No5 brings together the strongest and most extensive team of practitioners in this area. Once instructed we are dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for the officer, regardless of obstacle.
We believe that Officers and the Federation should demand the highest level of representation. Many of our team are QC's or senior juniors. Even the most junior member will enjoy an established reputation for excellence in other disciplines before they are offered. It is our belief that this is an area that demands expertise as well as ability and enthusiasm.
Although members have regularly worked in cases involving the Metropolitan Police it is the Constabularies up and down the country that our reputation for strong but sensible representation has been grown with care. It is our experience that our approach of attacking the merits of the case, rather than standing on ceremony, is one that finds favour with any tribunal; be it a jury or a Chief Constable.
We have experience not only at first instance hearings but also on appeal. We have a determination never to give up on a case, and share experience in pursuing cases to highest level of appeal if needs be to achieve the correct result.
As a result team members are instructed in the highest profile cases nationwide. All team members have a strong and accomplished background in advocacy as a pre requisite.
We provide expertise at every level of the Disciplinary, Coronial and Criminal process.
Disciplinary work
We can provide expert and rapid written or oral advice to meet the time constraints of any hearing. All members have extensive experience in contesting Panel hearings, and then if needs be appealing the decision up to the Police Appeals Tribunal or beyond to achieve the correct outcome.
Coronial work
We have specialists who conduct the most high profile of Inquests. Recent examples include a fatality from a firearms training exercise, fatalities arising out of acts on duty where the officers are being personally criticised, numerous deaths in custody, and an officer himself implicated with homicide.
Criminal work
We understand that no case is too small if the officer is at risk. We represent officers in the Magistrates Court as a matter of course, and provide elite representation up to the highest level when allegations such as rape, murder, and misconduct in public office are made.

Barcelona is a banquet for all the senses, though perhaps mainly for sight. Not far behind are the pleasures of the palate. The air temperature is almost always about right, more and more streets are pedestrianized, and tavern after tavern burrows elegantly into medieval walls. Every now and then the fragrance of the sea in the port or in Barceloneta reminds you that this is, after all, a giant seaport and beach city, with an ancient Mediterranean tradition that is, at the outset of its third millennium, flourishing—and bewitching visitors as it has for centuries. Today new architecture and design—including some of Europe's hottest new fashions in hip boutiques—provide the city with an exciting effervescent edge.

Perfect for marker layouts and renderings!
This lightweight, specially-coated paper from COPIC is specifically designed for brilliant renditions by alcohol-based markers! The thin 70gsm (~20lb) paper is semi-transparent, allowing you to trace over images and make renderings while referencing an original sketch, and the special bleed-proof paper coating means the marker ink won't soak through and stain the sheets below. The coating also ensures that less ink is wasted during the creative process, as colors sit up on top of the paper instead of soaking in, making for vibrant colors and sharp lines.

Spurs shoot for continued success against CelticsJan 22, 2007 - 3:23 PM San Antonio (29-13) at Boston (12-27) 7:30 pm EST
BOSTON (Ticker) -- One of the NBA's most-storied franchises, the Boston Celtics are not what they used to be. The San Antonio Spurs certainly have taken advantage.
The Spurs look to continue their dominance of the Celtics when the teams square off in Boston on Monday.
San Antonio has won its last 17 meetings with Boston, the NBA's longest current streak for one team against another. The Spurs, who have posted 11 of those wins by at least 10 points, have not tasted defeat against the Celtics since January 8, 1997.
Even more impressive, the Spurs have not lost at home to the Celtics in 16 games since a setback on February 14, 1990.
The Spurs rolled to their sixth win in eight games on Sunday, a 99-85 triumph at Philadelphia.
Brent Barry scored 23 points off the bench and Tim Duncan added 17 points and 15 rebounds for San Antonio, which had dropped five of its six previous contests at the Wachovia Center.
One of the NBA's winningest franchises, Boston currently is mired in a season-high seven-game skid and continues to struggle without leading scorer Paul Pierce, who has missed the last 15 games with an injured left foot.
The Celtics hope to bounce back from Saturday's heartbreaking 115-110 overtime loss at Washington. Ryan Gomes had a career-high 31 points and nine rebounds while rookie Allan Ray scored 20 points off the bench for the Celtics.

Bangalore, Jul 27: Sri Lanka batsman and wicket-keeper Kumar Sangakkara believes playing at home will give his side added inspiration to win the ICC World Twenty20 2012.
Speaking to ICC Cricket 360°TM, the ICC's new weekly multi-platform show produced by IMG (part of IMG Worldwide), Sangakkara said knowledge of home conditions will be added advantage for the event in September, a media release from ICC stated.
"I think we have got some great players. Whoever makes that the final squad will be the best available players to make up the combination to help us win the ICC World Twenty20. Knowing our conditions, playing at home is going to be an added buzz and an added inspiration," says Sangakkara.
However, Sangakkara thinks preparation for the tournament is going to be the key for Sri Lanka during the tournament.
"Preparation is going to be very important. Then it becomes less of a lottery and more about performing consistently. Of course T20 changes in a matter of a couple of deliveries and an over here or there can shift momentum or you can also lose your game," he said.
Sangakkara, who, along with Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene, shows off their restaurant in Colombo in the latest edition of the ICC Cricket 360°TM show, admits he feels lucky to have played in an era in which his team has done well both home and away.
"Playing two ICC Cricket World Cup finals and an ICC World Twenty20 final has been incredible," said Sangakkara.
Jayawardene echoed Sangakkara's views as he credits the spirit in Sri Lanka team for all the success in the last decade.
ICC World Twenty20 2012 will get under way on September 18 and goes on till October 7.

Justin Bieber Gossip
Justin Bieber gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Wenn, Splash
Justin Bieber was at Roberto Cavalli's party last night in Cannes. Coincidence? I mentioned them in the same post yesterday – click here for a refresher. He did not take his shirt off, at least not on the boat. He was there, however, because there were a lot of models invited, including Barbara Palvin. Full Story
The hottest guy in Cannes
Crystal/ Splash
I didn't think it could get any sexier in Cannes than Roberto Cavalli on a Segway. Please appreciate: But then Justin Bieber came this year and decided he would take his shirt off as often as possible since Matthew McConaughey doesn't do that anymore. Full Story
Leo & Bieber in Cannes
Leonardo DiCaprio has no official reason to be in Cannes. Actually that's not true. His official reason for being in Cannes is To Party. Always. Because it never gets old for him. Year after year, the yachts, the cheesy Euro clubs, the dance beats, the spraying of champagne all over model tits, this never gets old. Full Story
Pull down your pants
Lower! Justin Bieber went horseback riding yesterday. He had to take his shirt off. Then, when he dismounted, he had to make sure his pants weren't hitched up too high. High meaning normal, like, hip level. Hip level is too high. The pants must be low enough to see pube. Full Story
The perfect son
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Justin Bieber took his ma to the Clippers game for Mother's Day yesterday. Apparently they booed him when he moved to kiss her. It didn't deter him. He gave one of his best performances in a long time. And by best, I mean that he was the least annoying that he's been in a long time. Full Story
"Did you bring any crack to smoke?"
According to The Toronto Star this is what Justin Bieber said to Rob Ford on March 15 when they ran into each other at a club in Toronto. It's the little punk vs the buffoon, insolence vs ignorance, brat vs bonehead. And Ford's reaction? He supposedly became "enraged" and had to be hustled back to his booth where he spent the rest of the night hanging out with three paid party hostesses and allegedly doing rails in the bathroom. Full Story
On different coasts
FameFlynet, JDH Imagez/ Splash
Taylor Swift did not show at Coachella. She spent time in New York instead. At her new apartment. Making an appearance on SNL. And hanging with all her model friends like Karlie Kloss. Also, Lena Dunham was papped leaving her building yesterday. Her ex-BFF Selena Gomez meanwhile continues to spend time with Kanye West's fiance's family. Full Story
Miami dancing?
Selena Gomez was seen in Miami arriving at a studio to visit Justin Bieber. There he is opening the door for her. I'm impressed this is still going on. Seriously. I thought it would be maybe six months of on and off. At their age, they should be able to work it out of their systems in that amount of time. Full Story
Taylor & Selena break up
FameFlynet, Splash
Well this isn't news. I mean they haven't been together in a long time, not even at the Vanity Fair Oscar party which they both attended and decided not to pose together. Later on, Selena tweeted about hanging out with Vanessa Hudgens and something to the effect of "she's the only party favour I need". Full Story
Baby and his Most Elegant Princess
See, this is the kind of video I prefer. I don't want to watch deposition video of Justin Bieber being a sh-t to a lawyer. I would rather watch him in a dance studio with Selena Gomez, his "Most Elegant Princess" doing a corny move-by-move interpretation of John Legend's Ordinary People. Full Story
The Justin Bieber tapes
FameFlynet, Corbis/ Splash
I'm not sure it's a good idea for you to watch these on a Monday morning. I'm not sure it's a good idea to show you something that will make you violent on a Monday morning. So maybe don't watch if you have an important meeting coming up? Or a client lunch later on? Justin Bieber is infuriating at the best of times. Full Story

An events executive is anyone who is either in charge of or assists in the planning of an event. Event executives plan anything from sports events to concerts to conventions to important meetings to banquets. They need to figure out the logistics and costs of running an event and communicate all aspects needed to the hiring party.
Events executives hire and organize everyone needed to help stage an event. That includes security guards, concession stand workers, ushers and people to help set up and clean when an event is finished. Sometimes, events executives handle marketing duties, and sometimes they handle the marketing themselves. Other times, they aren't involved in marketing at all, depending on the size and scope of the event they are organizing. Events executives often do much of the legwork themselves, making sure banners, signs, food and workers are all in place.
Events executives need to be highly organized and feel comfortable delegating to employees. They need to have a firm grasp of how everyone's duties are performed and be able to assist in the various departments in a pinch. They also should be analytical, flexible and able to solve problems on the fly, as issues can often arise during the course of an event. It's up to the events executive to make sure the issue is quickly resolved without disturbing the occasion. Most events executives must possess decent math skills, because they frequently must stay within a budget.
There are no set guidelines to become an events executive. Many have either an associate's or bachelor's degree with a focus on courses in public relations, communications, business, marketing and administration. Others obtain certification obtained through various organizations centered around planning and staging events, although certification is rarely a requirement. Most have had prior experience working at events in some form, either as ushers or at the ticket window.
Opportunities for events executives will fluctuate based on the industry in which they work and the different types of events they can organize. That said, overall, jobs should be good through the next decade. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of events executives will increase by 16 percent from 2008 to 2018, or faster than average than all other occupations.
Events executives earned anywhere from just less than $30,000 to more than $45,000 per year in April 2010, according to PayScale. Again, much of those figures were based largely on industry and the executive's experience. Also, the BLS reported that events executives in the management, scientific and consulting services industries earned up to $49,600 per year in May 2008.

That's awesome! I wish I could have a full family snap of my family but my family is all back in Australia :( But I have some old ones I keep on my wall at work.

Although his Michigan State Spartans won the 1988 Rose Bowl, George Perles tends to be remembered most for the way he left as Spartans coach in 1994: With an 0-11 record after NCAA sanctions reversed his team's five victories.
The NCAA found Perles "not culpable" in the school's grade-tampering scandal, but he was fired anyway.
Now, Perles is ready to launch his comeback, according to the Ann Arbor News.
As what? Governor of Michigan. No kidding.
At 74, Perles said Tuesday he may run for that office in 2010, on a platform of lowering business taxes and boosting the state's economy.
"I think it's a challenge," he said. "Maybe I can make a difference."
We suggest that if Perles wants to prove he can make a difference, he should start with the Detroit Lions.

If you want to add a warning message on a substitution-only template, when the template has not been substituted, to substitute it, you can do so through the following:
<includeonly>{{subst:</includeonly><includeonly>null|'''Have to subst this template. Replace {{templatenamehere}} with {{subst:templatenamehere}}'''}}</includeonly>
This leaves an ugly line of red-coloured large-sized text stating that you forgot to subst the template "templatenamehere" (replace that string with the name of your template)
This implementation requires the existence of template:null on your wiki of the same implementation as that found at w:c:templates:template:null, so copy that to your wiki. Alternately, you can copy wikipedia:en:template:void instead, and replace the instance of "null" with "void".
If you need instruction on how to copy that template off w:c:templates, please read w:c:templates:Help:How to copy templates to your wiki

Hi. Pre-sales question
I see the icons WhatsApp and Vk. Means that users can social share via their Vk and WhatsApp accounts?
Please – ask your question to customer support. https://studio76.pro/support
is it IOS9 ready?
yes ready
But it haven't updated since 2014 – lots of things change.
Can you upload here the latest code you have?
Placegram uses methods that have not been updated in new SDK.
Guys, your "support" system is an utter, total mess:
- I am chasing you since months now, asking how to configure the "social share" in Placegram, with useless answers. Your support lady says "its all setup", which is nonsense. It's YOUR link setup for Facebook and Twitter, I guess you understand that want to change that to MY link !? for Instagram and WhatsApp, nothing happens when clicked o that link in the app. Can you enlighten me where to configure both?
- your support URL constantly throws a 404
- password you sent me 2 weeks ago now show "Invalid email or password"
"Room for improvement everywhere" – and that is a vERY friendly statement…...... if you get my message ?
So, how can I finally get a proper answer:
- how to setup ALL "social share links" – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp (VK is the only mentioned in your doc) ?
As the credentials you sent me don't work again on your "support" website, please just take the above and send me an answer by email to my registered ap.thst[at]gmail.com. I REALLY need a fast and proper answer now.
Thanks for your kindness…...
Answers in support. If we do not answer for a long time for good reason, consider the human factor. Maybe I moved the train. Or do you think I'm 24 hours a day at the computer? I'm sorry but I'm also a human being and I are personal problems, which I do not owe you an to report. Thank you.
Nobody will understand what you say, but never mind.
Can you provide a proper answer?
- how to setup ALL "social share links" – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp
Thanks AGAIN
No configuration needs to be done
Unzip, run, playhttps://monosnap.com/file/ziZVoMF3UhtKT1eSWqVe3REBijQHEu

Puffy have announced some of the merchandise they'll have available on the "All Because of Live" tour coming up next month. Ok, anybody in Japan want to pick me up some of these pins? Supposedly some of them are autographed!
They'll also have a bag available, which I don't care about but maybe some of you do - you can see it on the staff blog (modeled by Ms. Yumi) here. I wonder about the tour shirts...
I'll be doing what I did last tour - and what I plan to do for all tours - and round up the various show reports I find around the net. I know, you're wondering why I don't do this for all the festival and one-off shows too. Truth is there usually just aren't that many for those shows, and it kinda doesn't seem enough to justify a post on. Plus, I'm lazy. But I'll do it for the full tours, where I can make a more fleshed-out single post out of all the various reports.
"All Because of Live" is a mini-tour, though, so I may add a few of the festival shows onto my show review roundup as they come in too. I'll be starting on July 8. CONTINUED >>

Ami's Brian Setzer Hot Rod Guitar
I posted in the midst of a drunken stupor a while back about Puffy's guitars - they really can play, you know. (Who am I still trying to convince?) Well, I didn't even realize I had this video - this is Ami showing off her Gretsch Brian Setzer Hot Rod to Setzer himself. She says she bought it because it's so beautiful, even though it's too big for her.
And what the heck, even though it's not my favorite song, I've left their performance of "Tokyo I'm On My Way" tacked on afterwards.
I like how soft-spoken Setzer is; he even sounds a little nervous! The guy's a legend and he acts like that. Sounds like he's even trying his hand at a little Japanese at the beginning of the clip.
By the way, you too can own a purple Gretsch G6120SH Brian Setzer Hot Rod guitar, for the reasonable sum of just $2,450. CONTINUED >>

Puffy on Taiwanese TV?
Unfortunately, not the real Puffy, but a pretty funny parody of them - in a "so bad, it's good" sort of way. And if nothing else, this proves that Japan has no monopoly on cheesy talk shows. In fact, I don't think I've heard so many things go "boing!", "whoop!" and "splat!" in probably the last 30 years. That's some old-school comedy.
Credit to PuffySaidGo! for finding this. It's been up for 8 months already and only has 32 views!
I have a feeling the people playing Puffy got confused as to who was supposed to be who. (I say "people", not "girls" because that would be inaccurate.) You'll see why. The one playing "Yumi" is actually kinda cute, though.
The actual Puffy segment starts playing at about the 1:50 mark, but I think it's worth watching the whole thing.
Kind of unfortunate how it cuts off right in the middle, eh? Oh well.
btw, I'd never seen the video for the Chinese version of "Kore ga watashi no ikirumichi" before - fun to see the real Ami and Yumi both wearing New York Rangers jackets. CONTINUED >>

Where's Honeycreeper?
Just throwing this out there. Maybe I'm just impatient, I don't know. But it was in October of last year - eight months ago - that a US release of honeycreeper was first officially hinted at. In November, I received an email about their US tour signed by Epic Records - their once and future US record label. Ami and Yumi themselves more or less confirmed a 2008 release on that same tour, telling fans at the US shows to watch for the album this year.
Well, it's June, and no further word has been heard. The goodwill from those US shows - intended to help promote the album - has probably faded by now. Meanwhile, PUFFY are obviously busy gearing up for a new album as they release a series of summer singles. My guess is that the new album will hit Japan right around October-November, as it did last year. That leaves them a very short window to promote any US release of honeycreeper, as they'll no doubt be busy touring in support of their new album in Japan after its release. It would also just seem strange for them to be splitting time promoting a brand new album in one territory and a year-old album in another.
Did something happen in between that US tour and now? Is the US honeycreeper release now off the table? I really don't know, and I wish I did. I do know one thing - Puffy and Girlie Action, their US publicity agency, parted ways a while back. That's not a good sign. I haven't been able to figure out to this point who, if anybody, is currently representing them.
Of course, Puffy's US releases have always been kind of irregular, and if they're not planning to actively promote the album here, they may still just be taking their sweet time. Heck, they could even dump honeycreeper and whatever the new album's called into US stores on the same day and call it done. I obviously don't think that would be a very effective strategy, but it's only so thin that Puffy, their staff and their allotted budget are going to be able to spread themselves these days.
Every day that goes by without an announcement, though, causes me to lose a little more hope. CONTINUED >>

Puffy Site Refresh
These site refreshes are coming so fast these days that I almost can't keep up anymore. They've moved on quickly from "All Because of You", haven't they? Especially considering it's almost two months until the release of "My Story". Even their US site is behind!
New imagery for a new single. Which apparently features lipstick for some reason. Hmmmm, I wonder why... Oh, that's right - it's an ad for a cosmetics manufacturer.
I know, I'm a little jaded. I'm getting old. Must everything be an ad these days?
If I come across this TV ad anywhere, I'll post it. Not sure if it's out yet. Nobody's uploaded it anywhere yet that I can find. I'll keep looking.
UPDATE: Puffy have posted a very large version of that new photo on their MySpace page for download to your collection. It's so large that the Photoshop compositing is a little too obvious, but they still look as good as you'd expect given the copious use of high quality Kanebo cosmetic products :) CONTINUED >>

Who are PUFFY fans? YouTube will tell us!
Preface: take this with the proverbial grain of salt. It's interesting, but by no means definitive. This is not a scientific survey; use for entertainment purposes only.
YouTube has begun providing some pretty detailed stats to video uploaders. They didn't used to have this; when you uploaded a video, you kinda just had to guess who was watching it based on the number of comments and the kind comments you were getting. Then they added the "linked sites" feature, so you could at least see how many people were linking to a video from an external site and how many clicks were coming from there. But now, they've got this "Insight" feature that shows a whole host of stats and demographics of people watching your videos. Some of these stats are based on IP address, so they should be pretty accurate. Some are based on what people say when they sign up for their account, so they're probably not accurate at all.
I am not a huge uploader, but I've put up a few Puffy videos to help illustrate some posts here, if nobody else has posted a video I wanted to use first. Pretty much all I upload are Puffy-related videos (ok, and some videos of the July 4th NYC fireworks a couple years ago, which have been watched by about four people). So all I need to do is look at my overall account stats to see who is watching my videos and get a snapshot of the current state of Puffy fandom. Read on to see what kind of people your fellow fans are.
I don't make it easy to find my videos. You can't just stumble across them. I only really want to embed them here, so I don't really care who finds them on YouTube itself. So the people who watch my videos are actively seeking them out, one way or another; they're the hardcore fans. Still, most of my videos have at least several thousand views, so the sample is not overly small.
This is what YouTube is telling me about Puffy fans:
First, overall my videos are around 10 times more popular in Japan than they are in the United States. No other country even really registers.
Overall gender split
Male: 64%
Female: 36%
Age range for both genders
0-18: 23%
18-25: 8%
25-35: 12%
35-45: 22%
45-55: 28%(!)
55-65: 7%
Interestingly, the age breakdown between male and female is pretty different. These numbers won't add up to 100 - YouTube divides them as percentage of the total. (So you need to add both male and female together to get 100.)
Age range for males
0-18: 11%
18-25: 4%
25-35: 6%
35-45: 17%
45-55: 21%
55-65: 5%
Age range for females
0-18: 13%
18-25: 4%
25-35: 5%
35-45: 6%
45-55: 7%
55-65: 1%
The largest percentage of males is age 45-55, while the largest percentage of females is under 18. That's not something I would have predicted. I can drill down by country too, and maybe not surprisingly most of the teenage girls are coming from the United States (where the "HiHi" cartoon was aimed at that demographic).
In fact, here's an interesting juxtaposition:
US gender split
Male: 60%
Female: 40%
Japan gender split
Male: 69%
Female: 31%
The percentage of teenage girls coming from Japan is only around 3%, while in the United States, it's 20%. Clearly, Puffy's overall audience in Japan is older than in the United States... though the age difference is concentrated on one gender (females). Additionally, they just have more female fans in the US than in Japan, where their main audience seems to be mostly men around the same age as (or slightly older than) Ami and Yumi themselves. They seem to just have an extra set of new female fans under 18 in the US that just doesn't exist in Japan. Of course, I don't know the overall internet gender split in Japan, so maybe there are just more guys on the internet there. (In the US, the split is right around 50/50.) And they still have way more fans overall at home than they do here.
I do think it's interesting that despite all the younger- and female-skewing marketing around the "HiHi" show, still a majority of their US fans seem to be older males. Hey, I'm in that male 35-45 bracket myself (on the lower end!).
I may as well mention again that people do lie on web site registrations, and maybe Americans lie more than Japanese. (I have no proof of that, it just fits the stereotype.) So either all or just one side of these numbers could be way off.
In terms of actual video views, there aren't a lot of surprises. They rank like this (these are just the videos I've posted, and YouTube only lists the top 10):
1. Asia no Junshin Live
2. Music Lover's Medley
3. Music Fighter 01/12/08
4. Destruction Pancake
5. Basket Case Live
6. Hey! Hey! Hey! 500th episode special
7. Nantettatte Idol
8. Beef
9. Circuit no Musume '08
10. Akai Buranko
You can probably predict that Basket Case is a little higher ranked in the US than in Japan (it's #4), and the Music Lover's Medley is about 10% higher in Japan than in the US (though still #2). Nantettatte Idol also ranks higher in Japan - it's #6. Of course, some of these rankings would probably be different if I didn't obfuscate the titles and I added better tags. I purposely don't do that, because you never know what's going to attract a DMCA takedown request these days. The age of clips also plays a role, with older clips accumulating views over time, although most views seem to come when a clip is first posted. I also pretty firmly believe that the thumbnail photo of the video makes a big difference - both of the top two videos in that list have nice, clear close-ups of Yumi singing. Unfortunately, YouTube only lets you choose between three thumbnail images, and sometimes it just doesn't pick any good ones.
Generally, though, it seems like the video views for the ones I've posted are pretty much what I'd have predicted - the older stuff is more popular in general, the more obscure stuff is more popular in Japan and the cover of an American song is more popular in the US.
So what can we learn from this? Well, I dunno. It's not like I'm posting this with an agenda, I just love statistics.
But I do think that it's possible their US record label might be a little surprised by the age and gender breakdowns, and I know I was surprised that male fans in Japan outnumber females by more than 2:1. So, you know, take that for whatever it's worth.

PUFFY on PopJam
Aaaand, we're back. Sorta. My house guests have moved on; hopefully I haven't missed any big Puffy news over the past few days. (I threw that single announcement up in about five minutes on my way out to Coney Island the other day.)
Anyway, here's a somewhat random video to celebrate my return. It's Puffy on PopJam from a year or so ago. The performance of "Hataraku Otoko" was posted previously on YouTube by somebody else, but they had cut the little interview that came afterwards for some reason. I've now restored it. And the commercials too! (Ok, you don't care about those, but I just didn't bother cutting them out.)
I know, it's not much, but it's something.

New Single Announced
Seems like only a couple weeks since "All Because of You" hit the streets, but PUFFY's already announced a new single.
August 6 - 2006 "My Story"
There will be a special edition with a DVD - Volume 2 of the Shibuya AX honeysweeper tour show - as well as a regular edition again.
No other details yet at the moment. The original Japanese title is in katakana, so it's probably going to be sung in Japanese.
UPDATE: The song is written by the Merrymakers, with lyrics by Puffy. CONTINUED >>

PUFFY Sales Numbers
Credit to TBB at the Puffyamiyumiworld.com forum for this; he did the work of finding it and initially compiling it into a readable list (actually someone else - see the comments below). I just cleaned it up a little here. I've looked on Oricon's web site and I can't figure out how the hell to extract this, although it's gotta be in there somewhere. Anyway, I figured not all of you read the forums and this is definitely some interesting info.

It's possible amiyumi actually sold 1,892,000, not 892,000, although I'd believe either number, really. But the way the data was originally formatted makes it look like there should be another number there. The lower figure matches up better with the single sales numbers, though.
At first glance, it's a pretty depressing drop-off over the years, although you can see that they've come back a bit since the ridiculous sales of 59. Talk about a future collector's item! And if Splurge - as great as it was - only managed to sell 19,000 copies, then honeycreeper's probably about where it should be. But both seem like they should be a lot higher.
Thing is, do people even really buy CD's anymore? First of all, as far as I know, this chart doesn't count downloads or ring tones or anything of that sort. Music has become such a multimedia business these days that, as CD sales have dropped across the board (not just for Puffy), a lot of artists have made up for it in other ways. And the music still finds its way out there and into public consciousness.
Second, Ami and Yumi have become sort of general celebrities over the years, known to a younger generation less for their music than for their modeling or their commercial endorsements or their TV appearances. So they've managed to keep themselves in the limelight in ways that don't rely on their musical talents.
Third, this is not a chart of worldwide sales, which would be no less interesting. Oh, I doubt their US or Chinese sales are going to amount to a whole lot, but the US is a big country - HiHi might have done quadruple its Japan sales here. Even Nice might have done double.
I think we'd all like to see PUFFY selling a million copies of their latest album again, but let's face it: probably not gonna happen. "Puffy mania" was a fad that ran its course from about 1996-1999, and now they've settled in to sales figures that are probably a bit more natural for the type of band that they are. And they're definitely out of that downright scary period of 03-04. No wonder they gave up the indie rock look!
Oh, by the way - little heads up. I'll be entertaining guests over the next few days, so you may not see another post for a little while. Or you may, you just never know. CONTINUED >>

Dublin woman raped by vicious husband gives harrowing statement in court
This is the victim impact statement given by a Dublin woman who was brutally attacked by her hammer-wielding husband, who was also convicted of marital rape, in front of their four-year-old son.
"All of the crimes both individually and collectively have had a devastating and long lasting impact on me and (my son), who is 6 now.
"I have tried my best in this victim impact statement to put into words the effect on me and (my son) of the threats, rape and violent assault.
"Spending a significant proportion of my life with (the accused), living together and importantly having a child together makes the impact of these crimes so much more devastating and harder to come to terms with.
"From the time our relationship was breaking down there was a slow build-up of threatening, controlling and abusive behaviour. From May 2014, the threat to cause me serious harm and to kill me combined with my every move being tracked made me absolutely terrified.
"Trying to keep life as normal as possible for (my son) and in the beginning not telling anyone what was going on, thinking I could find a way to solve the unsolvable, left me in a complete state of confusion and turmoil.
"The night of the 25th May, when I was raped and threatened with a knife will stay with me forever.
"From the moment I walked in the hall door and saw (the accused), I knew I had got things terribly wrong, his complete insistence and entitlement to me and (my son) no matter what.
"The complete terror I felt when he took out the knife. I knew there was nothing I could do to stop him. That is one of the hardest things to live with. The rape left me with a complete sense of powerlessness, like everything of me had been taken away from me.
"Being raped has affected every piece of me, it went to the core of myself, I felt so broken and for a long time angry with myself for what I saw as 'letting it happen'. The terror (the accused) continued to put me through during that never ending night, the constant threats, instilled a level of fear that I never knew I could feel.
"It is always that night with (the accused) standing over me saying 'you better be telling me the truth' that comes back to me in my nightmares, there have been many nights over the past two years that I purposefully tried not to sleep as it was far better than waking up drenched in sweat and terrified. My sleep pattern has never recovered since that night.
"Deciding to make the statement on the rape was so difficult because it meant admitting to myself what had happened. It took me 5 months to report it to the guards and I couldn't have done it on my own. Knowing that I was safe as he was in custody, the support of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre and critically because of the support provided by the investigating guards since the assault of the 7th August, my trust and confidence in how it would be dealt with and in the criminal process had grown. Yet still I found the word rape so hard to use in relation to me.
"The realisation in August that nothing was going to stop him, court orders and guards didn't make any difference. The impact of the threats, hearing and then seeing the absolute determination of (the accused) to kill me, will always stay with me. His cold determination and focus was so clear on 7th August when he kept hitting me with the hammer, even when other people came.
"I remember trying to pull him away from my mam and seeing blood all down her face. My memory of being repeatedly hit on the ground with people all around me still leaves me with a feeling of terror. The level of violence shown to me and my mam on that day completely changed my outlook on life.
"It broke a whole sense of security surrounding my life that I never knew was even there. I will never forget, before I went unconscious, looking down at the door of the room where (my son) was sleeping and thinking whatever happens now don't come out, don't see this, I believed in that moment I was going to die. I know if it wasn't for the actions of (a passer-by) I may not be alive. All my family will be forever grateful to him.
"The psychological impact of that day cannot be erased, I can never comfort myself when I feel afraid now, that a terrible thing will never happen, nothing is impossible now. A critical impact on me has been a loss of trust and belief in myself. I lost trust in my own judgement and my ability to make decisions, I was constantly questioning my own instinct - it is very hard to describe what it's like not to trust your own gut instinct.
"Constantly asking myself - how could I not see this coming, completely underestimating (the accused's) reaction to separating, how would anyone believe me, how and why didn't I prevent particularly the rape, and going through all of the questions again in the course of the trial, that I had asked myself so much over the last 2 years.
"Despite the reassurances from very supportive friends, guards and other professionals it is a long road to overcome and really believe in myself again. While everything in my head rationally knows that I have absolutely no responsibility for each and every one of these crimes, it's a very different thing to feel it and believe it. I am one and a half years in counselling and I am not there yet. It's still a very conscious effort and struggle.
"Hearing the verdict to the charge of rape really brought that home, the absolute relief I felt that I had been believed. Over the past two years I have struggled with staying in the moment, at home with (my son) and in work, - the smallest thing can bring the events back. While I know I am function well, being the best mam I can be and doing my job well, it continues to be a very conscious effort.
"There hasn't been one day where I haven't thought about what has happened. That effort can be exhausting, there are days I wish so much that I could just turn it off for a while.
"The four bail hearings, (including District and High Court) and the very lengthy trial process intensified that constant reliving, particularly of the rape and the assault as I felt I had to keep going back over the events and it also my increased sense of fear as I continually worry what will happen to me and (my son) on his release. Even now with (the accused) having been found guilty, I still feel a deep level of fear of what will happen in the future.
"The impact on my relationship with my parents is significant as I went to their house on the 26th of May and on the 7th August to be safe. I continue to feel very responsible for changing their lives utterly and bringing violence and fear to their home. I feel particularly for my mam who has not been the same the assault yet has always been a constant support to me and (my son). I know all my family have been affected by the events.
"The immediate impact on (my son) after 6th and 7th of August, was that he had nightmares, he wanted to be with me and know where I was all the time, this meant letting him know if I was going into a different room in the house or upstairs. He would never go to asleep for anyone but me. Slowly that anxiety passed. But days before the trial he received a card from (his father), he was very upset and asked if (his father) was going to hurt: me and nanny again.
"His anxiety and all the symptoms returned and I realised how deep rooted the impact was on him and how it can easily be triggered. How does a child grow up and cope with knowing his father harmed his mother so badly, to use a knife and hammer, to rape her. (My son) finds it very hard now to understand how his dad could hurt his mum and his granny. He is conflicted by his own feelings towards (his father). (My son) also has an acute awareness of when I am anxious and worried. I don't know what the long term impact on (my son) will be, but I worry so much about it and trying to adapt to and negate it as much as possible will always be a constant feature of our lives.
"I will continue to use all the professional support around me to give (my son) the most secure and happy environment in which to thrive. But I wish he wasn't faced with this - no child should have to come to terms with these horrendous circumstances. All of these events have changed me and for a while, I wanted to go back to be the person I was, to find this 'closure' that so many people have spoken to me about.
"With support, I have stopped doing that now, what has happened is part of who I am now and has changed my perspective on life, particularly with regard to mine and (my son's) safety and security which was always be a feature of our lives. But this experience and these events don't define me, the inner strength and courage that I found, which kept me alive during some of those horrendous events and sustained me up to and during this trial, gives me and (my son) a strong foundation for living very positive and happy lives."
Case details
The 46-year-old victim, who was beaten by her husband with a hammer, has thanked a passer-by who set his dog on the man and chased him off.
The woman said that before going unconscious she feared she was going to be murdered in front of her four year old son after seeing the "absolute determination" of her husband to kill her.
She made the remarks during the sentence hearing of her husband, who was convicted last June at the Central Criminal Court of raping and threatening to kill his wife over a three-month period after refusing to accept their marriage was over.
It was only the third conviction of rape within a marriage since marital rape was made illegal in 1990.
The 42-year-old man had his barrister read a letter of apology to the court for the hammer attack but made no reference to the rape or other charges. He said he was "utterly reckless" and blamed the "alienation, humiliation and emasculation" he said he suffered during the break-down of their relationship.
Defence counsel Padraig Dwyer SC said his client was judged to be at a low risk of committing future violence and that he was ashamed of his actions.
Mary Rose Gearty SC, prosecuting, contested this, saying the accused had made phone calls from prison to his wife which showed he "does not have a positive attitude towards her". The court heard she is terrified of him getting out of prison.
Today, he was remanded in continuing custody until July 25 when Ms Justice Isobel Kennedy will impose sentence.
In June, at the Central Criminal Court, a jury of eleven men and one woman convicted him of raping his wife in their home in May, 2014 and of threatening to cut her face . He was also convicted of threatening to kill the woman the next day over the phone.
He had already pleaded guilty to attempting to cause serious harm to the woman and of assaulting her mother on August 7, 2014 during the hammer attack outside the mother's Dublin home.
The victim's ordeal began at the start of 2014 when she told her husband of nine years that she wanted a separation.
Their marriage had been under strain for some time. The man was jealous of the woman's successful career and believed she wasn't spending enough time at home. He was also unhappy she was still breast-feeding their child up to two years of age.
Ms Gearty said he took the proposed separation "very badly". On one occasion the woman returned home to find the man had poured petrol over the living room where he sat smoking cigarettes as their child slept upstairs.
On May 25, 2014 they were arguing when he picked up a carving knife and threatened to cut her face open. He then told her "right, upstairs". He followed her up and said the gardai would never arrive on time if she called them.
He raped her in the spare bedroom while telling her to open her eyes and insisting they weren't separating.
The next day she went to the Family Court and obtained a interim barring order. She did not disclose the rape until five months later because she couldn't bring herself to admit it, she said.
Shortly after she obtained the barring order the man rang her at her parent's home and told her she was dead.
In the following weeks the woman realised her husband was tracking her phone and knew her location at all times. On one day in early June he followed her to her work, a supermarket and their son's crèche and said that next time he would bring a hammer.
On August 6, he rang her at home and said he was going to "end things tonight". The next day he showed up at her parents' house, demanding to see their son.
The woman and her mother refused to let him in. He said he had a present for the boy in his car and returned with a hammer.
He attacked both women before passers-by intervened. His wife lost consciousness at one stage and was covered in blood afterwards. Both victims suffered lacerations.
A passer-by set his dog on the accused who swung the hammer at them. This man then chased the accused away and gardai found him nearby hiding behind a jeep.
Ms Gearty said at one stage the accused blamed "black magic" and "the occult" for the hammer attack. He said during interview it was out of character for him.
Mr Dwyer said his client will find prison very difficult as a foreign national who is far away from his family. He said the accused was going through a depressive episode at the time and suffered greatly by being separated from his son.

Our family enjoyed our week at this beautiful home. The house had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for 12 of us and it was nice to have the downstairs for the kids. Erik the owner was quick to got back to me with any question's about the house. We were thrilled the house was supplied with sheets and bath towels which was a huge plus. My dad walked to and from Charlio's a couple times but the beach was a bit far to walk with the kids. Not a huge deal to drive. We'd definitely stay again.
We have rented homes in the Point Judith area before, but this home was the nicest. We had family members ages
2 to 70 and the home accommodated everyone's needs. For the kids, the backyard swings and the play room were
wonderful. They spent many happy hours in both. The home was very clean and well equipped. It is located in a very quiet sub division; we were close to everywhere we wanted to travel.
This home has three levels. The downstairs walkout was perfect for the kids and the third floor provided both privacy and
quiet sleeping for the adults.
Eating is divided into two spaces, the kitchen and the dining room. We opted to use the kitchen table and the table on
the deck for our meals. That put everyone in close proximity of each other. Eric was very helpful and willing to meet our
needs. We were happy not to have to bring linens and towels as these were provided. We could, however, have used
some beach towels.
This is a beautiful home with lots of space in a great location. We would rent it again.
