  Two things goki (and ants) hate: white vinegar and bleach; use one of those to clean your floors, kitchens and bathrooms and the goki (and ants) stay away! Also, keep your sink holes closed when you are not using them.

  Good effort but WAY too busy, too many different fonts (I hate that the article text is in Times New Roman, yuck!)... I'm from the Less is More school of design..... if it was possible to comment with the mobile site, I would use only that, it's simple and you get the articles in the order they are put up, you don't have to waste anytime looking for them...

  Why is the machine upside down in this photo? Or will people have to kneel to press the buttons?

  It's been three months! How long is the government going to take to relocate these people into proper homes? Anything is better than a gym with hundreds of other people....

  He's no longer a rapper but a Hollywood sellout.

  There aren't that many musicians that can have a career spanning decades... at least he's polyvalent, and everything he does, he's good at. I love him in NCIS LA!

  Well, that's money well spent.

  Meanwhile, NPO's in Japan are donating kids' school desks and chairs to the schools districts that were affected by the tsunami because the government isn't bothered to help them refurnish the schools.

  “I want a relationship with my car in the same way we have a relationship with our friends on social networks,” he said.

  Sure mate, whatever you say. Cars for the socially awkward. Just what Japan needs.

  Doubt he'll suffer that much,

  He was the favorite to win next year's presidential elections, and France's only hope to make sure the right-wing extremists didn't stand a chance, but now all that is gone... so yes he will suffer that much, and so will France!!!

  If police had taken that patently appropriate measure, Harada might be alive today.

  I would argue that if Harada hadn't killed himself, Harada might be alive today.

  The idea of adoption is so overdue in Japan.

  So is the idea of contraception.
