The oldest population on the planet has a whole district designed just for them – the Tokyo suburb of Sugamo. David McNeill reports
Wednesday 15 April 2009
It takes roughly 17 minutes to traverse Tokyo's generation gap. In the city's youth mecca of Harajuku, goths, lolitas, rockers and young fashionistas help fill out a shopping landscape crowded with boutiques and brand-name franchises. Nine stops later on the Yamanote loop railway line in Sugamo, the river of human traffic turns greyer and slower as it files past shops selling thermal underwear, hearing aids and orthopaedic socks. Shopfronts have been modified to accommodate wheelchairs, and hand-written signs replace neon. Think Harajuku for pensioners.
"I come here twice a week with my friends," says 90-year-old Hisako Yanagida, who chats in between belting out traditional ballads in a musty karaoke bar called Mukashi No Uta ("Songs from the Old Days"). "Meeting and shopping with people my own age helps stop me from going senile."
Japan is undergoing a unique social experiment, suggests a 2008 government White Paper, and is transforming into a "type of aged society never experienced before". With one-fifth of its roughly 128 million people aged 65 or over, the nation has the largest percentage of senior citizens on the planet. By the middle of the century, when average life expectancy is expected to stretch to 86 for Japanese men and to 90 for women, more than one third of the population will be pensioners.
That inverted population pyramid, now being swelled by retiring baby boomers, is already straining Japan's arthritic welfare system, but amid the nation's worst economic crisis since the Second World War, opportunities are knocking for some. According to the government, the average pensioner couple has savings of more than 24 million yen (£162,000) and average monthly spending per household peaks in the 60-69 age group. Many businesses want a slice of the so-called silver market.
Sugamo is the retail cutting edge of this phenomenon. Its main shopping street, Jizo Dori, is one kilometre long but boasts 10 chemists' shops, half a dozen or more outlets selling walking aids, at least two funeral arrangers and a karaoke bar where the song list stops in the 1970s.
Red underwear, a traditional gift for the over-60s because it is reputed to warm the nether regions and ward off sickness, hangs outside many shops, like the street's unofficial flag. Unlike many of its more garish neighbours around the capital, Sugamo has few fast-food restaurants or flashing neon signs to strain those tired old retinas.
"People come here from the miles away, even from the countryside," explains Mariko Saito, the owner of Mukashi No Uta. Inside the bar, scenes from old samurai dramas flicker on the karaoke screen as Yanagida entertains a handful of customers whose collective age is older than the US. The bar is a well-known haunt for pensioners. "It is hopping at the weekends," says Saito. "Sometimes old folk who are completely blind come in with family members to read the lyrics for them."
Sugamo's spiritual heart is the 400-year-old Kogan-ji Buddhist temple, home of the Togenuki statue, which has earned a reputation over the years for performing miracle cures on the sick and ailing. "Of course most people don't believe that coming here will make them better, but it can't do any harm either," laughs Michiko Morioka, 79, who suns herself in the temple's grounds, crowded with elderly people discussing back pain and creaking joints. "We come to talk and shop."
As the temple grew in popularity among the old, local businesses sprang up or modified to cater to them, says Hiroshi Shimichi, who owns a furniture store on the main street. "They were coming in and asking for walking aids so I began to stock them about a year ago," he adds. "So far at least, sales haven't been harmed by the recession." The crowds are bigger on the 4th, 14th and 24th of each month – considered lucky dates among the elderly.
Sugamo is one harbinger of what
some observers believe could be a major consumer shift, as businesses begin to cater for a demographic they have largely neglected. "A lot of companies were unsure or even afraid of how to deal with older people," says Florian Kohlbacher, author of The Silver Market Phenomenon: Business Opportunities In An Era Of Demographic Change. "They think it will have a negative impact on their image, but this is changing."
He believes the market, while "still very underdeveloped", is promising. "Japanese companies were among the first to react to the challenge of the demographic change and are constantly coming up with product as well as service innovations."
Examples abound. A Kyoto-based underwear maker, Wacoal has studied more than 40,000 human bodies in a bid to discover how the body changes over time and develop the perfect fit for the elderly. The car-maker Nissan is trying to develop a vehicle for the elderly that will respond more sharply to dulled driving instincts. And the telecoms giant NTT has developed phones with easy to read keys and functions. The over-55s are among the fastest-rising group of new customers in Japan for fitness clubs, dating agencies and holiday outings. Even Tokyo Disneyland, once geared exclusively toward the young, is trying to lure some of that grey yen.
The changes are all the more remarkable because before the 1990s, Japan's elderly demographic was average – until its huge strides in diet and in healthcare began to kick in. Longer life expectancy has been coupled with the plummeting birth rate, forcing a rethink for many companies, even those catering to market niches once considered unthinkable for the elderly – such as adult entertainment and sex. Several firms have launched product lines dubbed "elderly porn" – an increasingly popular genre with its own star in 75-year-old Shigeo Tokuda. A veteran of 350 films, Tokuda entered the industry late in life after decades working as a salaryman in the tourism industry.
He told a Japanese magazine last year that his success, and his ambition to keep working until his 80s, was a sign of the times. "As Japan ages," he said, "people like me will become more important because we show that we can still have rich lives."
In Tokyo, Osaka and other cities, some firms now operate call-out prostitution services for pensioners and the immobile. Known euphemistically as "delivery heath", they charge up to £370 for a 180-minute session, and offer optional services such as pick-ups for wheelchair-bound customers from home to hotel.
But the ageing phenomenon has its dark side. For those who cannot afford the cost of buying into the silver consumer market, prospects are bleak: life on meagre and shrinking welfare benefits. And over the past few years the authorities have grimly taken note that people do not stop committing crimes when they turn 60. Robbery, assault and murder by pensioners are on the increase amid what the media has dubbed a "grey crimewave". The percentage of over-65s in prison has trebled in the past decade and exceeds 12 per cent of the total prison population – four times the figure in Britain.
Japan has the highest rate of incarceration for pensioners in the industrialised world and a custom-tooled prison – Onomichi in Hiroshima, equipped with handrails, pushcarts and walking aids. The inmates include a pensioner who beat up his care worker after he threatened to resign, and an elderly married couple who held up a convenience store. The eldest is 89.
As the slump deepens, the problem of elderly crime is likely to deepen. But business and government hope that the future looks more like Sugamo than Onomichi, and a virtual universe away from its crowded streets. With cash in their pockets, the generation who built postwar Japan into an economic superpower can chat, shop and even – if local rumour is to be believed – date at the neighbourhood love hotels. And of course there is always singing.
"Sometimes I get lonely and think I've been forgotten about," laments Yanagida, whose husband died 37 years ago. "Here I feel like I'm part of the world again," she says, before returning for her fourth stint at the karaoke machine.

Gujarat Governor Kamla has called for concerted efforts by the Government and the public to conserve and harness water. Water is going to be a critical area in future and there is a need to apply both the time tested techniques of the country side along with modern innovations in its conservation and management, she said.
Dr. Kamla was speaking as the chief guest at the Fourth Dalmia Environment Award function at Chirawa town in Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan. Former Union Minister and Jhunjhunu MP Sisram Ola, Magsaysay Award winner "Waterman" Rajendra Singh and Raghuhari Dalmia, patron of the award committee, also spoke on the occasion. The Dalmia Environment Awards have been instituted by the Ramkrishna Jaidayal Dalmia Seva Sansthan headquartered at Chirawa, the home town of the Dalmia family.
Dalmia Award for progressive farmer
Krishna Kumar Jakhar, a progressive farmer who explains himself as a "spiritual farmer", from Hetrampura Dhaba in Sangaria tehsil of Hanumangarh district received the award for 2010 which carries a cash component of Rs.1 lakh. Mr. Jakhar, who practises organic farming and makes minimal use of water is also known for his 'zero budget" farming -- which does not require inputs other than what comes naturally -- but the yields could be as good or even better than that of those who make use of fertilizer and pesticides.
The Divisional awards -- of Rs.11,000 each -- were received by Hiralal Sharma of Sahayog Sansthan -- working in Bhindar and Pratapgarh blocks of Udaipur district -- Gyan Singh Nathawat of the Watershed Consultation Organisation(WASCO) of Jalore, Ganpat Lal Dogiwal and Jai Singh Dhankar of Sikar and Ummed Singh Shekhawat of Bikaner.
They have all been chosen by a jury headed by M.S. Rathore, Director, and Centre for Environment and Development Studies, for their pioneering work and innovative action in socio-economic development of backward regions, water harnessing, dry land farming and horticulture in the semi-arid region.
Referring to the age-old traditions of water conservation in the Shekhawati region with the Seths and philanthropists initiating building of wells, bawris (step wells) and lakes for common use, Dr. Kamla said with the threats of climate change and serious water shortage looming large the Governments, citizens and business houses should work in tandem to protect environment.Mr. Ola, who appreciated the efforts of the Dalmia family, said the contribution of big business families hailing from the region had immensely helped Jhunjhunu to be the most literate district in Rajasthan where the female literacy is also the highest in the State. The main speaker, Rajendra Singh, said that instead of being a mindless exploiter of earth's resources every citizen should turn a "panidaar" (person who enhances water availability). "Water is God's gift. Man cannot create it. Save it for the future generations," he exhorted.

"Stringless Peach" mango . . . ever heard of it?
Plants sold in southern Florida about 50-60 years ago, judged by the size of the tree seen in the mid-1960s.
Excellent fruit. The tree I saw was the favorite of a farm family that owned it. Now destroyed unfortunately.
They also grew "Bombay Yellow," a polyembryonic mango of good quality. I saved one of those by seed.
R2E2 mangos are also called Peach Mangos. Haven't heard them called "Stringless Peach Mangos" but they are stringless. They're often used in table displays at banquets/functions because they look quite impressive.
Thanks. Interesting. In the late 1960s I and a friend from the grower family asked Dr. David Sturrock, then the grand old man of mangoes in Florida, if he had heard of it and he had not, but he too mentioned mangoes that were called "peach" mangoes.
I had one in the 80's. I got it in a garbage pail from a guy who was having a yard sale. He roughly pulled it from the ground and sold it to me for $5 and told me it would not die.
He was right. It grew to over 25' tall and gave up the most delicious mango I ever had. They weren't large but were excellent tasting.
The new owner of the house cut it down.
The "Peach mango" is an old Florida cultivar rarely seen... I wish I had one.
There is one growing near Clearwater in Belleair, FL. I know the former owner and he said it tasted like a peach. It's an old tree.

AN ACCIDENT on the approach to the Blackwall Tunnel which backed traffic on the A2 all the way back to the M25 has been cleared.
Drivers are still experiencing severe delays on the A2 westbound following the incident at the Sun in the Sands roundabout with slow moving vehicles still queuing up to Junction 2 of the M25 at the Darenth Interchange.
In addition one lane is closed due to two broken down vehicles on the A2 westbound at the A2213 (Kidbrooke Interchange).
Lane one of the A102 remains closed on the flyover due to a broken down lorry and car, adding to the usual morning queues approaching the Kidbrooke Elbow.
Travellers are warned to expect extra traffic on the A13 and A20 as drivers try to avoid the delays.
Meanwhile the A225 Dartford Road had to be cleared after being blocked both ways following an accident between the A20 Main Road/Dartford Road and Station Road.
A collision on the A20 Sidcup bypass west bound prior to the Crittalls Corner roundabout means traffic is slow moving on the approach.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Fifty years after his novel Battle Cry took the world by storm, Leon Uris returns to his first inspiration -- the Marine Corps. In 1888, Zachary O'Hara, son of a legendary Marine, is the one man who can save the Corps. But there's a beautiful obstacle in his path -- Amanda Blanton Kerr, daughter of a ruthless industrialist -- that jeopardizes everything he's struggled to achieve.
Duty to country, love of family, and a tormented passion intertwine in this epic by international bestselling author Leon Uris.
Internationally acclaimed novelist Leon Uris ran away from home at age seventeen, a month after the attack on Pearl Harbor, to join the Marine Corps, and he served at Guadalcanal and Tarawa. His first novel, Battle Cry, was based on his own experiences in the Marines, which he revisited in his final novel, O'Hara's Choice. His other novels include the bestsellers Redemption, Trinity, Exodus, QB VII, and Topaz, among others. Leon Uris passed away in June 2003.

Junction box type for exterior sconce?
What type of junction box is appropriate for an exterior sconce light mounted flush to the siding? This is a little different because there is 1" exterior rigid foam insulation.
I am not sure if it has to be waterproof or can project through the sheathing or maybe a 1/2" pancake box is enough.
1. There is not a 2x4 stud located where I want to to mount the light (of course). It is right between studs 16" on center.
3. The wall is 1/2 osb, then 1" exterior rigid foam, then vinyl siding.
4. The sconce back is a flat rectangle 10" high by 8" wide.
5. it weighs under 6 lbs
They make specific lighting boxes for this application, they are usually round and while not necessarily waterpoof, they're typically painted or made of plastic that's not going to corrode in such an environment. You'll have to check the instructions for the fixture, but most decorative ones won't work on just a pancake box.
It sounds like with our exterior foam insulation, you might have sufficient depth there for this box (just screwed to the disoriented strand board).
Thank you, ronnatalie. I looked at and measured the round boxes. They were 1 1/2" to 2" deep, too deep for the 1" rigid foam. Oh foo.
I finally got an adjustable depth single gang PVC box. I put a 2x4 cleat across the space and an 18" long stud vertically to hang the box. The metal bracket fastens to the face of the 2x4 so I first fastened the box to the wood then rotated it to the outside and fastened the stud vertically.
The adjusting screw made it simple to set the box exactly to the face of the foam. I will add a vinyl mounting block and flashing tape to divert rain around the j-box.

Reveals the secret language and words of power that enabled the ancient Egyptians to imagine the world into existence
bull; Reveals ancient Egyptian Mystery teachings on immaculate conception, transubstantiation, resurrection, and eternal life
bull; Explores the shamanic journeys that ancient Egyptian priests used to view the unconscious and the afterlife
bull; Provides the essential spiritual tools needed to return to Zep Tepi, the creative source
Drawing from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Pyramid texts, the Book of Thoth, and other sacred hieroglyphic writings spanning the three millennia of the Egyptian Mystery Traditions, Normandi Ellis reveals the magical language of creation and words of power that enabled the ancient Egyptians to act as co-creators with the gods.
Examining the power of hieroglyphic thinking--how thoughts create reality--and the multiple meanings behind every word of power, the author shows how, with the Neteru, we imagine the world into existence, casting a spell of consciousness over the material world. Uncovering the deep layers of meaning and symbol within the myths of the Egyptian gods and goddesses, Ellis investigates the shamanic journeys that ancient Egyptian priests used to view the unconscious and the afterlife and shares their initiations for immaculate conception, transubstantiation, resurrection, and eternal lifemdash;initiations that later became part of the Christian mystery school. Revealing the words of power used by these ancient priests/sorcerers, she explains how to search for the deeper, hidden truths beneath their spells and shows how ancient Egyptian consciousness holds the secret of life itself.
Revealing the initiatory secrets of the Osirian Mystery school, Ellis provides the essential teachings and shamanic tools needed to return to Zep Tepi--the creative source--as we face the transitional time of radical change currently at hand.

do you have a firewall on your destop computer?
I think, the answer is "yes, of course!"
Why don't you wan't a firewall for your phone?
Your answere: "It is linux, we don't need it!"
In contrast to the "safe a.p.p.l.e market" we are free to get our application from everywhere...
But every person with minimum programming skills is able to use tools like "apktool", "smali/baksmali" to modify existing applications.
Why not integrate some spy functions (send private photos, use camera and microphone, send phonebook and email-adresses).
There is always a FREE program to disallow or allow applications the use of wifi or mobile data connections:
DROIDWALL ( h ttp://code.google.com/p/droidwall/ )
But this superb program need some special compiling parameters in the kernel compilation process.
(Something like 'iptables', 'multiport', 'iprange' and 'ipowner')
I found only one working kernel+rom, which is DroidWall compatible: "Six O´Clock A.M." from user 'oclock',
( h ttp://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/312051/oclock-custom-rom/ )
This is a fine and stable release, but it is a v2.1 rom (not froyo).
Please, please froyo-kernel-developer: get the right parameters for kernel compilation, so we can use DroidWall.
So everybody can decide by himself, which application is allowed to send data to wifi or mobile data connection.
Kind Regards

What do you think about rewarding players for hitting certain milestones of games won?
The options are rather simple
Forum pictures/titles
Unique or just free skin
In game summoner icon.
This thread is directed at riot as I'm mainly interested in what they think but feel free to post your own thoughts.
I'd like to see skins for 100/250/500/1000 wins. And maybe one for x number of losses
I mentioned this in a another post about the price of rune pages. I'd recommend and greatly appreciate milestone rewards for Tribunal Cases.
IE I'd like to see rune pages given out for voting on a certain # of cases. I agree with your idea as well, though I'd prefer it be for number of gains played. Obviously you could fudge this system, surrender at 20 mins repeatedly but I'm sure Riot could work around these issues.
IvI 100 Bidoof
free skin's is a bit much, ip bonuses would be more likely for them to do. either would be nice
Junior Member
hmm..i have a question. do you get 500 ip and a forum badge if your friend gets to lvl 5? or is it a milestone reward? i mean if your friend gets to lvl 10, do u get 500 ip and the badge or lvl 5? im kinda confused

Meenakshi Srinivasan's fine recital in Kochi was enhanced by evocative music.
Meenakshi Srinivasan's performance in Kochi showcased her perfection in her craft and her acting prowess. The first item was an invocation to Krishna in which the dancer described the divine beauty of the Lord. This was a composition in Nagaswaravali set to tune by Rajkumar Bharathi.
The ragamalika varnam 'Samiyayai azhaithodi va' of the famed Dandayudhapani Pillai highlighted her fine nritya. As the heroine pleads with her friend to bring the Lord of Chidambara to her without delay, the friend evades her request by saying that she is intimidated by Shiva's temper and his appearance.
Deft choreography that heightened the impact of the trikala jathi took the dance to great heights. Meenakshi effortlessly switched between the different speeds. Her nimble footwork and movements made her dance look effortless.
Kaniyal Hariprasad's lilting rendition evoked the various emotions of romance and longing. The sancharis for the anupallavi in 'Mamathi mukhamo kanalaay veesuthadi' were striking. How the moon light heightens the emotions of the nayika was portrayed well. It was enhanced by an enchanting rendition of Mohanam. The scene demonstrated moments of intense abhinaya.
Jayashri Ramanathan accompanied the dancer deftly on the nattuvangam in these intricate passages, which were enriched by smart choreography.
'Appudu manasu', a javali in Kamas, saw the bashfulness and naiveté of a young maiden who is enthralled by the beauty of Lord Venkatesa. She tells her friend that she finds it difficult to control her emotions when beckoned by the Lord.
The most subdued yet telling piece of the performance was the ashtapadi 'Nijagadasa yadunandane'. Her acting prowess came to the fore when the danseuse portrayed the romance between Radha and Krishna. Seated, using her hands minimally, she conveyed the mood through expressions.
The last was a thillana in Sindhubhairavi in which the dancer once again charmed the audience with her light footwork and precise movements.
Keywords: Meenakshi Srinivasan, Bharatnatyam

Hello all! *waves*
I live in Belco area with my hubby and our 2yo daughter. She was born at home I'm pregnant with no. 2 and will be going through the birth centre this year. We only moved to Canberra (from the South Coast) when I was pregnant last time so didn't get much time to make friends. We have some fabulous local friends now but we could always do with more local support!! We don't have close relatives in the area either, so I really struggled last time post-birth. It was a very lonely time for me.
I look forward to "meeting" you all here online and hopefully even getting to know some of you IRL later on.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 07:16 PM
Or you could come to Yum Cha on Sunday, and meet some of us in person! (see the thread below)
Posted 29 January 2013 - 07:32 PM
Welcome, Dragon .
Are you South or Northside? (I'm North).
My first four babies were homebirthed and the last two born in the birth centre.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 07:36 PM
Spikey, that's very kind, thank yee! However hubs will be working and I won't have the car at that time on Sunday (we share the one car). I think I'd like to meet people a bit more online first too, though - a bit awkward turning up at a meet of strangers with no names to put to faces and no common ground (yet!). I'll get there eventually, though!!
Sorceress - OMG, your hubby is M the Chiro?????????????? I knew you on JB briefly and you recommended him, and I PMed you recently on there (no reply) to tell you I booked an appointment with him. I've been seeing him weekly and just saw him this morning, actually I'd love to meet up with you one day, I think you'll have a lot of wisdom to share with me. x
Oh, I'm northside - Belconnen area

Hi A!
Sorry, I don't have my login details for the other forum anymore! I could read your message but not reply .
Love to catch up . Perhaps yum cha on the weekend but we won't tell anybody else we're going? (Just kidding, Spikey )
Posted 29 January 2013 - 08:52 PM
Welcome! We're in the Belco area too & I also saw M during my pg with DD Sorceress is lovely, you might run into her at the practice!
Posted 29 January 2013 - 09:17 PM
I'm so glad I've tracked you down (unintentionally!) K!
Thank you for the lovely welcomes. I also know Steph (with Alex) irl, and I know she used to be very active on here.
I'm guessing EB as a whole has quietened down like other forums have? I had membership a couple of years ago (only about ten posts to my name though!) and thought it was much more active...?
Posted 30 January 2013 - 07:51 AM
Oh I remember Steph! I hope they're both well .
Yes, it was much more active on EB a few years ago... I think the overzealous moderation and availability of Facebook have quietened it down a lot .
Posted 31 January 2013 - 12:14 PM
That's such a shame K! Though just a sign of the times I suppose.
Bit disappointed as I went and introduced myself in the Due in Sept. thread and though there are now multiple replies after mine, not one person said hello or welcome to me, and they've just kept on chatting to each other. Whoa. Should I just give up now?
Posted 31 January 2013 - 02:16 PM
Hi There
I'm a homebirther too. Eagerly awaiting no. 2 to arrive in the next couple of weeks at home.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 04:17 PM
Welcome Water Dragon!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 04:28 PM
Thanks you two!!
Lux, who is your midwife? How exciting, congrats!!!!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 04:41 PM
Welcome water Dragon!
Im Northside too. Gungahlin area. Have 2 girls, one is 4, the other is 1. With the biggest off to preschool this year for half the week im really keen to meet some people with some younger kids for my DD2! My 4 year old had lots of play mates and friends from my original mothers group..but the little one hasnt really got anyone her age around.
Always happy to meet up with new people welcome to the neighbourhood! and congrats on number 2!! I had my second at the birth Centre too
Posted 31 January 2013 - 11:30 PM
I have Marie as my midwife and a doula (Vickie) as well.
Posted 01 February 2013 - 05:41 AM
I just realised how brief my response was LOL. I had a very TIRED day yesterday.
There's really only 1 homebirth midwife in this area, although Marie is hoping to change that this year. Unfortunately she's all the way out at Goulburn and could be anywhere in the Southern Highlands when I go into labour. So I found myself a gorgeous Doula, Vickie to be with me as well.
I have just over 2 weeks to go. My blessingway is this Sunday and the girls are going to help me set up the pool and the birth space. I can't wait!
I'm in Belco too BTW.
Posted 01 February 2013 - 12:11 PM
I had Marie for DD's birth too! DH wasn't really on board with a home birth but we thought *maybe* if things are going really well. In the end DD was quite "late" and labour came on really hard & fast so we went into hosp & Marie met us there.

Princes Palace yum cha down by Lake Ginninderra = YUM
Posted 01 February 2013 - 12:30 PM
I know, the lack of IMs here is awful. I did homebirth here last tine (we were living in Spence at the time) under a midwife from the Illawarra but I wouldn't recommend her as we had some issues at my daughter's birth and also some issues (all related to professionalism) this time as well. I'm actually looking forward to going through the BC, as odd as it will be for me to get into a car and drive somewhere while in labour!
Posted 01 February 2013 - 03:52 PM
I did a tour of the birth centre but as soon as I arrived there I clammed up and felt sick ....so I'm guessing it just wasn't the right environment for me
Posted 01 February 2013 - 04:05 PM
Welcome Dragon,
I am also in Belco, with a very nearly 2 year old DS. I would love to go to the birth centre for this one, but I got 'high risk'ed out of calvary, so no chance in hell would they let me in.
The yum cha meetups are pretty low key, I wouldn't worry about knowing everyone first.

The staff is amazing at keeping the common areas very neat and clean. The change in floral arrangements in the Read More main entryway is of the highlights of my wife's week. The concierge is always friendly and curteous and, along with office staffe, quite helpful. As for the apartment, there is nothing more we could ask for in a rental residence. Its quiet and we

Female suspects: They CAN hurt you!
We have all done it: felt way too relaxed when dealing with a female suspect. We're big, bad, tough cops right? Whether we are male or female, we often tend to let our guard down when dealing with a female. Male officers in particular are likely to think that a woman won't be able to hurt them. We are the ones in uniform — that makes us ten feet tall and bulletproof.
At least, that's what I thought. Let me take you back to a dark winter night on a desolate stretch of country road. I had pulled over an intoxicated driver, a lone female driver. I was all of 185 pounds, in shape, and I had an obnoxious 240 pound drunk country girl on my hands. The time came to take her into custody and you know how it sometimes goes downhill quickly? Well, the next thing I know, I'm getting jumped by this intoxicated woman. The first thoughts that ran through my mind were "I can't believe this is happening… I don't want to hurt her, she's a woman."
While I was preoccupied about "not hurting her" she commences to strike me a few times in the head and by the time I realized that I was indeed in a real fight, we were already rolling around in the bar ditch.
An intense 92 second fight incurred, complete with me screaming for back up on the radio. After I was able to get her pinned down, I still couldn't get her hands free from under her 240 pound frame. I finally managed to get them free and was able to handcuff her.
It was after I rolled her over and sat her up on her rear end that I saw it. There it was, lying on the ground where only seconds before her hands were in the same location: A .25 caliber Beretta handgun, chambered, cocked, with nothing but the safety on that had fallen out of her clothing.
I came within seconds of potentially losing my life because I had hesitated to use my training on a female suspect. Luckily, I survived and have never taken another female suspect's potential to hurt me for granted ever again.
Always remember a criminal that wants to hurt you can, no matter what gender they are. We are trained as police officer's to prepare for this, but until it actually does happen, the light switch in your head might not come on. So remember your training, always. Whether you are a young, new officer on the street or a seasoned, street hardened cop, don't think a suspect can't hurt you because of their gender. I look back now, despite all of the jokes from my buddies about getting my rear end "whooped" by a female, and I laugh about it too, but deep down I am glad that I am alive.
Stay safe out there and go home at the end of you shift.

Subjective Loudspeaker Testing for Accuracy
Discussions about subjective loudspeaker preferences often ignore the need for a rating scale to evaluate accuracy. Preferences and accuracy are different perceptual qualities. Accuracy relates to the degree to which a reproduced sound field is subjectively equivalent to a corresponding live presentation of the same source. There is no proof that preferences among different individuals will match accuracy.

Shelf Life
Hi all! My first post here. I am getting ready to make up my first "test" batch of bath salts, bath teas, and bath fizzies using some recipes from the luxury lane site. I say test batch because I am going to make more to sell at my community Spring festival. A friend told me she thought most of these items have a very short shelf life. Was wondering if anyone could give me any info about it. Thanks!
It kinda depends on what you add to them, but salt is a preservative just by itself, so I'd assume bath salts would last for quite a long time depending on what you added to them, and bath fizzies will last well over a year, again, depending on what you put in them (I don't use much of these, so I have them for a long time - that's how I know). Teas would just be dried herbs and ingredients, right? I'd imagine they'd last just as long mixed together as they would in separate containers on your kitchen shelf...
I personally think you'll be fine...best way to be sure is to make up a batch and store them - worst thing that will happen is you'll have to make more right before the show (which will happen if you don't make them early too)! :-)
Hi Blossom, I'v e never posted here before , Just found the place. But I've made goatmilk soaps and all the other bath products, for several years now, after a year of getting into the soaps and everything else I made, I decided to get out of the bath bombs, bath salts, etc. I have bath salts. made at least a year ago, they even have goatmilk powder in them, and they have not gone bad, color is still fine. and I also have lots of fizzy bath bombs still left over that are over a year old and are still fizzy. so I know they last a long time.
hope that helps you some.
I make the bath fizzes unscented, & store them in a container. I add scent & package as I need them for shows, orders etc. I just add oil to the back side of the fizzy, let it soak in/dry, then package as usual.
Bath teas I mix up in smaller batches, & store just as a mix till just before I need them, then bag & package.

Hedge funds are seeing less activity from the competing proprietary trading desks of investment banks, making it easier for them to capitalise on investment opportunities, according to Daniel Och, founder of Och-Ziff Capital Management. "The proprietary trading desks at banks are substantially less active," he told the Financial Times.
And as if on cue, the New York-based hedge fund manager has increased its stake in Australian Stock Exchange-listed private equity fund Babcock & Brown Capital from 4.76 per cent to just over 12 per cent, becoming its largest shareholder.
The move comes just after Babcock & Brown Capital received an unsolicited EUR95m bid from a consortium including Rob Topfer, a former executive of the fund's bankrupt sponsor, Babcock & Brown, who helped orchestrate the purchase of Irish telecoms provider Eircom in 2006. The company is also reported to have received a EUR100m approach from Singapore Technologies Telemedia.
Babcock & Brown Capital has rejected the offer from Topfer's TaemasBridge consortium, but Och-Ziff apparently believes that the Australian company, which also owns Israeli Golden Pages, is set to be the target of a bidding war. The fund has seen its value fall by 55 per cent over the past year, but Och-Ziff's newly-acquired shares are already reported to be in the money.

FootJoy Mens Contour Casual Spikeless Golf Shoe Closeouts 2 2
Tried and True I've tried some other brands that may look pretty cool, but I always come back to Footjoy for comfort and consistency April 15, 2014
Comfort is main reason for choosing these shoes. As I have gotten older, my feet were very sensitive to the grind of walking 18 holes. I tried the Contours and fell in love with the comfort and stress free feel of these shoes. After completing a round, my feet are as comfortable and stress free as before I started my round. If your looking for style, choose another shoe. If your looking for comfort and feeling great at the end of your round, these are the shoes for you. Worry about your game, not about whether you can finish the round because your feet are feeling tired and sore. Great shoe for the price and comfort. March 13, 2014

HELLO! Fashion, fashion and lifestyle magazine
Kanye West continues to follow Kim Kardashian's footsteps as he launches new fashion line
New dad Kanye West is set to launch a new fashion line, following in his girlfriend Kim Kardashian's footsteps.
The rapper's capsule collection collaboration with French brand A.P.C. will go on sale on 14 July.
The company announced the project on Twitter and gave a sneak peek of what's to come by posting a picture of a pair of jeans with a red tag that reads "A.P.C. Kanye."
The collection will include jeans, T-shirts and hoodies. The chic brand is best known for its Breton tees and well-cut basics.
Kanye has admitted that his own fashion line wasn't hugely successful but learnt from the experience. "I tried to come out of the gate going crazy. And it didn't work," he said. "So now I have to somehow put out something that says, 'I look sensible!'"
The Gold Digger hitmaker has been credited with Kim's improved sense of style since they first got together and he has praised her for her bold sartorial moves.
"Nobody can tell my girl what to do," he says. "She just needed to be given some platforms of information to work from."
"For her to take that risk in front of the world, it just shows you how much she loves me. And how much she actually loves the opportunity to learn."
Kanye has had previous success with other collaborations including Air Yeezys for Nike and work with Carhartt.
He also unveiled his foray into women's fashion with his Dw line at Paris Fashion Week having spent the last few months in the city recording his new album Yeezus.
Kim, who is the mother to their baby daughter North West, is also an established name in the fashion business.
The reality TV star is a founder of D-A-S-H boutiques which has shops in LA, New York and Miami.
Kim and her sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian also have a collection, K-DASH, which aims to make 'celebrity style accessible to every woman.'
