Got a pizza from Costco, add some extra cheese on top and it was very good indeed.

That actually sounds like it might be rewarding!

The okama (?) has been roped off I see on the news.
I wonder if that would have been done if there was no Ontake news...

Some people just have no shame.

Generally I don't find drivers very polite here.
Try getting out into a main road and see how many people stop and let you in. Not many.

Destiny... hmmm, well. Looks good. Just think Halo really.
The good thing there though is that Halo wasn't half bad!

She was on American Idol a number of years back. She was famous for being a "stupid country girl" then too.

There seems to be confusion over what this actually means?
Will she not be able to be treated in hospital and use her 30% card?
Will she not be able to get pension payments that she has paid into?

Not often you see a score like that in football.
And against Brazil too!

This really is scary shit
(CNN) -- The World Health Organization says "drastic action is needed" to stop the deadly Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa. It has sent teams of experts to help locals deal with the epidemic and WHO plans to meet next week to discuss how to contain it.Relief workers on the ground said the epidemic has hit unprecedented proportions.
"The epidemic is out of control," said Dr. Bart Janssens, director of operations for Doctors Without Borders.
There have been at least 600 cases and 360 deaths in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, according to a WHO statement released Thursday. That's since the epidemic began in March, according to the latest World Health Organization figures.
Complicating matters, these countries have major medical infrastructure challenges and there is a real sense of mistrust from communities there of the help that has been sent. In Sierra Leone and Guinea, WHO has said that community members have thrown stones at health care workers trying to investigate the outbreak.
In April, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta traveled to Conakry, Guinea, to report on what was being done to treat patients and contain the outbreak.
"It took only moments to feel the impact of what was happening here," Gupta wrote after landing in Conakry. "There is a lot we know about Ebola, and it scares us almost as much as what we don't know."
Ebola outbreaks usually are confined to remote areas, making the disease easier to contain. But this outbreak is different; patients have been identified in 60 locations in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Officials believe the wide footprint of this outbreak is partly because of the proximity between the jungle where the virus was first identified and cities such as Conakry. The capital in Guinea has a population of 2 million and an international airport.
People are traveling without realizing they're carrying the deadly virus. It can take between two and 21 days after exposure for someone to feel sick.

That main stadium looks pretty different to what they originally had!
Is there much precedent of big changes once a city has snatched the rights?
Japanese TV going a bit overboard...

The one last night seemed to be called Rediscovering Japan or something. On every week? Last night it was telling us all why Japanese people are so good at keeping and respecting time.
(All of them, of course).
And foreigners are not.
