Since no one else commented - thanks for the Kotel simile day 13 - nice.

For anyone with even less Japanese than I have - the Yobidashi is saying Higashi (east) followed by the East Rikishi name twice, then turning, Nishi (west) followed by the West Riksihi name twice.

Again forgive my ignorance - what does (~) stand for in the predictions?

Thanks for sneaking in a bit of font day.

I wish more injured rikishi (Endo?) would take a basho or two off to recover and enjoy the trip back up from Juryo as final rehab.

Compared to what? I'm comparing it to the blank page it replaced and find it wonderful. Thanks as always.

I use the html5 option on youtube with firefox and have no problems.

I hope everyone who so appreciates Kintamayama's and Araibira's contribution will remember that, although we can't do the work for them, we can make sure it doesn't cost them out of pocket as well. If you haven't contributed in the last year, now is the time!

Kintamayama - domo arigato goziamasu. Subarashi deshta. Moti - toda rabah I am amazed at the care you put into the recaps. They keep sumo alive for me, and for many others. And effort is enough - please let us know if there is financial cost - because that we can fix!

I assume you've noticed how much Ikioi tries to look like Hakuho. Today, he did the mouth thing Hakuho does after a win. Of course, physically he does resemble the Yokozuna.

It's probably obvious to everyone but me but ... Can someone point me to a description of the codes Asashosakari uses in the promotion/demotion predictions? The numbers and o's and x's in parens next to the rikishi names.

Best of luck. I've have both eyes "fixed" and am delighted with how much better I see. I choose to have one eye set for reading and the other for distance so I can cope without glasses. I in fact wear variable focus glasses for best vision but can do active stuff like swimming and small boat sailing and finding the bathroom in the middle of the night without them.

Are the tour details set yet? Where will they be published?

Enjoy fershlugging your Lulav and Etrog. Hag Sukkot Semeach.

I must admit I'm not sure what you're referring to here. I've asked sumoforum to email me each new topic first post - which is all that's available. I then subscribe to interesting topics (such as this one) so I get all subsequent posts as emails. Why you may ask. Because I can follow a whole bunch of mailing lists at once in a reader, but have to visit each forum separately to follow that way.
