    room temperature. Yes Let's define teh region as the Gulf Region. This region is covered under the West Asian Football Federaton which has 13 national association members, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar,Saudi Arabia, Syria and the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Every two years they host the West Asian Football Federation Championship, which was first held in 2000. Results can be found on web, but NEVER have saudi made the final four. The Powerhouses of the Gulf region are really Iran and Syria, not Saudi Arabia.

    Mate I just can't fathom that I'd want my daughter prancing around in a costume that resembles something most parents would find an appalling excuse for a school uniform whilst being leered at by a bunch of middle aged "otakus".

    Commitment I can fully understand. I hav a 14 year old son, who's trying to make the most of an attempt at being a professional football player.

    After a grueling selection process that took 3 years and 9 months...the final four were Erina Ikuta, 13, Riho Sayashi, 12, Kano Suzuki, 12, and Mizuki Fukumura, 14

    Hold on here guys, am i deduce that these four have been applying and trying out since the age of 8 or 9 for some of them??? jeez that is seriously wrong here...

    I have two daughters and cannot imagine what kind of parents would put their kids throuigh such a process...

    I'm always amazed at how large the suitcases are that are used by Japanese travelers. My guess is that they tend only to travel for a week, why do they need so much luggage?

    I guess you've never seen HK people travel....They are primary reason that airlines are in business courtesy for excess bagagae charges!

    Guys, Inamoto didn't play for Arsenal in the lague, not once I recall. The fizzy pop coca cola cup yeah, friendlies yeah, but not once where it counted.

    Good luck and hope you get further than Inamoto!

    Guys if life were all about doing things politically correct, we would be living like 1950's Soviets or taunting a little red book in the middle of the Great Leap Forward. Live a little and forget about you soy milk lattes and organically grown green salads. Sharpie you stick with your "non-disgusting" diet. As northlondon says I'm a happy man

    Guys, I'm now in HK having eover enjoyed myself in japan. To add to the jealousy, BK is getting huge here. A Private equity firm took the franchise and are now expanding, I have a BK which is a 3 minute walk from my office and one that is a 10 minute drive from my home (if only I could find parking nearby...). The point is (a) the stacker is not here yet but (b) they give you the option to add patties at an extra cost. You can stack a 3rd whopper patty to your double whopper with BBQ and bacon. It sure as hell beats the lotteria 7 patty cheese burger I tried in May and the freshness burgers you get here. I still love the MOS teriyaki burger, which is defientely a hall of fame burger for me.

    Apologies for being crass here, but if she was modelling for an underwear/lingerie maker I would have hopped that she would model a more extensive breadth of their product range....I'll have to settle for the google search images.

    If (a big if) the intention was just to commit rape and she died when he tried to stop her from shouting and screaming, the defense tactics should focus on trying to negotiate with the prosecutors for a pleading of the lessor charge of manslaughter. The prosecutor should rightfully stick to his guns and ask the judge to try the more serious charge of murder and rape. 1). The rape was premediated. he planned his course of action. 2). When she died she was found in a tub of sand. How many people have sand in their bathtub to cover a deadbody. A sign that there was an intent to kill not? 3). He evaded the police for 2.5 years, undergoing plastic surgey to alter his appearances.

    People seem perpelxed as to why they like Ken Watanabe. My answer for hy I like him is simple. (a) he's a brilliant actor (b) He's a man who recovered from serious illness and came back stronger and more deidcated to his work (leaukemia I think it was). (c) Unlike other famour actors, he seems down to earth and doesn't seem to have been in the news for the wrong reasons.

    Over exposure in the media always seems to be an issue for Japan, ie the pendulam swings too far. But hey, these guys earned their right to the over exposure. Well Done Blue Samurai!
