This Common Household Item Could Cause Instant Death, but First a Few Links
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Pajiba Love | January 16, 2013 | Comments ()
When I direct my interweb browserator at this website each day, I start to type the name in and then the autofill takes over and I hit enter. Lately I've been hitting enter a half second before the autofill kicks in and so now at least once each day I google search for "paji" and so I've been added to a CIA watch list of militant racists. I'm just warning you in advance that it's possible that just by clicking a bunch of links I've assembled, you are probably a terrorist, and I know that you've already won.
First up, here are some excerpts from letters Alec Guinness wrote about Star Wars: he is a fantastic hybrid of grumpy old man and classy British dude.
Unreality has a round-up of the best female video game characters, which is sadly short. Hannah from "Girls" doesn't make the list because the video game adaptation of Entitled Shits in NYC doesn't come out until next summer. (Judging from yesterday, that oughta be good for at least a few dozen angry comments).
If you've been under a rock, you may not have noticed that everything Benedict Cumberbatch does is awesome. Here he is thanking the Internet for liking him, and then abandoning an interview on the red carpet because he sees Adele and gets excited.
Apparently Anna Kendrick liked Gangster Squad more than most critics did, and in doing so won Twitter forever:
Kathryn Bigelow penned an article for the LA Times about torture and Zero Dark Thirty. Because apparently making a movie gives you some sort of qualifications to talk about it. This is the Internet, we don't need qualifications.
And here is a gorgeous set of real photos of real places that look like they are screenshots of science fiction films.
Did you know that there is a group of Ukrainian protestors who specialize so much in nude protesting that they've formed a school for teaching the tactics in Paris? That's the world's most creative way to explain to your parents how those pictures ended up on the Internet after your semester in France, and it's also the world's most confusing protest strategy. "I don't like your evil policies, look at my breasts." Is this supposed to deter dictators?
In other surreality, Val Kilmer has ambitions of making a second career for himself as a one man Mark Twain show. Watch it Iceman, Hal Holbrook is going to cut you.
Have you cried yet today? Well, here is Neil Gaiman eulogizing his recently deceased dog.
This has been floating around a while, but if you haven't seen it, it's new to you. It's the Lord of the Rings retold (via movie screenshots and speech bubbles) as if it was a game of Dungeons and Dragons.
And speaking of Dungeons and Dragons, here is Ta-Nehisi Coates in an excerpt from an upcoming documentary on the seminal RPG talking about how it influenced him growing up:
Pajiba Love Express
Here's some Daveed Diggs for you. On Daveed Diggs' digs, actually. That man does things with clothes that should not make sense, but are absolutely perfect. (Go Fug Yourself)
Woody Allen has "so moved on" from his daughter's accusations and says he never even thinks about it. He equates her words about him to a bad review he won't read and comments on how wacky it is that Mia Farrow is his mother-in-law. He is the worst. (Celebitchy)
Not The Worst but still very gross: Leonardo DiCaprio and his
Here are 5 under-the-radar shows. I had never even heard of the first two. (Uproxx)

Comments about Beau-coup Personalized Birthday Paper Cups:
I ordered these cups in 2 different sizes for a weeklong celebration at the beach for my Mother's 70th birthday. There were 19 of us, ranging in ages from 2 to 72. The cups were used for everything from morning coffee and tea to sodas, juice for kids, etc... I chose a birthday design in aqua lettering which stood out well on the white cups. Overall a hit!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The following is a list of the Week 2 leaders in looks and touches. It defines those running backs and receivers who received the most attention this past weekend.
Touches is defined as the number of times a running back carried or caught the football.
Looks is defined as the number of times a player was the intended target of a pass.
• The Vikings fell to 0-2 on the season, but you can't put much of the blame on Adrian Peterson. He turned a career-high 33 touches (29 carries, 4 catches) into 180 yards of offense (160 rushing, 20 receiving), although he didn't find the end zone. Peterson topped 20 carries or 25 touches just twice during the 2007 season.
• Julius Jones responded very well to his first game as sole feature back since early in 2006, compiling 141 yards (127 rushing, 14 receiving) on 29 touches (26 carries, 3 catches), including a 27-yard TD run. Maurice Morris is expected to miss Week 3, as well, and a strong performance against the Rams could push Jones clearly to the forefront of the expected platoon.
• A tough early schedule has the Bengals' offense looking like a mess. Chris Perry did manage a 13-yard TD run against the Titans, but he totaled 51 yards on his other 20 carries (2.6-yard average) and his first two receptions of the season resulted in a net loss of eight yards.
• We're seeing a pattern in the Titans' running game – an even split of the work and subsequent fantasy impact between the dynamic Chris Johnson and the stout LenDale White. Week 2 stats: Johnson had 121 yards (109 rushing, 12 receiving) on 21 touches; White had 59 yards on 18 carries (no catches), including a one-yard TD plunge.
• What you need to know about the Panthers' running game in Week 2: DeAngelo Williams managed just 28 yards on 10 carries before halftime, so he got just one carry in the second half; Jonathan Stewart was given just one carry in the first half, but rallied his team with 76 yards on 13 carries in the second half, including two short scoring runs (4, 1) in the 20-17 win.
• The platoon watch notes when a team's RB2 is given at least half as many touches as the RB1, regardless of the reason. Platoon watch for Week 2 included: Arizona (Edgerrin James 19, Tim Hightower 11), Buffalo (Marshawn Lynch 20, Fred Jackson 13), Carolina (Jonathan Stewart 14, DeAngelo Williams 12), Denver (Selvin Young 9, Andre Hall 7, Michael Pittman 7), Green Bay (Ryan Grant 15, Brandon Jackson 8), Jacksonville (Fred Taylor 15, Maurice Jones-Drew 10), Miami (Ronnie Brown 13, Ricky Williams 12), New England (LaMont Jordan 11, Sammy Morris 10, Laurence Maroney 8, Kevin Faulk 7), NY Giants (Brandon Jacobs 16, Derrick Ward 9), Oakland (Darren McFadden 22, Michael Bush 16), San Diego (LaDainian Tomlinson 12, Darren Sproles 9), Tampa Bay (Earnest Graham 16, Warrick Dunn 15), and Tennessee (Chris Johnson 21, LenDale White 18).
• Earnest Graham made the most of another somewhat truncated workload, turning 16 touches (15 carries, 1 catch) into 128 yards (116 rushing, 12 receiving) – his 8.0 yards per touch were best among RB with at least 10 touches. Honorable mention has to go to Darren Sproles, who turned nine touches (7 carries, 2 catches) into 125 yards (53 rushing, 72 receiving), a 13.9-yard average. Sammy Morris totaled more touches (10 – 8 carries, 2 catches) than he did net yards of offense (7 – 0 rushing, 7 receiving), part of the reason for the four-way dispersal of touches for the Pats in Week 2 – his 0.7 yards per touch were easily worst among players with at least 10 touches.
• Wow. Brandon Marshall made up for lost time in pretty short order, totaling an astronomical 20 looks, 18 catches, and 166 receiving yards in Week 2, including a six-yard score. Marshall's one-week totals are good enough to place him tops in the league in receptions, sixth in looks, and 15th in receiving yards.
• Tony Gonzalez got the quantity, but not the quality, treatment thanks to shoddy QB play in Week 2. His 13 looks only resulted in five catches and 39 yards, albeit including a two-yard TD.
• With Dallas Clark inactive and Marvin Harrison struggling to separate himself from defenders, Anthony Gonzalez garnered a career-high 12 looks, which resulted in nine catches for 137 yards. Clark may be active in Week 3, but this won't be the only time this season that Harrison fails to make an impact – Gonzalez remains WR3 on the depth chart as long as everyone is healthy, however.
• Here's how the looks worked out for the notable players among the Colston-less Saints in Week 2: David Patten (10), Reggie Bush (9), Jeremy Shockey (3), Devery Henderson (3), Pierre Thomas (2), and Robert Meachem (1). It was clearly a struggle, as Drew Brees managed just 22 completions and 216 passing yards.
• John Carlson should be on your radar if he already isn't, particularly if you are in a PPR league. The rookie TE garnered eight looks in Week 2, compiling six catches for 78 yards, and has team highs of 10 catches and 130 yards after two weeks. He should continue to be heavily utilized for at least as long as the Seahawks struggle to field a competent WR core.
• It's inevitable that an under-rostered WR (or two) will emerge as solid fantasy option in a Mike Martz system. My money is currently on Bryant Johnson (57 percent owned), who turned seven looks into six catches for 78 yards and a score in Week 2.

Prevention & screening
Live well
Sun and UV
Indoor tanning
Indoors or outdoors, there's no safe way to get a tan. Tanning beds and sun lamps release UV rays that start the tanning process in the skin – just like the sun. Tanned skin is damaged skin. And when the tan fades, the damage is still there.
The Society's position on indoor tanning
When you expose your skin to UV rays – whether from the sun, tanning beds or sun lamps – you increase your chances of getting skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer.
It's also one of the most preventable. To reduce your risk of getting skin cancer, don't use tanning beds or sun lamps.
The World Health Organization classifies UV-emitting devices, such as tanning beds, as a known carcinogen. And research done by the International Agency for Research on Cancer shows that being exposed to UV radiation from indoor tanning equipment before the age of 35 increases your risk of melanoma (skin cancer).
Also, long-term exposure to UV rays causing sunburns from the sun's rays, tanning beds or sun lamps, can put you at greater risk for non-melanoma or melanoma skin cancers.
Indoor tanning is never safe. These myths can hurt you, so don't believe them.
"Having a tan is healthy."
No, it's not. Tanned skin is damaged skin – it can lead to premature aging and skin cancer. If you have to have that tan, try a sunless tanning cream. Don't forget that when you're using a fake tanning product, you still need to use sunscreen when out in the sun.
"My tan protects me from the sun."
Think again! A tan offers almost no protection from sunlight or burning. Some tanning beds can expose you to 5 times more radiation than the sun. Getting a tan from a tanning bed doesn't protect you from the sun – it does more harm than the sun. Practise SunSense to protect yourself instead.
"I'll get my vitamin D by going to the tanning salon."
Tanning beds are not a safe way to get your vitamin D. It is safer to get it from the sun, supplements and your diet. In the fall and winter, a supplement is a much safer and cheaper way to get your vitamin D.

The relation between autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and schizophrenia is a subject of intense debate and research due to evidence of common neurobiological pathways in the two disorders. The objective of this study was to explore whether deficits in prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle reflex, as usually seen in schizophrenic patients, can be replicated in a group of children with ASD in comparison with a group of matched neuro-typically developed (NTD) controls. An additional aim was to explore possible psychophysiological subgroups within our ASD sample. In a case-control design, 35 ASD patients and 40 matched NTD controls were tested in a psychophysiological test battery. The PPI of the acoustic startle reflex was analyzed in 18 ASD subjects and 34 NTD controls. Habituation and sensitization were analyzed in 23 ASD subjects and 39 NTD controls. In trials with less intense prestimuli (76 dB), patients with ASD did not display the drop in percentage PPI normally found in healthy controls. In addition, ASD patients showed significantly increased sensitization compared with NTD controls. Combined, our results may reflect the hypersensitivity to sensory information in children with ASD. The relation to PPI deficits observed in schizophrenia is not apparent. Future research should study the developmental course of PPI deficits in ASD patients in a longitudinal design.

Mopey Popo: I have to poo.
Narrator: And so, once again, the day is saved, thanks to the Professor. That looked like an expensive car, Professor. Hope you enjoy taking the bus. (Laughs)
K.A.R.R.: Hello, Powderpuff Girls. How are you?
Blossom: Um, actually, it's Powerpuff Girls.
K.A.R.R.: Of course. How adorable.
Narrator: The city of Townsville, where the Professor is completing his next big project: replacing the windshield wipers on his car.
Narrator: And so, for the only time, the day is saved, thanks to the mopey Mopey Popo.
Mopey Popo: Eat my jerky.
Mojo Jojo: (After capturing the Girls) I have done it! Me, me, me! I, I, I!
Mopey Popo: I'm bored?
Mojo Jojo: Huh?
Mopey Popo: Taking over the world isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
Mojo Jojo: You speak nonsense from the words that are coming out of your mouth.
Mojo Jojo: I am finally rid of that nuisance named Mopey Popo. I should have kicked him out back in scene 61.
Mojo Jojo: (To Mopey Popo) Now, run along, and do not fumble my greatest plan, to rule the world with my new D.U.D. 9000 Super-Freez-O-Ray! Finally, a near-flawless plan is nearly complete, and the accursed Powerpuff Girls will be annihilated. (Laughs)
Mopey Popo: I have to poo.
Mojo Jojo: Get back to your station!
Mojo Jojo: Yes, that was very comical. (Laughs) We used to call that little runt... aah! Mopey Popo? Egad! I am in a state of shock!
Buttercup: Fighting robot? For what?
Professor Utonium: So all the nerds out there will think I'm cool.
First episode(s) written by Mike Kim.
K.A.R.R. is the first transport villain in "Coupe D'Etat."
We learn that Mojo Jojo is responsible for creating Mopey Popo.
In "Coupe D'Etat," K.A.R.R. stands for: "Kinetic Automatic Robotic Roadster." And P.R.O.F. stands for: "Person Replacing Original Father."
Villain(s): Mojo Jojo, Mopey Popo, & K.A.R.R.
In both of these episodes, neither day was saved by the Powerpuff Girls.
When Mojo Jojo is in his bed in "Prime Mates," you can see he has a Monkey doll. Monkey is a superhero from Dexter's Laboratory.
Obey: Name/Logo
The image on the Professor's K.A.R.R. display is a spoof of the actual eBay logo.
K.A.R.R.: I'm sorry, Blossom. I'm afraid I can't do that.
This is the same line that Hal 9000 said to Dave in the movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Buttercup: Yeah, you look like something out of a bad '80s TV show!
This quote is most likely a reference to Knight Rider; one memorable episode of that show featured an evil robotic car that was also named K.A.R.R.

Sherry, We had such a wonderful experience and felt very welcomed at the Mayor Lord's House. It was the first time we have ever stayed at a Bed & Breakfast and it was amazing. The homemade breakfast was outstanding and loved the quiche. Our room was beautiful and our bed was so comfortable and slept so very well. Thank you so very much for making our stay with you the best experience ever. We are telling everyone here in Erie about Mayor Lord's House and it is a must stay amazing place to go and relax. Shon Servidio & CJon Corbin

Sherry the Innkeeper was terrific, as was breakfast each morning. We could walk to the downtown area restaurants, which was very convenient. We would stay again if we are back in the area.

Was an easy, comfortable and special stay at this Meadville B n B. Nice conversation with the owner and chef. We certainly would return again.

From the moment we entered the mayor Lord home, we felt instantly welcome and cared for. Meadville had experienced tremendous snowfall and terrible weather but you would never know it from the warm we felt with our gracious host. The rooms were an excellent value, and the breakfast beats anything I've had inside a major chain hotel billing itself as a continental breakfast If your family is coming to Meadville to spend time with your student at Allegheny, or you are visiting for business, it is an excellent place to rest your head and a wonderful place to fill your belly at breakfast time.

Enjoyed our stay at the Mayor Lord's House. Sherry was extremely accommodating and helpful. Liked our room - the bed was very comfortable - and enjoyed breakfast - Sherry even fed our family who live in Meadville !! Would definitely stay here again.

Travelled from Ontario on our way to pittsburgh for a hockey and football game. Family of 6 (parents with adult children and their partners). Upon arrival were greeted, area questions answered and an excellent suggestion for dinner restaurant provided within easy walking distance- Voodoo Brewery. We all had a great sleep followed by a fantastic breakfast. Sherry knows how to cook! We have stayed in many bed and breakfasts and this one did not disappoint.

I stayed in a nice clean room. It did not have a bathroom on suite but she offered a free upgrade if I wanted to move.
5 on October 04, 2014
I visited a family member in Meadville, and was lucky to find Mayor Lords. I was greeted by Kate, a beautiful calico cat. Sherry kept in touch as I was not sure of my arrival. She was super attentive! I arrived earlier than expected, so I looked in all the rooms where the guests hadn't arrived yet. What a treasure! Each room was excellent. The home was craftsman, and I must admit, it's my favorite era, so I am certainly biased! I stayed in the Reynolds room, and it was delightful. The bathroom was charming, subway tile, old windows...My room was in the front, so there was noise, but not anything I would say was disturbing. Of course, I live in a noisier area, so this was minimal. Breakfast was hot/cold buffet style, and was quite good. I am not a huge breakfast person, so I am easily impressed! No stale donuts here!I wanted to stay an extra night, but they were fully booked! Next time, I will plant to stay longer!
4.6 on September 23, 2014
This is a wonderful house and place to stay. The house was awesome and very peaceful. I can't wait to stay again. It was like going home to grandma's house. Thank you for a great stay. We stayed 5 nights the first time will make it a week next time.
5 on September 18, 2014
We stayed for one night and had reserved the DeGrange room, but we were able to upgrade and chose the Lord Room. This B&B is beautiful, clean, and tastefully decorated. Sherry, the innkeeper, was helpful with restaurant suggestions and made sure we had everything we needed. We shared a bathroom with the other downstairs room, but all of your towels, soap, robes, etc are in your room, so sharing the bathroom is not an issue. We saw reviews regarding the traffic noise, but found that it was very minimal and did not bother us. Breakfast was very good and plentiful. My husband said it was just like being at home, and I said that's true if our home was beautiful and had nice furniture!!! We hope to have the opportunity to stay at Mayor Lord House in the future.

Men Found in Burned Home Victims of 'Homicidal Violence,' Police Say
Published: Monday, October 1, 2012 at 7:38 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 1, 2012 at 7:38 a.m.
ST. PETERSBURG | Police homicide detectives are investigating how two men died amid a suspicious blaze in the Historic Kenwood neighborhood Sunday afternoon.
The men, whose names and ages have not been released, died of "homicidal violence," a St. Petersburg police spokesman said, declining to provide details.
The blaze occurred about 1:30 p.m. at 2635 Fourth Ave. N, a single-family, one-story house built in 1930 and last sold in 2010.
A victim's vehicle was missing from the scene, detectives learned. Police were looking for a black, 2004 Ford pickup truck with a personalized license plate of "AREK," which is also painted on the front of the truck.
The tailgate has two devil horns painted on each side of the Ford emblem. A devil's tail is also under the emblem, police said.
Anyone with information on the pickup's location was asked to call the St. Petersburg Police Department at (727) 893-7780.
Arson investigators and crime scene technicians spent hours combing through the home for evidence. An arson dog was brought in to help.
Weather was not a factor in causing the blaze, said St. Petersburg Fire Rescue spokesman Lt. Joel Granata.
"It's a little unusual in the middle of the day," Granata said two hours after the blaze started. "There are a lot of things odd in this situation."
He declined to elaborate on the "oddities and suspicious" things connected to the fire.
When firefighters arrived, they found one man already dead in the burning structure, Granata said. The other male victim was found hours later under rubble in the laundry room.
Firefighters had to exit the home because intense heat caused the roof to collapse, Granata added. None of the firefighters was injured.
The blaze appeared to have started in the rear of the home near the laundry room and kitchen.
One victim, a friend of the owner, was staying at the house, Granata said.
The owner was not at home at the time of the fire, but returned to find the house ablaze.
A man identified by neighbors as the homeowner stood behind police tape with his partner and hugged friends as they arrived.
He declined to speak with reporters.
After speaking to police officers several times, the man waved goodbye to firefighters drinking bottled water on the rear of a fire engine. He and his partner left down Fourth Avenue.
Laura Bechtel, who lives three doors away from the burned home, has never talked to the owner.
Her 8-year-old daughter, Stella, was playing with friends in the back yard of another house and spotted smoke spewing from the bungalow.
After Stella alerted Bechtel, she darted outside and learned that someone else had already called 911.
Firefighters, she said, arrived within minutes. By that time, the home was engulfed in flames.
"It's very, very surreal," Bechtel said. "It's a sad way to meet your neighbors. We watched as it burned."

Apple TV 3.0 software update to support iTunes LP, ExtrasApple has updated the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions to reference a forthcoming 3.0 software update for the Apple TV, which will allow viewing of iTunes LP and iTunes Extras content.
The new paragraph under the "iTUNES LP AND iTUNES EXTRAS" section references an update to Apple's set-top box hobby: "iTunes LP and iTunes Extras Products are usable only on computers with iTunes 9 or higher and Apple TV with software version 3.0 or higher."
The new iTunes LP format, which debuted in September, is designed to encourage sales of full-length albums. The new format comes with additional content such as photos, videos and other bonus material. The iTunes LP format was joined by iTunes Extras, which delivers bonus materials for movies, much like are traditionally found on DVDs.
The TuneKit JavaScript framework on which both are based uses open Web standards like HTML and CSS. AppleInsider originally reported in September that the new format appeared to have Apple TV written all over it.
TuneKit content is designed for a 1280 by 720 pixel resolution, which is too large to play on the 13-inch MacBook Pro without entering full-screen mode. But it does exactly fit the HDTV output resolution of Apple TV, and could even scale down to a 480p display.
In addition, the TuneKit format includes references in its HTML meta tags to "hdtv-fullscreen" and "hdtv-cursor-off."
The last major update to the Apple TV was when the "Take Two" 2.0 firmware was released at Macworld Expo in January 2008. The next major update is expected to incorporate features of Snow Leopard, including QuickTime X and its HTTP Live Streaming protocol.
This summer, analyst Gene Munster with Piper Jaffray reiterated his belief that a new Apple TV with iTunes TV show subscriptions and potential DVR capabilities would eventually arrive from the hardware maker. He said the timing of a new hardware debut would likely be impacted by the negotiations Apple would need to conduct in order to have the rights to offer a subscription model. Munster said he believes a new Apple TV or updated Apple TV software will arrive within the next year.

- Toll Brothers cruised past FQ1 estimates and boosted guidance, and Meritage Homes reported big increases in new orders in January. Both of those names are ahead more than 3%.
- ETFs: ITB +1.85%, XHB +1.1%
- Others: Lennar (LEN +2.5%), PulteGroup (PHM +1.7%), Hovnanian (HOV +1.4%), Ryland (RYL +1.8%), KB Home (KBH +2%), Standard Pacific (SPF +3%), D.R. Horton (DHI +1.4%).
Feb. 23, 2015, 10:51 AM
- Existing home sales fell more than forecast in January, sliding to the lowest seasonally-adjusted annualized rate since April.
- Previously: Treasury yields head south following soft home sales report (Feb. 23)
- Compass Point throws in the towel on its Outperform calls on Standard Pacific (SPF -1.2%) and Beazer Homes (BZH -1.4%), downgrading both to Neutral.
- ETFs: ITB -0.7%, XHB -0.15%
- Toll Brothers (TOL -0.5%), Lennar (LEN -1%), Hovnanian (HOV -2.5%), PulteGroup (PHM -0.7%), Ryland (RYL -1.3%), D.R. Hoton (DHI -0.8%).
Feb. 19, 2015, 1:14 PM
- Rising demand driven by strong household formation in 2014 H2 should be tailwind, says the report, and the seven names targeted by the team give investors exposure to "move-up buyers."
- "Y/Y growth in average backlog prices was generally ahead of our assumptions in the most recent round of earnings reports, which suggests to us that the move-up buyer is the demographic where our builders can maintain or raise prices."
- PT changes (mostly thanks to boosted multiples): D.R. Horton (DHI +1.1%) to $28 from $23. Lennar (LEN +0.9%) to $44 from $38. Meritage (MTH -0.5%) to $53 from $42. PulteGroup (PHM +0.8%) to $27 from $23. Ryland (RYL +1.1%) to $53 from $45. Standard Pacific (SPF +0.7%) to $9 from $8. Tri Point Homes (TPH -0.2%) to $18 from $15.
Feb. 6, 2015, 3:05 PM
- With the 10-year Treasury yield ahead by 12 basis points to 1.94% and short-term interest rate futures moving quickly to price in one more rate hike this year, the homebuilder names are instead choosing to focus on the strongest 3-months of job growth in this country in nearly 20 years.
- Previously: Rate hike expectations to shift after big jobs report? (Feb. 6)
- The ITB is up 1.95% and the XHB - more weighted towards suppliers rather than homebuilders - is up 0.6%.
- Toll Brothers (TOL +0.9%), Lennar (LEN +3%), Hovnanian (HOV +1.7%), Ryland (RYL +1.7%), D.R. Horton (DHI +2.2%), KB Home (KBH +2.8%).
- Standard Pacific (SPF +5.7%) is the strongest of the bunch after beating Q4 estimates last night. Net new orders of 978 in Q4 rose 11% Y/Y, with the ASP up 10% to $491K.
- Previously: Standard Pacific beats by $0.01, beats on revenue (Feb. 5)
Jan. 29, 2015, 10:18 AM
- Both PulteGroup (PHM +5.3%) and Ryland (RYL +3.8%) beat earnings estimates, with Ryland's gross margins nicely higher, but Pulte's slimming some.
- Pending home sales unexpectedly cooled in December, but Y/Y comps are starting to get easier, and the 11.7% Y/Y gain was the highest since June 2013.
- ETFs: ITB +2.2%, XHB +1.3%
- Toll Brothers (TOL +3%), Hovnanian (HOV +2.1%), Lennar (LEN +2.9%), D.R. Horton (DHI +3.6%), KB Home (KBH +4.9%), Beazer Homes (BZH +2.9%).
- Previously: PulteGroup edges higher after earnings beat (Jan. 29)
- Previously: Ryland selling prices and margins rise from last year (Jan. 29)
- Previously: Pending home sales unexpectedly drop (Jan. 29)
Jan. 26, 2015, 10:49 AM
- D.R. Horton (DHI +7.4%) earlier reported FQ1 (ending Dec. 31) results which beat estimates and also said the sales pace has picked up in January.
- On the earnings call, management guides for 2015 gross margins of roughly 20% - earlier this month, both Lennar and KB Home warned on margins in 2015.
- Lennar (LEN +2.7%), KB Home (KBH +1.7%), Toll Brothers (TOL +1.4%), Hovnanian (HOV +2.2%), PulteGroup (PHM +1.9%), Ryland (RYL +1.5%)
Jan. 15, 2015, 11:31 AM
- The company earlier reported bottom-line results which beat estimates, but the top line slightly missed.
- FQ4 (ending Nov. 30) deliveries of 6,950 homes gained 23% from a year ago. New orders of 5,492 homes up 22%, up 24% in dollar terms. ASP of $329K vs. $307K a year ago. Incentives of 23.1K per home, or 6.6% of home sales revenue vs. $20.6K and 6.3% a year ago.

- Gross margins of 25.6% fell 120 basis points from a year ago. Operating margin of 16% down 90 bps.
- Like KB Home earlier this week, Lennar (LEN -4%) warns of lower gross margins for fiscal 2015.
- Toll Brothers (TOL -2.7%), Hovnanian (HOV -5.3%), D.R. Horton (DHI -4.9%), Ryland (RYL -4.7%), KB Home (KBH -5.5%), Pulte (PHM -4.3%) M.D.C. Holdings (MDC -5.9%), NVR (NVR -2.5%), Standard Pacific (SPF -3.2%)

- Bloomberg is reporting the president as set to announce a 50 basis point reduction in FHA fees to 0.85% at an event in Phoenix tomorrow. The news isn't good for private mortgage insurers who have been happily raking in market share gains at the expense of the government agency, but the homebuilders are a different story.
- Previously: Mortgage insurers tumble on report of cut in FHA premiums (Jan. 7)
- ETFs: ITB +3%, XHB +2.5%
- Toll Brothers (TOL +2.7%), Lennar (LEN +3.8%), D.R. Horton (DHI +4%), Ryland (RYL +2.9%), KB Home (KBH +2.5%), Hovnanian (HOV +3.6%), PulteGroup (PHM +3.9%).

- "We maintain our long-term view that companies with attractive geographic exposures should be outperformers combined with strong capital allocation and timing of land purchases," says analyst Eli Hackel, reiterating Lennar (LEN +1.6%) as a Conviction Buy, while also noting the recent strong momentum for KB Home (NYSE:KBH), Meritage (NYSE:MTH), and Taylor Morrison (NYSE:TMHC).
- While recent housing industry data has turned softer, long-term trends are intact, says Hackel, who - so far - sees little sign lower oil prices are impacting housing in Houston.

- "Why 2014 was a pause and flat to 2013 and not improving has been a bit puzzling," says Toll Brothers (TOL -7.6%) management on the earnings call.
- Asked about the impact of tumbling energy prices on markets like Dallas and Houston, management says the company's exposure there is small, with Houston accounting for 3.7% of signed contracts.
- Overall, Toll expects the housing recovery to be "bumpy," and that demand will truly return when buyers no longer fear price drops.
- Previously: Toll Brothers slips on FQ4 miss (Dec. 10, 2014)
- It's a different story (at least for the stock price) with Hovanian (HOV +5.9%) after its earning report today. Management: "It's an understatement to say that the past 12 months have been choppy ... Given the gains we've seen in employment, we would have expected stronger home sales."
- Previously: Hovnanian pops as fiscal 2015 starts off strong (Dec. 10, 2014)
- Other builders today: Ryland (RYL -5.1%), Lennar (LEN -5.3%), Beazer (BZH -5.1%), Pulte (PHM -3.5%), KB Home (KBH -5.1%).
- ETFs: ITB -3.4%, XHB -2.5%

- The currently-dormant former home of the 49ers and Giants, the "Stick" will be turned into a 500K square-foot "urban outlet" shopping center, courtesy of the current owner of the land, Lennar (NYSE:LEN), and its mall-owner/developer partner, Macerich (NYSE:MAC).
- The project will also include more than 6K homes - both rentals and for-sale.
- Demolition of Candlestick is slated for this winter. New investment and infrastructure over the next few years will top $1B.
Nov. 10, 2014, 10:08 AM
- Releasing preliminary FQ4 results ahead of a conference presentation, Toll Brothers reported sizable year-over-year sales gains both in terms of units and dollars. The ASP of homes delivered of $747K was up 6.3% from a year ago. The ASP of signed contracts in FQ4 of $757K was up 5%.
- PulteGroup (PHM +2.6%) is also benefitting from an upgrade to Buy at BofA. Others: Lennar (LEN +2.7%), D.R. Horton (DHI +2.1%), Ryland (RYL +3.1%), Hovnanian (HOV +3.4%), KB Home (KBH +3.1%).

Thailand, officially the Kingdom of Thailand, formerly known as Siam, is a country at the centre of the Indochinese peninsula in Mainland Southeast Asia. It is bordered to the north by Myanmar and Laos, to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern extremity of Myanmar. Its maritime boundaries include Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand to the southeast, and Indonesia and India on the Andaman Sea to the southwest.
With an area of 513,120 km², the country is just slightly larger than Spain or slightly more than twice the size of the U.S. state of Wyoming. Until 1939 the country was known as Siam.
By far the largest city is Bangkok, the national capital with estimated 10 million people.
Thailand's official language is Thai, which uses the Thai alphabet (derived from the Khmer alphabet). There are various dialects of Thai spoken around the country, but the central Thai dialect is the standard.
Minority languages include Isan, Yawi, Chinese dialects, and tribal languages like Mon, Khmer, Viet, and Cham. English is usually taught in school.
Thailand is located in Southeast Asia along the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand.

We visited the Disneyland Hotel for a long weekend and had a ball! We had a larger party so we had a "2 room suite" which was a bedroom with a living room and a connecting standard bedroom. Room was very clean, had a refrigerator, microwave and kitchenette. The decor was amazingly beautiful and the headboards play when you wish upon a star and have LED's on it that look like fireworks. Great place to stay! The food at Disneyland Hotel, however, left a lot to be desired unless you want to pay a lot for a character breakfast, you are better off going to Downtown Disney.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Stay and see all that is new! Now with more luxurious rooms, new pools and waterslides, themed dining and more, the transformed Disneyland Hotel is a vacation destination in and of itself. This transformation has earned the hotel the prestigious AAA Four Diamond Hotel rating. ... more less
