Watch Out For Women With Purses!
Many of us have seen the emails that warn women not to park near a van; that your elbow is the strongest part of your body; be aware of your surroundings, etc.
These are all valid points.
However, when faced with real danger will you remember that email you skimmed last year?
Not likely. You need to practice self defense techniques.
Why do you think schools have fire drills? Hopefully by walking the children through an actual emergency, they will remember what to do.Your best defense is to avoid situations of vulnerability.
I am always amazed at the number of females walking or jogging alone, both early morning or late at night, when it is dark outside.
Or the mother with her baby in her arms, toddler in tow, carrying shopping bags.
Her position is screaming, "I am helpless against defending myself at this moment."
Ladies, use a shopping cart or stroller to keep your hands free.Your Purse Doubles As a WeaponYou have...

Another reason is organized crime. By purchasing a designer fake handbag, we are supporting illegal activity.

A Brief History of Handbags
A Brief History of HandbagsHave you ever wondered about the origin of handbags and purses? Handbags have been essential to daily life ever since people have had something precious to carry around with them and only the items have changed over time. The very first mention in written literature comes from the 14th century, even though Egyptian hieroglyphs show pouches carried around the waist. Bags were attached to what were called "girdles" which were fastened to the waist. Embroidery and jewels adorned these articles and were used to show status - the richer the person, the more elaborate the bag. More information on medieval clothing
In the 16th century, handbags took on more of an air of practicality with the use of everyday materials such as leather with a drawstring fastener on top.
During this period, cloth bags were used that were made larger and used by travelers and carried diagonally across the body. The 17th century saw more variety and both fasionable men and...

Cigarette Cases
There are many cigarette accessories that complete a smoker's kit. Chief among them are cigarette cases, lighters and holders.
Cigarette cases are most useful when cigarettes have to be stored in small amounts while traveling or on a long journey. However, cigarette cases have today achieved the dual usage of not only storing cigarettes in them, but also creating or adding to the personality of the person using the cigarette case.
A cigarette case has become as much of a external symbol as a leather jacket, cell phone or any other external accessory. There are a range of cigarette cases available in the market.
The cases are made to fit various personalities and both genders.
The cigarette cases can fit filtered as well as non-filtered cigarettes. The number of cigarettes that can be stored in a case differs. Normally, they can hold up to eighteen cigarettes.
The cases are made out of a number of materials. Some of the popular...

The Man Purse Revisited
Honestly, I don't know what all the fuss is about.
So your man carries a purse?
What's a girl to do?
It's not such a big deal, is it?
Ever since the airing of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry starts carrying a "European Carry-all", the man bag has truly found its place in popular culture.
That particular episode is, by far, my favorite.
The man purse that Jerry was carrying was actually quite nice.
I mean, if you are going to carry a purse it ought to be a nice one.
While the episode elicited a lot of laughter, it brought up some interesting points.
For instance, why do men feel so uncomfortable calling a purse a purse?
Handbag designers take note!
One day in the not-so-distant future, the market for man purses is going to explode.
That's my prediction, for what it's worth.
I think the biggest challenge for designers to overcome when approaching this untapped market, is the...

Liquor Store Retailers Fight Back Using Biometric Technology
Every liquor store or convenience store nationwide suffers the threat of fines, suspensions, even license revocation for selling alcohol to minors.
Until now, employee discretion, counterfeit IDs, and customer overflow have conspired against them.
But retailers are now protecting themselves and society from the dangers of underage drinking with a new biometric fingerprint identification technology that can verify ID in a fraction of the time it takes to "card" customers.
This speeds checkout while offering enhanced convenience and liability protection.
Return-on-investment for the technology has been as quick as four days.For years, Bob Zenner has battled ID counterfeiters supplying two local colleges.
Yet his liquor store in Alamosa, Colorado was recently closed for three days for a first "selling to minor" offense, involving a minor using fake ID.To avoid future "selling to minor" infractions, Zenner and an independent group of 20 stores...
