I don't see any Sea Shepherd people here. I can't even see their faces. To me it just looks like a watercraft moving at high speed. We don't know what's in that bottle.
With "Sea Shepherd", Jolly Roger written across the Helm.

Need to add the words "a few" to your statement. As in, A few Okinawans would benefit enormously from a US military withdrawal.
How would people in Nago benefit?
What about people in Itoman or Chinen?

That's good one, but can we wait for more information? Did the metal fall off or from the aircraft?

All the bickering in this thread is driving me crazy!
But if you where driven crazy in a 2006 Honda Civic that delivers 50 mpg, you could go further. Per the ad.

illsayit: Nailed it!
I deserve all of the -15 thumbs down for hitting the submit button before finishing the post in the morning. Now I have time I will go on a little more.
If Mr. Shea would have gone a found a Subcon or became one, he would not have all the problems.
Where could you throw up 500+ units? Take someone’s parking lot? They would need a foundation to be stable. Where would the wood come from? Very few countries will allow you to ship in wood products, without inspections, quarantine and treatment first.
Again, I commend Mr.Shea and his efforts. Others (UK Companies) took the time to do it right and they are now benefiting from the efforts.
@Okinawamike Alternatively, many would have had a better life if the Japanese government ministries and prefectural authorities would "think outside the box".
Yes sir, you are correct. But the box of which you speak of is an airtight good old boys box and the boys in Japan do not like to share.

“We worked 24 hours a day for three days to complete the tender requested by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and I submitted it in person by the April deadline at the Shibuya offices,” Shea said. “It was immediately rejected as we did not have a Japanese partner with a construction license.”
While I praise the desire to help, how hard would it been to find a local contractor with a construction license and partner up? Many would have had a better life is Shea would have been "thinking outside the box".

Former Korean “comfort women,” the euphemistic term for wartime sex slaves, met South Korean Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan in Seoul on Wednesday and urged him to press Japan to settle the issue of compensation.
Again.

Police said that Kanako has so far given no motive for the murder. She was quoted as saying that “I wanted to kill him.”
She forgot the rest of the statement. "I was drunk and don't remember, Sorry".

Does anyone know how good these Pocket Wi-Fi devices are?
As good as the tower location that supports them.

Francesco Schettino told a friend he was following the advice of a manager about what route to take, saying “pass through there, pass through there,”
Yes, yes and pilots should take the advice of passengers and fly close to Mount Fuji so I can get a better picture!
What an ass clown, you are responsible for every aspect of your ship and to show off is not one of those duties.

"One of the boys told police that they had been forced to retreat and wanted to take their frustration out on somebody".

“The sheet has 360 sensors, which collect data for 39 features to recognize a person, such as pressure patterns and the dimensions of the buttocks,” said Dr Shigeomi Koshimizu, who led the research.
Will the price go up for Americans to cover a larger sheet and more sensors?

The last time I had my butt scanned, it was with a long tube that had a camera attached.
All it found was I really was an a-hole. I had the doctor write a note to explain that I really did not have my head up there after all.
Oh yes, then we used a key to start the car.

How come you're all assuming it was a woman?
Would you like to make a small bet it was not?

Real swear words beats the fake words like on 30 Rock. Nerts!
