That's amazing. Can't remember the last time I saw a lump of reinforced concrete...

On second thoughts, it was probably the enormous amount of money on his head that did him in.

Seems the CIA got things right for a change. I would prefer "cull", "put down", rather than murder.

A few weeks ago they were handing out poop bags to people. Poop bags! The bags were even colored brown, so nobody dared to, say, barf in them. How on earth one is to use one of those is beyond me. Hope one has enough time to read the printed instructions. Anyway, I only pay attention when I see people waving flags or somebody in a bunny suit jumping on the sidewalk.

Where does this term "fly jin" originate from anyway? Well, not from any gaijin. And the news picked up on it. Of course, they never mentioned any of their own so called brave and courageous having fled to deemed safer places. Bunch of hypocrites. And I am sick and tired of gaijin claiming they stayed for this and that reason. Good for you, but don't criticize people who for whatever reason left Fukushima or Japan. Yeah, when they interviewed a couple of gaijin why they were leaving and saying they heard it was dangerous etc., I thought 'you nitwits'. And when I got emails from the embassy mentioning they had arranged seats on planes leaving Japan, I thought 'you nitwits'. But people are not all the same. I didn't even consider leaving my town or Japan for that matter and I am not a hero. It just didn't come up. You know what? It's my experience that people with big mouths are usually the biggest cowards when sh!t really hits the fan.

Shops trying to raise the price? Don't worry, doesn't happen in Japan. You all fell into a kettle of hinkaku when babies, so you're all so full of dignity that you're immune to dishonesty. For crying out loud man, change your diaper. What are you people going to eat if there ever wasn't enough Japanese rice? Hmm? Like when there was a rice shortage in this country, people lining up to buy this foreign rice? It is obvious that you never ate this "foreign" rice. Or was that before you were born? It's quite tasty actually if you would try it and you won't get anything nasty from it.

Yes, yes, wasabi is well known for it's anti-radiationalnalnal properties, but only when applied into the nasal and anal cavities, so if you see somebody running down the street, wildly gesticulating and screaming, you what the cause is. Anyway, the local kaiten sushi looks real quiet during the early evening, let alone late night, but that has been since the quake. I find this whole area (Y'hama) more subdued during the evening, less light and less cars on the road.

I thought they had already 2 of these Putzmeisters complete with Betonpumpe Führer pumping water at Fukushima and that they are going to send 4 more.

Tested for possible radiation. Think it was mentioned before that they test anybody entering evacuation centers in that area, otherwise they won't let you in. Still sad that it has come to this.

Yes, the building of nuclear power plants has been a regular feature on JT. I take it, that the people from the IAEA are no arm chair experts and from what I have been reading, it was the IAEA, that in 2008 warned their Japanese counterparts of the dangers of eartquakes and tsunamis along the Pacific coast. It was brushed aside. Also, since this particular plant started operating in 1971, the fascilities were upgraded exactly 3 times.

“An extremely urgent” request, is that a euphemism for g@d damned bungling idiots? And why is it the US Navy that ships in fresh water. Has all fresh water been bottled here?

I think gaijintraveller he has a valid point. Nearly a week after this disaster, there are still many people without enough food and other necessary supplies. One would think that this country, with it's history of earthquakes, notably the Hanshin earthquake, there would have been a comprehensive plan in place to deal with this. Most of Japan is unaffected and supplies could easily have been flown in by chopper if trucks couldn't reach the affected areas. For your information Pumpkin, the survivors are asking themselves the very same question.

It's cute. Cute and very Japanese. Better to be prepared at all times and having them wear this now is probably to make them aware of the current serious situation. Guess it gives some protection against falling objects and the silver could point to some fire resistant material. It folds up, so they likely carry this stuff with them at all times. Also like the portable bouhan buzzer integrated into the randoseru. Haha, be prepared people, I want a set. And the funny thing is, if I am going to wear this outfit today in public, nobody is going to blink an eye, think about that.

It's all a bit chaotic, which is in my opinion not unexpected in these extraordinary circumstances. Interesting news story developing, seemingly originating from Wikileaks..., in that the IAEA had warned Japan several years ago about the trouble they are facing right now with the Fukushima plant and that Japan's own nuclear safety agency, as well as the government played down the concerns of the IAEA.

Is this really necessary, all this hoarding of food? Here in Yokohama everything is just fine, quake wise I mean, so why the long lines at gas stations? I went to the supermarket early this morning at opening time, expecting it to be quiet as usual, but it was mayhem, the store was packed with folks. There is no rice, no canned food, no oatmeal (sniff), no bread. I don't get it. It was quiet though, nobody was saying a thing.

For Yokohama check TVK. It is a bit confusing. Teiden tomorrow for some wards in Yokohama is 9.20~13.00 and 18.20~22.00 Yokohama (all wards) either 13.50~17.50 and/or 15.20~19.00
I am not whining or anything, but for years Tepco ran those commercials where they were proudly proclaiming how diversified their power supply system is, ready for any contingency, as opposed to other countries, but one plant is more or less out and the whole system is in disarray.

"Spring placed improperly in a small box inside the engine". Interesting. Improperly, small box, could break, might stop, it all sounds rather harmless. I checked this and it seems they mean "the lost motion springs, which are compressed by rocker arms in normal engine use, and that may bend or break over time resulting in abnormal engine noise and potentially causing engine damage or stalling". In short, bad valve springs. Which is a rather serious defect.

Try preparing your meals with generous amounts of (mono)unsaturated fats, like olive oil. The first thing people do when trying to loose weight is skipping on fats, but there are fats and fats and the good fats are actually very powerful (and natural) metabolism boosters. I have to splurge on food now and then in order to gain weight. And apart from taking a walk every day, I don't exercise much and I eat what I like, but prepare it myself.

Did Hoshino deflate herself? She might look 16 to some people, she certainly acts like a teenager. Inflating, deflating, I can't follow. The other girl however is good in the kitchen I hear and can squeal in soprano, mezzo-soprano, contralto and possibly still treble, which is probably the reason why she made it into AKB48.
