You should use Firefox instead of IE. Firefox auto-wraps URLs and keeps Bill Gates from watching where you go. :)

"Ti" is the common pronunciation of that character in Hogen, Okinawan dialect, the romanization is not in error.

She's been featured in several videos and is quite strong. She's also gotten more fluid over the past several years.

Over the weekend I sat on a panel discussion about women and violence at a University. It was a very interesting discussion. A few key points shared (sorry I don't have citations) Fewer than 100 stranger abductions of adult women occur each year. It isn't that more adult women aren't abducted, it is...
