"The Black Dahlia" was a nickname given to Elizabeth Short[2][3][4] (July 29, 1924 – c. January 15, 1947), an American woman who was the victim of a gruesome and much-publicized murder. Short acquired the moniker posthumously by newspapers in the habit of nicknaming crimes they found particularly lurid. Short was found mutilated, her body sliced in half at the waist, on January 15, 1947, in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, California. Short's unsolved murder has been the source of widespread speculation, leading to many suspects, along with several books and film adaptations of the story. Short's murder is one of the oldest unsolved murder cases in Los Angeles history.[1]
Elizabeth Short was born in Boston; she grew up and lived in the suburb of Medford, Massachusetts. She was the third of five daughters of Cleo Short and Phoebe Mae Sawyer. Her father built miniature golf courses until the 1929 stock market crash, in which he lost much of the family's assets. In 1930, he parked his car on a bridge and vanished,[5] leading some to believe he had committed suicide. Short's mother moved the family to a small apartment in Medford and found work as a bookkeeper. It was not until later that Short would discover her father was alive and living in California.
Troubled by asthma and bronchitis, Short was sent to live for the winter in Miami at the age of 16. She spent the next three years living there during the cold months and in Medford the remainder of the year. At age 19, Short travelled to Vallejo, California, to live with her father, who was working nearby at Mare Island Naval Shipyard on San Francisco Bay. They moved to Los Angeles in early 1943, but an altercation resulted in her leaving there and finding work in the post exchange at Camp Cooke (now Vandenberg Air Force Base), near Lompoc, California. Short next moved to Santa Barbara, where she was arrested on September 23, 1943 for underage drinking. Following her arrest, she was sent back to Medford by the juvenile authorities in Santa Barbara. Short then returned to Florida to live, with occasional visits to Massachusetts.
In Florida, Short met Major Matthew Michael Gordon, Jr., a decorated United States Army Air Force officer who was assigned to the 2nd Air Commando Group and in training for deployment to China Burma India Theater of Operations. Short told friends that Gordon wrote her a letter from India proposing marriage while he was recovering from injuries sustained from an airplane crash. She accepted his proposal, but Gordon died in a second airplane crash on August 10, 1945, before he could return to the United States.
Elizabeth Short returned to Los Angeles in July 1946 to visit Army Air Force Lieutenant Joseph Gordon Fickling, an old boyfriend she had met in Florida during the war. At the time Short returned to Los Angeles, Fickling was stationed at NARB, Long Beach. For the six months prior to her death, Short remained in southern California, mainly in the Los Angeles area.

The nude body of Short was found in two pieces on a vacant lot on the west side of South Norton Avenue midway between Coliseum Street and West 39th Street (at 34°00′59″N 118°19′59″W / 34.0164°N 118.333°W) in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, on January 15, 1947. It was discovered by local resident Betty Bersinger, who was walking with her three-year-old daughter around 10 a.m.;[1][6] Bersinger initially mistook the body for a discarded store mannequin.[1] Upon realizing it was a corpse, she rushed to a nearby house, where she phoned the police.[1]
Short's severely mutilated body was severed at the waist and completely drained of blood.[7] Not only was the body bloodless, but it had been obviously washed by the killer as well.[8] Her face had been slashed from the corners of her mouth toward her ears, creating an effect called the Glasgow smile. Short also had multiple cuts on her thigh and breasts, where entire portions of flesh had been removed.[1] Her lower half was positioned a foot away from her torso, and the intestines were tucked neatly under the buttocks.[8] The body had been "posed" with her hands over her head, her elbows bent at right angles, and her legs spread.[1][5] Near the body, detectives found a cement sack which contained droplets of watery blood, as well as a heel print on the ground amidst tire tracks.[1]
The autopsy stated that Short was 5 feet 5 inches (1.65 m) tall, weighed 115 pounds (52 kg), and had light blue eyes, brown hair, and badly decayed teeth. There were ligature marks on her ankles, wrists, and neck. Although the skull was not fractured, Short had bruising on the front and right side of her scalp with a small amount of bleeding in the subarachnoid space on the right side, consistent with blows to the head.[1] The cause of death was determined to be hemorrhage from the lacerations to the face and shock due to blows on the head and face.
Following Short's identification, reporters from the Los Angeles Examiner contacted her mother, Phoebe Short, and told her that her daughter had won a beauty contest. After prying as much personal information as possible from Mrs. Short, only then did they inform her that her daughter was actually dead. The newspaper then offered to pay her air fare and accommodation if she would travel to Los Angeles to help with the police investigation. It was however a ploy; the newspaper used the trip to keep her away from police and other reporters to protect their scoop.[9] William Randolph Hearst's papers, the Los Angeles Herald-Express and the Los Angeles Examiner, later sensationalized the case: The black tailored suit Short was last seen wearing became "a tight skirt and a sheer blouse" and Elizabeth Short became the "Black Dahlia", an "adventuress" who "prowled Hollywood Boulevard".
On January 23, 1947, someone claiming to be the killer called the editor of the Los Angeles Examiner, expressing concern that news of the murder was tailing off in the newspapers and offering to mail items belonging to Short to the editor. The following day, a packet arrived at the Los Angeles newspaper containing Short's birth certificate, business cards, photographs, names written on pieces of paper, and an address book with the name Mark Hansen embossed on the cover. Hansen, an acquaintance at whose home she had stayed with friends, became a suspect. One or more persons would later write more letters to the newspaper, calling himself "the Black Dahlia Avenger", after the name given to Short by the newspapers. On January 25, Short's handbag and one shoe were reported seen on top of a garbage can in an alley a short distance from Norton Avenue, and then finally located at the dump.
Due to the notoriety of the case, more than 50 men and women have confessed to the murder, and police are swamped with tips every time a newspaper mentions the case or a book or movie about it is released. Sergeant John P. St. John, a detective who worked the case until his retirement, stated, "It is amazing how many people offer up a relative as the killer."[citation needed]
Short was buried at the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California. After Short's sisters had grown up and married, Short's mother moved to Oakland to be near her daughter's grave. Phoebe Short finally returned to the east coast in the 1970s and lived into her nineties.[5]
According to newspaper reports shortly after the murder, Elizabeth Short received the nickname "Black Dahlia" at a Long Beach, California drugstore in mid 1946 as wordplay on the film The Blue Dahlia. Los Angeles County district attorney investigators' reports state that the nickname was invented by newspaper reporters covering the murder. Los Angeles Herald-Express reporter Bevo Means, who interviewed Short's acquaintances at the drug store, is credited with first using the "Black Dahlia" name.[10]
A number of people, none of whom knew Short, contacted police and the newspapers, claiming to have seen her during her so-called "missing week"—a period between the time of her January 9 disappearance and the time her body was found on January 15. Police and district attorney investigators ruled out each of these alleged sightings; in some cases, those interviewed were identifying other women they had mistaken.[11]
Many true-crime books claim that Short lived in or visited Los Angeles at various times in the mid-1940s; these claims have never been substantiated and are refuted by the findings of law enforcement officers who investigated the case. A document in the Los Angeles County district attorney's files titled "Movements of Elizabeth Short Prior to June 1, 1946" states that Short was in Florida and Massachusetts from September 1943 through the early months of 1946 and gives a detailed account of her living and working arrangements during this period. Although a popular portrayal amongst her acquaintances and many true-crime authors was of Short as a call girl, the Los Angeles district attorney's grand jury proved there was no existing evidence that she was ever a prostitute, and the district attorney's office attributes the claim to confusion with a prostitute of the same name. Another widely circulated rumor holds that Short was unable to have sexual intercourse because of a congenital defect that left her with "infantile genitalia". Los Angeles County district attorney's files state that the investigators had questioned three men with whom Short had engaged in sex,[12] including a Chicago police officer who was a suspect in the case.[13] The FBI files on the case also contain a statement from one of Short's alleged lovers. Found in the Los Angeles district attorney's files and in the Los Angeles Police Department's summary of the case, Short's autopsy describes her reproductive organs as anatomically normal, although the report notes evidence of what it called "female trouble". The autopsy also states that Short was not and had never been pregnant, contrary to what had been claimed prior to and following her death.[12]
The Black Dahlia murder investigation was conducted by the LAPD. The Department also enlisted the help of hundreds of officers borrowed from other law enforcement agencies. Owing to the nature of the crime, sensational and sometimes inaccurate press coverage focused intense public attention on the case.
About 60 people confessed to the murder, mostly men. Of those, 25 were considered viable suspects by the Los Angeles District Attorney. In the course of the investigation, some of the original 25 were eliminated, and several new suspects were proposed. Suspects remaining under discussion by various authors and experts include Walter Bayley,[14] Norman Chandler, Leslie Dillon, Joseph A. Dumais, Mark Hansen, Dr. Francis E. Sweeney, George Hill Hodel, George Knowlton, Robert M. "Red" Manley, Patrick S. O'Reilly, and Jack Anderson Wilson.[15]
Some crime authors have speculated on a link between the Short murder and the Cleveland Torso Murders, which took place in Cleveland between 1934 and 1938.[16] As with a large number of killings that took place before and after the Short murder, the original LAPD investigators looked into the Cleveland murders in 1947 and later discounted any relationship between the two cases. Nevertheless, new evidence implicating a former Cleveland torso murder suspect, Jack Anderson Wilson (a.k.a. Arnold Smith), was investigated by Detective John P. St. John in 1980 in connection with Short's death. St. John claimed he was close to arresting Wilson for the death of Short, but Wilson died in a fire on February 4, 1982.[17]
Crime authors such as Steve Hodel (son of George Hill Hodel) and William Rasmussen have suggested a link between the Short murder and the 1946 murder and dismemberment of six-year-old Suzanne Degnan in Chicago.[18] Captain Donahoe of the Los Angeles police also stated publicly that he believed the Black Dahlia and Lipstick murders were "likely connected".[19] Among the evidence cited is the fact that Elizabeth Short's body was found on Norton Avenue three blocks west of Degnan Boulevard, Degnan being the last name of the girl from Chicago, and there were striking similarities between the writing of the Degnan ransom note and that of "the Black Dahlia Avenger". For example, both used a combination of capitals and small letters (the Degnan note read in part "BuRN This FoR heR SAfTY"), and both notes contain a similar misshapen letter P and have one word matching exactly.[20] Convicted serial killer William Heirens served life in prison for Degnan's murder. Initially arrested at age 17 for breaking into a residence close to that of Suzanne Degnan, Heirens claimed he was tortured by police, forced to confess, and made a scapegoat in the Degnan murder.[21]
A television dramatization, "Who Is the Black Dahlia?" (1975), featured Lucie Arnaz in the role of Elizabeth Short. The case has inspired numerous works of fiction, among them True Confessions, a 1981 film starring Robert De Niro and Robert Duvall. It was adapted from a 1977 novel of the same name by John Gregory Dunne. James Ellroy's 1987 novel The Black Dahlia is a fictionalized account that, like Dunne's, uses the case as an occasion for "an exploration of the larger fields of politics, crime, corruption, and paranoia in post-war Los Angeles", according to cultural critic David M. Fine.[22] Brian De Palma's 2006 film The Black Dahlia, based on Ellroy's novel, bears little relation to the facts of the case.[23]

Lightning costs Rio's iconic Christ statue tip of thumb
Published on Jan 18, 2014 6:37 AM
RIO DE JANEIRO (AFP) - The iconic statue of Jesus overlooking Rio de Janeiro, one of the city's most recognisable landmarks, has lost a thumb tip to lightning, a report said on Friday.
Christ The Redeemer, the giant monument and tourist magnet that looms atop nearby Mount Corcovado, was damaged in a huge storm on Thursday night, O Globo newspaper reported on its website.
Standing at 38 metres - pedestal and all - the statue was named in a 2007 global poll as one of seven new wonders of the world.
Site caretaker Father Osmar Raposo said the giant concrete figure that juts from the mountain top some 710 metres above Rio's beaches, would undergo repair next month.

This is used as a night stand set... but can be used on almost any occasion. Pretty crystal clear cup and the decanter is so pretty it can be used as a vase. Nice set for breakfast too. Serve up some OJ or apple juice. I recommend getting the additional cups that are available on the Birchbox site.
5Very practical--I already had a set of 4 govino glasses, so I knew the material and relative quality/heft of these items, but this was my first decanter. I've loved having it around, especially for small groups and still looks great and cleans easily.
I've only had my set for a week or two but we've been using our govino glasses for about a year and expect the decanter set to have a decent age as well.
This is completely my fault because clearly polymer is not glass but these are PLASTIC. Not something I would ever want to drink wine out of. And a cheap flimsy plastic that is no duh shatterproof but is easily bendable. I am SO disappointed that I bought these. Or rather that I wasted my BB points on these. Sigh.
1I bought this knowing that it was "plastic" because it states that in the description. What I was not expecting was the low quality - especially the price. It is not designed well, either - before you drink, it is convenient enough to carry as the "cup" fits over the top of the decanter. Once you pour a drink, you have to carry them separate, as the cup does not allow remaining liquid to go into the decanter - it goes down the sides and makes a mess. It is now sitting in my cabinet taking up space...

Swanling Slumber Sleeper
At a glance
A sleep sack, sheet, and mattress protector all in one
Suitable for
BabyCenter Editors' review*
What it is:
The Slumber Sleeper literally zips your child in, to keep young babies positioned on their backs (the safest sleeping position, according to the AAP) and away from the sides of the crib. Essentially a sleep sack sewn onto a waterproof sheet, the Slumber Sleeper fits snugly over a standard crib mattress (expect to struggle a bit to get it on, as you would with any deep-fitted sheet). A zipper down the length of the sheet provides easy access to the sack; a tag with a snap at the top prevents the zipper from scratching your child's chin.
What to watch out for:
This product tends to work best for children who are introduced to it in infancy; we don't recommend purchasing it for your toddler as a means of keeping him in his crib. Although older children are supposed to be able to move around freely while zipped in, the 2-year-old we tested this on was not able to kneel, roll over, or easily move onto his side in the 10.5-inch-wide sleep sack. We also felt uneasy about securing our child in a crib in any manner that would prevent us from quickly picking him up in case of emergency. In any case, assuming you don't want to fork up another $129, you'll need sack and sheet backups for times when this is in the wash or there's a diaper blowout. As practical as this item may seem, it just isn't.

Why United States Steel (X) Is Down Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- United States Steel (X - Get Report) was falling 5.76% to $25.20 on Wednesday morning after the U.S. Department of Commerce announced it would not impose tariffs on South Korea's steel pipes used in the oil and natural gas industries.
U.S. Steel and other American steel companies would have benefited from such a tariff, but South Korea, the largest steel exporter among nine nations named in a trade case filed by U.S. Steel Corp. and other producers, avoided it. U.S. Steel and its associates alleged that South Korea had been selling steel pipes at unfairly low prices, but the Department of Commerce stated it found no evidence of such action.
"In our opinion, this outcome is a material negative surprise to Street expectations," JP Morgan wrote in a research note on Wednesday morning. "Specifically, the DOC found no OCTG [oil country tubular goods] dumping by Korea, the largest exporter to the U.S. by far at 17% of 2013 consumption. In our view, this finding alone is sufficient to pressure U.S. Steel's tubular margins given Korea's 2014 OCTG exports will likely continue trending above the 2013 average. In addition, other preliminary dumping margins were well below what we view as the only benchmark available, initial alleged margins disclosed in the trade case."
Must Read: United States Steel Corporation (X) Down In Early Morning Trading
TheStreet Ratings team rates UNITED STATES STEEL CORP as a "hold" with a ratings score of C-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate UNITED STATES STEEL CORP (X) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. Among the primary strengths of the company is its solid stock performance, considering both the consistency and magnitude of the price movement over time. At the same time, however, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, generally higher debt management risk and disappointing return on equity." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- X, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 4.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 4.8%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- UNITED STATES STEEL CORP has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past year. However, the consensus estimate suggests that this trend should reverse in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, UNITED STATES STEEL CORP reported poor results of -$14.27 versus -$0.97 in the prior year.

Part of a series on Lucky Star. [View Related Entries]
This submission is currently being researched & evaluated!
You can help confirm this entry by contributing facts, media, and other evidence of notability and mutation.
Timotei is a popular remix subject based on a short clip derived from episode 6, "Fixtures of Summer"("Natsu no Teiban), of the anime Lucky Star, in which the main character Konata recreates a famous advert in a public bath by stroking her hair while saying, "Timotei". Numerous remixes and MAD's were created using the unusual sound clip on video sites such as Nico Nico Douga.
The original advert
Timotei is an Nordic brand of shampoo which was launched in Sweden in the 70's, then later introduced to the rest of the world in the mid-80's, including Japan. The shampoo is still being sold in many parts of the world to this day, including Japan, the UK and Australia.
When the shampoo was advertised in Japan, a jingle featuring a lady repeatedly singing the title of the product in a short song was added, accompanied with footage of a woman washing her hair by wringing it out into a bucket, which is what Konata is recreating in the scene. The advert was discontuined long before the episode aired though, explaining why her friends do not initially recognise the reference.
The advert starts at 0:06
Such was the popularity of the parody, that, according to the page's discussion[1], the Wikipedia page for the original shampoo was created purely because of it's connection to the scene.
Timotei is also one of the sound clips used in the highly popular Paffendorf Dance and Konata de Gozaimadu!
Some examples of the remixes, several originally from Nico Nico Douga:

Now I've seen the videos on barrel boring and I get it completely. And I often use my friend's RT ULE custom with a stiffi .689 barrel. I noticed the consistancy on it. But what's so wrong about underboring? I'm currently using a Disruptive 1-piece barrel and it is exceptionally quiet, though I don't know why people are indirectly saying that underboring is bad. How so?
Barrel size?

Underboring isn't bad. People just go along with the common assumption that squeezing a seemingly solid ball through a hole that is smaller in diameter than the ball itself will cause the ball to break. But it's not true. There is absolutely nothing wrong with underboring. Unless of course your paints at something like .690 and you're trying to bore at .670.
Posted 11 April 2012 - 09:16 AM
I think it comes down to whether you want to spend any time thinking about your barrel. If you shoot a stock barrel, you don't really have to think about it. A .690 will accommodate pretty much any paint you're likely to encounter, and it will shoot OK. Underboring requires a bit more thought and effort, because if you're running a small bore barrel, you'll have issues if you run into big, swollen, or misshapen paint. You probably need another insert or a second barrel if you want to be safe. The performance benefits of underboring are relatively small (except for pumps, of course), so I think some people don't think it's worth the hassle.

underboring yields the best consistancy and efficiency.
overboring yields the best consistancy.
paint-to-barrel matching is inferior to the other two.

Does underboring have any effect on spins or is it just the paint?

B'nai Israel members circulate petition
Now not the time to combine with Beth-El, they say
About 30 B'nai Israel Synagogue congregation members have signed a petition to stop a proposed merger of the two local Jewish places of worship.
The petition states that the unison of the conservative B'nai Israel congregation and the reform congregation at Temple Beth-El would divide the Jewish community.
"It's splintering the people of the conservative faith," said Mark Brauer, B'nai Israel Synagogue board member.
Brauer said although a merger could be beneficial, now is not the time. The differences between conservative and reform Judaism are too great to allow regular worship together, he said.
Rabbi Gary Kessler of B'nai Israel declined comment.
Rabbi Kenneth Roseman of Temple Beth-El was unavailable for comment this week but has said the merger is a good idea and would bring unity to the Jewish community. Attempts to contact members of the congregation were unsuccessful.
Daryl Schmidt, religion professor at Texas Christian University, said reform and conservative Jews interpret Jewish scriptures differently.
"It has to do with the degree to which they are observant of the traditions," Schmidt said. "The reform person certainly doesn't object to anything they see in a conservative synagogue, but they don't feel it's obligatory to do any of that. A community of observant Jews would expect everybody participating to perform in a certain way."
B'nai Israel member Charles Doraine said although there are differences in worship, the merger is beneficial.
"The idea is to come together for the entire Jewish community," Doraine said. "To have two parallel organizations as we've had for all these years at this time is both expensive and keeps our community from being closer together."
Roseman said last week that the proposed merger would be discussed during a joint meeting of the two congregations on Sept. 11.

Event Horizon(1997)The year is 2047. Years earlier, the pioneering research vessel Event Horizon vanished without a trace. Now a signal from it has been detected, and the United States Aerospace Command responds. Hurtling toward the signal's source are a fearless captain (Laurence Fishburne), his elite crew and the lost ship's designer (Sam Neill). Their mission: find and salvage the state- of-the-art spacecraft. What they find is state-of-the-art interstellar terror. What they must salvage are their own lives, because someone or something is ready to ensnare them in a new dimension of unimaginable fear. Costarring Kathleen Quinlan. For more about Event Horizon and the Event Horizon Blu-ray release, see Event Horizon Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on December 16, 2008 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5. Starring: Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson, Richard T. Jones, Jack Noseworthy Director: Paul W.S. Anderson » See full cast & crew Event Horizon Blu-ray, Video QualityEvent Horizon folds onto Blu-ray with a quality 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer. Though this transfer doesn't necessarily jump off the screen with a barrage of realistic, deep, and clear imagery, there is nevertheless a solid level of visible detail, ranging from drops of water on Sam Neill's body after coming out of extended stasis to the caked-on grime seen on the various surfaces of the Clark and Horizon. The image exhibits some spots over the print that are noticeable but never overly distracting. Some of the dark, hazy, interior shots of the Horizon hold up very well, with no immediate visual anomalies. There are a few very minor instances of banding in a few places, but it is never obvious or much of a distraction. The film is rather dark in general, and blacks play an integral role in the look and feel of the film. They could be a bit deeper in some shots, but they hold up rather well throughout. Grain is present but never too heavy, and it is only most apparent over darker backgrounds. Flesh tones always look natural and rich under each lighting condition thrown at them, from the bright, fluorescent lights aboard the Clark early in the film to the deepest, darkest, poorly-lit innards of the Event Horizon. Paramount has delivered a solid transfer that will please this film's fan base. Event Horizon Blu-ray, Audio QualityEvent Horizon enters the lossless dimension via a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack. The soundstage feels a bit cramped and limited in range during the pulsating opening theme that plays over the credits. The track picks up during the film; the opening shot of the ship is accompanied by a hefty amount of bass, and various sounds pan around the listening area with ease. Inside the Clark, there is little in the way of ambience. The hum of the engine is heard, but there is never much of a sense of actually being on board. The Clark's bumpy arrival into Neptune orbit in chapter five features plenty of visual rattling and rolling, but the accompanying audio is only moderately aggressive. A series of explosions in chapter seven features a good amount of bass and fine surround presence, both of which support the visuals well. Dialogue sometimes sounds a bit tiny and muffled. A discussion amongst the crew as to the events of the film in chapter 10 seems to show a discernible loss in volume. Later in the chapter, bass pounds away at an appreciably high level. The soundtrack is generally hit-or-miss; the hits are great, and fortunately the misses are only near misses. The track is never a disaster, just a slight letdown in a few places.

UFPI Reports An 11.4 Percent Increase In Fourth Quarter 2011 Net Sales
Universal Forest Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPI) today announced 2011 fourth-quarter results that included net sales of $422.0 million, up 11.4 percent over fourth-quarter 2010 net sales of $378.7 million. For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company saw a loss of $1.7 million, or ($.09) per diluted share, compared to 2010 fourth-quarter earnings of $124,000, or $0.01 per diluted share.
Fourth-quarter earnings for 2011 were negatively impacted by $2.7 million and for 2010 by $0.5 million in noncash impairment charges for closed facilities. In addition, fourth-quarter 2010 results benefited from a $2.3 million noncash tax benefit associated with removing a valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset. Excluding the after-tax impact of these noncash adjustments in both periods, the Company had a profit of $26,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a net loss of $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. (See table, "Reconciliation of Reported Net Earnings to Pro Forma Net Earnings," page 3.)
Annual net sales for 2011 were $1.82 billion, down 3.6 percent from 2010 annual net sales of $1.89 billion. Annual net earnings for 2011 were $0.23 per diluted share compared with annual net earnings of $0.89 per diluted share for 2010.
"We are encouraged by the sales growth in the fourth quarter as well as the impact of our cost reductions on our bottom line," said CEO Matthew J. Missad. "I'm very proud of the way our people climbed out of the hole we were in after the first six months of the year. The results from our continuing operations trended much better in the fourth quarter."
"Our balance sheet remains very strong," Missad added. "We have the business model we need for growth and a strong capital structure to fund our growth. Most importantly, our people are energized and eager to achieve our goals."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Sovaldi, Harvoni, And Why It's Different This Time
November 21st, 2014
With the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s approval of Harvoni, the successor to Gilead Science's Sovaldi, the alarm bells have officially rung on breakthrough hepatitis C treatments. One can't open a newspaper or scan a Twitter feed without stumbling on at least one reference to either of the these two drugs for hepatitis C — an often debilitating viral infection impacting the liver that affects somewhere between 3 to 5 million Americans and several hundred million people worldwide. Hepatitis C infection is often asymptomatic and can have long latency periods. In up to 20 percent of people, chronic infection can lead to liver failure, liver cancer, and potentially liver transplantation.
Gilead Sciences paid $11 billion to acquire the rights to Sovaldi — a drug that offers significant improvement in viral clearance over existing therapies — and launched the drug in the U.S. market at a price ($1,000 per pill, or $84,000 per course of treatment) that is usually reserved for drugs targeting "orphan conditions" for much smaller populations. Not surprisingly, Congress has taken an interest, patient advocacy groups are organizing, the health care community is holding conferences, coalitions are channeling a growing national outrage about the price, and public and private payers are stymied by the challenge of responsibly managing utilization of the drug.

Royal Lahaina Resort, Kaanapali
Editor's Pick
Kaanapali , Hawaii
Tel: 800 222 5642 (toll-free)
Tel: 808 661 3611
Concierge.com's insider take:
The Royal Lahaina was one of the first hotels to open on Maui in the 1960s, and it occupies a still-isolated two-mile stretch of world-famous Kaanapali Beach (a three-minute walk north of Black Rock). Until a multimillion-dollar renovation in 2007, the look here was in line with the hotel's kitschy-cute Trader Vic's bar. Now, the 328 rooms in the hotel's 12-story Lahaina Kai tower sport mod minimalist decor in dark wood, crisp white, and orange. Seventy-five percent of them also have unobstructed honeymoon-worthy ocean views, which are best enjoyed from your small balcony. The 114 family-friendly cottages, public spaces, and restaurants (try the Kahlú'a pork quesadillas and ahi tacos) are still charmingly stuck in the Brady Bunch era, although more renovations are planned for 2010. What hasn't changed is the friendly service (much of the staff has been here for 30 years), and nostalgic types can book the property's villa (really just a humble three-bedroom house) to fantasize about the Lahaina of 50 years ago, when you could still build like this, with a lawn that ends right on the beach. The Royal Lahaina isn't the slickest choice in the Kaanapali area, but given the resort's small scale, relative seclusion, and rates starting under $250, it may be the smartest.—Cathay Che

DoTA had the horn call when the creep wave starts. Just wondering if you guys are planning on implementing a sound, countdown or some visual cue to tell you when the game is about to start. Thanks :]
I agree, the creep starting horn was a great way to alert players who are busy chatting or browsing items that it's time to get moving!
I'll also agree with this =)
YARGGGG NOT THE HORNN!!! srsly countdown, chime, ring...anything but that damn horn!
Senior Member
I agree with TwoFatNuts. Not the horn, but at least some sort of audio queue and maybe an onscreen announcement
I agree. The horn normally stood as the "tab in" queue for me when i was reading forums and stuff
Any kind of sound would suit me, I agree that the horn can be annoying, but I kinda like it. Anyway, a sound is really needed at this point of the game. Maybe just a voice that would say "Minions spawn" or something like that.
Razzle Dazzle
I'd love some kind of warning to when the creeps first spawn! make the horn go BAAH-WOOO-GAH BAAH-WOOO-GAH or a frecnh police siren! WEEE-WAH WEE-WAH!
How about, "READY?" "FIGHT!" like in Street Fighter. Or, you can have a random champion from each side say some comment like, Amumu: WAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!! Sivir: Someone needs a baby-sitter. Then the game begins.

I Was a Neocon Until Jesus Christ Brought Me Home
Submitted by Phxarcher87 on Sun, 07/21/2013 - 05:21I was a neocon until Jesus Christ brought me home. I loved war, trusted my government and wanted George W. Bush jr to lay it to the bad guys. But once Jesus softened my heard i was able to feel again. I opposed war and violence. I started to realized war was a deceitful lie brought on by men why do now know God.
Dr. Paul is a political dissident, much like my savior, Jesus Christ.
John 18: 28-37
Jesus Before Pilate
28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, "What charges are you bringing against this man?"
30 "If he were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed him over to you."
31 Pilate said, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law."
"But we have no right to execute anyone," they objected. 32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.
33 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"
34 "Is that your own idea," Jesus asked, "or did others talk to you about me?"
35 "Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?"
36 Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place."
37 "You are a king, then!" said Pilate.
Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."
Christ took the beating of all beatings for you and I. My saviors life is very unique, it did not stop at the death of his body though. He rose from a cold tomb on the third day to show the world that death is not the end.
In a very very very small way I saw Dr.Pauls life going the same way. As goes, he is a Dr. who delivers babies. What, I thought politicians were lifers? So Dr. Paul puts his career on hold to help save the people of the U.S.A. It's like Noah and the Ark, building a ship and everyone around him thinks he's crazy.
Dr. Pauls ship that he was building was one I never saw before. It entailed a strong hull of national security and the idea that maybe our international actions were bringing our own blowback. His sails consisted of individuality and self ownership, economic and social liberties. His tall mast, fervently opposing the Federal reserve and holding strong against strong winds. The wheelhouse that guided the boat was one of non violence and honest money. His ship was one I was willing to board. I had faith in this man to steer my country in the right direction away from destruction.
Still i ask, why would one man care so much about his country and liberty? Why do people choose to fight the good fight and not just give in to darkness, and with Christ I ask why for me?

When I read this I was kind of shocked because I went through the almost the same thing.
I was a Neo-Con war pushing Punk!
I called every one a liberal and acted like my shit didn't stink.
Then my mother introduced me to Jesus Christ. I accepted him into my heart and my life has changed dramatically. And trust me... once I woke... there was no way to go back to sleep. My mind is spinning daily.

Even though I was against the war from the beginning, God did have to soften my heart to really be passionate about it. I guess I was like a lot of the Democrats in that I didnt think the war was a good idea but at the end of the day I didn't really care all that much.

What amazes me is that when I was a churchgoing regular, reading the Bible daily, I loved war.
Since I gave that all up, and have studied our failed foreign policy, I have finally come to understand and appreciate what Jesus was talking about.
Meanwhile, my extended family is all Bible reading, war-loving neocons. Amazing that you can claim to worship the Prince of Peace while craving war.
I have concluded that humans are animals by nature, always looking for a fight. Jesus was trying to elevate our behavior above that of other animals.

of Christ! Christ's Holy Land is anywhere His followers reside and speak His Word, don't be fooled by the historical Holy Land. In other words, be sure to avoid Zionist (anti)Christians as they teach blasphemy as the teachings of Christ. I know, as I'm a former Zionist apostate, and was save by the Blessings of Christ from the Luciferian deceivers, who preach war, hatred, murder to protect their idol Israel. Here, are some excellent guidlines to be aware of if you are to attend a church, by Rev Ted Pike, who's father was the major force in establishing the National Day of Prayer.

Whether you come to it via a born again experience or through reason, once you accept the validity of the Golden Rule - I mean REALLY accept it and consciously attempt to live by it - it's pretty darn difficult to be a neocon. In fact it's pretty darn difficult to be anything but libertarian.

or do the ideas originate from nature's creator?
I do believe it is an error to attribute the metaphorical ship to Dr. Paul. The ship of truth has been under construction long before Ron Paul and it may not set sail till long after. Like many before him, Dr. Paul has played his part and there may be many parts yet to be played. Should construction on the ship of truth be halted so an idol of Ron Paul can be built in it's place? I give Ron all the glory for his part but I credit truth and liberty where credit is due, the source.

A modern day prophet perhaps

" ... because every man's own word becomes his oracle ..."
"This is what you keep saying to a prophet. What is the Lord's answer to you or what has the Lord spoken?" -Jeremiah 23:33-40
I think the new testament has a message or two on that same line of thought:
"Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven." -Matthew 18:19
Since Ron hasn't claimed to be a prophet, I haven't felt any need to bring this subject up or ask him what has the Lord spoken to him. I have no idea if Ron is a modern day prophet. Perhaps one is their own prophet.

He would never
Ron would never claim to be a prophet.
For one thing, he is too humble.
For another, although he is a faithful man, he does not wear religion on his sleeve to gain political brownie points with believers.
Thirdly, his prophecies need not rely on the supposed ethos of being divine revelations. Instead, he can show us philosophically. He is a true lover of truth and wisdom, which does not please the crowd but often pleases God. The philosophy of Liberty and true Christian teachings are perfectly aligned since liberty arises from Natural Law.
Fourthly, events have and will continue to vindicate his predictions, which are based ultimately on a sound knowledge of Austrian Economics and the boom-bust business cycle brought about by central bank intervention.
Finally, it all boils down to Love. God is Love. Act out of Love and you fulfill all the commandments. One who follows the Golden Rule can not transgress the Mosaic or Noahide Laws, which is why it can replace them all in a manner of speaking. For example, one who places Love first, places God first since God is Love. On that vein...
One who places Love first will honor their parents.
One who places Love first will not steal.
One who places Love first will not murder.
One who places Love above all things will not be dishonest.

This is the question we all ask ourselves constantly.
Why do we do this?
Why am I here?
What do I have to gain by putting myself out there, my name, my family, my fortune, my herd?
But we do it nonetheless, for what it is worth.
Daily Paul cured my abibliophobia.

Welcome to the Ark of Truth
"It's like Noah and the Ark, building a ship and everyone around him thinks he's crazy."
I couldn't agree more and the same imagery has been in my mind as well. Thank you for the courageous testimonial.

New and Replacement Fireplaces
When building a traditional fireplace, install ducts around it so cool room air is drawn in and circulated around the firebox. Warmed air is ducted back into the room by convection. To heat the room even more efficiently, install a small fan in the duct system.
Better yet, consider direct-vent fireplaces, which look like traditional fireplaces but are up to 78 percent energy efficient. By taking advantage of zero-clearance technology, direct-vent fireplaces can be installed next to walls and wood framing without a masonry foundation. There's no chimney with a direct-vent fireplace; instead, it uses a sealed system with combustion air coming from outside the house. Direct-vent fireplaces have a securely sealed glass door to prevent combustion products from entering the house, leaving you with a warm room and an energy-efficient fireplace.
Clothes Washers and Dryers
Hot water accounts for 90 percent of the energy used to wash clothes. Choosing the warm setting instead of hot can reduce a load's energy use by half; choosing cold reduces it even further.
