Orpheum Theater
116 N. Sixth Street,
2 people favorited this theater
This theater was the last operating movie houses in downtown Waco until it closed in late-1978 and was demolished two years later.
The theater had 500 seats in the orchestra and 50 seats on either side of its divided balcony (the division was due to the location of the projection booth).

I was in the army at nearby Fort Hood, Texas. In 1955 I was Giant at the Waco Theatre starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean.
When was this theatre built?
What other uses did it have other than movies?
i worked here all my high school years, i sure love it .mr mitchell was a very good friend, , there was jerry merritt, martha and judy, neil, mr mitchell would take me home at night cause i had a curfeww at the methodist home ,he would always let me take a bag of popcorn home to the girls ,at my dorm, he was a very nice man, i learned alot form working out side of the home , almost all the old downtowns are gone ,, sadden by this.i still kept in touch with me mitchell for years,then i moved away.from 1968 to 78
I worked there in 64 and 65. JC Mitchell had an office upstairs and one in the back of the theater also. He spent a lot of time there. Back then the Mitchel Brothers also ran the Imperial on Waco Drive and built a new Drive in where Richland Mall is now. I worked for the construction company building the drive in and at night at the Orpheum. Worked with Debbie, Sharon, Reen, Phil, Niel and Jimmy. Jimmy and I once met some girls who were at a future nurses convention or something and we invited them all to the Imperial. We took a roll of tickets and handed them out and as I recall we had about 50 of them show up, we appropriated some free pop corn and joined the ladies for an almost private showing, since there wasn't a paying customer in the place! Lots of fun memories! I went off to school, to VN and when I returned I would drive by from time to time and then one day it was gone… not just closed but gone! Plenty of good memories, thanks for lettine me share them.
I was the manager of the Orpheum in the mid 70's. I was the projectionist when the riot broke out. Mitchell Theaters had turned the theater into a one that showed primarily "black" movies (yes, there really was such a thing back then). Anyway it was premier night for a really big one called "Monkey Hustle". Well the turn out was incredible and the manager at the time "Clint B." just kept selling tickets. There were over 800 tickets sold and we had patrons in the lobby, on the stairs, on the balcony rails, everywhere. So the patrons who couldn't see the movie started getting a little (understandably) upset. One thing led to another, a fight broke out in the theater then spread to the lobby. Eventually, police and fire department units showed up from everywhere around Waco, even as far away as Temple!!
When the smoke cleared, the manager was in deep trouble, not only because of the over selling of seats, but because he claimed that somehow the cash taken in, which was in a canvas bank bag, had mysteriously gone missing. Like in all of the confusion someone had laid their hands on it and "poof" no more money. I and the General Manager and Jim Mitchell were not fooled by this and the manager was fired. Welcome ME to the new managers job.
P.S. If any of you Orpheum Theatre guys and gals are on facebook, I am . Also Paul Kneipp but I had a previous account that I no longer use under that name and well, it's a mess… Hope you can find me. Would love to exchange stories.
The Orpheum officially took over for the Cozy Theatre on August 2, 1915 though had been running under the moniker earlier in the summer. The Cozy Theatre had moved into the space that was formerly the original Hippodrome on March 31, 1913. The Cozy had been operating at 604 Austin only since January of 1912 but when the Hippodrome moved in June of 1912 to the former Imperial, the Cozy went from Cozy sized to larger. (The Hippodrome would construct a new builld theater launching in 1913 and surviving past its 100th anniversary.) The Orpheum Theater's incredible run is to 1978. In 1983, the theater was demolished.

Theatre professionals—artists and company members—experience unforeseen personal emergencies like everyone else. But unlike many others, professionals in the arts rarely earn wages that are commensurate with their contributions to the vitality and richness of our community.

This Song Belongs to You and Me
EFF has just announced that the JibJab suit has been settled. The resolution was a complete victory for JibJab, which will be entitled to continue distributing the "This Land" animation without further interference from Ludlow.
Two things made this outcome possible. First, JibJab's fantastic animation is a clear case of fair use, for the reasons described in detail in our earlier letter to Ludlow's attorney.
But also important was our other discovery: "This Land Is Your Land" has been in the public domain since 1973.
Fact #1: Guthrie wrote the song in 1940. At that time, the term of copyright was 28 years, renewable once for an additional 28 years. Under the relevant law, the copyright term for a song begins when the song is published as sheet music (just performing it is not enough to trigger the clock).
Fact #2: A search of Copyright Office records shows that the copyright wasn't registered until 1956, and Ludlow filed for a renewal in 1984.
Fact #3: Thanks to tips provided by musicologists who heard about this story, we discovered that Guthrie published and sold the sheet music for "This Land Is Your Land" in a pamphlet in 1945. An original copy of this mimeograph was located for us by generous volunteers who visited the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. For those who are not able to visit the Woody Guthrie Manuscript Collection at the American Folklife Archives, we've posted a copy of the document.
This means that the copyright in the song expired in 1973, 28 years after Guthrie published the sheet music. Ludlow's attempted renewal in 1984 was 11 years tardy, which means the classic Guthrie song is in the public domain. (I'll note that Ludlow apparently disputes this, although I've not heard any credible explanation from them.)
Thanks to everyone who expressed support for JibJab and to the many people who helped us to do the research that needed to be done regarding the history of the song.
So Guthrie's original joins the Star-Spangled Banner, Amazing Grace, and Beethoven's Symphonies in the public domain. Come to think of it, now that "This Land Is Your Land" is in the public domain, can we make it our national anthem? That would be the most fitting ending of all.

Here it is, chapter one. You might not like it though, ti is nothing more than a lot of boring info. the last part's cool though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One First, let me explain that I have never had any encounters with the paranormal. My familly has never had any cases of mental illness, and no one I know or have known does or ever did drugs. I don't get drunk, ever. I always like to stay as sober as possible. I tell you this to help you better understand the state of my sanity, as I want no one to think me a crazy lunatic. I think you should also have some knowledge about the house. I live on a farm, and I never thought anything out of the ordinary would happen when I bought it. It is your average country farm with a barn, the main house, and a ton of water troughs. The house itself is a blue that cought even my eye, and I am not a big fan of the color blue. You walk into a kitchen with astonishingly yellow paint. A refrigerator is directly in front of you, with countertops, cuppords and drawers on either side. An oven is on the far left wall, and there is a sink to your right. A door next to the fridge leads you to the living room. In there you find a small coffee table, a steel gray loveseat to your left, a t.v. on your right, and a staircase. Up there ar the bedrooms, bathroom and the closet. I call it the closet because I can't think of anything else to call it. Why would I want to call it anything at all? The closet is probably the most haunted part of my house, and that is where some of my most terrifying experiences with this doppelganger takes place. Last, I would like to explain more thuroughly what a doppelganger is. There are a few legends that say a doppelganger is simply an evil spirit that wants nothing more than to horrify a living being. Others, however suggest something far more sinister. According to these people, and their legends, doppelgangers are the spirits of children born dead who are jealous of the living because they never had a chance at life. They try to take over the life of someone, so that they may have what was taken away from them when they were so young. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ P.S. I am also including in this book a special thank you to ghostplace. I wouldn't know have the stuff I do now about the paranormal without you. Thanks! J-bot99, aka weirdo How many times do I have to tell you we ARE alone in this universe...... I spoke to soon.
It sounds good so far, keep going. Before assuming that everything is paranormal in nature, one has to rule out all other possibilities. Caisteal Folais'n a Theine
J-bot99, I'm not sure if you have read this info, but just in case here it is: Doppelgänger is the German word for a ghostly double of a living person. The word comes from doppel meaning 'double' and gänger translated as 'goer'. The term has, in the vernacular, come to refer to any double of a person, most commonly in reference to a so-called evil twin, or to bilocation. Alternately, the word is used to describe a phenomenon where you catch your own image out of the corner of your eye. In some mythologies, seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death. The Doppelgängers of folklore cast no shadow and no reflection in a mirror or in water. They are supposed to provide advice to the person they shadow, but this advice could be misleading or malicious. They could also, in rare instances, plant ideas in their victim's mind or appear before friends and relatives, causing confusion. Doppelgängers appear in a variety of science fiction and fantasy works, in which they are a type of shapeshifter that mimics a particular person or species for some, typically nefarious, reason. [edit] Famous reports of the Doppelgänger phenomenon Emilie Sagée was a schoolteacher in the nineteenth century whose Doppelgänger's public appearances were recorded by Robert Dale Owen after being reported to him by Julie von Güldenstubbe. Guy de Maupassant recorded his own Doppelgänger experiences in his story Lui. Percy Bysse Shelley claimed to have met his Doppelgänger foreboding his own death. John Donne the English metaphysical poet apparently met his wife's Doppelgänger in Paris, foreboding the death of his yet unborn daughter. [edit] Emilie Sagée Robert Dale Owen was responsible for writing down the singular case of Emilie Sagée. He was told this anecdote by Julie von Güldenstubbe a Latvian aristocrat. Von Güldenstubbe reported that in the year 1845-46, at the age of 13, she witnessed, along with audiences of between 13 and 42 children, her 32 year old French teacher Sagée bilocate, in broad daylight, inside her school (Pensionat von Neuwelcke). The actions of Sagée's Doppelgänger included: Mimicking writing and eating, but with nothing in its hands. Moving independently of Sagée, and remaining motionless while she moved. Appearing to be in full health while Sagée was badly ill. Apparently also, the Doppelgänger exerted resistance to the touch, but was non-physical (two girls passed through the Doppelgänger's body). Before assuming that everything is paranormal in nature, one has to rule out all other possibilities. Caisteal Folais'n a Theine
That is some very interesting information Vampires Fury, thank you. I did not know that seeing a doppelganger was an omen of death. I also did not know about the real doppelganger experiences. Interesting... J-bot99, aka weirdo How many times do I have to tell you we ARE alone in this universe...... I spoke to soon.
Your welcome, J-bot99. Glad to help out. I wasn't sure if you already had that information or not, so I posted it for you. I got it from Wikipedia.com Before assuming that everything is paranormal in nature, one has to rule out all other possibilities. Caisteal Folais'n a Theine

"We expect EOG's three high rate of return oil plays -- the Eagle Ford, Bakken/Three Forks and Delaware Basin -- to provide us with years of drilling inventory as well as significant growth opportunities. These plays just get bigger and better."
That's what EOG Resources (EOG) Chairman Mark Papa said after the company's remarkable quarter, a quarter that re-defines growth in the oil patch as the company raised its growth rate from an already astounding 28% to an amazing 35% -- especially given that this is already a huge oil company.
Plus, the growth could have been greater as EOG's Delaware Basin assets -- part of the recently rediscovered and re-rated Permian Basin -- are being constrained because there's not enough infrastructure to handle the natural gas byproduct of the drilling yet, despite the fact that the Permian's been around forever. It's as if the Delaware is a whole new basin in itself.
EOG's the strongest growth story in oil these days, and it is a reminder that while mutual fund and index money are by nature drawn to Exxon Mobil (XOM), the oil giant is a stagnant, if not wasting, asset. It still gets the benefit of the doubt it had about the worst quarter reported this season, and it still is buying back stock at an incredible pace ($4 billion this last quarter), but the market wants growth in oil just like it does in tech or banking.
That's why EOG remains one of the best independent growth stories to own. Yes, even up here, the story keeps getting bigger and better.
Random Musings: Finisar (FNSR) is a reminder of how carrier spending is off the charts lately after years of desultory commitment. It's amazing what a little competition among carriers will do.

When Isis could no longer be kept by her first family, her world was turned upside down. Not wanting to mope and groan about it for too long, she handled the upheaval with grace and dignity. The uncertainty on her face has turned into a smile that will melt your heart, and hopefully make you want to take her home and let her know that everything's going to be alright.
Isis enjoys attention but is independent and non-demanding. She is playful at times but will not annoy you like those youngster kitties sometimes do. Isis would be fine as a solo pet or perhaps with one other cat. All she wants is someone to love her and commit to being her lifelong partner. Could that be you?
For more information, or to meet this beautiful kitty, call Melissa W. at 512-762-1046.

Played throughout in appalling weather conditions both sides attempted to play running rugby but the greasy conditions make attacking rugby a lottery.
Josh Lewis opened the scoring with a penalty and then two tries from veteran hooker Craig Hawkins and man of the match Rhodri Jones looked as if the floodgates might open for the home team.
However the Wizards showed their consistent Premiership Pedigree and maybe were unlucky only to have three points to their name from a Paul Smithson penalty .
In a similar second half period, Lewis opened the scoring with another fine penalty and talented scrum half Aled Davies touched down, Lewis again converted , in what was a comfortable home win for the hosts.

Wednesday, March 17, 2010
I'm sure for the International readers, they must scoff at this Holiest of Holy days that we celebrate here in the U, S, of A. But we take our wearing of the green quite seriously. So much so, that even my daughters school is closed for the day.
It's a big deal for us. We plan for this day weeks, if not months, in advance. New green garb is chosen and embroidered, laid out and ready to jump into early on the day.
Christmas has traditionally the busiest of all calender holidays for scheduling. Traveling from one house to another to make sure to stop at each relatives open house and wish them good cheer. Overeating and being over served at each stop. Saint Patrick's day of late has challenged that Numero Uno spot. Or Uimhir a Haon. It now starts early in the day with breakfasts of soda bread and green eggs to late in the evening when the last morsel of corned beef has disappeared from the serving platter. Not to mention the Guinness is gone.
The greatest challenge is to pace the beverage and food consumption. Each stop plying you with yet another sandwich, another bowl of stew, another plate of pickled beef. And more drinks to wash it all down with. Go figure.
It's like training for a marathon. An enjoyable marathon, but some years just about as taxing.
Many years ago I remember a Saint Patrick's Day when already having had more than our fill downtown at the parade, we stopped at several watering holes along the way back to our home. We couldn't help it. With their doors open wide to the spring air, the sounds of merriment spilling into the street drawing you in like a moth to flame. Or a horse to water. Or a Irishman to beer. I was a newlywed this particular year complete with a new Irish last name. I met one of my husbands acquaintances who also had the same surname as my newly own.
As you can imagine by this point in the days festivities, everyone was quite jovial. A few more than others. Johnny was (and still is!) a delightful man. He's a gentleman that gives the saying, 'a glint in his eye' meaning. We were having a grand old time, singing along to the band when Johnny leaned in close and told me, "Darlin'...divorce him and marry me. You'll not have to even change the spelling on your drivers license."
He also shared with me that day that being the true Irishman he was, he said, "I may not be big (as in well endowed) so I can't go deep, but I sure can beat the hell out of the sides."
We've been friends ever since.
Anyone that can share intimate details not highlighting their best features, even if they've overindulged on the day o' drink, is alright with me.
Our Saint Patrick's Days lately have been a little more family oriented. But even so, we have a great time. I'll leave the pursuit of being over served to those that don't have the burden of responsibilities like I do. I've learned that I'm grown up enough to know 'when is when'. My head and body just don't bounce back as fast or easily as it used to. And although I'm in denial of nearing middle age, I don't need to add any more stress than I already endure to my aging frame.
I still might tip one or two out of tradition. A friend just dropped off a wonderful smelling soda bread and I'm slicing the corned beef. The Harp is in the fridge and the lilt of Irish music is playing on my speakers. The sun is shining and it's a chilly but gorgeous day up here on the North Coast. The parade was nice, my nap even better and now it's off to the next installment of green day fun.
I raise my glass to you!
...or Cheers in english speak. Happy Saint Patrick's Day, my friends!
And please. No more cabbage for me. I think that hurts me worse than the Guinness.
Footnote: The day was survived with fun had by all! And the pot of gold for me was that I needed no aspirin this morning. Bhi sé go hiontach! (It was great!)

When I was in college, my roommates used to dye our ranch green, our milk green, and anything else dyeable in our fridge. It was very interesting.
And funny, I just saw your "must reads" blogroll and laughed when I glanced at Genius Pending and thought it said Guinness Pudding. Now that would be weird.No school on St. Patty's Day? STOP it! How amazing is that. And necessary. The Irish are responsible for all the love in this world. One day I wish to roam through Ireland's western countryside with a bike, a map, and Bono beside me. hahaha.
Strangely, Husband and I are going out for Thai this evening. We probably won't have trouble getting seated...It sounds like a wonderful celebration. I have to admit not knowing anything about it aside from wearing green. I even failed at that today. My Mom's side of the family came over on the boat from Londonerry Ireland but we have been watered down by moonshiners and goldrushers. I do love the cabbage and corned beef tho. Thanks for the lesson. Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteIn grade school we learned Irish songs and put on all-school programs. In college we put food coloring in other people's milk, then went out and drank green beer. When I worked in downtown St. Paul I watched the parade of inebriated green people. Now each year I just have to drive VERY carefully past the bar that sets up a huge tent party, draws a gajillion people, and makes a quarter of a million dollars on beer and cover charges on this one day! Sometimes I think I shoulda been Irish, but I don't look good in green, so I'll just watch from the sidelines and say, "Slainte!"
ReplyDeleteAnd a Happy St. Paddy's Day to you, too - fellow Irishwoman! I'm definitely Irish (with green Irish smilin' eyes, to boot!). It's a fun day in our neck of the woods, too. And to the commenter referring to Guinness pudding? Maureen, at Island's Roar, tried a Guinness Milkshake not too long ago - and loved it! Who knew?
ReplyDelete@Screwed Up Texan - Guiness pudding. That might be interesting...much better thought than blodd sausage. Ick. :-)
@Gropius - Yeah, NO School. Isn't that fab! I wish I had gone to this school when I was her age!
@Carlos - Yes, Indeed. Little Johnny was/is slightly scewwed. And me thinks you are too! wink*wink
@Judge Fudge - A Zydeco bagpipe band might be fun! I'll just make sure to have some heavy duty aspirin on hand.
@ Matthew - OH the choices. When you figure it out, let me know. :-)
@ Aladdinsane12 - It is the beverages that make it all enjoyable, I'm afraid. Have you ever had Nana's corned beef? It's a little like eating a concrete block. That's why we stop there LATE in the evening..." Oh No, Nans, I REALLY can't. But thank you!"
NancyI have read SO many St. Pat's posts that deal with tiny manhoods! Poor, poor Irishmen, they are getting slammed this week!
When I moved to Philadelphia from Erie, I couldn't believe the lack of pomp on the 17th. They think they do it big here because they put shamrocks in their front windows, but they don't know thing one about celebrating the Big Day! The schools are open here, and everyone goes to work, for shame!!
My son was born on St. Pat's, so it's a pretty big day in my house!

Twitter may have helped overthrow governments, but is it worth investing in - and how do you buy shares?
Update: Twitter shares rocketed 85 per cent as they hit the New York Stock Exchange today, surging from $26 to $46 immediately and continuing on to hit the $50 dollar mark. Read our report here.
Twitter shares finally hit the stock market today as increasing hype over the social media website's float saw the float price shift up again to $26.
This follows Twitter having boosted the price range of its shares just days before its public listing, as high demand for shares overcame its fears of being caught by the spectre of the Facebook flop.
The micro-blogging service that has helped topple governments, attract presidents and prime ministers and promote celebrities increased the share price range from $17 to $20, to $23 to $25, on Monday, echoing Facebook's move up on the eve of its flotation in May 2012.
Twitter, however, is hoping to dodge the market's bullets in a way Facebook failed to do.
Tweet: Advertisers could be attracted by all the Twitter users, but it is yet to have made a profit
Facebook increased its target price from $28 to $35 to $34 to $38 per share and suffered as it initially rose in value and then sunk.
Silicon Valley and Wall Street are hoping for a decent float from Twitter, after the Facebook minor disaster. The value of Facebook dived in its first weeks of trading prompting criticism of its advisers, claims that investors were not given a true picture, and that there were too many shares on offer at too high a price.
Facebook's share price has since increased to around $49 but Twitter has taken steps to avoid an #epicfail.
The social media service is listing on the New York Stock Exchange, under the ticker TWTR, rather than Nasdaq, which Facebook used. The NYSE has tested its systems to avoid any technical glitches which plagued the first day of Facebook's Nasdaq listing.
It has also sought to play down expectations and analysts suggest the shares are being priced at a level that could see them move up and stabilise.
Should I buy Twitter shares?
Twitter sold 70 million shares at $26 each, it said, raising a net $1.82bn. Including other stock, the price values the business at $18.1bn, according to Bloomberg.
The company has more than 230million active users, sending 500million tweets a year and has been credited with helping break news and coordinate protests, as well as prompt defamation cases and slang such as #YOLO (you only live once).
Brokers have been quick to point out that Twitter, unlike Facebook or Google, is yet to have made a profit.
It made a loss of $69m in the first six months of 2013, after reporting revenue of $254m.
Its plan to make money revolves around advertising to its huge number of users. But while Twitter has a direct line to their attention on computer screens, mobiles and tablets, it needs to balance promotions and the opportunity for targeting them with fears over invasion of privacy and intrusion.
A report on the IPO published by Eagle Alpha, a firm specialising in curating internet opinion, found that this was a widely accepted attitude towards advertising. Its research showed there would be 'outrage' if Twitter was to add more intrusive advertisements to the feed. The same report also found rumours that the user experience may change as new features and partnerships are introduced, particularly around entertainment, television and e-commerce.
Eagle Alpha's report also looked into advertising customer perspectives ahead of the IPO and the self-serve ad platform has been criticised for its lack of user friendliness. With advertising being critical to Twitter's revenue stream, this is an area in clear need of improvement and something the marketing and advertising industries will be watching closely.
The brokers' views
Garry White, of broker Charles Stanley, warns while the business model is simple to understand for investors, Twitter is still a young company.
'This was supposed to be the anti-Facebook float and it has gone and increased the price just before its listing.
'It is investing in a lot of research and development so you have to question when it will become profitable, or is it just a dot-com dream?
'Twitter is still an immature company. Although the buzz isn't as great as with Facebook
it will get off to a great first day, then it has to be profitable.
'It is difficult to value these companies as it is all based on future hope, I am naturally conservative.'
He also warned that you will have to consider the exchange rate at the time of purchasing the shares,
The shift upwards in the share price to $26 values Twitter at 12.4 times its estimated 2014 sales, higher than the 11.4 times price-to-sales ratio for Facebook, a Bloomberg report suggests.
Twitter made a loss of $69m in the first six months of 2013.
Bloomberg adds that Twitter isn't anticipated to make money until 2015, according to analysts' predictions it polled.
In contrast, Facebook racked up $205m in profits in the three months to the end of March 2012, just before its float and $1bn in 2011.
as your investment will be changed from sterling to dollars.
Helal Miah, investment research analyst at the Share Centre, believes Twitter has more prospects for advertising than other forms of social media.
He explains: 'Twitter is the third social media site to float on the stock market and it comes at a time where there are signs of life in the IPO market.
'The market is currently attractive for investors and conditions are more favourable than they were when Facebook floated last year. Both LinkedIn and Facebook have seen their share price rise above the flotation price, with LinkedIn increasing by nearly 100 per cent.
'Advertising revenues are key for these social media companies and Twitter appears to have better prospects than its peers, as the opportunity to advertise on a mobile device is greater and it has increased ease of use.'
How will Twitter make money?
The two main ways that Twitter is trying to make money is through advertising and data licensing.
Advertising: Companies or individuals can pay to get a 'promoted tweet' to appear on people's timelines. Advertisers get charged according to the amount of interaction the tweet gets.
This type of advertising is now being dubbed 'native' in the industry and aims to be far less clunky and much more targeted than old-fashioned advertorials.
Twitter, Facebook and similar sites hold a huge amount of information on their customers and can mine this to allow advertisers to not only pick people from certain demographics with defined tastes and behaviours, but also target those who are more likely to share content or follow links.
Broader native campaigns can also be winners, as social media users are willing to engage with adverts that they like or find funny. A Twitter user may retweet a promotional tweet that has resonated with them, potentially sending it on to hundreds or thousands more people.
A famous example of this is how Oreo's ad agency tweeted a picture of a lit-up cookie surrounded by darkness, when the Super Bowl suffered a blackout saying: 'You can still dunk in the dark.'
This kind of advertising on social media is still in its infancy and analysts suggest companies will give over increasing amounts of their budgets to it - helping to drive revenue for Twitter.
Data licensing: Twitter can also make its data available for companies to analyse to pick up trends and sell on to other businesses. This is highly valuable information that companies can try and use to jump on emerging trends, test new products and ideas, or simply see what people are doing.
A huge amount of money is spent on market research around the world each year and a shift in this towards Twitter, would again boost revenue.
How do technology stocks perform?
Many technology stocks such as Google and Facebook have become household names which helps boost their initially popularity but isn't always sustainable.
Analysis of previous technology and social media IPOs in the graph below by CMC Markets shows while shares have tended to get off to a strong start, initial gains in those chosen have not usually stuck around.
The chart plots the change in the share price over the following 100 weeks. Within 30 weeks all but Google were underwater. Baidu and Linkedin then climbed back above IPO value, while Facebook took until 66 weeks to get back into the black and Zynga and Groupon have still not made it there.
Colin Cieszynski, senior market analyst for CMC Markets, said it is important for traders to realize that opening day or even opening week success does not necessarily mean anything about the future prospects of the stock.
Returns: There is always initial excitement for an IPO and then the price usually settles
Cieszynski explains: 'As with sports teams, there is a lot of attention paid to opening day from the media and fans that then drops off. Once leftover demand from the IPO is filled, it becomes another of thousands of stocks available for trading.
'There is a quiet period for research following IPOs. Analysts with firms that underwrite the IPO are prohibited by regulation to publish research on the IPO company for a specific number of days following an IPO. This tends to take the wind out of a new stock's sails for a while until the blackout ends and brokers/analysts are able to get out and drum up interest again.
Google: Floated in 2004 and raised $1.9billion.
Facebook: Floated in 2012 and raised $16billion.
LinkedIn: Floated in 2011 and raised $351million.
'IPOs are about imagination and projections but trading is about results. Once in the marketplace, a new stock has to report earnings and sales just like existing stocks and needs to deliver on expectations.
'A heavily hyped and high priced IPO or a big spike in initial trading may create extremely high expectations, raising the risk of disappointment when cold, hard numbers start to come out.'
Mr Cieszynski says a lot of companies list to raise money for new initiatives that can take a few years to implement; this can cause disappointment in the short term.
He says: 'With Facebook, it took over a year for its mobile advertising offering to really take off, at which point the shares doubled in value in under three months.
'It takes time for companies that are new to the markets to build a track record. Trading in the days following an IPO can be particularly volatile and can create opportunities to profit from moves in both directions. Eventually, trading tends to be driven by company performance and broad market conditions, just as is is for more established stocks.'
How a stock performs on its opening day gives an indication of how well underwriters performed on pricing the deal. A big opening day means the deal was underpriced, a poor open suggests the deal was overpriced. Google traded essentially flat on its opening day in 2004 and steadily gained steam from there.
Regardless of how they started out, all of the other companies studied traded below their IPO price within six to eight months.

Chris Coleman vs…. no one?

- Comments Off on Chris Coleman vs…. no one?
Perhaps the gorgeous crooner Alicia Keys said it best when she sang, "No one, no one, no one…"
On Tuesday, April 16, DFL and Republican activists from across St. Paul took their separate corners at precinct caucuses and ward conventions, which were relatively short and to the point, from what the Scoop gleaned last night. The DFL introduced no challengers to St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman. The GOP introduced no challengers to Coleman, and no candidates for school board.
Sing it, Alicia…
However, our spies at the GOP caucus tell the Scoop that University Avenue realtor Tim Holden got a round of applause. Holden, who did not address the crowd or make public remarks, has said he is running for the nonpartisan seat as an independent, though he has yet to file his campaign finance reports, which are due within 14 days of expending or receiving $100 in campaign funds.
Writes a dedicated Scoopster, via email:
There were a number of former School Board candidates present but they did not announce their intentions. Since we do not endorse candidates at our Ward Caucuses there is still time to find candidates to endorse. Here are some of them that were there: John Krenik, Richard Eaton, and Liz Paulson.
There was a Mayor Candidate who was checking out the SPRCC, Tim Holden. Here is Tim's contact info for more info about his candidacy HOLDENFORMAYOR.com … Holden did not address the audience but he got a rousing applause when he was introduced that he was going to run against Chris Coleman.
There will probably be more about the GOP caucus here and here but not likely here.
Meanwhile, there are at least six DFL-friendly candidates running for the three seats on the 7-member school board. Those candidates include the sitting board chair Jean O'Connell and fellow incumbent John Brodrick. Elona Street-Stewart is not running for re-election.
In addition to O'Connell (oconnellforstpaulkids.com) and Brodrick (brodrick4kids.com), they include Chue Vue (chueforschoolboard.com), David Martinez (martinezforstpaulkids.com), Luis Ortega (ortegaforschoolboard.org), and Sarah Lechowich (sarahlechowich.org). The DFL endorsements will be determined at the party's city convention on June 8 at the old Arlington High School, which is currently the Washington Technology Magnet School, 1495 Rice St.
More info on DFL stuff here.
Now, back to the GOP…
Here's the official statement, hot off the digital presses, from the GOP's city committee:
Statement by Greg Copeland, Chair, St. Paul Republican City Committee, on Tuesday's
2013 St. Paul City Caucus
While I can't report any candidate announcements today, Tim Holden, an independent candidate for Mayor attended the Republican Caucus as a guest. Holden shared his campaign flyer seeking support for his Mayoral Campaign with our St. Paul City Caucus goers as he met each of them. Holden told Republicans he came to meet them on a one to one to basis and listen to them.
We believe the three seats on the 2013 ballot for St. Paul School Board are all Open Seats, even though there has been only one incumbent who will not seek re-election.
Three people who have previously been endorsed by the St. Paul GOP as candidates for St. Paul School Board attended the Caucus, but they did not indicate Tuesday that they would be running in 2013. We will be seeking school board candidates who make the case reform St. Paul Schools to ensure that our children can graduate ready for a job, or with a ticket to vocational training or college.
State GOP Chair Keith Downey pledged his commitment to directly support St. Paul Republicans
in their 2013 city elections as he works to rebuild the Republican Party looking forward to the 2014 races for U. S. Senate, Governor, and the MN House.Minnesota Senate Minority Leader Senator David Hann declared Republicans in St. Paul have an opportunity given the fact the DFL has held the Mayor's Office for the last 12 years and had every seat on the City Council for over two decades, as well as the majority of seats on the school board. Hann pointed out, "If St. Paul residents are unhappy with how the City is operating, or dissatisfied with St. Paul Schools; they are ready to vote for a change. We are the Change."
Chris Fields said his election State GOP Secretary sent a message that St. Paul and Minneapolis is no longer fly over country for the Great Opportunity Party. Urban Republicans will get our support for their work to challenge the status quo policies of the DFL that are failing poor people looking for a job and their children who will need a good education to seize opportunities for changing their lives and escaping the grip of poverty.
Deputy Chair Kelly Fenton, a former St. Paul resident, told the Caucus she would go door to door with party activists to make our case directly to Capitol City voters.
A Republican City Convention date will be announced by the St. Paul City Committee.

Republican school board candidates in St. Paul should not expect a lot of official support from the Republican City Committee, or at least not from its embattled executive board, this election season. The committee is preoccupied with enough internal problems of its own.
For starters, Andy Noble, chair of the Republican City Committee of St. Paul, faces a leadership challenge from within his party. Actually, make that challenges, plural. Committee members — including former chair Greg Copeland — have asked to have him removed, and CD4* Chair Jim Carson has actually asked the entire committee to disband unless they start raising significant funds for candidates. (*That's the 4th Congressional District Republicans, FYI).
They don't want to go, and are planning to ask Carson for a written apology.
It seems city committee members aren't all getting along, and their willingness and ability to support each other and additional GOP candidates in local elections has been called into question.
At the last executive committee meeting on Sept. 15, former chair Greg Copeland requested that the board give each GOP school board candidate $100. Board members said that'd be impossible, as they have less than $500 in the bank, and only 32 people RSVP'd for the next fundraiser. Hosting the fundraiser will eat into the remaining sum.
(For perspective, there are 11 members of the executive committee and 32 members of the overall city committee.)
Noble left the meeting early, according to minutes, and the remaining seven members voted by secret ballot on whether to have him removed as chair. The minutes show 2 abstentions, one no vote and 4 yeses. The vote was non-binding.
The next one could be final. The next full city committee meeting will be Sept. 29, and the agenda calls for the full committee to vote on whether Noble should continue as chair, a position he has held since March. (Removal requires 2/3rds vote of the committee.) It also calls for a written response to Carson.
"The meeting on the 29th is nothing more than a regular city committee meeting, that's all it is," Noble told the Scoop in a phone interview. "You're being manipulated to create a story where there isn't one. … I don't know what to make of all of this. I really don't. It's really sad."
He called the three GOP school board candidates — Lizz Paulson, Kevin Huepenbecker, and Pat Igo — "excellent candidates" deserving of the GOP's full support. "They're phenomenal. That's my job as chair, not to be dealing with this circus on the side. … This situation is something else."
As for Carson, he had a somewhat different take on the city committee in an Aug. 23 email to state party chair Tony Sutton:
Finally, I want to say that this dysfunctionality is not Andy's or even any one individual's. He has been Chair for 4-5 months while this has festered for decades. His main failing is that he hasn't fixed "stupid".
So what, exactly, do some committee members have against Noble, a real estate developer from Indiana who ran unsuccessfully last year for Ramsey County Commissioner? The answers range from the fact that no Republicans were recruited to run for any St. Paul City Council positions this year, to the fact there hasn't been an organized GOP presence at local parades and street festivals.
There's also the question of care and control of the city committee web site.
The "charges" against Noble, read into the meeting minutes by Copeland, say:
"The Chair has acted to raise and spend funds in the City Committee's name without consideration or approval being given by the Full City Committee for a website with a vendor for which there are ongoing costs which the City Committee never had the opportunity to consider, discuss, or approve, as the Chair acted without seeking or obtaining approval from the City Committee before he acted.
The Chair has not provided satisfactory leadership for the City Committee in this election year.
No City Council Candidates were recruited for any of the 7 Wards on the 2011 ballot.
The Chair Failed to provide leadership required for the entry of the City Committee and its endorsed school board candidates in the traditional City Parades, specifically Rondo Days Parade, Cinqo De Mayo Parade, and Rice Street Parade. Undertaking these activities is basic to our party mission in Saint Paul and to representing our endorsed candidates in their campaigns for public office.
… The Chair has created needless ill will and a poor public image by his actions to take internal matters outside the city committee."
Noble has his own response to these criticisms. He said that Copeland, the former chair, "is the one driving some of these efforts" and should have recruited GOP candidates for the City Council prior to Noble taking over in March. "You're not going to recruit a slate of candidates overnight, or over six months," Noble said. "Those are not valid charges."
Copeland has run for public office several times, without success, and wants his chairmanship of the city committee back, Noble claims.
Whatever the truth, the Scoop suspects high drama on Sept. 29…

I love instant downloads! It doesn't get any better than that!
At partystarking we love parties!
I am the eldest of four sisters and when we were growing up our mum always made a big effort to make our birthday celebrations extra special. The birthday cake was greatly anticipated, every year mum would come up with a different themed cake, to reflect our current interests and obsessions.
Naturally when I had children of my own I wanted to continue these traditions to make them feel unique and loved on their own special day each year. The party themes keep on getting more elaborate, I can't help but throw myself into it! As was my mum, I am guided by my children's latest interests and obsessions. They never fail to inspire me!
I hope that children (and parents) around the world get as much enjoyment out of our party themes as my kids and I do.

What paper should I print on?
• For most printables I recommend using a good quality paper stock, weight 100–120gsm which is a bit heavier than standard copier paper.
• For Wonka Bar wrappers, it depends on your printer type:
~~ Laser printer: standard printer/copier paper is usually fine
~~ Inkjet printer: gloss or coated inkjet-specific paper is recommended.
• For Golden Tickets I recommend Gold Vellum paper, this is what I use for printing Golden Tickets – it's quite lightweight but looks great with a metallic/pearlized gold sheen on both sides of the paper.

Joleon Lescott Makes Fun of Yaya Toure's Birthday Controversy on Twitter
Yaya Toure birthday jokes: Will they ever get old?
To Toure's former Manchester City team-mate Joleon Lescott, they apparently will not.
Toure had a well-documented row with his employer over the club apparently forgetting his birthday.
So when Lescott was wished well on his big day by West Brom on Twitter, he responded in Toure-like fashion and threatened to quit if he didn't get a cake.
Thankfully, West Brom were saved by Lescott's hashtag.
