I wonder how it stacks up size-wise against the EeePc and other mini computers. And if it can -do- anything.

I worked at a Japanese travel company for awhile, and my boss was very enthusiastic about explaining the depth of Plan-do-check kaizen stuff. It was the only form of work process assesment I can recall him doing, and by him, I mean me, since that's what kaizen is about.
I don't dislike the theory. But I'm very skeptical of buzzwords and their lemming-like adoption.

I know a girl who was finishing high school and moved house to join a certain temple where she would perform a sort of priestess/maid role. It required years of training in various traditional arts. I think the same goes for being a maiko these days. Just because they aren't working 9~5 doesn't mean they won't be fully employed in the sense of being part of a house with a mama-san to chaperone them and so-on.

This isn't for beer lovers at all. I bought it today. It's in a dinky little plastic bottle and basically aimed at children. It was amonst the videogames/dvds/softcore stuff at my local 7/11, which were flanked by gundam and other exhausting robot crap.
It's just a toy, and nothing more. About as adult as a whoopie cushion or one of those toys that grows 10x when water is added (warning! do not eat!).
A toy and nothing more.
nb. I bought it to send to a friend as Japanese silliness.

Maybe that panda-eye thing taken from Ayu-chan will disappear too. I got a good laugh this month from a magazine advertising 'Nuts Girls'.

I'm guessing it's not set in Japan, then?
I wonder what that'll do to the story.

I don't think the people working on the machines or at the tracks thought about it as 'marketing'.
It's the first place to trim the fat.

I'd probably have felt the same sense of frustration. I don't know the journalist's take on the removal of Saddam - maybe he felt that was a good and necessary thing - but he's well in his rights to criticise the way other things have been managed and played out. The unmitigated hubris of Bush in his many statements about 'winning' and 'saving' the country with democracy is enough to make anyone uneasy. I'm not even an American and his frothing self-congratulation made me embarrased.
As for al-Zeidi's technique, I think it was simple and honest. Press conferences and publicity stunts have more careful wording and spin than newly-minted "talent's" first song. You can't reinterpret or flip someone's shoes back at them in your favour.

This is a good rule of thumb. I once dated someone who'd go into Salvatore Ferragamo stores to try on shoes for an hour or two with no intention of buying them. She drove me mad, and the pandering, sycophantic staff made me feel like breaking the windows. Such a massive amount of lying compressed into everything said.

Twelve storeys of LV... Enough to make me want to hit the button for the 13th floor and throw myself off. Perhaps my fall would be broken by the oversized purses being towed by housewives with more money than sense. yappa LV saikou

The people who organise gambling on racing events must be gnashing their teeth lately.
There is gambling, I assume.

del Toro looks like he was rolled out of bed into some clothes. I know he's no spring chicken, but those are my eyes when I first wake up in the morning.
