Relocating to Texas...Dallas or Houston?
Q. I am planning to relocate within the next two years and Dallas and Houston are on my list of cities for consideration. I am a 35 year old, African-American, professional with a tween daughter (whose father is from Barbados so West Indian culture/community would be great). I am seeking affordable real estate, warmth (the NY winters are driving me insane!), good schools (although private school is an option), great job opportunities and a lot of the amenities that a large metropolitan area has to offer (i.e. I'm a recovering Starbucks addict, a growing Whole Foods shopper, my daughter loves the water although neither of us can swim, I'm learning to ride a sportbike, I love Japanese food and dancing to soca, reggae, R&B/NeoSoul and spoken… [cont.]

A. Houston is definitely your choice! I've lived near Houston all my life and the city is literally a melting pot of culture. And with the way Houston is growing, there are PLENTY of job opportunities here, and more to come!

As far as finding good cuisine, Houston is by far one of the best cities anywhere for good food. If you like sushi, bar-b-que, Italian, Mexican, or just good ole' burgers and fries, it's the place to be.

Some geography questions!?
Q. 1. Name the area (much larger than Mexico) with the most inaccurate name of any territory in the world. (Hint: this is easy. The name was clearly thought up by an overzealous travel agent.) 2. There is a mainland country of 11,000 sq. miles (about the size of Maryland) whose nation's capital is located on an island out in the ocean. What is its name? 3. Find another capital separated from the mainland out in the middle of a sea. This country is about 17,000 square miles and has a population of about 6 million. Although the bulk of the country is located on the mainland, its largest city and capital is out on an island. Hint - this is in a sea. 4. Everyone knows about the problems on the island known as Ireland, but there are several… [cont.]

Kinda blows a hole in that 'Conservatives Don't Care' Thing eh?
Q. Midwest-erners are more likely to volunteer their time than are people elsewhere in the United States, according to a government study released Monday. Of the 50 largest metropolitan areas, Las Vegas had the lowest volunteer rate, 14.4 percent. Nationally, 26.7 percent of adults in 2006 said they had volunteered in the previous year. That compares with 28.8 percent in 2005 and 20.4 percent in 1989. The percentage of people age 16 and older in the 50 largest metropolitan areas who volunteered in 2006: 1. Minneapolis-St. Paul, 40.5 2. Salt Lake City, 38.4 3. Austin, Texas, 38.1 4. Omaha, Neb., 37.8 5. Seattle, 36.3 California doesn't hit the list until San Fransisco at 23rd, with 'enlightened' cities like New York and Miami coming in… [cont.]
