Been a criana fan for a while. This video should explain why.

I have become totally addicted to this Japanese game show channel. They put these guys in ridiculous situations and smack them when they laugh. I love watching for the stuff that DOESN'T translate — the foreign language wordplay and Japanese pop culture references.

QOTD: "Now, it's been a while since Ive had to translate, but I believe they're signaling their intention to dock."

Robert Reich, 2008: "The underlying problem isn't a liquidity problem. As I've noted elsewhere, the problem is that lenders and investors don't trust they'll get their money back because no one trusts that the numbers that purport to value securities are anything but wishful thinking. The trouble, in a nutshell, is that the financial entrepreneurship of recent years — the derivatives, credit default swaps, collateralized debt instruments, and so on — has undermined all notion of true value."
