- 1 medium navel orange, zested
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped
- 1 pint mandarin orange sorbet
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
Using a sharp knife, peel the orange, removing the bitter white pith. Working over the jar of a blender, cut in between the membranes to release the sections. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into the blender. Puree the orange sections and juice with the vanilla seeds, sorbet and yogurt until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour the frappé into glasses, garnish with the zest and serve.

Yeah that is the correct procedure to test the light.
A fuse is always a good idea good job!
The red wire is positive terminal and the black wire is the negative (GND) terminal.
For the LEDs the polarity is important (LED = Light Emitting Diode) so basically an LED is a diode. And just like a diode it will conduct electricity one way and will be very high resistance (we can approximate it as infinite) the other way. There will be no damages to the LEDs if the polarity is reversed so you can test with confidence if one way doesn't work then just swap the wires (change the polarity) and it will lit.

Thought I'd point out that (at least in my opinion) the art for the Slyph (Bestiary 2 pg. 258) actually makes a much better Bralani (Bestiary 1 pg. 24) So when you do a Bralani mini you might keep that in mind. :)

I use both. But all swarms are the same size (Large), yet have two qualities that makes those minis worthless other than when they first appear: they're mutable, in that they can occupy any 4 contiguious spaces, and they have to move into an opponent's space to attack.
Once a swarm is doing anything other than occupying a 10x10 area with no opponents (which makes them kind of pointless), those Large minis are no help at all.
I just use 4 of the smaller ones whenever I want a swarm. Or a lot more of them when it's a ruin swarm.

Thank you for the link, I'll be using many of these for my games! A great way to go for the more common elements, for sure.
And I'd still purchase special/unique pre-painted minis for the AP(s) I would run in the future, so if Paizo's leaning that way... :)

Hetna Dublesse (Ashes at Dawn, pg 44 a more Iconic witch than the Iconic Witch)
Dr. Beurigmand Trice (Ashes at Dawn, pg 63 - good for a variety of serious scholarly types)
Pretty much any common animal and any aberration. There is a decided lack of non-humanoid minis in most pre-painted sets. And of course, more dragons of all types (Chromatic, Metalic, Primal, Imperial, Drakes, Linnorms, Wyverns, anything like that). And some decent dinosaurs (a featherd Velociraptor, a Tyranosaur with arms to scale, that sort of thing)

- Mantis Assassins
- Hell Knights
Kor I'd include :Blackjack
the queen
carrion golems
possibly trina (she shows up at least 3 times)
imp/psudodragon (if they could be in battle combined in one sculpt, that would be awesome)
sable company marine (on hippogriff)
Possibly a shoanti or two
The "We Be Goblins" encounter pack:
- Chief Gutwad
- Reta Bigbad
- Chuffy Licktoad
- Poog
- Mogmurch
- Vorka
- giant spider
- horse
- dogs x 3
Yes! We absolutely need this. I would just add a goblin on fire, like that picture on page 16 of "Classic Monsters Revisited." We should have something to replace a standard goblin mini with when their standard goblin tendencies cause things to go horribly wrong (or horribly right, depending on your point of view).
|Marius Johansen
Here's some of my most wanted miniatures:
Choker (one of my favorite low-CR monsters),
Drider (and a couple of different Drow as well),
Several fey creatures, including (but certainly not limited to) Pixies, Nymphs, Dryads, Quicklings, and Satyrs,
Nightmare (possibly with Anti-Paladin rider?),
Shoggoth (and really, as many Mythos-related creatures as possible :p),
Worg and Winter Wolf,
Many more Devils/Demons (including Pit Fiends and Balors),
Elementals (as many as possible),
The Jabberwock
Oh, yeah, and more goblins, orcs, skeletons/zombies, and so on.
|Kor - Orc Scrollkeeper
I have a little over 6000 minis so could qualify as an addict? Going over the AP's here are some I'd like to see, in order of non existant to already out there:
Skum! There are cetainly NONE of these in prepainted plastic. And since the art is so inspoiring I'd love to see these in plastic
Ettercaps - yeah there are two but there is certainly no...
A Decapus!
The Emkrah
Lovecraftian goodies
From the serpents skull path
Hobgoblins - yeah there are plently but the initial ones were great and the later ones really suffered - especially the only female
A flesh golem
A dark Creeper
There are a ton of vampire out there but given the great artwork would love to see minis of any of these - especially females since there are none of those available in plastic
Gnolls and their beasts of war - yeah there are lots of gnolls but Paizo could given them a unified look and add beasts (and I just like gnolls as basic monsters, much better than orcs after all)
In the land of HUGES - there is still no huge water elemental - a massive whole in the minis market - have all three other types but never this one. And Llinorms, there are a ton of dragons out there, and thankfully one of each size category now, but this is really unique to Pathfinder (well the use is), and a huge or even gargantuan (?) would be great.
Finally, any clerics of evil gods would be good, but the artwork for Urgathoans seems universally creepy and would make great minis.
And finally, finally, mounted monsters. Yep, just basic monsters (orcs, gobbos, gnolls, ettercaps, hobgoblins etc on mounts) A great way to add variety to a group of monsters and some cool minis!
And finally, finally, finally female monsters are really lacking - just female goblins, orcs, giants(!) that kind of thing. This is the one I'd really like to see as a theme in the minis - females AND males of those monster races...
I know I've said it before but Aquatic minis would be great.
Lesser Dragons would be nice and would add some variation on a common theme.
Plant monster are great minis to have as well, plus they can often double as terrain.

One mini that I've wanted for a while now is a soul-bound doll. It seems to crop up in several Pathfinder Society Scenarios, and it would be nice to have a mini that actually looks like a demonic little doll. I've used the brain-in-a-jar in the past, but it's just not the same.

I agree wholeheartedly. The minis have to be functional, as well as being visually appealing. And swarms, well, swarm. And since you need them in multiples of four, maybe they could come in pairs or even quartets in the boosters!
|Berk the Black
I'm really looking forward to hoards of kobolds in all five colors. Also, keep the orcs coming. There was a lot of grief given about the first two in H&M, but once in hand I was quite impressed with them. I'd love to build up an army of green orcs. Also, with all the humanoid races, make some that have been advanced through classes \ prestige classes.. That really helps when incorporating them in higher level campaigns.
Please add some tiny's, to cover the missing familiars. Cats, snakes, ravens and hawks are sorely needing representation. Elevate the birds into flying poses.

An male whip wielder would be nice, the only male whip wielder i know its a metal mini from reaper - and it's indiana jones.
An gypsie like bard - and, speaking of them, bards.
Firearms wielders.
Oriental-like minis. (Not just japan, chinese, indu and philipines-like warrior would be very nice).
Decent crossbow wielders
African-like warriors.
War dogs! For the love of god! They dont's exist in any way in prepainted!

For NPCs/PC-like characters, I would only be interested in them if the PCs are supposed to meet them in more than one AP/module/adventure/scenario otherwise I would much rather have a new monster. I would be much less interested in NPC characters that only appear in chronicles books or player companions, as it is a very slight chance they would ever get used (unless you decide to put them in a published adventure)

Funny. I'm on the opposite end. Most monsters, aside from many of the humanoids, I would only ever use once. PCs/NPCs would see repeated use because they can stand in for much more of the things players interact with. I prefer to run very human-centric games though, so class leveled NPCs are a very common enemy.

Our society lives easily with the large-scale slaughter of animals—after all, it's hard to go far in a typical town without passing a McDonald's. But people become squeamish when the killing is done by people with less mainstream methods and customs.
Some residents of Hialeah, Florida, developed a sudden concern about cruelty to animals when they got wind that a Santeria church planned to open in their town. The Santeria religion, a conflation of Catholicism and African religion, was developed in the 19th century by people from eastern Africa who were taken to Cuba and enslaved. Animal sacrifice is central to the practice of Santeria. Animals, including chickens, pigeons, doves, ducks, guinea pigs, goats, sheep, and turtles, are killed by cutting their carotid arteries. The animals are then cooked and eaten.
The Hialeah city council, at an emergency public session, passed several ordinances aimed at stopping church members' ritual sacrifice of animals. Among other things, the laws defined sacrifice as an "unnecessary killing," which made it fall under the state's anti-cruelty law. The laws exempted slaughtering animals "specifically raised for food purposes." Violators of the ordinances could be fined and put in jail for up to 60 days.Freedom of religion is, of course, guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. But when church members took the city to court, a federal trial court upheld the ordinances, ruling that the city had shown "compelling interests" that justified the restriction on religion. The United States Supreme Court reversed and threw out the ordinances. It was obvious, the court concluded, that suppressing Santeria worship—not promoting health and safety—was the prime object of the ordinances. Further, it ruled, the reasons the city gave to justify the burden on religion were not compelling, and even if they were, the ordinances could be tailored much more narrowly and still address these alleged concerns. (Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. City of Hialeah, 508 U.S. 52 (1993).)
Anti-cruelty laws have also been invoked against immigrants whose customs offend their neighbors. For example, two Cambodian refugees were charged with violating California's anti-cruelty law because they killed a six-month-old puppy for food. A judge dismissed the charges, ruling that to do otherwise "would subject every slaughterhouse employee or farmer to prosecution." Under California law, evidence that the dog was "maimed, wounded, tortured, mutilated or tormented" beyond what was necessary to use it for food was necessary for a conviction. ("Refugees Who Killed, Ate Puppy Not Guilty of Animal Cruelty," San Francisco Recorder, Mar. 16, 1989.) The California legislature responded to this case by passing a law making it a crime to kill an animal "traditionally or commonly kept as a pet" for food. (Cal. Penal Code § 598b.)

TIFF file tags
When I run an identical code to export a tiff file on a windows
platform or linux platform, the value of the PLANARCONFIG tag in the
tiff file is different. On the windows platform it has a value of 1
(as it should have) but on Linux it has a value of 2. My
understanding was that this value could be controlled using the option
"color separation" when exporting tiff files, and by default it is
False. I also tried setting it explicitly to False, but the tiff tag
value remains 2.
Is my understanding of the "color separation" option correct or should
I use another way to forced the value of the PLANARCONFIG tag to 1 ?

Weddings begin as same-sex marriage law takes effect
Bill Slimback and Bob Sullivan waited 17 years. They finally tied the knot in a midnight ceremony at a lodge in Vermont.
Thirty-eight-year old Slimback and 41-year-old Sullivan planned the ceremony for late Monday and were pronounced married just after midnight early this morning, when a new law legalizing same-sex marriage took effect.
Greg Trulson, who's a Justice of the Peace, performed the ceremony at his Moose Meadow Lodge in Duxbury.
Slimback says he and Sullivan - who are from Whitehall, N.Y. - have long wanted to cement their relationship by marriage. Since they can't legally marry in New York they chose to have their wedding in Vermont.

Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is reportedly hunting down a stake in department store chain House of Fraser.
The founder of Sports Direct International has met unnamed shareholders to discuss buying out investors and creating a strategic partnership, The Telegraph said.
It is understood the deal could be announced in the next couple of weeks.
House of Fraser began life in 1941 as the drapery business Fraser, Sons & Co in Glasgow and was bought by a consortium led by the now defunct Icelandic retail investor Baugur in a £351 million deal in November 2006.
Shareholders of the business, which has 62 shops in the UK and Ireland, also include Karen Millen co-founder Kevin Stanford.
But it could be difficult for Mr Ashley to seal the deal as none of the House of Fraser shareholders can sell without the approval of the others.
It is the latest move upmarket by Sports Direct.
It acquired an 80% shareholding in retail chains USC and Cruise for £7 million last year and bought a 51% stake premium clothing brand Flannels in the summer.
House of Fraser was part of an extensive portfolio of British businesses backed by Baugur before it collapsed, with Baugur's 33% stake reverting to fellow Icelandic bank Landsbanki.
House of Fraser declined to comment and Sports Direct were not immediately available.

preparing for subfloor before tiling
We have just removed the laminate and subfloor in a bathroom. There was leakage from the toilet wax ring and the plywood is stained black. It is not soft at this time but I am concerned about mold. What do we do before we put down the underlayment?
bathroom floor.
Cut back and splice in new plywood any where you have any doubts about it. Shoot down a layer of 1/4" Hardie board in a layer of thinset over that, and tile to that. You will be happy. This is not rocket science, but tile won't stick as well to wood as you would like. The Hardie floor is both moisture barrier, and aid to leveling and fairing your floor for the tiles.

Roughing in a new shower
Hey everyone
I am putting in a 42 X 34 Shower in my bathroom. I was wondering if you can tell what is the dimension of the rough in walls do I need?
We give up, is this a fiberglass unit. are you going to tile it?
If it's just a one piece unit all the sizes should be in the install directions with it or on there web site.
Sorry about that. The shower is a Sterling Esemble unit 42 by 34. It is a three wall set with a base not one unit. I will not be tiling it. My real concern is sheet-rocking around the showering stall. On one side near the door from the back corner of the shower to the door trim is about 36 and a half inches.
If the wall panel is 34---the flange is 1"--you now have 35"--yes---you will have a hard time drywalling that little 2 inch space----
If you don't have the option of making that wall wider----add a wood strip along side the flange so the area is flat---then add your 2 inch strip of drywall--use drywall adhesive---and maybe some finishing nails or staples to keep it in place until the adhesive sets up--
For corner bead, if needed, use a paper backed bead that is held by Multi-Purpose drywall mud.
I would avoid nails or screws in the board or corner bead--they will crack the thin strip.

wanting to install a double din
I HAVE A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE " No NAV "
i looking to install my KENWOOD EXCELON DNX9980HD DVD/ GARMIN GPS/IPOD/ NAVI / BLUETOOTH/HD
can i install in using my stock dash?
and if i have to buy a nother dash does the navigation dash mount in the same spot as the stock one that i have? the top on the navigation bezel looks to be more oval looking compaired to mine.
but can i get alway just using my stock bezel? " Mine doesnt have nav opening "
what all will i need to mount thios unit?
any pics would be great?
and how do i know color will match stock i dont know what color to explain mine/lol

Re: wanting to install a double din
ever hear of a search button?
i know I had a d-din in my wk and spent time creating posts that list every part I used......and I know for a fact I am not the only one/
since you seem to know how to read a post count on a thread I BET you know how to use a search too/
Re: wanting to install a double din
I TRYED THE SEARCH BUTTON 1ST but im not really good on figureing out what to write in the search bar to find my answer.
Re: wanting to install a double din
OK Let's all take it back a notch. If you did not find what your looking for then ok, but if you just didnt look and want someone to hand you instructions then that's wrong. In an effort to keep everyone helping each other out I have found a link and that should help you out. Next time if you have searched and cant find try looking in the sub forums or changing around the wording of what it is you looking for. Just trying to give you some insight take it for what it's worth.
See post 5, but also read the entire post.
Good Luck
Re: wanting to install a double din
Next you will need to figure out what size spacer frame to use that will match up the dimensions of the new NAV dash bezel and the outer dimensions of your head unit. Once you find that (I found mine in a catalog at a local installer) you can mount your head unit into that dash and obtain a professional look.

The E.O.W. stands for End of Watch, the day J.D. Tippit's life and career were cut short.
He is a fallen officer but far from a forgotten one.
In November, that message will be carried on the chests of hundreds of Dallas police officers. They will pay tribute to Tippit by wearing a commemorative badge honoring him with this inscription: "Patrolman J.D. Tippit #848, E.O.W. 11-22-63."
Nearly 200 Dallas officers have ordered one of the badges saluting Tippit, who was gunned down by presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
Dallas Police Chief David Brown granted his force permission to wear the badges in November, when the 50th anniversary remembrance of JFK's Nov. 22, 1963, assassination will be in full swing.
"There's going to be a lot of events surrounding the assassination," said Senior Cpl. Roderick "Rick" Janich, curator of the Dallas Police Museum.
"We just want to make sure we remind everybody we had an officer killed by the most likely assassin of the president, too."
Only current and "honorably retired" police personnel can buy the special badges, said Janich. The badges cost $70, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the local Assist the Officer Foundation.
Each badge will sport the name, rank and badge numbers of the individuals who order one. In addition, it will include an honor bar with the tribute to Tippit, who was 39 when he was killed.
"I think they're beautiful, and I'm just pleased they're doing that," said Tippit's 84-year-old widow, Marie Tippit.
Tippit was shot and killed about 45 minutes after Kennedy was assassinated. Tippit had stopped Oswald, who was on foot, near the intersection of Patton Avenue and 10th Street in Oak Cliff.
Oswald walked to the passenger side of Tippit's patrol car and spoke through an open window. Tippit got out and began walking toward the front of his patrol car when Oswald shot him three times with a .38-caliber revolver. After Tippit fell, Oswald fired another shot to his head.
A citizen who witnessed parts of the fatal encounter used Tippit's police radio to alert other officers. Oswald later was found hiding six blocks away in the old Texas Theatre.
Tippit has received posthumous honors and praise for heroism, including the Medal of Valor from the National Police Hall of Fame in 1964. Last fall, a Texas state historical marker was planted near the intersection where Tippit was killed.
"Although the intersection of 10th and Patton Streets has changed," the marker notes, "Officer Tippit's actions and subsequent murder at this site are remembered for setting into motion a series of events that led directly to Oswald's arrest."
Tippit, an Army veteran who earned a Bronze Star during World War II, had three children. Two of them still live in the Dallas area, the third in East Texas.
The Dallas Police Department is also allowing officers to order badges honoring 79 other comrades killed in the line of duty.
Those commemorative badges can only be worn on duty for Police Memorial Day in May, Janich said. Tippit's badge can be worn the entire month of November.
"Anything they can do to honor J.D. and all the other officers makes me happy," said Marie Tippit, who is remarried and still living in Dallas.
SymbolArts, the Utah manufacturer that is producing the badges, is donating $5 from each sale to the Assist the Officer Foundation.
"We got one big order and they've been trickling in," said Rich Fiet, a sales executive. "We've received the badges and we're just waiting to box them and mail them out."

Scored an iPhone this holiday season? Or perhaps just delicious iTunes Store credit? We've assembled this list of the best iPhone games; if you're a gamer, these are the must-have apps for your device. Loosen your thumbs, loosen your wallet, and start playing.
Angry Birds Rio - Angry Birds Rio is a sequel to Rovio's award-winning physics puzzler, Angry Birds. Though it's a tie-in to the animated film Rio, the game is surprisingly compelling in its own right, with dozens of stages to solve and a more polished bird-flinging mechanic. Though the fiendish green pigs are nowhere to be found, merely saving your feathered friends also proves to be a persuasive reason to keep playing.
Dead Space - Malevolent aliens called Necromorphs confront you at every turn in this harrowing action/survival-horror title from Electronic Arts. Adapted from the iconic console series, Dead Space for iOS is a surprisingly intuitive and fun game that proves that your iPhone has a few good scares in it.
Contre Jour - There are few platformers as original and visually distinctive as Contre Jour. Instead of manipulating a character across a variety of obstacles, you're instead tasked with manipulating the ground itself to guide your character to its destination. The app's unique use of contrasting color and lighting also ensures that Contre Jour is one of the more aesthetically pleasing apps out there.
Cut the Rope - The point of this adorable physics-based puzzle game is to help Om Nom the dinosaur eat a piece of candy. Sound simple? It's not. Cut the Rope throws all kinds of tricks and obstacles in your path—including spikes, spiders, and a surprisingly realistic physics engine. While it's easy to "cut the rope" with a quick swipe on your iPhone, timing your actions and planning your moves are the ultimate keys to success.
Infinity Blade - There is no game on the iPhone more "epic" than the fantasy action title Infinity Blade from Epic Games. Empowered by the graphically stunning Unreal Engine, Infinity Blade lets you see every dodge, slash, and block in brutal detail.
Tiny Wings - There are few games on the App Store as elegantly simple as Tiny Wings. Using a one-touch control scheme, the easily-accessible and brightly-colored app is a breeze to learn, but nearly impossible to master: Guiding your little flightless bird through multiple islands before the sun sets will keep players coming back time after time.
Tiny Tower - Tiny Tower is exactly what it sounds like: You play as the landlord of a small skyscraper who seeks to augment his bustling tower with businesses and citizens. With many different "bitizens" to satisfy and tons of shops to unlock, Tiny Tower is the definition of "time sink."
Flight Control - The first game to pioneer the line drawing mechanic on the iPhone platform, Flight Control is a surprisingly clever puzzler with millions of fans (and many, many imitators). You play as an air traffic controller who needs to draw a route for every airplane on the screen to land safely, ensuring that each plane avoids the others in an increasingly-crowded sky.
Real Racing 2 - Despite stiff competition, there's really only one marquee racing franchise on the iPhone platform, and that's the Real Racing series. With its licensed cars, realistic graphics, and multiple controller options, Real Racing is a joy to drive and only gets better when you speed into the game's rigorous multiplayer for a match against your friends.
Plants Versus Zombies - PopCap's Plants Versus Zombies is a tower defense game with a sense of humor. You play as a homeowner with a green thumb and a zombie problem. You must fend off wave after wave of resourceful undead as they try to invade your home and, as zombies are wont to do, eat your brains. Luckily, you have a full arsenal of peapods, fungi, and vegetables at your disposal. The zombies don't stand a chance.

I have a 94 and everyone is constantly telling me do do all kinds of different things to prevent rust. Everyone says it will be rusted in one winter (I just bought it this summer) and I just don't see it possible. It is already undercoated, do I need to do anything else for sure ?
If it doesnt have any rust on it right now, you should be okay. If you live in a state where they salt the roads and it rains or snows constantly...you might have a little bit of rust after winter, but nothing to go nuts about.
I live in Socal and going offroading puts a little surface rust on the under carriage. Even with a 2013..I just bought some POR-15 and will be sanding down/going over a few of the spots this weekend. I would reccomend you do that if you are concerned at all. A clear coat of inhibator after a fresh coat of POR15 should do the trick, and last you a few years. Here are the links
Amazon.com: POR-15 Rust Preventive Paint - Black - Pint: Automotive
Lps Laboratories 00316 LPS 3 Heavy-Duty Rust Inhibitor - Amazon.com
Yea I should've mentioned that the roads are always salted during the winter for I live in northeast ohio
It also rains all the time
It's a jeep. If its solid now it will be solid after the winter. You are reading way more into this than necessary. But if you have problems now salt will definitely pop the rust into high gear.
the fenders usually rust but thats about it
You can prevent rust with proper and preventative maintence. Depending on how much you want to spend you can paint the whole underside with POR-15 as was mentioned earlier. If you are budget consience simply washing your vehicle often during the winter will help prevent rusting. You can try spray painting the underside with primer coating or truck bed liner which is cheaper than the POR-15.
I've heard of using Lin seed oil as undercoating. Because its made from a certain time if seed it's not a danger to the environment. My neighbor swears by it and said its worked for all his vehicles. Just to make sure u complete any painting that needs done first before then. Any one have experience with this???
Was the jeep from your area when you bought it?Always the few out there who will cover up rust with undercoating.

This is the final article in this series about why Ryland (NYSE:RYL) is a great short. The first two articles focused on valuation and ongoing benefits from the downsizing and land impairments taken during the prolonged housing downturn. In the second of the two articles, I noted that Ryland was trading at about $40 per share, and I was looking for a spike higher in the stock and would be entering a OTM Put trade, which I did enter when the stock hit $43 in late January after reporting earnings. Today, the stock went below $37 for an almost 15% correction in less than a month, and I closed the position for about a 150% gain in that time. I continue to advocate Ryland as the best short opportunity of the group because it is the most overvalued on a Price to Book value metric. However, I do think there will be positive headlines from the spring selling season, and I think the stock could go back up in the near term. However, the summer and fall will be where it becomes tougher to show year over year growth in signups, and that should spook the market and send the stock lower, as it is widely believed today that housing is fully recovering and that there is nowhere to go but up and away.
New Communities Sound Good, But Financially Are Going to Hurt
Usually not a day goes buy without a press release from a builder about a grand opening at a new community or the purchase of a new land position. As noted in the previous articles Ryland, like Lennar (NYSE:LEN), Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL), KB Homes (NYSE:KBH) and all the other big builders, are still sitting on land today that they impaired to significantly below their original cost when the bottom fell out of the market. So the strategy today must be to raise prices, because the builders know that they CAN NOT buy land at prices at or below what the land on their balance sheets is valued at today. So they need to maximize every bit of profit they can out of their current communities. They also need to pray that price increases continue to materialize because without them, the land they are buying today and underwriting with assumed price increases is going to lead to lower gross margins in the future, which no analyst or pundit is expecting. So don't buy the hype and get excited to see the builders buying land. Yes, it is a positive that demand exists, but the land sellers are acutely aware of this as well, and they are forcing the builders to pay prices that will be dilutive to future profitability compared to the levels of profit being realized today (without 3-5% annual price increases).
Payback Time For Material And Labor Suppliers
When the housing market went south, all parties (builders, suppliers, and labor trades) went into survival mode. For builders, this meant conserving cash, downsizing their operations, and praying that the government would bail them out (which they did with lower interest rates, numerous programs to help underwater borrowers, and extending tax loss carryback rules, which added billions of dollars of much needed cash to the balance sheets of all homebuilders). For suppliers, this meant closing lumber yards and basically drastically reducing what they could charge for their materials to the point where they were losing money, with many going out of business. For laborers, this meant laying off thousands of workers who were no longer needed to do carpentry work, hand drywall, or paint homes. You have probably read about the first documented net migration of immigrants back to Mexico, which many correctly attribute to the loss of jobs in the construction industry.
Fast forward 4 years, and you have fewer supplies and laborers and increasing demand for new homes. Economics 101 tells you that the supply/demand equation has shifted, and in this case, in a big way to favor the material and labor suppliers. So the builders are now dealing with significant price increases.
As the chairman of the National Homebuilders Association pointed out in the release today of homebuilder sentiment, which fell for the first time in 12 months, there are actually some headwinds facing the industry, although until recently, the stock prices would lead you to believe otherwise. With regards to the fall in the sentiment:
This is partly due to ongoing uncertainties about job growth and consumer access to mortgage credit, but it's also a reflection of the fact that builders are now confronting rising costs for building materials and, in some markets, limited availability of labor and lots as demand for new homes strengthens
What this means is that for profitability to expand, builders will not only have to lap higher land costs, but they will also have to cover significant increases in construction costs, all to generate incremental profitability in years to come.
What Does This Mean For Ryland And The New Home Industry?
For Ryland specifically, this means that you should be valuing the company using today's metrics from a Price to Book and even Price to Earnings standpoint. Do not assume increases in EPS, because they will not materialize. Yes, 2013 will probably be more profitable than 2012, but it is going to take price increases on a magnitude (5% minimum) that no pundits are suggesting for profitability to continue rising in 2014 and beyond.
There is a fundamental reason that builders will not be able to raise prices much more than they already have. That is because there will not be enough qualified buyers and thus, demand. Let's assume that the cost of materials and labor rise 5% annually. Well, wages across the U.S. are rising only 3% annually. So to simply be as profitable from one year to the next, builders have to raise prices by 5% to cover their cost increases. Yet if wages are only rising by 3%, then at a very high level, there is a subset of buyers who will not be able to afford those higher prices from a Debt to Income or a Down Payment standpoint. Add in the double whammy of rising interest rates and all of a sudden, you lose even more potential buyers. So maybe now you have to lower prices to make sure you are at a price point where your buyers can get a mortgage.
Before listening to everyone shouting from the mountain tops that housing has recovered, step back and look at the fundamentals of the industry, and you will see limited potential upside with significant risks to the downside.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Sports of Boston is continuing its week-long preview of the Red Sox outfield with last year's starting center fielder, Mike Cameron.
Brought in last year to take over centerfield and mentor Jacoby Ellsbury, Mike Cameron went down with a bad case of the injury bug in 2010. When all was said and done Cameron played in 48 games and hit .259/.328/.401, down from his career average of .250/.340/.447.
Cameron is 38 and will enjoy another birthday in June, but assuming he has healed, the veteran could be quite useful. As a part-time player filling in for Crawford, Ellsbury and Drew, there should be plenty of at bats available. Cameron also provides a bit of insurance against another slow start by David Ortiz. As we know, Francona believes he is giving his players enough time to get going and two years in a row Big Papi has turned his season around. But that doesn't mean the Boston manage wouldn't institute a platoon during the slow times of the season.
For 2011, Cameron's Bill James projections, courtesy of FanGraphs, show a bit of a recovery with a projected .239/.327/.425 line and 18 home runs. A recovery of Camerons' power would be nice to have on the bench or should an outfielder suffer an injury. The one caveat here: the projections assume 506 plate appearances.
Hopefully the injury bug visits another team in 2011, but should it bite the Red Sox, Boston is fortunate enough to have someone who could be a full-time player, albeit with age and injury risks of his own.

In binge-tolerant Japan, alcoholism not seen as disease
By Yoko Kubota
TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - When Japanese civil servant Yoshiyuki Takeuchi saw himself lagging behind his peers at work, alcohol was the only thing he felt he could turn to, becoming the latest victim of an addiction poorly understood in Japan.
"People who started after me would go further in their careers just because they finished college," said Takeuchi, 50, who had to quit university as his family couldn't afford it.
"I tried to stop that sense of 'why always me?' by drinking."
As liquor consumption grew sixfold over the last 50 years in Japan to match its economic affluence, alcoholism became a growing but poorly grasped problem.
Alcoholic beverages are readily available at convenience stores and vending machines, liquor ads are often on evening television and building work ties by going drinking is common.
Katsuya Maruyama of Kurihama Alcoholism Center, a leading hospital for treating alcohol dependency, said Japan is too tolerant when it comes to drinking too much, which makes it hard for both society and alcoholics to realize they have a problem.
"There is no proper teaching on how alcohol can be dangerous, so no one knows alcoholism as a disease," he said.
That was how Takeuchi felt when he returned to work after six months in the hospital. Demoted and ignored by nearly everyone for a year, he said: "There was no understanding." Continued...

On Tuesday, Cinterion (Munich, Germany), a supplier of wireless modules for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, announced the launch of a high-speed automotive M2M module with a triple-diversity antenna design. According to Cinterion, the AH3 delivers communications across global 2G and 3G cellular networks for applications such as, onboard vehicle computing, internet access, fleet management as well as automatic eCall and emergency roadside assistance and integrated hands free calling.
The module's SIM Access Profile enables integration of additional wireless devices, connection with smartphones and software applications, while analog audio processing and advanced voice support provide hands-free capabilities, says Cinterion. AH3's compact, single-sided design shares a common footprint with forthcoming LTE modules.
The ruggedized AH3 module features a triple-diversity antenna concept that is based on pogo pads enabling mounting at reduced total cost of ownership. According to Cinterion, the three antennas allow always-on communications with simultaneous voice, data and continuous GPS tracking. The module's extended temperature range and power management preserve battery power, says the company.
"There's tremendous opportunity and demand in the automotive sector as a growing number of manufacturers are leveraging the power of broadband cellular M2M communication in cars, trucks and other machines to provide drivers and mobile businesses with greater and richer access to information and remote diagnostics," says Norbert Muhrer, CEO at Cinterion.
The module, which will be available in the beginning of the second quarter of 2012, comes in two versions: AH3-US which supports AWS band in Northern America, and AH3-W which adds 900 MHz to cover all other world regions.

Hepatitis C (HCV)
June 17, 2015
Table of Contents
What Is Hepatitis?
Hepatitis is an inflammation, or swelling, of the liver. Alcohol, drugs (including street drugs, over-the-counter medications, and prescription medications), poisons, and several viruses can all cause hepatitis. Viral hepatitis is the term used for any inflammation of the liver caused by a virus.
Signs of hepatitis include:
What Is Hepatitis C?
Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are over three million Americans living with chronic (long-lasting) HCV. The World Health Organization estimates that 150 million people are chronically infected with HCV worldwide, and that three to four million more are infected each year. HCV is particularly common in North Africa, Central Asia, and East Asia.
Approximately half of HIV-negative people clear HCV from their bodies without medical treatment within the first six months of becoming infected. For those living with HIV (HIV+), about one in five people will get rid of the virus without treatment. The majority of people do not clear HCV and go on to develop chronic infection.
Chronic HCV may not cause any symptoms for ten years or more. However, even without symptoms, it can cause serious liver damage leading to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver failure, and death. In fact, HCV is one of the most common causes of liver disease and viral hepatitis is the number one reason for liver transplants in America.
How Is HCV Spread?
HCV is spread in the following ways:
It is important to note that you can not get hepatitis C from casual contact with someone (e.g., hugging, kissing, sharing food and drink). HCV is also not spread through breast milk.
Prevention of HCV
Unfortunately there is still no vaccine to prevent you from being infected with HCV. However, there are vaccines for two other types of hepatitis: A and B. It is strongly recommended that people with HCV get hepatitis A and B vaccinations as early as possible. See The Well Project's articles on hepatitis A and hepatitis B for more information.
HCV is not commonly passed from a pregnant woman to her baby. Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) occurs in about five out of every hundred cases. Studies have found that the risk for MTCT of HCV is three to four times higher in women living with HIV. There is currently no known treatment that will prevent the transmission of HCV from mother to child.
The best way to prevent HCV infection is to avoid being exposed to blood that is infected with HCV. Do not share equipment to use drugs and make sure tattoo artists use sterile needles and inkwells. Practicing safer sex is also a good idea; you can find tips to protect yourself in The Well Project's Safer Sex article.

Pope Francis says he won't judge gay priests
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Pope Francis, in an outreach to gays, says he won't judge priests for their sexual orientation.
He told reporters aboard his plane flying back from Brazil that "we shouldn't marginalize people for this." He said, "They must be integrated into society."
His predecessor, Pope Benedict, signed a document in 2005 that said men who had deep-rooted homosexual tendencies should not be priests. Francis, though, says gay clergymen should be forgiven and their sins forgotten.
He said, "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?"
Bishop of Colorado Springs, Rev. Michael Sheridan, says the comment from Pope Francis isn't a surprise. Bishop Sheridan says it is consistent with what the church teaches.
"Many people who think of a homosexual person automatically connect them to homosexual activity. So it may appear that the Pope is someway blessing or condoning homosexual activity, but he's not. He is just talking about inclinations that have no particular moral value," said Bishop Sheridan.

For the first time in more than a century, weather has stopped U.S. equity trading for two straight days as Hurricane Sandy swept across New York City.
Stock trading was canceled for a second day, joining bond markets, as 90-mile-per-hour winds and surging seas paralyzed American capital markets. The shutdown, the first for consecutive days due to weather since 1888, was announced by NYSE Euronext after consultations with other exchanges. The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association earlier recommended a full market close Tuesday in dollar-denominated fixed-income securities after they shut at noon New York time yesterday.
"It's an unprecedented event coordinated with an unprecedented storm," Ryan Larson, the Chicago-based head of U.S. equity trading at RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc., said in a telephone interview. His firm oversees $250 billion in assets. "The response from the exchanges and regulators in terms of the closing of the market was certainly appropriate and remains appropriate for the exchanges to be closed tomorrow as well."
Exchanges are planning to reopen Oct. 31, weather permitting, according to statements from NYSE Euronext and Nasdaq OMX Group Inc.
The last comparable closure of the New York Stock Exchange was on March 12 and 13, 1888, when a blizzard dumped 21 inches of snow on New York, according to the company's website.
Stock markets haven't closed for four days in a row since the start of 2007 when, following a weekend and the New Year's Day holiday on a Monday, they shut on Jan. 2 to observe a day of mourning for President Gerald Ford's death the previous week.

Tender slices of this fruit-glazed ham are on our family's Christmas menu every year. Topping the meat with pineapple slices, cherries and cloves makes it look festive--and adds to the flavor of this easy holiday entree. -Christine Eilerts Tulsa, Oklahoma
Recommended: 37 Marvelous Meatball Recipes
- 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (5 to 7 pounds)
- Whole cloves
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) sliced pineapple, drained
- Maraschino cherries with stems
- 1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup peach or apricot nectar
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep; insert a clove in each diamond. Secure pineapple slices and cherries on ham with toothpicks.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, peach nectar, vinegar and ground cloves. Spoon half of glaze over ham.
- Cover and bake at 350° for 2 hours. Uncover; bake 20-30 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 140°, basting twice with remaining glaze. Yield: 8-10 servings.
