I really like the name Yumi and Momo too (isn't RayInJapan's wife called Momo?). Anything that sounds eatable!

I got one for 13000 yen at the end of last year and it works just fine. I've been able to clear up lots of my hard disc that was getting near bursting point,

The G or the T?
Am I unusual in very much liking panty lines.

I get enough attention as it is, don't need any more.

Nothing compared to what some of you have it seems. I think my most is probably 8 beers, and I was in a bad bad state because of it.

So thats just in spring? Why is that then?

I think I would want a guide.
We're not all as experienced or confident as you IM.

Seems most other people don't know either

Do all your Japanese friends use the internet as much as you do? Some of my friends aren't all that interested yet, and even the ones who do don't seem to use it so much.

After the fuss there was early on in the season, I haven't heard much more about the patrol at resorts. Anyone any new stories or incidents over the last few months?

I was just watching the tv just now and there was an advert for kiwi fruits. And they instructed us enthralled viewers how to eat a kiwi. So here you are, all you people in the dark:
1
Cut it in half
2
Get a small spoon. A teaspoon is fine.
3
Pick up one half of the kiwi
4
Scoop out some of the fruit flesh
5
Put in mouth and eat.
I found it to be very helpful and from now on will never have any further problems eating kiwifruit. I thought I would just pass that on.

INTERNATIONAL SNOWBOARDERS UNITE AT 'THE BATTLE' IN SWEDEN
The world's best snowboarders have descended upon the Swedish city of Falun to contest 'The Battle', a unique event showcasing the progression of the sport.
Competitors from five different regions of the world, including Europe, Scandinavia, USA, Canada and Oceania will be represented when 'The Battle' begins in a massive purpose built snow park at Falun, Sweden on March 22. The final team was finalised today as organisers worked feverishly to complete the finishing touches of the incredible snow park built at Lugnet Stadium on the edge of town.
The USA team was finalised, with team captain Andy Finch announcing a solid line-up of riders, including Wyatt Caldwell, Ryan Doppel and Tom Flocco. "We're all pumped and we're ready to ride," Finch said. "The park is radical; everything is big so we should see some big tricks," he said.
"There are some great riders here and when the stadium is filled up it will be insane."
The USA team will be up against a stellar field of the world's best snowboarders, including Inger Backman, Terje Haakonsen and Wille Yli-Luoma representing Scandinavia, Michi Albin, Steve Gruber and Friedl Kolar representing Europe, Tosh Osaka, Mike Turner and Mike Osachuk representing Canada, and Quentin Robbins, Nick Gregory and Ben Bright representing Oceania.
While the world's best snowboarders are expected to shine when 'The Battle' begins on March 22, the definite star of the show is the incredible snow park. Co-designed by local snowboarder Jacob Söderqvist, the park contains more than 25,000 cubic metres of snow, which has been produced by snow machines and moved to the site over the past three weeks.
"It really is quite different," Söderqvist confessed.
"When I was thinking about this I thought the most important thing was to build a park that shows people what we can really do on a snowboard and give the riders the best possible park to ride," he said.
"I think we have achieved this as the park really pushes the limits and will showcase the progression of snowboarding."
'The Battle' is one of eight events that comprise the revolutionary Ticket To Ride (TTR) series of events that has replaced the defunct International Snowboard Federation (ISF) competition circuit.
The series is controlled by snowboarders, like Söderqvist and Haakonsen, and encourages progressive and creative riding.
'The Battle' is the final chance for riders to qualify for when the TTR series reaches its climax at the Arctic Challenge in Norway in April.
'The Battle' is proudly presented by Corona Extra; supported by Rip Curl and Arnette.
Associate sponsors include Onboard, Transition, Lunastorm.com, MTV, Braun and Vertical Snowtoys.
