    Yeah I rode the HSR in Japan and it was great but then I rode the German version HSR and my gawd it was slick as glass at 300Km/H. My water didn't even vibrate. I didn't get to try the one in China nor Spain yet but these HSR projects work, and they work great! In another 40 years maybe entrenched US auto and other billionaire interest will permit us to finally give up on 1880's Amtrack.

    Just read another article last week on the Koch brothers funding election protests around the country on ANY and ALL mass transit projects because they own seatbelt and other companies living off of the auto industry. So kill everything else because WTF corporations are citizens so why not... Grrrrrr

    Particularly vivid rant there matey, so were you fancying standing in line?

    Not these days ehh? She used to be quite the minx, I saw her at a Santa Monica grocery decades ago wearing a baseball hat to hide but not able to hide wearing short shorts and a double tank top braless. She's only like 5' nothing and 85 lbs, really quite small but curvy.

    Today? not so much..

    Tommy Lee and Sambora are purported to have extremely large penises...freakishly large...so having them, and now not, probably makes her a little cranky...
    When she is not beating her parents or kicking responders, she is said to be a really nice lady.

    I'd heard of Tommy Lee's weapon and her tiny frame probably had organs rearranged to accommodate.

    Look, she still looks good for someone who obviously needs a lot of help and is being photographed from her “bad side.”

    Chipotle to close up to 65 stores, revamp menu under new CEO
    by Alana Wise and Uday Sampath Kumar | Reuters — 7 hours ago

    Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc (CMG.N) will shut up to 65 underperforming restaurants and revamp its marketing under Chief Executive Officer Brian Niccol, executives said in the chain's Wednesday investor call on Wednesday, but few other details were given on what shareholders should expect under the new leadership.

    Chipotle's share price has risen more than 80 percent since Niccol's hiring was announced in February as the company focused on how the chain could raise online sales.

    Chipotle will add "in-app" delivery of its products to about 2,000 restaurants by the end of the year and launch a long-awaited loyalty program in 2019.

    Executives did not say whether fast-casual dining menu items such as quesadillas and nachos would be added to the menu, and they brushed aside a question about international plans, saying they would focus on "aggressive growth" in the United States.

    Shares fell about 3.0 percent to $443 in after-hours trade after few details were delivered on how the beleaguered burrito maker would innovate its business model and improve its digital service.

    "There are some key areas they really did not address, notably international strategy," Maxim Group analyst Stephen Anderson said.

    "Also capital allocation, particularly in regard to share buybacks and potential discussion for a dividend. I still think it will happen but it is probably going to be about a year or two away," Anderson said.

    Executives said costs from corporate restructuring would raise expenses between $115 million to $135 million, including about $50 million to $60 million in the second quarter. The chain will close 55 to 65 restaurants in the process.

    Chipotle also said it would launch a customer loyalty program in 2019 and is exploring offering $2 tacos with a drink as part of a proposed "happy hour". The announced changes come as the troubled burrito chain seeks to recover after a rash of food safety lapses dragged on the brand.

    After outbreaks of E. coli, salmonella and norovirus were linked to its restaurants in 2015, the company's share price plummeted as diners retreated and rival chains grew their numbers through wider offerings and clever promotions.

    While Chipotle made its name as a pioneer of "real" ingredients, critics of the fast-casual chain have complained that its menu offerings have grown stale.

    Niccol, the former chief of Yum Brands Inc's (YUM.N) Taco Bell who spearheaded the popular "Doritos Locos Tacos" and $1 Nacho Fries prior to joining Chipotle in March, is on track to bring some new flair to the chain's menu. Earlier this month, the company announced it is testing five new items, including quesadillas and nachos, at its test kitchen in New York.

    Analysts and investors expect Niccol to steer the company in a more modern direction, including through technology improvements, menu expansion and potentially opening the brand up to franchising.

    Analysts on average expect Chipotle's retail sales to grow 8.4 percent in 2018, following 15 percent growth in 2017 and a 13 percent drop in 2016, according to Thomson Reuters data.​

    The only thing more grotesque than the food is the regulars.
