Half a million dollars? That's almost as big as his annual Hennessy budget.

I've opened my home to numerous Japanese school girls.  No takers yet.

Read something earlier today, a bright spin on the tsunami- one of the villages wiped out was a major wailing centre.

A bad side- Scientology has their people in their trying to profit from those who have been badly affected <_<

You don't even see it, do you?  It's right there in front of you, stabbing you in the face, and you don't even realize it.

I see it now, I thought Yi was make a value laden statement rather than a spelling one so I wasn't looking for that at first.

QuoteRadioactive Water Levels Surge at Troubled Japan Nuclear Plant
Published March 27, 2011 | Associated Press


Emergency workers struggling to pump contaminated water from Japan's stricken nuclear complex fled one of the troubled reactors Sunday after reporting a huge spike in radioactivity, with levels 10 million times higher than normal in the reactor's cooling system, officials said.
The numbers were so high that the worker measuring radiation levels withdrew before taking a second reading, officials said.

It was not immediately clear, however, how long workers were exposed to the highly radioactive water or how long the levels had been that high at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, 140 miles northeast of Tokyo.
But it came as officials acknowledged there was contaminated water in all four of the complex's most troubled reactors, and as airborne radiation inside one reactor unit measured 1,000 millisieverts per hour -- four times the limit deemed safe by the government, Tokyo Electric Power Co. spokesman Takashi Kurita said.

While the discovery of the high radiation levels -- and the evacuation of workers from one reactor unit -- again delayed efforts to bring the deeply troubled complex under control, a top official insisted the situation had partially stabilized.

"We have somewhat prevented the situation from turning worse," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told reporters Sunday evening. "But the prospects are not improving in a straight line and we've expected twists and turns. The contaminated water is one of them and we'll continue to repair the damage."
