Will housing in strong metroplotan areas continue to trend downward?

DC Nothern VA house prices have dropped approximately 30%, A 500K house sold in 2006 is now on the market again for 350K. Can prices go substantially lower or should I buy now? The rates are starting to climb, however, the house price slide counters. 30Yr $1900/mo @ 5% for a 355K house vs another 10% drop, 300K house @ 6% is $1800/mo. It seems raising rates will only drive house prices down further and with alt-a and option loans maturing ar peak in 2011, it wopuld seem the housing prices stabilize after the forclosures dry up at that point. It seems housing value is due for another 20% decrease for a few years before recovering, making a house in even a strong metropolitan area possibly valued at 50% of it's 2006 peak. I would like some input on where the market is going. thanks in advance.

What do you think about British Royal navy and RAF, French forces and US Navy and airforce in Libya?

I think it is a shame that the boy President didn't do something weeks ago when he called for Qaddafi to step down! Now he has gotten us into an illegal war and his impeachment proceeding should start immediately! Maybe when he gets back from his vacation he will let Congress know what he did and he can explain our exit strategy!

Winner(s) of Spooky Cake and Candy cake off...?

I'm watching the show (on the Food Network), but it really kills me not to know who is the winner. Does anyone know who wins? Or at least know what the cake of the winner looks like? Just in case there is more than one of these episodes, its the one where Duff Goldman from Ace of Cakes comes out.

I have a 1998 Chevy Malibu, V6, engine won't turn over.?

Ok, here's the scoop, I own a 98 Chevy Malibu, V6, 3100 engine. The other day I was on my way to work when my car died on my suddenly. I had enough momentum to pull into a parkinglot. I got the car started, it would run, really rough, and then kill after about 10 seconds. We had it towed home, replaced the fuel filter and starter, still no luck. The engine cranks over VERY slow. Did a little reading in our Haynes book, and found the section on the Crankshaft Sensor. While reading it, it described A LOT of what's going on with our car. The check engine light came on a while back, took it in, ran a diagnostic check, came up misfire on cyl #5, even after replacing all plugs & wires. Had it towed to the shop, mechanic REFUSES to look @ the sensor and says the engine is seasing up. Is this and or can this indeed be the case? My gut tells me otherwise... can someone help? Thanks!!

Will Allen Iverson be back and starting for Memphis?

No, they don't want him to start. They want to develop their younger guards like Conley and Mayo. They would like for Iverson to come of the bench and be a mentor to them.
