  The mistake newbies make when using those tempermental Japanese fish broilers (sakana-yaki-ki) is that the broiler takes time to heat up, so as much cooking occurs in the last 3 minutes as in the previous 6 minutes. The second mistake is not letting the food rest, preferably in the boiler itself, so that the food cooks through and stays warm enough to eat, but cool enough to hold together for easy cutting.

  Wouldn't want to think of a weather forecaster operating without a license!

  They mean certification.

  Learning a foreign language and scientific skill? An entertainment industry gimmick--and a great one, at that.

  It is already a 24hour city in certain areas and aspects.

  Yeah, the ATMs are open 24-hours a week!

  “Targeting groups based on their political views is not only inappropriate but it is intolerable,” Baucus said

  If the political view is that tax evasion is proper, then they should get extra scrutiny. This is a no-brainer.

  For example, reports suggests that users of heavier drugs often start off with soft drugs in their teens and then move to heavier substances

  By this logic, alchohol should be banned.

  Personally I think I'd rather have wolves roaming the woods than these old geezers with guns

  Most people with young children would disagree. Ditto for the geezer hikers.

  By publicizing this sort of scenario, they are hoping to curb this sort of fantasy fulfillment

  I bet your two to one the website's hit count is way up since this news broke.

  On any other day, Kashiwagi would be classified as one of the more hardworking members of AKB48.

  Any other day? You mean, particularly on this day.

  Pasta is absurdly overpriced. 800 or 900 yen for a lunchtime plate of carbs whose ingredients costs less then 100 yen? Criminal.

  For French and Italian, the fish is typically excellent in quality and preparation. The bread is hit or miss.

  Yes, as Disillusioned said, drivers are supposed to stop for pedestrians at crosswalks, but most people don't follow this rule...

  What if the pedestrian is crossing against the light at a controlled zebra crossing?

  Stiles suggested a two-part solution: first, cut back government fishing subsidies, which ultimately pay for some of the illegal catch, and increase seafood tracking from its source to the consumer.

  It won't happen in Japan.
