in MB Market Update for 5/15/09, Sales and Inventory on Manhattan Beach Confidential
Seems to me that the developer at 3404 Pine probably bought the lot at the peak if he hung around a year trying to make the sale. What was the purchase price? How does it pencil out in the 1.9 range?

in Can't Wipe Away the Loss on Manhattan Beach Confidential
MB is lagging, not flattening. From the "Local Luxury Markets" thread: "Most assume that because the low end is stabilizing after a 50%+ price drop that the mid-to-upper is also stabilizing. The fact is they are not connected and will bottom independently." Don't tell the bulls but MB has only begun to decline.

I can't read the whole thing but this line rang true: "Most assume that because the low end is stabilizing after a 50%+ price drop that the mid-to-upper is also stabilizing. The fact is they are not connected and will bottom independently."

in Cablevision pulls plug on Kung Fu HD on Kung Fu Cinema
I want to add one more thing...VOOM is way ahead of the curve when they kept their integrity and honesty when they broadcasted programs in TRUE HD or old films remastered in HD format. NOT up-converted!

in Cablevision pulls plug on Kung Fu HD on Kung Fu Cinema
This completely sucks. I turned the channel today that in the high hopes that CABLEVISION would have some sense to leave the channel alone. Alas...I was wrong and so was CABLEVISION for making the dumbest move in the world.

in Cyclist Seriously Injured! on SaltCycle
Update from a friend of mine: First, the bicyclist in question is female. As of last night (well, night for me, afternoon for you all in the 801), the cyclist was in the ICU with a broken pelvis. I will update if I hear anything else.

in Tomorrow! Cranksgiving! on SaltCycle
My experience with the homeless and FNB in Connecticut was overall positive, they were happy to get our food, and even if they were initially "vegetarian food!!!" after they tasted it the changed their mind. On the subject of vegan thanksgiving stuff, just buy cranberry sauce or corn, there are plenty of options of vegan food for thanksgiving--not that you would know if from thanksgiving at my parents'..."we have potatoes for you."

in Women Should Never Lift More Than Three Pounds!? on Healthy Simple Living
Hmm, 3 lbs of weights and 2 hrs of cardio may be good to keep a very thin profile like Gwyneth, but a little more meat on the bones would be much nicer!

Before, I also ignored most salespeople in a health food store as they tended to push products at you. But sometimes, I do talk with them and discover new things like you did.

If you want to add to the pain, you can take the crew up to the hospital. I recommend taking Virginia to Federal Heights, brings you out near Primary Childrens. You can also go straight from 11th ave up popperton park way to the shoreline trail, brings you out near Huntsman Cancer Institute. First option will separate the men from the boys, second the chaff from the wheat.

in McCain’s Million Dollar Parking Lot on The REAL McCain
Do not miss the point . McCain is too old to remember what he owns. How can he run a country. Remamber Regan, (sleep) at the meeting, Bush tricked the most voting population in the US (female)to get the Contracts in Iraq after blowing it up. They only want more money in their (Republican) pockets. At any cost.

in This Friday, a Duct Tape-Garbage Bag-Swiming Trunk Midnight Mass! on SaltCycle
Sorry, my bad, forgot who we were talking about there and figured there may be some method to the madness (however, I do suspect some madness to the method). At least with my madness I know there is some connection with reality, even if the connection is tenuous and often makes sense only to me.
There was a pretty cool mid-bike (a not-so-tall bike) owned by a performer at the Ferrara Busker's Festival. It was like two bikes put on top of one another the long way and had a mount to carry a unicycle on the back. Wish I got a picture. Maybe next year.

in This Friday, a Duct Tape-Garbage Bag-Swiming Trunk Midnight Mass! on SaltCycle
I think the garbage bags (plus duct tape) and recommended swim trunks are references to one of the early midnight masses getting rained on (and having a low turn-out because of said rain). Correct me if I am wrong on this guys. I did not make it to that one on account of drinking at Junior's I think (or that I am getting old[er] and often refuse to leave my place past a certain time).

for the tools that support mccain; i pity you.
it's horrible that you're unable to assuage your own close minded outlook, but beyond acknowledgment that you choose to remain stubborn.
please find a nice little hole to crawl into somewhere. save the next person you meet the atrocity of conversing with someone as dull witted as yourself.
obama is and -will- be the future; you're either a racist little fuck or a repetitive dimwitted redneck.
well, either way you're dimwitted. i take back the
'pity you' statement.

in Road 1 is Up and Running! on SaltCycle
Wow, all this encouragement to drink more. My colleague here thinks I produce more results after a night of drinking and has recommended "make sure you get drunk tonight, we have data to produce tomorrow" or something to that effect. I wonder if I can count beer as research supplies (or here in italia, vino would be better). Yeah, I code wonderfully under the effects of alcohol: "why the hell did I name the variables 'peroni' and 'secco'." But seriously, I was mainly thinking of the quick turn. I cannot image that would be successful on a tall bike (that is really where the center of gravity will do you in, I think). Actually, now that i think about it, and speaking recently of experiments (that nobody in their right mind would fund me for or participate in), this is a hypothesis that needs to be tested. Chetti, you are my guinea pig here (we all know Chetti is not in his right mind). I actually did my Road I on a no brake fixie (the same no brake fixie that Krisha is in possession of). And I think Michael Wise may be the first LCI certified on a fixed gear. Oh yeah, the quick stop was hard, but Ashley let me skid it through.

in the Smith’s bike experiment III on SaltCycle
You are correct ebot, I did not know the whole story. I was not aware that you had rode around the store on a number of occasions without incident. I foolishly assumed that since you were documenting this (and the other "experiments") that there was some purpose. Perhaps, as I indicated, getting bikes to be allowed officially in the store since there seemed to be mixed experiences. I still say it was dickish because there was more here than just riding around the store whilst doing your shopping. As well, the intent here seemed to be pure hooliganism. Sad, because it is possible that someone may have been able to accomplish getting bikes allowed to be brought in the store.
I looked through my post again, still not sure where you see any anger. You actually seem to be set off a little there. Maybe you could just accept what I have to say as constructive criticism. That is, if your pride lets you.
And even a loose definition of experiment implies that there is some idea to be test. For example, I have this hypothesis that there are three types of hangovers: nausea, raging headache, and, most rare, the feeling of death. I have discovered this through rigorous testing in an experiment that I call "PBR friday." That is an experiment.

I don't have it in for your actions. Just that one. As I said, walking your bike through the store is one thing, but riding your bike though the store is just being childish. Maybe you were not asked to leave, but now bikes are banned from the store. It is counter-productive. It may have been possible to get a statement from the head office that bikes were allowed in the store, if someone were to go that route, but not anymore. It also paints a bad view of cyclists to the people shopping.
My second comment on the experiment is basically to say "what did you expect?"
What anger? I am not being angry, I am just calling you on these counter-productive activities. Not angry at all. And why would you think there is some other issue? There is nothing personal here, I just think that it was a dumb thing to do and someone needed to say it. I really would like to know where you see anger, cause I was quite calm when I wrote it.
