the 'new experience' is -

They've had the standard afternoon tea set with their own blended tea/coffee and all the other 'works' mentioned for some while.

These cowardly attacks are way too common in India. And like cos pointed out, this stuff is daily use, easily available. However, unlike India I hope the assailants are found and hope they have to part with what they've taken of the poor lady's life which is for the rest

talks? How can 2 buyers of the same single product talk and settle? by buying half? imho, the matter should be decided by an ICJ and that's the end of that.

This is what their spokesperson says : "The monument is equipped with heating cable systems and heating installations on all horizontal surfaces to help melt ice quickly. Propylene glycol is sprayed on vertical surfaces to melt and prevent ice formations on an ongoing basis."
Any idea if any of this is done at the Sky Tree?

i notice a scary trend of mob mentality that we see in places like the Middle East or India. I don't disagree with Hashimoto on this one but everyone is quick in blaming the school and the coach. While they are held accountable and punished , so should the 2 mute by-standing junior coaches and ALSO the mother. How could the mother let a 30-40 time slap fest slip by? Most mothers I know would have brought the roof of the school down for that

this seems like an interesting development - from a non recognized 17th party, Kada-san has got sudden attention, plus the wily old game-maker Ozawa joins ranks. I'd lean toward this one and find out more about their poll campaign. Shame they won't let us vote, since this is so confusing to the public...

wow, so many opinion polls... does anyone post the charter of the parties the people are going to elect? or should they just choose on the basis of these trends?

@tokyokawasaki: everyone should. Not because who will they go to at the end. But so that the current media frenzy can end and every good-for -nothing politician wants to keep 'visiting' those islands for no apparent reason can stop. which is being paid for, by the honest tax-payers money, such as us.

Why exactly does it matter which class they travel by? They've been assigned a job and get paid for it. As long as it is consistent, where all the athletes travel by the same class, no one should be making a fuss of how they travel for a couple of hours...

It's good to see the parents standing up for action. However, does anybody else here feel like the parents should have noticed the burns sooner, or taken some action earlier, before the expulsion?
