Read this passage from Bruce Catton's The Civil War, pg. 285, New York: Fairfax Press, 1980.
"On Good Friday evening, April 14 -- driven by an insane compulsion of hatred and perverted loyalty to a cause which he had never felt obliged to fight for as a soldier -- Booth strode into the President's box at Ford's Theatre in Washington, fired a bullet into Lincoln's brain, vaulted from the box to the stage, and rode off desperately through the night, fancying that if he could just reach Confederate territory he would be hailed as a hero and a savior."
1. What of the paragraph is "common knowledge"?
2. Is this correctly done or has some plagiarism taken place?
Booth shot Lincoln in the head then jumped onto the stage, escaped from Ford's Theatre, and rode off into the night. He dreamed that if he could only reach the South he would be called a demigod by the Confederates.
3. Is this correctly done or has some plagiarism taken place?
John Wilkes Booth chose Good Friday to strike his first blow as a so-called soldier for the South. On the night of April 14, 1865 he murdered President Lincoln in the Ford's Theatre.
4. Is this correctly done or has some plagiarism taken place?
John Wilkes Booth murdered President Lincoln in the Ford's Theatre then jumped onto the stage and left the building. Although Booth never fought in the Confederate Army he was driven by "an insane compulsion of hatred and perverted loyalty" when he broke the peace of that Good Friday evening. 1
1. Booth shot Lincoln in the head at the Ford's Theatre then jumped onto the stage and attempted to escape by riding away. A general idea of motives is common knowledge, that is, his motive to kill Lincoln as an aide to the Confederacy, but his specific expectation of being hailed as a "hero and a savior" is probably not generally known.
2. This is simply a loose paraphrasing of Catton's words. Since no credit is given to Catton for the ideas, this is indeed plagiarism.
3. This highlights little known facts of the assassination such as that it took place on Good Friday, that Booth never fought for the Confederacy, and the specific date. Since those facts are not common knowledge and are not credited to Catton, this too is plagiarism.
4. In this case the items of common knowledge are listed, properly, without reference to Catton. The direct quote from Catton is in quotation marks but the footnote number does not appear until the end of the sentence. That indicates that both those specific words and those specific facts (that Booth was never a soldier and Good Friday) are Catton's.

Richard and Angela McAnulty Maimed Their Daughter
By Thinkgoat
Eugene, Oregon The defendants, on or about December 9. 2009, in Lane County, Oregon, under circumstances manifesting and extreme indifference to the value of human life, did unlawfully and recklessly cause the death by neglect and maltreatment of Jeanette Marie Maples, a dependent person born August 9, 1993, contrary to statute and against the peace and dignity of the State of Oregon; The State further alleges this crime occurred in the course of, or as a result of, intentional maiming and torture of the victim. DATED December 10, 2009 at Eugene, Lane County, Oregon. ORS 163.095 (1)(c)(B)*
Maiming. A 16-year-old. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary: Maim implies the loss or injury of a bodily member through violence. Wiki defines maiming as an act or physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of any living body, usually without causing death. So either this sweet and loving couple got bored with torturing this child or they got a little carried away with the festivities because when 911 was called and the emergency workers arrived, Jeanette Maples was lying in the bathtub injured and unconscious. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Authorities have not released details regarding the exact abuse and torture this child suffered but were quick to explain the circumstances leading to her death affected detectives working the case. Documents filed in court state the alleged murder was caused "by neglect and maltreatment" and "occurred in the course of, or as a result of, intentional maiming and torture of the victim." This was done by the hands of her mother and step-father, Angela and Richard McAnulty.
Outside of the senseless and savage death of this child is the thought that her death could have been prevented. Although she was registered as being homeschooled, Jeanette had some contact with her step-grandmother who noticed signs of abuse months prior to her death. In an interview, she described seeing a split and swollen lip and what looked like hair being yanked out by the fist full. Not accepting the standard, "she fell down the stairs" explanation that every single asshole abuser in the world uses, granny took a friend's advice and called the state's child abuse hotline. Many times. They did absolutely nothing and a child was tortured to death. Lynn McAnulty naturally regrets not calling the police – she simply didn't want to lose contact with her grandchildren. I cannot imagine having to endure the torture Lynn will live with – feeling she should have done more to protect this child. I also feel, with multiple calls to a child abuse hotline, a damn surprise visit from that agency should have taken place. I guess I'm not the only one with that view: Dr. Bruce Goldberg, who is the director for Oregon's Human Services has ordered an inside investigation into the caseworkers who may have been assigned this case. Although it's too late for the child, it's almost refreshing to not have a department-head cry, "we're so over-worked" or "we did everything possible – it's not our fault".
Two other children who were living in the home were taken into protective custody, a 12-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy. It's not known at this time, if they were abused as well.
Angela McAnulty (41) and Richard McAnulty (40) were arrested on charges of murder by abuse. Thank God the death of these two sadistic people may be on the table. If they can't take themselves out of the gene pool, I vote for doing it for them.

I love the way you opened this piece with the indictment. Even in the cold legal-speak this crime is horrendous. Great write up.
December 15, 2009 at 2:42 pm
I am most sure they will be. God would never let this go unpunished. Iv been to Hell. Iv seen the demons faces and heard Satan's blood chilling laugh. They will be tortured far worse than what happened to this poor girl. They will endure it for all eternity over, and over, and over again. They will scream to God to take pity on them, but it will come to nothing. They will commit eternal suicide only to be reborn in that condemned place only for the torture to start again. I am by no means a Jesus Freak, but God himself did send me to hell once when I was extremely suicidal. It was a vision, but i saw it all and then some. I heard everything, and saw things. I would not wish Hell on my worst enemy. The images I saw that night will forever be ingrained in my head.

This woman will never make through prison. I agree with trying for the death sentence for her but honestly jail WILL be her death sentence. People (including convicts of all types) highly frown upon people that pray on children. She will not go unpunished. I almost want to commit some crime myself so I can go to jail and personally rid the world of this bitch. BUT I am a wonderful mother and cannot be incarcerated and away from my babies therefore I will have to patiently wait for some "saintly criminal" to do the deed.
February 25, 2011 at 12:49 am
I just do not understand.. First there were people alone with her for her to confide in.. I would have kept her.. Bring on the police I am a kidnapper go get the fucking CPS.. I am calling my lawyer better go get you one too.. I think that may have been the only reason they would have taken notice.. How about a hospital?? Grandmother alone with child, confess abuse wieghing a tiny 50 lbs.. We all know a Dr.. would have called!! I find these crimes unthinkable.. And omly hope the other children did not witness this.. I would hope like hell they do not turn out the same..

Grounding is connection to the earth.
You already knew that, right?
In practice, it's a few different things:
- Open, charged, vibrant root and sacral chakras, that take in lots of lovely earth energy
- Connection and contact with the physical body, especially the lower half
- Energetic connection with the earth: deep roots from the feet and root chakra, into our spiritual momma
- Slow vibration: being in resonance with the earth
And there's a couple of extra things that need to be addressed for the above to happen:
- Releasing deep, cellular (and maybe also ancestrally inherited, or from past lives) fear and trauma
- Healing and releasing the energetic blocks in the lower half of the body and aura that inhibit the flow of earth energy
Grounding work (or play!) can either be immediate (I think of that as 'triage') or it can be long term.
If a person is in shock, I wouldn't tell them to go and have some intensive therapy about their strained parental relationships. I'd give them a cup of hot chocolate, and pass them the potato chips. That's what they need in the moment.
However, if someone senses or knows about themselves (or is frequently told by other people) that they need to improve their grounding, eating chocolate won't help them. Even if it's yummy, organic fair trade dark chocolate. Even if it's raw chocolate (ok. Raw chocolate will help slightly. But only slightly.). What such a person needs is help in shifting their relationship to the earth and their body, and support in healing and integrating what comes up when that energetic relationship changes.
As well as an energetic state, groundedness/ungroundedness (actually it's more of an endless continuum, as there is no absolute 'grounded' or 'ungrounded' state) is a state of mind, a life philosophy. It can say either "I'm here! I'm alive! I love life, I love nature, I love my body! I love humanity, warts and all! I am safe, I'm present." or it can say "Can I be a spirit again please?"
… Is this enough to give you a taste of what grounding is and means?
Read the next page- why is grounding important?

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We are new to H. Clarke Powers this year and have been nothing but impressed since our very first interaction with the Principal, Glenn Lockwood. We were warmly welcomed from the minute we walked in. Mr. Lockwood stopped what he was doing and sat down with us to get to know our children. Mr. Lockwood is more involved and hands on than any Principal we have ever encountered before, and we have been to public, charter and private schools. The teachers are excellent and highly qualified, caring, knowledgeable and communicative. This school offers extracurricular activities and sports that past private schools we have attended did not offer. P.E. is offered three times a week for all grades as well as music class once a week for all grades. My kids are thriving and getting involved and trying new things they never have before. This school has an amazing garden tended to by garden docents and regular farmers markets. We have an incredible PTO and a very involved parent body. H. Clarke Powers is hands down the best public school around with undoubtedly the most amazing principal, teachers and office staff. We feel very blessed to be a part of this school. :-)
My granddaughter goes there and she is a 4.0 student. It is a great school. She is very well rounded and very bright. It keeps her challenged.
Parent participation is phenomenal. From my daughter's class parents alone we have one mother who started a class garden program and school farmer's market, one who heard about cuts to PE and is starting a fundraiser to save the program (the PE teacher, btw is the most amazing I've come across), one mother who started a school-wide clothes swap, and another who is organizing beauticians to start a hair-cutting fundraiser. We're so thrilled to be a part.
Great teachers, great facility, great parent participation, overall working hard to provide a great education in very tough times. Whole school system from Principle to Janitors working to provide great education and environment for the kids and families. Very interactive with all entities.
Grandchildren getting the greatest one on one training with love and understanding. Making learning fun
The principal and teachers care about the students. you can tell the impact he principal has on the students by the reactions i see when they see him. I know my child adores him, he is active and involved in everything that goes on in that school
H. Clarke Powers is an amazing school with an amazing staff. It is a private school feel in a public school.
H. Clarke Powers is a fabulous elementary school. Teachers, principal and staff are focused on the education, growth, health and happiness of each student. Respect and caring is nurtured among the students. There is tremendous parent involvement and collaboration with the teachers. Students have the opportunity for sports, art, performing arts, community volunteerism and other activities that help make a well-rounded person. There is tremendous pride in everyone affiliated with the school. Kids respect each other, the teachers and the campus. Our children are very happy and thriving.
We love this school! The teachers are wonderful and the principal Mr.Lockwood is very involved,has a big heart, and is an excellent leader! We are so fortunate to live in a small town with such a great school! OUR KIDS LOVE THE SCHOOL TOO!
My son was a part of the very first class of H. Clarke Powers. It was a wonderful experience for him and for my wife and I. Glenn Lockwood is the best Principal in Placer County....I have no idea what 'submitted by a parent' is talking about.
Everything about this school is great, except that the principal is terrible.I would not reccomend H. Clarke Powers
We moved to Loomis 1 year ago. My child (as a new student) was welcomed with open arms from teachers, principal, office personell, students and parents. The Principal is very involved and caring. The parents are great and very involved and the students are the best behaved students I have every seen. The leadership at this school is outstanding.
Principal knocked our socks off when he spent an hour of his time to give us a personal tour of his school. School is new and in beautiful rural yet convenient setting. Kindergarten teacher is top-notch. I don't sense the 'clique' issues parents often complain about at other schools. Quality of education is outstanding.
Principal & Teachers are fantastic! Very involved with the children and school programs. We have been very happy at H. Clarke Powers.
Principal is very involved in all aspects of this school. Quality teachers throughout each grade level. Parent participation lacking slightly.

How to deal with registration
Hi again,
While I am here, I wanted to ask someone what the best way to set up registration for BuddyPress is. In other words, where should I put the registration link? I have seen lots of people that use a widget in the sidebar, or also a nice little link up at the top of the page.
What is the BEST way to show the Registration link in your professional opinions…which by the way are always VERY helpful! You guys really do have a great support forum and I really do appreciate all the great help!
Happy Sunday All!

Anke Van Dermeersch, a Belgian senator for the far-right Vlaams Belang party, arrives at court on Friday to hear a preliminary injunction brought by French shoe designer Christian Louboutin against an advertising campaign by her party. Mr Louboutin asked the court in Antwerp to stop the campaign for the Flemish group "Women against Islamisation" using his iconic stilettos for a poster denouncing Islam. The poster shows the bare legs of former Miss Belgium Ms Van Dermeersch wearing signature red-soled Louboutins as she lifts up a black dress. Read more

The attack on the consulate in Benghazi had nothing to do with any movie; it was a coordinated attack by al-Qaeda.
Statements such as "I just don't understand why it's so hard for
to fathom that Muslims hold god, and Mohammed in such high esteem.
It's a foreign thing for
" demonstate the same kind of xenophobic mentality you claim to be superior to, sinice you've "lived abroad half of my life".
who would attempt to describe the citizens of this country as one similar monobloc doesn't know very much about our populace.
I am offended by the statement "As for the whole freedom of speech thing
That's just BS
I'm not saying I don't believe in freedom of speech, I do
But ". Always a but with someone who really
believe in free speech.
I agree that the concept of free speech is difficult, and a slippery slope. I'm thankful we have a Constitution and a legal system to define it for our citizens, instead of your definition. I am offended quite frequently with things I read and hear, but being offended is part of free speech sometimes. I have no desire for the European definition of "free speech", which seems to be whatever the government will allow, and what is politically correct.
Here's an example of how free speech works in the United States: remember the uproar over the comments by the president of Chick-fil-a regarding gay marriage? At least it was an uproar by some who were offended. The gay/lesbian community organized a kiss in at the restaurants. Meanwhile, those who supported the president's right to say whatever he said organized a support day on a Wednesday, and encouraged supporters to buy meals at Chick fil A that day.
Both groups conducted their days, and guess what? Not a single violent protest by any gay/lesbian group, nor by any group of Chick-fil-A supporters. And when the dust had cleared, the company said it would stay out of the politcal arena, and reiterated its support for all customers in its communities.
, my friend, is how free speech works.

I'm seriusly about to wet my pant
Mike… If u dont know, u should nit be trading dummy. Cancel all but one fool
Starts when specialiat is ready and his book balances. If u didnt know that, get outta the market now.,a fool and his money…..
I hate the fact that Facebook has such an influence on our lives but I can't resist the chance to make some easy money. We live in a world of fools.
News out is the IPO won't be available until 1100 est
Much more important things than fb. God. We gave sunk loooow. Wall street waiting? Lol. No only connected in the ipo are waiting. The already rich.
I say it will hit at 52…. Just raised my limit order.
Any thoughts on what a good "Limit" price would be to go with?
60 to be safe. There is way to much interest in the stock it will drive the price. If 1% of the people on facebook tried to buy shares there would be enough. Good chance you won't get in.
$41? only $3 over the IPO price no way, closer to $100 for sure
When does the trade open for FB?
Can't wait…this is my first ipo trade. Gonna be an interesting day! Good luck guys 3 more min…
Let's see. There are 900 million FB users and the company is going to be valued at $104 billion. That means that means that each of us is worth $115.
That is much more than when we total the monetary value of the elements in our bodies and the value of the average person's skin, we arrive at a net worth of $4.50!
When exactly is this stock available in secondary market???
What would happen to face book value if the INTERNET was disrupted by solar flares or by the hackers that are currently being intercepted by the army of face book hooded employees that are working round the clock while the IPO is introduced today. Perhaps next week they will succeed in bringing Face book down and the Billions of dollars of worth is then worth how much???
Looks like 2000 is back!
I agree, lets GOOO
still waiting!!! come on now nasdaq!!
pigs get slaughtered
unless ur a day trader don't waste your time making them RICH!!!
When can I buy September PUTS? I think $20 will be a safe bet to make money! LOL
Really feel like I am witnessing history here…
What range is best price to go for FB share.
what is the point in saying it will start at 11 AM and then not starting it?
Opens @ 43.50
goes up to 47.25 and closes at 41.00
Pretty annoying, way to go Zuck- get a move on it, humans have short attention spans.
Everybody pulling their money to buy the hype.
Sell your FB shares and buy AAPL
too many sell orders to start
I would imagine at 11:01 we could have considered it late.
100 BILLION Value? Worth more than McDonalds? 900 million "users" that don't pay the company a dime for its' services? only in America….
I just want my order to cancel…the news surrounding Nokia is tons better than FB!
I'm going to throw up
Are you kidding me FB?
delayed to 11:15, which is now
i'd pay $50
It's getting too late for the USA economy if this is our new infrastructue base!
Nothing, basically it's intrinsic value.
I have a limit order for 5000 sh. @ $44
What is going on? Someone needs to say something to the waiting throngs.
Are they just holding off to build up more sell orders to prevent a 600% pop?
My apps are showing "quote 20 min delayed".
This is like watching two trains without brakes approaching each other.
preparation is key here….
For a change, I would like to see today as a GOOD FRIDAY!!! THINK POSITIVE!
Opens @ 42.75
What is Dark Pool trading? Please shed some light on this. It sounds like back-room dealing.
Cmon let's get this thing rolling they don't have to start a reactor to start this thing. Just press the button.
Delays like this hurt the opening and the market.
I put in a Stop at 40 and Limit at 44. We'll see.
I'm shorting it after all the hoopla is over
Waiting gets an UNLIKE
FB will be a better bargain in the weeks and months ahead as short sellers depress its share price.
How do I buy a share?!!!
April fools :)
Heard the eurounion just offered to trade Greece for a million shares of fb and all the gyros Zuckerberg can eat. How much does he like gyros?
@Houston Gary G: Possibly, but Google did not come down to its opening price.
How come I can't "like" and comments here? And I want to add some friends but can't!
What crap he is talking about? bad S/W Engineer makes $100 an hour and good one makes $200 per hour..Where he lives? Damn
say whats
Much to do about nothing, really.
someone update the facebook status to trading please!!!!!!
what does that mean
I guess I'll go play Words with Friends
This can only end with an unprecedented destruction of capital.
this kid speaking is annoying…
What is really going on. Will the trading price go straight down
NASDAQ's Facebook Status Update: Delayed!
At what time?
I am going back to bed. i am in Desert Mountain, in Arizona. i have a load of the stock at 38. When i finally wake up, it will either be up or down.
I just got a call from one of my partners on the floor that said Zuckerburg just took his shirt off and slapped his chest!
Open at $42.21
wow — They planed this well
I agree with the marketing experts that their marketing product is ineffective. As a small advertiser with them I saw first hand how useless "Page Likes" are related to acutual beneficial action from a user. A message posted on our company wall page was getting 30 views per 1000 fans. Of those 30 less than one would engage. Another flaw is that FB allows a "like" directly from the AD without directing that user to the "page" landing page.. So you pay for likes that don't get your core message.
Granted all these things can be changed and maybe revenue will come from someplace other than advertising in the future. But Zuckerberg is trying to build a platform layer over the HTTP layer built on the TCIP base layer of the Internet. That being said is owning a layer with most of the world using it worth anything? The only people making money on a base layer are the Internet service providers providing access. The more functionality the more Verizon, ATT and the owners of the fiber optic lines make. I think after the hype dies off Zuckerbergs shares will be worth what FB is really worth.
Amazing moment… historic, exciting, breathtaking.
Tensions are high…
Traders having technical issues on the floor
definitely going back to bed
This is no longer fashionably late. Now it's just irritating.
A private securities exchange or trading platform. Dark liquidity pools do not publish the prices of their transactions, which allows investors to make larger transactions at lower cost than they might otherwise. Most traders in dark liquidity pools are institutional investors, such as mutual funds or hedge funds, that wish to protect the anonymity of their investments and/or investors. They also may not wish to cause price movements by the disclosure of their transactions. No dark liquidity pool is completely secretive: they must register with the SEC as either a securities exchange or a broker-dealer; they are governed by Regulation ATS, which stipulates certain transactions and prices that they must disclose under various circumstances.
FB……………it will be $ 43……..
None of those are social media companies….
And we're off…
WOO HOO! It's live quoting now!
These reportes are stupid. "Its a black eye for Facebook; It's a black eye for NASDAQ." Bla, bla, bla… With journalism going down the crapper, the financial reporters were the last ones I had faith in. But these guys… PLEASE. This is just a waste of my time, and I am turning it off as soon as I post this message.
And down it goes…
I guess they waited for a few too many sell orders..
Facebook debut DELAYED???? A BAD OMEN. BETTER CHECK THIS OUT AND BE CAREFUL. FB is feeling down???
Down down down!!! Hahahahahahahah
Enjoy your losses!
Will Facebook become Facebroke?
Well it didn't take off like most of us hoped for … I was thinking hold for a few hours NOT a few minutes.
It's still early. I bet there are a lot of orders sitting at $38-$40, or a bunch of stop-limits
FB is only worth $25…the original estimate…dump now.
I just pooped a squirrel
What did I tell you…$39.75 and dropping! C'mon $25!!!
What did people think was going to happen to a company that had a market cap of over $100 billion, a miniscule fraction of that as revenue, and virtually no assets? Did people rally think it's market cap would pop to $200+ billion?
a suckers bet
a suckers bet……
How can it go from 40.02 to 40.36 in one second???
oh boy!!! is this going to take off anytime soon or what?
ZNGA, GROUPON, LINKEDIN are all suffering deep loses
Oh Yeah! $38.00 and droooooooooooooppppppppppppping!!!! C'mon $25!!!!!!!!!
Did they just halt trading?
Facebook is falling apart. It's down to its IPO price at $38!
its computerized can't beat a computer dude……
$19 is my projection by the end of the day…
That sure was fast! $38.00!
Houston, we have a problem.
Bummer, bought at $40, thought I got a good deal
Where's the pop, indeed. Someone told me that Facebook has been like Angelina Jolie coming into a bar — all the attention diverted from every other woman to her. Hence the sell-off in other stocks as fund managers and individual investors stopped talking to the other women and lined up to meet Angelina.
Now that Angelina's talking to a few guys, the initial excitement is wearing off. The bar is calming down. And other women are getting some attention. Might be a good time to "pick up" another stock.
not surprised …. markets are nervous and FB isn't floated in a different universe ….. sorry to say but none is looking at long term potentials here ….. only safe long-lasting cash flows can hedge market downturns
Once this drops past the $38 barrier, it's going to drop so fast, they will probably halt trading
Could be explained by people selling to use cash to by Facebook.
Does this mean they priced it too high initially? Greed?
over 204 millions traded. I am still trying to buy but td has technical issues
Hey Eddie…you a broker? Hey Tank….FB is Tanking!
oh well
Ditto…Tech problems…I'm thinking server overload
Some fool paid $43.10 ? Already down $5 ….nice trade…what idiots.
Starting to claw its way back up.
You guys are silly, when it was down, you criticized FB IPO for being a failure, now it's going up again, you're changing your tune.
With a such a high P/E ratio – it is hard to get investor confidence. There is nothing emotional that will happen at this point. Still have a lot to see and follow. Interesting times.
Indeed, back up. Modified my order, hoping it took.
Pushing 40!
It's already a failure Brian, now it's just a matter of how much, no way FB is worth anywhere close to $40/share, all the idiots will run out of money soon, and this thing is gonna tank.
It would do better if they have a better exc. board.
Got in at 38.65 of 500 shares. Looks like stabilizing. hope it goes up
Google's P/E was well over 100 when it debuted. Everyone seems to forget that. Profitability increased over time after Google went public.
Pump and dump!
Well done, anonymous. It's over 40 now.
I think when they changed the conditions to allow a billion shares, ( did I read that right?) to hit the market in 91 days vs. the standard 180, that was a real negative for your average investor. ( Like me)
I was upset this morning when Schwab only allotted me 100 shares, now I am feeling relived.
I'll consider buying at $5 a share
got in at 38.65 of 1000 shares.. looks like its heading north.
What's up with Scottrade order status? Do they not update these things until the end of the day?
Your nuts if you by this rollercoaster, wait tell you hear from the fly on the wall.
Wow, just spiked to 40 1/2
Totally agree with you RPG!
the facebook member numbers are a joke. it's run by games. active gamers need multiple accounts inorder to get the bonuses for their primary. some have 100′s.
there's no product here, just advertsing. if the ecconomy is good they can sell advertising. but even these will soon figure out their exposure is much lower then expected.
Another strength of FB: dominance. This is a Buffet-esqe quality. The Wizard looks for companies that are ever-present brands, icons of culture. FB defined social media and is here to stay.
RPG, dominance in WHAT? They don't make or sell anything, it's all ad dollars of questionable return.
Not true, CommonSense. Just like Google, they sell advertising. Those are real dollars, my friend. And real profit, not like all the dot-com boom and busts in the late 90′s.
When fb dips to 36 buy buy buy
It just shows "the markets ups the markets down. Its that way everyday.
Let's see how that profit model holds up when they have to answer to shareholders. Because companies know that the clickthrough rate on Facebook ads is atrocious.
Obviously, there's some uncertainty about the future of the advertising revenue, and no one can predict the future. But most likely FB will have the cash on hand to adapt to changing markets. It all comes down to whether advertisers are willing to pay, and when your potential audience is a billion-plus customers, most advertisers want to play.
Actually, I think it comes down to whether Facebook intends to monetize their services, especially for mobile users, and whether the millions of FB addicts are addicted enough to fork over a fee for what was free, since they can't break their mind and life away from it.
Right now, those who are still awaiting confirms of trades have no idea what price we received! obviously within the range it's been trading. Apparently NASDAQ isn't sending back confirmations of trades. Perplexing.
Looks like 41 is imminent. All those aftermarket shares from the investment firms are getting snatched up.
Yeah, Paul. I'm the same boat. A little frustrating. I only can assume that my original order was fulfilled, since the opening price was within my Stop-Limit. Yet Scottrade let me modify my order, but says the modification is still pending. Sucks to be on the consumer end of things.
In honor of Facebook IPO, I'm blocking all my ads on Facebook, and deleted all my personal information, lol
Yeah, Paul. I can only assume that my original order was fulfilled, since the opening price was within my Stop-Limit range. Yet Scottrade let me modify my order after 1/2 hour, which it says is still pending. So maybe orders got back-logged. Frustrating to be on the consumer end of things.
@CommonSense: not if FB can secure advertising revenue on Mobile. Just b/c they haven't figured this out yet doesn't mean they won't.
@Paul: I hear you. Kind of stinks to be on the consumer end of things. Scottrade let me modify my order, but my original Stop-Limit included the opening price, so do I assume my original order was fulfilled?
FB irrational exuberance !
Probably a wise thing to do no matter what, Enlightened. I prefer max security settings on my FB.
I say calculated exuberance.
I'd watch that!
Well of course the volume is huge. GS alone accounts for what 28M shares?
For all the newbies watching profits come and go on the 1 second tickers. Go to lunch before you have a nervous breakdown. If you have a limit order in for less than 100 shares, don't be surprised if it does not get filled today. 100 blocks are the minimum size. The market makers want volume, volume, volume.
Rules for trading…
Rule #1: Protect your assets
Rule #2: Don't fall in love with a stock.
Rule #3: Make a plan, work the plan, do not deviate from the plan. The market does not have emotions. Do not trade on them.
Rule #4: You do not "play the stock market", you work it. It is a profession. Unless you have the time to treat it as a full time job, you will most likely lose.
Good luck to all.
Ok, so it hasn't tanked. Hopefully this will be enough to ease the fears of more timid investors, and they will be more comfortable jumping in.
Will this be known as the "Facebook Fizzle"?
You mis-spelled "hear"
More on NASDAQ's clogged system. CNBC reports that traders were complaining that they were placing orders the trading got started, but they were not confirmation messages from NASDAQ. Since they couldn't confirm that all their positions, many of them felt they had to back off and stop trading. That sacle back contributed to the brief dip back down to 38, but fortunately the underwriting banks stepped into stabilize the price
Excuse me, I meant "setback", not sacle back.
looks like more than half the outstanding shares have traded hands so far.
read some articles that say "someone"(underwriters/Zuckerberg) stepped up to support the price at $38. Makes sense; otherwise it would have been very embarssing to have it fall below opening IPO in the first 30 minutes.
I believe Monday will be a different day. It will be explained to all institutional shareholders by the underwriters of this IPO that they will no longer get support after this trading day is over. The big Hedge Funds will get a hold of as much float they can to start the big short move next week or two. I suspect most of the insiders would have sold the majority of their shares over $41-42. Would be interesting to read the insider reports.
Amazon had revenue of $50 Billion in Revenue in 2011. Current forecasts to reach $100 Billion annually in 2015.
Facebook has revenue of about $5 Billion in 2011. Projected to be the same in 2012.
Currently Facebook has a market cap that is $20 Billion higher than Amazon. Strange world. Really should be a $5 dollar stock when people wake up.
@Enlightened: My thoughts exactly!
NASDAQ totally dropped the ball on this… All that delay lead to what else, fear from nervous investors. We'd be at $50 right now if they had thier game straight.
Possible law suit against NASDAQ or brokers for not post trades?
I'm sure things will settle down soon enough because you can't play yoyo all the time.
Hear, not here. "Now, we want to here from you!"
at the end of the day near closing, it was quite a sight… (on interactive brokers platform)
Bid volume was near 20,000,000 (orders to buy) at 38 (IPO price). (Normal bid/ask volume for a stock is in 10,000s high side).
Anyways, the 20M just kept coming down and down and down until about 4,000,000 (somebody(s) were selling as much as they could 16M+),
until someone(s) saw that the 38 price needed to be protected and started buying in the last minutes to give illusion of demand
(otherewise, if 38 broke, the stock could dive).
my best guess with that observation is that next week, the 38 will be broken and will go lower.
how much? don't know.
Snapback hats are welcomed by people of all ages, ranging from little children to the elders. We can see all kinds of colors and styles of snapback hats on the street, like black hats, red hats and so on.
It is remarkable, rather valuable answer
P.S. Please review our icons for Windows and windows14icons.
I have noticed that credit restoration activity must be conducted with techniques. If not, you may obtain yourself endangering your rank. In order to realize your aspirations in fixing your credit rating it's important to confirm that from this moment in time you pay all of the monthly dues promptly in advance of their planned date. It is significant on the grounds that by not accomplishing that, all other steps that you will decide to try to improve your credit positioning will not be effective. Many thanks for expressing your ideas.
I really have enjoyed the article, but your website is pretty broken in Google Chrome. What theme are you using?

Situated close to the breath-taking Parque Nacional Picos de Europa, in the Cantabria region, in northern Spain, is the delightful town of Pesaguero. Many people opt for a Pesaguero holiday each year due to the fact that the town is perfectly situated for accessing the national park, as well as a huge variety of activities and attractions that the region has to offer. Not only will a Pesaguero holiday rental apartment offer spectacular countryside views, it will come complete with all of the comforts you need to have a truly relaxing stay.
Although the emphasis of a Pesaguero holiday is to simply relax and take in the stunning scenery, there are a myriad activities available in the surrounding area for those who want a bit of action. Amongst the activities available for visitors to enjoy are swimming, hiking, mountaineering, mountain biking, bird watching, paragliding, horse riding, fishing, walking and cycling. Visitors will also be impressed with San Pedro Church in the town which has a very old chapel and is awash with Romanesque architecture.
Should you decide to venture further afield on your Pesaguero holiday then it is worth heading for the Altamira Cave, close to the town of Santillana del Mar, on the northern coastline of Cantabria. The cave is a particular draw for visitors to this part of Spain and is filled with Prehistoric drawings of animals and humans. There are limited spaces to visit the actual cave to try and protect the drawings but visitors can see an almost identical replica of the cave in the museum at the site.
By booking a Pesaguero holiday rental apartment, you are guaranteed to be privy to some amazing weather. Most travellers head for the area during the summer months as it is usually fairly warm, with maximum daytime temperatures of around 23 degrees Celsius. If you prefer milder weather, then it is best to book a Pesaguero holiday for the winter months when the temperature drops to between 8 and 13 degrees Celsius. The annual rainfall amount for the town is approximately 29 inches.
Jetting off on a Pesaguero holiday is simple to do and travellers are most likely to arrive at Santander Airport (SDR) which is approximately 73 miles away from the town. Airlines that can offer affordable deals on flights to Santander include Ryanair, British Airways, Iberia Airlines and KLM. Passengers can depart the UK from numerous airports including Heathrow (LHR), Manchester (MAN), Gatwick (LGW), Glasgow (GLA) and Newcastle(NCL). There is also a regular ferry service between Plymouth and Santander with Brittany Ferries.

Hands-on with the HTC One X and One S
Summary: HTC announced their new 2012 lineup at Mobile World Congress with a focus on the One series. The One X and One S arrived for me to check out for a bit and all I can say is that I can't wait for the HTC One S to launch on T-Mobile USA.
3 of 29Image
As you can see the One S is narrower than the One X.
There are two color schemes for the HTC One S and as you can see back of this model has a slick gray shading effect. It feels wonderful in the hand with the metal back and solid form factor.
The HTC One S has an 8 megapixel camera with a colorful blue ring around the lens. The flash is to the right of the camera lens.

Yumm! I didn't have mint on hand and used ground turkey instead of beef. The sauce is very yummy and I will definitely make these again!
Beef, Mint, and Pepperoncini Burgers with Lemon-Feta Sauce
This large, heaping burger might best be eaten with a knife and fork. The heat, tang, and crunch of pepperoncini peppers are welcome additions to the herb-filled burger. Look for jars of the peppers in the grocery store's pickle aisle. The creamy sauce tames the heat of the pepper.

- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
- 1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

- Burgers:

- 1 pound ground round
- Cooking spray
- 5 (2-ounce) Kaiser rolls or hamburger buns
- To prepare relish, combine tomatoes, 1 tablespoon mint, and 1 tablespoon juice; cover and chill until ready to serve.
- To prepare sauce, place feta cheese and next 4 ingredients (through garlic) in a food processor, and process 2 minutes or until smooth, scraping sides. Cover and chill.
- Prepare grill or broiler.
- To prepare burgers, combine 1/2 cup mint and next 6 ingredients (through beef). Divide mixture into 5 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Place patties on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray; cook 5 minutes on each side or until done. Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun; top with 1/4 cup relish. Drizzle each serving with about 2 tablespoons sauce; top with top halves of buns. Serve immediately.
- Wine note: The sauce of lemon, feta cheese, and yogurt on this tasty burger adds a salty, tangy flavor that can make many red wines taste flat and dull. So opt for a fresh, clean, dry white wine instead (whoever said white wines don't go with red meat?). My favorite choice: a snappy pinot grigio, served well chilled. The 2003 Zenato Pinot Grigio from Veneto, Italy, is an affordable choice at about $10. -Karen MacNeil

Kolkata: A Kolkata court on Friday declared nine suspected Naxals as political prisoners. The nine men had been arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with an illegal arms manufacturing case and were said to have been involved in the Lalgarh uprising.
The West Bengal High Court had in August granted the nine the political prisoner status.
As per the West Bengal Correctional Services Act, political prisoners are entitled to separate jail cells, access to reading material and allowed meetings with relatives and advocates.
The NIA is likely to challenge the court order.

Should have bought Large

Comments about Canari Gran Prix Shorts:
They are bigger than I would have liked But for price they will do for weekly rides. The other reviews did help in making size choice. The are loose on my waist and behind. My waist size is 36. I am okay with size for the price. They will be great for what I bought them for. I only wish they had a waist Draw string.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very Nice Shorts
By rbinhood
from Eagle River, WI
About Me Avid Cyclist
These shorts fit very nicely, breath well, dry quickly, and are padded just right without chafing. Have not noticed any problem with odor despite multiple uses between washings.
Get at least one size smaller
By Tom Espressoman
from NYC Metro
These are 1-1.5 sizes too large. I ordered XL, which are too wide and long in the legs. A recently ordered 2nd pair in L was right on. Other than that, the quality is in the range of +$50 shorts. The padding is right in thickness and size and not stiff at all, so there is no diaper look or feeling. The rubber lining of the leg holes is also of higher quality. I felt very comfortable during the 100+ miles I rode in them.Strangely, there are two logos on the right leg, one on the left (see images). While I am no Canari expert, it looks as if the 2nd logo is an accident. So, these might very well be factory 2nds, which might explain the price. Unless you are a 'preppy and fashionable rider' who cannot live with the 2nd logo in the inner lower thigh region, I only can recommend them for this price.

Better than I first thought
By skcyclist
from carpinteria, ca.
They aren't as supportive as other shorts and the padding is minimal, but after wearing them a couple of times, I got to like them quite a bit. There's no draw string, but that's OK too for me. I'm 5-9, 145 # 32 inch waist and medium is just right. I do pull the shorts higher and make adjustment from time to time to keep everything arranged.. but it's fine. A great deal for $20. I like Navy color very much. Goes with red, black, and white very well.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Nice item for price. Name brand quality!
By Richard the California Cyclist
from Pico Rivera, CA
Nice quality for the price. As expected. Compared to other shorts I own, including a pair of Canari, the quality is a good value for the money.
Lightweight and Good Value
By Bikerphil
from Tucson, AZ
About Me Competitive Cyclist
I bought the medium size which fits like a large in most other brands so they do run a bit big but fit me just fine. I'm 6'2" and 165 lbs with a 31 inch waist. This size would still be OK for someone 10 or 15 lbs heavier. Well made and very lightweight.
Better than expected
By Tommy Long Arms
from Assateague Island, MD
The description falls short of all the qualities of this product. I found the XL purchased was larger and more comfortable than expected, The same color padding as the pant color also added to the quality of this product.
There was a problem adding this item to your cart.

Williamsburg author Larissa Ione writes her romance books at home. (Adrin Snider, Daily Press / February 22, 2008)
Two weeks later, Bantam Dell made an offer for not only that book, but two more. The book is now on the shelves, titled Riding The Storm, by Sydney Croft, and is the first in a series of erotic paranormal novels with a superhero twist.
At around the same time as that sale took place, I sold my first novella to Red Sage, and suddenly, I had achieved goals I'd had in place since I was a child. In a fun twist of fate, Stephanie also sold her first individual novel to Harlequin just days after my sale.
To date, I have four books on the shelves, two Red Sage anthologies under my own name, and two Sydney Croft novels, as well as one ebook with Samhain. Three more books will be out this year under both my name and Sydney Croft, and I'm under contract for five more books with Bantam Dell and Grand Central Publishing.
What's the good, the bad and the ugly about writing? What's rewarding and not-so-rewarding?
The good is that I can work in my pajamas! I can set my own schedule, and I can send my son off to school and then be home for him afterward. I truly love what I do. It's a dream come true. In the interest of full disclosure, however, I'm only able to do this because my husband's job provides the majority of our income. There is no way we'd survive on a writer's salary, especially since we're still making payments on the destroyed house in Mississippi.
The bad? It can be stressful. Deadlines and editorial revisions can have you pulling your hair out. But I think the very worst part of writing is dealing with nasty reviews. Honest, insightful criticism is one thing, but right now there seems to be a trend toward snarky, vicious reviews, and those can mess with a writer's confidence. I've learned to avoid reading reviews about my work and instead concentrate on the readers who take the time to write to me about my books. It's so rewarding to know that you made someone laugh or cry, and that you gave them a few hours of relief from real life.
Do you get writer's block and how do you deal with it?
I've been very lucky in that I have never really suffered from writer's block. I've had moments where I can't move forward in a story, but I've found that coming to a grinding halt in a story is the result of not knowing my characters well enough. Going back through the story to beef up the characters usually helps me move through any blockage.
Who are your favorite authors and why?
Sharon Kay Penman takes first place. Her historical fiction is amazingly well-written, her characters well-drawn and sympathetic, and the plots complex.
Robert Jordan is right up there with Penman. His Wheel of Time series drew me in incredible world-building. He was a master of description and a genius when it comes to weaving plots together. I will miss him.
Susan Elizabeth Phillips is one of my favorite romance authors. She has an incredible way with characters, and is one of the few authors who has actually made me cry.
Where and when do you write best and why?
I write the best at home so many of my friends write at Starbucks or at libraries or at the park, but I need to be home in my office or on the couch with my laptop. I'm a creature of habit, and throwing off my routine tends to mess with my creativity.
My best hours vary. On some days I can whip out several pages straight away in the morning, and other times it takes all day to warm up, and on those days, I'll stay up until one in the morning if I finally hit my stride in the evening.
How has your writing changed over the years?
Oh, wow. It has really changed. When I first started writing, I knew my voice. Why? Because I didn't have anyone telling me how I should write. I didn't conform to any specific genre or any specific "rules." I wrote what I wanted to write. So the voice was there, but the skill wasn't.
Later, when I started learning more about writing and the rules specific to each genre, I started tailoring my writing to the genre/publisher. My writing got better, but what I was writing wasn't me.
It wasn't until after the hurricane, when I had nothing left to lose, that I let my voice fly. When Stephanie and I were writing that first Sydney Croft novel, I threw caution to the wind and wrote what I wanted to write, how I wanted to write it. Our editor later said that although the book needed revisions, she bought it because of the voice.
