People who miss a pension payment or get behind in paying will not get PR.

It started in Nagoya then spread throughout the country.

My idea is this is the end of Putin. He governs Like this is the 19th century. He thinks he is like a czar. Even young men from Belorussia are going to Warsaw then heading for Ukraine to fight the Russian forces. The Russian army is a joke since Plan A did not work. They thought oh they will just give up in Kiev. Nope, those Turkish drones are doing wonders and Ukrainian soldiers are doing the night shift, hunting for Russians, blowing up tanks, stealing Russian tanks. Looking for the Z sign.

Ukrainian soldiers are brave and have high morale. They are willing to die for their wives and children.

I think Russian soldiers don’t want to fight Ukraine and feel guilty. Before Moscow existed Kiev was the capital and I think Ukrainians were Christian before the Russians.

it is almost like a nasty civil war. Lots of Ukrainians live in Russia, Lviv used to be a Polish city. The Poles make fun of the Russians and think they are the best Slavic nation. Now they are. Two million refugees in Poland. Krakow cannot do more. The generosity of Poland fills me with awe. I lived in Warsaw before and Siberia.

The Russian army is not paid well and is not well fed. Why should they die for Russia? Putin pretends to be a strong man but he is weak. The other issue is logistics. Russian tanks ran out of gas. WTF? This is war they thought they would win. Putin can fire the generals but at some point he has to quit, kill himself, or get killed, go into exile since he is a failure.

I went to Yokohama. Failed at first. Second time I passed. Was in the car with an angry Brazilian. He failed. Speak politely to the cop and watch out with left turns. I practiced with a school next to the site on Sundays for a month. The hard part is the window opens at 8:30 and get there before it closes. Otherwise wait until 1:00 p.m. They give people a hard time. One Estonian said she had driven illegally before. Apparently if the US gives Japan information from each state the test will just be on paper but that will not happen.

Maybe ARK could help with a fund me campaign. I think the problem with feral cats is that they cannot be adopted. They are too used to the feral life.

ARK rescued animals ten years ago.

I recommend Sapporo's beer brewed in Shizuoka. Draught beer is very smooth.

With dogs it is harder. Most places won't rent to people with pets.

I am thinking of buying a place in Osaka but to save money i have to think about a bit of a hike to a train station.

Kanto can be quite expensive.

Darkish is getting older so he relies on breaking balls. I think he has reinvented himself and he is relying on deception now by using different speeds.

Theo Epstein has a year left as general manager so this is a salary dump.

The UK had better get used to humble pie instead of French cake if it ends up being a No Deal Brexit.

Yamaguchi's wife left him. He may have a kid too.

Wife left him.

Blood alcohol level of .75!

And the driver in front of him was an off duty cop. Looks like a fender bender. It could have been worse.

I was in Doshi last week. The river is shallow. My bet is kidnapping and it was odd someone on social media threatened the mother. She just wants her daughter back. I saw the poster of the girl at Michinoeki.

The bank was next to it. I think the injured came from there.

NHK reported that the dead man was doing some work on the walls, like changing the wallpaper.

Windows blew out as far away as at Koriyama's Women's University.

I think in Minnesota the book To Kill a Mockingbird is to be banned. Goodbye free speech.

The Interpol travel passport is not recognized in Turkey.

So if he used that, how was that possible?

I assumed he had a Fake French passport.

Apparently the Osaka girl was not living with her father and she might have a father complex.

Sad story. Good it is all over.

Tough call but considering this happened very close to where I live (next to my neighborhood, in fact), I have to question what the police did.

Also, as I live in the ward my taxes pay for these cops.

It means something since I used to live near where Iwasaki lived. In fact I used to walk my dogs near the house

for over four years. It is hard to believe a hikikomori could live like that, in a room upstairs. It is a quiet neighborhood with quite a few elderly residents.

KIT will hire non- native teachers with a MA. They tend to go to a college in Vermont. So that is why I asked.

So they met in the US. Did they study in Vermont?

I think they were not wearing seat belts. I think it was reported on TV.

I am from Vermont and I am reading. My mother is buried in Williamstown and my cousins are in Boston.

My aunt is near Alewife. The cold is nothing compared to Minnesota.

Given the silent treatment. Having a boss who knows the answer to something, yet lies and says he does not.

General passive/aggressive behaviour.

Oh, and always talking to another employee about me and he has to relay information to me.

Nhk reported that the victims were 65 or older except for one wbo was 48.

Actually one incident was shown on TV. From security cameras, the people were speaking English. They sprayed a train and were walking around between a station in Tokyo one night about 3:30 a.m.

I couldn't tell if they were native English speakers or using English as a common language.

It was on Youtube some time ago. Not the Stone Roses, some no name Manchester band.

There was a video stating that Oasis stole these melodies.

I heard what was done but I cannot say whether it was stolen. Anyway,

like or loathe him, Liam was a good singer.

I heard somewhere that Oasis stole a lot of ideas from some band in Manchester.

By that I mean some of the guitar parts or melodies. Is that true?

OK, i just get the letter every couple of years to apply for the council. If it is just public relations, too bad.

Giving up 8 Sundays a year seemed a bit much, plus the two year commitment.

Better than other cities. I never got PR but I read somewhere that it was posssible.

As I may move out of Kawasaki, it doesn't matter.

Now I remember. They had that weird cover on the album that came out in 1992. They did get airplay on college radio in upstate New York in Ithaca, at WICB in Ithaca College. Youtube is good. You can check out live in San Francisco in 2009 at the Fillmore playing Courage acoustic as the crowd sings along.

Also live in Syracuse, same year.

Foreigners who have PR and live in Kawasaki can vote in local elections. There is also a foreigner council that meets about 8 times a year where they discuss various issues.
