In my MA class we take our newcomers out for a 10mile run, the winner is the last guy to cross the line as he had the hardest struggle to finish.
Marathons are tough and kudos go to all.

SITC was a no-show anyway as it was only broadcast on cable/satelite. So most don't even now about it hence why the movie only shows at "selected" cinemas.
Most overseas movies, etc are here straight to DVD, etc anyway. Want to see Lost, 24 , Heroes, etc you need have cable/etc.
So the article is just so much fluff.

It was kinda big news recently:
http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/08/sasquatch-detec.html
Guys claimed to have found a dead one and seen others(including pics) in Georgia, the froze the body(rubber-suit) and claimed it as authentic.

Looking at that board how does it steer? I know skateboards having used them.
Very windy road below 5th and he will pick up some good speeds.

WHERE does he plan to do use that board on Mt. Fuji?
I have seen guys use sand-boards but there are no roads where those teenie wheels will work. Last time I visited Mt. Fuji it was all rocks and sand once you get high up, maybe around the base below 5th.

Hmm, why does everybody say Toki is still around.
Newsflash Toki got banned too some time ago(it is in all the newspaper artcles). Wakanohana is just the first "active" Rikishi to get banned, JSA banned 3 people in the last year.

IMO, picking the best don't make for a good mix. Unless they got the time to learn to work together.
Mix all your fav foods together, should taste great because they are your favs but alas ...

Don't get me started on the level of IT Engineers in japan and the world in general. Shudders.
In Japan anyone from an Operator to an Analyst is an "Engineeer". Happy to be out of that profession now(was in it for 25yrs), I did more power-point stuff than IT work when I was still employed in japan. All the company worried about was the sales figures and their reputation/image.
As for the high-skilled Chinese and Indian Engineers better nothing said. We tried to outsource some work to China only to delay the project and do it in-house. Their so-called "fluent" japanese speakers wouldn't pass JLPT 4.
Grrr.

Not just one stupid joint.
What about the pipes, etc found at his home and in his "private" room at the stable?
Don't know many employers that would be happy if their workers smoked the stuff on their premises. Do you?
Of course I forget the pipes like the joint were planted. How stupid of me.

Forgot to add the JSA might have been more lenient if they hadn't found a pipe and other stuff at the stable too.

I am with JoeBigs but I don't think he got booted only for smoking the weed.
How about his outburst after loosing a fight and destroying a shelf in the toilet or the sneaky punches, etc he did during bouts.
For a newcomer to the upper rank his behaviour/conduct record was not good.

I am with the people that say it depends.
Depends on the type of date and with whom and also on what work that needs to be done in the overtime and why.

1st rule we learned NEVER Dive alone, your Dive buddy is VERY important in case anything goes wrong.
Both need to be there 100% for each other and you need to trust each other 100%. Had one guy that wanted to dive with me, when I checked his gear I told him I wouldn't dice with him as he didn't have an octopus(2nd air-hose and mouthpiece).
