This was my first purchase from Overstock. My goal was to find a basic sofa table, on the narrow side (14") I am very happy with the table and with Overstock's service. The table arrived just as described and just as promised -- on time with all the pieces intact including a 1-page list of parts w/assembly instructions. I put it together in less than 1 hour. Time includes unpacking, checking to make sure all the parts were included, and putting it together by myself. (It would probably have gone faster if there were 2 of us.) The finish is a black distressed or antiqued look. It could easily be painted black (automobile spray paint), if that's the look you want.
Do NOT purchase this, the welds pop of when assembling, it should be about $20-30 for this. The legs apparently aren't welded to the screw plates level so the legs bow, then when you try to insert the shelf it automatically pops the lousy small welds. Must be made from aluminum foil because it's NOT sturdy welds or sturdy type metal, VERY bendable, thus it pops because it's like peanut brittle. OMG! Don't waste THIS MUCH MONEY on it! NOT WORTH IT and it's very small, ugly paint. I'm so upset I spent this much money on it, I will never buy anything from Overstock ever again, and I WAS a good customer. SMH!
I needed a slender buffet table for a client to use for serving wine and displaying glasses. It was hard to find one this narrow with a distressed finish and smoky glass. We used it in a room that has oil bronze light fixtures and bronze,counter height stools. The table metal is somewhat blackish/silvery/iron colored - it would work well with many darker metals. The finish is very versatile. The assembly was easy. Shipping was quick. It is sturdy enough for its purpose and looks much more expensive. I see there are over 200 reviews of this product so it obviously has mass appeal! Don't be anxious about the negatives in some of them.They must have been unrealistic about their expectations. I would buy it again without hesitation and definitely recommend it. Its size makes it a very useful piece for a narrow space or a hallway. Overstock certainly finds some great products. I love to use them. Thanks.
I bought three pieces in this line. The sofa table, end table and cube. The style and airiness of the glass shelving makes my small living room appear larger. Assembly was quick and easy, but some of the screw holes were not aligned quite right. A tip for those who buy, do not tighten the screws down as you go. Leave them a bit loose until all the shelving brackets are connected. Then tighten all. Leaving some "wiggle room" makes aligning the screws easier.
I like the the table, it fits just right in my little dining room. I saw this similar style in Pottery barn but way too expensive, though they both similar in style, pottery barn has made on iron cast and overstock made of metal. The only concern is the color, its say its black but it wasnt fully black..so I sprayed it with black to match with my other iron cast side table. I suggest for those who doesn't like the color..spray it with black before assembling it. But all in all..table is fine, if you are looking for not so fancy table that fits your small space...this table is perfect.
I purchased this table to use as a TV stand. It worked perfectly! I put it together by myself, very easy to assemble. About 15mins. I didn't like the black color, and knew before I ordered it I would be changing it. I went with a gold leaf paint and now it looks like I spent 3x the price! Solid, sturdy, and with the gold color it's beautiful.
I've had this table for over 3 years now and it's still in amazing condition. Holds up!
Little difficult to put together but I'm a girl. Love the brushed metal and floor pads for legs. Sturdy and beautiful.
This table is gorgeous! A perfect ******* **** knock-off. I like it because it doesn't stand out as a heavy piece of furniture. It's a chic addition to my living room. I use it as a sofa table behind my couch. It was super easy to assemble myself, too.
Glass really does open up a room! This table is a lovely accent piece in our small family room. The distressed finish of this line works for our space (which is frequently full of food-dropping, furniture scratching, messy teenagers!) Our table has perfectly drilled holes and squared parts- it feels firm and is not tippy. The metal is weighty and the glass well protected- the glass shelves sit down flush into metal frames on all sides on both the top and lower shelf. It arrived well packaged, and at lightning speed from the time I ordered it. Assembly was a 15 minute process (including liberating the bits from the packing material and taking the box out to the recycling bin) that was easily accomplished by one person. I appreciated that extra screws were included in the box. I saw this piece in a different finish on another website for a much higher price and on a whim decided to see if it was available here. Boy am I glad I checked! This is my first purchase from Overstock.com and I'll be back!

Erik Kain, Contributor
I write about video games: the industry and the culture.
Bethesda has announced its latest DLC release for Skyrim. Dubbed 'Dragonborn' the DLC will cost 1600 Microsoft Points or $20, meaning we should expect a pretty sizable release this time around.
Information beyond this excellent trailer remains scarce, but the trailer itself shows off some colorful scenery – a more vivid looking world than much of the vanilla Skyrim experience.
Check it out after the leap.
I like this trailer. It actually makes me want to play Skyrim again – not just the new content, but the old content as well.
Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. Read my Forbes blog here.
I'm still angry at Bethesda having issues with PS3 DLC. They were able to release the main game on the PS3 and fixed the major issues that were plaguing the system, but then they can't figure it out with the DLC? It's the same engine with the same language built into the game, and now they can't figure it out anymore? What a load of crap. They should just say they are lazy, and they aren't required to release DLC on the PS3 as they aren't. But saying, "we are looking into it" suspiciously sounds like they don't care to me.
The more colorful scenery comes from Morrowind. The island of Solstheim was a frozen, Nord dominated island from the TESIII expansion, Bloodmoon. There are a lot of native Morrowind things shown in the trailer like Telvanni style buildings (the mushroom looking ones that need levitation to navigate), netch (the floating blimp looking creatures) and giant mushrooms. None of those existed on Solstheim so either some of the Morrowind mainland will be included or some stuff was transplanted by refugees in the past 400 years.
Either way, this is a major bone for long time players and a chance for new ones to experience the unique landscape and perhaps culture from Morrowind.
Thank you for explaining that – I knew a lot of it looked like it was from Morrowind but wasn't savvy enough to spell it out. Makes me really excited for this DLC, more than any of the others.
Oh yes, the first DLC for Skyrim I actually -want-.
Argh, now I want to play Skyrim again! Guess I'll just wait, buy all the DLC when it's cheap (hoping that a Steam sale makes that ring true) and play it all in one go.
I don't think Skyrim's DLC will ever be "cheaper" because oblivion's expansions are still almost $20 each of course GOTY edition is always awesome just takes forever too release…fallout NV took 3 years too release thier GOTY. Too long 2 wait 4 me
Interesting, looks like Morrowind.
That said, I'm not buying it because I'm principally against DLC.
If it were called an expansion would you still buy it?
If it was released in a retail version, contained more than just a few hours of gameplay and enough improvements/additions of the original game, then yes.
I don't like DLC primarily because they are never as refined as expansion packs used to be. Also, I don't like buying things that are digital only; I prefer a real box.
Interesting. Discounting Arena, this is the first time that Elder Scrolls has sent you to the same location in two different games – and both times as an expansion add-on. It will be interesting to see how much similarity there is – will the shirtless berserkers still be there?
It also seems like they're saying "remember Morrowind?" to us, trying to sell it based on the old game. Which might well work, although it has the potential to backfire and be seen as a cash grab if enough people get grumpy about its differences to Morrowind itself, which some always do. I think that will be decided primarily by the quality of the addition, though.
So if he kills a dragon, hes evil but if the player does so, hes a hero? I got it right?
I'm glad they're departing from their closer-to-reality Skyrim design and back to the actual fantasy roots that was the Morrowind aesthetic or more specifically the fantasy aesthetic.
People want to see beautiful exotic landscapes in fantasy RPG's, because the possibly to see these artist's renditions of fantasy architecture does not exist in reality.
Looks fun… and since after something like 400 hours of game time according to steam I STILL haven't finished any of the main quests I'll probably buy it and not finish it as well.
One problem I have with Bethesda's sandbox is that once I get up to about level 30 or so. and have a journal full of guests to complete. I tend to lose focus. I don't really know who my champion, chief of Guild X, noble of three houses actually IS anymore or what I want to do next. Then I find some shiny new Mod or DLC and feel obliged to start all over again. .. only to lose focus once more when my character has become a polymath champion in multiple fields…
Here's my question, did they give into the plea of 11,000 Skyrim fans who asked for Serana to be a Marriage option and give her an even vaster dialog for the wedding as well as housing to go with hearthfire just incase you need her to stay at home for a couple quests so she can get to know the kids lol.
Also did they add a quest to permanantly blot out the sun for those who choose Vampire side? If yes to both than I'm all for this new DLC, should be fun destroying the first Dragonborn from the days of the Dragon's and Dragon Priests.
Like it.

Is Michael Tomasky's characterization of Mitt Romney as a "wimp" unfair? The 1987 Newsweek article and the 2012 Newsweek article have this common: At their core, both articles demonstrate how the candidates, both of whom hail from the Eastern wing of the GOP, have had to navigate a party with a thriving ideologically conservative base and at the same time appeal to a broader electorate. This is perhaps why both George H.W. Bush and Mitt Romney appear eager "to be liked," "risk averse" and to lack "principle" or "political identity" in the context of the campaign. But, we should look beyond commentariat characterizations of candidates in electioneering persona and instead examine the records of how the candidates performed in actual governing situations. Of course, the greater the record, the more voters have to go on in terms of evaluating how a candidate performs under varying institutional settings and political contexts.
In this post, we highlight Miller Center Oral History Program interviews with several of George H.W. Bush's 1988 campaign staff regarding the so-called "wimp factor." The interview excerpts are a great reminder that voters are inundated with media frames of the candidates, and, during the campaign season, there is a publicity battle between the commentariat and the campaigns to define the candidate.

Diner Reviews
From the moment we arrived,
everything went perfectly. We were seated promptly and were quickly and courteously attended to by the wait staff. The specialty cocktails were delightful as were all our appetizers (highly recommend the ceviche), and entrees. Our waiter was attentive and witty, and ready with recommendations and answers to all our questions. Enjoyed a perfect meal and a wonderful evening with a gorgeous view of the Miami Beach skyline. Juvia was a beautiful experience."
Dined on 7/27/2014
The food was really great and the
service once we were seated was also in time and accurate. But we were waiting for one hour to be seated having a previous reservation, seeing some empty tables and looking the people arriving later than us and seating directly, while we had to wait for one hour. We had to ask twice and the waitress finally seated us in the first table she found available. We thought they forgot our reservation. Despite this, the food was really awesome, specially the lamb chops and the risotto."

Great food and wonderfull view!
A+++++++++++ A little expensive, but its not a problem if you have all it all"
Dined on 7/21/2014
I was very badly served by the
site manager that prevented us sit by the window, under the excuse that such tables would be for five people and not four like us. After a few hours, the restaurant was filling and all the window tables, four people were placed. I called the manager again to know why the differential treatment, and this was curt, rude and did not know how to explain nervous. Unfortunate what happened, would not recommend! Such events will be recorded in my food blog."

Juvia is a great place to hang out

Dined on 7/12/2014
What i liked best about Juvia was
the view and the ambiance. Very beautiful spot, vibrant scene, really nice place. The food was very good too. The only thing was that it was very hard to hear what the waiter said, but he was very polite and friendly. It was a very good experience."

The view is terrific, service very
good, almost too attentive. The food was good but totally overpriced! I wouldn't rush back unless meeting friends for a drink, but not dinner just not worth the $$$$."

CELEBRATING OUR ANNIVERSARY. They
first wanted to sit us at table next to bar which was busy and I crowded. They moved us to outside and I asked for one of the open tables closest to the railing for a great view but we were told it was for parties of 4 only. We were squeesed into a table for 2 between two other tables an arms lenth away. One table was smoking a cigar and the smoke kept going in my face and the other table was a lady that apparently lost the battle with a bottle of perfume that it made my eyes tear. The menu was hard to understand because the descriptions of the entrees had so many words I had never heard of. Service was great!! I would go back for for coctails and the view only."

Been here a few times and it's

Dined on 6/14/2014
The views - both beach side and
bay side - are the big features here. Having been here several times now, we've decided that this is better as a drinks venue. The service is very attentive but we'd say the food is "fine" -- there are better 'high end' dinner choices in SoBe."

It is one of our favorite spots in
Miami. You must book with advance.but the service, food and atmosphere is the best, amazing view"

The service was perfect, we had
Amanda serving us and she is really an excellent professional. Inside, the air conditioning curtains are so cold that we must have a blanket to cover our back and shoulders. It doesn't make sense for a restaurant so well rated. It´s the only point that should be reviewed."

Vista deslumbrante sobre Miami ,

Dined on 6/13/2014
This is certainly one of the most
chic and visually stunning places to eat, and unlike many rooftop restaurants where the higher the room the worse the food is a sad rule, here the food was inventive and delicious. Service was informed, on time, and unpretentious, and the overall experience is exceptional. This place sparkles with creativity."

Octopus appetizer and watermelon

Service was very attentive and professional. The atmosphere was electric. Great city vibe with a mixed crowd. DJ Music very enjoyable. "

Outstanding dinning experience!
And it truly is an experience. Strong, well made cocktails, outstanding profesional subtle service (ie.moisture from my glass that had dripped on to the table when i had a sip was wiped up each time I went to the restroom) top notch food, breathtaking views, portions on the smaller side, pricey but definitely one of best overall restaurants I have been to anywhere! If you have $200 to spend on dinner/drinks you won't be disappointed!"
Dined on 5/24/2014
Loved the place but for over 200
per head I expected great food. "
Dined on 5/23/2014
Ever since Juvia opened, I've
found it always to be a good idea for a quiet, intimate conversation over an exceptional meal and extraordinary choices of good wine, not to mention the beautiful view, day or night. The way the tables are set up allows as much privacy as you can expect in a restaurant. There is no other table next to yours. Most restaurants have tables for two next to each other, which is okay, but nothing better than to know your conversation is indeed private and it can be as intimate as you wish it to be without worrying about people overhearing you. The outdoor bar area is also perfectly designed. So. Every time I have a special guest or a special occasion, Juvia is the place I choose. No question about that. "

Friday FREE NBA from Tony George
0 Reply | 212 ViewsOn 04/26/2013 09:28 AM in Cappers
Point Spread: +3/-110 New York
NY Knicks +3
I honestly think the Knicks could sweep this series, Boston does match up well against them and NY has dominated the first 2 games with some kick ass defense. If home court with worth 2 to 3 points in the NBA they are calling this game even from an oddsmakers standpoint. I do not see it. I will drink the Koolaid here and grab the points with the better team, and the Knicks DEFENSE is the key. Also Mello has pumped in 70 points in the first 2 games and is in total sync, and Boston has no answer on offense against a defense who has shut them completley down in the 2nd half of both games.
Play on the Knicks

100% of the CEO
Andrew Hotchkiss
Pros – Good pay and conditions
Benevolent employer
Decent offices
Cons – Culture changing, no job security at all. Patent cliff approaching, likely to get worse before it gets better. Therefore little opportunity for career growth in IT. Difficult working with US, lots of job protection going on.
Advice to Senior Management – Hang in there, try to be as honest as you can with staff - they're not idiots.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
Pros – - Good work/life balance (unless there's a deadline to meet, then expect to work until the small hours!)
- Good location on M3 corridor
- Some benefits are competitive, such as final salary pension
Cons – - Salary benchmarking is poor
- Career progression is slow and based on who you know, not what you know
- Performance management process is protracted and does not accurately reflect an individual's merits
- US centric organisation at the Global level
- Reorganisation of the company has led to even further resource erosion at the lower levels, but an increase in middle management
- Company unstable: a further 10% to be slashed from permanent employee numbers, yet the number of contractors continues to rise
Advice to Senior Management – Promote the most talented, not the most popular (oh, and mandate fewer e-mails and meetings so more actual work can be achieved!)
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
Pros – I work shift and receive long days off. I work 2 days 2 nights and get 6 days off.
There are opportunities to work on projects i.e. coming off shift and working with a team of people. To see a project through to its completion is satisfying knowing all the hard work you put in.
The pension and benefits scheme is one of the best I have ever seen. it is non contributory. You may also make contributions in the form of SPECS which is taken from salaries there fore not taxed.
Cons – You can do the same job as someone else but don't receive the same pay. Unfair pay scales based on time served and not knowledge.
I am told that it would take 10 years of doing the same job before I receive the same rate of pay as my colleagues.
I often feel beaten down if I am trying to hard in work, as if people want me to sit back and not work above the line as they call it
Advice to Senior Management – Show gratitude when someone has done a good job, however it is done sometimes
Pros – I took a graduate programme here.
Great environment, great people. Plenty of opportunity to take on significant projects if you show enthusiasm.
Cons – Plenty of regulation but this is to be expected in the industry
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
Pros – Great work life balance, good leadership, great team.
Cons – cant think of any cons.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
Pros – These people really do care. Every year they focus on ensuring the employees know their objectives, understand them, have a development plan, don't get too frustrated... The effort spent on people is huge (if not talking about salaries or bonuses).
Cons – Objectives cannot be met just because is "nice working here", so management have realised they have to change the way they operate. Innovation and risk taking may be the key, but you have to be prepared, and you have to be bold and brave. Current management got to their positions developing other competencies not related to bravery... so Lilly ends up being a company focused in change, but not daring to do it!
Advice to Senior Management – Stop talking about change and innovations and do it!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
Pros – great benefits, opportunity to learn new skills and develop. You can really make a difference at Lilly to your job and to peoples lives... lots of very talented people and team work is great. great social club with lots going on to suit all tastes. people tend to really like it here and stick around - ther are opportunities to do different things so you don't need to get stuck in a rut... lots of good training - soft skills as well as technical
Cons – Often lots to do - you do need to be prepared to be a bit flexible sometimes with time but your own priorities are taken into account as well and there is always good recognition for a job well done. The pharma industry has lots of challenges and bringin new products out remains top priority and does put some challenges into the business form time to time
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

By Julie Huss
---- — DERRY — A long-running dispute has one homeowner in the doghouse with his neighbor.
Anthony Lang and Len Budd have lived next door to each other on Robin Road for more than 20 years.
But they're miles away from being neighborly, thanks to continued conflict over Budd's dogs.
The men have sparred over the four pets for years, even ending up in court several times. But there's no end in sight.
Budd is heading back to court next month because the town claims he is not in compliance with the local dog ordinance.
Lang has a long list of complaints against his neighbor's four canines — a Corgi, a Scottie, a Labrador and Chesapeake Bay retriever. He said the dogs aren't trained and, as a result, make life tough for him.
He said the dogs dig, bark and do their business in his yard. Lang has made multiple complaints to the town — and has backed up those complaints with photographs.
Just ask Budd. He says his neighbor is "obsessed" with his animals and uses every opportunity to take pictures of them, regardless of what they're doing.
Lang said the town ordinance could use a little more teeth.
"The law has a real problem here," he said. "Especially for those of us who live with it day in and day out."
Any wandering dog or cat can be called a "nuisance" if it wanders onto another person's property, according to the town ordinance. Dogs that dig, scratch, go to the bathroom where they shouldn't, bark excessively, bite or chase vehicles could be in trouble — or, at least, their owners could be.
That trouble includes fines, something Budd is familiar with.
"But every time I pay, I feel like I'm saying I'm guilty," he said.
Budd said he is a good pet owner. He said he has a fence and tries to make sure his animals stay on his property. He said he often takes his Corgi and Scottie to work with him; the other dogs stay in the house during the day.
"I'm a real animal lover," Budd said. "But I think the goal is to try and take my dogs away."
He said living on Robin Road has become almost unbearable.
"He's always out there," Budd said of his neighbor. "He'll go around the neighborhood in his truck, trying to get a picture."
The town dog ordinance says if dog owners don't keep their animals under control they could also face the potential loss of the animal.
Budd is afraid he may someday lose his dogs.
"It just gets escalated every time," he said.
Budd said he loves his dogs and, if the situation doesn't improve, he may consider moving from Robin Road.
"I am so careful," he said. "They are good dogs, they're my kids. But this is excessive."

June 3, 2005
There's a new advertising campaign dealing with sex coming to a television near you, and its product seems to be breaking an unwritten rule.
The new ad is called "Making A Difference", and it promotes condoms made by Trojan. The unwritten rule: some think it breaks is airing during prime-time on mainstream broadcast networks.
It's estimated millions of people may be taking unnecessary health risks when it comes to sex each year. With those sobering statistics, it's reason enough for the makers of Trojan Brand Condoms' to start a new ad campaign.
It's called 'Make A Difference,' and its aim is to help to reduce the number of sexually transmitted diseases and of HIV/AIDS cases by creating urgency among sexually active men and women to practice safer sex. While the new advertising marks a first, with some broadcast networks agreeing to air the spots during prime-time, it seems to some as breaking an unwritten rule.
"I don't think it's appropriate. I don't approve of condom ads being targeted for our teens," said Lynne Norris, a parent of an Albemarle County 16-year-old.
While condom ads have run on network TV in the past, they have been relegated to late night viewing times. By airing during prime-time hours as well, the message of the ads will reach a much broader audience than in late night hours alone.
The tone of the advertising is informational, providing facts and figures in a responsible manner that effectively educates viewers about the potential consequences of unprotected sex.
"They have the right idea. They just don't have the right timing because they are targeting a specific audience. Prime-time may not be the right time to do that," said Alex Vaughan, an Albemarle County teenager.
The campaign is comprised of various executions, all with a poignant and sobering message in striking white type on a black background.
The website for Trojan condoms has the ads available for viewing online. They began airing this week.

SEATTLE - Some business owners want to put the brakes on a portion of the proposed Seattle Bicycle Master Plan.
David Katz owns Ravenna Interiors in the 2200 block of Northeast 65th Street, and he is worried that the plan would destroy commercial business in the area.
"A third of the road will be permanently taken with a barrier for cyclists, and there will be enough room for only one lane each way for traffic," said Katz.
He is concerned that parking on the street would cease to exist, traffic would become a mess, and it would drive business away.
However, some cyclists applaud the idea of adding a concrete barrier.
"It's like physical division between you and the cars which is certainly much more appealing," said Lauren Rebagliati.
"It would certainly make a difference for safety," added Hernan Rebagliati.
Rick Sheridan, a spokesperson for the Seattle Department of Transportation, said the plan is just a proposal, and public comments are being considered. The issue still has to go before the Seattle City Council.

ProcurementEmissions associated with procurement are significant, and also represent a great opportunity for Wesleyan to reduce emissions associated with activities beyond the border of our institution in a way that is competitive and financially attractive. A proactive sustainable procurement plan can be a powerful leverage point for reducing not only our carbon footprint, but also that of our suppliers. Actions that we can take to reduce and eventually eliminate emissions associated with our procurement policies include:
- buying locally produced goods and services to reduce emissions associated with transport
- buying lower impact products, such as those made from recycled materials, thereby reducing the lifecycle emissions associated with extraction and processing of materials
- supporting "cradle-to-cradle" sustainable product design by purchasing goods deliberately designed to be recycled and/or composted
- promoting education around the concepts and practices of climate neutrality and sustainability by engaging with suppliers throughout the supply chain
- encourage suppliers to use alternative fuels in transportation of goods
Since early 2007, Wesleyan University has practiced sustainable purchasing, the preferential procurement of supplies and services that have as little environmental impact as possible. In the past few years, the Purchasing Department has developed primary contracts with several suppliers, including WB Mason and Fisher Scientific, that offer alternative sustainable products for both office and laboratory. Purchasing continues to reduce supply chain waste through consolidated ordering and scheduled deliveries, so that products are delivered in bulk instead of through many smaller deliveries, and reductions in supplier packaging materials. These efforts, along with the collaboration from transportation and the purchase of hybrid and electric vehicles have actively demonstrated its commitment to sustainability.

Maury Brown, President of Business of Sports Network is predicting attendance for MLB will increase 5%-8% and includes a Cubs increase as one of the reasons. If you're not already following him on twitter (@BizballMaury), I definitely recommend doing so as he is a great source of information.
I dropped this note into yesterday's Mug: They're (the Brewers) averaging 33,347 through ten home dates, which puts them on pace to draw 2.7 million fans in 2011. The more I thought about it,...
The Cubs have a dilemma: a bad team and too-high ticket prices. How can they lure people back to the ballpark?
Attendance is down across MLB so far, although a few teams are bucking that trend. And some teams have seen huge decreases in attendance.
From Darren Rovell of CNBC: "Last week, when the Associated Press wrote that Major League Baseball's average attendance for the first two weeks was off 6.9 percent from last year, many news outlets just reported the number. Well, I just did the math and it's not even half as bad. While the focus is on the empty seats behind the plate at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field, the truth of the matter is that Major League Baseball is currently on pace to average about a three percent decline in attendance as compared to last year." He backs up his statement with some analysis, and charts of the most up and most down teams. The Rays are up 60% (even with a defending AL title, that's astounding to me), the Marlins are up 56%, and no one else is up even 16%. And the Nationals are off to a bad start, not sure if they're going to outdraw their television audience again this year.

SAGINAW — In the first half Traverse City St. Francis was able to contain Saginaw Nouvel running back Ryan Sullivan.
Not so in the second half.
Sullivan, limited to 54 yards on nine carries in the first two quarters, exploded for 147 yards and two touchdowns in the final two quarters in leading Nouvel to a 28-14 victory over the Gladiators Friday at Nouvel High School.
Sullivan scored on a 9-yard run in the third quarter and added a 13-yard touchdown late in the fourth that squashed St. Francis's hopes. On both drives he had key runs that led to the scores — with two 19-yard bursts on his third quarter jaunt and a 71-yard scamper to the St. Francis 21-yard line that culminated in his second TD. Sullivan finished the game with 20 carries for 201 yards.
The Panthers (6-1) clinched a playoff berth with the victory.
St. Francis (4-3) was right in the thick of the game until the final minutes, never trailing until Sullivan's first score made it a 14-7 game. The Gladiators tied the game 14-14 with 10:22 to play when Adam Armour scored on a 5-yard run and Jimmy Smith booted the extra point. However, Nouvel went right back ahead when Nicholas Ludka returned the ensuing kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown.
Joe Trucco led St. Francis offensively with 100 yards rushing on 23 carries. Daniel Gallagher added 83 yards on 16 carries. The Gladiators were playing without running back Byron Bullough, who is out two games for violating team rules.
Trucco accounted for the only score of the first half when he ran in a 2-yard score with 9:54 left in the first half. Smith kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead. The Gladiators had two other opportunities to score in the first half, but were unable to cash in — losing a fumble at the Nouvel 5-yard line and getting stopped at the Nouvel 19 as the clock ran out on the half.
Austin Hughes got Nouvel on the board near the midpoint of the third quarter, scoring from 11 yards out. He scored two plays after a fumble recovery by Joseph Mott. St. Francis had three turnovers on the night, while Nouvel had two.
Armour led the St. Francis defense with six tackles.
St. Francis returns home next Saturday to play Glen Lake.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Lawmakers took a tougher look at sentencing laws Wednesday and heard strong warnings and advice from Metro Police Chief Ronal Serpas.
Serpas and other criminal justice experts and law enforcement officials testified in front on the Fiscal Review Committee about enhancing sentencing laws. Serpas warned that if there aren't tougher sentencing laws there will not be a reduction in crime.
Currently, most criminals only have to serve 30 percent of their sentence however Serpas is advocating that armed robbers serve 100 percent of their sentence. He said the criminals have most likely committed felonies before and have no chance of rehabilitation.
He said if the state does not spend the money now to keep these people in prison they will spend it later each time they commit other crimes.
He also noted that there is also the emotional cost to each victim and neighborhood where the crimes occur.
Marianne Purcell, a legislative assistant whose fiance Chris Caris was shot and killed during a robbery at Bellacino's last year, pushed for tougher sentencing last year but the measure failed due to money. Caris, the restaurant manager, and employee Joshua Cole were shot in their heads.
"If I did nothing, then Chris and Josh and all the others who have lost their lives lose their lives for nothing," she said.
She said she was moved by the police chief's testimony and hopes new laws will bring comfort to victims and families.
Last year, the bill that failed would make violent offenders serve 85 percent of their sentence instead of 30 percent.
Former Nashville Mayor Bill Purcell and others have pushed for tougher sentencing laws, but the efforts were blocked by money concerns. On Wednesday, with renewed attention from the murder of a Vanderbilt professor and his sister, Serpas asked the state again to strengthen sentencing laws.
"Please tell me why we cannot assume a deterrent effect if these particular people are removed from the streets with 100 percent prison sentencing," he said.
He told the committee there's a certain group of offenders where rehabilitation would just be wasted. He said 90 percent of armed robbers in Nashville have a prior arrest; 29 percent for armed robbery. A 100 percent sentence, he said, is the only deterrent.
"And those armed robbers ought to know that if they have the gumption to put a gun to someone they ought to do a 100 percent in prison, behind the bars, no getting time off," Serpas said.
The fiscal committee must decide how much to fund tougher sentencing. The price, Serpas argued, depends on where you are willing to shift it.
"When state says it cost too much to keep dangerous people in prison, then they're telling you it doesn't cost you too much to live with them, though," he said. "And that's wrong. That is wrong," he said.
Serpas testified along with several other law enforcement and criminal justice experts including district attorneys and Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner George Little.
Last year, the Legislature enacted the Crooks with Guns bill to toughen sentencing laws for those who commit a gun crime.

I write about enterprise innovation.
A month back I used Traackr to look at influencers in mobile (look out for an upcoming piece on Kred if you are interested in the community of influencers around social business). One notable feature of Traackr is that the influencer list changes on almost a weekly basis. Because it is driven by a set of keywords, writers come in and out of the list, or go up and down, depending on what they are writing about and how often.
This month I tracked the influencers in Big Data. And again this list will change regularly.
What's interesting about this for me is that Big Data is an area I know comparatively little about. Many of the names on the list are new to me.
That means, I think, that I have a research tool here that can quickly allow me to become more knowledgeable in new areas.
This is vitally important in the age of knowledge flow – we need to be able to take snapshots, and we need to frame a subject area in an instant.
Though Traackr is marketed as an influence tool, I think it's a good research tool in general. On the mobile project, I've now set up my own monitoring service (more in the next post) which keeps check of what influencers are saying about Nokia (NOK). Samsung and the iPhone (AAPL).
Below are the results of the Big Data survey. Influencers are ranked by Reach, Resonance and Relevance. The terms are explained below. Here are the top 5 according to Traackr.
UPDATE – In fact Kristen Nicole is now with SiliconAngle.
These are being driven by keywords like "data analytics", "big data economics" , "big data and transport", "big data and health" etc. Bear in mind that the score mixes frequency with being on-topic, as well as how they impact an audience, and it measure across blogs, Facebook and Twitter.
Bob Gourley of CTO Vision comes out on top with David Smith of Revolution Analytics, and Klint Finley of SiliconAngle.
As I said earlier this is not an area I much cover, so it's great to find new names and to know they have relevance for the topics I'm interested in.
Numbers 6 – 10, bearing in mind these can change weekly and so include some surprises. I hadn't thought of Dion Hinchcliffe as a Big Data writer but I can see from Traackr that has has been getting traction for his end of year post on Emerging Tech Trends.
Klint Finley (# 3 on the list here). EMC *is* a sponsor of the ServicesAngle subsite (and a Wikibon client), but like John says we are independent of EMC, much like ReadWriteWeb's cloud section is sponsored by Intel and VMware and Wired's enterprise section is sponsored by Dell. (BTW, Dell sponsors our new DevOpsAngle site.)
I'm also curious about the methods because there are some big omissions, though in some cases I can see where this happens (Derrick Harris at Gigaom doesn't tweet much, so I can see why he didn't make the list even though he's influential).
Rich Brueckner here. It is really an honor to be named to your Top 20 list of Big Data influencers, but I am sure that it has to do with my publications at http://inside-BigData.com and http://insideHPC.com.
Overheard in PDX is just my hobby ;-)
Haydn you were really far too kind to me. I appreciate that, I think this really just points out how strange these online ranking capability results can be. I write about Big Data and so do others at the http://CTOvision.com blog and I'm grateful for the increase in hits over the last few days. But the fact is we are students of folks like John Furrier and the fine folks at SiliconAngle. Dion is another person who has a tremendous influence on me, and for enterprise IT I strongly recommend Christian Verstraete.
I'm tickled pink to be on the list! But dear John, Dion and Christian you guys know you are changing the world in very positive ways, so thanks for what you are doing!
And thanks again Haydn for making my blog's hit meter spin like a fan.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Debra Sanborn has two reasons to be excited about next week's Downtown Art Walk.
As the owner of Peninsula Studios, Sanborn will welcome visitors to her Traverse City gallery. The painter in her looks forward to sharing her work with a new group of art lovers.
"For me it is a wonderful opportunity to bring people into the gallery that don't come downtown," said Sanborn, who has participated in the biannual event for the past three years.
She is among 18 local retailers who will exhibit the works of area talent during the ninth annual spring Downtown Art Walk from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, May 3.
"The success of Art Walk has been so great — a success for the businesses that participate and the artists," said Bryan Crough, executive director of the Downtown Development Authority. "It is a win, win."
The public is invited to enjoy an evening of art, refreshments, food and music on a self-guided tour through downtown Traverse City. Artists from the Grand Traverse region and beyond will be on hand to present their works.
Walking maps will be available at each exhibit location, including: Allure, Americana Gallery, Art and Soul Gallery, Cherry Republic, City Opera House, Cog's Creek Gallery and Studios, Daisy Jane, Great Lakes Bath and Body, Haystacks, McMillen's Custom Framing, Morsels Espresso an Edibles, Old Mission Traders, Orvis Streamside, Peninsula Studios, Red Ostrich, Sweet Pea, Wooden Gallery, Yen Yoga and Fitness.
Crough says the success of Art Walk has sparked several new related activities. A permanent mobile-style installation of car hoods, reinvented by local artists into works of art, will be unveiled at noon on Saturday, May 4, in the stair towers of the Hardy Parking Deck. The Downtown Traverse City Association commissioned the work using proceeds from the Downtown Public Art Fund.
In addition, several large cherry sculptures, part of the MAD Cherries for Charity public art project, will be on display throughout downtown April 28 through May 4. As part of an NMC entreprenuership class project, the group will host an auction of the sculptures with proceeds to benefit the Women's Resource Center, Third Level Crisis Center and Freedom Builders.
"We love the fact that other groups are willing to be part of a celebration of the arts in our downtown," Crough said.
Sanborn she hopes the events will allow people to see Traverse City as a destination for art.
"It would be great if we were known for having an art district," she said.

Looming in an obscure region of the Elemental Chaos, a fortress of uneven walls and jagged towers rises from a foundation of black clouds. A passerby might mistake this structure for a bastion of the djinns, but on close examination it seems to be constructed of ash-blackened steel. The clouds are in fact rolling banks of burning, suffocating smoke. This is the Choking Palace, home of Ehkahk, the Smoldering Duke, and his court.
Ehkahk is a gaunt creature, the height of a human child, with ash-gray skin. Smoke leaks constantly from his eyes and mouth, leaving trails in the air when he moves, and pours from his back, giving the impression of flexing wings. Those who take Ehkahk's small size to mean he is no threat, though, rarely survive to repeat their mistake.
Ehkahk's Tactics
Ehkahk claims to disdain violence but actually delights in exercising his abilities, particularly against those he deems disrespectful. He uses venomous vapors to neutralize as many enemies as possible, then wreaks havoc. The most troublesome foe becomes a target for consuming smoke, and he looses the choking kennel against enemies that are mobile. He prefers to remain at range and aloft, making use of ride the smoke when possible.
Ehkahk Lore
Arcana DC 17: Ehkahk, the Smoldering Duke, is a small but powerful creature of poisonous fumes who rules a court in his fortress, the Choking Palace. Although his domain, called Fume, is not large, and he does not always treat his subjects well, he protects the place mercilessly against attackers. The other powers of the Elemental Chaos seem to acknowledge his rule; he sends regular ambassadors to the Charcoal Palace in the City of Brass and occasionally visits there himself.
Arcana DC 26: Nobody is certain of Ehkahk's true nature. Different tales claim that he is an elemental who developed an abnormal degree of intelligence; the offspring of an efreet and a djinn; and even the child or a fragment of a slain primordial.
Ehkahk's duchy is home to all manner of creatures, from near-mindless elementals to rogue efreets and djinn, and even a sizable population of natural beings. Any who lack a home are welcome in Ehkahk's domain—as long as they're willing to swear lifelong fealty to him.
Arcana DC 31: Ehkahk seems to have no fear of death. He has more than once returned to his court after being "slain" in the sight of witnesses. Perhaps the Smoldering Duke is truly unkillable, or maybe multiple different individuals have taken on his title.
