people, I understand Japanese media and prosecutors already hang a suspect even before the investigation begins, but let's stick to the "innocent until proven guilty" idea. We just know that a guy knew a girl, the guy went back to his home city, and the girl was found dead. While it is suspicious for sure, hopefully nobody will ever get condemned only for that

this morning, wife had TV on (I allow her to watch Japanese TV only in the morning, when I'm too sleepy to care), and I wanted to see the weather, and instead there was the news about this voting thing, with close up on each girl and how they were immediately bursting into tears to properly show their emotions, and the crowd was roaring each time a tear appeared. I immediately turned off the TV

Frungy, glass is amorphous, not crystalline. that's why you can see through it. but nevertheless, it probably snaps under enough pressure applied.

they left some parts of Kobe untouched after the earthquake, to remind people the brute force of nature and the importance of preparedness. I think it would be appropriate to leave the boat there (with some support work as suggested above) to remind everybody about the dangers of a tsunami

koffee, I am not scaring anybody, I'm just explaining why Pepin idea's doesn't work. The only thing to do is to cool the reactor with water

Pepin, as long as the fuel is still reactive, even if you cover it with concrete and lead, it will reach a critical point where everything will explode and you will have mayhem. at this point the nuclear fuel is contained in a strong zirconium alloy, so that provides some protection

@sqwak there was a tsunami warning, but this tsunami was extremely fast: it came after 1 minute. Imagine that all the elderly could not evacuate in that short time

what do they mean by "collagen peptides"? hydrolyzed collagen? in other words denaturated gelatin? they should also mention that "collagen enhances skin" is a popular myth, never confirmed scientifically

Expendables is a decent movie to watch on a long flight (like I did), especially if you like Stallone (like I do). But I wouldn't go to at theater just to see it. On the other hand, I completely agree with Meloveulongtime, Rio is a great talent. curious about the singing though, the tunes they usually play are better on DVD than CV... a short search on the net reveals that the title of their first single is "Banana Mango High School". promising

WilliB, if you bother to read my post, then you may understand that I was answering skipthesong question about the possible motives of the pirates to kidnap the yacht: they (and not me) may thought it carries some rich dudes.

skipthesong, probably they thought the yacht carrier some bored billionaires wanting some adventure at sea. poor guys, they were too much into their religious hypnosis to realize the surrounding real world. hope the heaven they believed in exists
