Austria represents Finland's first test at the 2014 Winter Olympics. If the Finns can contain Austrian sniper Thomas Vanek, they will be in a good position to win.

Ducks @ Wild, and the Teemu Selanne Conspiracy
Two separate comic series I made about the Ducks, thought if anyone could enjoy them it'd be the Battle of Cali crew... This should hold you off until the next Sleektoon! THE AGONY OF THE-D (Part 1) THE AGONY OF THE-D (Part 2)
Disclaimer: Before you delve into my attempt at satire, comedy and drama, please note that this comic is intended to be for humorous purposes...
It's official boys and girls, Teemu is back for next season. ...and exhale. Phew.
In the twilight of his career, Teemu Selanne has passed countryman Jari Kurri on the career goal scoring list. Can the Finnish Flash now lay claim to being Finland's greatest hockey star?
"We believed that we could come back, and it was a huge comeback. After 23 years playing for the national team, after five Olympics, this is a dream come true...If somebody were to tell us before the tournament we would win the bronze medal, we would have taken that." -Teemu Selanne after Finland's bronze medal win
Teemu Selanne Mcfarlane. I don't know if anyone is looking to add the new Teemu Mcfarlane figure to their rink (or if they even own a rink), but this is what it looks like. Apparently, the scaling was changed at some point in the 20 or so series since they last made a Ducks player, but he's considerably bigger and bulkier than the three pictured figures. He looks like Chara out there. Congrats Teemu. Sorry you missed the gold this year.
The Kings put a great effort on the ice last night. It's no secret that the individual talent on the Kings' roster has seldom translated into a winning formula as a whole, but last night showed us...

I saw it just while driving by when the geometrical structure of those colored plastic flowers caught my attention.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

METAMORA, Ill. -- A 100 year-old Metamora man has been invited to throw out the first pitch at Friday's Cubs home opener.
Louie Reinhart is a life-long Cubs fan. His 100th birthday just happens to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Wrigley Field this year.
Louie's daughter contacted the Cubs asking if they could send Louie a souvenir as a birthday gift. Instead, he received a letter from Cubs' owner Tom Ricketts thanking him for his support all of these years and an invitation to throw out the first pitch.
He's been practicing for the big day.
"The girls here have been helping me," said Reinhart of the staff at the assisted living community where he resides. "They got a heavier ball and I've been throwing that back and forth to them. I think its going to help me to throw from this wheelchair."
Louie says he first became a Cubs fan because his father worked near Wrigley Field and was friends with some of the team's players.

Green Bay will try to get back into the hunt for the NFC North title with a road win Sunday against Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Off to a 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS start, this has been far from a strong start to the season for the Green Bay Packers after last year's 15-1 SU regular season. To be fair, the loss to Seattle should have been a win both SU and ATS if not for the blown call by the replacement refs.
Follow @sbnation | Like SB Nation on Facebook | Subscribe to SB Nation YouTube
But it doesn't change the fact that Green Bay is averaging just 21.3 points per game this season, down from 35 points per game in 2011. And the lack of protection for Aaron Rodgers motivated one online sportsbook to post NFL player props on whether he would be the most-sacked QB of 2012.
Indianapolis went into their bye last week with a 1-2 record both SU and ATS. The Colts handed the Minnesota Vikings their only loss of the season so far in Week 2, but followed that up with handing Jacksonville its only win of the year in Week 3.
The biggest story out of the Colts' camp over the bye week was Coach Chuck Pagano being diagnosed with leukemia. Pagano will be out indefinitely as he fights the disease, and the team will be led by interim coach Bruce Arians.
The jury is still out on this Indianapolis Colts team. In just a three-game sample size, we've seen the team look very bad against Chicago, good against Minnesota and average against Jacksonville. And how will Pagano's absence affect the team?
Will they rally in his absence, or will it cause a distraction?
From what we've seen out of the Packers so far this year, we aren't quite ready to lay seven points on the road against a team coming off of a bye. Personnel-wise, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Packers roll here. But until they show us the killer instinct they've displayed in recent years, we'll take the points on the big home dog.
PICK: Indianapolis +7

By Shawn Regan
---- — HAVERHILL — Police have arrested a suspect in Monday's robbery of the Pentucket Bank branch across from Westgate Plaza on Lowell Avenue.
Daniel Pierce, 30, 303 Kingsbury Ave., was held overnight at the Haverhill Police Station and will be arraigned this morning for unarmed robbery in Haverhill District Court, Deputy police Chief Donald Thompson said.
The arrest was based on tips generated from The Eagle-Tribune's timely publishing of the bank robbery story and surveillance photos from the bank," police Lt. Robert Pistone said.
Police said the suspect entered the bank just after 2 p.m. while wearing a mask that covered half his face. The man approached a teller and demanded cash, and the teller complied. The man then left the bank on foot.
Pistone said detectives followed up on numerous tips, which led to the collection of evidence and information tying Pierce to the crime.
"The Haverhill Detective Division worked tirelessly as a team the past three days on this bank robbery, which resulted in Pierce's arrest less than 72 hours after the bank robbery," Pistone said.

As construction starts on the next Expo Line phase, a major federal approval was received this week to link trains across downtown Los Angeles, and open houses were scheduled on the planned extension of rail service from Culver City to Santa Monica.
The planned hearings come as the federal government approved the concept of a major light rail tunnel under downtown Los Angeles to allow Expo and Blue line trains to connect to Gold Line tracks near Union Station.
Metropolitan Transportation Agency officials said last week that the Federal Transit Administration gave a green light to the $1.37 billion "Regional Connector" project, a nearly-two mile set of tunnels from the 7th at Figueroa Streets station north and then east under Bunker Hill and the Civic Center area to Little Tokyo.
The federal action means the downtown tunnels have completed the environmental review process and can now go to the design and build phases. Federal aid is expected to fund much of the project. The Regional Connector will allow one-seat light rail service from Montclair and Pasadena to Long Beach, and from East Los Angeles to Santa Monica, possibly within seven years.
Actual construction of the second phase of the Expo Line began this month, with the demolition of an old freight viaduct over Motor Avenue in Cheviot Hills, and the construction of parking lots along Colorado Boulevard in Santa Monica. The new passenger rail line will bisect Santa Monica on the southern side of Colorado Boulevard, and the new lots will replace lost on- street parking.
Metro and the Exposition Construction Authority officials said two meetings this month will include a short presentation, followed by an "open house" format listening session.
The open houses will be at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the Vista Del Mar Child And Family Service Gymnasium, 3200 Motor Ave., in Cheviot Hills, and at 6:30 p.m. July 18 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.
The Expo Line's second phase will extend two sets of tracks west from Robertson at Venice boulevards along MTA property that formerly hosted Southern Pacific steam and electric engines, and then diesel freight service until the late 1980s. Service has already begun on the first Expo phase, from downtown south to Exposition Park and then .

(Liverpool Echo) Bishop Richard Blackburn talks about Back To Church Sunday Read Mo
With only around 10% of Britons attending a church service each week, Back To Church Sunday is a big idea – and an ambitous one.
The annual initiative, which was launched seven years ago, is operated by a network of Anglican dioceses – but they are keen to share their experience with other Christian churches.
This Sunday will be 2011's Back To Church Sunday and Bishop Richard Blackburn – currently the acting Bishop of Liverpool – says: "It's a great opportunity to put ourselves in the shoes of many people who do come to church at various points in their lives but, for whatever reason, are hesitant about going through the church doors....

CATEGORIES MoviesWhat has been rumored since the end of January is closer to becoming fact: The 84th annual Academy Awards may nix in-show performances of the two Best Original Song nominees ("Man or Muppet" from "The Muppets" and "Real in Rio" from "Rio"). While no final decision has been made, at least one person tangentially involved in the Best Original Song category isn't waiting for the other shoe to drop. Judd Apatow will not let any potential Muppet snubs stand!
The writer/director/producer (and mentor to "Muppets" star Jason Segel) took to Twitter on Tuesday to express his displeasure with any plans to keep the Muppets away from the Kodak Theater on Feb. 26.
"The Oscars doing their best to make sure you won't have to listen to any Muppets," he wrote, before later adding, "we need to start a riot."
No word yet on organizing plans, but Apatow has spent the better part of the afternoon retweeting upset fans and urging people to send tweets directly to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (@TheAcademy). Check out a smattering of his tweets and retweets below.

A sex offender who was on the run from Florida is back in jail in that state two weeks after he was caught in Georgia following a wild four-county police chase.
We have dashcam video of that chase that started in Alabama and ended in a crash more than 80 miles away in Camilla.
Fort Gaines Police officer Andrew Brown was just inside the Georgia line when Alabama law enforcement handed over a high speed pursuit. His dash cam video captured what turned into a multi county chase.
"Supposedly he had attempted to strike an officer the chief of police in Abbeville," said Brown.
But behind the wheel of this stolen Mazda Protégé is wanted Florida sex offender Mathew Bozell who has no intentions of giving up or slowing down. He raced into Calhoun County reaching triple digit speeds through the city of Edison where he swerved toward a police cruiser.
"He had total disregard for me and other officers as well as the general public," said Brown.
The chase moves into Baker County and the city of Newton where the police chief blocked off traffic at Highway 91. The small sedan is moving so fast it begins to leak oil which you can see spray onto the cruiser's windshield.
"The fastest I noted is he got up to 115 miles per hour." The suspect makes it from Ft. Gaines to Mitchell County in about 30 minutes. Here deputies put out stop sticks but he manages to avoid them as he speeds into the city of Camilla.
But his need for speed would eventually be his down fall. Just ahead of those blue lights, the car mows over railroad tracks at the corner of Broad and Oakland Avenue, the car rolls over in a ditch.
"With that type of crash it's astonishing the he did walk away with very minimal injuries," Brown said.
First responders treated Bozell who is facing a host of charges in three states with the most serious in Florida. Looking back at the 70 mile chase at break neck speeds, it's certainly one pursuit this officer will never forget.
Mathew Bozell is currently looking at a sentence of 30 years to life. He was listed as a sexual absconder and was on probation for sexual battery of a child 12 to 15 years old.
Bozell was driving a car that was stolen in Florida. In Clay County. He's charged with bringing stolen property into the state, driving on a suspended license, fleeing, and attempting to elude.

Appearance: This Oktoberfest pours a clear deep orange color and is topped with ½" of white head that tends to hang around nicely.
Smell: This beer smells of German malts, spices and yeast, seems to be a typical Oktoberfest.
Taste: It does not taste like the typical Oktoberfest though it has a smooth and creaminess to it that makes it easier to drink than most Oktoberfest. It has a nice malt base with a spice flavor that doesn't overpower the beer.
Mouthfeel: This is a smooth medium bodied Oktoberfest that is easy drinking yet has plenty of flavors to go around.

One of my new favorite Fest style beers,poured a clear bronze with a delicate looking 1/2 finger slight off white head.Grainy aromas a bit toasted with some caramel doughy sweetness a bit of iron is detected as well as well as some leafy hop,truly American in its larger dose of peppery hop but staying true with its lightly sweet doughy maltiness it has something for everyone and purists I really liked this one glad I have alot more.

4.47/5 rDev +9.8%
Appearance – This is a brilliant, crystal clear lager halfway between orange and brown with a nice, off-white head that left lacing on the inside of my pint glass. I don't want to call the beer copper because that really doesn't do it justice. I just couldn't stop staring at it the color was so brilliant and perfect.
Smell – No aromatic hops here so the bouquet is all malt, and man what a wonderful aroma this beer has. It's toasty with a bit of whole wheat dough and very simple in the nose which is just as it should be. The smell rightfully lacks sweetness which is a big mistake among American brewers of the style.
Taste – This is phenomenal. The flavor picks up some hops but mostly it is an incredible mix of malts, and again the sweetness typical of many pretenders of the style is all but absent. The malt is raw and slightly doughy with a slight uncooked biscuit character supplemented with mature, unsulphored cane molasses, second molasses if not the third boil.
Mouthfeel – This is shy of medium in the body and pleasantly flat to mild with a teasing bitterness that begs for sausage and mustard. It's a bit rougher than other versions that I've had but really hit the spot.
Drinkability – This is easily the best Oktoberfest beer manufactured in the US that I have ever had the pleasure to consume. It's simple, straight to the point, on style, and literally transported me back to Munich.

On tap and poured into my new and now beloved liter stein at the 2006 Great Lakes Oktoberfest. The place was packed (two and a half hour wait when we walked in at 9pm!), but we did manage grab a table in the pub for a few hours before heading across town for a late bite. Back to the beer, I was immediately struck by the color, clarity, and impressive head. Indeed this brew is quite the looker. Pours a crystal clear coppered, orange leaning, amber with minimal carbonation, and a thick, voluminous light brown head. Retention is top notch. Aroma is stylistically correct but a touch light to my preferences. Notes of caramel syrup, Vienna/German malts, and that very autumn, almost pumpkin like smell associated with Marzens were all present but on the faint side. Flavor was caramel and toast, very German and autumnal but again a bit light. Subtle amounts of raisins, a very light fruitiness, and a brushing of hops finishes off the job. Body is medium, lightly carbonated, and rich with out any muddling or lack of cleanliness. Drinability is through the roof. Very nice example of an Oktoberfest. Would drink again if given the opportunity.

Pours a nice copper-caramel color with nice clarity, creamy looking head that sticks around for a little bit, minimal lacing left on the glass. The nose is a malt-fest, filled with toasted bread, butter, yeast, spices, slight floral hops, caramel, toffee, biscuits. The taste is well balanced and on the sweet side up front, hitting with caramel and toffee toasted malts. The yeast flavors work well to balance this and provide a nice structure to the flavor profile. Spices come alive, maybe some clove and/or a hint of cinnamon, I can't quite put my finger on it, but some spice is definitely there, and once again, it helps to counter the sweetness of the malt. Medium, creamy, and overall dense body with mild carbonation, leaves a slight spice filled and yeast-heavy aftertaste on the palate. Mild bitterness and some light hops in the background that become a little more noticeable towards the end; they are musty, dry, leafy in character.
I'm not too well versed in O-fests or Marzens, but this beer is great. In fact, it's quite a bit different than many of the other Oktoberfests I have had, very ambiguous yet very familiar all at the same time. A nice collection of flavors from the abundance of malts, this beer also makes a nice winter warmer, if you can hold onto it for that long.

A: A medium amber with brilliant clarity. The cream off-white head has a good retention time slowly dissipating over a couple of minutes.
S: Light toasted malt aroma and an allergy stuffed nose, but not too bad as I just smell more of the soap on my hand than this beer initially. A very clean lager having no fruity esters, no DMS no Diacetyl. Malt aroma increase as it warms.
T: Rich German Malt flavors (Munich and Vienna) dominate with a light toastiness and a slight hint of caramel. There is a moderately-light earth noble hops flavor with a touch of spice. A firm hops bitterness provides enough balance to make this malt driven beer dry out on the finish with lingering bitterness and a slight grainy malt aftertaste. Again a very clean lagering process so no fruitiness nor diacetyl.
M: Smooth medium bodied with moderate carbonation. There is a slight prickle at the back of the but that could be my allergies going off here.
O: An excellent Oktoberfest, Great Lakes is on Hell of a brewery that consistently reminds me that lagers a worth my time and attention despite being a huge ale fan.
Looks like a 10/12/12 best by date

Purchased from Three Cellars in Franklin, WI. Pours a medium amber body with a rocky off-white head. Aroma is a deliciously inviting sweet taffy. Medium bodied with robust malt flavors from start to finish with just a hint of bitterness. This is one of the best octoberfest beers I've tried this year.

Great Lakes Oktoberfest, 2010
Smooth drinking Oktoberfest that pours a copper hugh with little head or retention. Hint of toffee on the nose. Beer has a taste of caramel malts that sit on the back of the tongue, a hint of hops that, and definitely bready aftertaste that lingers. Body of the beer is not as heavy as expected. All in all a drinkable Oktoberfest, but not my favorite of the season.

4.58/5 rDev +12.5%
Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a dimpled mug.
Appearance: The body has a deep orange amber color with very good clarity. Its head builds up thick and creamy. It's just off white in color and slowly fades to a thinner covering.
Smell: The aroma has nice spicy and earthy hops with a wonderful sweet malty character.
Taste/Mouth feel: Its flavor has a deep malty base with light toasty bready notes and nice caramel sweetness. Balance comes from spicy, herbal and earthy hops. The texture is smooth and easy drinking with modest carbonation and a good solid medium to full body.
Notes: Absolutely wonderful balance of flavor, body and drinkability.

First to remark that the end of august is when the fall seasonals always start hitting the shelves, just a little edumacation.
Unfortunately I was not impressed by this beer much.
Beautiful looking amber, very nice head.
Smell is dominated by a decomposing grass smell.
Taste is ok exept for that decomposing taste that lingers well after you finnish the brew.
It feels good and is very drinkable in general but that odd taste really ruins it for me.
Definately the worst oktoberfest ive tried and the worst ive tried from greatlakes. Not really a bad beer over all. I would drink it but theres better for the price. I have access to many kinds of hard to find brews so its very unlikely i will ever buy this one again.

12 oz. bottle poured into a GLB pint glass.
A - One-finger head of soft, fluffy foam that slowly dissolves into a sheen of little bubbles across the surface. Color is copper orange and clear. Steady steams of tiny, tight bubbles flow thru the pint to the surface throughout the tasting.
S - Rich, lightly toasted malts, caramel, and brown sugar. Just a hint of hops in the background.
T - Just like the nose, but a tad earthier. The toasted malts and caramel really stand out along with a hint of toffee. There's also a hint of bitter citrus, like orange zest. A touch of hops appear at the end of the finish to add a pinch of spice.
M - Crisp, with good carbonation. A little fizzy that gives way to a soft creaminess. Medium body. Nice, well-blended, well-balanced structure. Clean finish is a tad dryer than the nose suggests and lingers, too.
O - A delicious example of the style, it pairs well with grilled sausages and kraut. It's next to impossible to only drink one at a sitting. As good as it is from the bottle, it's even better on draft. While I enjoy the summer wheats, I'm always chomping at the bit to get to the Autumn beers, and this one dominates as a fridge favorite because it's fuller and more complex than many of its brethren. It's outstanding.

12oz brown bottle.
The lacing makes a spectacle of it's self, copper clarity is stunning. Clean malty nose of toasted bread with some spicy hop too. Smooth and a bit creamy with a delicate medium body. Malt is quite complex with fresh baked bread, dried hay and a hint of caramel. Spicy hop bitterness is there from start to after taste. Dry finish and the flavor lingers slowly away.
Seriously great beer here. One of the top picks for O-fests.

From notes.
12oz bottle $1.85 a single
Pours one and a half fingers worth of egg shell colored head. Crystal clear amber colored body.
Smells of toffee, Carmel, dark brown sugar, bready yeast.
Tastes similar to what the smell could tell you. Bready yeast, toffee, carmel, dark sugar.
Mouthfeel is medium thin, medium carbing, a balanced amount of hop bitterness on the finish.
Overall this is almost quaffable. Very tasty and highly drinkable.
I'm going to pick this up again soon.

Staff Writer
It's Independence Day and Papa John's of Carolina Beach has your dinner choice covered with delicious pizzas made with the freshest ingredients. Everyone loves pizza, any time of the day, anywhere which is why Papa John's will be all over the Island this week, even on the beach! They have recently introduced the "Papa's Cruiser" to their delivery fleet, giving them the ability to deliver fresh hot pizzas to anyone, anywhere on the Island and even out at Freeman Park! Don't worry about trying to cook on the beach, or trying to get off the north end and find a restaurant. Use Papa John's fast convenient delivery service and never have to leave your spot on the beach! When at home this week, you can forgo the disastrous backyard BBQ's and actually enjoy your time with family and friends while Papa John's takes care of all of the cooking. Papa John's has been at the top of the pizza business for years and the menu selections reflect their commitment to delivering their customers with the best pizza made with the freshest ingredients. At Papa John's you will find plenty of options when it comes to creating the perfect pizza. New to the menu is the Chicken Parmesan, "a great combination of garlic parmesan and pizza sauce with sliced chicken strips, mozzarella, parmesan and Romano cheeses and Italian herb seasoning." You can build your own using the massive list of available toppings or just trust in the Papa John's own chefs and order one of their pizza creations. Some of their very own masterpieces include "The Works" pizza "loaded with a mouth watering combination of pepperoni, Canadian bacon, Italian sausage, fresh sliced onions and green pepper, and finished with gourmet baby portabella mushrooms and ripe black olives." The works is for the pizza lover who just loves it all and wants to taste everything in every bite. If you are a true carnivore then you will love "the Meats" pizza from Papa John's. "Created for the meat fanatic in you, the Meats pizza is piled high with your favorites-pepperoni, sausage, beef, hickory-smoked bacon and Canadian bacon. It's bursting with hearty flavor." A great choice for summertime is the" Hawaiian BBQ Chicken" pizza. This "Island inspired" pizza "is covered in authentic barbeque sauce, grilled all-white meat chicken, hickory smoked bacon and fresh sliced onions, then topped with sweet pineapple for a decidedly tropical twist."
If you want to take a tip from the person who started Papa John's then you will order "John's Favorite" pizza. This is founder "John Schnatter's favorite pizza, loaded with pepperoni, sausage and a six cheese blend of Mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, Provolone and Fontina then sprinkled with their special blend of Italian herb seasonings." Whether or not you decide to build your own pizza or just order one of Papa John's own creations is up to you, but you will most definitely want to add on an order of breadsticks, cheesesticks, bacon cheesesticks, chicken strips, wings or any of their wonderful side items. Finish any meal off with dessert from Papa John's. "Make a perfect meal even better by finishing it off with our delicious Cinnapie. Featuring our fresh original dough topped with sweet cinnamon filling and brown sugar streusel drizzled with white icing and baked to sweet perfection."

Is it already time to throw in the towel for the defending Stanley Cup champions? What was an up-and-down season now seems to be more on the negative side. Everyone expected the Hawks to take a hit when their secondary scoring essentially disappeared in their post-Cup dismantle, but their weaknesses have certainly been exposed.
GM Stan Bowman recently added Michael Frolik to try and punch up the offense while the Hawks are publicly trying to extend Brent Seabrook before he hits restricted free agency. And while Chicago's power play may be clicking at a high percentage, their penalty kill is one of the worst in the league.
Status: On the bubble. Chicago is part of the messy logjam between 3rd and 12th in the Western Conference. If they have a bad week, the Hawks may just cut their losses and attempt to create cap flexibility with an eye on the Brent Seabrook contract.
Need: A time machine to bring back Duncan Keith and Dave Bolland from last year. Barring that, penalty kill help for both forward and defense
Players On The Block: Nick Boynton ($0.5 million), Tomas Kopecky ($1.2 million), Marty Turco ($1.3 million).
Prediction: Stan Bowman tries to make a deal with Satan to make Marian Hossa and Brian Campbell disappear ($13 million in cap space for a combined 50-or-so points this season). Satan declines, and the Hawks trade away draft picks for depth players.

After your conversation
Send a thank you note immediately. Hard copy letters are much appreciated but e-mail notes are also acceptable. Personalize your letter by referencing something from your conversation that was particularly helpful. If the person referred you to another friend or colleague, state your plan of action for contacting that person.
View a sample networking thank you note
Review and evaluate the conversation. Go back over your notes to make sure the information is clear. Also, make note of any impressions you have from the conversation. Ask yourself:
- What did I learn from this interview (both positive and negative impressions)?
- How does what I learned fit with my own interests, abilities, goals, values, etc.?
- What more would be helpful to know?
- What plan of action can I make?
Contact people referred to you by the person you spoke with. Make sure to immediately mention the mutual contact as well as any particular reason why the person you originally spoke with thought this new person might be helpful. Remember to abide by all of the above rules regarding timing, etiquette, and thank you notes.
Keep your contacts informed. If your original contact referred you to someone who was helpful, send him/her a quick note with that information. Likewise, if a particular resource or research avenue was fruitful, let the person know that as well. Networking contacts -- especially Wesleyan alumni and parents -- are often sincerely interested in helping if they can and are curious about what ultimately happens in your career adventures.

Limited menu. The order was taken
fast yet the food took for ever to arrive."
Dined on 8/24/2014
The best surprise was the
incredible downtown view. If we hadn't sat outside I would have still been pleased but the ambiance outside was great even on an August midday. Under the spacious umbrellas the temperature was lovely. Our meal took a little longer than I would have expected but when it came, it was worth the wait. Fresh ingredients, well-balanced. Our server also made the suuggestion of the strawberry basil mimosa. So good I'll make it at home."

Good welcome, very nice service
with a tasty food and an amazing view of the Miami Bay and Downtown, what more could you expect? It's vibrant without being snob, you definitelly should try it; one of the funniest dinners we had in Miami!! Thanks to Marcelo."

The service is really bad, they
took so many time for everything, looks like they forgot about you! You have to ask for the same thing many times. And the food is worst, we asked for tiradito, the worst ever, the fish was awful the quality was really bad, and then a chicken so dry and with any flavor. We sat at the terrace and suddenly some ice came from the sky, it hurt me. In resume it can't be worst."

...the wrong night but the "crudo"
presentation experience was embarrassing: 4 tuna slices, each one smaller than the size of a nigiri sushi, quality just fair. We ordered 4 different main courses, none to be remembered. We read many good reviews about this place but honestly much ado about nothing."

The restaurant is beautiful, the
good is presented amazingly. The service was not was I'd expect from such a high-end establishment (our server would go missing for long periods of time) and the music was way too loud"
Dined on 8/14/2014
We hadn't specified outside, but
when we arrived that request was accommodated in a reasonable amount of time. Our server was very good at explaining the entrees and guiding us along. The pace of the meal was just right. A pause to talk and digest but not too long. Oh, and the food was first rate."

After waiting 1 hour for being
seated, even though I made reservation, the service was poor. We were 5 persons and the waitress barely talked to us, didn't even said anything about the menu and took forever to bring the dishes to the table. We got there at 8:15 pm (on Wednesday) and left at 12:20. 4 hours for a dinner. They brought the main entrance to 3 members of my party and made us wait 10 minutes to bring the rest."

I made a reservation for Miami
Spice by computer and got a response for noon on Sunday. When I got there there was no miami spice on Sunday. And there was no need to make a reservation because all they had was Brunch. The Menu was very short and the room was very cold. We could not eat on the terrace with the views because it was raining"

I had a "seafood" risotto for
dinner and it had only ONE shrimp and two mussels.... Very disappointed..... No bread served at the table we ordered some flatbread appetizer which came burned.... Bad bad ... I was expecting a bit more of this restaurant. Not coming back again!"
Dined on 8/2/2014
What a disappointment!! Beautiful
view and decor but the food was awful. It started off well -- Scallop appetizer had good presentation and delicious, although only three small scallops with a few tiny pieces of assorted vegetable. Downhill from there. The chicken is tastier at Publix. Two small legs on top of two pieces of tepid, uncooked (not al dente) ravioli with a teaspoon of tasteless squash. My Husband ordered the seafood risotto. The seafood had no taste other than whatever they had cooked with the risotto of which I couldn't have more than one bite. Check was $120 with tip, 1 glass of $12 wine, no dessert or coffee. Left feeling ripped off and won't be back."

If you are looking for Friday
night drinks topped by a spectacular view, Area 31 may be your choice. If what you need is a nice place to dine and wine and enjoy a conversation with your counterparts, go somewhere else. The noise level, at least on Friday evenings is beyond description! The staff, however, did its best to accommodate us at a quieter corner outside."

Wanting to try a new restaurant
conveniently located to my friend's office and me, I found Area 31 on Open Table which fit our needs. Located on the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel in Downtown Miami, we had a beautiful view to go along with an excellent dinner. We each ordered an appetizer and then shared the Red Snapper with which we tried two of their sauces. While I found the Red Pepper Sabayon not to have a great deal of flavor, the Tomato/Olive/Caper was very flavorful and the fish was cooked perfectly and really did not need any sauce. Had it not been for the valet parking which you have no choice but to use, I would give this restaurant 5 Stars. First it is $15, plus tip, with validation and then it took 20 minutes to get my car."

We went last night for our
anniversary and were seated at a lovely table outside. Awesome views of the city. The service was top notch from every staff member that came to our table. We had the sashimi tuna which was perfect and the scallops were so good we ordered a second serve! Entrees: Pork trio - absolutely delicious, and snapper with sides of brussels, quinoa and yucca - loved everything. Great value desert selections - you choose mini deserts from the menu...3 pieces at $11 was just perfect for 2. Very nice to be offered complimentary bubbles at the end of our meal. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back. Thanks for a great night."

We've been going to Area 31 since
it opened, through at least three incarnations. The food is very good. We mostly go for the great otudoor dining and the amazing view of Miami. Can't really see Biscayne Bay from the dining area, but the view of Brickell Ave. is truly world-class. Could be NYC, could be Hong Kong. Really nice. The new bar scene is very energetic, to say the least. Sadly on this latest occasion (July 24) the service was very slow. I am not sure if the waiter was overly challenged (he had tables both inside and out) or the kitchen was slow. Many of the bar patrons, seeking perhaps a respite from the heavy bass music or the crowd at the bar, kept coming over to sit down in the dining area of the terrace. Distracting."
Dined on 7/24/2014
Lived in Miami my whole life and
never enjoyed a view of the Brickell high-rises as much. Looked like Park Ave. in NYC. The food was delicious, the vibe was yooung and energetic and it is a great reminder of how Miami is becoming "THE" city to live, work and play in!"

The appointment did not go as
smooth as I thought. We did arrive late due to the bridge being opened and traffic in the area. After we arrived, we were sat down after 15 minutes in a nearly empty restaurant. We had an ocean and city view from the table which was amazing. Our appetizers were real small as was our entrees. The food was delicious and prepared with perfection. The service was not so perfect. Our waters and drinks were left empty several times and we had to reach out to our server for refills. Empty plates were on the table and we had to remind waiters to please clear our table. I did appreciate the custom made menu for our birthday guest which had "Happy Birthday" written on. Valet service was a nightmare though."

We went for the tasting menu and
wine pairings as advertised. Only to be told, they no longer have a tasting menu. I could chose whatever I wanted. Hmm isn't that just the regular menu? Why yes it was-- It was very disappointing. But worse we sat near the patio and watched several shirtless flip-flop wearing overweight men drink too much."

There were 3 of us for a birthday
for Mariella. The menu was printed with her name of it which was great. The waiter said she could have it as a keepsake and to pick it up at the front desk when we left. On the way out the hostess said the menu had gotten wet and they threw it away. Our meal cost $400.00 and this little error in goodwill left a sour note as we walked out."

It was our 13 year anniversary and
I made our reservations thru open table and the service from Area 31 could not have been more perfect! We were give a phenomenal table by on the balcony over looking the Brickel area of Miami on the Fourth of July. What an incredible way to celebrate ours and our Country's anniversary! We were greeted very warmly by the front desk and when we were sat, Area 31 served us 2 glasses of champagne and wished us a Happy Anniversary! Absolutely phenomenal. Did I mention that we are a gay male couple? How accepted they made us feel!!"

This was supposed to be a 1000
point restaurant. I have only been credited with 100 points and would like to have this corrected ASAP. It is clear from the OpenTable website that this is a 1000 point venue on the date and at the time for the reservation. There seems to be a serious glitch in the system so be sure to watch your confirmations to make sure you are receiving the correct point credits."

Perhaps it was the "happy hour"
thing going on at the bar, but without a doubt this was way too noisy for a nice dining experience. If I am going to a place to pay $20-65 for dinner, I would think one would actually be able to enjoy dinner and not have to shout across the table to have a conversation. Happy hour usually ends a bit earlier everywhere else I have been - we sat for dinner at 9pm and it was obnoxiously loud. On the plus side, the service was fantastic."

It was our first time coming to

The food was good, one seafood
dish and one steak. The seafood was fresh and the steak was perfectly medium-rare and tender. The service was spectacular. David was well versed on the dishes, the preparation, and was very knowledgeable about the local area. He was very personable and made us feel like special guests. The views were amazing and got to watch the skies behind the buildings turn orange as it transitioned to night. The night view was wonderful. It was my wife's birthday and once seated, we were warmly met with two glasses of champagne. We were then presented with the drink menu, as well as a menu with a personalized birthday greeting for my wife. The trio of desserts was fantastic. Highly recommended overall."

My wife and I dined here to
celebrate the first night of our honeymoon. The staff went out of their way to make us feel special. We were giving a great table with an amazing city view and they had glasses of champagne prepared for our arrival. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations. The drinks are creative and fantastic. We enjoyed oysters and the swordfish was amazing. We've returned several times since dinner just to enjoy the cocktails and the view and have gotten great service every time."

The food was okay. I would
definitely get the risotto and dessert. The crunch for dessert is the best! The dessert portions are actually pretty generous so two pieces would probably be enough. The appetizers were nothing special."
