WTF ?? (Who That Flaying??) is the GLBM to save us
I am very impressed, great animation, crazy voice actuation (not bad), music ideal for the situation (I'm a big fan of Europe), and who were the characters when he received the green lazer sword??? ,. I'm sure they were the beatles (97%).
on average a terrific animation. I hope you made a second part, with more enemies, more rock music from the 80s, and most random moments because the people of NG love it ( can you include celebtritys easter eggs or some stuff like that) .
I see the animation every day, and vote 5/5
yea they were teh beatles... I'm glad u enjoyed it that much... i might make a GLBM 2 in the future haha. thx for the support man
wow! your animation is friginawesome. how about tubby bastard in animation? haha
Hahahah thanks, and who r u btw? And how do you know about the long lost tubby bastard?
: 3
liked awsome dont care wat oter piple say love it funny monster like de sword
domo arigato
kinda cool
I get a vibe of pop-culture parody - cool.
Dynamic execution with crazy voices - cool.
Didn't really enjoy the cliches and authors comments....

Woman Marries Her Dog (Seriously)
Uh, what? Yeah, this actually happened. Says the blushing bride (ew) Emily Mabou, 29: "For so long I've been praying for a life with a partner who has all the qualities of my dad. My dad was kind, faithful and loyal to my mum, and he never let her down."
Don't see how this translates into marrying your dog? Read on! Mabou claims that her relationships have all been with "skirt-chasers and cheaters." The priest who performed the ceremony told people not to mock the wedding, but instead "rejoice with her, as she has found happiness at last." Don't mock? Not likely, lady. (Though we get why some folks decide to marry their cats.)
When asked about her plans for babies, Maribou responded, "We'll adopt." Fantastic! Next story: Woman and Golden Retriever Adopt Twins. Gross. Weird. Disturbing. Any more adjectives we forgot?

1. Field Of Invention
This invention relates to the field of educational toys, particularly to one such toy which employs the matching of geometric shapes and which is suitable for very young children, and children with visual, and/or auditory, and/or developmental disabilities.
2. Description Of The Prior Art
Most children have used or are familiar with a "form board", i.e., a toy comprising a board with a plurality of different geometric holes or recesses, such as circular, square, and triangular, which is used by inserting corresponding mating male forms with matching geometric shapes into the respective recesses. The object of the toy is to teach children spatial or shape awareness by having them insert the male forms into the correct respective recesses.
While the form board has been used for many years in various arrangements, it suffered from a number of drawbacks. First, many children have very low interest in puzzles or challenges which involve the use of spatial abilities. Second, even if the child is interested, he or she will soon tire of the form board because it is soon learned and mastered and since it does not provide any useful reward other than the minimal satisfaction of inserting a form into a recess. Third, such form boards were not especially useable by visually and/or auditorily handicapped children since they could not have any visual or auditory verification that a proper match had been made.
Various commercial adaptations of the form board have been produced. In one, sometimes termed Montessori shapes and templates, a plurality of loose female templates were provided with a plurality of corresponding mating male forms. While this arrangement, and several minor variations of it, was used by children, it suffered from most of the aforementioned disadvantages common to most form boards.
Electrical versions of form boards have also been provided. In these, the child was given a plurality of forms or shapes and a form board with matching female recesses. Correct insertion of the male forms closed a switch, which in turn provided an auditory or visual feedback response. While an improvement on the basic form board, these electrical versions suffered from lack of versatility and flexibility. Thus they were soon mastered by most children, whereupon their use diminished greatly since they presented no further challenge to the children. Also, some were very complex in construction and operation, thus providing problems of high cost, complexity, reliability, and difficulty of use.
Accordingly several objects and advantages of the invention are to provide a new educational toy, to provide an educational toy which provides interest to children who do not normally like puzzles or spatial challenges, to provide an educational toy which can be rearranged so that even after initial mastery, it still can be made to have continuing utility, to provide an educational toy which provides an enjoyable reward to children upon successful operations of the toy, to provide such a toy which is simple, reliable, inexpensive, and easy to use, and to provide an educational toy which is very useful for visually and/or auditorily hadndicapped children. Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the accompanying drawings and ensuing description.

Overall: An educational toy according to the invention is shown in perspective view in FIGS. 1 to 3. It comprises a box or housing 10, a plurality of template (female) blocks 16, a corresponding plurality of mating male forms 20, and a toy figure 22 which is connected to box 10 by an electrical cord 24.
Box 10: Box 10 has a rectangular shape when seen from the top. The sides of box 10 are about 33 cm by 26 cm and its height is about 7 cm. Box 10 may be made of metal, wood, or plastic. An on/off switch 27 is mounted on box 10.
The top surface of the box has a recess 12 (FIGS. 2 and 3) about 13 mm deep as defined by an outer rim or ridge 14. Recess 12 is slightly smaller in its plan view than box 10; thus it occupies most of the area of the box. Ridge 14 thus combines with recess 12 to form a tray on and integral with the top of the box, but the tray (recess 12 and ridge 14) may be provided separately from box 10.
Templates 16: Positioned in recess 12 are twelve female blocks or templates, such as 16, each of which is about 76 mm square and about 38 mm thick. Templates 16 are shown in FIG. 1 arranged in four rows of three each. The twelve templates, when all positioned in recess 12, occupy substantially all of the area of the recess or tray but have enough clearance with the sides of the tray so that any template can be removed easily. In accordance with the invention, any number of templates, from one (FIG. 2), to four (FIG. 3), to all twelve (FIG. 1), can be located in recess 12. Templates 16 are made of wood or plastic. Each template has a through hole, such as 18, of a unique shape. The through holes, as indicated, have the following shapes: circular, square, rectangular, triangular, diamondlike, pentagonal, oval, trapezoidal, curved sector, star, etc. Each hole has approximately the same area, which is about 1/3 to 1/2 the area of the template.
Form Blocks 20: Corresponding to respective holes 18 in blocks 16 are twelve form blocks, such as 20; blocks 20 have the same shapes, in their plan views, as respective holes 18. Each block is about 76 mm in height; thus when a block is inserted in its respective hole, it will protrude up about 76 mm. Blocks 16 and holes 18 are shaped such that each block can be inserted into only one hole, i.e., its mating hole.
Toy 22: An animated toy animal, shown as a loveable bear 22, is connected electrically to box 10 by a two-wire electrical cord 24 and a two-contact connector 26 which is mounted on box 10. Bear 22 contains its own battery, motor, and sound reproducer, such that when switched on, as will be described below, bear 22 will emit sounds, e.g., a musical tune, and will simultaneously move its arm so as to wave a flag 28, as indicated thereat.
The toy of FIGS. 1 to 3 is used in the following manner.
FIG. 2: To start the child and familiarize him or her wih the toy's operation, the toy is arranged in its simplest format with one template 16 located in a corner of recess 12, as indicated in FIG. 2. The child is then shown how to insert a matching form 20 into the hole in the single template. Upon insertion, bear 22 will be electrically activated (operation described infra) so as to move and emit sounds for a brief period, about 10 seconds, to indicate to the child that he or she has inserted the form into the template correctly. Since bear 22 both moves and emits sounds, its activation will be perceptible to both visually and auditorily handicapped children. If a child is both deaf and blind, he or she can perceive activation of bear 22 by feel.
Once the child has mastered operation of the arrangement of FIG. 2, the toy can be rearranged so as to make it increasingly difficult to use.
First, the single template 16 in recess 12 can be moved to different locations in recess 12. As will be described infra, it is necessary, for the toy to operate correctly, that template 16 be located in one of the twelve discrete locations in recess 12, as shown in FIG. 1. This can be easily accomplished by locating the template in one of the four corner locations (shown in FIG. 3), or by providing a twelve-part gridwork of small guide ridges or subrecesses (not shown) on the floor of recess 12 to guide placement of the single template. When the single template is in one of the twelve possible locations of FIG. 1 and its form is inserted, bear 22 will be activated for about 10 seconds, as before.
Once the child has learned to insert the form block into the single template at any of the twelve locations, the template (except for those which are radially symmetric--such as the circle) may be rotated to up to three new orientations (90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees). This will demonstrate the generalizability of certain geometric spatial relations to the child.
Next, when the child masters various locations and orientations of the single template, the toy can be made more difficult by using a single template, but by giving the child a choice of several forms 16 instead of a single correct one. The child will then have to choose the correct form so that it can be inserted into the single template, whereupon the bear will be activated.
FIG. 3: The next level of difficulty will be the use of two templates and one form. Once mastered, either or both template(s) may be rotated to present a varitation of the task. Then two templates and two forms can be used, and so on. FIG. 3 illustrates use of four templates and four forms. The level of difficulty can be increased beyond FIG. 3 by rotating some of the template blocks, by using more than four forms, then four forms and more than four templates, etc.
FIG. 1: The child is worked gradually up to the level of FIG. 1 where twelve templates and twelve forms are used.
When the child masters the level of difficulty of the arrangement of FIG. 1, the difficulty level can still be increased even further, in accordance with the invention, by rearranging the templates in the tray. Hundreds of different arrangements are possible since each template can be placed in any of twelve possible locations, and for each location most template blocks can be rotated to up to four different orientations as aforedescribed. Thus the presence of twelve templates provides a virtually-inexhaustable variety of challenges.
Refer to FIG. 4, which is a partial, cross-sectional view of part of the top of box 10 showing a cross-section of one form 20 and one template 16. The toy operates through the use of magnets, such as 30, in the base of each form 20, which operate mating magnetically-sensitive (reed) switches, such as 32, underneath the floor of recess 12. When form 20 is inserted into hole 18 in template 16, its magnet 30 will come close enough to reed switch 32, which is under the floor of recess 12 and under the center of template 16, to actuate the reed switch. I.e., magnet 30 will cause the contacts of reed switch 32 to close when form 20 is inserted into its template 16. Upon closure of the contacts of switch 32, an electrical circuit (FIG. 7) will in turn be actuated, causing toy 22 (FIG. 1) to operate for a brief interval.
As shown in FIG. 5, which is a view of the underside of box 10 with its bottom plate (FIG. 6) removed, there are twelve magnetically-sensitive reed switches, such as 32, positioned at evenly-spaced locations under the floor of recess 12. Each reed switch is positioned under the center of one of the twelve template locations shown in FIG. 1. Thus when a template is in the proper location, and its form is inserted completely into such template far enough to reach the floor of recess 12, magnet 30 in the bottom of the form will actuate switch 32.
Each form 20 is made with a magnet 30 in its base, the magnet being positioned as close to the bottom of the form as possible. This is done by fabricating form 20 with a recess (not shown) in its bottom, the recess being slightly larger than the magnet. Then magnet 30 is inserted in the recess and the remainder of the recess is filled with a potting compound, such as epoxy. Magnet 30 preferably comprises a stack of five sintered powdered iron magnets, each about 6.4 mm high and 12 mm in diameter, so that the stack is about 12 mm in diameter and about 32 mm high. The magnets in the stack have been magnetically charged so that one pole (either N [North] or S [South]) is at the top and the other pole is at the bottom, the polarization being immaterial--the North pole being shown at the top in FIG. 4 for examplary purposes.
Each reed switch 32 is positioned under the floor of recess 12, in contact with the underside of such floor so as to be as close as possible to its mating magnet 30 when the form is fully inserted. The reed switches may be mounted with non-magnetic clamps or epoxy. They are all connected in electrical parallel, as indicated in FIGS. 5 and 7.
As also shown in FIG. 5, box 10 also contains a battery of cells 37, which in the preferred example comprise five "D" cells, to provide a 7.5-volt supply. Box 10 also contains wiring 38, a circuit board 40, the rear side of connector 26, and the rear side of on/off switch 27.
The bottom of box 10 is covered by a bottom plate 34, as shown in FIG. 6. Plate 34 may be made of metal or plastic and has four rubber non-skid feet 36 mounted thereon to keep the unit steady in use.
The timing circuit which operates toy 22 for a brief interval upon insertion of a form into a matching template is mounted on board 40 of FIG. 5 and is shown in detail in FIG. 7. Note that component values are indicated in FIG. 7.
The negative side of battery of cells 37 is connected in parallel to the lefthand terminals of the twelve reed switches 32 and to a ground line 42. The positive side of battery 37 is connected to one side of on/off switch 27, the other side of which is connected to a positive supply line 44.
Positive supply line 44 is connected to the upper side of a first resistor R1, the lower side of which is connected to terminal 2 of an integrated circuit timer IC1.
The right side of each reed switch 32 is connected to terminal 2 of IC1 via a respective isolation network. For simplification, only one network, N1, is shown; it comprises a parallel R-C circuit and a series diode. The other eleven networks are indicated by arrows N2 to N12 and a broken line between N1 and connector N12.
The other terminals of IC1 are connected as follows: Terminals 4 and 8 are connected to line 44. Terminal 1 is connected to ground line 42. Terminals 6 and 7 are connected to the lower side of a second resistor R2 and to the upper side of an electrolytic timing capacitor C1. The upper side of R2 is connected to line 44 and the lower side of C1 is connected to ground. Terminal 3 of IC1 is connected to the coil of a relay 46.
The other side of the coil of relay 46 is connected to ground line 42. The coil is paralled by a transient-supressing capacitor C2. The switch terminals of relay 46 are normally open but close when the relay's coil is energized. These terminals are connected to line 24 which is connected (via connector 26--not shown in FIG. 7) to toy 22.
Toy 22 is represented by a box containing a motor (M) and sound generator (S) and a series-connected battery with two output leads 24. Such toys are widely available in many different forms such as dogs, bears, etc. They contain a battery and switch (not shown) which connects the battery to a motor whch moves one part of the creature and a sound generator, which emits sounds. To use such a toy with the invention, leads 24 are connected across its switch (not shown) such that shorting of leads 24 will turn on the toy, just as if such switch were closed. A motor-shunting diode D2 shunts leads 24.
In its ready state, with switch 27 turned on and the circuit energized, terminal 2 of IC1 will be at a potential of 7.5 V due to its connection to line 44 via R1. This will cause IC1 to be "off" so that it will provide a ground voltage on its output terminal 3. As a result no current will flow through the coil of relay 46. The switch terminals of relay 46 will thus be open, causing leads 24 to be open also. As a result toy 22 will be off.
Now assume that any one of reed switches 32 is closed by bringing a magnet 30 in proximity thereto, i.e., by insertion of a form block 20 into the hole in its correct mating template 16. As a result, the potential of terminal 2 of IC1 will be lowered, causing IC1 to be actuated.
This will cause IC1 to provide a positive output voltage to its terminal 3. This will cause current to flow through the relay's coil, causing the relay's switch terminals to close. leads 24 will thus be shorted together, thus turning on toy 22 and providing a "reward" or positive feedback to the child who inserted the correct form in the template.
At the same time IC1 will allow C1 to begin to charge. When it charges sufficiently, it will turn IC1 off in well-known fashion, whereupon IC1 deenergizes the relay's coil. As a result, the contacts within relay 46 will open, causing toy 22 to turn off. As is well known, toy 22 can be made to operate for longer or shorter periods by adjusting the size of C1 or R2.
While the above description contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, but merely as an example of the presently-preferred embodiment thereof. Many variations of the invention are possible.
For example the number of templates can be varied, their external shapes can be varied (e.g., triangular, hexagonal, etc., rather than square), their through-hole shapes can be varied, their sizes and materials can be varied, the type of feedback can be changed from a moving, sounding toy to lights, moving parts, and other sounds, or a combination thereof, the circuit can be changed to other types of timing circuits, such as a monostable multivibrator, plunger switches can be used in lieu of magnetic switches, the templates can be temporarily attached to the box, the templates can be mounted in the tray in a captivating manner with one template removed, as in the familiar rearrangeable number tile game, the tray switches can be operated by interrupting or reflecting back a light beam, a different, more powerful indication (such as intense lights, sounds, and/or movements) can be provided when all forms have been inserted into all of the respective templates, a hierarchical reward system can be provided for indicating correct insertion of successive form blocks, the timing circuit can be eliminated and a manual reset switch can be provided, a mechanical timer can be provided, the toy or other indicating device can be made to provide other sensible indications, such as palpable, smellable, tasteable, the device can be mounted outside the box, etc.
Accordingly the full scope of the invention should be determined, not by the examples given, but by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.

Match Report: Fernando Torres goal saves Rafael Benitez from sinking in Brentford's quicksand
Brentford 2 Chelsea 2
Glenn Moore
Glenn Moore is Football Editor for The Independent and a Uefa B licence holder.
Griffin Park
Monday 28 January 2013
From the moment that Chelsea were forced to enter the Griffin Park pitch through a guard of honour of ball boys it was clear this was to be an uncomfortable day for the FA Cup holders and so it proved with League One Brentford twice poised to despatch them.
In the end a brace of equalisers from Oscar and Fernando Torres enabled the European Champions to avoid a humiliating exit and with no players sent off and no ball-boys harmed it turned into a relatively quiet afternoon by their standards.
It might easily have been different. Ross Turnbull received the benefit of the doubt from referee Jon Moss when he brought down Tom Adeyemi in the box, and Torres's goal came just seven minutes from time.
And yet Chelsea might well have won, Moss somehow missing a clear handball by Harlee Dean in injury-time. That would have been harsh on their League One opponents. Uwe Rosler's team of young talents discarded by bigger clubs, guided by a few older heads, outplayed the Premier League side for long periods on a heavily-sanded, gluepot pitch.
Interim manager Rafael Benitez preferred Torres to Demba Ba, rested Juan Mata, recalled John Terry and gave Marko Marin another chance on the right. With Ryan Bertrand advanced on the left this gave him a front three consisting of two players woefully out of form and an out-of-position left-back. It showed. Though Chelsea were the sharper team in the early stages they had no attacking threat. Once Brentford realised they would not be swept away they began to get the ball down and play themselves.
Helped by a strong wind at their backs, the central midfield trio of Adam Forshaw, Toumani Diagouraga and Jonathan Douglas pressed Ramires and Frank Lampard back and the Bees took control.
The main threat was on the left where Harry Forrester combined well with Shaleum Logan. Forrester had blasted over when Turnbull bizarrely conceded a free-kick by picking up Terry's back-pass, and did not always choose the right option, but his skill and pace troubled Branislav Ivanovic and Gary Cahill. Three times he threatened Turnbull and on the fourth he stuck gold, the goalkeeper only managing to shovel his shot out to Marcello Trotta, who lashed the rebound back. Cue joys for supporters of Brentford – and Fulham, from whom Trotta is on loan.
Marin was hauled off at the break and Mata asked again to rescue his team. Chelsea, who now had the wind in their favour, did begin to establish some control and 10 minutes into the half Oscar, showing delightfully quick feet in the box, levelled. Chelsea looked set to push on and secure a passage to the fifth round but with 20 minutes left Adeyemi, whose previous association with the FA Cup had been unhappy (he was racially abused at Anfield playing for Oldham) came on.
Almost immediately he went clear and tumbled over Turnbull's clumsy challenge. Referee Moss decided it was a penalty, but, to the displeasure of Rosler, just a yellow card. "My impression is a goalscoring opportunity was denied. We know what that means," said Rosler.
Forrester stepped up and scored in front of the Chelsea fans. "I had a little look at them to soak up the moment, then picked my spot," he said. "It is one of those moments that will stay with me forever."
The Chelsea fans called for Ba. Benitez changed right-backs prompting chants of: 'You don't know what you're doing'.
"We know what we are doing," said Benitez afterwards, adding that he wanted fresh legs to produce more width. Indeed Bertrand soon headed over from a Cesar Azpilicueta cross.
Benitez also pointed to the game-changing introduction of Mata as an example of his tactical acumen and said of Ba: "I left it as the team was doing well. We were in control and on top of things. When you are doing well you cannot change too many things."
Ba finally came on, ostensibly to play on the left, with eight minutes remaining. He soon drifted inside and was involved in the move which ended with Torres curling a lovely shot past Simon Moore for his first goal in nine matches.
Brentford were happy to take a draw but Chelsea wanted a winner and might have had it had Moss seen Dean block Mata's cross with his arm. With Frank Lampard on the pitch that would probably have been curtains for Brentford though Moore did make a superb penalty save against Leyton Orient in midweek.
"It was a very clear penalty," said Benitez, "but it was also very clear we did not perform in the first half." He did not, however, see any reason to feel relieved as: "I was really pleased with the reaction of the team in the second half."
Such are Chelsea's fixture commitments the replay – Brentford's first match at Stamford Bridge since 1946 – will be held on the weekend of the fifth round, 16-17 February. In the meantime Chelsea have a Champions League place to chase and Europa League campaign to pursue, while Brentford focus on their League One promotion challenge with matches against Yeovil, Bury and Stevenage.

Topic: Non-Natives, Pruning, Trees
Title: Pruning smoketree in New Jersey
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:How far from ground level do I prune a relatively young Smoke tree to get the bush effect?
This is a classic example of really needing the Latin name for a plant, because common names can be given to totally different plants in different places. We started out by looking in our Native Plant Database for "smoke tree" or "smoketree." First, we looked at Cotinus obovatus (American smoketree), which, of course, in Texas we call a "Texas Smoketree." This tree only occurs in a few Southern and Southwestern states and is not shown in the USDA Plant Profile as appearing in New Jersey at all. Next on the natives list was Psorothamnus spinosus (smoketree), which is hardy to USDA Zones 9 to 11, common to desert washes of southern part of California, Arizona and Baja California. Spiny, nearly leafless shrub or small tree and is also known under the synonym Dalea spinosa. Scratch that one. Not only is it really not an ornamental you would be interested in raising, but it would probably freeze to death by October in New Jersey.
Since those were the only two plants known by that common name in our database, we went Googling and found Cotinus coggygria, (Smoke tree) which is native to Southern Europe and Central China, and is hardy to Zone 5 or a protected spot in Zone 4. Since a non-native is out of our range of expertise, we found this Floridata site which can give you more complete information. As it is in the same genus, Cotinus, as the native listed above, you would probably be safe in just letting it develop naturally. It actually would take pruning to keep it from appearing bush-like. They usually develop multiple trunks, with leafing no more than 2 feet above the soil. Refer to these Images for more guidelines on how the bush grows.

Facebook's mobile advertising success returns shares to debut $38 stock price for the first time since going public in 2012
Facebook came within a hair of reclaiming its $38 debut stock price on Tuesday for the first time since going public in 2012.
The stock surged more than 40 percent in the past week after the company reported blowout quarterly results that showed Facebook's progress in building a mobile advertising business.
The social network, with 1.15 billion users, has never traded at or above $38 since its initial public offering in May 2012.
Thumbs up! Following successful work on mobile advertising Facebook virtually reached its $38 debut stock price on Tuesday for the first time since going public in 2012
So this is a milestone in the social networking company's effort to wipe away Wall Street's skepticism of its business.
Shares of Facebook climbed as much as 7 percent to $37.96 in heavy trading on Tuesday, before settling back to finish the regular session at $37.63.
Facebook's market value was cut in half in the months following the IPO as concerns about issues ranging from slowing revenue to massive insider selling made the Internet company's stock a Wall Street punch line.
'Most companies of that size don't re-accelerate their growth rate. Facebook's been an exception,' said Aaron Kessler, an analyst with Raymond James.
'I would say they're in better shape today than they were at the IPO price and the stock is still below that,' he said.
Facebook options volume was frenzied on Tuesday, as overall turnover was 3.8 times the recent daily average, according to options analytics firm Trade Alert.
Something to smile about: Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is allowed a grin after his company's impressive recent performance
Traders on Tuesday exchanged 694,000 calls and 300,000 puts on Facebook.
Facebook's recent success building a mobile advertising business - an area where many of its rivals have struggled - and the online service's expanding number of daily users have won back investors' respect and confidence in its prospects.
That has fueled a rebound in the shares, which are up more than 50 percent in July.
Facebook said last week its mobile advertising revenue grew 75 percent in a span of three months, trouncing analyst targets and delivering the company's strongest revenue growth since the third quarter of 2011.
Many analysts raised their price targets above the $38 level following Facebook's quarterly report last week.
The second quarter results 'were really a game-changer in terms of how Facebook is perceived on the Street,' said Pacific Crest Securities analyst Evan Wilson. 'It was pretty close to the perfect quarter.'
Heady heights: Facebook stock was listed at $38 since public offering in May 2012. It has never traded at that price since
Facebook announced plans on Tuesday to help market and distribute mobile games on its social network in exchange for a cut of revenue that the games generate, raising hopes that the company could tap a new business.
And many investors expect Facebook to offer high-priced video ads in the coming months.
Created in a Harvard dorm room by CEO Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, Facebook become the first American technology company to debut on Wall Street valued at more than $100 billion.
Facebook's IPO was to have been the culmination of eight years of breakneck growth for a company that became a social and cultural phenomenon.
Instead, it was marred by a series of trading glitches on its debut, and the company and its underwriters subsequently faced accusations of pumping up the price and inadequate disclosure.
Boost: The social network has performed well recently. The second quarter results 'were really a game-changer in terms of how Facebook is perceived on the Street,' said one analyst. 'It was pretty close to the perfect quarter.'
Facebook shares opened 11 percent above the $38 offering price on May 18, 2012.
But a series of problems that plagued the Nasdaq Stock Market where the shares debuted contributed to a sharp fall in the stock after it peaked that day at about $45. It closed at $38.23, and on the following Monday shares fell through the $38 price.
By early September, Facebook's shares bottomed at $17.55.
The cool investor reception to Facebook and other consumer dotcom debutantes at the time, such as Groupon Inc to Zynga Inc, put a chill on the Silicon Valley IPO train.
'The question has never been do a lot of people go to Facebook. The question is how much revenue and profitability can Facebook derive from that activity,' said Pacific Crest's Wilson.
'There have been many that have questioned whether or not Facebook would grow significantly, but Q2 kind of erased that doubt,' he said, referring to Facebook's business.

Protecting your nest egg
28 November 2014 , 2:25 PM by Rob Minshull | Comments (0)
Retirement is difficult emotionally and a stressful time when it comes to finance.
So what is the best and most effective way to reduce expenses in retirement without it affecting superannuation? What kind of benefits are available and how do they affect the pension?
Financial planner Olivia Maragna is from Aspire Retire Financial Services.

Ruling Party MP: New Bulgaria State Budget Is Conservative
Bulgaria's draft state budget for 2013 is rather conservative, rather than upping spending pre-election, according to ruling center-right GERB party PM Menda Stoyanova.
"It's actually a rather boring budget, and its macroframework is quite frugal," commented for the Bulgarian National TV Stoyanova, who is chair of the Parliament's Committee on Finance.
The GERB MP was reacting to accusations that cabinet is uping social spending just ahead of general elections in the summer of 2013.
She also defended the level of revenue provided for in the draft, as well as the 1.2% GDP growth it forecasts.
However, Stoyanova said that revenue for 2013 has not been calculated on the basis of previewed GDP.
Further, she supported the idea first voiced by Bulgarian Minister of Finance Simeon Djankov to introduce a new tax to be levied on bank interest.

New route set for MHS homecoming parade
As Mukwonago High School students get ready to "Party 'til the end of time" for the 2012 homecoming, residents will see a change in the route for Friday's homecoming parade.
The parade will begin on Meadowview Lane, then heads south to Macarthur Drive, east to Rochester Street, south to Oakland Avenue, east to Division Street, and south to to the Mukwonago Community Library at Division and Washington.
Daily activities build up to the homecoming game against Waukesha South at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5.
Junior and senior girls suit up for the powder puff game at 7 p.m. Wednesday on the MHS football field. Admission is free to this community event, but bringing a canned item is suggested.
Thursday features the bonfire and car smash at 7 p.m. on the practice field as the MHS football team trashes a car decorated with the Waukesha South school colors.
Students will test their strength in a tug-of-war among all four classes; the winners will face the teachers during the pep rally at 2:30 p.m. Friday in the north gym.
Student groups will spend Friday building floats for the parade.
Homecoming court will be announced during Friday's pep rally, with the king and queen crowned at the formal dance, slated for 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday at Mukwonago High School. Advance tickets, sold during lunch hours, are $20. Tickets at the door are $40. Students must present their student identification for admission to the dance.

Comments Thread For: Joel Diaz on Bradley's Return, Gamboa PEDs, Khan-Diaz
On Tuesday afternoon, I caught up with Indio, Calif.-based trainer Joel Diaz.
Known best for his work with WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley, Diaz actually reached out to make mention of his younger brother Julio.
Last month in Los Angeles, Julio defied the odds in going tooth and nail against undefeated welterweight contender Shawn Porter, eventually settling for split-draw verdict after ten brisk rounds.
Having held portions of the lightweight championship on two separate occasions in the past, the 33-year-old Julio had been written off by many heading into the contest but showed skill and fortitude in pushing Porter to the limit.
Joel would love nothing more than to see his brother face off with British star Amir Khan, who is actively pursuing a suitable opponent for his April 20th return.
Speaking with Joel, he highlighted why Julio is deserving of the match with Khan while also giving his take on Bradleys scheduled March 16th return as well as the recent PED scandal involving standout Cuban talent and former featherweight champion Yuriorkis

So this dude thinks Gamboa is on PED not just cause of the article but cause he spars bigger guys? He's a trainer he should know people spar bigger guys all the time and 154 lbs ain't sh*t, Gamboa walks around 160. Now if you tell me he was hurting LHW or some sh*t or HW like Mr Golovkin then let's talk about that. But 154 fkin lbs? Come on man.
Golovkin is the G.O.A.T!

Diaz says "these promoters won't work with each other".... Nah bro, top rank burns bridges and what happens is golden boy is under no obligation to help out any of there fighters, maybe Bradley should have thought of that before signing with top rank...
For the longest arum was able to lure fighters away cause he waved the pacquiao carrot in their face and these fighters never thought about anything past that (ie Bradley).. Schaeffer let arum do that meanwhile signing the complete 140-147 lb div right under their noses... Before you know it golden boy controls those divisions and not arum is screwed..
Truth is any fighter in that division would be dumb not to sign with gb, like Peterson said," they got the fighters "

I have nothing against Diaz, but I think its funny how he says his brother should have won his last fight instead of receiving a draw, yet he truly believes Bradley actually won against Pacquiao lol

March 16? That's not much notice. He must be training already without an opponent. Hopefully they get him one soon.

Jets' Heisinger uninjured after run-in with moose
EDMONTON -- Winnipeg Jets assistant GM Craig Heisinger was more than happy to be present for his team's Tuesday night's NHL season opener at Rexall Place.
And for more than just a fresh start to the hockey cycle.

Late Saturday night, Heisinger and St. John's IceCaps director of hockey operations Brad Andrews were in a vehicle that collided with a moose on their way back to St. John's after an AHL exhibition game in Clarenville, N.L.
Neither the moose nor Andrews' vehicle fared very well, but Heisinger and Andrews walked away without a scratch.
"Both Brad and I are completely fine," Heisinger, who holds the title as IceCaps' GM, said Tuesday. "Everyone tells us we're lucky to be fine."
On the two-hour drive after the game with Andrews at the wheel, the two came around a highway curve and found the moose walking in the middle of the road.
"We were just coming around a corner and it was walking right in the middle. It was perfectly clear out. One minute there was nothing, the next it was right in front of us."
The two men were in the vehicle for a few minutes after the collision.
"The frame was bent and the doors wouldn't open or the windows, so we had to break our way out of it," Heisinger said. Help arrived quickly.
"There was a lady who had been driving the other way and she had passed the moose and had seen it on the road," Heisinger said. "She said she had hoped nobody would come along the other way but when she saw us, she said she knew we'd hit it. So she called 911 and it was a pretty quick response."
Always quick with a one-liner, Heisinger couldn't resist the natural quip: "Imagine if my demise had come because of a moose," he said.
