Facebook Misses Q1 Earnings Estimates
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Facebook (FB) shares fell 0.84% to $27.20 after the social networking giant posted results that were mixed compared to Wall Street's expectations.
Facebook earned 12 cents per share on $1.458 billion, an increase of 38% year-over-year, led by strength in mobile advertising, which accounted for 30% of total advertising revenue.
The Menlo Park, Calif.-based Facebook was expected to earn 13 cents on a non-GAAP basis, with revenue coming in at $1.44 billion, according to analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters. Analysts surveyed by Estimize were a little more bullish, looking for 15 cents per share on $1.48 billion in sales.
"We've made a lot of progress in the first few months of the year," said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and CEO in the press release. "We have seen strong growth and engagement across our community and launched several exciting products."
Mobile users continued to grow, and mobile monthly active users (MAUs) grew to 751 million, with total daily active users reaching 1.1 billion. Capital expenditures during the quarter fell year-over-year, declining 28% to $327 million, but overall spending rose 60% to $1.08 billion, on a GAAP basis, as the company continues to invest in its future. Spending has been a concern for Wall Street, as the company guided that operating expenses would rise sharply year-over-year. The company ended the first-quarter with $9.5 billion in cash and marketable securities. Facebook will hold a conference call at 5 P.M. EST to discuss the results. Shares of Facebook closed the regular session lower, down 1.22% to $27.43. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Chris_Ciaccia

In addition, the company said its board of directors has authorized a new $750 million share repurchase program, while CEO Michael Mussallem will purchase $5 million in Edwards stock.Irvine, California-based Edwards Lifesciences has retained Peter Crist of Crist/Kolder Associates to assist in the search for a new CFO. Abate, who turns 60 in August, plans to remain CFO until his successor is in place.Abate became Edwards' CFO in January 2006. Previously, he was the company's vice president and controller, a position he had held since Edwards became an independent company. In the 18 years prior to that, Abate served with Baxter in other finance-related positions.Michael Mussallem, Chairman and CEO of Edwards said, "Tom has had a very productive 31-year career with our company, and I want to thank him for his many significant contributions to our success. Tom played an important role in establishing Edwards as a standalone company following our spinoff from Baxter Healthcare Corporation in 2000."Edwards' board has authorized a new share repurchase program to acquire up to an additional $750 million of the company's outstanding common shares.As of March 31, 2013, Edwards had about $140 million remaining of its current $500 million share repurchase program that was authorized in September 2011.

Under a subscription agreement approved on Monday by the company's board of directors, Mussallem will purchase the shares on Wednesday, May 15, at either the share price that is equal to the closing price on that day, or at a share price equal to the average closing price for the 10 trading days ending May 13, whichever is higher.The common stock purchased by Mussallem in this transaction will be issued under a private placement. Not including this purchase, Mussallem currently holds 322,952 Edwards shares outright.Mussallem said, "The Board of Directors' authorization of the new share repurchase program reaffirms our belief in Edwards' long-term growth potential, and provides us with an opportunity to continue returning value to shareholders. On an individual basis, I'm making this increased investment in Edwards to demonstrate my confidence in the future growth of the company and its continuing ability to aggressively develop innovative products and extend its leadership positions."In Tuesday's regular trading session, EW is trading at $69.33, up $2.00 or 2.96 percent on a volume of 583,535 shares.

I'm starting Week 4 of this vegetarian diet that unexpectedly popped into my noggin after reading the book "Eat to Live." I have resisted bringing out the scale, but realize that I need a benchmark in addition to how loose my clothes are fitting.
I never even owned a scale my entire life until three years ago as I never gained excess weight. However, three years ago I started this healthier lifestyle adventure and bought a scale. Haven't used it for about 6-7 months, so today will be the start of weekly (Mondays) weigh-ins. I've made a promise to myself not to let it sabotage me by making a number more important than the process of staying healthy.
Wishing all a good week.
I'd been slim all my life up until a few years ago when stress, hormones, overwork, (and overeating?) piled on extra pounds. So, it took me awhile to see myself as someone who had extra weight on her frame.
That said, I am working hard at dissolving this remaining little kangaroo pouch (smiling) and realized the other day that I can now look downward and see all of my body. Hooray for me!
Wishing all a good day.
I've been noticing all the changes over the past three weeks since starting this vegetarian regimen. Among them is my shopping behavior at the grocery store. I swapped the grocery cart for the hand basket noticing that, not only do I need fewer items at the store, but I also make wiser choices when I have a smaller basket.
Wishing all a fun weekend.
The other night, as I was falling asleep, I heard the author of this new book guesting on a radio program. Although some of his info is already known, he states some mind-blowing facts about sugar that were timely reminders as to why I am cutting sugar out of my life (as far as desserts and similar other things go). The diseases sugar contributes to are unreal. He says that sugar travels the same neural pathways as heroin, thus its addictive nature.
Wishing all a fun day and weekend.
I have three solid weeks spent on this new vegetarian lifestyle. In this short time I have seen: 1. Elimination of cravings that formerly controlled me, 2. Elimination of night time munchies, 3. Feeling full rather than feeling hungry, 4. Feeling empowered and in awe that it's been so relatively simple.
Okay, even with those great benefits, out-of-the blue last night came a HUGE rebellious streak. My mind started saying that today I would go grocery shopping and buy anything and everything I wanted. I fantasized about amazing things. Then I paused and realized...
This was not the same as a craving. I really didn't want any of that stuff. I also haven't felt deprived during this time, so it wasn't compensation for that.
At first, I told myself that it would be okay to buy those food items - in moderation. After battling with my bratty inner child, I calmed down and smiled realizing that I really didn't want any of those things. My mind is so used to wanting all the wrong things, despite what the rest of my body wants.
How many times have I given into mental cravings, despite not having physical cravings! From now on, I will be realistic in expecting these occasional flare-ups of the mind. And I'll pause and truly think about what I really want, rather than what my bratty side demands that has been conditioned with lifelong bad habits.
As I have done each day for the last three weeks, I've told myself that I can quit this experiment any time I want. Even if I do, I will come away with some terrific new ideas added to my blossoming healthy lifestyle.
Wishing all a good day.

Entertainers Park Eun-ji, Kang Ye-bin, and singer G.NA confessed the truth about their cosmetic surgery. The three appeared in the February 6th broadcast of MBC 'Radio Star' and they admitted the truth about their cosmetic surgery when asked by the emcees. Park Eun-ji confessed that she underwent double-eyelid surgery because her eyelashes poked her eye. As a result, her vision began to atrophy so she had her double-eyelid job done by the ophthalmologist.
Kang Ye-bin also said, "I also had my double-eyelid surgery in the ophthalmology. But my eye bags are natural, and I want to say this to clear out lot of misunderstandings," "I used to hate my eye bag when I was little, because it was like larvae put inside." Kang Ye-bin added, "I also injected filler in my nose." Meanwhile, G.NA expressed her resentment regarding rumors of her breast surgery. She said, "When I type my name in search engines, it's always associated with 'G.NA breast surgery' and I feel dejected when seeing such thing. Even my family members such as grandmother and auntie were glamorous." [Picture=MBC]

Bridal Shower Weekend Getaway Review Submitted: April 24, 2012 Date of Stay: April 2012 This was one of the best weekends I have ever had! The house was not only beautiful, but also comfortable. We had amazing weather, so we were able to use the grill while watching the sunset over the water. The owners thought of everything - paddle boats, bikes, phone chargers, games, etc. They even put together a list of maps of the area for grocery stores, wineries, and butcher shops (which was delicious! Definitely recommend going to the local butcher). We went wine tasting to some of the cutest wineries, where everyone was very friendly and accommodating to our group of 7. The owners are extremely nice and thoughtful of their guests. We are already planning a trip to come back next year! Owner's Response: It was so nice meeting you girls and we're so glad you appreciated all that we have to offer at our beach house. So glad you took advantage of all our amenities. We love having our all girl weekends here at the beach house and we look forward to your return. Thank you for your stay.

Relaxing Vacation Beach Home Review Submitted: December 6, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011 My husband and I rented this lovely beach house for 2 nights during the month of August. My sister and her family also joined us for a quick summer getaway. We live in Nassau County, Long Island and were looking for a few days away without the hassle of planes, trains or long car rides The accommandations at this beach house were very comfortable and the rooms were spotless and airy. We really enjoyed the first class location of this home... right on the beach of the North shore of Long Island! My two children loved going out on the sound with the kayaks and paddle boats that were provided free of charge! We also went bike riding in the mornings around the quiet town of Wading River. Everything was so convenient with shops and stores only a few short minutes away. The atmosphere was so relaxing that we didn't mind cooking and barbequing (barbeque included) On the last night, we strolled across the street to a very quaint french restaurant. The food was fabulous and the outdoor bar provided a breath taking view of the ocean. The owners of this beach house were very helpful and courteous. They provided us with directions and advice on all the area attractions. While we truly relaxed during our trip, we did manage to visit two vineyards and sample some local wines! We ran out of time so we are planning to visit this lovely beach house again this summer. My family and I all agreed that this was one of the best quick getaways that we ever experienced. Looking forward to our next visit.

Stayed at the South Hampton Cottage and had a nice weekend. We enjoyed the weekend away from the city and were centrally located to the shops and great restaurants. Cooper's beach is a short drive away and we visited twice. The owner couldn't have been nicer!

We stayed at The Lorraine for a long weekend. The property and its location is magical. I've rented a number of vacation homes in the last ten years or so and The Lorraine, by far, blows every one out of the water. I wished so much that it was "my" beach home. In fact, I yearn to be back again! thanks for everything, Debbie & Virginia!

We have stayed at both The Beach House and the Lorraine and have had fantastic experiences at both. The Beach House is our favorite long weekend, get away spot. We love to cook and both houses are well equipped for cooking at home, with shopping near enough for convenience, but not close enough to be intrusive. And both houses also have a variety of other amenities (very nice, large flat screen TVs; fireplace) that add to the experience. The Lorraine has an outdoor hot tub, which was particularly nice in the cold weather. Can't recommend this site and the owners highly enough!

The Virgin Martyrs as Models of Purity
In our society the virtue of purity seems "old fashioned" or "prudish" to many. There is very little today that is considered scandalous. Sadly, our culture has mainstreamed many things that would have been considered improper, impure and unacceptable in days gone by.
Bombarded with sexualized images and content for so long, people are now desensitized to impurity. Unfortunately, this includes our impressionable young girls and our maturing young women. They no longer recognize many inappropriate and obscene things as offensive.
The virtue of Purity consists of much more than sexuality, but as we strive to raise children and grandchildren whose values and convictions reflect the heart of God, representing sexual purity becomes more challenging every day. Especially against the backdrop of our disordered culture.
In a culture where impurity assaults us, the Church offers many models of virtue to us and to our young women. They stand in stark contrast to the feminine role models offered to us by the disordered world.
Here are the inspiring stories of four virgin martyrs who suffered death rather than compromise their purity: Continue reading

New Years Resolutions for the Year of Faith
In October of 2012 the Holy Father initiated a special papal Year of Faith that runs through the end of November 2013. The vision of this move, in the words of the Holy Father, "We want this Year to arouse in every believer the aspiration to profess the faith in fullness and with renewed conviction, with confidence and hope." By announcing the Year of Faith, the Pope is trying to combat the spiritual plagues of our time that he has repeatedly warned against, secularism, poor catechesis, and religious indifference, by encouraging Catholics to learn and live their faith in public.

Re: Julia`s season`s end 2012 - Linz and Luxembourg and ?
Well, but if she goes far in singles & doubles she ends up with a terrible schedule like in Linz, where she had to play 2 matches a day two days in a row, on sunday with not even one hour break between them. The smart thing to do would obviously have been to pull out of doubles before the semis, but that would have been very harsh on BZS of course...

Fallen soldiers honored with holiday tradition
Updated On: Dec 14 2013 07:37:57 PM EST
Hundreds braved the cold in Springvale over the weekend to pay their respects to those who have sacrificed.
A group of about 250 volunteers and family members of fallen soldiers descended on the Southern Maine Memorial Veterans Cemetery for a wreath-laying ceremony Saturday.
They placed wreaths on 430 grave sites after pausing for a moment of silence.
Organizers say it was a small token of appreciation for the men and women in uniform.
"They did make a sacrifice for us, and especially during the holidays and all year long we need to remember that sacrifice, and honor them any way we can," said Steven Butler of the Maine chapter of the Patriot Riders of America.
The wreath-laying ceremony in Springvale was part of a worldwide event.

Classical American
What today's architecture owes to Henry Hope Reed.
Jul 1, 2013, Vol. 18, No. 40 • By CATESBY LEIGH
In 1968, Reed, Bayley, and nine others—mostly laymen—cofounded Classical America. Classical America introduced a series of valuable texts (both new works and books that had gone out of print) on art and architecture. It also provided instruction in drawing the classical orders, as well as perspective rendering, at the University of Pennsylvania and the National Academy of Design in Manhattan. The organization with which Classical America merged in 2002, now the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, has expanded these programs, and boasts regional chapters from coast to coast. (In Washington, the fledgling National Civic Art Society is waging a remarkably effective campaign against Frank Gehry's abominable stage-set design for a national memorial to Dwight D. Eisenhower and has a longer--term focus on one of Reed's abiding concerns: reconnecting federal patronage with a classical heritage dating back to Washington and Jefferson.)
In later years, Reed's labors were concentrated on particular institutional buildings. Hence his last solo effort: the vastly instructive The United States Capitol: Its Architecture and Decoration (2005), published when he was nearly 90. Alas, Reed didn't live to see any new buildings emulate the grandeur of that great temple of democracy, or Whitney Warren's Grand Central Terminal, or the nearby New York Central (now Helmsley) office tower—the latter dwarfed for 50 years now by the MetLife skyscraper, a monstrous concrete slab designed by Gropius and others, seemingly with the overriding aim of ruining views up and down Park Avenue.
"It is astonishing," Reed asserted in a 1997 lecture on the magnificent Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress, "how deeply fixed among American intellectual circles is the disdain—or is it fear?—of abundant ornament."
Only gradually did Reed come to realize just how heavily invested our cultural elites are in fallacious notions of creativity, and what a formidable barrier they present to aesthetic common sense. American civic art has yet to return to the Roman road the Founders opened; but a civic-art counter-culture has emerged, buttressed by the advent, nearly a quarter-century ago, of a fully classical (and very successful) program in architecture and urban design at Notre Dame.
The New Urbanism, amply anticipated in the brilliant Tunnard-Reed collaboration, as well as Jane Jacobs's masterwork, has recovered the historic paradigm of the pedestrian-scale, mixed-use neighborhood along with historic regional architectural styles and admirably artistic site-planning techniques. Traditional buildings are cropping up with increasing frequency on college campuses. And with the rise of a new generation of post-Vatican II bishops in the Roman Catholic church, we can hope for equally significant improvements in sacred architecture.
For this counterculture, Henry Hope Reed's life work represents a beacon shining far into the future.

Why can't Don Draper, Raylan Givens, and Rick Grimes grow up?
AMC, Fox
In an interview with the New York Times last summer, Breaking Bad creator and showrunner Vince Gilligan described his series in contrast to the typical televised drama: "Television is really good at protecting the franchise. It's good at keeping the Korean War going for 11 seasons, like M*A*S*H. It's good at keeping Marshal Dillon policing his little town for 20 years. By their very nature TV shows are open-ended." The two examples he chose are M*A*S*H, which has been off the air for nearly 30 years, and Gunsmoke, which ran for 20 seasons before ending in 1975.
The examples are old because Gilligan's point is dated. Nothing is that open-ended anymore. For a little more than a decade, there's been a massive shift in the nature of TV drama: from episodic storytelling—shows like the various permutations of the Law & Order franchise, in which a series' larger continuity is secondary to the self-contained story it's telling in a single episode—to long-form, serialized narratives in which a combination of many episodes tell a single, continuous story, like Breaking Bad and itspeers, which are virtually all of television's most-acclaimed series, including The Sopranos, Mad Men, Deadwood and The Wire.
For the most part, serialized storytelling has melded well with the episodic tradition of TV. The episodic structure of the medium means that unlike a novel or film, a TV series' plot can be tweaked at any time for the better (see Breaking Bad's Jesse Pinkman, who was originally slated to die in season one, or Justified antihero Boyd Crowder, who wasn't even intended to survive the series' pilot). And there's plenty to be said for rewarding regular viewers with callbacks and references, which is only possible when there's continuity from episode to episode. The best contemporary sitcoms, like Parks and Recreation or Community, have earned additional critical acclaim and viewer loyalty by increasing their number of recurring plot arcs and inside jokes. But dramas have been the primary beneficiaries of the serialization trend.
But there's one key element of TV drama that remains an awkward fit when a serial narrative is grafted onto an open-ended, episodic structure: the central protagonist. What we're beginning to see is a TV landscape of dynamic, evolving characters who surround a protagonist of frustrating rigidity. Though nearly any modern TV drama could fit this analysis, let's start with Mad Men, which returns to AMC for its fifth season one month from today. Betty Francis (formerly Betty Draper) has had a stunningly propulsive character arc—morphing, in four seasons, from meekly deferential housewife to strong-willed self-defender. Peggy Olsen has risen up the ranks of the advertising world, and consequently become more confident in her personal and professional talents; Pete Campbell, who sniveled his way through the first season, has become a capable businessman and husband.
And then there's Don Draper, who spent the first season drinking and carrying on with young, artsy brunettes... and ended the fourth season drinking and carrying on with a young, artsy brunette. This is not necessarily a fault with Mad Men; there's nothing inherently wrong or unrealistic about a static main character (most tragedies are, after all, built around them). But I have a small, nagging feeling that Mad Men won't let Don Draper evolve. Series-best fourth-season episode "The Suitcase" made Don Draper's rock-bottom so visceral, and his subsequent guilt and recovery so honest, that it wasn't just disappointing to watch him make the same mistakes in the season's finale—it was implausible. But when your show is a hit—and your lead character, for all his drinking and womanizing, is a pop culture icon—fundamental change may be a risk too big to take.

and who r u to tell peoples' future? and whats ur own future?
pretty face....don't make no pretty heart. piece of trash.
What a waste. She keeps her sights low like Whitney Houston did and banged mostly monkeys. Houston was scared to move up the evolutionary scale and paid the price. This woman has the same future line up for her.
my husband has always said to me he loves like a dimond in the sky.because i shine all the time and i am so real isnt that most darling thing to say. GODWIN LOVES VALAIDA AND SHE LOVES HIM BACK 100%

LOS ANGELES -- When it mattered most, when the game was on the line, the Boston Celtics showed no mercy, punting the Los Angeles Lakers from one end of Staples Center to the other and back again Sunday afternoon.
Down the stretch, the rematch of the NBA Finals was a mismatch.
|The Lakers revert to a Kobe Bryant-only offense against the Celtics. (US Presswire)
In the end, the Celtics' 109-96 victory raised additional questions about the Lakers' ability to win a third consecutive championship and send retiring coach Phil Jackson off to his home in Montana with a 12th title -- six with L.A. and six in Chicago.
More and more, it looks as if the numbers won't add up. As if someone other than Jackson and Kobe Bryant will be hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy in June.
It is, of course, still only January and there's a great deal of basketball to be played. But the Celtics sure looked closer to championship form than the Lakers did on Sunday, particularly in the fourth quarter.
Bryant went a little nuts, matching his season high with 41 points and passing the 27,000-point milestone in the process. But his scoring binge put the Lakers in jeopardy because it made their offense one-dimensional late in the game.
The Celtics had only to focus their energy on staying in front of Bryant, who launched the first shot on 11 consecutive possessions during one especially dysfunctional stretch in the fourth quarter. It wasn't an easy task, of course, but it was made easier by the fact that the other four Lakers stood and watched Bryant shoot and shoot and shoot.
Bryant scored 11 of his team's 24 points in the fourth quarter.
"I didn't think anybody else wanted the ball," Jackson said, grimacing at game's end. "We did run a couple other plays to get guys into position, but I thought those times [Bryant] had the best opportunities. ... But a lot of times, it didn't look like we were running anything out there."

|Facts & Rumors
Defensively, the Lakers were a mess, too. Ron Artest couldn't guard Paul Pierce right from the start, took an accidental knee to his right thigh in the first quarter and went on to miss nine of 10 shots. He took a seat for the fourth quarter. Luke Walton also tried and failed to check Pierce. So did Bryant, although he might have done the best of all.
Pierce finished with 32 points on 11-of-18 shooting. Ray Allen made 8 of 12 shots for 21 points. Kevin Garnett went 9 for 12 from the field for 18 points. Rajon Rondo had 16 assists, all but one in the second half.
With firepower like that, the Celtics might have crushed the Lakers even on L.A.'s best defensive day. This was not the Lakers' best defensive day in what's turning out to be something of a disappointing season, and the Celtics had plenty to do with it.
Boston's offense clicked when Rondo clicked, which isn't anything new.
The Celtics shot a scalding 60.3 percent for the game, including 70 percent (14 for 20) in the fourth quarter. Those numbers amazed Boston coach Doc Rivers, who said, "We don't do that every night, unfortunately. As a coach, I would like that."
Don't be greedy, Doc. You play the Lakers only twice this season. (The rematch is Feb. 10 in Boston).
Again, that's assuming the Lakers don't cure what ails them by the time the playoffs roll around in April and also that the Celtics find a way past the Miami Heat and their three-headed monster of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, or the Orlando Magic, or whomever else might confront them in the playoffs.
Too much still can happen between now and the spring to write off the Lakers. But for one rainy afternoon in Los Angeles at the end of January, it seemed the Celtics were miles ahead of their ancient rivals in all the categories that make up a championship team, especially when it comes to playing defense.
Jerry West recently cracked on L.A.'s poor defense. The Lakers legend stood in front of a bunch of car dealers in Orange County, Calif., and asked them how many times they watched a Laker hit the floor in pursuit of a loose ball.
When he said it, though, the Lakers' defensive numbers were a smidge better than last season. They were giving up 96.4 points as opposed to 97, so maybe it wasn't simply numbers on a page that told the story.
"We understand that the regular season is not crucial, but it is important," power forward Pau Gasol acknowledged. "We have to understand that every game is important. We're not going to win them all and we're not going to play great every night, but we have to have a little more sense of urgency."
The Celtics had no such troubles Sunday.

The story of the Davis Company
History Repeats Itself
By: Donna M Dutton
Watertown City Clerk
IN TODAY'S economic climate, it is not unusual for industry to move from one state to another in an effort to take advantage of tax breaks and cheaper labor costs. While most people think of it as something happening in modern times, this is not a new concept in business. The truth is that it happened in the City of Watertown before the turn of the 20th century.
This is the story of a once-thriving Watertown industry that was lured away to another city in another state and the story of the people who also pulled up roots and moved with the company.
In the mid-1860s Job Davis, an inventor, traveled to Watertown and displayed his Davis Sewing Machine at the Woodruff house. The Davis machine was a great improvement over the sewing machine previously invented by Elias Howe and it aroused the interest of brothers John and Joseph Sheldon. In February 1868, the Davis Sewing Machine Company was started in Watertown by the Sheldons with a capital of $150,000, which was quickly increased to $300,000.
The factory was equipped with the latest and most modern machinery and the mechanical skills of the workers were said to be unsurpassed. When the company started production it was located in a building on Factory Street, then moved to another location on Beebee Island and later moved to still larger facilities on Sewall's Island.
These facilities consisted of two buildings the main structure of 175' x 40', two storeys high with an attic and 40' x 30' wing as well as an office building 50' x 30'.
Davis exhibited prominently at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in 1876
An April 24, 1869 news article stated "The Davis Sewing Machine Company is manufacturing a new and greatly improved machine for heavy work, which seems to be taking precedence over all others.
The company recently received an order for 1,400 machines from a firm in Paris, France, and will deliver them during the ensuing three months. All employees of the company are working full time and orders are being received which test the full capacity of the factory.
There is today a smaller stock of sewing machines on hand than there was January 1, notwithstanding the efforts made to produce more than the immediate market called for." The Sheldon brothers rented No. I Paddock Arcade, which was used as an office and sales room. In addition to sewing machines, the Schuylers also sold organs, pianos and other musical goods.
By 1875 the company manufactured in excess of $300,000 worth of machines, all of which were sold. The number of employees was 175 and the assets of the company were about $1,000,000.
Not only was the Davis Company successful, its business also created business for other Watertown firms.
Since the Davis Company did not own a
foundry, they made arrangements with Bagley and Sewall to do the casting of the iron parts. Bagley and Sewall found that their contract with
Davis was a very important one. The company was
making castings for about 75 sewing machines each day. Later, the production was stepped up and
there were weeks when over 150 machines were manufactured each day.
What made the machine so revolutionary? The secret was in the "Feed." The feeds used previously were wheel-feed which consisted of a revolving wheel, which automatically moved forward at each stitch. The Davis Machine had a "vertical feed."
Above: the Davis Rotary,
Below: the Advance
This was a major improvement over the
old method and allowed for smooth and flexible
seams with stitches alike on both sides. It also
allowed the sewing of any number of thicknesses
without basting, and operated equally well on the
heaviest as well as the lightest fabrics.
In the mid 1880s Davis had 300 employees and was quickly moving forward. The company offered nine different models of machines all featuring the vertical feed. Prices ranged from $55 for the ornamental machine on an iron stand with black walnut table top and large drawer to $150 for the full cabinet model which was a highly- ornamented machine with inlaid pearl and silver plated.
The black walnut case was lined and had four large drawers and a folding cover. Each machine was sent out with two hemmers braider, quilter, oil can (full of oil), screwdriver, four bobbins, one dozen needles and printed instructions. Additional accessories such as rumers, tuck markers, corders and binders could be purchased for $3 each.
The owners of the company were always looking for ways to advertise. They came up with an ingenious method through the use of music. They enlisted the remaining members of the old Firemen's City band, outfitted them with new uniforms and instruments and named them The Davis Sewing Machine Band.
This band was well known all over northern New York and Canada and was certainly a new and different form of advertising for the company. Not only were they a good advertisement, they were also a very good band, winning international band competitions in Toronto. The band would later be known as the Watertown City Band.
The Davis Sewing Machine Company was at one time the largest industry in Watertown. The company was a genuine Watertown concern and was principally financed and managed by well-known citizens of the community. To outsiders, it looked as if the company's initial prosperity would continue. Unfortunately, by the late 1880s, things went terribly wrong.
Above: the No.4
Below the No.2
Two main problems arose which had severe effects on the company. The first, and unfortunately something that could have been prevented, was shoddy workmanship. Products were being sent from the factory that did not have the same fine quality workmanship that the early workers had prided themselves in.
One of the main reasons for this was undoubtedly the demand for the machines. However, the more shortcuts taken to speed up production, the more interior the product became. Due to the inadequate quality of the machines demand dropped off.
Another reason for the company's fiscal problems was the fact that they were involved in a lengthy and costly lawsuit. Even though they eventually won the suit, the damage took its toll and the company was on its way to financial ruin. The lawsuit was brought against The Hat Sweat Company by The Davis Company. The Hat Sweat Company had been receiving enormous income in royalties from licenses, which included nearly all the leading hat manufactories of the United States.
In carrying on the business they appropriated a patent, which belonged to the Davis Company, for an attachment to a sewing machine. The Hat Sweat Company was told to stop using it or to pay a royalty to the Davis Company. They refused and Davis commenced a suit in the United States Circuit Court in Utica. At about the same time, the Davis Company started a manufactory of hat sweats and sold them to the trade, and in so doing they used the patent of their Company.
Then, The Hat Sweat Company made a motion of an injunction against the Davis Company. The motion was granted and the Davis Company was not allowed to manufacture hat sweats. The Davis Company, believing that their original patent for the attachment was invalid, asked for a trial on the issue.
However, they were met with motions for adjournments and postponements. Arguments for both sides were finally heard in March of 1889 but due to the backlog of cases, the court's decision was not announced until October 1889. While the decision favored The Davis Company, the damage had been done.
It is ironic that even though The Hat Sweat Company lost the lawsuit, it was estimated that the company made over a million dollars from using the Davis patent as their own.
There were rumors circulating indicating Davis was leaving town. However, no one took them seriously. It should not have come as any surprise to the people of Watertown when it was finally announced that The Davis Sewing Machine Company was indeed leaving Watertown.
The company had been approached by the Dayton, Ohio, Board of Trade which was ultimately responsible for the Davis move. Dayton officials knew that when the company settled in Dayton it would be second only to the car works factories in material and financial importance to their city.
In January of 1889 the Davis Sewing Machine Company stockholders voted to transfer the company's manufactory and place of business, provided that Dayton fulfill its agreement to construct new buildings, etc.
The stockholders also voted to increase the capital stock from $300,000 to $600,000. In addition to agreeing to pay all costs associated with the move, the Board of Trade was required to raise the sum of $50,000; the donation was a condition upon which the Watertown company would move to Dayton.
This donation was raised through a "grassroots" effort. Dayton was canvassed in every section. Citizens gave whatever they could some as little as $1.00.
In Dayton, George Huffman took charge of the company. He was a young man whose family owned real estate in East Dayton.
The land was developed for the factory and for the settlement of about 50 Watertown families. Dayton papers relate: "Five and a half acres of land were secured for the location of the company's plant on Huffman Avenue.
The construction of the buildings has commenced which consists of a main building 510' x 60' with two large wings and a blacksmith shop and foundry. The main building with its wings is two storeys high, while the other buildings are one storey. It is the intention to employ 600 skilled mechanics."
The closing of the Watertown factory presented problems for the men who had worked in the factory. Most had families, owned homes and had a long history with the area. Would they be willing to pull up stakes and move to Dayton, Ohio?
Many of them did. On January 13, 1890, about 80 residents boarded the train for Dayton. Arrangements were made for them to leave Watertown on the 10:20am train. They gathered long before departure time and were surrounded by crowds of people that came to see them off. Even though it was mid-January, the temperature was in the 60s and descriptions of the event mention that. All in all, they seemed to be a very happy group of Watertownians.
The company's manager, Levi A Johnson, accompanied this first group. The company furnished the tickets for the employees and their families and paid for the freight on their household goods.
Some of the first employees to "go west" included Melvin Chadwick, Edward Maltby, W W Cunningham, David Manson, C O'Leary, Fred Gettings, Thomas Spencer, Charles Rooney, as well as members from the Kennedy, Peters and Randolph families. Several other families joined them in the months that followed.
Many went to Dayton in an effort to keep working until there was a job available back in Watertown. Some workers returned within a few months. Others stayed and made Dayton their new home.
Some employees died there and were brought back to Watertown for burial, with the Watertown delegation in Dayton being in charge of the funeral.
For a number of years ties with Watertown remained strong, possibly because the Davis Company arranged for half-price train tickets for the families of those people who came from Watertown.
This privilege was discontinued when the Company discovered that the tickets were being used for picnic trips and also to travel to other locations rather than visiting relatives in Watertown.
The Davis Sewing Machine Company operated under this name until 1924, but as early as 1892 the manufacturing of bicycles was added to the production.
Histories from the Dayton Daily News indicated that the bicycle manufacturing was so successful that the production of sewing machines was gradually phased out. The Huffman Manufacturing Company was formed as a sales outlet for Davis Sewing Machine company service parts.
In 1924, the Davis Company's assets were liquidated. At that time, the company employed 1,800 workers.
The Huffman Manufacturing Company became the holding company of the Davis Sewing Machine Company and only the drop forge and foundry departments were kept in operation. Huffman Manufacturing went into Huffy bicycle production in 1934 and during World War II made service equipment, bicycles and ammunition components for the government. Rotary power lawn mower production was started in 1950. In 1955 the factories were moved to Celina, Ohio.
The general offices were left in Dayton. However, in 1999, the Huffy Bicycle factory closed and moved to Mexico in an effort to cut production costs. Many people commented that it was a sign of the times.
However, for students of history it was just another case of "history repeating itself".

I've got a tutor machine which I recently imaged and need to install the Catalyst Control Centre suite so I can clone the display onto both the VGA and DVI ports (So the interactive whiteboard has a display other than a blue screen)
The software appears to install fine, however when I try to launch the control centre it flashes up and then instantly closes again as if it has crashed!
Tried the latest Internet driver and the included CD driver with no luck now.

The American Military Partner Association (AMPA) held its first National Gala Dinner in Washington Sunday, and the Department of Defense used the opportunity to tout the rapid advances the military is making in erasing gender distinctions in policies regarding military spouses and partners. As reported by the Armed Forces Press Service, the keynote speaker at the dinner, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy Rosemary Freitas Williams, told the attendees that the Pentagon had modified existing military leave policy to allow service members to travel to the nearest jurisdiction where same-sex marriage is permitted to be legally married:
"Since not all local laws are equal when it comes to marriage," Williams said, "we've modified the department's leave policy to allow service members, regardless of their sexual orientation, to be authorized administrative absence so they may travel to the nearest jurisdiction to be legally married."
The military leave policy change was not the only announcement at the dinner. Williams also said there were ongoing "policy reviews of commissary and exchange privileges, the morale, welfare and recreation program, childcare and youth programs and others to ensure access is inclusive."
Further, AMPA's Community Hero Award recipient Tracy Johnson revealed that the Department of Veterans Affairs had recently notified her that she had been retroactively approved to receive spousal survival benefits after initially being denied. Tracy and her partner Donna had been issued a marriage certificate in Washington, D.C. in February 2012, before Donna was killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan later that same year.
Williams was effusive in her praise for the AMPA and the attendees at the dinner, telling them they were "among the new generation of pioneers within the ranks of military and veterans service organizations. 'History will record your actions and your significance for all time,' she said."
The AMPA bills itself on its website as "[c]onnecting, supporting, honoring, and serving the partners and spouses of America's LGBT servicemembers and veterans - our 'modern military families.'"
An email to the press office of the Defense Department seeking clarification on the extent of the leave policy and where the directive originated has not yet been returned.
President Obama made what's being heralded as a big announcement on same sex marriage. "I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married," Obama told ABC News in an interview broadcast this morning. Obama's the first sitting president to come out in favor of same sex marriage.

I deal with depression on a daily basis. I am also bipolar.
I've found that , in most areas, the only support offered is Faith based. Something I do not like.
Post how you deal with depression, or bipolar "disorder". If you take medications that work for you tell us. If you take some that don't work or have side effects let us know.

Belle Rose, What used to be called clinical depression is now called major depression. They are the same, although there was, and is, many different types of this disease.
Adding to what I just said, when my depression ended, it was like becoming un-lost. Like gradually figuring out where I was and the way home.
Not depressed now. Well, not in a clinical way, just when it's appropriate. When someone who hasn't experienced clinical depression wonders what it's like. I tell them "I think the best comparison you can relate to is that it's like being lost. Lost in your own mind."
@Diane - fuck it, you've got to laugh, haven't you? Things can be fucking funny.
"I love it when Christians, and it is always Christians, try to convince me that my depression comes from being disconnected from God." - I know you probably don't need abstract philosophy at a time like this, but I believe there's substance to this statement, if you translate it into atheist terms.
In atheist terms they're talking about the Healing Principle and its moral companion, Heal the Situation (please follow links for more information). This may be a new idea and it may look like nothing, but if you don't balk at it initially, and give it some deep mind-wrenching thought, - try it and I hope you will see what I mean.
The big issue of course is how to get in touch with and take a ride / get high on the Healing Principle. This translates into actions, thoughts, attitudes. Mindfulness meditation is central to this (the Healing Principle lives underneath our entire existence; our ego, which ironically seeks personal comfort, may hold it back).
If it looks religious, that's because it is - a central aspect of religion translated into atheist terms.
The site's only half-finished, but the ideas are maturing well, so if you have any questions, ask away and I should be able to help answer them.
@Strega - How bizarre. Are there no followers of God that suffer from bi-polar disorder then?
They're the sinners, silly!
When I was in a two year depression, I got great help from a clinical social worker who worked for Lutheran Family Services. I told her I just wanted secular counseling and she honored that wish.
I have a bipolar nephew, so I have some idea what you are going through.

Roy Hodgson says he only wants players who are committed to playing for England after handing a call-up to Ivory Coast-born star Wilfried Zaha.
Former Chelsea star Didier Drogba has been amongst those trying to persuade Crystal Palace winger Zaha to opt for the country of his birth.
But Hodgson feels there is "no choice to be made" for anyone who gets the call-up to represent the Three Lions.
He said: "It is very simple. England, for me, is very important. To be asked to play for England is a major honour and a major feather in people's caps.
"I am not interested in people who are deciding whether England is where they want to be.
"When people are called up I expect them to come running, get on a bicycle and cycle to the training session if they have to, then shake hands with everyone and tell them how happy they are to be there."
He added: "There is all this nonsense about players receiving phone calls and being enticed away. If they are going to be enticed away, they are not the right player for us.
"But Wilfried has played for England at Under-21 and Under-19 level.
"It seems to me fairly obvious if you want to do that and are happy to accept a call-up to the first national team, that is where you want to play."
Zaha is not the only player operating in similar circumstances in the current England squad.
The Football Association expect FIFA clearance for Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson to feature at some point tonight after he had previously represented Finland at Under-21 level.
Liverpool midfielder Raheem Sterling, despite being handed his debut against the Swedes, is also eligible for Jamaica.
Hodgson said: "You can see it as a problem or you can see it as a blessing to have so many players capable of playing for England.
"If they happen to fall by the wayside, there will be somewhere else for them to go.
"I would expect players who have spent the best part of their life in England - and the whole of their football education has been in England, if they get a chance to play for the national team, they will.
"But I wouldn't stand in anyone's way if England didn't mean that much to them and they would prefer to play for the country of their parents' birth. I made that clear to Jenkinson."

Grimm Review: Warm and Fuzzyby Nick McHatton at . Comments
Now I can add the traits warm and fuzzy to Eddie's personality.
Just like last week, "Let Down Your Hair" dished out plenty of Eddie time, and once again Grimm benefited from it, all while expanding on plot threads from previous episodes.
Before delving into the case and Eddie, let me say I was happy to see the scared plumber come back into the picture - and he brought friends no less! The more creatures who know Nick is a Grimm, and where he lives now, help heighten the stakes between Nick's dual lives. Which means it's only a matter of time until they figure out where he works, and that makes for some fun storytelling from many different angles.
The case gave us (in what I hope isn't a rare occurrence) a chance to see Eddie working out in the field with Nick, further explaining what it's like to be one of these creatures. Well, at least from the Blutbaden perspective. Rapunzel, who's been lost in the woods for years, is probably scared of this side of her, and doesn't know if she's alone in these feelings.
Thankfully, warm and fuzzy Eddie came to her rescue, just like Flynn Rider! It's awesome to see Eddie becoming such a fully developed character. He's gone from enemy number one, to comic relief, to confidante and now to nurturing. Not bad for a character only seven episodes in.
And a funny thing happened along the way: Nick let his emotions and kinder side break through. We've watched him nurture and joke with Juliette before, but for the most part his cop persona shines through for his investigations. With Holly, he was more concerned for her safety and her health rather than trying to arrest her for the murder of a drug dealer.
Speaking of character changes, Hank felt a little off kilter at times in this episode. His personality doesn't really feel set in stone yet, and it seems since he was with Wu most of the time, Wu's cheesy one-liners rubbed off on him. Seriously, I counted about four all in a row at the beginning.
Thankfully, they were balanced out with some nice moments of him doing his absolute best to make sure Holly was reunited with her mother. All of those memories from nine years ago of putting his missing person's case on the shelf flashing across Hank's face offered a nice moment of poignancy that Grimm hasn't ventured into.
Over the last two episodes, Grimm has found a storytelling pace that really works, and it's beginning to offer payoffs to plot elements laid out weeks ago. Now if only I can figure out if Juliette is an evil-doer and Renard would actually do something fairy tale-ish...
Other thoughts:
- Did anyone else get a bunch of Hunger Games vibes from this episode? If only Rapunzel had a bow like Katniss.
- Eddie's love of Christmas? Totally awesome.
- Is this where Rumplestiltskin hides his pot farm?

Great story Richard. I just mentioned you to smoeone about that left the country and came back part of your history. She wanted to hear more. I didn't know more, had checked several years ago on the Internet and couldn't find anything. Glad to see you are alive and well. I think she will like your poem about the Gulf blowout.
I like Hank. I am waiting for when he and Juliette figure out what's going on so that they can be a greater part of the story. The writers of Grimm need to figure out a loophole so that normal people can see monsters, otherwise this will all seem like delusions.
I LOVE this show!! Eddie is just perfect! Stories are really creative and interesting. Please keep it coming.
This was my favourite episode so far. The more Eddie we get, the better we all are! It was also great to see Nick outside of the police procedural element - just having him in that treehouse added loads to his character. I like that Hank had a couple poignant scenes, but I still think he needs to be integrated more into the main story line as opposed to just the procedural aspect.
Yeah, what DID happen to that guy who owns the doggie wash? Hopefully someone found him. Eddie is: A cellist, A Christmas Decor Zealot, A collector of antique model trains, A blutbad who can tear your limbs off, An amateur herbalist, and a reluctant hero. Great character! I look forward to Nick showing up at his house because you never know what new facet of Eddie is going to be revealed. What's next? A painter? A sculptor? The host of a local book club? A TV Fanatic staff writer? I thought the scenes with Hank and Holly's mother were nice. It gave us a little more info to help fill out his character.
Great episode. Loved Eddie's house and Santa reveal.
This was one of the best episodes of "Grimm" yet, with Eddie getting more screentime (the revelation about Santa was great!) and Nick fleshing out a bit more from his cop persona. Now Hank needs to find out about - or at least start getting suspicious about - Nick's double life as a monster hunter, and he really needs to meet Eddie so that Eddie can get pulled further into the fold.
what the hell is up with all this spam ads in the comments! i know you guys probably can do nothing about it and it isn't your fault but they are freaking annoying!!
the ep was super though, love Nick, bored of his useless girl toy and his partner who is just a seriously bad actor.
loved the ep as usual, but nothing can make Hank now seem boring for me. he is such big lump of nothingness walking around around that i actually stopped noticing him all together.
Nick and Eddie story this ep was amazing, they both bring out so much in each each other. keep it coming!!! the girl was casted perfectly, just beautiful enough to be sweet and vulnerable and rough enough to be a blutebud, with big expressive eyes. perfect!
i agree though, it is about time Rayder did anything and they really what to show where is that thing with Hank dating the hexenbeist going! on an off note, is anybody else wondering what happened to the guy the two knuckle draggers (aka brothers)kidnapped. i didn't notice anybody rescuing him? but i guess now that they are dead, their house will be searched and he will be found, but it would have been nice if they actually showed or told us about it. but i do think that this ep is my favourite so far, it didn't leave me with mixed feelings about the monster of the week and for once the bad guys were actually completely human and had no actual contact with any beasts (well except when she killed or bit them), we were actually given two entirely different story lines and both had humans as the evildoers! great job!! but i want Nick to kick some bad beast's butts, i want to see him be a grimm and not a cop every now and then and kill off some of the bad ones instead of loosing them or arresting them.
