China's shoddy adherence building standards have been disastrously exposed as woefully inadequate. no point having codes and standards if no one fellows them. Chinas is the land of the Aneha's

now this is one big reason why living in Tokyo must be absolute hell! rush hour trains in Osaka never get as ludicrous as this!

90% of my sons photos are duds: he LOVES playing with the digicam he will drain the battery before he gets bored and he takes the wildest shots, crazy angles and objects. Once he figures out the focus he's going to be the next Doubilet.
Weird thing I have never shown how to use the camera, he just figured it out himself and he only 4 years old! -

Certain elements of society here enjoy a free ride because of historic social injustices against their group, the city I live has large number of them. I could bet my house on it that many of them don't pay certain fees and costs at school (I know for a fact that they sure as heck don't at Hoikuen) and because of who they are, no-one will chase it up (as stated by AK above). Yet many of these people are certainly not poor and they are milking the system for all its worth and then some. -
picasa tells me 503 folders with 13223 photos

thanks for the report, looks like a good day out, crampon-less Dan must have felt a tad vulnerable up there though.

Judging by the time of your post I would say it was this one at 1:45 AM.
4-5 on the J-scale just north of Tokyo in Ibaraki, thats a decent shake! and it wasnt that big up your way Soub! you must be sensitive!
You Kants and Tohukus can have all the earthquakes you want and keep them out of Kansai! that would be nice.
4 (4) / 3.5-4.4 Many people are frightened. Some people try to escape from danger. Most sleeping people awake. Hanging objects swing considerably and dishes in a cupboard rattle. Unstable ornaments fall occasionally. Electric wires swing considerably. People walking on a street and some people driving automobiles notice the tremor. 0.25–0.80 m/s²

Occasionally, windowpanes are broken and fall, unreinforced concrete-block walls collapse, and roads suffer damage. Occasionally, less earthquake-resistant houses suffer damage to walls and pillars. Occasionally, cracks are formed in walls of less earthquake-resistant buildings. A safety device cuts off the gas service at some houses. On rare occasions water pipes are damaged and water service is interrupted.

my Golden week was pretty miserable....friday - 5 hours at the hospital, Sat all day at the hospital, Sunday at home, Monday at home, Tuesday at home (though did squeeze a small hike in in the arvo)......all three other members of my family had rotavirus infections, it was haku/geri city. The youngest had 2 days on a drip at the hospital. Golden week? more like Geri week for me.
I was healthy but a nurse for 5 days....I was glad to get back to work today! ( but not glad to have to share my train with the Z.I.S [Zombies in Suits] I thought GW might have refreshed them but they were back as Zombi-esh as ever)

just watched "sunshine" pretty fruity title but a pretty decent sci-fi thriller none the less, quite thought provoking, reminded my of "Event horizon" (less horror though) and also it's very much like 2001 A space Odyssey. I am on quite a movie crusade at the moment! one a night - it's great!

there are Klingons on the starboard bow....
Funky baby, Fuuunnky! gotta move on!

Megan Fox? she is very good looking, shame though about her "ink"

sooner than you think, 2-3 year ago USB flash drives were 256MB or 512MB now most places dont stock below 1GB and 4GB or 8GB is standard.
The Ipod touch is 32GB of flash, thats quite a lot. A 16 or 32 nano is just around the corner.
I am podless I have the this
tiny and uses SD cards, really cheap too though not as functional. -
just watched Deathproof - NZ accents on screen make me cringe! otherwise a pretty wild movie - very Tarantino!

Capoeira style parkour! that a new angle on urban running, pretty cool.

His style is "kung-fu gymnastic"

Andrea de Crasheris? He didn't finish too many races did he?
awful lot of "Ret" in his career chart. You wonder how someone with such a mediocre career managed to last so long.
In he mid 90's there was Ukyo Katayama who had an equally mediocre career.
He became a folk-hero on a weekly sports chat show in NZ called 'TAB sports cafe', they finished their weekly round up of the news with Katayama crashing, it was their running joke and he obliged by providing plenty of content.

Quote:Obviously - having kids - I think about it....that is why I started using hand sanitiser.
I wish my youngest hand been using that stuff, before stuffing his pudgy fingers into his mouth and infecting himself with the highly contagious rotavirus, oh well there goes Golden week...sigh
