I understand that there are 4 major / grand sumo wrestling events in Japan throughout the year, however I will be in Tokyo from Oct 8 - 13th and would love to see an amateur event or a training session.

Help... I have to set up the following and am having a tough getting the surround system to work for all.

I have a Panasonic Plasma, Panasonic Surround Sound system, PVR and PS3. I am trying to set it all up so that I can watch the PVR and PS3 in surround sound without having to change the cables each time... currently I am changing the optical cable....

Is this possible?

I'm coming to Portland next weekend (Feb 23-24) to catch the Trailblazers / Celtics game. Coming down on Saturday and was wondering where a good place to party is that night? Any recommendations?

I am a die-hard Celtics fan from Vancouver. I want to go to Boston for around 4 days early next year to catch a Celtics game, but would also like to see either the Bruins / Patriots / Red Sox....ideally all of them but I realize seasons don't overlap enough..

The problem I am having is finding the 'ideal' weekend to go...I can go from Thursday to Sunday or Friday to Monday...

Any advice would be appreciated...

I am in the process of looking to join a recruitment firm in Vancouver Canada. I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations on the top firms to work for in terms of reputation and environment. I am open to both executive search and recruitment firms. Thanks for your help.

I am in the process of purchasing a new pair of ice hockey skates. I have narrowed it down to 2 and was wondering what others thought...

1> Bauer Vapor 25 - $400

2> Graf 705 - $460

The Graf's feel more comfortable yet the Bauer's are more sturdy. Anyone using either of these skates? What do you think? Any ideas or suggestion appreciated...

Thanks

I have recently moved to Seattle and am looking to buy ice hockey equipment....in particular, skate. Any recommendations as to what stores are the best to find knowledgeable staff and good prices in either Seattle or Bellingham area. I am not looking for a major retailer, but rather a specialist hockey store.

Thanks.

Since the Fed cut rates by half a point in the US, what impact will that have on Canada interest rates?

How was the experience?

What is the record for most saves in a NHL hockey game? I am watching the Canucks / Stars game and wondering if Luongo can set some sort of record....

I am in the process of buying an investment property in Europe and have begun initial discussions with MRI Overseas Property. Has anyone purchased a property through MRI and if so, what are your thoughts?

I feel they have a good array of options however the sales agents are a little too much for me. They never answer the questions I ask which leads me to believe they are hiding something. I also work in Sales however are never as 'full on' as these guys....

Any thoughts?
