That certainly seems possible. I think, though, having what I believe would be a Federal Warrant for his arrest would be, shall we say, a dark cloud, for the rest of his life. He'd never be able to visit Hawaii, Guam or the US, something he apparently enjoys. I don't know if the US would try to extradite him.

This would be a good shirt for:
an NHK singer, singing to children accompanied by life-sized costume animals.
a kinder-gardener as a smock when painting pictures.
a "talento", assuming there were also matching pants and shoes.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. It's not really a social issue until Triumph makes a bra out of it.

Well, no, not in places where there is likely no oil.

I don't the number of Japanese nationals entering the US illegally is a particularly large.

Gone with the Wind - Civil war wounded scene - Camera pulls back to reveal hundreds of wounded soldiers. Nothing special now, but it was filmed in 1939.
Rocky - the first Rocky did not suck. Running scene with the kids, and the last 7 minutes of the film. Bill Conti deserves most of the credit.

The Player - Opening scene - 8 minutes single shot. Almost perfect.
Atonement - Similar 5 minute shot near the end.
Streets of Fire - final song - tonight is what it means to be young. Looks really hokey now, but it was ahead of it's time in 1984. Great lighting.
Citizen Kane - so many scenes that have been copied so many times since 1941.
Untouchables - Union Station stairway, with the baby carriage.

Perhaps people have become tired of maligning lawyers, bankers and flight attendants.

It would depend on their nationality. I'd be quite happy to live in a place where 20 percent of the land was devoted to the US military.

Of course. Another great photo for Kong. He has a keen eye for the odd signs and sights in Japan.

Someone ask Starbucks Chief Executive Howard Schultz why, when you buy a Starbucks pre-paid card in Japan, register it in Japan, and lose it in Japan, you can't get the balance transferred to another card like you can in the US. I'm out about $200 of Venti Soy Mochas because of that.

I've never met anyone from an internet dating site.
Make eye contact. Smile. Speak to potential partners.

What's with the kanji on the right side of the picture? I'm assuming they show orientation of the craft relative to the Earth. But I don't recall seeing similar classification on NASA shots.

Untrue. The product can apparently "keep the temperature in the helmet 3 degrees lower than usual helmets," but that does not prevent heat stroke. If a person is dehydrated, and unable dissipate heat quickly, they can get heat stroke regardless of what helmet they are wearing.

"Ragtag military left to defend Japan on shoestring budget"
Nonsense. The Japanese military has not been "left" by anyone to defend Japan. The powerful U.S. military is here to assist in Japan's defense.
