I'm 21 weeks pregnant with my second baby. We found in the week 20 anatomy scan that the little peanut will likely be affected by dwarfism. Though we dont know which sub-type, my DH was born with spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (a spontaneous mutation), which is a disorder with less than one in a million occurrence. They say it's a "mild" form, buty DH probably wouldnt agree aside from his 4' 11" height. We've known that each of our pregnancies would pose a 50% chance of passing it to the baby, but we took the chance. Our 2 1/2 yo son was born of average height.
We were both upset at first. I mostly wish there was something I could say to him that would take away the guilt he feels. Though I'm beginning to feel more emotionally stable about the whole thing (after all, my husband has it & he is AMAZING).
DH's main worry is about physical problems/pain that he/she will experience throughout his/her life. He's had so much chronic pain & so many surgeries (mostly hips, spine, & legs). Of course I worry about that too, but I also stress about managing the emotional part of it.
I'm so thankful that our baby will have an amazing role model in my DH. I'm thankful that I have my MIL as a source of comfort and advice. Also, I am realizing more & more that I am also thankful that things could be so much worse. I know our baby will be thriving, beautiful, intelligent, & have as full a life as anyone else.

Kübler-Ross model
|This article is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay that states the Wikipedia editor's personal feelings about a topic, rather than the opinions of experts. (June 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Kübler-Ross model, or the five stages of grief, postulates a series of emotions experienced by survivors of an intimate's death, wherein the five stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
The model was first introduced by Swiss psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book, On Death and Dying, and was inspired by her work with terminally ill patients.[1] Motivated by the lack of curriculum in medical schools on the subject of death and dying, Kübler-Ross examined death and those faced with it at the University of Chicago medical school. Kübler-Ross' project evolved into a series of seminars which, along with patient interviews and previous research, became the foundation for her book. Since the publication of "On Death and Dying", the Kübler-Ross model has become accepted by the general public; however, its validity is not consistently supported by the majority of research.[2]
Kübler-Ross noted later in life that the stages are not a linear and predictable progression and that she regretted writing them in a way that was misunderstood.[3] Rather, these are a collation of five common experiences for the bereaved that can occur in any order, if at all.
The stages, popularly known by the acronym DABDA, include:[4]
- Denial – The first reaction is denial. In this stage individuals believe the diagnosis is somehow mistaken, and cling to a false, preferable reality.
- Anger – When the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue, they become frustrated, especially at proximate individuals. Certain psychological responses of a person undergoing this phase would be: "Why me? It's not fair!"; "How can this happen to me?"; '"Who is to blame?"; "Why would this happen?".
- Bargaining – The third stage involves the hope that the individual can avoid a cause of grief. Usually, the negotiation for an extended life is made in exchange for a reformed lifestyle. People facing less serious trauma can bargain or seek compromise.
- Depression – "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die soon, so what's the point?"; "I miss my loved one, why go on?"
During the fourth stage, the individual despairs at the recognition of their mortality. In this state, the individual may become silent, refuse visitors and spend much of the time mournful and sullen.
- Acceptance – "It's going to be okay."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."
In this last stage, individuals embrace mortality or inevitable future, or that of a loved one, or other tragic event. People dying may precede the survivors in this state, which typically comes with a calm, retrospective view for the individual, and a stable condition of emotions.
Kübler-Ross later expanded her model to include any form of personal loss, such as the death of a loved one, the loss of a job or income, major rejection, the end of a relationship or divorce, drug addiction, incarceration, the onset of a disease or chronic illness, an infertility diagnosis, and even minor losses.
Both sufferers and therapists have reported the usefulness of the Kübler-Ross Model in a wide variety of situations[citation needed]. The subsections below give a few specific examples of how the model can be applied in different situations:
Children grieving in divorce[edit]
- Denial
- Children feel the need to believe that their parents will get back together, or will change their mind about the divorce. Example: "Mom and Dad will stay together."
- Anger
- Children feel the need to blame someone for their sadness and loss. Example: "I hate Mom for leaving us."
- Bargaining
- In this stage, children feel as if they have some say in the situation if they bring a bargain to the table. This helps them keep focused on the positive that the situation might change, and less focused on the negative, the sadness they'll experience after the divorce. Example: "If I do all of my chores or maybe if I do everything I'm supposed to, then he won't leave."
- Depression
- This involves the child experiencing sadness when they know there is nothing else to be done, and they realize they cannot stop the divorce. The parents need to let the child experience this process of grieving because if they do not, it only shows their inability to cope with the situation. Example: "I'm sorry that I cannot fix this situation for you."
- Acceptance
- This does not necessarily mean that the child will be completely happy again. The acceptance is just moving past the depression and starting to accept the divorce. The sooner the parents start to move on from the situation, the sooner the children can begin to accept the reality of it.[5]
Grieving a lost amorous relationship[edit]
- Denial
- The person left behind is unable to admit that the relationship is over. He/she may continue to seek the former partner's attention.
- Anger
- The partner left behind may blame the departing partner, or him/herself.
- Bargaining
- The partner left behind may plead with a departing partner that the stimulus that provoked the breakup shall not be repeated. Example: "I can change. Please give me a chance." Alternatively, he/she may attempt to renegotiate the terms of the relationship.
- Depression
- The partner left behind might feel discouraged that his or her bargaining plea did not convince the former partner to stay.
- Acceptance
- Lastly, the partner abandons all efforts toward renewal of the relationship.[6][unreliable source?]
Grieving in substance abuse[edit]
- Denial
- People feel that they do not have a problem concerning alcohol or other substances. Even if they do feel as if they might have a small problem they believe that they have complete control over the situation and can stop drinking or doing drugs whenever they want. Example: "I don't have to drink all of the time. I can stop whenever I want."
- Anger
- The anger stage of abusers relates to how they get upset because they have an addiction or are angry that they can no longer use drugs. Some of these examples include "I don't want to have this addiction anymore." "This isn't fair, I'm too young to have this problem."
- Bargaining
- This is the stage that drug and alcohol abusers go through when they are trying to convince themselves or someone else that they are going to stop abusing in order to get something out of it or get themselves out of trouble (or to justify continuing their use of drugs and/or alcohol). Example: "God, I promise I'll never use again if you just get me out of trouble." "...If you let me stay here, I will never do drugs/alcohol again."
- Depression
- Sadness and hopelessness are important parts of the depression stage when drug abusers are faced with the reality of living a life without their substance of choice. Most abusers experience this when they are going through the withdrawal stage quitting their addiction.
- Acceptance
- With substance abusers, admitting the existence of a problem is different from accepting the problem. When a substance abuser admits that he/she has a problem, this is more likely to occur in the bargaining stage. Accepting that he/she has a problem is when you realise that you have a problem and start the process to resolve the issue.[7]
As stated above, Kübler-Ross claimed these stages do not necessarily come in order, nor are all stages experienced by all patients. She stated, however, that a person always experiences at least two of the stages. Often, people experience several stages in a "roller coaster" effect—switching between two or more stages, returning to one or more several times before working through it.[4] Women are more likely than men to experience all five stages.[4]
However, the Kübler-Ross hypothesis holds that there are individuals who struggle with death until the end. Some psychologists believe that the harder a person fights death, the more likely they will be to stay in the denial stage. If this is the case, it is possible the ill person will have more difficulty dying in a dignified way. Other psychologists state that not confronting death until the end is adaptive for some people.[4]
Pedagogical relevance[edit]
Pedagogical studies suggest that the stages of grief exemplify the basic process of integrating new information that conflicts with previous beliefs.[citation needed]
In George Bonanno's book, The Other Side of Sadness: What the New Science of Bereavement Tells Us About Life After a Loss,[8] he summarizes his peer-reviewed research based on thousands of subjects over two decades and concludes that a natural resilience is the principal component of grief.[9] The logic is that if there is no grief, there are no stages of grief to pass.[10][11] Bonanno's work has also demonstrated that absence of grief or trauma symptoms is a healthy outcome.[10][11]
A 2000–2003 study of bereaved individuals conducted by Yale University obtained some findings consistent with the five-stage hypothesis and others inconsistent with it. Several letters were also published in the same journal criticizing this research and arguing against the stage idea.[12] Skeptic Magazine published the findings of the Grief Recovery Institute, which contested the concept of stages of grief as they relate to people who are dealing with the deaths of people important to them.[13]
According to Baxter Jennings et al., Kübler-Ross did not adequately take the personal environment into consideration. If patients are surrounded by positive experiences, they will experience things differently from how they would if they were surrounded by negatives.[14]
Grief communication[edit]
|The neutrality of this section is disputed. (March 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Grief communication occurs in grief-stricken people, through their emotions, actions, and words. Kübler-Ross placed much emphasis on communication. When a person is approaching death and is going through the five stages of her model she believed that person wanted to review his or her life, the illness he or she has, and his or her imminent death. When a patient and physician could discuss this courageously and candidly a good death would be possible. This model and her thoughts are influential to health care providers; it provides guidance to approaching and interacting with people experiencing grief.
Other applications[edit]
Philosopher Slavoj Zizek has contended in his book Against the Double Blackmail that the reaction of Western Europe to the flow of refugees from Africa and the Middle East "seems to comprise a similar combination of disparate reactions" as the Kubler-Ross model.
There is – less and less – denial: 'It's not so serious, let's just ignore it.' There is anger: 'Refugees are a threat to our way of life – and besides, radical Islamists hide among them. They should be stopped at all costs!' There is bargaining: 'OK, let's establish quotas and support refugee camps in their own countries!' There is depression: 'We are lost, Europe is turning into Europastan!' What is entirely lacking among these responses, though, is the last of Kubler-Ross's stages: acceptance, which, in this case, means a consistent Europe-wide plan of how to deal with the refugee issue.— Slavoj Zizek, Against the Double Blackmail, page 2

very nice, i like this kind of artwork X)

Hi, can i use ur "Arken" series of images as reference for a submarine level interior please?
This. Is. Awesome.

I love this whole series. you are able to create alot of interest in your drawings.
Is this in a submarine?
these cutaways are kind of enchanting.. you have a very good sense for details too ^^
so hey.. did u need to look at any references for this creation? or is it all in your head?
Some of both. I didn't use a lot of direct reference when I did this, but built further upon the designs I used for the interior of the sky destroyer a few year ago (from memory). That in turn was inspired WWII submarine and destroyer interiors, as well as various bits of equipment that were in a factory I used to work in. The reactor is pretty cartoony, but the big glowing light is there to say "Hi, this is the important part" as well to put some creepy lighting on anyone in the compartment. The details have also been made oversized and simpler than the real thing would be- CG cartoon and all.
I pity the engineer standing next to the unshielded reactor...
All this serie is just pure awesome! Just luv it! Thanks for sharing !!!
I love your sketch...
wow, so detailed and yet set out in such a way that it's not too detailed or cluttered, very nice interiors...
These are all so amazing I had to them all for later viewing. The detail is so stylized, but it all makes sense and would be easy for a modeler or other artist to see exactly what you wanted!
Nice job as always man!
Nice job as always man!

I am now officially in love with Joey Votto...well, if he were a she.
The main headline on the Yahoo splash page runs Votto through the ringer for not hugging and slapping the rear end of Marlon Byrd.
It wasn't the feature story for very long—enough time to send me into a legitimate laugh out loud.
Says Votto, "I don't like the Cubs. And I'm not going to pat anybody with a Cubs uniform on the back. But because he made that really cool play, it turned out to be a really cool experience. I'm really glad we got the win today."
Yeah baby, that's the spirit!
The Cubs outfielder made a great play...possibly a game saver. Votto acknowledged it as being a "really cool play"—so what's the big deal?
I ask, what in the world is wrong with not liking a rival team?
It wasn't anything personal against Byrd.
It's just the fact that the Cubs outfielder happens to wear the wrong color jersey—although, I have always liked the Cubbie blue—very classy.
One of my biggest pet peeves in the game of baseball is being forced to watch camaraderie between opposing teams. Players yukking it up with the other team before the game, and especially during the game—it's sickening.
Call me an old-school soul, but if Shoeless Joe had a smiley face on and tried to talk to Ty Cobb, it's very likely Jackson would have been murdered on the playing field.
Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a catcher trying to make a batter lose his focus by making sport of the guy's ugly wife.
Or even, a little banter between a first baseman and a rival who has just reached base is okay.
I've seen Joey Votto do that numerous times...maybe even with Marlon Byrd—I'll pay closer attention the next time the Reds are in Wrigley or the Cubs hit Great American.
"Votto refused to congratulate Chicago Cubs outfielder Marlon Byrd."
So what? Did everyone congratulate him? I doubt it, but if they did I'm for sure glad I turned off the tube when the game ended.
Were Votto and the rest of the NL All-Stars supposed to run into the outfield and join the jumping chest bump?
The ninth inning play by Byrd, where he bull rushed the ball and made a last second decision to let it fall and get the force at second of the sloth-footed David Ortiz was the best play by a right-fielder in an All-Star game since 1979 when Dave Parker fielded a line drive single on a hop and gunned the third base runner down at the plate.
Byrd knew it was a spectacular play. Votto knew it. Everyone who saw it knew it.
According to Yahoo baseball "expert", David Brown (what a lame name—get a pseudonym buddy), Votto should have congratulated Byrd with a, "Handshake...a wave...a wink...a nod...a glance...a happy thought."
How about a tongue kiss? Would that have suited you, David Lame Name?
Lame Name goes on to say, "What a leech—and a sorry excuse for an All-Star."
Hmmmm....What's worse, saying you are not going to pat the back of a divisional rival (while saying his play was "cool"), or calling a complete stranger "a leech" and "a sorry excuse for an All-Star?"
I know my answer.
Anyone half familiar with Votto's style knows that the man takes the game very seriously. He very rarely even smiles.
Now, knowing he is a throwback to the days when joshing around with members of the opposition would lead to a beating, Joey Votto is officially my favorite baseball player.


text: I've been renting this home for more than a year and there have been a lot of plumbing issues - mostly leaks, but the water in the kitchen has always heated fine. There is a leak under the sink as well, though I can't see it dripping, I can just see that the cabinet floor is wet. The hot water is working in both of our bathrooms, so I figured it wasn't the hot water heater. What could cause something like this? My landlord drags her feet with getting these things fixed, and when she does send a plumber out it's always one of her friends and he doesn't actually fix anything. Maybe if I know what needs to be done I can hire my own person and deduct it from rent.

Oil chiefs urge offshore drilling
Published: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 at 8:35 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 at 8:36 a.m.
WASHINGTON (AP) Executives of the biggest oil companies are taking their case for expanded offshore drilling to Congress, even as Democratic congressional leaders and the Obama administration promise to put some limits on energy development along the nations coasts.
The executives were testifying Wednesday before the House Natural Resources Committee. The panel previously heard from opponents to drilling and from officials representing the governors from a number of coastal states.
Committee Chairman Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., said hes not opposed to offshore drilling, but was holding the hearings to learn more about the trade-offs that would be involved if more coastal waters were opened to oil and gas companies.
Congress last October ended the long-standing ban on drilling in about 85 percent of the countrys coastal waters, from New England to the Pacific Northwest.
Environmentalists have called for the ban to be re-imposed.
The oil executives to testify are Larry Nichols, chairman of Devon Energy Corp.; Marvin Odum, president of Shell Oil Co.; Lamar McKay, president of BP America; and the top executives of the exploration and production arms of Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp.
In a conference call Tuesday with reporters, Nichols said the message he and the other executives want Congress to hear is that for decades to come the vast majority of our energy is going to come from our historic sources, mainly oil and natural gas, and there are substantial resources in federal coastal waters.
Also Tuesday, officials from several coastal states told the committee that states views must be taken into account before the federal government allows oil drilling in federal offshore waters. And some states made clear they want no drilling period.
There should be no ambiguity about where California stands on the issue of new offshore oil and gas leasing off California. We oppose it, said Mike Chrisman, the states secretary for natural resources.
Ted Diers, chairman of the Coastal States Organization, which represents governors of coastal states, said any offshore energy development must have states as full partners, with revenues shared.
It is vital for state authority and sovereignty to be maintained, said Diers, who manages New Hampshires coastal programs.

Once upon a time, a girl decided to surprise her boyfriend for the weekend. It's a classic story: she booked a plane ticket, got his friends involved and, hardest of all, fought to keep from spilling the beans beforehand. There were two months of wait time from idea to fruition, which meant lots of vague conversations and deceptive communication meant to throw him off along the way. But finally, early November came. She made phone plans with him for the day she was to arrive—or really, and maybe she should have seen this as a clue or as the thing we'd call foreshadowing in English class, he made phone plans with her, to cook something at the same time, from their separate cities. When she'd talked about her blog and how she'd been lacking inspiration for it (as those of you on Facebook know all about), he'd suggested this idea, and she'd said, Something with pears! Because they'll be on sale! And she'd laughed to herself the whole time thinking, aha! he has no idea I'm … [Read more...]
Accidental Chocolate Trifle
Here is something I've been thinking about for a while now: it seems for the most part that the home cooking world is divided into two camps. You see it when you're a guest in someone's home, you see it on cooking shows and books and blogs, you see it in yourself if you think carefully enough. First, there are those with skills; then, there are those with kindness. Let me explain what I mean---or maybe I'll start with what I don't mean. I don't mean that the cooks with skills aren't kind or that the cooks with kindness aren't skilled. They aren't mutually exclusive. I don't mean that cooking well makes you a snob or that wanting to have a nice dinner party means you're a monster. I think what I just mean is this: There are people who wow you and there are people who love you. And sometimes I wonder which one I'm trying to be. The first group is successful, you know? They are highly organized, on top of things---the kind of people who have you over and you are awed by every … [Read more...]

Can you help me finding the spots in the WP Survey And Quiz Tool's code, where can I add my code?
I would like to add new types of questions, to suite my needs. The idea is to use JS, construct the answer as a string, set it back to a simple text type input and than store it into database with this plugin.
For example JS datepicker feeds back a date to a text input in the form, like '2012-12-22'. For this, I need the system to generate
<input type="text" class="datepicker" name="whatever-the-plugin-uses"/>
for specific questions. Where can I add my code, so in the admin, I can choose a new question type that does this custom behavior.
The same question, but with a hidden answer. For example there is a JS that let's the user add children with their names. The plugin should save a simple string (constructed by the JS for example 'Jack;Jill' or '') to the DB, but not show an input text field.
I would like to have a likert type question, with the scales of -5 to +5. Where can I add my code to have this new subtype of likert question?
Thanks for the help,

- Though still generally below their mid-October highs, Internet momentum stocks are turning in what might be their best performance during a rally that has now lasted two weeks. While Twitter (previous) is the star of the show, Facebook (FB +3.5%), Yelp (YELP +1.8%), Groupon (GRPN +4.7%), Netflix (NFLX +2.1%), LinkedIn (LNKD +1.4%), and Pandora (P +3.4%) aren't getting left out.
- Several Chinese Internet names are also higher. In addition to Baidu, which is benefiting from a bullish Pac Crest note, Sina (SINA +6%), Ctrip (CTRP +6.1%), Qunar (QUNR +6.3%), and Youku (YOKU +3.9%) are staring at big gains.
- Morgan Stanley's Scott Devitt is out with another bullish note on Groupon. Devitt notes an MS survey of 358 SMBs found only 26% of merchants have run Groupon deals in the last 12 months, something he thinks suggests there's "a long run way of merchants" that can still be signed up.
- He also sees room for Groupon to improve its customer targeting - the company still isn't able to track which deals were shown to customers, or were clicked on, in prior e-mails - and expects its new site (allows deals to be browsed without an e-mail address being given) and a revamped e-mail layout to boost growth.
Dec. 6, 2013, 12:01 PM
- A day after giving up its morning gains in response to a report that Spotify plans to offer limited mobile access to its library on an ad-supported basis, Pandora (P -2.5%) is selling off on an up day for equities. A note from Albert Fried's Rich Tullo could be playing a role.
- Tullo, who downgraded Pandora to Underweight last month prior to its FQ3 report, isn't worried about the competitive threat posed by Spotify's new service, given Pandora has held its own against Spotify thus far and "the ease of use case of the Pandora platform defends Pandora's market share."
- He is, however, worried Spotify's willingness to pay higher royalty rates to artists will affect Pandora's 2014 negotiations with recording rights organization SoundExchange (responsible for a huge portion of Pandora's royalty payments).
- Tullo: "We think 2014 will be a tough year for Pandora from a news flow perspective ... artists may be going into the negotiation from the position that Pandora needs to pay 4x to 10x more per performance."
- Pandora recently gave up on trying to get the Internet Radio Fairness Act passed, and said it would focus on lobbying the Copyright Royalty Board for rate changes.
Dec. 5, 2013, 4:10 PM
- The WSJ reports Spotify will offer free, ad-supported access to its streaming library on mobile devices for the first time. However, while the service will allow users to "play a limited number of songs on demand," it will "mostly serve up music based on the user's input."
- Thus far, Spotify has only provided free library access to PC users; free mobile users have been limited to Spotify's streaming radio service. However, that service, which has been around for nearly 18 months, is more of a direct competitor to Pandora (P -0.1%) than the library service.
- Spotify currently claims 20M active users and 6M paid subs (many of them in Europe, where Pandora doesn't operate). Pandora, by comparison, had 72.4M active listeners in November, and 3.18M paid subs at the end of October.
- This is far from the first time Pandora has sold off due to Spotify-related news. Shares currently +220% YTD.
- Previous: Pandora slips amid reports of Spotify service launch
Dec. 5, 2013, 3:41 PM
- Up nearly 2% earlier in afternoon trading, Pandora (P -0.1%) has given up its gains following headlines stating Spotify plans to offer a free music service.
- The headlines are somewhat puzzling, given Spotify already offers free (ad-supported) streaming services to go with its (ad-free) subscription services.
Dec. 4, 2013, 8:47 AM
- Pandora (P) is ahead 2.6% in the premarket after monthly metrics show gains on both a yearly and monthly basis in the face of iTunes Radio.
- Active listeners of 72.4M as of the end of November is up 16% Y/Y, and up from 70.9M in October.
- Pandora's share of total U.S. radio listening of 8.44% is up from 7.17% a year ago, and from 8.06% in October.
- Listener hours of 1.49B is up 18% Y/Y, and up from 1.47B October.
Nov. 27, 2013, 2:10 PM
- 14 months after the Internet Radio Fairness Act (aims to put Internet radio royalties on par with satellite streaming royalties) was brought before Congress, Pandora (P -1.6%) has given up on trying to get the bill passed in the face of staunch opposition.
- Billboard reports Pandora will now focus on lobbying the Copyright Royalty Board for changes; the board is set to deliberate on royalty rates for the 2016-2020 timeframe.
- The strategy change comes at a time when Pandora's content costs, which are tied to listener hours, are declining as a percentage of revenue, largely thanks to improving mobile monetization. That's naturally going over well with investors, but also might affect Pandora's leverage to cut a better deal.
- Meanwhile, the EU is set to make it much easier for streaming music providers to obtain licensing deals from copyright organizations that simultaneously cover all member states.
- Pandora has stayed out of Europe thus far due to licensing challenges; its services are only offered in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand. Spotify, which just raised funding at a reported $4B valuation, has grown like wildfire on the continent.
Nov. 21, 2013, 4:24 PM
- Pandora (P) expects FQ4 revenue of $185M-$190M and EPS of $0.02 vs. a consensus of $187.3M and $0.04. Investors were apparently hoping for better numbers given the company's huge YTD gains.
- Ad revenue (79% of total revenue) rose 36% Y/Y in FQ3 to $144.3M, after growing 44% in FQ2. Mobile ad sales grew 58% to $104.9M.
- Salesforce investments continue to pressure EPS: sales/marketing spend rose 90% Y/Y to $50.6M (they rose 95% in FQ2). But content acquisition costs only rose 32% (they rose 35% in FQ2), trailing revenue growth of 50% thanks to improved monetization.
- Pandora's total ad revenue per thousand listening hours (RPM) rose to $40.11 from $38.87 in FQ2 and $32.40 a year ago. A gap still remains between mobile and PC monetization, but it's narrowing: Mobile ad RPM was $36.00, up from $33.90 in FQ2 and a mere $25.59 a year ago, and PC ad RPM was $57.54, down slightly from $59.51 in FQ2 and $58.03 a year ago.
- Listener hours, aided by the September removal of Pandora's free mobile monthly listened cap, totaled 4.18B, up 8% Q/Q and 17% Y/Y.
- P -5.4% AH. CC at 5PM ET. FQ3 results, PR.
Nov. 21, 2013, 4:05 PM
- Pandora Media (P): FQ3 GAAP loss per share $0.01.
- Adjusted EPS $0.06 vs consensus $0.06.
- Revenue of $181.6M (+50% Y/Y) beats by $6.8M. Shares -3.64% . (PR)
Nov. 21, 2013, 12:10 AM
Nov. 20, 2013, 5:35 PM
Nov. 19, 2013, 1:34 PM
- Albert Fried has cut Pandora (P -3%) to Underweight ahead of Thursday's FQ3 report, citing valuation. The firm's PT is unchanged at $23.
- Analyst commentary going into earnings has been very positive overall. JPMorgan and Needham recently raised their PTs, and Susquehanna and Piper have joined in today.
Nov. 15, 2013, 11:56 AM
- Three days after Needham issued a bullish note on Pandora (P +6.2%) ahead of its Nov. 21 FQ3 report, JPMorgan is joining in. The firm has raised its PT to $35 from $25, while declaring the Internet radio leader is nearing a revenue "inflection point" thanks to share gains and salesforce investments.
- Also helping Pandora: Hedge funds Coatue Management and Tiger Consumer Management (both offshoots of Julian Robertson's Tiger Management) have disclosed they respectively opened 1.1M and 2.9-share positions in Pandora in Q3. Between them, Coatue and Tiger Consumer owned over 2% of the company at quarter's end.
- Stephen Mandel's Lone Pine Capital owned 10.1M Pandora shares at the end of Q3, unchanged from when Lone Pine originally disclosed a position in the company on Oct. 3. (13F)
Nov. 13, 2013, 3:49 PM
- Six days after dropping in the face of Twitter's strong debut, high-flying Internet names are rallying in the wake of Chinese microblogging leader Sina's Q3 beat and strong Q4 guidance.
- The day has also seen a dismal IPO from online textbook rental leader Chegg, a WSJ report of a rejected $3B+ Facebook offer for Snapchat, and a vague afternoon rumor about M&A interest in Trulia from Realogy.
- U.S. standouts: ZNGA +7.4%. LNKD +4.8%. P +3.3%. ANGI +2.6%. GSVC +4.1% (owns a Chegg stake).
- Chinese standouts: QIHU +8.9%. SFUN +7.5%. LITB +6.4%. YY +6.9%. CYOU +6.3%. QUNR +5.7%. CTRP +3.7%.
- Baidu (BIDU +1.4%) is up moderately following news Chinese online video rivals Sohu (SOHU +1.7%) and Youku (YOKU +3%) have joined the MPAA and various entertainment/media companies in suing it for piracy. The assorted parties accuse Baidu of enabling piracy through its video search engine, as well as through video player apps and a TV dongle.
- The suit comes as Baidu ramps its content spending for its iQiyi and PPS video sites.
Nov. 12, 2013, 3:50 PM
- Needham's Laura Martin has raised her Pandora (P +3.8%) PT to $33 from $25, and has also lifted her FY14 (ends Jan. '14) and FY15 estimates. Martin sees the Web/mobile radio leader posting FQ3 results (due Nov. 21) that are better than prior estimates, and expects the company to continue its momentum in subsequent quarters.
- Also: Martin asserts Pandora's sales investments give it an option on the $14B local radio ad market, and that the company has a 5-year lead in the auto market.
- Previous: Pandora higher after releasing Oct. listener metrics
Nov. 7, 2013, 11:48 AM
- Even as Twitter blasts off to a $25B valuation following its much-hyped IPO, U.S. and foreign Internet stocks are giving back some more of the massive 2013 gains that have led many names to trade at steep multiples.
- One sign investors in this space are in a profit-taking mood: Zillow (Z -4.3%) and YY both sold off yesterday in spite of delivering Q3 beats (I, II) and above-consensus guidance; Zillow is adding to its losses today. Likewise, SouFun (SFUN -5.4%) has turned negative after providing a Q3 beat and strong guidance.
- Notable U.S. decliners: FB -2.4%. LNKD -2.8%. GRPN -4.7% (reports after the close). ZNGA -2.7%. P -3.8%. TRLA -5.4%.
- Notable foreign decliners: BIDU -2.4%. QIHU -6.7%. SINA -5% (generally viewed as the Chinese Twitter). DANG -6.2%. VIPS -7.7%. RENN -4.2%. AMAP -4.7%. CTRP -5.7%. YOKU -5.6%. RENN -4.2%. YNDX -5.1%. MELI -2.4% (plunged yesterday thanks to a Q3 miss). SIFY -2.6%.
- Internet/social media ETFs: FDN, PNQI, SOCL
Nov. 5, 2013, 10:05 AM
- Pandora's (P +2.8%) October listener hours totaled 1.47B +8% M/M (aided by an extra day) and +18% Y/Y. The Y/Y growth rate is on par with September's 16%, even though iTunes Radio launched on Sep. 18. The company's 40-hour free monthly mobile listening cap was lifted on Sep. 1. (PR)
- Pandora's share of U.S. radio listening was 8.06%, up from 7.77% in September, 7.46% in August, and 6.61% a year ago.
- Pandora's listening growth came even though active listeners fell by 1.8M M/M to 70.9M, evidence Apple may be picking off Pandora's less fervent fans. On a Y/Y basis, active listeners were still up 20% (September's growth was 25%).
- An analyst defending Apple once said the "stickiness of an installed base" represents "one of the most undervalued assets" in tech. Might the same hold for Pandora?
- Also: CFO Michael Herring says Pandora might use some of the funds it raised through its recent stock offering to finance international expansion. The company's streaming services are currently offered only in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand.
- Previous metrics: September, August

Home: Europe : Finland
Finland WebcamsThe pure finish air is always exciting, perfect for every visitor looking for some adventure. Helsinki, at the same time, can be regarded as a trendsetting capital, being surrounded by the magnificent landscapes of the two most important national parks of the country, Lemmenjokj and Oulanka. So if you are looking for a place where you could relax near lakes and pines you should include them in your itinerary as well. Despite its geographical location, the hot season in Finland is more than just bearable and the best part is that numerous festivals are organized here during this period. This is the perfect time for visiting, but you should also know that there is no way to avoid queuing. On the other hand, there is a specific charm associated with winter as well. Apart from the skiing or snowmobiling conditions, which are absolutely fabulous, the aurora borealis is a phenomenon that you would not want to miss. Finally, people are welcoming, warm and independent, which makes the country even more memorable.

How far was SS close to reality? Or far from reality?
::-sometimes it was close to reality and sometimes away,like what happened with Aryan's family,his obssesion,Shai's family circumstances,Deepika's rules and regulations ,Boxer's background,Neha's family matter all are the part of society,but sometime it get apart from reality like in cricketer's case Aru was so caring abt mohindher ,mohinder was not listining that uski jaan ko khatra hai,phir bhi Aru aur poori team uske saath rehti hai,lekin aaj ke time pe really aisa hona mushkil hai

LetsAllMakeBelieve's Profile
Please visit my shop here: http://letsallmakebelieve.etsy.com
By day, I'm a busy cooking, cleaning mom of 2 under 6. But by night...While my side of the world is in a quiet slumber, I pour a fresh cup of coffee, grab a handful of very dark chocolate, and create works of art based on various inspirations from the day before. I live on a diet of strong coffee, heavy cream, and imported cheese.
I have always been an artist; that is, I cannot remember a time when I was not expressing myself on paper or canvas, putting bits and pieces of my thoughts and feelings into each drawing or collage.
While watercolor is my medium of choice, I also love pen & ink, acrylics, collage, and digital art. I am inspired by rich history, music, nature, and the beauty of God's creations…

V. Conclusions
27. The Constitution of Ukraine like other constitutions of Council of Europe member states, provides for the indivisibility of the country and does not allow the holding of any local referendum on secession from Ukraine. This results in particular from Articles 1, 2, 73 and 157 of the Constitution. These provisions in conjunction with Chapter X of the Constitution show that this prohibition also applies to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the Constitution of Crimea does not allow the Supreme Soviet of Crimea to call such a referendum. Only a consultative referendum on increased autonomy could be permissible under the Ukrainian Constitution.
28. Moreover, circumstances in Crimea did not allow the holding of a referendum in line with European democratic standards. Any referendum on the status of a territory should have been preceded by serious negotiations among all stakeholders. Such negotiations did not take place.
If you want to be on this right wing, monarchy, paleolibertarianism and nationalism ping list, but are not, please let me know. If you are on it and want to be off, also let me know. This ping list is not used for Catholic-Protestant debates.
While this explains the glaring and obvious illegality of Russia's theft of Crimea, it won't stop the bootlickers on this forum from praising it
Putin memo to Commission: Go...pound...sand.
Poor NWO. The march of progress falters, and Occupy Terra gets a tiny eviction notice.
Is the Venice Commission another Soros funded Globalist front group that promotes "democracy" and "human rights"? If they are they can take their report and stick in their ear.
I can have my own Commission and or Council and can issue my own conclusion.
Can't see why anyone would pay any attention to it...
Whoa, stop right there... What reason could there be to think that the constitution of the Ukraine means anything after the elected government of the Ukraine has been overthrown by a gang of Nazis??
Pooty-poots army of ass-kissers took 10 minutes and 12 seconds to arrive. I guess the FSB monitors for FR were between 2nd and 3rd shift-change at 10:30 PM local time.
As Con Clausewitz says, war is an extention of politics. Dirty political tactica and thug mentality always follows with a barrel to the head at the poll booth.
No it won't, but I want to give a wider audience to this document because it contains serious analysis of what is and what is not legal under the Ukraine's and the EU's constitutions.
Also see: Austria, Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, etc: I expect Kerry to turn up any time now waving a paper and claiming,"Peace in our time."
Yes. Putin is a usurper of power, war monger and a common thug. Obviously legalities won't stand in his way. Nevertheless, law matters.
while Hitler was a liberal Socialist artist fully supported by communists, he did attract conservatives when people were fed up with the decadent corruptocracy of Europe. History repeats itself in Putin with liberals' help.
That is not New World Order, plainly legal order. Obviously, RF is not going to pay attention, but that only solidifies their status as a rogue state.
A mob overthrew the Ukraine's government which meant Crimea was no longer part of an existing national government.
It seems they are an official EU body, paid for by taxes in Europe. At any rate, this contains legal facts that you and I will have a difficulty researching on our own.
The thug was voted out of office and fled.
Of course you can, and anyone interested in that august commission's decisions, I am sure, would read it and draw conclusions.
And Putin will care about some EU commission's opinion, why?
Anybody who's willing to kill dozens of their own people in false flag operations is a Nazi or worse.
... and promptly gave power to the same Rada that had been previously elected, and the Rada legitimized the revolution. It did not, however, abolish the Ukrainian Constitution.
a gang of Nazis
What reason could there be to think that someone unable to discuss things other than by throwing buzzwords around can be an interesting poster on a serious thread?
But your point is correct: Putin is worse than a Nazi.
They've been claiming their opposition are "Fascists" and "Nazis" since the Spanish Civil War, and they will keep right on doing that as long as there are morons who'll buy into the nonsense.
Godwin's Law applies. Don't feed the trolls.
Would the EU have stepped up and admitted that they considered themselves to be "stakeholders"?
I seriously doubt you can find a loophole in the Ukrainian Constitution that would permit the referendum, I'd be very surprised if you could. OTHO, I seriously doubt the Crimea considered themselves to be limited by the Ukrainian Constitution as opposed to their own definition of "autonomy". A definition they obviously think includes the right to break away from the Ukraine.
It's a case of theory vs. "Facts on the Ground" as the saying now goes. Back in my day, it was theory vs. who actually controlled the countryside when there wasn't a US grunt standing on it and in spite of the briefings in Saigon, we all knew the SVN government rarely controlled the ground a US grunt wasn't at least within sight of.
The Ukraine wasn't prepared to deal with even a minor guerrilla war in the Crimea even if Russia were only matching the EU small arms supplies to the Ukraine bullet for bullet. Given that obvious weakness, once nationalists in the Ukraine got vocal, IMHO, it was inevitable the crowd who want to be part of Russia rather than the Ukraine were going to become very active. Anything, and I mean anything, that Russia felt would threaten security around their bases in the Crimea was going to trigger exactly what we've seen.
If the EU had tried to stop the mass demonstrations and get the groups "to the table" to negotiate it wouldn't have been so painfully obvious that the EU was going to do whatever they had to do in order to keep the Ukraine from not doing what the EU wanted done. That may not have changed a thing but it at least wouldn't have been rubbing Russia's nose in the fact that the EU didn't mind supporting an overthrow of the government if that's what it took to put the Ukraine under the thumb of the EU.
As far as I can tell, Russia had no reason to believe that if the EU backed new government took charge that they wouldn't be faced with all sorts of "re-negotiations" related to their bases. Why people think Russia would believe that the same people who so recently have overthrown a number of governments would play fair with them once they installed a new government, I don't know. I do know that all my Russian friends were convinced that if the EU backed government took charge and the Crimea remained part of the Ukraine that the new government would want Russia out of the bases.
Is that paranoia on their part? Dunno, but it's how they were looking at things and everyone in the West seems to have not cared how Russia would see the changes as a threat. It was a, "Screw Russia" attitude from the start that I think led to Russia deciding they should move and do whatever it takes to regain control of the Crimea.
Would they have done so no matter what? I'm not so sure they would have if the the EU hadn't made it crystal clear Russia couldn't make any kind of deal with the Ukraine that the EU wasn't going to undermine by hook or by crook.
And what all those academics think is of no value whatsoever.....They have no army to change what happened
nicely played
Lordy you are soooo ill informed
Pick up your phone Alex wants to chat
Certainly by RT's version anyway. I cannot believe we have come to a time when folks actually believe that the Soviet Union (formerly known as Russia) run by the KGB in the form of Putin actually believe that communism is okay
So much for the concept of self-rule and self determination. Those pesky constitutions and lawyers getting in the way.
The EU legal beagles seem to advocate the forced containment of peoples and nations. By the same standard every modern nation in Europe and the Western Hemisphere would "illegal".
Crimea is Russian again by virtue forced colonization and ethnic cleansing over 500 years, the right of conquest, and now a popular vote (sham or otherwise) of the majority Rus.
To combine and paraphrase what so many pragmatists through history have pointed out with the tip or their lance/sword/bayonet/naval battle task force.
"They have made their decision. Now let them enforce it if they can."
Absent the hand of God, what is called right, written as history, or called settled law is always defined in the end by the best defensive positions or the heaviest divisions in attack at a ratio of 3 to 1.
Europe lacks both in the Crimea. They have become toothless old men and we are lead by a sunken chested capon.
But, what the heck do I know.
You apparently did not pay attention to the build up of the protests. For months people peacefully gathered asking the government (run by a Putin puppet no less) to do what had been promised during an election campaign. Then in an EDICT all assembly was outlawed. Troops and police were ordered to fire on those assembled and many resigned rather than fire on peaceable assembled country men. At that point all hell broke loose.
Read from those in Ukraine and those with family there. Alex Jones and RT are NOT reliable sources
You can read here http://www.worldmomsblog.com/2014/03/10/ukraine-language-culture-reason-war/
And of course you know it is a false flag because Alex said so.....Do your own research at real sites not just info wars.
Try here
And while you are at it read what the gal wrote as to why she left RT not what Alex claims. It might just get your logical thinking brain going again

Possession is .9 of the law
That's actually quite funny, because the group didn't claim to be NAZIs. The Russians claimed they were NAZIs, trained in Poland.
This goes back in the Russian Psyche to the days of the U. S. S. R., when Poland would not cower to it. Russian officials have never been able to shake that memory from their minds.
So today, the worst thing Russia can do when acting like a NAZI, is call others NAZIs, introduce that evil Poland into the mix, and invade a sovereign territory, and annex it.
Legal opinion? I hate to break it to you, but Conservative support for the U. S. Constitution is based on the legality of it, the precedence, and what it allows or doesn't allow today.
Why would you not be interested in the legality of what Russia just did?
Not Soros' creature but the European Union's. In their words "composed of constitutional and international law experts, supreme or constitutional court judges and members of national parliaments. It is dedicated to the promotion of Europes legal heritage and is now recognised as an international independent legal think-tank." In short, a gaggle of scolds to promote a transnational uniformity with no real authority over anything except social censure of the stinky kids.
Here they are in their own words. Bastards of a different father, but family.
I am sure Obamacon jingoists and sycophants will assume a proper proskynesis to this body.
It is there, but it does not have to be that way. The disregard for even the appearance of laws of war is characteristic of the Soviet man in particular.
Right. And in general, in the leftist vocabulary if you don't like someone, call him a "Nazi" and the argument has been won by knockout.
Yes, rather an anti-Soviet revolution prevailed in Ukraine. The government in Ukraine is the Supreme Rada, that was not "overturned" and in fact the Rada confirmed the victory of the revolution. This does not cancel the existing constitution, and surely is not a legal ground for any province to secede.
Indeed, the referendum was illegal also per the Crimean constitution::
An act by an authority of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea which is contrary to the Constitution of Ukraine is therefore also contrary to the Constitution of Crimea.
Besides, the referendum in itself was not conducted in accordance with recognized international standards: it took place hastily, under military occupation, was not worded in a neutral way, was not preceded by consultation with all stakeholders.
No, he won't care, but it does not negate the fact that the referendum is illegal.
I am not sure if they are, but Ukraine surely is since it's its own territory being carved up.
I seriously doubt you can find a loophole in the Ukrainian Constitution that would permit the referendum
From the Report:
15. It is therefore clear that the Ukrainian Constitution prohibits any local referendum which would alter the territory of Ukraine and that the decision to call a local referendum in Crimea is not covered by the authority devolved to the authorities of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea by virtue of Article 138 of the Ukrainian Constitution.
18. This does not mean that the notion of self-determination would be alien to European constitutional law. However, in its Report on Self-determination and secession in constitutional law quoted above, the Venice Commission concludes that self-determination is understood primarily as internal self-determination within the framework of the existing borders and not as external self-determination through secession.
So you are correct, there is no way for Crimea to secede legally under the present constitution. Which is, kind of the point.
It's a case of theory vs. "Facts on the Ground"
Yes it is. We have a war. soon there will be a larger war. With this post I simply wanted to establish what the legal facts are.
You're right, the Sov....err Russians are Nazis or worse.
Right, but the same can be said of any violation of law: somebody got away with it, at least, for the time being, because he could do so with raw force.
Might Makes Right, always has, always will.
Don't they have any standards about a tire-burning violent mob instigating a coup?
I generally agree that Crimea is Ukrainian by historical chance. Although it is then as much Russian as it is Turkish, or Greek.
The legal system of Europe does not apply retroactively to the historical processes that had shaped the modern borders. The idea is, however, that the present borders should be kept inviolate regardless how they got that way.
Excellent post, thank you.
The topic is the occupation, the referendum, and the annexation of Crimea. Think what you will about the Great Ukrainian anti-Communist Revolution, it did not give anyone the right to carve the country up.

Product Description
Maia is having a very bad day. Her life-long dreams to join the elite Ocean Agency wither and die, when, despite everyone's high expectations, she fails the entrance exams. Then, with the loss of her student status, she gets evicted! Penniless, homeless, and unemployed, Maia finds herself in the middle of a shoot-out between fugitive convicts and the Nereides- sexy agents who only take the most high-paying and dangerous jobs. Desperate, Maia takes the first job offered to her: to take a starring role in the next Nereides operation- as bait!
When Maia, the naive heroine of the silly comedy-adventure Daphne in the Brilliant Blue, fails to get the job she studied for at the prestigious Ocean Academy, she ends up going to work for the Nereids Kamchatka Branch. Operating at the fringes of the law, the Nereids provide a variety of useful services: they recapture stolen goods, catch crooks, collect overdue rent, and rescue lost kittens. But what they really provide is fan service. They execute all their assignments in outfits they apparently borrowed from the Folies Bergères. Maia begins as a typically well-intentioned klutz, but she soon gets into the spirit of the agency and pursues malefactors in a bikini bottom and peekaboo top. The chases, pratfalls, shoot-outs, and confrontations in Daphne all occur according to formula, but devotees of this type of hubba-hubba anime aren't likely to worry about niceties of plot construction or nuanced characterizations.

Identical twins give birth on same day
Published: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 12:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 12:30 p.m.
AKRON, Ohio - Aiden and Donavyn did not wait until New Year's Day to come screaming into the world, but the circumstances of their births are still pretty special: The babies were born about two hours apart to Ohio mothers who are identical twins.
The Akron Beacon Journal reports that the 19-year-old mothers — Aimee and Ashlee Nelson were not raised to do things alike and did not plan the births to come at the same time. In fact, their due dates were about a week apart.
But Donavyn Scott Bratten was born just after noon on the last day of 2012. Aiden Lee Alan Dilts made his appearance at about 2 p.m.
They were delivered by the same doctor at Summa Akron City Hospital.
