I would like to save other TripAdvisor users the disappointment we experienced! Went to the hotel & up to the 10th floor, only to discover that the space is now occupied by an Italian restaurant.
I had Googled it on the hotel website & there is still what appears to be an active page, which is why we felt so...
Kisaku is maybe not fancy, but what I care about in sushi place is quality. Of course Kisaku is not only sushi, but also interesting hot dishes and even tepanyaki (which I not tried, so no word about it)
But what I tried was very good. And I keep coming back, which is another good sign ;)
So - sushi...
A friend of mine told us to try it, and this was a very good advise.
This is definitely not the Best location, and the Al Khaleej Hotel is not super fancy, but the crew was extremely friendly, and the food was really excellent.
Very wide selection of meals, nice pictures on the menu that are very tempting, and actually...
Went there after a recomendation and it was just as i was told
Traditional restaurant with great food
Full if japanese customers
Loved maki and sashimi great and freshly prepared!!
Atmosphere was very good, the even have karaoke bar and private dining rooms
Must visit
I had no big plan for dinner, but I sensed a sushi craving (I even looked around lunch time at Yo! Sushi, not my cup of tea) ... so, I just looked around what was in my neighborhood and came across the reviews here and loved what I read.
So, a short walk later I find this no frills deco...
I've ben a regular customer of Kisaku for the past 2 & half years, it used to be my favourite sushi place in town. Unfortunately, the chef has changed, and along with it the entire experience. The sushis have lost their taste, the food has become oily and quite average. The staff has also changed and is nothing as attentive...
Don't judge this restaurant by hotel entrance because it's another world when you enter Kisaku Restaurant. Food is very nice and fresh that you can choose from massive menu. Green tea ice cream is the best in Dubai.
Kisaku is a Japanese restaurant located in the Al Kaleej Palace on the 10th floor. The restaurant does not look. The decor is standard, with room for private dining, great room and funds restaurant, a "live" cooking by chefs for sushi. Contrario, it irritates me that two TV proposed japonese channels.
We were 4 a Thursday night, a lot of...
A Japanese friend of mine recommended this place and ever since I don't go anywhere else for sushi. The quality, flavor and taste are the best. And the place is always full of Japanese, always a good sign.

She tries to resist, but Ronny lost his hand in an accident he blames on his brother, and has no scruples about aggressively pursuing her while Johnny is out of the country.

Pot Politics: On Vaporizing
Mitch Earleywine looks at vaporizers.
Mitch Earleywine looks at vaporizers.
By Mitch Earleywine
A lot has changed this year in cannabis prohibition. Science and policy march on. Legendary legalization laws in Colorado and Washington have generated astounding news coverage. Maryland is the latest state to change policies. A look at these states can reveal a lot about the research on relevant topics, too.
By Mitch Earleywine
Cannabis became essentially illegal in the United States in 1937. Perhaps this 75 year experiment has provided enough data for some informed decisions. We're up to over 800,000 arrests each year, with government spending billions annually on marijuana control. Yet more people have tried the plant than ever before. Several authors suggest that alternatives to prohibition might prove cheaper, send fewer people through our courts, and maintain respect for the law. It seems oddly un-American that a citizen can go to jail for owning a plant, especially here in the land of the free. But change is scary, and fear runs politics in frightening ways.

Partners formalize security agreement
January 21, 2009
Story Highlights
- Korean-American Alliance grows stronger
- Garrison strengthens ties with host nation military
- Americans enhance community relations efforts
Related Links
YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea - American and Korean military officials formally signed a joint security agreement in a Jan. 16 ceremony at Yongsan Garrison.
The Republic of Korea 218th Homeland Reserve Regiment and U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan updated a long-standing memorandum of understanding that enhances the partnership between the two units.
"We have been working closely with the 218th HRR over several months to streamline this agreement," said Robert Wallace, USAG-Yongsan base defense officer. "It's a better document now, and we've been able to enhance our relationship."
Wallace said the 218th agreed to augment base defense operations in contingency operations.
"We get great cooperation," he said. "That extends to working closely with each other on military exercises. We've got a lot of good things going."
The memorandum is the culmination of a lot of effort by the USAG-Yongsan Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobility and Security, the Republic of Korea Army Support Group and the 218th Homeland Reserve Regiment, Wallace said.
"This is also a key part of our good neighbor program," said An Chang-sin, USAG-Yongsan community relations officer. "The mil-to-mil relationships grow stronger through mutual respect and close coordination."
Soldiers from the 218th will host a friendship soccer match for USAG-Yongsan troops later this spring.

Our Mission
Our mission is to encourage bicycling in Lancaster by creating a fun, welcoming space where we provide access to hands on education and tools to all members of the community.
70% of all car trips in the U.S. are under two miles. Empowering more people to replace these short car trips with trips by bike can have a tremendous impact on everyone in the community.
We want to transform an old, abandoned pump house in Reservoir Park into a community bike shop where kids and adults can learn the basic maintenance and riding skills necessary to make biking a part of their everyday lives.
Why Bike?
There are many advantages to using your bike as much as possible! Individual health benefits are obvious, but it is also healthy for the community—reduced congestion downtown, an increase in local small business commerce, more streamlined and efficient transportation and a considerable reduction in pollution and other emissions associated with automobile use means using your bike instead of your car is one of the best ways to positively impact your community!
Lancaster has stated its interest in bolstering its bike infrastructure. This means that Lancaster will be investing in things like bicycle lanes for safer travels for those riding on public roads, as well as more convenient access to safe bicycle parking. Cities similar to Lancaster in size and demographic have undertaken similar initiatives and have established measurable improvements in local small-business commerce where businesses have provided cyclists with suitable bicycle parking. One of our missions at The Common Wheel is to educate Lancaster City Government, local small businesses and individual members of the community about the advantages to embracing a bike friendly community. Everyone benefits when more people use bikes.
People of all kinds ride bikes. Cycling can and should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age gender, language, skin color, beliefs, or income level. We want our space to be welcoming, inclusive, and helpful to as wide a variety of people as possible. Diversity brings a variety of perspectives and richness to any community.
Community is strength. Community allows us to stand together and advocate for a cause we believe in. It will take a strong community to help support and grow a bicycle movement. It is important that we embrace opportunities to join together.
Helping to improve and empower the lives of the people we serve is central to our motivations. We want to be conscious of the environmental implications of what we do and remember that bicycles are tools to help improve the lives of members of the community. We value the vibrancy of life and will look to incorporate joy and love in all that we do.
Board of Directors
The Common Wheel is a board-driven organization, with representatives from many facets of the Lancaster community. Meet our leadership:
Darren Finn
Darren is tax and business advisor for Simon Lever LLP. He has worked with many small business leaders and brings his knowledge of tax, finance, and stewardship to the board. He is relocated to Lancaster 3 years ago from Washington DC. Darren continues to be an enthusiastic city dweller and proponent of city living. He currently volunteers with Leadership Lancaster. Informed by over 15 years of DC city life, he believes that non-motorized transportation and access are keys to high quality of life and reduced road congestion. An avid runner and biker whose passion far exceeds his talent at either, Darren can usually be found on the city streets doing one or the other. His wife believes that Darren should get a pedi-cab to transport her and their two young boys around town.
Jerry Lapp
Jerry runs a trekking and adventure company called Skychasers that specializes in journeys to the high Himalaya of Nepal. Here in Lancaster, he's been heavily involved in resettling Bhutanese-Nepali refugees, through volunteering directly with the refugees and serving on the advisory board of CWS, the local resettlement agency. As well, every fall, he and his family organize the Pedal Harder Charity Ride in memory of his brother Glen, with the goal of raising scholarship money for nursing education. Jerry loves to use his bicycles for transport, exercise, and mind medicine. A three month bicycle trek from Tierra del Fuego north to the equator provided him with an untold number of cycling highlights and lowlights. Jerry enjoys traveling with his family and introducing his kids to new and offbeat adventures.
Dave May
Dave is the board chairman of The Common Wheel and manager at Quality Bicycle Products (QBP) east coast distribution center in Lancaster, PA. In addition to making sure that orders make it out each day to thousands of independent bike shops all over the country, Dave's primary roles include organizational development, coaching, and project management for a variety of teams and initiatives. He is also a company gatekeeper for time management best practices and the east coast sponsor for QBP's ACE (Advocacy, Community, Environment) program. He is an 11 year Lancaster City resident who commutes by bike every day, lives a car-free lifestyle and believes that bicycles have the power to change the world! His favorite bicycle memory (so far) is touring the Chagall, Calder, Picasso, and other public art installations in Chicago by bike.
Adriana Atencio
Adriana is the Marietta Market manager and has chaired the development committee for The Common Wheel since February 2015. A graduate of Franklin & Marshall College, Adriana has had the opportunity to travel through Europe and took part in the Rotary Club Exchange Year Abroad program in Torun, Poland. She loves cooking, all things Harry Potter, and traveling, and longs to visit South America. Her favorite memory on a bike was riding through a meadow in Poland, attempting to trace the border of the country when it was divided between two "friendly neighbors". She is excited to get to work to further the mission of The Common Wheel and help the Lancaster community!
John Caldwell
John is a co-founder and vice president of Caldwell, Heckles and Egan, a general contractor in Lancaster. He is also a part-time cellist, fiddler, and ski instructor.
Most of his favorite memories on a bike involve the loss of a few layers of skin and possibly some cacti.
Stu Smith
Stu is a Pre-construction Manager for Benchmark Construction. He has worked on fundraising efforts for clients of Benchmark and has assumed leadership roles on complex construction projects. He brings creative and analytical skills to the board and knowledge of the financial aspects of the organization.
Stu enjoys listening to and discovering new music. He also likes watching sports, practicing yoga, spending time with friends and family and riding his bike. Barcelona is one of Stu's favorite places and he yearns to go to Peru and to explore more of the West Coast.
Larry Keating
Larry worked as a lawyer for Armstrong World Industries and two other Lancaster companies. He has served as a volunteer for numerous community organizations, currently SCORE Lancaster, The Janus School, and Leadership Lancaster. Larry has been an avid rider and bike mechanic for decades and once rode slowly up Mt. Ventoux.
Lija Stoltzfus
Lija Diem Stoltzfus brings almost a decade of teaching experience and over a year of professional contributions in higher education to the Common Wheel board. Lija's love of bicycling began when she lived in the Netherlands where she witnessed an impressive commitment to the use of bicycles as the primary form of transportation. Lija hopes to contribute to both the education components of the Common Wheel as well as writing, event planning, and anything involving creativity.
Pete Andrelczyk
Native of Lancaster County. Attended Coastal Carolina University and majored in elementary education. Drafted by the Baltimore Orioles and Florida Marlins. Played professionally with the Marlins for 6 years before joining the Lancaster Barnstormers. Currently play for the Barnstormers while also working as Community Relations/Creative Consultant. I enjoy biking as a means of relaxation and transportation. Admittedly still in my infancy of bike knowledge and ability but have a willingness and eagerness to learn.

Dwain Price of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS reports that Texas Tech has not paid Mike Leach $1.7 million he is owed for "work he performed for the school during the 2009 season."
Like most football factories, Texas Tech compensated Leach with a small base salary supplemented by "outside income" sources. Those sources include radio and TV appearances and an apparel endorsement - a controlled by Tech officials.
According to Leach's contract, Tech is supposed to pay him $1.6 million in guaranteed outside athletics-related personal income. He also was slated to collect an additional $25,000 because Tech played in a bowl, $25,000 because the Raiders finished the season ranked No. 21 in the final Associated Press poll, $25,000 because Tech won five Big 12 games, and $25,000 because its football program's graduation rate was above 65 percent.
When contacted by Price, Tech Athletic Director Gerald Myers confirmed that Leach hadn't been paid most of his 2009 salary.
"His base was $300,000, and then his other [salary] was outside income. He's been paid his base. But there's a lawsuit going on, and I'm really not at liberty to talk about what Leach is owed and what he's not owed."
Texas Tech also released the following statement:
"Mike Leach has been paid what he is owed by Texas Tech. His mistreatment of an injured student-athlete was a breach of his contract and ultimately resulted in Mike Leach's termination. When he breached his contract, he no longer was entitled to further compensation."
Price cites a source in reporting that "Tech has the right to debate what money is owed Leach for the four years that were remaining on his contract, but not the money Leach worked for in 2009."
So far Leach has received zero support from his fellow coaches, including the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). But if Tech succeeds in not paying Leach for work previously rendered, that's an extremely damaging legal precedent pertaining to all college football coaching contracts.
If I was Leach, I wouldn't lift another finger in the current situation. There's no way the AFCA can afford to allow that sort of legal precedent to be established, so if you're Leach, why not wait for the AFCA to come in with its superior legal resources to engage Tech?

I'm trying to eat small meals but its near impossible finding food that I can actually have in front of me long enough to actually it eat. The smell of food makes me sick, drinking water makes me sick and just about everything else makes me sick lol. Working full-time in an office setting, its so hard to lay down or rest during the day. Any suggestions to help make it through the work day from the ladies dealing with all day sickness too?

In the past 10+ years I've worked with clients from 20+ different countries (counting the Republic of Jämtland to which I hold a life-time visa) on digital engagement, co-creation, gamification, 21st century capacity building and tons of other topics.
I prefer to work in settings where value is more than money, and engagement is more than a successful sale. So apart from forward-thinking multinationals, I work with cultural and heritage institutions, NGOs, authors and artists and I've even worked with the biggest political experiment in the world.
My solutions aren't predefined and range from facilitated workshops to long-term strategy design. I wish I could be more specific, but I fear our current-day challenges usually don't have off-the-shelf solutions. Read on and I'll show you what I've done.
The Museum of the Future started back in 2009 when I was asked by visionary museum directors Erik Schilp and Valentijn Byvanck to develop the new media & technology of the new Museum of National History of the Netherland. The museum never materialized, but the experiments we did proved a blueprint for cultural and heritage institutions around the world.
In the years since I've helped institutions around the world innovate and create value through digital media and new ways of working. On The Museum of the Future blog I have recorded nearly 200 cases of innovation in museums, many of them based on the work I've done internationally or conversations with the many bright people I've met.
What is the role of digital media and technology in peace building and conflict resolution? In other words: can the digital revolution ultimately make the world a safer and more respectful place?
The question has been triggered by work I've done with Cultural Heritage without Borders in the Balkans, online courses and communities I partake in and – in a way – George Clooney. I hope to be able to find answers in the coming years through a series of blogposts, articles and projects on the topic.Read my introductory blog
The Digital engagement framework helps you identify the value creation opportunities of digital engagement for your organisation and develop the strategies, processes and technologies to structurally engage your audience to maximize your co-created value.
The Digital engagement framework is developed in close cooperation with professionals in a variety of industries, including consumer services, gaming, leisure and culture & heritage, where the framework was initially launched. Currently, it's in use in 100s of organisations around the world.

Expiration Date:?Oct 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.18 lbs (0.08 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Fantastic - Swear by them!
I am convinced that AIRBORNE works. I have had far fewer days when I have had a cold this year, since I have been using it every day. I am a teacher and I shake every student's hand every day. I used to get colds very frequently. Since I have been using AIRBORNE every day, that has changed. I have also tried the other flavors, but the LEMON-LIME has the least after taste or residue on the glass. ( I use hot water. )

LOL Greater China 大中華地區..... I only hear that word in Asia. Didn't think WSJ would use it. I bet most readers here would think that the "damn Chicoms trying to take over Asia" lol
@Anonymous: The typo has been fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.
It might be inappropriate to just criticise Mr. Chen's action. After all, it is the Taiwanese who shown their appreciation for this hand to hand style distribution. Taiwan had very high donation rate. However, the allocation of fund has little supervision. When the orgnisations who handles the donation fund are all seems very rich, the direct-distribution from contributors to receivers might be a good and efficent alternatives.
Chen's act in Taiwan,which is not part of any Greater China, Pauil, but is a soveregin indie nation, get that straight, first, Chen's act has been called shameful by some DPP pols and others have said he has caused Taiwan to lose face. Chen is basically a big pig. He came to Taiwan and told reporters he believes Taiwan is part of "the motherland," He can go home please.

CORRECTION: Chen, known in China for his ostentatious style of philanthropy, has been the center of the Taiwanese media spotlight since he came to the island NATION late Wednesday night to personally give away more than NT$10 million, or roughly $344,000, to the poor in Taiwan, according to media reports.
Yes, sir.... a letter by Micahel Fagan in the Taipei Times on Friday said the same thing. Chen also
refers to the Taiwanese people as his "compatriots"...last time i checked, Taiwan is a free indie country....re: A Chinese tycoon coming to Taiwan to give away money the way Chen has is provocative enough, but the message on Chen's red envelopes ("When the sky is cold and the ground freezes the people still feel warm, the Chinese people are one family, like a torch in the winter") could easily be read as a call for unification between China and Taiwan, which has de facto independence.
Ur, Mr Mozur Poseur, Wu'er Kaixi, exiled 1989 Tiananmen Square protest leader, as quoted in the Taipei Times was denied entry into HK this week to attend an old friend's funeral under orders from CPC.
Sir,. Rose Luqiu, executive news editor at Phoenix Satellite TV. works for the HK media firm owned by China and she talkes orders from Beijing. Do your homework sir.
United Daily News is a united front newspaper in Taipei owned by Beijing lovers.....Do your homework sir
United Daily News is a pro-Beijing traitor newspaper in Tainwa
Antonio Chiang, a well-known Taiwanese columnist, writing in Apple Daily. He is more than that. He is a longtime advoicate of Taiwan freedom and sovereighjnty and he knows better than anyone here that Taiwan is not part of China.
Tycoon seems to rein in high-profile style of making donations .....headline in Taipei Times today
Chen and members of the entourage have maintained that they wish to keep the trip "low-profile," despite making media appearances, photo-ops and granting interview requests at almost every stop of his itinerary yesterday.
A large button on each of their lapels read: "This is a low-profile trip."
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Huang Wei-cher (黃偉哲), meanwhile, told a press conference that Chen, instead of showing the best in people, "appears to have brought out the worst."
His itinerary yesterday included a visit to the tomb of late pop singer Teresa Teng (鄧麗君), where Chen shed crocodile tears.
His actions, markedly toned down since his arrival, when he reportedly insisted on meeting personally with all recipients, still drew heated -questions by -lawmakers across party lines, who called some of the behavior Chen encountered "shameful."

Taiwan is part of China, at least that's what the united states of america legally acknowledge, and so do the united nations.
and when some body come over to extend his passion for the needies, in a way that skip the meddling of possible corrupted organization, what is wrong with that? There is law infringed. and it is what the people who recieve the donation feel that matters.
taiwan is an independent sovereign country. everyone knows that. no matter what stupid antics china and the chinese do to make people think taiwan is part of china, the fact is taiwan IS NOT part of china. the u.s. and the u.n. only go along with pretense that taiwan is not independent is so china/chinese would shut up their whining and complaining. unofficially, nations around the world deal with taiwan as an independent and sovereign nation. that is FACT.
Taiwan will never be colonized by China!
The fact is there is no representative of Taiwan in united nations and no embassy of Taiwan in USA. and recently in the state dinner for Mr.Hu, Obama said Taiwan is part of China.
Only corrupted former president Chen and some absent minded lawless folk deny that.
Taiwan will forever defend its independence!
reaction of some readers seem so paranoid and pathetic... no one outside the gui dao disputes it as part of Greater China... anyway it does not really matter, and no one will even care about it in just one decade
Taiwan's leadership willl aways be democratically elected by the Taiwanese!
pathetic as it is, why a donation to the poor would lead to such a histeria from those who never care for the needies.
@ dam e. bloome
White like you like to comment and interfere in other people country internal affair without understand her history.
Although my cousin stay in my grandfather land for the past 60 years, it still do not belong to him because my land title says so.
In the case of Taiwan, Gen Chiang KaiShek should have declared INDEPENDENCE the moment they fled to Taiwan Province. Instead with USA blessing they occupied the UN seat representing China as the Republic of China for 30 years.
The option and its consequences:
Further more, The moment Taiwan declared INDEPENDENCE, China has to enforce its "Taiwan anti-secession law" and that will force USA either to restudy its 1950 defense treaty with RoC and blindly take side or STAY OUT.
Unlike the 70s 80s or even 90s, USA is broke. With 15 trillion USD DEBT and no money USA has clearly lost its military and technological edges.
The war scenario will includes this: All the spy in the sky above - GPS, spy satellites will be destroyed moment before war ever breaks out - China tested its own version of space fighter X-37B, J20 stealth fighter, 022 high speed catamaran stealth missile boat. and the deadly supersonic Mach-3 SUNBURN or Mach 10 stratosphere entry DF21D will keep US aircraft carrier group 2000 km away.
PRC latest electromagnetic rail gun can destroyed the military base in Taiwan inch by inch.
So Taiwan best option is to maintain it status quo until the living standard of both countries is level and UNIFICATION is inevitable given the cultural. language similarity - Minan original from Fukian Province, just in case the dumb Western did not know and called it a Taiwanese indigenous language. Taiwan hidden aboriginal people exactly like those in Japan are overwhelm by the migrant from mainland and has clearly no right whether it is RoC or PRC that govern the states.
The Taiwanese will always elect their own leaders!
Using English names won't change the fact that you are nothing but a pathetic Dark Green Taiwanese separatist.
Taiwan is an independent country and not part of China? Yet when Taiwanese tourists run into troubles in foreign countries, they ask the local PRC embassies/consulates for help instead of going to those so called Taiwanese representative offices. What a JOKE!
i wrote:
The Taiwanese will always elect their own leaders!
There is no doubt about that but as the head of a PROVINCE or a part of PRC!
If only Taiwanese has the sole liberty of selecting their leader for the entire China, they do not mind either but definitely not the other way round according to the Taiwanese. Why? Because it is about POWER and not about election by all the people who resides in China!
How come the aborigine call for an INDEPENDENCE state of Naruwan who are the sole rightful owner of the Island was suppressed by both the KMT or the Green Party?
In USA, what happened to the original HAWAII INDEPENDENCE seekers, like aliens they seem to have disappeared!
Election does not guarantee REAL DEMOCRACY which like FREEDOM is alas a MYTH!
For example Thaksin is elected but was thrown out into exile by a minority YELLOW SHIRT backed by the military. So is the present Thailand Government legitimate? I doubt so but the ruling clique controls the Judiciary and the frightened Judges make a mockery of DEMOCRACY! Is India a real DEMOCRACY?
Asked the Assamese, Kashmiri, Khalistani, Bodoland Independence Seekers, etc.
Talk is cheap. If Taiwan really wants independence, then start declaring WAR on the PRC. If they won, then they can have their independence. How is that?
But first thing first, before declaring independence, Taiwan better cut all economic and political ties with the Mainland, and asks the 1 million plus Taiwanese currently in the Mainland to return to the Taiwan. How does that sound?
The aboriginal Taiwanese tribes better kick those Han Chinese settlers back to the Mainland so that they can have an independent Taiwan.

That would set dangerous precedent!
Now the indigenous people will also have to kick all the Han Chinese Settlers who now called themselves Japanese out of Japan as well. Japanese never admit they are from the China using the DNA to prove their case. But we Chinese knows that for a fact! Fortunately the natives are really very small in number compare with the mainstream descendant of the migrants and will not caused any ripple!
Then another problem arise after that! The indigenous people who claimed these island Taiwan or Japan also came from mainland China themselves. From the Province of Yunnan! DNA can proved that!
It is getting confusing!
Why not theorized and SIMPLY says they are all ONE BIG FAMILY originating from the same place called CHINA!
Typing mistake.
Japanese never admit they are from the China using the native DNA to hide their real identity!
Forget about Japan, it is a a slowly dying nation.
Taiwan's legitimate government is in Taipei, not Beijing!

Should read: The Taiwanese always elect their corrupt and incompetent leaders!
Lee Teng-hui – corrupt
Chen Shui-bian – corrupt and incompetent
Ma Ying-jeo – incompetent
Who's next?
KMT – always corrupt, bureaucratic and sometimes incompetent
DPP – always corrupt and incompetent
Taiwanese will always have a lousy government no matter who they elect. If not for the preferential economic policies from the Mainland, Taiwan would have gone down the drain and totally beaten (economically) by South Korea.
There are no corrupt officials in China? LOL !!
There are many. That's a fact. But Chicoms have always been the bad guys, right? So what's the big deal?
@ above
There are many. That's a fact. But China is totalitarian country and Chicoms are always the bad guys, right? So what's the big deal?
Okay, we all agree that Taiwan is NOT part of any Greater China region, since it is its own indie nation, bceause if Taiwan is part of Greater China as Paul Mozur pretends it is, then Japan is also part of Greater China, too, and the Koreas also, since those people also have Chines DNA. So does this mean America is aprt of Greater Israel since American Jews have same DNA as Israeli Jews? Paul Mozue needs to put his]
reading glassses on. There is no such thing as Greater China. How insulting!
Another question for all the Chicoms here: would the UK during 1938 have allowed a German Nazi philanthropost to come to London and hand out cash envelopes to the Dickensian poor in the UK? No way.
Would the Philipp8nes in 2011 allow Chen the China Philantropist Cry Baby to come to manila to hand out cash there? No way. WOuld Chen haev the cojones or LP to go to japan and trick this hand out trick? No way. So why when he comes to Taiwan, a completely separate country whosse people are not his compatriots (means fellow countrymen) does the Murdoch owned WSJ married to China girl allow this Taiwan trip to go unchalllegned.Funny!
The WSJ blog here calls this post "Greater China reactons" but all the reax cited above, all the quotes, are from news sources in Taiwan, which is not part of any Greater China Chamber of Commerce beeswax. Greater China? Who came up with that nonword? Funny, the WSJ is usually a rightwing conservative paper that is staunchly anti-communist but in this blog case with China, it's a love affair with Chicoms? Is somebody is somecody's pocket? To repeat: Taiwan, love it or hate it, is not part of Commie china nor part of any Greater or Lesser China. it's a new world. Taiwan is part of that. China is the old world.

Reply - It is legitimate even if it is in Beijing as long as UN recognized it! As far as UN is concerned, Taiwan is a province of PRC. That is the reality!

Reply - LOL! You says it! Nobody is defending the rest of Government of the world.
Is DEATH the penalty for the corrupt in Taiwan? If not, the possibility of corrupt being found guilty or jailed will amount to NOTHING and may return to corrupt for another day in the future.

Nonsense. the majority of the people here including the UN agrees UN is PART of China. Before indulged in China politic, take a lesson in Chinese History first.
Why the so-called Taiwanese who consider themselves alien to China keeping the National Treasure of China in its museum.
How about returning all the money they stole from the pre-1949 China Treasury vault back to PRC with interest before we talk about your sinister questions? The rest of your post is not worth reading, all GARBAGES and have nothing to do with the question!
Love it or hate it! Taiwan is an inseparable part of China. Declare INDEPENDENCE tomorrow and the TRIAD will be the first to assassinate your INDEPENDENCE SEEKING Politician, that is the reality!
Tantamount to declaring CIVIL WAR with China and war is bad for business to the TRIADS living in TRIADWAN! They may have to flee to Hong Kong an PRC SAR, Philippines or Japan!

I am a Hakka and a Taiwanese and I do not agree with you about seeking Taiwan Independence because I know the background.
My grandfather who was a diehard KMT Army officer fought bravely against the communist will shoot you for that alone. To him, Taiwan will always be a part of China although he disagree with the communist ideology.
As for me, like my Grandfather and father before me, Taiwan will always be a part of China just like Hong Kong and what more, if after reunification, we still keep our own arm forces.

So China top Policeman Li Gang son got six years!
Why is he in jail I am confused!
I thought only the poor peasant goes to prison and CCP cadre and their sibling are all immune to punishment!
You people are sure confusing me!
I want to start with another side of the coin, Chen is forced to behave this way in a sense. It was not allowed to do charity in private, and the state-owned charity funds are not run in a scientific way, and do not have applicable disclosure measures. That is why Chen decides to be such high profile.
I am from Mainland, However, Better little than nothing.
Taiwan is already independent and loving it!
Taiwanese are very good at "firing mouth canons" (i.e. boasting), Dark Green Taiwanese separatists are especially so.

I agree entirely.

In USA, the sentence for 1st time fatal accident drunken driving is not more than 3 years at the most. Li Gang son, a spoiled brat deserve it for threatening the other road users boasting that his father is the top policeman in China and there is nothing they do about it.
So it is not true, there is such a thing like law and order in China.
it's just about time when china takes back the island called taiwan, we don't want the taiwanese to be part of us, we just want to take back the island itself. so you bunch taiwanese can go wherever you want to go, my advice, go with your sugar daddy, the u s of a, that could be a place for you? just if you are lucky enough!
Taiwan will always belong to the Taiwanese
FYI , li gang's son has been sentenced 6 years in prison. today.
Taiwan belongs to the Taiwanese aboriginal tribes, not Han Chinese settlers.
We should all learn that it is not what we are on the outside that makes us different; but what on the inside makes us all the same.
Taiwan will be democratic forever!
So these DPP croonies and sympathizers are posting here to claim they represent Taiwanese? Give me a break!
Taiwan's head of state is President Ma !
There are 100,000+ homeless people in Los Angles, US of A need help badly also!
to be more substantive. democracy is simply a tool to deliver welfare for the public. but it can never guarantee anything. In Thailand they come up with the corrupted Thaksin who then kicked out by military force, de facto the government now was instated by the army. and live goes on.
on the other hand we witness the ever growing China, commi that help pull out member of euro zone from the deepening financial crisis. but on the same time, the commi north Korea is starving.
so a system, either capitalist (some call it democracy) or socialist ( communist ), is a mean that is much dependent on the men behind them to make it succesful or fail.
I live in the capitalist country and always forsake my vote, because i don't think it is right to choose some one who i don't really familiar for a public post
Taiwan is part of China, greater or lesser, simple as that.
By the way, I am Taiwanese. If someone speaks as if he is the sole representative of Taiwanes, so can I.
President Ma is elected democratically by the people of Taiwan!
and president Ma is the leader of KMT that clearly states in their party's line that China and Taiwan are inseparatable unity
President Ma is leader of Taiwan and President Hu is leader of China, with mutual respect!

This is family problem, none of your business here!

My apology!
To all those whiney Taiwan Independentistas,
You guys are really missing the ball with this incessant whine against China. Taiwan is de facto the 51st state of America -- needs US armed forces to protect your sea lane, Taiwan depends on US for dwindling market for your 'cheap sweatshop' products, your kids have to learn English (badly), you are forced to pay $6 billiion to Uncle Sam for unnecessary fighter jets and ammunitions (For what -- an imaginary enemy?).
Meanwhile, your real genuine aim ought to build Taiwan into the Silicon Valley of the East, if not the World, with the help of the humongous 'HOME' market that China's offering you. Instead, you guys remain the 'Manufacturing Slave State' that you were 20 years ago when The Economist gave u that label.
What a waste of talent and time-- it's squandered away in several decades of unnecessary conflict with your compatriots in China. While you have all those PhDs in math, science & engineering, your system's just Not good in Nurturing your GENIUSes!! PROFLIGACY of talent & money while misguided by the CIA to wrongly focus on creating 'mischief'' with Mainlanders, who had extended an olive branch to accomodate your business people. This is truly a case of 'fallacy of misplaced importance'. Tsk! Tsk! What a shame.
Look at your companies, still nothing more than sweatshops scouring the third world looking for cheap labor.
Think FoxConn, Hon Hai. Laboring at someone elses brand and production timeframe. No brandnames. No R&D All this talk about independence is plain Hogwash. You guys can't even dictate the price and spread of the deals you make with your sweatshop masters like Apple, Dell etc.
The fact is, and i am sure you know it, these American and European multinationals look down on you slaves because you don't have the enlightened intelligence to UNITE to truly EMPOWER yourselves. And assume your rightful place amongst the nations in the world with your head high with a creative, conceptual, knowledge-based economy. That's the real power, albeit 'Soft' power.
However, I honestly suspect Uncle Sam may not want or even allow you Taiwanese to compete head on with your 'Silicon Valley' counterparts in California. Hence, Taiwan wil always be the perpetual pet that does the master's bidding. Unless...,.,.you wise up!
If China's anticorruption crusade is working so well in cleaning up the Communist party, why is Beijing worried that some think that the campaign is really just a struggle for political power?
A trio of recent repressive actions by the Chinese party-state illustrates how far Beijing is willing to go to snuff out dissent.
Many observers now wonder whether the recent hammering of China's stocks and currency will have political fallout for Communist Party leaders. Not likely, writes Russell Leigh Moses.
The economy may eclipse politics as a concern for Beijing in 2016, but in China the two are always closely intertwined. CRT analyst Russell Leigh Moses outlines three major political questions that will loom over China in the months to come.
The conviction -- and disbarment -- of prominent human rights lawyer Pu Zhiqiang sends a stern warning to other lawyers and to other citizens who speak out against Communist Party policy.

- Student Marine Rifles Marie Morrow
- Feb 15:
- Critics aim to revise guns-at-school laws
- Feb 13:
- Aurora Young Marine headed back to class
- Aurora teen under the gun for mock rifles on school grounds
Marie Morrow hopes to go into politics someday.
I'd like to think the senior at Cherokee Trail High School in Aurora was inspired solely by a teacher or politician.
But after the week Morrow has endured, that dream will be at least partially fueled by her realization that legislative bodies sometimes pass wrongheaded laws that result in bonebrained situations.
In case you missed it, Morrow is an honor student suspended from her school for 10 days earlier this month. Her crime: storing three fake rifles used by her Young Marines drill team in her SUV. Which was parked on campus. In violation of a state law that says anything resembling a firearm, even a water pistol, is grounds for expulsion.
Cherry Creek School District Superintendent Mary Chesley is scheduled to decide Morrow's fate today. Morrow faces possible expulsion for the rest of the year or a return after serving the 10-day suspension.
Either way, it's a blot on her permanent record, the one teachers warned us about.
"I think the law is just really extreme," Morrow said. "It doesn't really cover intent. And that's what we're hoping to change in the law."
The law in question is Colorado Revised Statute 22-33-106, which covers public-school dismissals. It calls for mandatory expulsion for bringing a "dangerous weapon" onto school grounds. Weapons covered include "a firearm, whether loaded or unloaded, or a firearm facsimile that could reasonably be mistaken for an actual firearm.
That is Morrow's dilemma.
"She will be expelled unless the hearing officer decides no reasonable person could mistake the facsimiles for real weapons," said David Lane, her attorney. "And I think they do look real enough."
Lane hopes the expulsion is limited to time served, noting that at Morrow's Thursday hearing, Cherokee Trail officials testified about her good character and bright future.
Morrow has had a busy week. Not content to goof off during her suspension, she went to the state Capitol on Tuesday to ask for an amendment to the statute that factors in intent and extenuating circumstances. "I don't want other students to have to go through what I did," she said.
Lane applauds fine-tuning the law, passed in the wake of the April 20, 1999, Columbine High School massacre.
"Unfortunately, the legislative response to any Columbine situation is to eliminate all ability to use your brain and think," Lane said. "If you bring a facsimile gun to school, you're expelled."
So, the honor student with three dummy drill-team rifles stowed in her vehicle is punished as automatically as the kid who pulls a loaded Browning 9mm in geometry class.
As Charles Dickens' Mr. Bumble announced in "Oliver Twist": "The law is a ass."
Morrow plans to enroll at New Mexico Military Institute this fall, then enter the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, N.Y., in 2010.
"I felt awful at first because I didn't know how this would affect my future, but I think it'll work out OK," she said.
Morrow is feeling far less stress than her mom, Jennifer McGrew.
"She's doing great," McGrew said. "It's been far more emotional for me than her. She's found a way to turn it around and have something good come out of it."
Here's something good: a dose of common sense injected into the law.

It's probably been a looooong time since a leader of one of the political parties came to our district. David Steel stopped off for a photo at Rayleigh Weir in 1983, but we can't recall any others since then.
However according to Cllr Michael Hoy, the leader of the Green Party, Natalie Bennett, will be coming to Hullbridge and Hockley tomorrow.
Clearly the election there is hotting up…..
We'd like to officially deny the rumour that David Cameron was going to come, but was afraid of getting marooned in Watery Lane!

Big deal, tin pot party leader. Of all the countries in all the world, isn't it strange how many lefty foreigners freely CHOOSE to come to live in England and then modestly proceed to tell us how 'terrible' it and we all are, and how they do things better!! Note especially, 'Following her election as party leader Bennett told a press conference that the policies of the Green Party were "the only viable way forward for British people, for the world".' All on the back of a majority of votes she gained from within 3127 party votes cast nationally!!
Natalie Bennett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales
Assumed office 3 September 2012
Personal details
Born 2 October 1966 (age 46)
Sydney, Australia
Alma mater
University of Sydney
University of New England
University of Leicester
Natalie Louise Bennett (born 10 February 1966) is the leader of the Green Party of England and Wales. She was elected to her position on 3 September 2012. A journalist by profession, Bennett was editor of The Guardian Weekly from December 2007 until March 2012, and previously its deputy editor having also worked at other British newspapers.
Early and personal life
Bennett was born in Sydney, Australia. She was educated at MLC School for girls in Burwood, New South Wales. Later she completed a Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Hons) degree at the University of Sydney, a BA (Hons) in Asian Study through the University of New England, and a Master's degree in Mass Communication through the University of Leicester.
Her first job in journalism was at the Eastern Riverina Observer in Henty, New South Wales, Australia. She then worked for the Cootamundra Herald and the Northern Daily Leader in Tamworth. She spent two years as an Australian Volunteer Abroad working in the Office of the National Commission of Women's Affairs, before moving to the Bangkok Post newspaper, where she was chief foreign sub-editor. She has been writing for the Guardian's "Comment is Free" section since 2006. She is also a blogger.
Political career
Bennett stood for the Green party in the 2006 Camden Council election for Regent's Park ward and in the 2010 Camden Council election for Somers Town ward, losing both times. She was the internal communications coordinator on the national executive of the party from September 2007 to August 2011.
In January 2010, she was selected to stand for the Parliamentary seat of Holborn and St Pancras.She came in fourth with 2.7% of the vote. She stood in the 2012 London Assembly elections, becoming the fourth placed candidate on the London-wide list for the Green Party.
Bennett, who has considered herself a feminist since she was a young child, founded the Green Party women's group and is a trustee of the Fawcett Society. She became interested in environmental issues when she obtained a degree in Agricultural Sciences, becoming a member of the Green Party in 2006. On 3 September 2012 she replaced Caroline Lucas as leader of the Green Party of England and Wales. 3,127 ballot papers were returned in the 2012 Green Party leadership elections, a turnout of 25.1%. This turnout was defended by Bennett who said in a BBC interview "if you hold an election in the month of August you kind of expect that turnout won't be particularly high". Following her election as party leader Bennett told a press conference that the policies of the Green Party were "the only viable way forward for British people, for the world".↓
Strange, I've looked all over this article but still can't see the link to the Daily Mail.↓
Green Party policy:
'RR554 Therefore, all aspects of sex work involving consenting adults should be decriminalised. Restrictions and censorship of sexually explicit material should be ended, except for those which are aimed at protecting children. Workers in the sex industry should enjoy the same rights as other workers such as the right to join unions (See WR410), the right to choose whether to work co-operatively with others etc. Decriminalisation would also help facilitate the collection of taxes due from those involved in sex work. Legal discrimination against sex workers should be ended (for example, in child custody cases, where evidence of sex work is often taken to mean that a person is an unfit parent).'
[Green Party policy website- accessed 22/04/13]
Immoral madness↓
I can confirm that I did indeed visit today, and saw Watery Lane happily now not looking like that.
I also spoke to quite a few residents of The Dome and heard about their problems with lack of transport and pedestrian access, and around the issues affecting residents of park homes. If anyone would like to contact me about ways to improve the national legal framework and regulations, I will be happy to work with Green MP Caroline Lucas on the issue.
And in response to Mr Seagers, in case anyone was wondering, I am a British citizen – a status that I chose rather than it occurring by accident of birth.↓
Dear Alison,
I just saw your contribution. You might like to know that our policy of decriminalisation of sex work is backed by the Royal College of Nursing, the Women's Institute and the National Association. Of Parole Officers. The is considerable evidence that this is the best way to keep vulnerable women and men safe.
Mr Seagers,
Natelie Bennett appears to have had a very impressive education with excellent results. Are you able to tell readers of this site your educational achievements ?↓
Thank you for the information Natalie. However, I do not agree that advocating a more liberal stance on pornography and sex work keeps people safe. I believe that it promotes immorality and demeans people. I think that adopting such a policy would attract more unscrupulous people to the industry, placing more 'workers' in danger and requiring a high level of policing in times of scarce resources. I do not want to live in a society that decriminalises pornography.
I never vote on single issues but this is one of several policies that I personally feel to be morally bankrupt.
I could go on but I'm saving my energies in order to rant about UKIP and other such nasties.↓
Many years ago Britian joined the Economic European Community, over the years this body has morphed into something the British people did not vote for. It has imposed it's loony Heath and Safety / Human Rights / Mass immigration rules onto this country and UKIP is the only party that can rescue us. I think you will find your pro – European friends pretty thin on the ground.↓
The mess with the Euro gives UKIP some very easy targets at the moment!
But I really doubt that UKIP are the answer to anything. They still seem to be very much a one-man band under Nigel Farage. The most attention other UKIP members have got is when they are jailed- In 2007, Ashley Mote, an MEP who represented South-east England, was jailed on 21 counts of benefit fraud, totalling £65,000. In 2009, Tom Wise, former MEP for East of England, was jailed for two years after falsely claiming thousands in expenses.
In terms of policies, if UKIP had their way , we would be out of the EU, which would jeopardise so much of our trade. UKIP would scrap the directly elected Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly, which would probably lead to them going their own way. A UKIP government would be spending another 19 billion a year on defence which we couldn't afford. They would be encouraging employers to offer contracts with less holidays and maternity leave.
The EU has very little to do with the European Court of Human Rights. I suspect any problems with Human Rights Legislation are down to the way our courts interpret it (the rest of Europe seems to manage OK). Ditto with Health and Safety (the rest of Europe seems to manage OK)↓
The Mighty Oz, you appear to assume that because I dislike UKIP, I must be pro-European. I dislike UKIP because I dislike UKIP.↓
In our house we call that female logic……↓

Activities for Your Child & You
7 Family Games to Play Anywhere!
7 Family Games to Play Anywhere!
Remember those fun, informal games that parents and kids have enjoyed for generations—no batteries or equipment required? They're perfect this time of year when you're stuck waiting on a long line or caught in holiday traffic. Here's a refresher course in the classics, which you can adapt to your own family. The bonus: They help boost language, memory and other learning skills. (But you don't have to tell the kids they're educational.)
20 Questions One player thinks of an object, letting the others know only whether it is animal, vegetable or mineral. Then the other players ask questions that can be answered with yes or no.
For instance, if the object is a car (mostly mineral), the players will ask, "Is it bigger than a laptop computer?" or "Can it move?" The object: Guess the answer in fewer than 20 questions.
Botticelli Each player takes on the persona of a well-known person and offers only that person's initials as a clue. The questioners try to guess the identity of the person by asking specific questions that can be answered with yes or no.
The first questions may be general, such as "Are you alive today?" The player, answering in character as George Washington, for instance, may say, "No, I'm not alive today" without offering any other information. The next questions continue to zero in on the identity until a player correctly guesses the mystery person.
Botticelli is a great game for older kids who are familiar with people in the news and historic figures. It can be made more difficult by using just a last or first initial.
Categories One player states a "category" and the other players take turns naming items that belong in that group. The category can be as broad as "animals," or as narrow as "types of dogs."
Traditionally, a clapping rhythm keeps up the pace so players won't take forever to come up with a response. The category chosen determines how difficult or easy the game is. The game continues until players run out of ideas for the category.
Geography Each player comes up with a place name (town, state, country, etc.) that begins with the same letter as the last letter of the place the previous player mentioned.
Example: Player 1 says Spain. Player 2 has to name a place that begins with an N, such as New York, which ends in K. Player 3 then mentions Kansas. Keep going for as long as you can name a new place.
Ghost One player names a letter of the alphabet. Each player takes a turn adding a letter that contributes to the spelling of a word each has in mind. A player can be challenged if another player suspects the letter just added isn't part of a real word.
The catch: Players have to avoid completing a word. Each time a player completes a word, he gets another of the letters in the word ghost. Once a player has all five letters, he's out of the game But that person can then help, or haunt, other players.
Example: Player 1 starts with the letter B. Player 2 adds A. Player 3 adds L, having in mind the word balance. Player 4, thinking about the word balloon, adds another L, forgetting that it completes the word ball. The fourth player, having inadvertently spelled a word, would get a G for ghost, but stay in the game.
I Packed My Grandmother's Trunk Each player starts off with the same sentence: "I packed my grandmother's trunk and in it I put ___." The player completes the sentence with a word that begins with the letter A. For instance, "I packed my grandmother's trunk and in it I put an alligator."
The next player repeats the previous sentence and must add a B word. "I packed my grandmother's trunk and in it I put an alligator and a banana." In turn, each player has to remember what the past players have said and add an item that starts with the next letter of the alphabet.
Charades Players divide into two teams and each member writes a phrase on a slip of paper, folds it up and places it in their team's bowl. A player picks a paper from the opposing team's bowl and acts out individual words, syllables and other hints to depict the phrase.
This pantomime play hones communication skills as each player provides nonverbal clues to help teammates guess the right phrase within an agreed-upon time limit. The game has some formal conventions—for instance, gestures that describe what type of phrase is being guessed, such as making quote marks with your fingers for a quotation or placing hands together then opening them to signal a book title. But you can adapt the format in many ways.
Unlike the other games here, charades can't be played in the car, but it's a great party game once you get to your destination!
