Greetings Armattan Fans.
I've had a chance to burn through a half dozen batteries over the last few days. What I've found as far as batteries goes, is that the Nanotech 2650mah 3s 35-70c doesn't hold up nearly as nicely as the Zippy 2650mah 3s 45C battery. The Zippy handles a full 8-10 minutes of light to casual flying - only triggering the low voltage alarms right near the end of the flight. The Nanotech on the other hand starts triggering the low voltage alarm during strong accelerations after a few minutes. It still holds on for about 6-8 minutes of light flight. So hands down the Zippy battery is a much better choice for the Armattan.
So... I've compiled some video of the Armattan and my F45 into a mini-movie. It's a long one, 28 minutes. There's a guest in some of the scenes flying a small plane and another guess with his 4x4. I put it all together and played around with the camera views. The vibrations on the quad are quite strong at times. I'll have to work a bit harder on reducing the jello effect for future video. Anyway, here it is. I hope you enjoy it.

Could a guy who's only quad experience is banging around an mQX take their time and learn on one of these or is it just too fast and powerful? If doing that wouldn't be crazy, what is the turnaround time right now on a "Armattan M (Black) RXR DIY Kit" with spares if possible? Thanks!
|Dec 28, 2012, 01:23 AM
My only prior quad experience is V929 and V939. I'd take Chris's advice and dial it down real dumb to start with. It's one hell of a terrifying leap from a V929 to an Armattan quad - but let me tell you... it's a thing of beauty.

Things are getting pretty heated up in Hollywood on who Taylor Swift is set to target next. Rumors have flown around about Swift eyeing "Silver Linings Playbook" star, Bradley Cooper. However, Cooper had downright rejected Swift. Swift won't be having any luck either with Michael J. Fox's son, Sam Fox all thanks to Tina Fey's hilariously snide comment at the Golden Globes 2013.
Swift has been building quite a successful career in the music industry thanks to her "serial dating." The country crooner is well-known for writing break-up songs inspired by her rusty relationships. For those who don't know, here are a few songs written by Swift for her ex-boyfriends.
"Should've Said No" = High School Boyfriend
"Forever and Always" = Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers
"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" = Jake Gyllenhaal
"Dear John" = John Mayer
"I Knew You Were Trouble" = Harry Styles
All thanks to that, Swift has quite the reputation. Ironically, some Hollywood stars are still quick to date Swift however not all of them are happy with the idea. One renowned actor of the 90's, Michael J. Fox had made a clear warning aimed at Swift. The country crooner should "back off" Fox's 23-year old son, Sam Fox.
During a book party for "The Good House" at Ann Leary's, Michael opened up about the possibility of Swift dating her son. Given Swift's reputation, Michael had immediately said no.
"No. No ... Just back off," said Michael, adding, "I don't keep up with it all. But Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right? What a way to build a career."
Michael J. Fox might have been a little too harsh with his words but the actor definitely made sense with his statements. Who in their right mind would let their son date Swift then have to suffer the embarrassment of listening to a song dedicated to their son?
Swift clearly has issues with regards to handling relationships. Before Taylor decides to go on another "swift" date, the 23-year old best assess what's wrong with her than always judging her ex-boyfriends and penning a song for them.

I'm Caught in a love storm
Yeah lost in a love storm
i hate to complain about all this rain
falling in my heart
there's so much pain when i hear your name
my teardrops start
a lovestorm
I'm Caught in a love storm
Yeah lost in a love storm
why o why is my sky
always cloudy and gray
when o when will the sun come again
and put to an end
this lovestorm
oh to have you
then to lose you
makes me wish
i'd never been born
cause you see
since you left me
i'm in a lovestorm
oh to have you
then to lose you
makes me wish
i'd never been born
please oh please
come back to me
then i won't be
in this lovestorm

Click to Tweet: Join former #CIA CISO, @FCWnow, & Vormetric Nov. 29 to Debunk Five #CloudSecurity myths http://bit.ly/UvsuLZ #VormetricWebcast
|Robert Bigman, Former CISO, Central Intelligence Agency and president of 2BSecure, a privately held information security consulting firm. During his 30 year tenure with the agency, Mr. Bigman received numerous awards and recognition for innovations in IT security. He architected the model information security program for the U.S. Intelligence Community, influenced Intelligence Community and U.S. Government information security policy, and briefed congressional committees and presidential commissions. He is currently focused on helping organizations exploit developments in information technology, such as cloud computing and big data, while ensuring intellectual assets, data, and systems are protected from cyber threats.
|Derek Tumulak, Vice President, Product Management, Vormetric. Mr. Tumulak has more than 15 years of product management and engineering experience in the information security industry. Previously he served as Vice President of Product Management for SafeNet and Ingrian. He holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo in Canada.
Organizations are looking to tap the on-demand computing power, analytics, applications, and massive storage offered by the cloud. The Office of Management and Budgets (OMB) issued a "cloud-first" policy promoting cloud computing. Yet progress is slow, since many don't fully understand and trust cloud security systems to protect their data or ensure compliance with federal and state regulations. In this Federal Computer Week (FCW) webcast, Robert Bigman will expose the myths and reveal steps enterprises and government agencies can take to secure data in the cloud. Participants will learn:
|-- The impact of virtualization and cloud computing on data security – minus the five myths
|-- Why hackers view cloud hacking as different, not harder
|-- Why regulations including FISMA and FedRAMP make excellent starting points, but don't go far enough
-- The role of encryption in mitigating risk and best practices for preventing data exposure
|FCW webcast delivered to your desktop.
|Thursday, November 29, 2012 from 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EST

Where to buy plants/seeds to plant in July
I am looking forward to keeping my garden going through the fall (and hopefully winter) but this is my first attempt at after summer gardening. I am looking at the Alabama planting calendar (thanks to alabamanicole) and I see several things I can plant in July but I have no idea where to get them. I am in Lee County and as far as I can remember none of the big stores (Lowes/Home Depot/WM/etc.) will carry what I am looking for.
If you know where I can find these locally or online please let me know. If I have to I can get some from Birmingham.
-Irish Potato (Haven't found this anywhere online or otherwise)
Irish potato is what you think of as a "regular" potato -- i.e. not a sweet potato. Certified disease-free stock is best but many people plant what they get from the grocery store and do fine. Sprouting is a little hit or miss with grocery store potatos, though, since they have usually been spray with a sprout-inhibitor chemical. Anyone who has ever had a sack of potatoes grow eyes will vouch that the chemical isn't perfect.
The big box stores tend to throw everything out in the spring regardless of the best time to plant, so any broccoli plants are probably is awful shape by now. But they should all have seed racks with rutabaga, cauliflower and broccoli. Maybe even celery, but celery is tough to grow and so it isn't as popular.
You may also want to visit your local farmer's co-op. They can be a very good resource.
Here is a link that might be useful: Co-op Stores
Thanks for the Irish potato info.
I went to Lowes yesterday and they have already gotten rid of all their seeds and have no racks for them whatsoever (I asked).
There is a coop about 35 minutes from me it seems. I will call them to see what they have available.
Also, I forgot to say, if anyone plants anything other than what I mentioned in July please let me know.
I'll second the notion of looking at online sources (and the recommendation of rareseeds.com) Maybe even look ahead to next spring/summer for your seed needs to get the most mileage from the shipping costs?
It's been my experience that the cauliflower and broccoli germinate/grow/are ready to transplant very quickly so I'd think you'd have time to order them at least.
I recommend Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. They may be able to get an order to you quickly. I bought from many diffrerent sources for our spring garden, and the ones from SASE did the best in my garden conditions - I expect because they are saving seed from not only Southern heirlooms, but plants grown in and adapted to Southern conditions. My California seeds from "organic, heirloom" compainies were a complete waste of money.

The Curse of Email
"The only way we will avoid being crushed by the weight of the hundreds or thousands of emails we receive every day is to free ourselves from the need to treat each one like it matters and like it merits a response. The only way we will avoid being emotionally crushed by having other people not respond to our emails is to stop expecting a response. If we can adapt our expectations to fit the realities of this new paradigm, we will all crawl out from under the weight of the curse of email. Email will prove a blessing."

"The word sugru is the Irish word for play and that's what it's all about—getting people to have a playful attitude toward life and to know that they can do something about their problems without having to wait around on others."

A quote from this interview with Jane Ní Dhulchaointigh, the inventor and CEO of sugru over on The Great Discontent.
The Real Value of Stock Options
"I've generally explained to each of them why stock options are nice, but are worth much less than may think. I don't persuade them against accepting the offer because I think you should be willing to take a pay cut to learn and do more at a startup than you would learn and do at a big company. I just tell my friends that they should never optimize for options, but optimize for an experience. "- Benjy Boxer

"What an industry needs is people who have no idea on how it operates. People that don't know that there are any rules. While it is good to break rules and to push boundaries, it's much better to just never know that any rules exists. So, when an agency boasts that they have years of experience in the field that your company is working in. Run the other way, cause that only means that they know the rules. You need someone who doesn't."
Experience Slows You Down, by Nils Sköld
Moving upstairs
"A few years ago, a friend shared with me his strategy for decluttering his home. He and his wife lived in a duplex and decided to gather every single thing they had and put it in the bottom level of the duplex. They moved upstairs, lived in just the top level, and as they needed something, they would go downstairs, find it, and bring it up. Little by little, they repopulated their life with only what was necessary."

The Death of Upcoming.org
"In hindsight, selling Upcoming to Yahoo was a horrible mistake. Selling your company always means sacrificing control and risking its fate, and as we now know, online communities almost always fail after acquisition. (YouTube is the rare exception, albeit one with billion-dollar momentum.) But Yahoo was a particularly horrible steward for the community."
– Andy Baio

The Art Of The Email Introduction
Chris Fralic wrote a much needed article on the Art Of The Email Introduction. The first rule, The Ask, is the most important in my book:
"Sometimes it makes sense to just make the introduction when asked, but in most cases I think it's a best practice to ask for and receive permission before an introduction is made. This makes it a choice for the recipient and doesn't create an obligation."
Introduction: 10 Rules For Emailing Busy People, by Chris Fralic
An acquisition is always a failure
"An entrepreneur is someone who, almost artistically, designs a living entity which embodies the values, beliefs, and ambitions of the creator. It's impossible for a larger entity to swallow a smaller one without completely reshaping it. When this process begins, a wild visionary – the entrepreneur type – is the most toxic, indigestible actor imaginable. And this is why I roll my eyes when a new acquisition is announced: Because I don't see it as a triumphant graduation but a sacrifice to an industry that is afraid to dream big."

Graceful Exits
"We're not trying to save the world. We're just trying to save some recipes."
The FictiveKin crew just posted this blog post, explaining the frustrating experience of wanting to help forner Punchfork users save their data. In their post they tell the story of Punchfork's less than graceful exit and how it inspired 'Open Recipes'.
What their blog post shows is that there needs to be a web builder ethics manifesto. We need to take content ownership and our users seriously.
Children Should Be Allowed to Get Bored
"When children have nothing to do now, they immediately switch on the TV, the computer, the phone or some kind of screen. The time they spend on these things has increased.
But children need to have stand-and-stare time, time imagining and pursuing their own thinking processes or assimilating their experiences through play or just observing the world around them."
(via Kottke)
Free works
"When a free option is available in a market of paid alternatives, far more people will choose the free product, often by an order of magnitude or more. Asking people to pay unnecessarily is asking them to behave irrationally and against their own immediate best interests, even if it's probably worse long-term."
– Marco Arment

An oversize photo of Warren Buffett's head is now on sale, and the proceeds will go to two Detroit charities.
Credit: Courtesy Fathead
Chris Isidore
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Investors have been known to pay $1 million for the chance to pick Warren Buffett's brain over lunch. Now they can get his entire head for only $29.99.
Fathead, which generally sells pictures of sports and movie stars like LeBron James or the "Hunger Games" cast, is selling an oversized picture of Buffett's face. The proceeds will go to charity.
The pictures were intended as a promotion for the $1 billion perfect NCAA bracket challenge from Quicken Loans and Yahoo Sports.
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway wrote the insurance policy that would have paid big if anyone had correctly picked the outcome of every game of the NCAA tournament. But nobody made it out of the first round with a perfect bracket.
The Buffett Fathead (1 foot, 7 inches across by 2 feet tall) debuted when Buffett went on "Late Night with Seth Myers" to promote the NCAA challenge last week. He appeared with Dan Gilbert, who is founder and chairman of Quicken Loans as well as the owner of Fathead.
Buffett agreed to the sale of the Fatheads as long as the money went to charity. For his part, Gilbert is active in charitable work in Detroit, where his companies are based.
The two charities that will benefit from the sale are About Money Matters for Youth, which promotes financial literacy for Detroit youngsters; and Motor City Blight Busters, which works to demolish blighted houses and other abandoned structures in the city.
"I was flattered, and frankly surprised, that anyone would want to purchase a Big Head with my face on it," said Buffett.
Buffett's charitable efforts include an annual auction to a private lunch with him and a campaign to get other billionaires to pledge with him to donate their wealth.

|2012 Election Results
The following AFS members were elected to office in the balloting that ended December 31:
President-Elect (for a four-year term: President-Elect in 2013, President in 2014-2015, and Past President in 2016)
Michael Ann Williams, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green
Executive Board (for three-year, 2013-2015 terms)
Brent Björkman, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green
Pravina Shukla, Indiana University, Bloomington
Carolyn Ware, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge
Nominating Committee (for a three-year, 2013-2015 term)
Laura Marcus Green, Independent Folklorist, Santa Fe, New Mexico
The number of members casting votes rose from 317 in the last Presidential election in 2010 to 377 this year: a 19% increase. We are grateful for this increased participation and hope that it continues to rise in future years.
All of the 2012 candidates deserve our thanks for their willingness to serve the Society and field, and for their energetic participation in the nomination and election process. The same appreciation is due to the members of the 2012 Nominating Committee (chair Steve Winick, Christina Barr, Leonard Norman Primiano, and Sally Van de Water) for their work to assemble the 2012 slate of candidates.
Finally, the entire Executive Board expresses its deep gratitude to the departing members of the Board--Ray Cashman, Jason Baird Jackson, Riki Saltzman, and Marilyn White, and 2010-2011 President Kurt Dewhurst--for their constant leadership and thoughtful stewardship of our Society.
The 2013 nomination and election process, which will select three Executive Board members and a member of the Nominating Committee, will begin this spring, and will be led by 2013 Nominating Committee chair Christina Barr.

@ThtsaPaddlin @Cochito Commish P much, yeah
@Casey the DeliMan @Cochito Commish @SabrDodgers Yeah, no release date or anything yet. Taking place 21 years after the first one and Kevin Smith said it's the best movie he'll ever make.
@Casey the DeliMan @Cochito Commish @SabrDodgers Hopefully Clerks 3 won't ruin everything.
@Casey the DeliMan @SabrDodgers Probably because the girl didn't suck 37 dicks in a row.
@OSaltyOne I got mine in like 5 days. Probably would have been 4 but one of those was a Sunday.
@Casey the DeliMan I like when there's a ground out instead of saying "he grounded out to second" all the latin announcers will say "he was out via route 43."
@Dodgerfan1145 @Cochito Commish @BehindOrangeLines Alright man, good luck with that nausea.
@Dodgerfan1145 @Cochito Commish @BehindOrangeLines Nice. That's a pretty sweet screen you got there too.
@Dodgerfan1145 @Cochito Commish @BehindOrangeLines I like those fancy ones, they're funny.
@Dodgerfan1145 @Cochito Commish @BehindOrangeLines That's pretty cool. Is your dog tattoo a fancy one like this one? http://imgur.com/mAuB1YI
@Dodgerfan1145 @Cochito Commish @BehindOrangeLines So what tattoos do you have?
@Dodgerfan1145 @Cochito Commish @BehindOrangeLines Yeah, it's definitely not the same. I get it. The last couple of times doctors needed my blood they just pricked my finger and only got like a drop or two. Maybe you can ask for that alternative?
@Dodgerfan1145 @Cochito Commish @BehindOrangeLines Don't let gender roles define you.
@Dodgerfan1145 @Cochito Commish @BehindOrangeLines Maybe you're pregnant.
@Dodgerfan1145 @Cochito Commish @BehindOrangeLines Did you get the Measles or what?
@Dodgerfan1145 @BehindOrangeLines and then?
@Lobo @DroogyDodger Seriously, who wants to be at a Laker game.
@ThtsaPaddlin @Whose on First Whenever he gets clearance. It's been like 2-3 months or something.
@Chigbogu Fan #1 @Lobo @DodgersFan @OSaltyOne I've always been curious about having a macbook but yeah the price just absolutely kills it for me. I can't spend a couple thousand when I can pay 60-70% cheaper for something I'm content with.
@DBrim @ThtsaPaddlin Is it to the bar with a sign saying they'd be open tomorrow?
@Chigbogu Fan #1 Go to the PlayStation Store and find PlayStation Now. It's like $20 a month and you can play all the PS3 games that your heart desires. There's a free 7 day trial right now.
@Chigbogu Fan #1 You can probably stream them now but yeah.
@TheConman If I'm the FO I would bring Puig around to every workout they have with Cubans.
@DBrim @Chigbogu Fan #1 I have Shadow of Mordor and it feels like a copy and paste version of Assassin's Creed.
@Chigbogu Fan #1 I'm just going to keep playing Pokemon
@Disgruntled Goat @Chigbogu Fan #1 I actually really liked it.
@Disgruntled Goat @Cochito Commish @DodgersFan I've replayed them all a few times, they're pretty fun.
@Disgruntled Goat @Cochito Commish @DodgersFan For now, yeah. I'm waiting until Uncharted and Arkham Knight come out to get a PS4.
@Disgruntled Goat @Cochito Commish @DodgersFan Well alright then.
@Disgruntled Goat @DodgersFan Have you played The Last of Us?
@I Am PFP And So Can You @Cochito Commish Yeah, it's pretty funny. It's kinda like Workaholics but with female leads instead.
@I Am PFP And So Can You I have done that.
@KMT59 @Cochito Commish That's a very nice haul. I didn't go last year so I want to go this year for sure.
@KMT59 @Cochito Commish Two years ago was an absolute shit show. I was in like ALL DAY and only got 1 autograph because they "ran out" of wristbands.
@KMT59 @Cochito Commish Yeah I saw that. That's kinda lame. They should have at least a minimum amount to sell at the Stadium
@Lobo @Cochito Commish Agreed.
@KMT59 @Cochito Commish Oh nice. I have a bag with like 12 baseballs, I'll probably just bring that.
@Lobo @Cochito Commish Yeah I was only able to watch like 5 episodes the other day. I got over it after that. The new episodes are pretty whack, it's honestly the same plot as old episodes but obviously with new Pokemon to match the story line. The new theme song is cool though. It's like a hard rock version of the original.
@KMT59 @Cochito Commish That's a lot of baseballs.
@Lobo @Cochito Commish I think there's Yu Gi Oh on Netflix. They added a bunch of Pokemon episodes too.

Tech: Remote-Controlled Conservation
Illinois researchers searching for the best ways to reduce nitrates in drinking water are looking to an unlikely tool: a remote-controlled airplane.
In the Mackinaw River watershed in Central Illinois, The Nature Conservancy and partners are working to reduce high nitrate levels in water by filtering agricultural run-off through wetlands, a tactic that research shows can reduce nitrates by 50%.
These particular types of wetlands are specifically constructed to collect and retain water from tile drainage. Tiling is an underground system of tubing that drains wet fields. These tiles then drain water—and untreated nitrates and phosphates from the field—directly into the river.
The challenge: Tiling is underground. You can't detect it with your eyes. Literally millions of miles of tile run under Illinois farm fields, so locating tile patterns in farm fields is imprecise at best.
Enter the remote-controlled airplane.

How important is price per sq ft?
Hi, I am wondering how important you think Price per sq feet is? I have a ranch home (highly sought after and rare in normal market in my neighborhood) that is in excellent shape. A realtor whom I am working with on the buy side is trying to convince me to lower my price based on comps for 2 story homes in my hood. He is sighting the price per sq ft of mine being much higher than others, which it is. I own a side pet sitting biz and have been in many of the houses in my neigbhorhood and they don't compare in terms of upgrades, maintainence, etc. So that coupled with the ranch thing leads me to believe that the right person will not care about this. IF they are looking for a ranch and like mine, they will buy it.
I have had 7 showings in 4 weeks (more than I expected) and the three realtors that gave me feedback said it shows like a model and is "priced right".
I have it listed flat fee MLS and don't NEED to sell but want to downsize. I can wait the whole summer no problem, but don't necessarily want to be in the house in Nov.
What would you do?
I think price per square foot is important to be somewhere in the neighborhood of other homes in the neighborhood. There of course can be disparity to account for condition of home, desirability of floorplan or lot size. But in general price per square foot should be inline with others. A huge difference would certainly be a turn off to me. I don't know what numbers you're talking about, and I know that to many a ranch is more desirable and would probably have a higher cost per square foot. but it should be a reasonable difference.
I personally do not pay attention to that number. I (hope) I know when a house is in great condition and has upgrades and will know if it is priced right. Who knows if the competion has their squarefootage right anyhow. If your house would interest me I would take a look no matter what and then decide if it is overprized to me or not.
A ranch normally costs more to build than a two-story assuming both have equal overall square footage. The ranch has a larger footprint (more concrete) & larger roof area. There are also other difference such as longer plumbing runs that increase costs for ranch-style homes.
So, it's not unreasonable that your square footage price is higher than your neighbors. That said, your costs should not be considerably out-of-whack to the neighborhood.
Best wishes for a fast sale.
A subject close to my heart. I agree with Tricia on a ranch being more expensive to build so price per sq ft would be higher. Then of course there are things like FP, granite or stone counters, wood cabs, tile, solid wood panel doors, wood floors walk up attic, wood windows, #of baths etc. In my opinion quality counts just as much though I think I am in the minority.
How out of whack? We had a ranch go up in our subdivision a year ago (we were still in a hot seller's market) that attempted $175/sq ft when normal for a two story in the area is $115- $130/sq ft. They sat and lowered the price $100K after four months (unheard of back then) to be slightly more than the $130 sq ft and sold for very close to that within a month.
So, while a single story will sell for slightly more per sq ft in my area, it won't sell for a huge difference even in a hot seller's market. BTW, I do live in an area where there are a lot of folks over 50. A single story is highly sought after, just not when the price is really skewed.
YMMV of course
I'm planning to list next month. I've been looking at houses in my area on-line and find the sq ft measurements of homes crazy. Some houses I know and there is no way they have the sq footage listed. I have been wondering what they count in sq footage... they are either lying or measuring their driveways!
"I've been looking at houses in my area on-line and find the sq. ft measurements of homes crazy."
When I look at a house, I like to bring my own distance measurer with me. This allows me to see how closely the agents measurements compare to mine.
A link that might be useful:
Ultrasonic Distance Measurer to 50 Feet
A little OT--our house actually has more usable space than the square footage would say. That is because the town assessed a low-eave area incorrectly. So, in addition to "losing" half the square footage of that area as done by the blind formula, we lost a little more due to them not counting something they should have. To keep things simple, our listing includes the same square footage as the tax form, but the house "lives" about 180 ft2 bigger than it says. I am hoping people understand that layout and eaves can really change how a house feels and search on both sides of what they think is a good "target" space.
thanks all for your input..I am priced at 155 ppsqft and apparently 130 ppsqft is the going rate in my neighborhood. That said, I am a pet sitter and am in lots of houses in my neighborhood and can tell you mine is newer and in much better shape. Also huge paver patio and professional landscaping. And a big lot. However, a realtor who is trying to help me on the buy side has me sufficiently concerned that even if I found a buyer no appraiser would appraise it higher than the going rate.
So, if that is the case, where does one benefit from having a much nicer house, bigger lot etc than the others in terms up upgrades, etc. You just lose it because the others are selling lower?
Frustrating! Other realtors have told me I am priced right, this guy is saying they don't know what they are talking about. I am confused. I was planning on selling at 142 ppsqft, that would be as low as I could go. Am I totally out of line here?
thanks again
Why not get an independent appraisal done now and make your decision based upon those numbers? I'd probably get more than one independent appraisal. If the house appraises for $145 sq ft, price at that rate. If it appraises at $130 sq ft, you may have to reevaluate.
Myself, I notice the psf. As in "hm, seems high I wonder why - oh description says lots of upgrades, or its a 2 acre lot or....etc." but I don't give it a lot of weight.
I.e. I think your description should solve why the psf is high in most peoples mind.
But if I were looking for something specific and your house seemed to be it, it wouldn't stop me from at least looking.
Sometimes when its really super high I can find a mistake in the numbers. Other times I assume that the seller bought high and over upgraded or is just maybe crazy or greedy:)
One guy at work talked psf all the time when he was looking. BUT he was looking for a real screaming deal. He specifically wanted lots of DIY house for the money. He ended up buying a bank owned.

The Irish Museum of Modern Art has announced a new net art initiative that recognizes the paradox of curating institutional shows of online work. The first IMMA exhibition of net art will be an "uncurated show" (isn't that an oxymoron?) -- or, rather, a show that's self-curated by the net art community itself. The organizers state that any artists who disagree with this concept should e-mail their criticisms to the IMMA; all points of view as expressed in correspondence will be represented in the show as well.

Brent Batten: State seeks piece of red-light camera action
A cynic's view of government holds that, "If it moves, tax it."
And if it moves right on red? Tax it uniformly across the state.
A bill introduced in the state Legislature would bring consistency to the mishmash of local red-light camera programs operating in Florida cities and counties. It would also bring millions of dollars to the state treasury.
Rep. Ron Reagan of Sarasota is the primary sponsor of House Bill 325, the Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act. The bill would take the details of red-light camera use away from local jurisdictions and place them under state regulation. Cities and counties will decide for themselves whether to use the cameras and strike their own deals with vendors who provide them, but the amount of the fines will be set by the state, with the state receiving more than half the money generated.
Reagan says the purpose of the bill is not to raise money. It is named after a Sarasota resident killed by a red-light runner and Reagan said the goal is to enhance highway safety. "I don't ignore the revenue side but I'm in it for safety first and foremost," he said.
Using previous years' volumes of red-light citations and assuming cameras will catch at least twice as many violators, he estimates the bill could mean an additional $80 million to $100 million to the state, adding, "I hope it's zero."
The fine for a red-light violation under the bill, which has a Senate companion version, would be $155. Of that, $75 would go to the local jurisdiction, $55 would go to the state general fund and $25 would go to the Health Administration Trust Fund, with biggest share of that set aside for trauma centers and emergency rooms.
Whatever local jurisdictions pay to private companies to supply, maintain and operate the systems would have to come out of their $75 cut.
The new arrangement would potentially boost Collier County's receipts from its red-light camera program. First time violators here now pay a $62.50 fine, with the vendor, American Traffic Solutions of Arizona, getting $47.50 of that. But second- and third-time offenders pay fines of $75 and $100, with the county keeping a larger share. There's no graduated fine schedule in the state law. Other places, like Orlando where the fine is $125, would stand to lose money.
While the question is not addressed in the bill as written, Reagan said language may be added to take on the most controversial aspect of the cameras -- the preponderance of tickets written to drivers turning right on red. "I'm working on that. I don't have an answer yet," he said.
One approach would be to follow the example set in Orlando, where they don't issue tickets if a driver turns right on red at less than 5 mph and there are no pedestrians at the intersection. Another is to waive fines if drivers hesitate before turning right on red and a third is to ticket all drivers turning right unless they follow the letter of the law. The latter approach sends a signal that the program is about raising revenue, Reagan conceded. On the other hand, "We can't tell people, 'You can break the law.'"
When Reagan first introduced legislation governing red-light cameras in the state five years ago, only one city was using them. Now there are 64 cities and counties using cameras, making the case for uniform standards more compelling. "I have all the confidence in the world we'll get this through," he said.

High Country Gardens is gone.
High Country Gardens is no longer in business.
Here is a link that might be useful: High Country Gardens is closed
Wow nmgirl, that's a shock! Thanks for the heads up... now I'll be sure to make my final visits there soon. I guess I'll have to console myself with deals on plants that I can only imagine they will have to offer.
Here are my thoughts on this nursery (not the mail-order section of it): Glossy, overpriced, but with an extensive offering of ornamentals. Great during a sale!
I can easily imagine why this nursery would fail before others though... loads of employees, expensive buildings and greenhouses, show gardens to maintain, high enough prices to limit the buying to subset of population. I am also quite sure though that the owner has already made his millions and does not need to stay in business to make a living!
I imagine this will be a blow for fans of the mail order side of the business, but for me it's the least useful of Santa Fe area nurseries (Agua Fria, Plants of the Southwest, Newman's, and Payne's all have better prices and either more natives, a better fruiting plant selection, or wider variety of gardening tools, seeds, etc...
Plants of the SW is my personal fave, I've always had good luck there. I haven't tried Aqua Fria although I've heard about it. Newman's and Payne's, never heard of them. Are they in SF?
I've been told that HGC is having an online auction Dec. 7. I haven't verified that but you might find some deals. The ABQ location is empty, don't know what the SF situation is like.
I wonder if HGC tried to fill Rowlands's niche, that's one nursery that I still miss.
Re: Garden decor that HGC carried.
Very $$$, I wonder if the Jackalope up the road was stiff competition.
Well, talk about just closing the doors! I checked the website for Santa Fe Greenhouses, which is the host nursery for HCG here in Santa Fe, which says that the store is already closed.
The online auction is slated for Dec 10-12, and includes 'retail inventory' as one of the items to be auctioned, so I'm guessing that means plants?
Oh yeah, Newman's and Payne's are both local family run nurseries in SF. Good if you live in the area. Incidentally I always make a couple nursery trips to Albuquerque each year, mostly for stuff that is considered borderline hardy here and not available locally. For these, the big box stores have actually been the most useful (and cheapest)!

So I have been a huge fan of Green Arrow for a long time, probably my favorite comic character of all time! But this new series is kinda......well.........crap, sad to admit. And last issue at the end it said "next issue Black Canary!" and I thought to myself "Great, the series will be cool with Black Canary working with Green Arrow and the story can progress and it will be great!" Well I just got done with issue 3 and no Black Canary and probably the worst comic I have read in a looooooong time. But to sum everything up, is anyone else liking this series? And did anyone else catch the whole Black Canary thing as well while they were reading???

I haven't minded it so far. I'm not enamored with it as I am with some other titles, nor is it ranking as high as it used to...
But the good news for those not feeling it is the upcoming creative shift.

I count it as one of the four worst series of the 52 it is in third place
I'm with you man; Green Arrow is my fav character and this new series is intolerable. It sounds like a poorly written screenplay for kids with the characters dialogue merely describing the plot rather than interacting with other characters. The inclusion of QCore (apple) products like qPhones and qPads and villains using the internet (yes they bolded the word in issue 1) feels soooo forced and an obvious ploy to try and appeal to a younger generation of readers. Please don't give us a young hip Ollie that's tech savvy with a Bart Simpson attitude; give us our longbow hunter ollie. He should be worn and weary, has been thru a lot physically and emotionally but still tries to see the best in humanity.
I actually had decent hopes for this series with Krul at the helm as I thought brightest day green arrow was certainly a passable storyline and that the character whose changes I was vary wary of (changing everything from his costume to his bow type to his home city) would still be in the capable hands of an author who at the very least had respect for the character. Instead they're retconning Ollies personality to fit the smallville mold. If this is the kind of green arrow they're going to push to give us a GA tv show or JLA character or whatever the latest hollywood rumor is than I'm not at all interested.
I've never been mad over a comic before; i always knew that in a couple weeks we could return to the character in a new authors hands; however the foundation that has been laid for our beloved Green Arrow is beyond the pale and merely switching the author isn't going to help the core issues that are wrong. DC's description for #4 doesn't seem all that thrilling; I bought the first 2 issues but couldn't even make it thru #2; next week I'll probablly just read #4 in the store. As moviegeek17 said he should've been picked up after the events of Year 1; or even better, had the relaunch be handled by Andy Diggle and Jock!

Yeah, that would've been 10000 times better! That's Green Arrow: Year One that made me a fan of Green Arrow :)
@blur1528: Yep, end of issue #2.

Yeah, just dropped it at issue 8, after this long and with two creative teams, it still sucks.

I did not mind the first few issues compared to the recent few with the new creative team... I'm sad to say its had more then enough chances with me! Until another team starts working on it I won't be reading.
As someone who actually really supports the New 52 and think it has done far more good than it has bad, this is DEFINITELY one of the bad. It is so terrible because Ollie is one of my favorite characters. In fact when I heard about the N52 all I could think is "He's getting ANOTHER reboot?" Granted the others were just renumbering but still. Excessive. For a character that WB seems interested in pushing mainstream with the show and all, it seems odd that DC didn't really do him justice. I think they tried WAY too hard to make him DC's Iron Man.

So at BaltimoreCon Dan Didio slyly asked Jeff Lemire at the DC Panel if he liked Green Arrow as a character. Lemire kind of shrugged it off and didn't answer. THEN last night Lemire was retweeting a bunch of stuff about the show ARROW.
Is there even the smallest chance that Lemire could be taking over writing duties of Green Arrow--or am I just letting myself dream away?

"The very best of Gaskell"
I have listened to "Wives and Daughters" twice and it was even better on second listen. All the characters are well drawn, but Cynthia steals the show; busily breaking hearts while her selfishly obtuse mother works little miseries upon all who are nearest and dearest.
This is one of Mrs. Gaskell's most humorous books with a flavor of Jane Austen.
The reader does full justice to "Wives and Daughters" and brings all the characters to life.
