Good post Fadamor, for we need to know more about volcanoes, not only above the water, but below it.
Fortunately I saw the lastes on the TV at home, but also the rest from TV as well. With so many of us NOT knowing what has beening going on for simply ages.

Sorry for first line should have been NO SMOKING in Public Buildings & that means a lot of place including restaurants, or you name it.

The NO SMOKING in public places can even mean parks to beaches.
What some friends tell me, is that when going down to the USA it is with a maze of smoking people.
Another reason I do not go into the USA for I am very allregic to Second Hand Tobacco Smoke.

You are right Sarge, in saying those are two lovely looking young women. I have to keep in mind the most attractive Asian women are those from Japan.

Best of credit to her & others.
As an ex-mountaineer in Canada I studied all the routes some of the women with a guide would explain back in around 1912 to 1919. They stuck with the Alpine Club of Canada & were the women that did so much of the work at the major base camp each year.
Curosity had me ask a few of them, like how can you climb with those skirts down to your ankles. An answer was we were wearing climbing nickers like you, but upon a photo, to be taken, then on went the dress along with a large clothing pin like the Scottish people used in the past.
You learn things all the time!!!!!!!!!

I would say that southsakai is correct for there are crazies in other countries & not just Japan. Pity about the small girl no matter what. I hope she recovers well.

In Canada we had what is called "A banker's shoe". Then noted teeners wanted them but usually a banker's shoe is quite narrow at the toe so with big feet in length to dramatic width of the present teeners -----well we would not offer them knowing the teeners or parents would complain to us for selling them such shoes.

Yes that is a MAZE OF METERIAL & one wonders how a woman can even walk with all of that.

The gun to be used was a Glock semi-auto, not a full auto as all of you know. Also at our gun club range the RCMP Sheriff's Dept or Recreation Officers cannot come on the range to practive WITHOUT a letter from their HQ that they will only use normal f/arms & NO fully automatic, & if anyone is injured it is their insurance that covers them PLUS a fee has to be paid for the use of our range. After all the back stops & such have to be rebuilt or such from their use.
I know the RCMP & others do not like this, BUT we pay for a 5 million dollar liability insurance yearly.
Plus our SAFETY in handeling of f/arms to shooting & such is even better then what the RCMP can expect.

This is a dramatic situation. The Senitor, if she lives could be a bed case the rest of her life as the brain is not to be fooled around with.
Also sorry for the parents of the 9 yr old that was shot.
I would really like to give credit to the one woman that went after the second magazine he was about to feed it, with more ammo, for she did chance her life as he might still have had one shot in the chamber. That was amazing to my mind.
As for safety as we have all rifles, shotguns to h/guns have to be registered & we have to renew some paper work plus mug shots every five years---------it does not stop the smuggling of f/arms in to Canada & ESPECIALLY to gangs or criminals-------so there is shooting in Canada, but we the oblige the rules & regulations are the SAFE PEOPLE that like to target shoot or sight in hunting rifles.
The above may shortin our five year to renew or 4 yrs for renewal on the ATT (Allowance to Transport the guns to the range & back home again with now stops for coffee or friends place) is being given some thought of being shortened. NOT that either do anything to the crazies, the criminals or the gangs.

Amazing thing is this piece of land, claimed to be larger then Texas & the same in size as Alberta Canada IS also the driest part of Australis.
I pity the lives that have been lost, but also the homes to businesses that have been next to being classed as TOTALLED. This is so hard to believe for I have been in a few floods in Western Canada.

True some stange hand signals on the group at the back. Still at their ages & in such colourful Kimomas it sends my heart to do a bit of beating.
Obviously another good photography to the one with the camera.

One just has to wonder if they can suffer so many homes to businesses that are next thing to being TOTALLED.
The photos on the news is simply staggering to the human eye.
Also I did not realize this was one of the driest parts of Austrlia, for by my summer one notices the maze of forest fires Australia seems to have yearly.

They do seem to have a bit of extra blabber around the love handles of the body.
Though they do this in Canada as well for physical fittness I spend time with dumb bells along with a rowing machine in my house DAILY.
