Well, if you're going to be anal about it, then fine Jubilo as well. They were Jubilo fans after all. I guess the big question is, were the S-Pulse officials notified about the offending banner during the game. If they knew and didn't do anything, I guess a fine of some kind would be necessary. If they weren't told until after the game, or they didn't know about it until after the game, they shouldn't have to pay a fine.

This is probably a better link, it's for their online shop: instead of shop after the slash, add netshop/index.html

At least this song is a nice story about a little girl and her gran, like fishy said. It's not like the majority of mindless songs that are playing all around the globe. So she used the word toilet, so what. It was probably one way for her gran to get her to help out around the house and to teach her to be less selfish. Maybe like parents around the world use Santa to try and get kids to act good, since he does check his list twice. It's a nice song, if you don't like it, fine, don't listen to it. It's a lot better than the top ten Oricon songs of 2010. Or are you AKB 48 fans...

The explanation I saw on TV was easier to understand than this article. She said that her husband was struggling with the guy who had the gun when the police came in. He apparently wasn't standing there holding the gun. Whatever the case may be, the police made a mess of the whole thing. What should have been a breaking and entering arrest, turned into a murder. I also do not understand why they did not draw their weapons and identify themselves. If there is a drawn weapon, they should have, no matter who was holding it. BTW do police have tasers here?

Dewaashita, that quote is found in French and English in the song Circumstances by Rush. This DOES sound like a great read. Looking forward to it. Can you imagine the number of books Twain could've written if he was looking at the post-war Japanese government? Boggles the mind.

Good selection, let's see who actually starts and gets a chance to play. I thought Zac said his next press conference would be in Japanese. Well, he did say KONICHIWA I guess...

In the old NASL they had a thing called the shootout, which I think is a great way to solve a draw. Like in a penalty shootout, each team chooses the initial five kickers. The ball is placed on the 35 yard line, and when the whistle blows, the offensive player has 5 seconds to dribble in and shoot. The goalkeeper is also allowed to move once the whistle is blown. If there is a rebound off the goalie or the bar, even if there is still time left, the offensive player can not shoot again. Only one shot. I don't know, I enjoyed it at the time.

Wish I could be there and see him on the big screen again. The best. Jackie is fun, but Bruce, different league.

techall, that made me laugh to, so I Googled it, and was surprised. According to a homepage in Australia, a Bambi is a "Born-Again Middle-aged Biker", so I guess it could be referring to that. Regarding Creap, it is derived from CREAmy Powder. I 100% agree with Disillusioned regarding spelling, especially big companies or government offices. It bugs me so much, I would be willing to check the spelling for free.

Sorry, by adding tomato Kagome has made a new sauce. It is no longer sukiyaki. It may taste good, but it is not sukiyaki.

bababooey's link shows us a different side of Renho. Forgot she was in the entertainment biz before politics. I say more power to her, I hope she wins. I think she is refreshing.

Hey, where did he get that King Kamehameha hat? I have always thought Dr. Nakamatsu was an interesting character, and a brilliant man. Like many brilliant people, he is very eccentric, but that's what makes him appealing to me. I wish I could get a pair of his jumping shoes for my commute to work. Just checked out his homepage, and now the shoes are called Super Pyon2 and they run 17,800 yen. http://dr.nakamats.com/shop/index.html I'd vote for him, he couldn't do any worse than the people in charge now...

Been using Panasonic PLC since last year, and so far no problems. Used it in a fairly new apartment and a really old one, and the speed is fine.

I kind of agree with PeaceWarrior. I think the biggest problem is humidity. 28 is not that bad if it isn't humid. You are in a building and presumably protected from the sun, so it should feel fine, again if there is little or no humidity. It's no wonder that productivity goes down in Japan's hot and humid offices. Another thing that lowers productivity, I think, are the constant smoking breaks people take. That, however, is another can of worms.
