councils reported combined DHP applications of 1,070 in April this year, compared with 252 in the same period last year.
DHPs are intended as a short-term measure to help people who are finding it difficult to cover their living costs due to welfare reforms. The government expanded the DHP pot from £60 million last year to £150 million for 2013/14, with £25 million earmarked for disabled people hit by the bedroom tax who have had their homes significantly adapted. Under the bedroom tax, social housing tenants of working age deemed to have spare rooms have their benefit cut.
Councils to report increased DHP applications since the introduction of the bedroom tax:
- Amber Valley
- Birmingham
- Craven
- Derbyshire Dales
- Eastbourne
- Glasgow
- Harlow
- Hull
- Leeds
- Leicester
- Liverpool
- Maldon
- Oxford
- Sefton
- Sheffield
- Southampton
- Southwark
- Spelthorne
- Suffolk Coastal
- Telford & Wrekin
- Waltham Forest
- Welwyn & Hatfield

Are there figures to indicate how many of these applications are spurious, ie the applicant is found to have more than enough money so refused, and how many applications are reasonable, ie the applicant is shown to be short of funds? I know that many DHP applications are refused not through lack of DHP funds but because the claimant either shows unreasonable expenditure or can even show that they have money spare for the rent but have applied because they might get something for nothing...Mr Bone should move into the "real world" faced daily by DHP claimants and their advisers. My home council North Tyneside had only enough money in 2011/12 for 107 "grants" - there are 16,000 tenancies. Typical of claims made with my help has been 40 years woman, diabetic with both legs amputated, home adapted to help her live as normal a life as possible but faced with a £25 bedroom tax - she "won". Another was a 55 year old unemployed single man on £67 JSA weekly asked to pay £20 in "bedroom tax" and council tax. Spurious ?
Bill Lawrence Newcastle Trades Union Council Centre against Unemployment.
16,000 tenancies effected by the 'bedroom tax'? or 16,000 council tenancies or 16,000 tenancies for the whole area as I'm sure you know that DHP is available for private tenants as well who have been assessed on the number of bedrooms they need since the beginning of LHA when it was brought in under Labour.
Do you propose the removal of the bedroom element of LHA as well Bill?Mr Bone should move into the "real world" - never a truer word said !
Central Government seems happy to dump additional costs on Local Government in order to adjust their balance sheet which means that the gain to the nation is questionable particularly when you consider the increased medical costs caused by anxiety. Claimants would be well advised to check that they are claiming all benefits to which they are entitled by visiting the CAB and possibly they might find they are able to offset the effects of the Bedroom Tax. Good luck to all the claimants.
But if Melvin moved into the real world there would be so much less to discuss Don - we need those who are so blinkered and wrong to help us understand how enlightened and correct we are, as I know Melvin agrees for he has alluded to such in our many previous exchanges.
Facts are though that this policy of aggrivated poverty, and restoration of Poor Law principles was always going to have these sorts of effects on the individuals concerned. The next stage will be the attempts of local communities to assist before the cost to those local communities becomes such a burden that the whole welfare philosophy of deserving and undeserving poor will peak with the realisation of the unsustainability of local poor relief. The restoration of national relief of poverty will be the logical way to clear up the mess, but currently there are no socially minded political parties in power, or likely to be in power to make such happen. The risk then is that either an extremist faction is given popular support on the back of such a threat to parliamentary democracy, or the people will move to take power themselves (and this in historical preceedent has always led to the imposition of an extremist faction!)
The future may then be Orange, but definately far from bright.
In that case, moving to Planet Bone may be the most preferrable option.The real question which IH should investigate is whether each of the councils have put their own funding into the overall DHP pot.
The government allow (and expect?) each LA to put in £5 for every £2 they have received from them in DHPs and indeed government limit this added amount to 2.5 times the amount they have given.
Melvin - North Tyneside has 2202 affected by the bedroom tax according to official figures. So:
(a) As they have been given the money for 107 then this is enough for 5%
(b) the total DHPs are not just for bedroom tax and include a higher figure for benefit cap and also for other cases.
(c) Extrapolated only about 16% of the DHP budget has been set aside for bedroom tax cases
I covered this is a blog last month and an extract is:
The detail of this can be found in the HB circular S1 of 2013 issued in January 2013. Paragraphs 2 and 3 provide the detailed breakdown although please note that £5m has been reduced from the bedroom tax amount after the changes to foster carers etc in March 2013. This also reduces the claimed overall saving figure above from £480m to £475m. This now reveals a total DHP figure of £150m for 2013/14 of which:
£60m or 40% is for private tenants shortfall in Local Housing Allowance (LHA)
£65m or 43% is for private and social tenant shortfalls from the overall benefit cap (56% are private tenants and 44% social), leaving
£25m or 17% for social tenant shortfalls from the bedroom tax.
The rest of the detail I post here http://speye.wordpress.com/2013/04/14/so-much-shte-is-talked-about-the-bedroom-tax/
It is highly erroneous to start from a position that the DHP budget is just for bedroom tax cases and the fact remains that 15 out of every 16 who apply will not get a DHP.Ah, and the playground bullies are out in force once again!
'It is highly erroneous to start from a position that the DHP budget is just for bedroom tax cases and the fact remains that 15 out of every 16 who apply will not get a DHP.'
Many becuase they have plenty of income or excessive expenses...
Joe. I'm not interested in your blog.
Chris. I enjoy it when you extol the virtue of a policy that you know would cure all the countries ills but it seems odd that are never put into place. I wonder why that could be. But then you do believe in a lot of things that are fictional.
#inshalllah"Mr Bone should move into the "real world" - never a truer word said !"
Why on earth would Mr Bone or any of the Tory Cabinet be interested in the least by the real world? Dream on :)

During the course of your research, you have surely learned more about the family, including additional relatives and more event dates. You have also begun to narrow down the possible places where the family may have originated. These places allow still other approaches to your immigrant origins research.
Perhaps previous assignments have lead to an area where the surname seems to be more common. Once the geographic region of an ancestral surname is identified, then the networking concepts below will work. If you have not determined a locality, try a study of the surname.
Surname Study
Sometimes a linguistic analysis of the surname may suggest regions where the name may have originated. For example, certain suffixes may indicate a likely region for a surname.

Hull City have signed Leicester City striker Martyn Waghorn on loan until January.
The former Sunderland player moved to the Tigers before the summer transfer deadline at 11pm on Wednesday.
Leicester's signing of Jermaine Beckford is a probable factor behind the move and Hull have benefited.
A statement on their official website read: "The Tigers have completed the loan signing of Leicester City striker Martyn Waghorn.
"The 21-year-old joins the club on a temporary basis until January 2012."

Comments about Luxurious Fur Jacket:
I bought 2 of these beautiful jackets last winter. One in white and the other in gray. I get so many compliments on both. one being, that I always look so nice (people should only know that they cost $30.00....then they insist it's real fur!) I really want to buy the blonde and brown jackets, but I have no closet space, so I am trying to figure where I can hang 2 more jackets. I have washed them and they come out perfectly.

Expensive looking without the price
By Blondiegirl
from Southern California
I have the brown one and I absolutely love it! I love it so much I'm returning to purchase the grey one! It feels and looks like real fur but without the guilt! I get asked if it's real too. Get the expensive look without the price. It's made of Acrylic/polyester and is machine washable which makes it easy to care for. Love it!

Even Republicans are Angry Rick Scott Declined High-Speed Rail Funds
Even some Elephants prefer to travel by train. |
Scott's decision appears to be steeped in Tea Party ideology. The decision came just weeks after he met with two seemingly random Tea Party "leaders" from Tampa who urged him to kill the plan, and the studies he cited in his decision come from a study conducted by a Libertarian think tank. Scott says he's worried that the state Government may be saddled with paying for overrun and maintenance costs associated with the project.
Though, even his fellow Republicans seem puzzled over the logic and ultimate decision made by the political neophyte.
Rep. John Mica, a Florida Republican who chairs the U.S. House's Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, says that Scott's decision "defies logic."
Jeb Bush, perhaps still the most influential Republican in the state, is even having a hard time understanding Scott's decision telling PolitiJax, "I'm surprised he didn't let the process go to a conclusion...before pulling the plug."
And today a bipartisan group of 26 state senators (or nearly two thirds of the Republican-controlled body) signed a letter rebuking Scott's decision.
"Politics should have no place in the future of Florida's transportation, as evidenced by this letter of bipartisan support," the legislators wrote. "This project would create real jobs, cleaner and smarter transportation, and true economic development for Floridians."
The letter was signed by 14 Republican Senators including Miguel Diaz de la Portilla and Rene Garcia of Miami-Dade.

Recently I acquired two holsters, the first being an old Bianchi 3S and the other an Alessi IWB that came with the first.
The boning on the two holsters reminds me that perhaps some have never known how to do hand-boning properly; that is, "full featured" hand boning, including both sides of the holster.
Here's the Bianchi as I received it.
The boning is pretty ordinary, and shows how far the Bianchi company has drifted from its quality principles since my day (I know this example is after my time, because the patented hardware has received a production update). Because the strap didn't reach, and stretching the strap wasn't the complete answer, I remoulded the entire holster:
bianchi 3 (1).jpg
And refinished it:
bianchi 3 (3).jpg
Surprisingly the premium-brand Alessi had also received only a lick and a promise for boning from its maker:
alessi (1).jpg
(I do have the incorrect dummy in it, as the holster is marked for the 4506). The Alessi is rag-like, unlike the Bianchi, because of (1) the leather selection and, you'll be surprised (2) the moulding method.
That's because the BEST methodology to be used for your holster -- the one that will give you a rigid holster to start with, and leave you with one decades later -- has (1) been press moulded (2) full-featured hand boned and (3) force-hot-air dried (not an oven per se).
This method hardens/stiffens the leather. The pressure from the press stiffens the fibres,
1976 ST (9).jpg
the hot air "freezes" them into place.

Bait Shops
White flag = shrimp.
Yellow flag= usually means croaker, but could also mean the shop has piggy perch.
Green flag= finger mullet
Blue flag= Piggy perch
No flags- dead shrimp or frozen bait.
Keep in mind, that there is not an official universal flag system. This tradition dates back many years and just like each bait shop has it's own personality don't be surprised if you find few different interpretations of what each flag represents along the way.
Choosing the right bait...
White Shrimp - Generally available at bait shops from August through November. Excellent for trout, redfish, black drum, gray snapper and flounder. Down side - during warmer months live shrimp also attract hardheads, perch and a variety of other bait stealers.
Croaker - Available May into September, when bait trawlers are allowed to take 1,500 croaker each day. Excellent live bait for trout, redfish and flounder. Down side - expensive and difficult to keep alive.
Pink shrimp or hoppers - Usually are available in spring. Keep a lid on these, otherwise they'll jump out of the bucket. Excellent for trout, redfish, black drum, gray snapper and flounder. Down side - during warmer months live shrimp also attract hardheads, perch and a variety of other bait stealers.
Brown Shrimp - Availability usually peaks during May into July. Bait quality equal to other shrimp.
Piggy Perch - Available July through late October. Bait quality about the same as croaker and sometimes a little cheaper. Generally not considered a good surf-fishing bait.
Pin Perch - Generally available spring, summer and fall. Good redfish bait, live or cut. A favorite of sail-liners.
Finger Mullet - Generally available spring, summer and fall. Excellent redfish bait, live or cut. Smaller ones make good live bait for trout and flounder. Illegal to possess mullet 12 inch or larger from October 1 through January.
Mud Minnows - Available year round but more likely to find in spring summer and fall. Good live bait for flounder and larger mangrove snapper.
Mantis shrimp (aka sea lice) - Limited availability at bait shops January through March. Excellent bait for big black drum and redfish, dead or alive.

Sunlake at Springstead, 7:30 p.m.
So far this season, so much has gone right for Springstead.
Through three games, the Eagles are a perfect 3-0. They've won in blowouts, and last week in a 28-21 victory at Anclote they showed they could win ugly on the road.
All that good feeling could fall by the wayside, however, if Springstead can't continue its early run of success when it hosts Sunlake at Booster Stadium.
This week marks the first district action for all local teams, and the Seahawks are the defending Class 6A, District 6 runners-up.
"It's definitely a 0-0 approach," Springstead head coach Bill Vonada said. "None of those previous games, as nice as they were and as fun as were, mean anything at all.
"Coach (Bill) Browning, we know having that extra week to prepare is going to be ready. Sunlake is one of the quality and premiere programs in Pasco County now. We're going to have to play a lot better than last week in order to compete with them."
Browning, of course, was once the Eagle headman, with Vonada on his staff. His 49 wins at Springstead ranks second to Vonada's 73 on the school's all-time list.
Now Browning has built Sunlake into an area force. The Seahawks enter 2-0, having defeated Hudson and Wiregrass Ranch before last week's bye.
That they only narrowly beat the winless Bulls, 17-12, raised some eyebrows. Wiregrass Ranch's other losses were 30-6 to Wesley Chapel and 61-0 to Pasco.
Senior Eddie Burgos has carried the offensive load thus far, rushing 29 times for 344 yards and four touchdowns. He also has six catches for 80 yards and a score.
The Eagles can respond with sophomore Daniel Wright and his uncanny knack for finding end zone. He has run for two touchdowns in each game this season.
Quarterback Tyler Mahla has generally played well, completing 22-of-36 passes for 336 yards, with four touchdowns against three interceptions.
Running the triple option, he has 28 rushes for 172 yards and two scores.
Then there is the defense, which finally permitted a point last week, yet continued to produce game-changing turnovers and stops.
"There were a few things that we need to clean up from last week, but we did know that Anclote was going to be a bit tougher challenge," Vonada said.
"Really you can't take anything away from Anclote. They've got some good players. We felt they have a strong defense and had a couple of athletes who could make some plays. Certainly they showed that during the course of the game.
"The thing I'm proudest of with our guys was the way they battled back. Seemed like every time we'd let them make a play or we would make a mistake, one unit or another would bounce back with a big play."
Still, there remains a hint of uncertainty about where both of these teams stand in the district hierarchy. Tonight could go a long way toward determining postseason fates.
"We feel like this will be our toughest challenge yet," Vonada said. "It's going to be 11 good guys on both sides of the ball. We're going to play the best game we can and see what happens."
This game will be carried live on WWJB 1450 AM and streamed live at wwjb.com, beginning with the pregame show at 7 p.m.
Central at Nature Coast, 7:30 p.m.
A once fierce county rivalry between Central and Nature Coast may have tempered some in recent years, as both programs have fall on tougher times.
But that doesn't mean when the Bears and Sharks meet at Shark Tank Stadium tonight, that the matchup has lost all meaning; certainly not with the 6A-6 implications.
"It's the opening of our county season and the opening of our district season," Nature Coast head coach Charles Liggett said. "So two things are at play here.
"We can go 1-0 in the county, 1-0 in the district, 2-2 on the year and get feeling that we'll be back on track."
The Sharks (1-2) can feel better about themselves following a 17-8 win last Friday at Dunnellon.
Matt Breida ran 34 times for 177 yards and a touchdown, but Liggett pointed to a different aspect of the offense.
"We threw more," Liggett said. "We made a conscience effort. We've got to put the ball in the air. We worked on breaking our stuff down and worked off that. I think that helped.
"No big changes, but subtle differences made a big difference."
Junior Ryan Quigley, reclaiming the starting quarterback job he had in Week 1, went 5-of-8 passing for 54 yards and a touchdown, and will remain under center.
Still, it's no secret that Breida remains the backbone of the Nature Coast offense. When he faced Central in 2011, he posted 355 yards and six touchdowns in a 52-0 win.
"I think Matt has the potential of having another big game," Liggett said. "With that in mind, we still have a developing passing game and we need to work on that."
On the other side, the Bears (1-2) will try to avoid a repeat performance by Breida.
"We've got to do everything we can," Central head coach Mike Einspahr said. "I don't think you can ever stop him. He's a very good athlete, a very good football player. We've just got to do whatever we have to do to contain him. We'll see what we come up with."
There have been rays of hope for the Bears thus far, especially since an opening loss to first-year Weeki Wachee,
They couldn't follow up a victory over Wildwood with another against Lecanto, falling last week 26-13, but they are starting to compete.
"We talked to the kids, sured up a lot of things we talked about," Einspahr said. "We've minimized turnovers. We've done a lot better job with that part of things.
"We need to do a better job of being technique football players, and when we have opportunities, we have to capitalize."
Sophomore quarterback Cody Brooks has been cleared to return from the concussion that knocked him out most of the last two games, yet Einspahr hasn't decided on a starter between Brooks and junior Cole Teater.
Both figure to take some snaps, and will be tasked with trying to keep Breida and the Nature Coast offense off the field.
"I think we'll have a good game if we control the ball, take care of the things we can take care of, and give ourselves a chance to be successful," Einspahr said. "Hang in there and at the end of the game hopefully give ourselves a chance to win."
Conversely, the Sharks don't want to give the Bears that chance, especially by continuing their trend of turning over the ball.
"If we play like we did against Dunnellon, with the same focus and intensity, I think we can play with anybody on our schedule," Liggett said. "But I'm not overlooking anybody."
Land O' Lakes at Hernando, 7:30 p.m.
Few if any would have projected that Hernando would sit 0-3, as it embarks on its defense of its 6A-6 title.
The Leopards face that reality, however, taking on traditionally tough Land O' Lakes at Tom Fisher Memorial Stadium.
However, a 38-6 loss to red-shot South Sumter a week ago that was more competitive than the final score indicates has produced reasons for optimism.
"We did lose, but we showed a lot of effort," Hernando head coach Dwayne Mobley said. "We played hard, so that's a good thing.
"If we were going into the district after we played East Ridge or South Lake, I'd be worried a little bit. But the guys actually looked pretty good in the game."
That more consistent effort throughout the contest was missing when the Leopards blew leads in their first two defeats.
But the performance was far from perfect. Mobley admitted his team must take better care of the ball, and his offensive line "needs to block to the whistle."
He even conceded that the Leopards must throw the ball more, while opening up better running holes.
The good news for Hernando, Mobley indicated that linebacker O'Mar Hawkins and lineman Kyle LoParco are practicing this week after missing the South Sumter game with an injured ankle and the flu respectively.
Even better news for the Purple and Gold, they can erase this dreadful start much as they did their 1-2 beginning to 2011, by pulling things together in 6A-6 action.
"I told the guys, 'Hey, it starts now. What we did before now doesn't matter. It's what we do now.'
"If we go to the district and lose, it doesn't do us any good to win those (first) four games," Mobley said, including the preseason.
In the preseason, Hernando earned a 21-7 victory over Pasco. Two weeks ago, Land O' Lakes (1-1) stumbled versus the Pirates, 49-7.
The Gators ended a 14-year streak of reaching the playoffs last year, so they are perhaps more vulnerable than in recent history.
Still, Land O' Lakes should provide a decent test to see how much progress Hernando has made, as the season's critical stretch gets under way.
"It's very important," Mobley said. "Especially where we're coming from. It's very important to come out there and have a good district game and play like we're capable of playing for four quarters."
Weeki Wachee at Umatilla, 7:30 p.m.
In yet another first for Week Wachee (1-1), the Hornets are ready for their inaugural district action.
They'll make the first of three road trips of at least two hours, traveling to Umatilla for a Class 4A, District 4 meeting.
"I'm telling these kids, 'Now these games count,'" Weeki Wachee head coach Mark Lee said. "One, they get you in the postseason, and right now I told the kids it's a great chance to start the season right. The first two games were like preseason for us."
The Hornets, coming off a Week 3 bye, have had a respectable showing thus far, with a 33-14 win over Central and 24-7 loss to Lecanto.
"The bye week happened at a great time for us. We had some players banged up," Lee said. "We just got back to a lot of basics and fundamentals, and going over weak areas that Lecanto exposed.
"We were frustrated with our offensive performance. We were pretty bad offensively. We barely had 50 yards of total offense and made a lot of key mistakes. We got to play better and we got to execute."
The week off did allow middle linebacker Jacey Tarter to shake off the ankle ailment that kept him out of the Lecanto game.
Running back Jon King played with a bum shoulder against the Panthers, and Lee said that has healed up.
Umatilla comes in 3-0, having beaten its previous opponents by a combined 96-13.
"The kids seem pretty excited about the challenge," Lee said.
"Teams aren't going to roll over. A lot of teams are probably excited about playing us, being our first year. They're thinking they've got 'W.' It's our job to prove them wrong and surprise them."

The Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Teachers Network (GLSTN) announced its choice of Salt Lake City, Utah as the site for its first-ever national conference, to be held March 21-23, 1997. Hosted by GLSTN Utah, the conference will bring together hundreds of teachers, parents, community activists, and students working to create schools were all people are respected, regardless of sexual orientation.
The issue of anti-gay bigotry in schools has been a hot one in Utah this year. In January 1996, students and teachers at Salt Lake City's East High School formed a Gay-Straight Student Alliance, an act which prompted the Utah legislature to ban all student clubs in April 1996 in an effort to prevent the East High GSA from meeting. In response, teachers, parents, students, and community members banded together to form GLSTN Utah, one of the GLSTN's most active chapters, which led the national organization to choose Utah as the site for its first-ever national conference.
"We've chosen the theme 'Stand and Deliver' for the conference," said Kevin Jennings, GLSTN's Executive Director and a former high school history teacher, "because we need to stand and deliver a message of tolerance and justice in Utah. We need to let the folks who are fighting for equal educational opportunity there know that they are not alone." Doug Wortham, Co-Chair of GLSTN Utah, added "We couldn't be more proud to be the hosts of this historic event. The legislature obviously thought they would silence us with their actions last spring, but they've done just the opposite -- they've brought us support we never dreamed we had from both Utah and beyond." Wortham added, "To borrow the motto of the 2002 Winter Olympics, which are to be held here, 'Utah Welcomes the World' to the GLSTN National Conference!"
The Conference will be preceded by special one-day institutes on Friday, March 21 for "Straight Allies," GLSTN Chapter Leaders, People of Color, and LGBT Educators, as well as a "Change Agent" Training. That evening, Kelli Peterson, founder of the East High GSA, and Clayton Vetter, Utah's first openly gay pubic school teacher, will welcome participants at a free reception. The formal conference will begin on Saturday, March 22 with a keynote by Urvashi Vaid, former Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and author of VIRTUAL EQUALITY, followed by workshops that day and on Sunday, March 23. The conference will close with a Brunch Celebration with comic Suzanne Westenhoefer, at which GLSTN will present its 1996-97 Pathfinder Awards for leadership in the fight to end bigotry in our schools. Registration forms are available by calling 212-727-0135. "Looking over this program, there will obviously be something for everybody!" addedJennings
In a related announcement, GLSTN called for proposals for presentations at the conference as well as nominations for the Pathfinder Awards in the following categories: Student, Educator, Parent, Community Activists, and Organization.

Matala filter media is expensive, but definitely worth it for some applications! Made of rigid fiber compounds, it is used in many applications in the aquaculture and koi pond markets. It is excellent for removing solid wastes and, unlike other filter padding, totally resists compression!
The solid fibers are very resistant to sludge build-up and clogging, making cleaning easy. It also features a lot of surface area, so it is very good for biological filtration.
Great for low-pressure, gravity-fed filters and skimmers, Matala filter media is positively buoyant and may require anchoring in submersed applications. Matala filter media is sold in 39 1/2" L x 24" W x 1 1/2" H sheets only. Ships Oversize.

This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in the German Wikipedia. (February 2013) Click [show] on the right to read important instructions before translating.
Male dogs, as well as wolves,[1][2][3][4] have a bulbus glandis at the base of their penises. The penis sometimes emerges from the fur-covered sheath during sexual arousal.[5][6] During coitus the bulbus glandis swells up and results in a 'tie' (the male and female dogs being tied together). Muscles in the vagina of the female assist the retention by contracting.[citation needed] Male dogs have a conspicuous penis sheath.[7] Male dogs also use their penises to direct urine when marking their territories.[8]
At the time of penetration, the canine penis is not erect, and can only penetrate the female because it includes a narrow bone called the "baculum", a feature of most placental mammals. When the male achieves penetration, he will usually hold the female tighter and thrust deeply. It is during this time that the male's penis expands and it is important that the bulbus gland is sufficiently far enough inside for the female to be able to trap it. Unlike human sexual intercourse, where the male penis commonly becomes erect before entering the female, canine copulation involves the male first penetrating the female, after which swelling of the penis to erection occurs, which usually happens rapidly.[9]
Male canines are the only animals that have a locking bulbus glandis or "bulb", a spherical area of erectile tissue at the base of the penis. During copulation, and only after the male's penis is fully inside the female's vagina, the bulbus glandis becomes engorged with blood.[10] When the female's vagina subsequently contracts, the penis becomes locked inside the female.[11] This is known as "tying" or "knotting". While characteristic of mating in most canids, the copulatory tie has been reported to be absent[12] or very brief (less than one minute)[13] in the African Wild Dog, possibly due to the abundance of large predators in its environment.[14]

Sanford, NC -- Lee County sheriff's deputies say a Sanford man shot and killed himself while showing friends the safety of his new gun.
Deputies say the death of 23-year-old Randall Trent Butler was an accident.
Capt. Jeff Johnson says there is nothing to indicate foul play.
Johnson says some friends were in Butler's girlfriend's home when he showed them the safety features of his .22-caliber pistol.
The captain says Butler showed them the safety and how the gun would not fire. Johnson says after Butler pulled the trigger and it didn't fire, he showed them the slide action, put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger again.
Johnson says Butler apparently failed to re-engage the safety.
How sad. Simple gun safety would have prevented this death. I'm 23, and would never do this, so please don't chalk it up to his age. His friends and family will be in my prayers.

Have You Tried: Anchovies?
by Toby Amidor in Have You Tried, June 18, 2012Love 'em or hate 'em, there's no denying that anchovies are chock full of nutritional goodness. Now is the perfect time to give these small fish a first or second chance.
What Are Anchovies?
These small, silvery fish are members of the herring family. They are about 1 to 4 inches in length and have been eaten around the world for thousands of years. These fish taste pretty fishy and salty—which can make them overwhelming if you don't know how to balance their flavor. Anchovies also have a fifth taste, called umami, a savory taste found in foods high in the amino acid glutamate.
Anchovies are typically filleted, salt-cured and canned in oil. They can be found in the canned tuna and salmon section at your grocery store. Canned anchovies can be stored for up to 1 year in a cool, dry place. Once opened, store in the refrigerator in a sealed container covered with oil for up to 2 months. To decrease its saltiness, soak in cool water for about 20-30 minutes, drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
Healthy Attributes
Five anchovies canned in oil and drained have only 42 calories, 6 grams of protein, 2 grams of fat and 17 milligrams of cholesterol — that's 6% of your daily recommended dose. They contain 20% of your daily recommended amount of niacin and 19% of selenium. They also have calcium, iron and phosphorus. Much of the fat found in anchovies comes from unsaturated fat, including omega-3's.
5 Ways to Love Anchovies
- Paired with radishes and a touch of butter in a tea sandwich
- In a dressing, like in this Escarole Salad (Note: Fat is slightly above HealthyEats guidelines and is primarily the healthy unsaturated kind)
- As anchovy paste in Pasta Puttanesca
- Combined with avocados in a dip
- As a pizza topping

Fantastic Song-and-Dance Home Depot Marriage Proposal Will Make Your Day
The most romantic marriage proposal took place in the most unromantic place you can imagine.
The most romantic marriage proposal took place in the most unromantic place you can imagine.
Granted, this video is not as elaborate as most of the proposals we feature on here. There was no puppet movie, no homemade video game. There was just an awesome surprise.
We have all seen our share of wedding proposals go terribly wrong, but this one from Laguna beach may be the best!! Watch what happens when one man gets down on his knee to ask for his girlfriend's hand in marriage.
When YouTube user Eddie Zarick wanted to propose to his girlfriend, as an electronics geek and 'Iron Man' nerd, he wanted to make it an extra-special occasion. His girlfriend had always been very supportive of his work with electronics and she is also a huge fan of 'Iron Man.' Thus, Eddie's nickname of "Tony Stark" was born.
Since it's Valentine's Day, and the air is filled with love, here's a few videos for those who were so blinded by love that it backfired. Public marriage proposals: The worst or THE WORST? If you're a girlfriend and you're afraid your man is so clueless that he'd arrange for one of these trashy public sports proposals, have him watch these rejections and maybe he'll get the message.

I love reading about Military Working Dogs and their handlers. Of course, having an Army Vet Tech as a daughter who married a dog handler might have something to do with it. Though, once you see these special four-footed Soldiers in action, it's hard not to want to keep up with them.
So, let me introduce you to a few more:
Tech. Sgt. Matthew Mosher stands with Zix, his military working dog March 1, 2012, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. Military working dogs spend hours interacting with their trainers to familiarize canines with common tasks. Mosher is a military working dog handler assigned to the 354th Security Forces Squadron.
Play a little, learn a lot: MWDs, handlers learn to trust
Story by Airman 1st Class Yash Rojas
EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska – Few bonds compare to the one that exists between a man and a canine, and the success of military working dogs and their handlers often depends on that bond.
Military working dog handlers appreciate the importance of building a partnership with their assigned dog, knowing the sooner trust exists between the two, the more effective the team.
It is a relationship the 354th Security Forces Squadron military working dog section works tirelessly to build.
Trust may be the single most important concept in dog handling, said Staff Sgt. Nicholas Drake, 354th Security Forces military working dog trainer.
Injured Marine to be reunited with combat dog
An injured Marine and Purple Heart recipient has won a campaign to adopt the wounded combat dog she partnered with in Iraq.
The U.S. Air Force has agreed to release the dog, Sgt. Rex, into the care of former Cpl. Megan Leavey, 28, so that the two can live a civilian life together, MyFoxNY.com reports.
Leavey and Sgt. Rex were injured in 2006 while disarming an explosive IED. After Leavey was discharged in December 2007, she asked to gain custody of the 10-year-old brown German Shepherd that she calls her partner.
Leavey's first attempt at adopting Sgt. Rex was denied, and he was returned to service after recovering from his injury.
Old Air Force dog taking new friend with him into retirement
YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan — Col. Otto Feather retired Friday with another old dog from the Air Force — a 10-year-old Belgian Malinois named Elra.
Decommissioned as a military working dog last year, Elra recently was adopted by the outgoing 374th Airlift Wing commander.
"She just seemed like an old pal from way back," said Feather, who met the dog during a K-9 demonstration at Yokota in October. "We just hit it off."
Like every working dog retired by the military, Elra was classified as "excess equipment" before she was adopted.
A bipartisan bill introduced in Congress last month seeks to provide veterinary care for canine retirees.
"These dogs are friends, compatriots, comrades in arms, and they really deserve better," Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told Politico earlier this month. He and Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., are sponsoring the bill.
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Kenneth Holt, 27th Special Operations Security Forces Squadron military working dog handler, practices suspect take-down bite drills with K-9 unit Ben K326 at an obstacle course for MWDs at Cannon Air Force Base, N.M., March 15, 2012. All K-9 units assigned to Cannon are dual purpose patrol and detections canines responsible for protecting base personnel and resources. (Photo by Airman 1st Class Alexxis Pons Abascal)
Also ~ I recently discovered a terrifically wonderful blog by a dog handler who is in the process of writing a novel about MWDs. Go over and check it out! (I'm pleased to say that that the heroine in the story is a Vet Tech. *smile*)
(Kevin has) "twenty years of Army service, his experiences as a company commander in Iraq and his experience as the Deputy Provost Marshal for U.S. forces in Afghanistan. While in Afghanistan, Hanrahan was instrumental in spearheading the surge of dogs into Afghanistan and lobbied the Army to adopt an innovative and life saving explosive detecting dog program.
He has served three combat tours and was awarded two Bronze Stars and an Army Commendation Medal for Valor. He currently resides in Poquoson, Va with his expecting wife Megan and their two dogs, Sammy and Stella."
I'm so looking forward to reading his book, Paws On The Ground.
(Keep at it, Kevin!)

You are a winner!
September 21, 2012
An insufferable Indiana University football fan, you have surprisingly won a $400 wager with your chemical supplier.
You both agreed in advance, however, that the winner would invest the monies into promoting your wash.
How would you use that $400 to market your wash?
- I would do a direct mail ad;
- I would get 5,000 flyers printed, and then put the remaining $300 into a Christmas party fund for my employees and attendants;
- I would sign up and complete a four-month marketing campaign with Moving Targets (www.movingtargets.com) inviting "new movers" into my wash;
- I would place a display ad in the local newspaper; or
- I would use the $400 to provide daily cash bonuses to my top producing attendants and cashiers for the next four weeks.
Going into the last few weeks of the year, astute operators will make aggressive plans to finish 2012 on a very positive note!

Dog Boarding
Dog Boarding Vacations
With our Bed & Breakfast program each guest that stays at Crossroads Pet Resort starts the day with a gourmet meal and potty time. They then move to their individual day areas. We offer optional activities such as private play time, stuffed kongs, frozen yogurt, brushing or special TLC. They also receive an additional gourmet meal in the evening, additional optional activities, and are then put to bed in their private sleeping areas. Every dog sleeps inside in a quiet, private, temperature controlled bunk on cots covered with soft fleece, and with toys or chewies to help them go to sleep. For dogs that prefer the comfort of their "den", fleece-lined crates are also available.
For owners who want to give their pet something extra while they are away, we offer our very popular Bark in the Park program for all our social canine guests. This program includes all the perks of the Bed & Breakfast stay but gives dogs additional socialization time on our special grass play field. Dogs on this program are paired up with a buddy (or several buddies) in their day area and receive two group play sessions per day in our play park where they play with other social dogs, chase a ball with a supervising staff member, or splash around in one of our kiddie pools. Each guest is also given "quiet time" during the day to ensure everyone is given adequate rest from their long day of play. The Bark in the Park program is a great way to eliminate any stress of being in a new environment as dogs are too busy playing to worry about being away from home! You can go away confident that your dog is happy and content while in our care.
Another of our resort's unique features is our Home Sweet Home/Executive Suite. This program offers all the benefits of the Bed & Breakfast or Play in the Park programs but also gives your pet our utmost VIP service, where your pooch gets to hang out during the day in our main office or in the private home, and sleep in the house where our kennel attendant lives. Your dog gets all the sights, sounds, and smells of being in a real home environment, and all the attention our staff can give with your dog snoozing right at our feet. This program is especially beneficial for dogs who have fears or anxiety and cannot be left in a normal kennel environment. It is also most appropriate for young puppies, older dogs, or dogs with special needs. Be sure to inquire more about what our Home Sweet Home/Executive Suite can do for your dog!
Also, any pet who stays for more than three days, will receive a bath before leaving at discounted salon prices – Our guests love to go home clean!
Boarding Geriatric Pets
Being away from home can be more stressful for older pets than for younger ones. They are more set in their ways, and their patterns more deeply ingrained. Dogs and cats love patterns-knowing what is going to happen and when and changing these patterns can upset them. Additionally, geriatric pets are more likely to have underlying health problems and boarding, especially if your pet has never been boarded or boarded infrequently, may cause these conditions to become apparent or worsen.
At Crossroads, we want your senior pet to go home happy and healthy so we do require that your older pet stay in our Home Sweet Home program where we provide additional attention, extra bedding, soft music, or a special boarding area away from the general pet population. Special diets can be prepared to meet the nutritional needs of a senior pet, or you may choose to provide the food of your choice. Please discuss your pet's individual needs and health conditions in advance, along with what to do if something changes.
Be honest about any known medical condition your pet may have. The staff will be better able to recognize problems with a particular condition if they know what to look for. Take along all medications your pet may need during the stay. Be sure they are all labeled appropriately. Before you leave, be sure to confirm with the staff that the instructions for your pet's medication's has been entered properly.
Boarding Puppies
We are committed to the health, happiness and training of your new puppy and therefore this boarding program is a requirement for all puppies 6 months old or less:
Home-Sweet-Home boarding package and two meals per day.
We also suggest adding the following optional activities to ensure that your puppy has premium and individualized pampering time:
- Daily Training session – includes brushing/handling session
- Housetraining – we keep your pup on a potty schedule
- Kong time – to satisfy teething and chewing needs
- Sweet Dreams – to keep puppy content at bedtime
Our Dog Boarding services all of Orange and Los Angeles counties, including Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Long Beach, Newport Beach, Los Alamitos, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Brea, Fullerton, Westminster, Fountain Valley, Cypress, Hollywood, West L.A., Studio City…and more!
Ask about our Pet Taxi Service. We also offer boarding to caged pets and exotics.

Confidential, there's not much of a complex plot in Rampart and no case that needs to be cracked (besides the mystery of why Brown acts the way he does, which is something that would take longer to resolve than the movie's 108-minute runtime). And even though Brown entertains a few conspiracy theories, Rampart is far less interested in those than in watching the dirty cop slowly self-destruct, as his myriad mistakes start piling up around him. Instead of laying low, even as he's under increased scrutiny, Brown insists on making things harder on himself. As the pressure on him builds, one bad decision leads to another. And eventually everyone in his life, from his bosses to his family, gets fed up with his perpetually self-defeating act.

What do you think of Oprah's new 'do, debuting on the cover of this month's O magazine? <!–more–>
We love this look so much. It inspires women with African-American hair to celebrate its natural beauty (or, um…replicate its natural beauty with a wig, like Oprah). And there's just something about big hair in any form that's slimming, sexy, and lets out your inner wild child.
Will you be teasing up your 'fro like the great Ms. O?

Ohio corrections officials say Ariel Castro who held three women captive in his home for nearly a decade has committed suicide at a state prison facility.
Spokeswoman JoEllen Smith says 53-year-old Castro was found hanging in his cell around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient. Prison medical staff performed CPR before Castro was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The three women disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. They escaped May 6, when one of the women broke part of a door and yelled to neighbors for help. Castro was arrested that evening.
Castro was sentenced Aug. 1 to life in prison plus 1,000 years on his guilty plea to 937 counts including kidnapping and rape.

Russia says it may abandon Space Station by 2020 over Ukraine conflict. On Tuesday, Russia's deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin announced that the country would not cooperate with the US on the International Space Station (ISS) after 2020 despite the fact that the US was hoping to use the ISS until 2024.
Rogozin also said that Russia would no longer sell its NK-33 and RD-180 rocket engines to the US for military purposes. RD-180 rocket engines are used in the United States' Atlas V launch vehicle for a variety of cargoes including US military payloads. Finally, Rogozin said that the US will have to cease operations of its 11 GPS sites within the country on June 1 unless the two nations can come to an agreement before then.
After the June 1 deadline, Moscow says it will permit three months of negotiations, but if there's no agreement, the 11 stations "will be permanently terminated," the Russian government-funded site RT wrote. From black holes to dark matter, an astrophysicist explains. Katherine Mack, astrophysicist at the University of Melbourne, answered questions posed by the public on Reddit.
The Conversation has curated the highlights. Dark Matter. Nnedi Okorafor's Lagoon Shows Just How Messy First Contact Could Get. Are Religious Beliefs Going To Screw Up First Contact? Habitable exoplanets are bad news for humanity. Last week, scientists announced the discovery of Kepler-186f, a planet 492 light years away in the Cygnus constellation.
Kepler-186f is special because it marks the first planet almost exactly the same size as Earth orbiting in the "habitable zone," the distance from a star in which we might expect liquid water—and perhaps life. What did not make the news, however, is that this discovery also slightly increases how much credence we give to the possibility of our own near-term extinction. The Great Filter. Sept. 15, 1998 by Robin Hanson Humanity seems to have a bright future, i.e., a non-trivial chance of expanding to fill the universe with lasting life.
But the fact that space near us seems dead now tells us that any given piece of dead matter faces an astronomically low chance of begating such a future. Future - Will nuclear-powered spaceships take us to the stars? In the 1950s, rocket scientists dreamed of atomic-powered spaceships.
Now these far-fetched designs might help a new generation explore the cosmos. Project Orion has to be the most audacious, dangerous and downright absurd space programme ever funded by the US taxpayer. This 1950s design involved exploding nuclear bombs behind a spacecraft the size of the Empire State Building to propel it through space. The Orion's engine would generate enormous amounts of energy – and with it lethal doses of radiation. Plans suggested the spacecraft could take off from Earth and travel to Mars and back in just three months. Hundreds of Exoplanets, A Handful Right for Life. Of the 1,780 confirmed planets beyond our solar system, as many as 16 are located in their star's habitable zone, where conditions are neither too hot nor too cold to support life.
Size also matters: A planet that's too small can't maintain an atmosphere; one that's too large will have a crushing atmosphere. A newly detected planet 493 light-years from Earth, Kepler-186f is close to Earth's size and is located in its solar system's habitable zone.

All The Kepler Planets Graphed By Their Ability To Support Life. First Extraterrestrial Waves Ever Spotted On Titan. Saturn's largest moon, Titan, looks a lot like Earth, except in deepfreeze.
It's got a nitrogen atmosphere, along with lakes and seas, channels sculpted by rivers, and even mudflats and rain clouds. The moon is so much like our planet that it's a frequent setting for sci-fi: the (spoiler alert) promised land for Tom Cruise's character in Oblivion, as well as the setting for Kurt Vonnegut's second novel. But while Titan appears so earthlike in so many ways, it's still a very alien place. The giant doughnuts that could help a Mars landing. Hurtling towards Mars and don't know how to stop?
Nasa is developing a technology that could help prevent disaster. At an isolated facility in the Mojave Desert, protected by two security checkpoints and patrolled by armed guards, Nasa is conducting an experiment to help shape humanity's future in space. Inside a vast harshly-lit hangar, surrounded by monitors, cables and test equipment, I watch as technicians attach wires to a giant inflatable doughnut. It appears that either staff at the agency's Dryden Flight Research Center have got their hands on some weird alien artefact or are constructing a surrealist art installation. In fact this six-metre wide air-filled ring is a small section of a spacecraft landing system known as a Hiad – Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator.
Getting the math of the Universe to cancel out. The vacuum of space isn't actually "empty"; it teems with particles that pop in and out of existence, giving the vacuum an energy of its own.
But here's an embarrassing fact about that energy: it predicts that the cosmological constant (which provides a measure of the rate of the expansion of the Universe) should be 10120 times larger than we think it actually is. Most scientists prefer things to be a bit more accurate than this. Still, the main question on cosmologists' minds is not why the predicted and real values appear to be so different, but how it is that the vacuum energy does so little. An answer of sorts has recently appeared in Physical Review Letters. Getting the math of the Universe to cancel out. Space elevator. A space elevator for Earth would consist of a cable fixed to the Earth's equator, reaching into space.
By attaching a counterweight at the end (or by further extending the cable upward for the same purpose), the center of mass is kept well above the level of geostationary orbit. Upward centrifugal force from the Earth's rotation ensures that the cable remains stretched taut, fully countering the downward gravitational pull. Once above the geostationary level, climbers would have weight in the upward direction as the centrifugal force overpowers gravity. (The height relative to the diameter of the Earth on the diagram is to scale. Space Elevators. Science Deck - Space Elevators. This book addresses the simple and complex issues that have been identified through the development of space elevator concepts over the last decade.
The report begins with a summary of those ideas in Edwards' and Westling's book The Space Elevator (2003). Out of these beginnings has risen a worldwide cadre focused upon their areas of expertise as applied to space elevator development and operational infrastructure. The report answers some basic questions about the feasibility of a space elevator infrastructure. Space Elevators Are Totally Possible (and Will Make Rockets Seem Dumb) It's the scourge of futurists everywhere: The space elevator can't seem to shake its image as something that's just ridiculous, laughed off as the stuff of sci-fi novels and overactive imaginations. But there are plenty of scientists who take the idea quite seriously, and they're trying to buck that perception. To that end, a diverse group of experts at the behest of the International Academy of Astronautics completed an impressively thorough study this month on whether building a space elevator is doable.
Their resulting report, "Space Elevators: An Assessment of the Technological Feasibility and the Way Forward," found that, in a nutshell, such a contraption is both totally feasible and a really smart idea. And they laid out a 300-page roadmap detailing how to make it happen. RELATED: The Twelve Mile High Tower Is on "Pause" Thanks to the Jet Stream. Lunar Map Catalog.

that setlist looks incredible. Very intrigued by Sunskrupt...
I wish it were Northskruptsun!
I am in love with that setlist.
No Too Young or If I Ever Feel Better but still looks rad.
Setlist looks great!! Maybe they will throw in another old song or two at Coachella. I really enjoyed their set in 2010 and I can't wait to hear the new album played live.
Here's a review of the show:
They're playing on SNL April 6th.
So how about that Phoenix track, eh?
^ lol
Do they even play "Everything is Everything" anymore? My friend showed me that song years before they blew up, telling me it "sounds like Maroon 5". Frankly, I listened to Alphabetical yesterday and it's pretty weird...almost close to funk/hip hop/generic American pop at times. So I guess the Maroon 5 comparison wasn't far off.
I love Alphabetical. Everything is Everything, Victim of the Crime, and Holdin on Together are some of my favorite Phoenix songs.
Praying that the crowd won't be swamped with disappointed pre-teen daft punk hopefuls. Would suck for Phoenix/their fans dually.

At Nemours, we treat the whole child, not just the condition. Our team approach to treating bone tumors in children brings together experts from a variety of related specialties to provide your child with the best possible treatment. Working together, we offer the most comprehensive and effective care for children with pediatric bone tumors.
The compassionate expertise of our doctors — coupled with our kid-friendly, family-centered atmosphere — helps to minimize the stress families and patients often experience throughout the evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation process of pediatric bone tumors.
Bone tumors occur often in children and adolescents. They may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), though benign tumors are more common. Both kinds may grow and affect healthy bone tissue, but benign bone tumors in children do not spread to other parts of the body and are rarely life-threatening.
Pediatric bone tumors may be caused by either primary bone cancer or cancer that has spread to the bone from another part of the body. Primary bone cancer is rare, with approximately 2,500 new cases diagnosed among adults and children in the United States each year.

The Shenandoah River is the largest river that flows into the Potomac River. Shenandoah Riverkeeper uses community action and enforcement to protect and restore water quality in the Shenandoah Valley for people, fish, and aquatic life.
Jeff Kelble, the Shenandoah Riverkeeper, patrols the water, educates the community, and advocates for a healthier Shenandoah River. Jeff knows how an unhealthy river can hurt the local economy and the health of the local residents. In 2005, after fish kills ruined his fishing guide business, Jeff closed his 6-year old business and joined up with Potomac Riverkeeper Ed Merrifield.
Jeff's job is to investigate pollution in the Shenandoah and start a dialogue with the polluters. If the polluters do not listen, or do not stop polluting, Jeff is ready to use the citizen suit provisions of the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and other environmental laws.

City Beach by Kay Bradner
Kay Bradner captures the reflection of the sky on the water at different times of day, further heightening the luminescence by using aluminum as a canvas. City Beach and Sunset almost become abstracts when the eye takes in the people as patterns. The sheer mass of people in shorts and t-shirts instead of swimsuits seems unusual, and the light cast by the setting sun reflects the slight chill not present earlier. Rowers, on the other hand, enjoy the misty stillness of the early morning.

Metro: Ueno
Concierge.com's insider take:
Ueno is the old-fashioned part of town that's popular with visitors who come for its cultural attractions. Several museums (including the Tokyo National Museum) and the Festival Hall are clustered in Ueno Park, which is also home to Japan's oldest zoo and Toshogu Shrine. The park has more than 1,000 cherry trees and is a popular spot for spring cherry blossom viewing. Ueno is close to Akihabara, also known as Electric Town, which is the place to go for the latest gadgets and electronics. The neighborhood is also ground zero for Japanese denim; stroll through the market (which was first established in 1949) that runs alongside and under the train tracks. Local brand Hinoya has not one but three shops—Plus One, Plus Mart, and Sun House—selling sought-after locally produced jeans by Burgus Plus, Momotaro, and Sugar Cane along the side street.—Updated by Rebecca Willa Davis
