So... I can finally barter?
Resort Onsen: Yes, sir... it is 25,000 yen per person per night.
Me: I'll give you 15,000 for both of us.

Definitely go on. This isn't a family death where they cancel any forms of celebration. This effects the ENTIRE Japanese economy at a time when the economy NEEDS to, at worst, maintain itself. Healing needs to happen, sure, but letting the economy falter in the name of healing is NOT going to make anything better.

If the Japanese are paying 100% of the utilities can I get the $300,000.00 that I've spent, over the last three years, on behalf of my agency back? Hell, I'll even settle for just this year's funding back. I'd be happy to do an amendment to any of the 15+ utility funding documents I've got out for FY11.
Straight poop:
- Quite a lot of the US military's relief effort will go unreported. We do it to help, not market ourselves.
- "Falling back" by the RR when detection systems went off was the prudent thing to do. Staying in an area were the UNKNOWNS are sending off signals is a good way to squash the mission entirely.
If you don't like the US military, just say so. You don't have to fabricate various different reasons, all of which just make you look... idiotic. It's ok - You're allowed.

Here's my thoughts...
Kan is doing better than Hatoyama would have...
... but not as well as Koizumi would.

Lack of fresh water. It is always the main problem at times like this.

IMO, there is no such thing as "good" Hawaiian food beyond the level of a lunch plate or Kalua pork. There is, however, good Hawaiian versions of other ethnic foods. Chinese being the first to come to mind (I'm convinced that the best Dim Sum on the planet is at Legends in Honolulu's Chinatown). Japanese a close second. Hawaii also has some good Vietnamese places if you like pho.
Sam's place in Kapahulu (next to Waikiki) is overpriced and relies way to much on his name. Menu is expensive and food is, at best, mediocre. The breakfast joint he has down by Nimitz is... without a doubt... amazing. If he has any other than those, I don't recall having been there, so it wasn't memorable either way.
I will say... the BEST Sam Choy's I ever ate at was the one in Guam.
If you want great food in Hawaii, visit one of the places owned by Roy Yamaguchi or Alan Wong.

Alpha, check your latest RAS on MyPay (or better yet, get the retirement letter from DFAS)... You'll find that the March retirement checks have a "bonus" for us in the form of increased tax rates on retirement pay. I'm about $37 lighter this month than previous.

Reynolds got it right...
If you’re using this event to criticize the “rhetoric” of Sarah Palin or others with whom you disagree, then you’re either asserting a connection between the “rhetoric” and the shooting — which based on evidence to date would be what we call a vicious lie — or you’re not, in which case you’re just seizing on a tragedy to try to score unrelated political points, which is contemptible. So which is it?
Based on the evidence as of RIGHT NOW, there is no third choice.

And before anybody says anything about "13 consecutive years...", I'll remind you that 99% of the successful "talento" in Japan actually do suck.

Vulcan.... you do realize, don't you, that the overly flamboyant ones... the one's who get wild and crazy in those parades.... are NOT the type of people who are joining the military anyway, don't you?
The gays that serve, both now and in the future, aren't the loud "in your face" type. They are the type that have worked next to us for years without us ever knowing, and for the most part... caring.
There ARE problems to the repeal. I'm not necessarily for it, more based on the logistic's of the whole thing. But getting all up in arms over "parades" and "in your face behavior" is simply nothing more than unfounded "fears".

Look at it this way... All those that have been twisting themselves in knots over this can NOW GO ENLIST!
Yea... yet, again... those that scream the loudest now have the right to do something they never had the balls to.
Will the Ivy league schools, who refused recruiters or ROTC because of DADT, continue to draw taxpayer funds without allowing ROTC or recruiters access to their campuses? I mean... their entire opposition was based on DADT... so what now?

Her legs look great. The only reason that she looks "chubby" or anything like that is standing next to that over-dressed twig (with the great rack) on the left.
