Folks are sometimes scared to say anything for fear they will look like junkies.
Azoth, just checked out the Penn and Teller's "The War on Drugs". Saw something about a "War on drugs, part two and three". One of the funniest parts, I thought, was "this is your brain, these are your rights, this is your government."
I think we could all use the laughs.

I am curious, they mentioned the usage in Shinto ceremonies. I knew a little of sake used in the 7-5-3 ceremony but was unaware of this. Would anyone know what ceremony? Or it's purpose/usage or philosophies? Is it used as a traditional foundation for treating cancer?
I noticed "Tamagawa Onsen’s special hokutolite bedrock, with naturally occurring radium, is thought to be particularly effective against cancer." The article on the onsen just a few articles from this one.
Thought I'd ask.

"Suffering is often done in silence, and sharing the details can be considered anything from indiscrete to weak. Illness is a private, personal issue here, and that’s not soon to change."
In the US, too many cancer sufferers are afraid to say they have cancer. I knew a survivor who called it the "C-word". People treated her like she was contagious because of it.
Things have changed a little.

Let's see, sucking off of a power spot.
“this arises from a sense of powerlessness, an inability to control one’s future. Although this is partly their responsibility, it also comes from a lack of professional opportunity for women, and the strong wish to find a ‘love’ to support their sense of worth.”
Is that justification?
It is not a good idea to blend popular psychology (too changeable) with religion and ambition. Many dark souls have been the beneficiaries with the blend of those three--or pick two (three stooges alert...).
Sounds like parasitism on all sides.

"Though it’s designed to be worn as a cell phone accessory, this slightly embarrassing gadget is probably best relegated to the inner recesses of a ladies’ handbag."
Somebody obviously has a sense of humor.

Coming to JT and finding a forum of what people are feeling, what all they are going through.
Knowing it may be a while before there is a position open for me to move to Japan. I will wait. Teacher.
Opening up my old Chemistry books and leaving them out. Tracking down the elements as they come up and their effects. Hating the situation and sometimes the people I don't even know. Getting myself to settle down about that.
Eyes front with optimism as a functional barrier. Waiting for the next articles.

"BTW, the Tokyo area will be under water if a tsunami like this went into Tokyo bay. Large parts of Tokyo would be flooded out and if you are in an area where you think you are high enough or far away enough, think again. The Tokyo Metro subway tunnels will actually 'pipe' the tsunami flow into areas where the tsunami would not have reached. All those 'tsunami gates' won't do much when the subway tunnels become water ways. BTW, I have NEVER seen any sort of 'firewall' or tsunami gates in any of the tunnel entrances when they go underground after going over a bridge crossing the many rivers surrounding Tokyo."
Knowbetter, if I may add, the sewer systems and manmade waterways CAN reverse. It was detailed to me that in a place I had lived, the water came bubbling, and in some places, shooting up through the old waterways, viaducts and sewage and drain systems. It does happen and it is bad.

Triage the most important electricity uses, police, hospitals, basic services. Then, last year was pretty hot, so AC and fans and freezers and fridges. I am no expert, so I can only state to have set priorities and keep them.

I agree with cocolocohbv, the information needs to be broadcasted.

leifjapan--Red cross has, over the long term and short term, the tendancy to reroute generosities to other projects. They did with 9-11, (few Americans have forgotten that) other tragedies as well. Find who is actually there and helping. You will be helping the victims with a little extra effort.
Please.

The Marines are helping out. Those that have friends or relatives in the corps there can have blankets and basic supplies sent thru the local recruiting office. Just have marine's information handy. They will ship free if you have that information. Contact your marine first...
