Divided and this application May 2, 1950, Serial No. 159,813
3 Claims. 1
This application is a division of the copending application of Robert Adler, Serial No. 793,892, filed December 26, 1947, assigned to the present assignee, and relates to piezo-electric transducers and to methods for producing such transducers. It is a primary object of the invention to provide an improved artificial transducer having permanent piezo-electric properties and to provide an improved method of producing such a transducer.
The use of polycrystalline aggregate such as barium titanate or barium strontium titanate, bonded with a ceramic binder, in the production of artificial piezo-electric transducers is specifically disclosed and claimed in the copending application of Walter L. Cherry, Jr., Serial Number 770,163, filed August 22, 1947, for Piezo-.
Electric Transducers, and which application is assigned to the same assignee as the present application.
Such artificial piezo-electric transducers as are specifically disclosed in the aforementioned copending Cherry application are particularly useful for high frequency applications. However, for optimum coupling, the direction of mechanical stress must be identical with that of the piezo-electric axis and that of the alternating field; consequently transducers of this type are not readily applicable to audio frequency devices. The minimum frequency at which such transducers may be operated is determined by the maximum capacitance, or electrical compliance, commensurate with practical values of mechanical compliance. If the mechanical compliance is made large enough to suit practical requirements by making the cross-sectional area small, the associated capacitance is too small for audio frequency applications. If, on the other hand, a practical value of capacitance is obtained by making the cross-sectional area large, the mechanical compliance becomes inconveniently small.
It is a particular object of this invention to provide an improved artificial piezo-electric transducer which/is suitable for operation at audio frequencies;
In accordance with the above-identified Adler application, it has been found that the capacitance or electrical compliance of the artificial transducers may be increased while maintaining a practical value of mechanical compliance by varying the direction of the piezo-electric axis within a single-unit transducer. It is a further object of the invention to provide a novel ceramic transducer, sensitive to bending stress, which utilizes this principle.
Frequent applications of piezo-electric transducers in the audio frequency range are made in phonograph pickups, microphones, and the like. In such applications, it is necessary to provide a transducer which has permanent piezoelectric properties with respect to bending stress. It is an important object of the present invention to provide a novel piezo-electric polycrystalline aggregate transducer, sensitive to bending stress, which is suitable for use as a phonograph pickup or the like, and which is rugged, inexpensive, and durable.
In the specification and claims, the term direction, as applied to the piezo-electric axis or to the polarizing field, includes the concept of sense; therefore the phrase "piezo-electric axes having different directions includes a piezo-electric axes of opposite sense.
The term unidirectional, as applied to polarizing fields, is employed with reference to time, and not with reference to space. Hence a "unidirectional polarizing field is one which is produced by a unidirectional potential difference.
The terminology polycrystalline aggregate is employed to connote a unitary structure comprising a large number of minute crystals. The term ceramic necessarly implies such a structure.
The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are set forth particularly in the appended claims. The invention may more readily be understood, however, by reference to the folowing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals indicate like elements, and in which:
Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a theoretical means for attaining the objects set forth above.
Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a practical method for approximating the theoretical optimum condition shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an enlarged view of a section of Figure 2 showing the electrostatic fiux distribution.
Figure 4 is a schematic representation, partly in section, of a ceramic element sensitive to bending stress.
Figures 5 and 6 are schematic representations of an embodiment constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figures 7-9 are schematic representations of another type of ceramic transducer sensitive to bending stress.
Figure is a perspective view of a physical embodiment of the invention.
Referring now to Figure 1, there is shown schematically a slab of piezo-electric material, the direction of the piezo-electric axis being assumed to be longitudinal. It is seen that the mechanical compliance in the longitudinal direction may well be high enough to suit practical requirements, since the cross-sectional area is small relative to the length, but the capacitance between electrodes located on the small'surfaces 2i and 22 separated by the full length of the piece 20 is inconveniently small. In order to increase the capacitance or electrical compliance, it is assumed that slab 28 is theoretically divided into n slices 23-42 of equal length; the dotted lines indicate any desired number of intermediate slices. The capacitance between the imaginary transverse surfaces of each slice is therefore n times that between the two end surfaces 2! and 22 of slab 28, while the mechanical compliance between surfaces 2i and 22 remains unchanged. Furthermore, by interconnecting alternate transverse faces of the imaginary slices 23-32, as shown, and by connecting each set of alternate transverse faces to one of a pair of terminals 88 and 24, the total capacitance between surfaces 2| and 22 is made equivalent to n times the capacitance between the end faces of an individual imaginary slice 23; consequently the effective capacitance between surfaces 2! and 22 is increased by a factor of n.
Ideally such a-condition may be accomplished by polarizing adjacent slices 28-32 along the same axis but in opposite directions. Such a condition is shown schematically by the arrows which indicate the direction of polarization, and hence the direction of the piezo-electrlc axis, in each of the imaginary slices.
It has been found that permanent pleas-electric properties may be induced in certain polycrystalline aggregates, and furthermore, that the direction of the piezo-electric axis induced in such aggregates is identical to that of the electrostatic flux set up by the polarizing fields. Consequently, such a condition as shown schematically in Figure 1 might be accomplished if suitable unidirectional polarizing fields could be set up between the transverse faces of each of the imaginary slices 23-32. Obviously, such a situation is impractical, since no electrodes exist on the imaginary transverse surfaces between the slices.
As a practical approach to the optimum condition shown in Figure 1, there is shown in Figure 2 a slab of suitable polycrystalline aggregate, such as a ceramic comprisi barium titanate or barium strontium titanate mixed with a small amount of a glass forming oxide and fired to vitrification in accordance with the aforementioned copending Cherry application, on opposite faces 4i and 42 of which have been disposed a plurality of electrical terminals or electrodes 43-44. For purpose of illustration, twelve terminals have been shown: however, other numbers of terminals may be employed. Alternate pairs of opposite terminals 43, ll, l1, 48, 5|, 52 and 45, 48, 49, 50, 53, 54 are interconnected and brought out to a pair of input terminals 55 and 56 respectively. when a unidirectional potential diflerence is applied between input terminals 55 and 58, adjacent portions of slab III are polarized in substantially opposite directions.
In order more fully to show and explain such polarization, there is shown in Figure 3 a detail view of a portion of slab 40 of Figure 2. The electrostatic flux distribution, and hence the direction of polarization, is assumed, for the purposes of explanation, to have a sense from to If then, it is assumed that input terminal 55 is the positive terminal and input terminal 58 is the negative terminal, the electrostatic field, and hence the direction of the piezo-electric axis, differs abruptly from portion to portion as schematically shown in Figure 3.
It is seen that the embodiment shown and described in conjunction with Figures 2 and 3 is only an approximation of the ideal shown and described in conjunction with Figure 1. Since those portions of the slab 40 of ceramic material which lie between opposite pairs of terminals, l1 and 48, for example, carry little or no electrostatic flux, these portions may be regarded as being waste portions." In order to effect a compromise between the desired effective increase in electrical compliance and a minimum of "waste material, it has been found that the width of the individual terminals 43-54 should be of the order of the thickness of the slab l8, and the distance between successive terminals, 41 and 49, for example, should be of the order of twice the thickness of the slab 40. These proportions are the result of practical experiment and are intended in no sense to be construed as limitations, as other proportions may be used with varying degrees of efficiency.
In certain audio frequency applications, it is 'desirable to employ a piezo-electric element which is sensitive to bending. Two elements, each formed in accordance with the method shown and described in connection with Figure 2, may be fastened together, by cement or in some other suitable manner, to provide such a dimorphic element. Such a configuration is shown in Figure 4, wherein a pair of elements 60 and 6| are fastened together to form a composite body 82. In operation one element 60 is instantaneously subjected to tensile stress while the other element 8! is instantaneously subjected to compressive stress, or vice versa. Therefore, care must be taken that elements 60 and iii are assembled and electrically connected in such a manner that the useful outputs of the individual elements are additive in the composite transducer 62.
While a transducer having permanent piezoelectric properties with respect to bending stress may be produced in the manner shown and described in conjunction with Figure 4, a simplified transducer of this type may be provided. In
accordance with the invention, an element sensitive to bending stress may be provided by properly applying polarizing fields to a single unitary polycrystalline aggregate body. Such an element is shown in Figure 5, wherein a unitary slab 18 of barium titanate or other suitable aggregate is provided with a plurality of electrical terminals or electrodes ll-82 similarly disposed along opposite faces 83 and 84. Alternate terminals H, 15, and 19 on face 83 and alternate terminals 14, I8, and 82 on face 84 are interconnected and brought out to an input terminal 85, and the remainder of the terminals 12, 13, I8, l1,
10 80, and 8| are interconnected and brought out to a second input terminal 86.
By applying a unidirectional potential differ-i ence between input terminals 85 and 86, unidirectional polarizing fields are applied between 1 successive terminals, II and 13, for example, on
s each face, 04 of slab I0. Furthermore, each terminal (H, for example) is oppositely polarized from the terminal (12, for example) which is directly opposite therefrom, and the polarizing fields between opposite pairs'of successive terminals ill, I and II, I4 for example) are opposite in sense. By these means, the direction or sense of the piezo-electric axis is made to differ abruptly from portion to portion throughout the single piece II in a manner similar to the piezoelectric axis distribution in a composite dimorphlc'element such as that shown in Figure 4.
After maintaining the polarizing fields for a suiiicient period of time at least to approach saturation of the piezo-electric eifect, such fields are removed, and the connections of terminals I I-fl are changed to insure additive outputs in response to bending. Slab I0 with terminals II-02 reconnected for proper output at terminals 00 and 08 is shown in Figure 6, in which alternate pairs of opposite terminals II, I2, I0, I0, 10, and 00, and I3, I4, TI, I0, 8|, and 02 are interconnected. Such an interconnection is desirable in order to minimize the shunt capacitance between output terminals 85 and 00 which effectively reduces the useful output of such a reducing any shunt capacitance across the output terminals. In this embodiment, a pair of polycrystalline aggregate bodies 90 and 0i are fastened together by cementing means 92 of low dielectric constant thereby to form a composite body. Cementing means 02 may comprise a layer of cementing material of low dielectric constant, although the desired results may be achieved by glazing slabs 00 and 0| and firing with the glazed sides in contact, by firing a "sandwich of three ceramic slabs, or by other suitable means. Opposite faces of the composite body are provided with a plurality of similarly disposed electrical terminals 93-98 and 99-404, alternate pairs of opposite terminals 83, 99, 95, MI, 91, I03, and 94, I00, 96, I02, 08, I04 being interconnected and brought out to a pair of input terminals I05 and I06 respectively. After polarizing in the usual manner, the terminal connections on one face of the composite body are reversed to insure additive outputs in response to bending, as shown in Figure 8, and terminals I05 and I06 become output terminals. Although opposite terminals (93 and 90, for example) have opposite polarities associated therewith, the thin layer of cementing material 92 so reduces the effective capacitance shunting the output that satisfactory operation is insured. The embodiment of Figures 7 and 8 is specifically disclosed and claimed in the copending application of Alexander Ellett, Serial No. 159,620, filed concurrently herewith, for Pie'zo-Eiectric Transducer and Method for Producing Same, and assigned to the present assignee.
While the embodiment shown in Figures '7 and 8 is formed by cementing bodies 90 and SI together before polarization, it is to be understood that the individual bodies 00 and SI may be polarized separately and then firmly united in such manner as to insure additive outputs in response to bending. Such a method is shown schematically in Figure 9, in which body .90 is separately polarized. Alternate terminals 93, 95, 91, and 94, 06, 90 are connected to respective input terminals I00 and I06. After polarization, two such bodies are cemented or otherwise fastened together to produce a composite body such as that shown in Figure 8.
It is also to be understood that, although pairs of terminals 03-404 have been shown connected in parallel, pairs of terminals may be connected In series in certain applications in which such connection is desirable.
As a variant of this embodiment, two slabs of polycrystalline aggregate such as slab 00 in Figure 9 may be provided each with electrical terminals differently disposed in such a way that, after polarization, such slabs may be fastened together in a manner similar to that shown and described in conjunction with Figure 4. In this way, objectionable shunt capacitance between the output terminals may be avoided without the use of low dielectric constant cementing means.
As a further variant, the composite body shown in Figures 7 and 8 maybe polarized with the terminals 93 I04 connected as in Figure 8, in which case the terminals 83-I04 are reconnected as shown in Figure 7 to insure additive outputs. In this manner, the shunt capacitance across the output is minimized by interconnecting opposite terminals.
There is shownin Figure 10 a phonograph pickup IIO constructed in accordance with the invention. The terminals III and H2 are shown in the form of a pairof intermeshing combs for efilcient polarization, and may be of silver paint or other suitable material applied by silk screen, vacuum evaporation, or other suitable process. In a practical application, the terminals applied on the back side (not shown) of element I I0 may be made in theform of a mirror image of those applied to the front side in order to minimize the undesired capacitance shunting the output. One end H3 of transducer 0 is firmly clamped in a bracket I I4, and the other end I I5 is provided with a rigid extension H0 so constructed and arranged that the edges I I1 and I I0 of transducer H0 and extension H0 all converge to a point H0. Lateralmotion at point I I9, which may be translated from the undulations of a record disk by means of a stylus II9' secured to extension H6 at point H9, then results in corresponding electrical output between terminals III and. H2; by making transducer IIO trapezoidal in shape, the conditions of a uniform-stress beam are approached.
While there .has been shown and described a certain preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be understood that numerous variations and modifications may be made, and it is contemplated, in the appended claims, to cover all such variations and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Netflix Bounces Back After Big Summer Loss
After losing nearly 800,000 customers over the summer, Netflix's numbers have jumped back up as they have regained nearly all of those customers.
After losing nearly 800,000 customers over the summer, Netflix's numbers have jumped back up as they have regained nearly all of those customers.
For those of you who dumped NetFlix when they raised their prices in favor of the cheaper Redbox, you are once again in for a price increase. The DVD rental company has also decided to raise their prices a little bit.
This morning, I ran across an article that listed the ten most rented movies from Netflix. As a movie lover, I was curious to see which flicks made the list. Most titles didn't shock me - with huge Hollywood names and couple golden statue owners, I can see each film garnering millions of rentals. This list did sneak in a few surprises, but I couldn't help noticing a few rental snubs!
After the big hit to the Netflix stock, the popular DVD rental company had to rethink it's strategy a bit. They have decided to rename their home delivery service and add the option of renting video games.
NetFlix is feeling the burn of their price hick now. As of yesterday they had lost over half a million subscribers and found their stock had dropped 60 percent.
AT&T was the first to drop unlimited data plans from their cell phone offerings, then Verizon followed suit. The next shoe has now dropped with AT&T now saying that they will throttle data speed on the top 5% of cell phone data users. So if you listen to Pandora at work or watch Law and Order on Netflix at the State Offices, you won't be for long.
If you're a Netflix user like me, you know you can enjoy a lot of movies and TV shows that are available on DVD to rent or buy. And the convenience of Netflix makes it easy to watch them for a low price each month. Now, Netflix is shifting gears and could change the face of entertainment.
Since Blockbuster and other movie rental places are all out of business now, when you want to watch a new movie, you have to rely on either Netflix or Redbox. It was announced earlier today that Redbox is going to start offering a subscription-based internet streaming service, which will greatly increase the rivalry between it and Netflix.

Playing for the Cause Helps Out Those in Need
By Joseph Hess
Way back in the 1980s, St. Louis punks had to rely on smeary fanzines, photocopied fliers, the New Wave Hotline and good old-fashioned word of mouth to find out which VFW hall, abandoned storefront or suburban basement was hosting their favorite bands. Information Age punks have it made: With the click of a mouse, they can plan their weekend, promote their shows, shoot the shit with like-minded souls and get the skinny on local bands.
The best place for local punks to (virtually) congregate is the St. Louis Punk Page (www.stlpunk.com), which tells you everything you could possibly want to know about the local punk scene, past and present. Jerome Gaynor created the popular site -- which gets more than 100,000 hits a month, thanks in part to its salty message boards -- and maintains it at his own expense. Now some of the bands he's helped are returning the favor in the inaugural STLPunk Heavyweight Championship. For a mere $8, you not only support the Web site but get to check out eleven -- count 'em, eleven! -- bands, ranging from the raunchy, impossibly charismatic garage punk of the Electric (pictured) to the high-energy skater punk of Split 77, from the classic Cali-styled punk of Ultraman (formed in 1986 and still going strong) to the ghoul-rock/horror-punk stylings of Crypt 33. The all-ages marathon starts at 4 p.m. and lasts until 1 o'clock the next morning. For more details, see www.stlpunk.com/benefit.asp.

|Jackson is supremely stoked to unveil the newest member of the Soloist™ family, the SLS3.
Released in fall 2008, the SLS3 also marks the appearance of a brand-new Jackson finish, Swirl Green. Further, the SLS3 complements its predecessor, the SLSMG, by offering dual Seymour Duncan® Zebra '59 passive pickups and shark-eye fingerboard inlays.
The SLS3 is also available in three other classic Jackson finishes—Black, Satin Black and Snow White. In addition to the new Swirl Green finish available for this guitar, Jackson fans can look for new colors on all import model guitars in late 2008.

Paint Can Trick-or-Treat Buckets
Remember how I told you everything we have (minus the basics) is in storage? That means all of our Halloween stuff, including the trick-or-treat buckets. The kids were pretty concerned about what they would put all of their candy in, so, it was time to make new ones!

Picture ABC Books
One of my absolute favorite things to make for my kids is Picture ABC Books. I make them each their very own book, and it is most definitely a treasured possession. In their book, each letter of the alphabet is represented by a picture of them or someone in our family, so it's not a only a great way to reinforce the ABC's, but also an adorable little mini memory book. This month is my twin boys' birthday, and it's their turn for this very special gift! My kids LOVE to see themselves in pictures. We snuggle up on the couch or in their bed at night, and it doesn't matter how many times they've seen the pictures, they always ask me a million questions---what, why, where.

Oh, how I love an organized drawer!! My spice drawer has been making me crazy lately. They were all in there neatly on their sides, but the different sizes and round shape made everything roll around and cause chaos. ☺ I decided that this week was time for a long and overdue makeover, and of course I turned to one of my favorite things to help me out...mason jars! They are the perfect size to fit in the drawer, and with the cute labels on top, it's super easy to find which spice I'm looking for. I love these Mason Jar Spice Containers! Isn't that lovely?

A couple of years ago I was looking for a cute little play kitchen table in our playroom, and realized that I had just the thing...an old end table that we weren't using anymore was just sitting gathering dust, and needed to be put to good use. So, I sprayed it white, and called it good. Fast forward those couple of years, and this poor table had been through the wringer. It desperately needed a fresh coat of paint, and a little pep put back into it. I'm also finally starting to decorate the playroom, so this would be one of the first projects to get me up and running. I LOVE how it turned out! The top of the table had a groove around the edges, creating a big square directly in the … [Read more...]

Bathroom very clean staff very flexible family feel
Everything! Great accommodation, super helpful staff, good wifi and the garden was fabulous. Breakfast was so many different cakes, all exceptionally tasty.
Nothing, it was super nice stay!
Big room Breakfast was varied with options for sweet and savory Friendly and helpful staff View from the garden
Poor shower pressure No heating option available as it's not really winter but cold for us No prior warning about parking and challenging road narrow condition
Receptionist meet me and drove with me to parking area behind the premises which was great as its a complicated one way system in Ragusa. Friendly and helpfull staff all round
The garden is to die for, with an amazing view over the valley. Went to have breakfast everyday there to enjoy the view. Had an afternoon siesta also everyday on loungers in garden
The two ladies who spoke with us were lovely and very helpful. Good tips of the area and surrounds. Our stay was perfect.
We were charged an extra 45€ for the 3 nights for a cot for our daughter. This was a bit unexpected although the cot provided was nice so not a huge deal for us
The garden, with its stunning views of Ragusa Superiore, the breakfast, with the variety of delicious fresh cakes and fruit. Comfortable room, air conditioning and fridge. Central location for exploring Ragusa Ibla on foot. Friendly young staff to welcome us and serve breakfast.
It was difficult to find; our local taxi driver had to get directions from the owners on the phone. We did not meet the owners at all in the 4 days we stayed, although they were helpful by email before our stay. Breakfast was advertised as from 7.30a.m. but in practice was not available till nearer 8am; this does restrict what you can do if you are using public transport (which is limited in this area)
The location is great. Rooms are spacious and clean.The garden is great and has spectacular views. The breakfast was really good (specially when had whilst enjoying the views in the garden). The staff was great (helped us with navigating Ragusa in our car, and the owner really made us feel welcome)
Nothing worth mentioning
We had a very nice 2 nights stay. The location is perfect for both sightseeing and restaurants. Even a 2 Michelin star Restaurant is just across the B&B. The apartment was big and the host welcoming. Cakes at breakfast were homemade and delicious.
Maybe a little bit hard to find for the first time as the main entrance is along the stairs connecting 2 streets.
I cancelled my booking for a hotel in Ragusa on the basis of the reviews this property had, I was so glad I did as I wouldn't have wanted to miss the opportunity to stay here. The map provided enabled us to find the property without too much difficulty and we were welcomed by Julia who was delightful. Julia provided us with so much useful information including a recommendation for a fantastic trattatoria and which beach to head for the following day. The bedroom was lovely as was the breakfast, it was in my opinion above average for accomodation in this price range. Having stayed in a lot of places in Italy this is up there as one of the best.
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The garden is something you have to see and wish we had more time to stay there and chill.
Just a little damp smell at the beginning but goes away when properly ventilated.
Excellent location in the heart of Ragusa Ibla. Well furnished room and amazing breakfast in the garden with a view of Ragusa. will definitely stay again.
Superb welcome Julia gave us a map of Ragusa, tips on where to eat, drink, get fabulous ice cream and got us on a walking tour that evening. Garden is sublime at sunrise and sunset and in fact at any time - my wife was serenely happy here. And yet 2 mins from Duomo and centre of town. Perfect!
Staff super nice and good English speaking
Hard to reach by navigation
Quirky rooms with all mod-cons, lovely garden and view over the valley and upper town. Staff very helpful.
No complaints, Ragusa is worth a visit as is the boutique hotel.
Good central position, 5 min walking distance to the Duomo. Very helpful and friendly staff. Nice large rooms, quiet and comfy. Good breakfast, with home made cake. View from the terrace is beautiful. Free parking available nearby but difficult to reach without the recommendation of the staff
Very nice property with friendly and helpful staff. Great value for money. Was a little hard to find but don't follow the GPS. Use the hotel's directions instead.
Fabulous location, great conversation, impressed all round.
Location; friendliness of all staff; beautiful garden; very nice breakfast: pretty much everything.
Perfect view, place, accommodation...
Garden for afternoon sun and drinks. Close to the cathedral & piazza Lovely friendly staff
Instructions for arrival could have been better (leave your luggage in car till you know which room you have to avoid carrying up and down stairs).
Excellent location right there in the centre of Ibla old town. The view from the garden is wonderful and the staff and rooms are first class. Highly recommended as a sightseeing base and for the beautiful town itself. Parking not a problem and the restaurants all close by.
lovely garden looking over rooftops of ragusa. central location in ragusa ibla
Spacious room. Pleasant garden. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy parking near reception.
lovely breakfast with very pleasant lady who spoke English and German. Nice terrace garden. Free parking close by.
A little hard to find if you miss the posted signs. The room was fine but quite small.

By Kevin Shalvey, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Facebook (FB) earnings rose for the first time since its IPO, but shares retreated late Wednesday as mobile user and ad growth slowed.
The social networking giant's adjusted fourth-quarter profit rose 13% to 17 cents a share. Analysts had expected a third straight quarter of flat earnings.
Revenue for Menlo Park, Calif.-based Facebook climbed 40% to $1.59 billion, edging views. Sales had grown 32% in each of the prior two quarters.
"We aren't operating to maximize our profits this year," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told analysts on Wednesday. "We're doing what we think is best... View Enlarged Image
"There were a lot of expectations, and they confirmed that it's a great quarter with a little bit of upside," said Wedge Partners analyst Martin Pyykkonen. "But it wasn't a crushing number."
Most on Wall Street were eying mobile advertising figures, as Facebook continues to refine its targeted ads for users on cellphones and tablets.
'Mobile First' Isn't Enough
Mobile revenue accounted for 23% of all ad sales at Facebook vs. 14% in Q3. But some views had been for at least 30%, or a less-specific "significant increase," as RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Mahaney expected.
"But we're really early in the mobile space and they have a good service, good sponsored stories and traction," said Pyykkonen. "It won't be a success overnight, so I'm happy with 23%."
Shares initially fell 10% after hours, but pared their late trading loss to about 4%. The stock rose 1.5% in the regular session.
Mobile monthly users grew 57% vs. a year earlier, a slowdown from Q3's 67% gain.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg told analysts on the post-earnings con ference call that Facebook is now a "mobile first" business and it will build new apps in 2013.
"We aren't operating to maximize our profits this year," he said. "We're doing what we think is best to grow our platform."
Analysts Still Bullish
Still, Zuckerberg said Facebook is building new multimedia mobile advertisements to add to the text-based ads it started posting in users' mobile "News Feed" in Q2 2012.
It's still "very early" for predictions on how much it will grow in the coming quarters, wrote JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth. But it does look like it's doing well so far, wrote Anmuth.
"We continue to believe that Facebook's ad platform is more differentiated in mobile than desktop," wrote Anmuth, who rates Facebook as overweight. "And the company will continue to push high-quality ads toward the mobile news feed."
Mobile revenue could top desktop revenue by 2014, Anmuth says.
Desktop advertising showed a "slight acceleration" in Q4, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Youssef Squali wrote in a post-earnings note. It grew 41% vs. 36% in Q3.
Total Facebook user growth slowed to 25%, to 1.06 billion. Year-over-year growth had been 26% in Q3 and 29% in Q2.
Facebook's adjusted operating profit margin was 46%, down from 55% a year earlier. That reflects heavier spending as the company takes product development seriously, says Pyykkonen.
Facebook earlier this month rolled out "Graph Search," a social search that analysts view as a challenge to Google (GOOG) Search.
Zuckerberg reiterated Wednesday that Graph Search is "not a Web search." But it could boost Facebook users in 2013, even though it doesn't yet have any monetization, he said.
"Down the line, if we do this well, this could become a meaningful business for us," he said.

Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
To those who are interested, I have a restored but not assembled pair of 1930-1931 Cadillac V-16 headlamps. They were purchased from an estate, they were triple chromed in full show quality in the 60's and they are perfect! No pits, waves, thin spots, or hazing. For the picture I have loosely assembled one headlamp, the curved glass lenses are NOS as far as I can tell, as well I have a pair of used original flat lenses. I bought these to keep instock to put on a traditional hotrod however they have been sitting in a tub in my house swaddled in bubble wrap and paper since I purchased them. I know how rare they are, and have never seen another set come onto the market. I couldnt force myself to run them, they need to be back coupled with the cadillac they belong on!
I am more than happy to ship them world wide (insured and properly packaged of course) as well I can email any other pictures that you need. Shipping will not be cheap, these lights are very large and very heavy. The price is open for discussion as usual but the chrome work of this quality as most know would cost you a small fortune!

Night night folks.
Oh! Nice plants bob
I would not prune again until mid summer when I would expect the hedge to be at least double it's current size. Possibly three times. I would prune only the sides and, even though small, would already be aiming at the top being narrower than the bottom.
By the summer of 2015 I would expect your hedge to be well on its way to your 5'. When your hedge exceeds height required start regular cutting of the top. A hedge should be wider at,the bottom...light to all parts of the hedge for good growth.....than at the top. Looks better too
A few years I planted a hedge.....escallonia....to separate a veg patch. They were not bare root but cheap in the clearance section of a local nursery. Bit root bound.....loosened roots prior to planting..... but otherwise healthy plants. They grew quickly and I followed the way I suggest above. This hedge is thick and looks good
Chris, is the area wet? Have they only recently started to suffer? I think they might be overwatered ....?
Susan, just to say Provado OR hot dip. Wasting your money if you hot dip after Provado.
Think they're usually biennial nut so sure you will see rapid growth in spring.
Berghill, how effective do you find the flame gun? Weeds in paths, for example,? Is it temporary or permanent kill?
Glad you are happy Bob. Woottens really are first rate. As you say, despatch is almost immediate and plants big enough to do their stuff well next year.Those "cheesy worsits"...corn starch ......disappear quickly in the compost heap. What plants did ??ou get.? Going in your new borders?
Nut ....going by memory, while back.....green leaves and purple staining and stems. I havent really got the right conditions and they disappeared after couple of years. If I grow them again I have a better site....viz., deeper, moister soil and protected against strong sun.
Not at all David. Understand totally. Wish I had better photography skills cos they go well with gardens, wildlife, etc.
Nut, shade and good moisture.
All that talk,of food is making me hungry.
Thanks David

Happily, it now seems to have landed on solid ground, with its best ensemble and most engaging stories in years.
Oct 28, 2010It's in the shooting's emotional reverberations that the show is regenerating after the past few hit-and-miss seasons.
Grey has been on long enough now that it has lost much of its erotic sizzle--McDreamy is edging toward Mcnappy--but the satisfyingly steady seventh season is a model of a hit that keeps fitting nee characters into the blueprint. [20 Dec 2010, p.41]
Unfortunately, the best bits of the premiere were the flashbacks to the finale, though their impact was watered down considerably in the context of an action-less storyline, filled with Grey's usual rambling pontifications.
Unfortunately, they've settled on far-too-easy and facile answers for the most part.
Score distribution:
Positive: 4 out of 6
Mixed: 0 out of 6
Negative: 2 out of 6
Oct 1, 2010After the season 6 finale of Grey's Anatomy I was extremely excited to see how Shonda would deal with the aftermath of heart wrenching tagedy. I am happy to say that I have not been disappointed. The premiere was simply amazing in every aspect imaginable. The flashbacks gave viewers insight to what happened in the two month time jump and fit very nicely into the episode as a whole. The most important thing that you get from the premiere is that everyone is not okay, despite their efforts to hide their pain. Derek thinks he's invincible, Lexie is breaking down, Alex is reverting to his old dark and twisty ways, Bailey had to leave for 2 month vacation, Cristina is avoiding her feelings, and Meredith is trying to fix everyone but herself. Everyone's problems aren't going to just go away overnight and thatswhat was so good about the premiere. Nothing was completely dealt with but the stage was set for future problems that are bound to arise. The premiere really managed to set the stage for the rest of the season and I for one am looking forward to the rest of the season and believe that Grey's is just as good as it has ever been.… Expand
Feb 26, 2013Grey's Anatomy is the best television show of the 21st century. The medical drama collaborates drama with romance, comedy and even a bit of medicine manages to get in the mix! The chemistry between the cast members is phenomenal especially the long-standing relationship between Ellen Pompeo's character Meredith Grey and Patrick Dempsey's character Derek Shepherd. They have a presence that makes the viewer feel warm and themselves as actors have an exceptional chemistry, personally two of my favourite actors. Also the friendship between Meredith and Sandra Oh's character Cristina is welcoming and comedic. It has a great storyline thanks to the amazing creator Shonda Rhimes.… Expand
Oct 11, 2010Just before the finale of season 6 I was ready to give up on this as I found it rather depressing and quite a step away from its earlier light-hearted and funny roots so its good to see they are getting there again with Season 7.… Expand
Nov 7, 2010Greys Anatomy has some good acting and very solid character development but that's about it. This show is pretty much a high budget soap opera filled with cheesy dialogue and unrealistic situations. Last season's finale went to an all time worst when Greys decided to attempt to turn into an intense thriller...to mostly laughable results. A show like this doesn't deserve to be on anymore, it had its good days but those are over. Next time Greys Anatomy is on, change the channel to Fox and watch an episode of Fringe...then you'll know what a good t.v show looks like.… Expand
Apr 1, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pass me the sick bag doctor, i think i'm going to barf. I just watched the latest episode, season 7 ep 18; and the only thing worse than changing a colostomy bag is this episode. Why has it become a musical? stop singing so creepily, what a bunch of Glee rejects, George would turn in his grave! Doctors are supposed to make you feel better not sick. I puked all over the room when i saw this, and had to turn it off after 5 minutes. For the first time in my life i am jealous of people with altzheimers, i wish i could forget this episode. Neurosurgeons? talk about a lobotomy for the writers, what a load of mcsteaming pile of ___ (my dad says)!… Expand

How to Get a Body Like Wolverine
When you think of superhero bodies, you think of Batman clad in his metalic frames or the hulk that looks more comic book-like than human. But Hugh Jackman's character of Wolverine in the X-Men series is quite a different story altogether. His fitness regime has captured the imagination of men all over the world because his body, chiseled and muscular as it is, is quite achievable albeit with a lot of hard work and mental strength. Read on for tips on how you can get a body like Wolverine too!
In the words of Hugh Jackman's trainer Michael Ryan: "The routine was intense but it was for 1.5 hours for six days a week. It wasn't a complicated regime at all and something anyone can do. It was based on four or five lifting sessions and a cardiovascular session.
The key to our success with his body was variation. A lot of guys head for the gym day-in day-out and do the same thing every time and then wonder why their body stays the same. Make a point of working different muscles, building on the weight you can lift and getting your heart beating with a mix of running, swimming or cross-training."
How to do these workouts:
- Warm up first with ten minutes of cardio and light bodyweight movements.
- Do the pairs of exercises as supersets, performing one set of the first exercise, then moving immediately on to a set of the second exercise.
- Rest for the stated time before repeating.
- Choose a weight that you can manage with perfect form, but which leads to muscular failure by the end of the final set.
- Take one second to lift the weight, pause for another second, then take two to three seconds to lower again.
In order to get into shape for the role of Wolverine, Hugh Jackman's workout routine comprised of alternating between Tempo phase and Strength Training phase.
Gaining Muscle Phase: Hugh Jackman's trainer changed the tempo that Hugh had been lifting to force the muscles to adapt to force the muscles to grow. He had Hugh lift the weight for 3 seconds up and one second down. At first this limited the amount of weight he could lift, but as he adapted it help him put on a lot of lean mass.
Strength Training Phase: This phase was all about lifting as heavy as possible with no rules on tempo. He just wanted to see how heavy he could lift. The great thing about the previous phase is that it made these weights seem lighter. Hugh was actually benching 315 for reps before filming began!
He alternated between these two phases for 5 months and each phase lasted 6 weeks.
According to Hugh Jackman it is all about mental strength. In an interview with Men's Health magazine he said : 'When I have 315 pounds above me, there's that little breaking point," he says. "You either get really pissed off at that weight, or you ask for help from your spotter. It's that exact point — and every guy reading this article will recognize it — when Wolverine gets not just pissed off, but insanely pissed off. I try to reach that point every day in my workout. And then push through it.'
According to Hugh, yoga, stretching, pilates and running is necessary to avoid an obstructive muscle mass that can hinder free movement.

*whispers to byakuran* dude, we'll lose the bar if pumpkin is taken in!
Pssst... Saphira. Maybe that's what Bya wants. Either that or she wants to take over the bar.
Hmm..take over the bar..Why didn't i think of that?
Because, only i am capable of taking the bar over, i have experience in taking over. But this is not my plan. This is for Dr. Pumpkins own good.
I'm plotting to buy it out once it's foreclosed due to the mortgages Pumpkin took out to pay his slave employees.
I put on a Dr Pumpkin costume and changed some legal documents so I'll get it.
This bar is set to self-destruct when I leave it.
Just sayin'.
Only one way to find out.
*Grabs dr pumpkin and leaves the bar*
*bar doesn't expode* (i shutdown the bomb system... he really did put a bomb though, If they take you you take the bar and customers die eh? really nice.)

Camille Javal: "That's not surprising. The carpet will never fly if you think of an ass." "All right," Martin said, "I just won't think of an ass." But then he couldn't stop thinking of an ass! And the carpet wouldn't fly.

We booked a twin room, they gave us triple, which turned out ok but at the end they tried to charge us more....so check your final payment before paying..the hotel itself was very retro. Traffic was loud. Not a "wow"-experience overall..
