If you are young and w/ out a family I'd suggest going to sea on a merchant vessel. MSC is a great place to start, 1st yr w/ no experience 50K, 2 nd yr and on 100K (with Able Seaman endorsement). Its not bad work, you get to go all over the world, the ships have gyms as good as any Gold's...

If you want to stay under the American flag, I'd suggest SAIPAN. Very equitable climate, fabulous diving, and surf (though its 2 miles off island past outer reef). Saipan is 30 minutes from Guam, 4 hrs to Osaka, 4 hrs to Manila, 7-8 hrs to Bangkok. Pohnpei is 4 hrs away which has surf that...

At the peak of the bubble (1990), prime real estate in the business district of Tokyo was valued at $100,000 per 8 1/2" by 11". That's 8.5 inches by 11 inches for $100,000. Aloha.

Elohio A great way to earn cash is to work on ships. While going to college I worked as a bartender on cruise ships in Hawaii. I made over $1000 per week in tips. Wages were only about $250 per week(and that was very HIGH as these cruise ships were the only 2 "American Flagged" large cruise...

Romik... a most thoughtful thread. Such graciousness will come back to you tenfold! Merry X-mas and Happy Holidays to all! Aloha for now!

The group of guys I trade with in a Hotcomm room, include a number of ancient mofo's (myself included...49+). The sharpest guy in there is 73, just an amazing guy! He doesn't need the money, yet he treats trading as any other business he has been envolved in ...he makes sure he is a winner...

Their website states only the first 15 trades per day are free...the 16 th trade and on there is a 1 pip spread charge (on all the majors)... the minors and crosses have spread charges from 5-10 pips... Aloha.

Heard great things about CR. Does CR follow daylight savings? And if you know, how is the internet service along the coast? I'm from Hawaii and somehow the wifey has gotten us living in Seattle area....threatening I must spend the winters back home or somewhere such as CR! What's...

Talked to my acct rep @ FXSol and he said they widened the spread on the GBP to reflect the lowered liquidity of the GBP among their customers. I asked him how could the GBP have less liquidity than the AUS(which has tightened to 4 pips from 5) and he repeated that among "their" customers the...

I remember going on a run around Diamond Head in the mid 70's with Arnold the "Governator". He came over to the islands once a year to guest pose at our state championships. He wanted some running buddies so I volunteered. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to grill him about...

Riskarb: No T-3, just alot of insane dieting! Not fun at all, the guys these days are much more sensible. Aloha.

Eqttrdr: Hawaii state comp's... and one low level Int'l competition. No other "drugs", sup's,vits...nada. 12-16 wks of nothing ,andI mean NOTHING but steamed boneless chicken and ahi/ mahi-mahi...and every 2-3 days 1 piece of dry wheat toast. No vegies. no fruit... very unhealthy...

Riskarb: I can only speak for myself but 200 mg of Test cypionate/wk for 8 wks , 3 cycles per year for for 2 yrs took me from 146 lbs to 217 lbs @ 3.2% bodyfat (tested @ U of Hawaii Med school- hydrostatic weighing). Massive strength increases (ex: squat 315lbs clean to 650 lbs juiced)...

I'll throw in my 2 cents, based on actual use. Played pro football(in CFL...not good enough for NFL)..and later competed as a power lifter and bodybuilder. Testosterone makes you bigger stronger and faster. Keep in mind that when I used test it was not a scheduled drug and a "sports MD"...

God bless LR, RIP. And thank you.
