Livinginokinawa, it's not the power, its how they are set up. I have 3000lm HID's installed on my car, and because the projectors were designed for HID's they aren't blinding at all.
I am doing normal driving, but because I am used to HID's anything below 2800lm or so would be a below comfort zone for me.
That said, I really want to see LED's for cars. This can bring about some awesome changes in design.

still not enough for a car. Am I missing something? 25W for a led? isn't it a bit too much? I though most led lights were 4 to 10 W

If you staff is payed above industry standard, why are they so damn stupid?
"No you can't take this cart" you have to go all the way back to 3rd floor and get one!
Nontheless, there should be more costcos at tokyo area or have existing onces open until later hours. too damn crowded on weekends.

I think the Japanese always had the do-it-yourself mindset. the only problem is that the government keeps turning around and destroying everything. so the poor kokumin have to rebuild from scratch.
Posted in: On the one hand, you have young people who are taking matters into their own hands in the face of companies and a government who have little to offer them in return. But on the other hand, you have young people who are looking for an easy way out, seeking shelters that are fast disappearing. It will be slow, but I think there will be more gutsy young people going forward.

labor laws are there for a reason and are applicable for all kinds of employment.
Financial penalties and salary deductions of more than 10% are unlawful. This should be a simple win for Ms A.
A club should look into a reward scheme instead of punishment. How about: 30 days on time in a row will result in 10% raise, or surpassing a quota will result in hostesses keeping 100% of what they made above the quota? cool, eh? maybe i should run a club now :-D

Can you imagine the decrease in crime rate if they just legalize all drugs?
But noooo, they don't want it, so many government employees will lose their jobs over it.... Better waste all the tax payers money and chase lonely drug users around the world.

Wouldn't have been good opportunity for recovery if government would have gotten out of the way. Deflation creates a massive bargain for investors.
It punishes the people who live beyond their means and rewards people who save and live responsively.

Why people insist on banning this book? Criminal or not (well, not yet, because he isn't convicted yet) he is allowed to write and have his work published.
Simply put, don't like it - don't buy it! I, on the other hand am very curious about his hideouts and how he managed to live off the grid. I am also curious what forced him to commit such a terrible crime.
For those of you who seek a public out cry linking it to Hawkers family's emotions! Snap out of it! You are letting emotions cloud common sense and law, and that is very clear - everybody can write about anything. end of story.
by insisting to ban this book you prioritize emotions over everything else, making yourselves no different that the criminal himself!

The problem is that they will never elsect a fiscal conservative with a very direct but truthful view: cut spending or we are in trouble!
They'd rather have another lying a-hole who would wave his fist at Russia and China, but totally ignore local problems.
