NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Washington, D.C.'s workers like the highest salaries of any major U.S. city., with a median household income of $85,198. The nation's capital fared better than most of the relax of the country in 2009, according to the Census Bureau's annual survey of income and poverty in the United States, which was released on Tuesday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- silly how CNN calls them 'workers' when DC is the one place where the saying "It's not What you know but Who you know" applies more than it does to those 'bad corporations'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another Source - WMAL.com WASHINGTON -- Once again, DC proves that the city lives in an economic bubble.

Resolved Question: Any one know how much in Hong Kong?

Hey does anyone know how much tennis rackets are in Hong Kong? Tennis rackets are usually around 20-30 percent more expensive in to buy in UK than US. Im guessing its the distribution and sky high tax rates in UK. I'll be going to Hong Kong soon, as i recall, the things there are usually slightly cheaper because they have low tax and its massive market over there. Most things are produced in China so distribution are prolly cheaper than other places. Plus for £10, i receive 130 HK dollars. Does any1 know how much a typical racket like Wilson BLX six one tour and HEAD youtek Radical/Extreme costs there? Does any one know any retailer or website who sell tennis rackets in HK?

Voting Question: Help, Boyfriend with PTSD and anger.?

I need help. I have been dating my boyfriend since January. He has been out of the Marines for four years after 3 tours in Iraq. I am currently 8 months pregnant (we found 3 two weeks after dating we were expecting) From the first time we have gotten into an argument I noticed that he fought differently than anyone I had ever been in a confronataiton with before. I asked him to seek help and when he went to the VA clinic he was brushed off and they told him he was just experiencing normal stress and didnt have PTSD, When we battle he is ruthless, says things he cant take back that still haunt me every time I close my eyes... He has never been treated for PTSD, even right after returning home. I have been reading multiple articles and trying to figure out what I can do to show him how much his anger stresses me out and is extremely offensive to others and how its not normal to react this way. His possess mom has told me on multiple occasions he treats her this way, and she just avoids conversations that leads to arguments because she doesnt want to upset him. (which doesnt help me because his possess family wont tell him he needs help or how he reacts is extreme) I am pregnant and hormonal and know someitmes I receive upset for no reason, so I just try to not nag and hold things in, you know how they say pick and pick your battles? But today I was called "rude and an asshole" because I want my normal cheerful self and didnt say much to him. I feel like I am alway walking in egg shells just to keep the peace. I sob myself to snooze and he just ignores me, never consoles me. He caused a very close pal of his to quit his softball league because of a bad call in a game, his pal said he quitbecause he became so mad over a game. I feel like every confrontation between he and I or he and someone else gets the same measure of reaction, extreme anger and its never his fault theres always a rwason he acted that way. I adore him so much and try everything I can, the way I respond, trying to let tiny things go, we are great as long as there isnt an arugument... I just cant spend the relax of my life holding in my feelings because he considers it complaining and we receive into a heated argument and leaves for hours at a time, PLEASE help!! What do I do for him and us? Should I be worried about the anger in relation to stress levels? We are expecting a baby next month and I know what the first 3 months are like, and im am fearful!!!

Resolved Question: How can I pull off the Emo/Scene look without looking wild?

I adore the Emo/Scene look, and I'm almost an adult, so I can dress and receive my hair done how I want. HOWEVER, I still have to live with my parents for a while. They run a tiny business, which is where I'm going to work. And my dad's conservative, so he won't let me do certain "wild" things with my appearance while I still live here. Also so customers don't receive freaked out when they look me. So... -I can't dye my hair an "unnatural" color like pink, purple or blue. He will, however, let me dye it blonde, black, and stuff like that. -Have streaks in "unnatural" colors. So, basically, I can receive black/blonde/brown streaks, but not pink/purple/blue. -I can POSSIBLY have extensions in "unnatural" colors. He hasn't decided yet. It depends on how real they look, maybe. If they look like it's my actual hair, no way in hell. If they look like colorful hair clips, maybe. -No real tattoos, BUT temporary ones are a-ok. -Any nail polish color is fine, including black. My mom wears black nail polish sometimes, even. Eyeliner and eyshadow are fine as long as they aren't extreme. My mom even bought me purple eyeshadow and black eyeliner. -Bows, hair clips and so on are a-ok, no matter the color or size (I think, if they cover the whole head it might be a bit much, but I'm not sure). -Piercings are a big no-no, except I could receive my ears pierced (but haven't). -I can wear basically any nice of shirt as long as it doesn't have anything obscene on it, or is too skimpy. So band shirts and such are fine for sure. Shirts with cute characters are defiantly fine. My dad even bought me a band shirt and a pink Pikachu shirt from Hot Topic. -I only wear skirts and dresses, not pants or shorts. This isn't a rule, I just don't like wearing pants and shorts. But, they can't be too short. Basically, knee length or longer. Aside from that, any color or pattern is fine within reason. Also, a few other notes: -My dad has no idea what Scene or Emo fashion is. The trick is not letting him know about the negative stereotypes (like that every Emos clip and that every Scenes are spoiled wealthy brats), and not letting him think it's Goth (which he has the typical Republican view of). Also, not letting him know about the outlandish ones, or assuring him that only some people in the fashion dress "crazy", but not every. -Despite being conservative in both politics (he's a fan of Fox News...) and dress (His idea of a wild outfit is wearing his bright blue shirt. I'm not kidding.), he actually doesn't really care about what I like or hear to. In fact, he loves rock music. Mostly older bands, but I introduced him to some of my favorite bands, and he likes some of it. He took me to Green Day and Linkin Park concerts and enjoyed both. Especially the Green Day one, that concert blew him away, and he wants to look them again. And he's going to take me to an Evanescence concert when they tour, and hopefully Flyleaf eventually. Sooo... liking something makes you a wannabe? Wow, how narrow minded. I guess wanting a cat makes you a cat wannabe?

Resolved Question: How do rock artists get money for their life?

I mean, artists like Asking Alexandria, Attack Attack!, or maybe for the more extreme ones, like Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Nile..well the main thing is bands/artists which weren't as popular as the mainstream ones. I believe they will not rely only to the income that they receive from their band. So, are they work too? And if they also work while in a band, what would they do if their band had to tour around the world (say) for a year? Are they need to take some day offs from their work place? Or what?

Resolved Question: Pic taken summer of 2010 in St. Augustine, FL, in front of the Tolomato cemetery. Natural explanations?

http://i51.tinypic.com/359mhxj.jpg It was the only picture I got that came out quite like this, while I did receive other odd pictures from that same cemetery, none of the hundreds of pictures I took came out ANYTHING like this. I was riding in one of the ghost tour trains. The people are a walking tour group, there was absolutely nothing between me and that tour group, not even windows as these buses are windowless, yet somehow the anomalies seem to appear to be between us as they block out parts of these people's bodies, almost completely. My camera was a digital one, from the canon powershot series. I've been using it a long time and never picked up anything like this before or after despite having taken thousands of pictures with that camera. While I believe in paranormal phenomena, I try to remain skeptical enough to actual be a decent investigator in the field, and I go to every extreme to DEBUNK any potential evidence before I consider it possibly paranormal. With many other photos I took, I found possible natural explanations for the phenomena, but this is the one that has kept me stumped every this time. I'm not incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to photography, so while I've looked at different times of camera malfunctions and lens flares that can occur, I have never been able to find anything quite like this. I'm hoping that someone can give me an idea of what could have occurred to make this picture arrive out as it did. Any suggestions or explanations of what it could be are appreciated. I was moving at the time, so I've considered the blurring thing myself, but what I can't figure out is what was blurred. Perhaps it's part of something I don't understand about photography, but for blurring to occur even while taking a picture while moving, there has to be something there to blur. I've gotten plenty of pictures blurred as a result of taking them moving, but the colors that blur are that of an object or something that was actually in the picture, and clearly seemed to be so, but like I said, there was nothing between me and them, no lights or anything, not even a window, so while blurring is to be expected, I don't understand how something can blur quite like that, seeming almost solid enough to block out things that WERE there at the time, and be formed from colors and shapes that were not gift. Not saying it couldn't be a correct explanation, but if someone understand how that works, I'd like a little more explanation about what happened here to create colors and s

Resolved Question: What is the best watch for an Adventure Guide?

I am currently an Active Duty Marine, looking at what I want to do when I end my active service here in the next couple of years, and I've decided to try and use my GI bill to finish my Bachelors in Outdoor Parks and Recreation with the goal in mind of becoming an adventure guide/instructor. I'm looking for a multiple purpose watch that I can use for both skydiving and scuba exploration, as well as the usual outdoor adventure type activities (camping, hiking, touring, etc). So far, I've only managed to find one, the Suunto Observer TT Wrist-Top Computer Watch with Altimeter, Barometer, and Compass; but it looks like this watch is still more specific to just the camping/hiking activities. Does anyone know of a watch that can handle more extreme activities, or am I just going to have to buy multiple watches for the various activities I do? A simple waterproof watch won't do because: a) I need an altimeter when I skydive to let me know when to tug the rip cord, or I could die; b) I need a depth meter when I scuba dive so I know how long my air supply will last and how slowly I need to surface, or I could die; AND c) I like nice things. I've been saving my entire career for this and I'm not going to settle for some $4 special; because frankly I want something that shows the work and passion I've put into it.

Resolved Question: Magic The Gathering vs Yugioh?

From what I've seen many people say magic is better than yugioh. I personally cannot believe this! Someone tell me where I am wrong? 1. Well for starters magic the gathering has better artwork. that i have to agree with 2. Magic has more players than yugioh? This one i'm not sure about, seems pretty similar to me. Yugioh just has loads of kids, and magic has loads of adults. it's equally popular. If you pick a random person on the road he's likely to say idk what magic is to idk what yugioh is. 3. Magic is cheaper than yugioh? Well i receive the point if you compare a yugioh structure deck to a magic structure deck (yugioh 10USD, mtg like 3-4USD). but i disagree otherwise, since a dark world competitive deck would cost max 50 USD while a card Jace is over 50 USD by itself. maybe jace is an extreme example, but yugioh singles don't go past 6 USD usually, while mtg it gets to 20/30 USD for the best(close best)/expensive cards. 4. yugioh has no 'standard' which leads to overpowered cards. This is sorted by the banlist, although IMO it's not tight enough. Magic does have a standard and calculates what cards to make with an R&D team, but the problem about standard is your cards are pretty much trash after 2 years (well you'll have to play EDH). I think i prefer to keep my yugioh cards. 5. Magic cards retains value and yugioh doesn't. Well yeah thats true, but of course magic cards value also fall, while yugioh cards were never super expensive in the first place. 6. Magic> yugioh combination of decks. I disagree with this, it's pretty damn similar now, look at the amount of themes there are! 7. Yugioh is every about money. Well, so is magic! If i pay more, i will receive better cards!! Lets look louis scott vargas trying to cease me if i use a tier one deck while he uses some crappy structure deck. He will lose. Thats assuming, of course, i am actually thinking and i know common stuff like card advantage, tempo, combinative power, and some basic tactics etc. 8. Prize money, yeah i'll have to surrender this one. Magic has loads of prize money 40k (though it's still not possible for normal people to go for.) Yugioh has more cards for the winner (okay which sucks more than mtg). but seriously, how many people actually receive 40k? 40k isn't that great big of a deal compared to chess. 9. Magic you can build your possess decks and there's more strategy in deck building. Well i giggle at that cos it's utter crap. You just follow the tier one decks posted in the internet, and poof! a great deck! Well if you made your possess deck it's worse than the tier one deck, or else you would have been in some pro tour tournament right now. Same goes for yugioh. 10. The most controversial of every. Magic players say mtg is more strategic than yugioh.It's harder to play, and more complicated. Yugioh is too quick, and requires no strategy. There is some truth in this statement.Both are have similar themes in it. Well magic there may be instants and surprises and simple tactics, but to call magic very difficult is ridiculous. Once you learn the common knowledge, the difference between an expert and an intermediate is close impossible to tell. I've probably never calculated more than 2 steps ahead. You play chess, you learn the sicilian defense, and you play against a master, who can calculate 10 moves ahead. Chess games require a hell load more thinking than this card game. To go on about chess would be off topic, so I will end here. Magic is harder than yugioh, but you are comparing something easy/moderate to play to moderate to play. REFUTE MY ARGUMENTS! well to conclude, magic is more complicated to yugioh but more expensive. I think it's balanced! @james D- i'm not sure about where you receive the crazy prices of dark world-buy the structure deck. it costs 10 USD, and contains tour guide in it. Buy three, and poof a dark world deck =.= staples like mirror force are 1/2 USD. well at least in hong kong it is, i know in US our structure decks are different the cat costs like 4/5 US in hk @how would i know top yugioh player not equal to top chess player in amount of skill needed. same goes for magic, although magic is a bit harder so in this case, most countries magic is probably the better game then, i have to agree if the price of ygo cards is so ridiculous

I am just going to be honest with you guys. I did 3 years in the army as enlisted and also did one tour in Iraq. I got out as an E-4. While in the army, i shamed out of pt sometimes ( probably 1 to 3 times during the 3 years ), and also got corrected on uniform and hair clip a few times ( which was usual for junior enlisted ). However i never have an article 15 or got myself into "extreme" trouble beside the uniform and hair clip matters as saying over. I never got into any arguments with my NCO or complained about tasks which were given by them. Most of the time i stayed out of their sights unless i was called by them. I got out because i figured that enlisted worked long hours but didn't receive pay much ( really, an E-8 who is in for 20 years and he makes almost as same as an O-3 who is in service for 4 years ). Another reason was that i hate doing "gay" details such as cleaning up bathroom and the higher up office once in a while. I am in college for about 2 years now and thinking of coming back to the army as an officer through ROTC. Most reason because of the money ( not every people who are in the army because they want to serve the country) and i like to work in office ( paper works pushing ). I don't care to work long hours as long as i receive good pay ( unlike enlisted ). How is officer daily life different from enlisted ? and what do officers do everyday ? ( i didn't know what my LT daily was like because i usually didn't receive to look him much unless at start or end of the day formation ) Am i a bad enlisted ? if so, i guess i shouldn't arrive back then ? Please provide me with polite answers and since i am writing this question from my phone so please excuse some " mistake ". Thank You So Much For Your Time : ) Note : i don't plan to stay in for too long either. Probably 3 to 6 years to receive experiences on my degree to receive a job later. I know that we don't always receive to do our job in the army, so i am just hoping for the best.

Open Question: Everything he does is p*ssing me off But i love him! Hes not LISTENING to me?

Maybe its because Im on my period But everything he does at the moment is p*ssing me off! I feel inadequate next to him, I feel really tiny and unconfident?? But I think about leaving him and I feel sick - I cant leave this guy I adore him! But things like I know every about him, his family, his heritage, his lifestyle, I feel like I know him inside out, But I dont feel like he knows me at every! While im chilling with him he shows me videos on Youtube about his hometown, Like virtual tours, he shows me videos of events hes been to in Ibiza, and of course every the videos are topless women shaking their plump bottoms about! I have a very good figure, I feel gorgeous with myself and how i look, but i dont feel like he sees me as "sexy" as the way he sees these dancers, because iv never been in a situation where i can dance around in my bikini with him! He says to me "You wouldnt be able to handle spain ;)" in a joking manner, but he doesnt hear to me when i try and tell him about my background.. 3 years ago I had been to 2 extreme glad hardcore underground raves, 6pm- 6am! And he tells me i cant handle a nightclub in spain! He says he will take me there, then he says "Nooo you wont be able to handle it", so as you can guess, this has been the situation for 2 years! Still no trip to spain despite always being promised Normally I adore chilling out with him, i adore listening to his stories, i adore being with him, breakfast in bed, the most perfect boyfriend iv had in my life yet, but recently iv been starting to open up about my background, and it feels like he doesnt give a sh*t! I try and tell him a story about my childhood and he interuppts! or puts some music on, I shared with him my favourite ever tune that i have Never shown anybody before, and he changes it halfway through, he doesnt realise how much value this stuff is to me, im an old romantic! I dont know, i feel like if he doesnt want to hear hes not going to hear, theres no changing him. even when i cease silent in the middle of a sentence he doesnt seem to notice -.- , but iv adopted a more self-respecting approach towards myself, and i know i dont want to be with someone if he doesnt hear to me But before finishing it, which i desperately dont want to do, what options can i try? I want to exhaust every options before admitting defeat xxx

Resolved Question: Why is GLAAD against Adam Carolla?

http://www.glaad.org/adamcarolla Why is it that groups like this(Not gay groups, but that feel like slightly extreme groups of people trying to push an agenda) always seem to be so easily offended by everything? I mean, the guy is a comedian, it was at a live show, and the guy's job is to riff off of random news topics and make up silly things on the spot. Besides that, comedy is usually done at someone else's expense, why can't that someone else just fucking go with it instead of complaining and demanding shit? It seems like we are making our way into an age where no one can talk their mind anymore out of fear that somebody will receive offended. Why do groups continue to do this to people like comedians? Their job is to make people giggle, why is it so difficult to just let them do it? Why is it when Tracy Morgan apologizes, it's not enough and he has to tour the country doing a job he doesn't want to do? And finally, what is the limit? When do we receive to a point when people are finally content and can cease complaining about stupid shit? So, can anyone tell me why groups like this(again, not gay groups, outraged douchebags, because I know someone will attempt to be offended) continue to act this way? Actually, C C P, I am a black guy, and I probably would have laughed if he said that too. You look, it doesnt matter what the statement is as long as there is a good setup, a point, and it is made with comedic inflection.

I have extreme Teutophobia that I just can't receive over. Every time I think of Germans or Germany, I imagine Hitler standing over me screaming "Sieg Heil!

Resolved Question: Good places to travel in November as a young, single female?

At the end of the year me and my boyfriend of 2 years are planning to have a break for a period of time (possibly 3 months or so?). During this time we plan on travelling, meeting new people, and just doing anything we want to do so we do not live with regrets. My question is, where would be a great place to travel alone in November/December/January as a 19 year old, single female just looking for a good time and to meet other young people? I did want to go to Europe but I'm not so keen on the extreme icy. I would preferably adore to travel with a group of young people such as on the contiki tours every suggestions appreciated :)

Resolved Question: I am prescribed ciprofloxacn && am having bad calf pain && my doctor won't change my antibiotic?

I got prescribed 250 mg twice a day for 3 days for a uti, I know it's not a big dose so I was not worried. I've had uti"s before but never taken this medication. I woke up the night after taking my first dose with extreme calf pain. I put it off because I am an exotic dancer & I figured it was just maybe a bad night on my legs. I continued with the medication yesterday & after taking my night dose at work I started getting back, knee and mid calf pain. Also nausea. When I woke up today, I couldn't even stand due to calf pain. I called my doctor and he said "on such a low dose, it's not tour medication, go to the er, it could be a blood clot. When I asked if he could simply change my meds he said he wouldn't because he didn't think it was related to them. Amoxacillin is what i usually take, what should I do? Could both my calves tensing up be a blood clot, even though it started after taking this antibiotic? Please, any advice helps.

Resolved Question: cant figure my life out?

ok.... I have an extremely difficult time figuring out what i need to do in my #&$*ed up situation. Here's my story I was in the Army for 5 years, joined right out of High School, Spent 2 years in Iraq. I got out after my last tour overseas, since my time was up and I wanted to attend college and do something different. But about 5 days after arriving home, I got sick and stayed sick even 2 1/2 years after getting out. I probably have a mix of Lyme disease and Chronic mercury poisoning. The mercury was diagnosed ,but not the Lyme yet( I was bit by a tic). I had spent thousands of dollars on doctors since the VA doctor I had just kept telling me its every in my head.....,also spent lots of money of supplements and trying different diets(healthy food is expensive), so now I am pretty broke and work at a grocery store, and can barely do that because I have in constant fatigue and cloudy thinking every the time, because I have low blood sugar , extreme insomnia, malabsorption problems and much more. My doctor says I need to do every these things to receive the mercury out but I cannot afford it and have very low energy and cloudy thinking, I cannot do the things I want to do. I cannot receive any disability pay for my problems. Most of my family arent very supportive and they call me a hypochondriac, I do noT! have PTSD or any psychiatric disorders. I only feel like crap every single day, no energy , cant snooze, and very cloudy thinking, sinus pressure that causes me to have sinus headache every the time. It never ends, I have researched the web for every sorts of curres, none of them even remotely help or have any effect. Hypoglycemia diets dont work / Candida diets dont work. im pretty helpless... please offer me some advice ; ;

Resolved Question: My idea of what to do with curt Hawkins ?

Note:this will only work if edge is staying in a non wrestling role (I think he is staying because he went on the europian tour). At extreme rules after Christian has won the world title edge comes out and hugs Christian but then out of no whear hits the edgecution on him and then gets in the corner and acts like he is fixing to hit the spear but gets up and says I'm retired and waves for someone.every of the sudden curt Hawkins runs out and spears Christian.edge's music plays and they leave. At smackdown edge cones out and gives his explication and then he says please welcome my brother (I think calling him edge's brother would push him a little more) the new rated r superstar curt hawkins You think you know me followed by a remixed version of in the middle of it now would play and curt Hawkins would arrive out. Before he could say anything (he is going to have to have time to receive better on the mic I'm shure) Christian would arrive out and they would brawl. Security would separate them and then Teddy long would arrive out and announce at the next ppv it will be Christian vs. Curt Hawkins with edge for the world title. They would then feud up to summer slam (with Christian winning cleanly) On the next smackdown have him win the ic title and hold it until tlc. At the royal rumble have win the royal rumble and challenge the raw champion and win at wrestlemania. After every of that and having edge as his manager he would be cemented as a top guy and probably to heel. Do you think it could work?

Voting Question: How can I repair my friendship with my bestfriend?

I need advice from the wonderful world out there. My pal and I went to Las Vegas this past weekend everything was fine until his girlfriend starting calling bitching at him for not calling there daughter in time to say goodnight mostly during the first two nights. We left on Thursday and went on tours for Friday and Saturday. Make a long story short on Friday he was Little drunk and we went to a club together and I only stayed for about 20 minutes he however was missing for about 3 hours didn't show up until 5 am or so....... His girlfriend didn't want him to go in the first place because it was Vegas and she wanted me to keep an eye out on him. So anyways we are getting ready on Saturday he had spots of blood in his underwear that he told me and it looks really bad so he asked me should he be scared because he wasn't clip anywhere. He asked me for my opinion and i told him what it looked like that he slept around with someone and he got so pissed to the fact he ignored me mostly during every day on Saturday. I felt that i was in Vegas alone because my buddy didn't respond to me and if he did it was barley anything. So i left him at the restaurant by himself since we were there for 20 minutes and didn't say anything to each other and I told him to pack his stuff and go receive another room since i paid for the whole trip and he only paid me half and the other half was due on today Friday 15th April. however i supported him mostly the whole time there with food, tours, etc........ so i was over his rudeness and i asked him to leave and he unhappy no and i called the security guards to escort him out because i didn't;t want a battle to break out like it almost did on friday when his girlfriend pissed him off and i got the heat from it. So he went home on sunday and paid $323.80 to exchange his ticket. since i took it to the extremes i told him he can keep the money he owe just to be fair but he ended our friendship and he never wants to talk to me again and i don't know how to repair it. So i want to give him a couple of weeks to chilly off ooh and the killer part is that his girlfriend wished my plane accident and i burn in hell too. She didn't even know the whole story just his side of it. i just feel bad because i really didn't believe he would go and receive a new ticket. The last time i saw him was Wednesday when he told me he doesn't know if he will ever talk to me again. He's a very big fan of Disney especially Goofy character so I got something as a peace maker for him. I got him a personalized Goofy Stadium Fanta Sign with his name on it inside the picture . its pretty awesome i just wish that it can mend our friendship i ordered it yesterday and it should arrive to him within two weeks. should i keep away from him until then and hopefully he will contact me?????? please help..... If you want to take a look at it you can go below www.disneystore.com look below Goofy stuff and you will look it. I just want my best pal back. i'/m gay and he's not and he never treated me unfairly in that way but we both have had our ups and downs before. Thanks C.Smith

Resolved Question: is it worth auditioning for a major band even if your not so much into the music?

I have an opportunity to audition for a major death metal act, but now that im older my style has changed and im more into thrash. I would have to try really difficult getting back into the brutal stuff again, sometimes I receive a headache from it.. but this is an opportunity I may never receive again. If I made the clip id be touring every over the world which is what ive always wanted. I still like some death metal but the growling can be a headache, and id probably end up giving myself a headache from playing such extreme music. When I was 17 it was fun, but its not my preference anymore.

Resolved Question: Can I ride a Honda Goldwing?

I am a 23 year old man of ~130lbs. I am somewhat inseam challenged, coming in at about 5'6" tall. I have been riding for about 2 years without any incidents (drops, wrecks, tickets, anything). My first bike [that I rode AND learned on] was/is a Kawasaki ZX11 (1100cc hyperbike). However, I have a need for a bike that seats 2 now. I went down to the local Honda store because I am in the market for a touring bike and I think Goldwing's are the best choice for my needs/wants (seating for 2 with luggage is required, reverse gear is handy, reliability is key). Immediately as I saw the GL1800, I decided that was not the bike for me. I just don't it "fitting" me. I proceeded to look, and found a really nice custom GL1500 SE. Sitting on it, I thought it was iffy. On the GL1500, I was only able to make contact with the ground with the balls of my feet. The seat has probably 2 inches of padding in it (looks like a stock seat?). Versus my ZX11, this is overkill. So I was thinking about removing some of said padding. The weight of the thing isn't too extreme, and with the height and width reduction of the seat - I don't think I would have a problem. I need additional thoughts on the subject. Also, I have never ridden a cycle where the foot position is infront of the knees either (I am used to sportier type bikes like my ZX). Will the transition be difficult? TL;DR = I have taken the MSF beginner and advanced class. I believe my skills are adequate, but I'm concerned about my height affecting stability (especially stopping on hills). Moving my ZX11 around on a grade isn't something that is very easy to me. It always wants to fall over (opposite me), and pushing ~650lbs uphill by 130lbs seems to defy physics. The Goldwing has reverse which will make things easier in this regard [I think]. I'm ready to commit, just need additional input. I don't know about modifications or the like, nor do I really know much about the GL1500 series. I believe the model I was looking at was an early 90's unit? Maybe 1988-1994? I just reread what I typed... I am 5'6" WITHOUT proper footgear (I go barefoot alot). With my riding boots (US Army issue), I arrive in about 5'8". Not a big difference, but every inch helps I guess. I didn't sit on the GL1800, though I noticed it seemed lower. The thing is, I don't want to spend more than about $10k. My ZX was about $4000. I normally acquire machines that need a little TLC and work my magic on them. I really don't want to pay $15k-$18k for a motorcycle, even if there's alot there for the price. I have yet to (and likely won't) find a GL1800 for less than $10k, so a tardy year GL1500 is what I decided on. The one I was looking at is a 1996 GL1500 Aspencade with ~62,000 miles & lots of aftermarket attention. Condition seems to be good (for the year). Asking price: $9,300. Is that a good price for this vehicle? I looked it up on KBB/NADA and their prices don't match up.

Resolved Question: Who else thinks this would be great with Daniel Bryan/William Regal?

Mark Henry holds the World Title until WrestleMania, where Bryan cashes in on him and wins the Championship. I really wish WWE does this because it would result in Bryan becoming an instant main eventer, and finally having a great pure wrestler as World Champion. There hasn't been anyone as WWE Champ or WHC with the technical skill of Bryan since the likes of Benoit. It's such an easy formula to follow, and one with guaranteed success. WWE will likely receive icy feet in January/February and put the title on Orton because they know he draws. They have the chance to tell a great story here. Following Bryan winning the title, Mark Henry should go away for a little while rather than cashing in his rematch. It would truly feel like David slayed Goliath rather than just knocking him down for a few weeks, until he got back up. This would leave Bryan without a challenger. Everyone year a few weeks after WrestleMania, the WWE hosts the WrestleMania Revenge tour which has hosted a UK taping over the last several years. In other words, build up Regal for one last main event run, and at the UK tapings (and possibly even at Extreme Rules), have a 30 + minute World Title match which would be a great final hurrah for Regal and a great notch below Bryan's belt. It would be TV gold in my opinion and is a must! What do you guys think?

Resolved Question: Australian army commando questions?

Okay, I have just finished year 12 VCE and for the past couple of years I have been thinking of joining the army. I know you receive a lot of people saying I want to be in special forces but it is my DREAM job, I have watched countless documentaries on the subject and the recent Australian doco Tour of Duty: Australia's secret war has only increased my desire to become a Commando. I realize the commitment that it would take to achieve such a goal is extreme and I believe that I am motivated enough to do so. This year I have started going to the gym 5 days a week for an hour or so to increase my cardiovascular fitness and also build up muscle to meet and exceed the minimum physical standards. I realize that SF are the best of the best and plan on completing every task asked of me, and everything I do to the highest standard I can achieve if anyone is there to give me recognition or not. I have a few question i would like to ask, please only straight forward answers. 1. The only infantry role available for full time enlistment that sort of interests me is cavalryman, would I be better off waiting until a role I would prefer to do to gain experience, etc. for the commandos? 2. Would the best way to increase my chances of becoming a commando be doing an infantry type role for say 2 years, then attempt the SF entry test? 3. What are any tips or advice you can give me to pass the initial recruitment process's like the interviews? 4. Is it worth going for runs with a backpack with weights in it to gets use to travelling on foot with heavy packs? 5. If I have a behavior bond from a stupid incident with the police when i was 16 cease me from getting into the army? 6. Would it be best to be open and honest about the behavior bond?

Resolved Question: what racket is good for my playing style?

I play right handed and I'm 15 and I stand 5'9" I use a full western forehand and a single handed backhand My main weapon is my forehand and can put topspin and flatten it out easily, my backhand is my weaker shot though i can also put some spin in it I play offensive baseliner but i can also play defensively i can also play at the net but my volleys are not consistent. I have also have some descent flat and topspin-slice serve but it's not very consistent and I use a platform stance AI:I use a Wilson Pro Open BLX and I don't feel on any of my shots one time I used my pal new racket (Head Youtek Speed Pro IG) which was a head light and my shots are quite different than my racket I mean i can put spin easily and i don't have trouble putting it where i want to put it So should I go for a head light racket or should I stick on what i have? If ever i would change I would either pick this racket:(feel free to add some more racket) Babolat Aero Storm GT Babolat Pure steer GT Babolat AeroPro steer GT Dunlop Biomimetic 500 Tour Dunlop Biomimetic 300 Dunlop Biomimetic 400 Head YOUTEK IG Extreme MP Head YOUTEK IG Speed Elite please tell me which racket would be the best Thanks scratch the single-handed backhand I switch to a double-handed backhand now

Resolved Question: Is the left psychotic about Sarah Palin?

Are they insane? She ran for VP in 2008 and hasn't even been governor since 2009. No wonder nobody wants to buy a newspaper anymore. We are at war, have extreme economic issues, many serious problems to keep our journalists busy but what are they wasting their time on? 25,000 3 to 5 year old emails from an ex Governor who isn't even allowed to take her kids on a tour of historic sites without the press telling the world she is putting them in danger because she doesn't release her itinerary. They are NUTS. THE MEDIA SAID SHE WAS PUTTING THE "MEDIA" IN DANGER, NOT HER kids.

Resolved Question: Northern Norway in Scandanavia in February?

My daughter lives in London and I am in Australia. She wants me to arrive over in February and go to Lofoten to look the Northern Lights and then travel around for 3 weeks. I believe the weather will be too extreme for 3 weeks and that some places will be closed and the rail network might not be running. My thoughts are go over to Norway for one week and stay in London for the relax and go back in May to look Norway, Sweden & Finland. We are on a tight budget and don't need flash accomodation. We would prefer to do our possess thing as opposed to doing a tour. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Dianne.

Resolved Question: Edge is coming to Summerslam,LINK INSIDE?

http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/headlines/Edge_To_Appear_At_SummerSlam_Talks_Retirement.php Edge stated in a new interview promoting his four-episode guest-spot on the Syfy series Haven that he would be appearing at SummerSlam. The former World Heavyweight Champion is scheduled to appear at Summerslam Axxess this weekend, but did not specify whether he would be appearing on the pay-per-view broadcast. "I basically started shooting Haven directly from Extreme Rules when Christian won the title. So it basically took up the entire summer. I have an appearance at Summerslam and after that it’s some serious outdoor time. Kayaking, mountain biking, stand up paddle boarding, dog hiking, and whatever else I can find before winter hits," Edge told TVDoneWright.com. When asked if he intends to return to WWE, even in a non-wrestling capacity, he replied, "I'm sure I'll make appearances from time to time like (Shawn Michaels) does. I'm not interested in commentating, but maybe at some point something behind the scenes if it didn't involve the crazy travel. My days of over 200 days a year on the road are over." The Rated-R Superstar also says has some WWE appearances scheduled in Paris, France to promote a movie he shot last year for WWE Films, Bending the Rules (to be released in January 2012). He adds, "Beyond that I think it's time to find out what retirement is really like and catch the Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam on their current tours."

Resolved Question: How many of you out there believe we are living in extreme judgment from God.?

100 year drought in Texas earthquake in DC 9:11 Is directly in line with isaiah chapter 9 Is there a connection between natural disasters and harming Israel? This is not my post. It was sent to me and I am sharing it. It has some interesting correlations between the weather, and forcing Israel to give up land. God’s Final Warning to America Below is a sampling of “record-size” natural events which coincided when the United States pressured Israel to give up its land for peace, as documented in John McTernan’s book, “God’s Final Warning to America“. Nine Major “Acts Of God” That Coincided With The Timing of US Pressure On Israel To Give Up Land October 30, 1991: President George Bush opens the Madrid Conference with an initiative for a Middle East peace plan involving Israel’s land. On the same day, an extremely rare storm forms off the coast of Nova Scotia. (It was eventually tagged “The Perfect Storm,” and a book and movie were made about it.) Record-setting 100-foot waves form at sea and pound the New England Coast, even causing heavy damage to President Bush’s home in Kennebunkport, Maine. August 23, 1992: The Madrid Conference moves to Washington D.C. and the peace talks resume, lasting four days. On that same day, Hurricane Andrew — the worst natural disaster ever to hit America — produces an estimated $30 billion in damage and leaves 180,000 homeless in Florida. January 16, 1994: President Clinton meets with Syria’s President Hafez el-Assad in Geneva. They talk about a peace agreement with Israel that includes giving up the Golan Heights. Less than 24 hours later, a powerful 6.9 earthquake rocks Southern California. This quake, centered in Northridge, is the second most destructive natural disaster to hit the United States, behind Hurricane Andrew. March 1 to April 1997: The combination of PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat touring America, and Clinton rebuking Israel for not giving away her land for peace, coincide with some of the worst tornadoes and flooding in US history. On the very day Arafat lands in America, powerful tornadoes devastate huge sections of the nation, ripping across Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee. Arafat’s American tour also coincides with the storms in the Dakotas, which result in the worst flooding of this century, in addition to weeks of major storms throughout the Midwest. Arafat finishes his tour and leaves the US and the storms cease. January 21, 1998: Netanyahu meets with President Clinton at the White home and is coldly received. Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright refuse to have lunch with him. Shortly afterwards that day, the Monica Lewinsky scandal breaks into the mass media and begins to occupy a major portion of Clinton’s time. September 27-28, 1998: Secretary of State Madeleine Albright works on the final details of an agreement in which Israel will give up 13 percent of Yesha. The same day Hurricane Georges slams into the Gulf Coast with 110 mph winds and gusts up to 175. The hurricane hits the coast and stalls. On September 28, Clinton meets with Arafat and Netanyahu at the White home to finalize the land deal. Later, Arafat addresses the United Nations about declaring an independent Palestinian state by May 1999, while Hurricane Georges pounds the Gulf Coast causing $1 billion in damage. At the exact time Arafat departs the US the storm begins to dissipate. October 15-22, 1998: On October 15, 1998, Yasser Arafat and Benjamin Netanyahu meet at the Wye River Plantation in Maryland, to continue the talks which ended on September 28. The talks are scheduled to last five days with the focus on Israel giving up 13 percent of Yesha. The talks are extended and conclude on October 23. On October 17, awesome rains and tornadoes hit southern Texas. The San Antonio area is deluged with 20 inches of rain in one day. The rains and floods in Texas continue until October 22 and then subside. The floods ravage 25 percent of Texas and leave over one billion dollars in damage. On October 21, Clinton declares this section of Texas a major disaster area. May 3, 1999: This is the same day in Israel that Yasser Arafat is scheduled to declare a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital. The declaration is postponed to December 1999 at the request of President Clinton, whose letter to Arafat encourages him for his “aspirations for his possess land.” He also writes that the Palestinians have a right to “determine their possess future on their possess land,” and that they deserve to “live free, today, tomorrow and forever.” That same day, starting at 4:47 pm CDT, the most powerful tornado storm system ever to hit the United States sweeps across Oklahoma and Kansas. The winds are clocked at 316 mph the fastest wind speed ever recorded.
