Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=11626&th=2351#msg_11626 <![CDATA[Hey everyone, I was just thinking about pricing on Shapeways, and I decided to make a poll.

 The reason I thought of this is because I have some rings on my shapeways shop with a markup of about $1-$2. I was checking out other rings that are simpler (but still very cool) that cost $20+ dollars. So, should I be charging that much for my rings? I have sold a few, but I know that I personally would have a hard time paying for them at the $20 mark because they are so small. Or should people be charging less for their rings so that they can sell more of them.

 This is just one example of things ive seen, mostly because its the easiest to realize the markup on a small model.

 Let me know what you think, and be sure to leave comments below. I think this could be beneficial to all Shapeways members because we will all know how we should price our models.

 Some other things that I think would be interesting to know:

 1.) How many items do you order from other modelers?
 2.) What would you consider you "budget" for other models?
 3.) Why to you choose to buy someone elses model? (Useful, Cool, too hard to make yourself..etc)
 4.) How did you find the models that you purchased? (cruising the gallery, homepage exposure, shops, outside website, etc)

 I dont want people to post info they would deem as "private" and I dont want people to think that I am trying to get private information. I am just really interested to see what people (in general) are willing to spend so we can grab some basic demographics and price our models accordingly.

 Thanks everyone!
 (feel free to add more Polls to this thread, i can think of 10 more that I want to post. haha)]]> rawkstar320 2010-04-10T14:49:34-00:00 Re: Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=11630&th=2351#msg_11630 <![CDATA[Please choose the closest one, to see what kind of ball-park we're in

 As to your question :
 Kinda depends on the ring I guess, who's to say the markup on $20 rings is that much more ?
 A stainless steel ring at 2cc is not that far fetched I think ?

 I personally have a very limited budget, so little room to order from other shops, but I do occasionally treat myself to such gifts
 My most recent order from another shop was a little over $25.

 Ordered, because I just really liked the model.

 According to the paypal-emails we get, some people are apparently way up there in sales, hence I added the ludicrous multi-zero options

 Last month was reasonably good to me, but I do seem to suffer from an incredible drop in sales this month; I only sold one model
 I could think of a million reasons why, but wondering how do others fair in the current months compared to previous ? Do others have a steady stream of sales, or is it also erratic?

 ]]> virtox 2010-04-10T20:58:45-00:00 Re: Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=11655&th=2351#msg_11655 <![CDATA[Small numbers, but surprisingly steady, averaging one sale per week.

 The pricing sensitivity is very clear. The model that gives me the most personal satisfaction, and that I'm most proud of, is also $149; I've sold one. The model I made because people kept asking for a less expensive model (although it did turn out really well after a couple revisions) sells for $23, and I've sold seven. No surprises about the ratio, I'm sure.

 Since I never really set out to sell anything -- I'm only doing it because Shapeways is kind of set up to encourage selling -- anything more than zero sales makes me happy. No marketing costs, no administrative costs; how bad could that be?]]> dadrummond 2010-04-10T22:28:00-00:00 Re: Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=11658&th=2351#msg_11658 <![CDATA[awesome!

 I was thinking down the lines of making sure models werent overpriced, because we want as many people to be able to get what they want. And we dont want stuff underpriced, because there is no point in getting less than you deserve(well...that statement was a tad loose..but work with me..)

 And finally...

 the more people that are able to buy stuff, the more money Shapeways makes, the more money we make, the more materials that are offered, the cheaper materials are offered, the more happy people that are in the world.  right?

 Ive always tried to keep my models under the $25 mark so that they were most affordable, but I was curious to see if i should be charging more. As of now, my highest markup is $6.]]> rawkstar320 2010-04-11T04:02:54-00:00 Re: Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12431&th=2351#msg_12431 <![CDATA[]]> rawkstar320 2010-05-03T20:04:43-00:00 Re: Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12825&th=2351#msg_12825 <![CDATA[good poll, its helpful that some members are open to this discussion. I'm slowly getting some items in my shop that i think are cool, but I'm struggling to even get any ratings. it'll come i slowly i guess.]]> jeff 2010-05-14T00:21:43-00:00 Re: Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12830&th=2351#msg_12830 <![CDATA[Thanks,

 Im not really getting the participation that I hoped for though. Which is why I was hoping that at some point, shapeways would put out a survey and maybe release some of that info to shop owners.

 I only recently started getting ratings....and its only because i have been pushing my custom iPod Case so hard on Facebook and Twitter. (Feel free to become a fan or follow either of those.  )

 Still, not very many sales. I only recently broke the $30 in markups, so I am hoping to get a payment next month. I think as i get more followers, convince more people that Shapeways is legit, that I can sell more (oh, and i need more stuff too. )

 Anyways, thanks for participating!]]> rawkstar320 2010-05-14T03:46:43-00:00 Re: Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12839&th=2351#msg_12839 <![CDATA[These surveys are great. We could release more info (not everything though because some info we could not or would not want to).

 What answers would you guys be most interested in?]]> joris 2010-05-14T05:30:23-00:00 Re: Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12873&th=2351#msg_12873 <![CDATA[On my markup overview, I'd like to see a customer identity. I know you guys can't disclose the actual name, so here's an alternative:
 Take the username, append a password and take the first five tokens of the MD5 hash of that. That way, you'd have a non-reversible user identification string. This would allow shop owners to track returning customers without disclosing their identity.
 Country would also be nice. Just for kicks. I'm very proud I have customers in Russia, Australia, the States, Norway, Hungary, Germany... That's just from my private sales, but I'd like to know about my shop sales as well.

 Other than that, I would like to get some basic statistics about my shop. How many visitors and hits do I have, where are my customers referred from? Which products are most popular?
 And on the order overview, seeing the referring website attached to the sales would also be nice.]]> TomZ 2010-05-14T20:58:54-00:00 Re: Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12906&th=2351#msg_12906 <![CDATA[To Joris: I think it would be interesting for all shop owners to know the average price of the items that have been sold only, on Shapeways.
 This would help us to understand if we have a price tag too high or too low (in average).
 And also the average markup for items that have been sold.
 Once again, it would be help full to understand if we aim the wrong direction.

 I did this calcultion recently for my shop and, the average price of the items I sold is $10 (excluding taxes) and my average markup (excluding taxes) is 20%.
 I was quite surprise of the nearly "round" result for the average price, because I always try to have nearly round prices but with the prices including taxes

 We could also do a poll on those topics although even for our own shops, getting this figures is not easy since we do not have a column with the item price in the Excel file...

 ]]> Magic 2010-05-17T05:53:49-00:00 Re: Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12911&th=2351#msg_12911 <![CDATA[That would be interesting but not tell you the whole story.

 Some items tend to sell well because they showcase a material well and both low cost and high cost items do well depending on how they are positioned.

 For example: a person might pay a $30 mark up for an art piece but not for a character. So I don't know if thats the right thing to be tracking.

 We could also do: number of first time buyers? Or focus on conversion ratios: what percentage of the people that visited your page bought?]]> joris 2010-05-17T09:50:17-00:00 Re: Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12920&th=2351#msg_12920 <![CDATA[Joris: That is a good point about the high priced art items.

 It really makes sense to me, that a more artsy item would sell for more.

 Info wise:
 - it would be nice to see the number of visitors to our shop
 - Where they were refereed from (web link)
 - some info regarding WHO purchased WHAT (even if it was a tag or something..so we can see return buyers)
 - What about (instead of an overal average markup), a price breakdown that went by Category, and price range.

 So, for example...

 Models in the "Puzzles" Category between $0-$100 showed a markup of $XX - $YY and make up TT% of this category.

 Maybe that is more info than Shapeways is willing to give..but i figured i would include everything so you can trim out what you want.

 On that note, if something of that nature was done - what about a monthly sales report site wide? It wouldnt reflect total dollars of course, or maybe it couldnt have any dollars. But it could show if Puzzles sold more last month than Characters.

 Thanks for helping out Joris!

For example if there is a pick at $10 but also at $200, perhaps I will dare doing an object at $200, because I know there can be a purchaser

 Rawkstar320 for the details by categories, I am afraid we will have the problem of the model belonging to more than one category than would prevent us from any comparison (if you have a Rubik's cube with the shape of Omer Simpson it will be a Characer and a Puzzle thus you cannot really say if Puzzles sold more than Characters if some items are counted twice)...]]> Magic 2010-05-17T18:45:14-00:00 Re: Pricing Analysis http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12966&th=2351#msg_12966 <![CDATA[I thought about that, of course, if there was a rule saying that a model could only belong to say, 3 categories...maybe that would cut down that margin or error?

 I suppose my thinking was that there are so many different models out there selling, it would be helpful to know if a $10 Puzzle sells more times than a $5 character.]]> rawkstar320 2010-05-18T14:21:58-00:00

Seminole, FL (AP) - Deputies have arrested a 16-year-old boy who authorities say asked another student to help him with a Columbine-like massacre at his high school.
The teen was charged Wednesday with solicitation to commit murder.
Pinellas County deputies say the teen was studying a book on the
Columbine massacre and was in the process of gathering maps of
Seminole High school and a list of firearms. Investigators also said they found other evidence of the plot, with the teen describing in detail how he would carry it out and who he would target: people with a history of being cruel or neglectful to animals.
The sophomore student was involuntarily committed to a mental health facility last Friday and was later taken to a juvenile facility.

MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — A Medford, Ore., man accused of beating his toddler stepson has now been charged with attempted murder.
The Medford Mail Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/JaDhdX) that a grand jury recently added that count to charges facing 27-year-old Matthew Karl Hyrup.
The man pleaded not guilty last month to three charges including first-degree assault and first-degree sodomy.
Prosecutor Terry Smith-Norton says the attempted murder count and a second sodomy charge were added as the case continued to unfold.
Police allege the 19-month-old boy was severely beaten and sexually assaulted by Hyrup on Feb. 23. Officers say the child had been in Hyrup's care while the child's mother left for a couple of hours.

Most Helpful
I made this recipe as written but I found it needed more flavour. After checking the reviews, I decided to go with a few of the adjustments that MarthaStewartWanabe included in her review. I added some beef bouillon, a small clove of garlic and some portabello mushrooms. I have never heard of the Pillsbury flour before, so I seasoned my flour with season salt and garlic powder and used about 1 Tbsp of this flour mixture to thicken the gravy. I would probably make this again with these adjustments. Thx SeasonedCook.
This dish is comfort food through and through. The description is correct--"A Man's Dish"--as DH thoroughly enjoyed! The only adjustments I made were substituting beef broth for the water, adding 1 cup quartered mushrooms and adding 2 cloves minced garlic. Thank you for a delicious and satisfying dinner! (Made for Recipe Swap #29 - June 2009)
The gravy this makes is just wonderful! I used some 'Bistro' roast meat gravy mix in place of the flour as I can't get the flour listed. I too added a dash of cream like Marsha D. This one is a keeper :) Made for Aus/NZ swap #28, June 2009.

Looking for inspiration on innovation and entrepreneurship? Here's the source!
Aug 26th
One of the most enjoyable parts of my job is spending time with people looking to follow their dream and start new businesses. And time after time, I refer to what I learned in one single book: Innovation and Entrepreneurship by Peter Drucker.
Peter Drucker may be the most revered business leader and author in history. He has written some of the most inspirational and influential books in the field and while Innovation and Entrepreneurship is not his best-known book, it is a resource I have re-read many times in my career.
The book is also special to me because I took classes from Dr. Drucker when I was in graduate school in Los Angeles. At the peak of his intellectual powers even in his 80s, he would sit on the front edge of his desk every Saturday morning and lecture for three hours on his books, including this one. Over three years, I learned a lifetime of lessons from him that I use each day.
If you are passionate about innovation and entrepreneurship, here are three major lessons you can take away from this seminal book:
The mechanics of the entrepreneurial economy
Although this book was written in 1985, Dr. Drucker correctly predicted the rise of an entrepreneurial economy based on technological shifts and rapid innovation. While the world was still transitioning to a service economy, Drucker was already thinking ahead to an economy fueled by entrepreneurs.
An interesting insight is that technology doesn't just change a marketplace — it also changes attitudes, behaviors, and organizations. An idea provokes much greater ripples than just a new product.
He said that companies that are not in a constant state of renewal — and prepared to continuously jettison out-moded products — are vulnerable.
Drucker adds that starting a business isn't entrepreneurship if you are simply a "me too" copying something that already exists. He proposes many now famous ideas for discovering and occupying a niche.
Innovation is purposeful
Drucker explains that innovation isn't a function of a wild-haired scientist yelling "eureka!" in his basement. Innovation is iterative, and that some of the world's greatest products were simply better versions of something that existed before. He points out that the first versions usually fail and that the companies that iterate on those failures are most likely to succeed. Innovation is WORK!
He defines the seven source of entrepreneurial opportunity:
- The unexpected — An insight that occurs by an accidental discovery.
- Incongruity — When there is a gap between what you expect and what really is. Data can be a source of inspiration in this category.
- Filling a process need — Finding the "weak link" and finding a better way.
- Changes in industry structure — Epic changes like the Internet, globalization, and the collaborative economy are opportunities for innovation.
- Demographics — For example, shifts in age, education, and location are seeds for change.
- Changes in perception and mood — Lifestyles and attitudes toward products change over time. Today, wearing sneakers to a business meeting happens all the time. This never would have occurred in 1980. The sales of athletic wear grew simply because of a change in attitude.
- Scientific breakthroughs — Like air travel, new materials, faster computers.
A framework for innovation
Perhaps Dr. Drucker's greatest contribution through this iconic book is his idea on establishing a process for continuous innovation in every company. His approach makes so much sense that it has always amazed me why this formula hasn't been adopted by every company in the world.
Even large companies can innovate if they weave it into their culture. There needs to be a PLAN to innovate, not just an expectation. Large companies may even have an advantage when it comes to innovation because done well, they have the resources and expert experiences to bring an idea to life.
Drucker says that one of the most important functions in a company is to continuously and systematically look for change that can be leveraged in the firm. He also preaches simplicity in all of his books — keep your approach uncomplicated. Don't be afraid to start small and iterate.
Don't splinter into so many ideas that you can't keep up. Focus. Ideas that take a business completely out of its core business rarely succeed.
He once famously said a company is marketing and innovation — everything else is overhead. Without customers, and without a continuous stream of ideas to keep a company ahead in the race, you will fail. Through this little book. Peter Drucker left a lasting gift to the world to do just that.

How to know when it's time to call it quits
Aug 24th
The entrepreneurial spirit was strong in me, even at an early age. I always had some gig going. I sold Christmas cards door-to-door. I raked leaves and cut grass. I watched kids and dogs. I did anything I could to make a buck.
But my first entrepreneurial venture was also my shortest one and it occurred when I was five years old. That's right. I started my first business before I entered the first grade!
My family home at that time was at the intersection of two busy streets. When people stopped at this corner from any direction, they would throw their cigarette butts out the window. I noticed that most of these butts still had a lot of tobacco in them. So my idea was to unwrap the used cigarettes, recover the unused tobacco and sell it.
Now, in hindsight, that is a pretty gross business. But for a five-year-old kid, this was a vision of money falling from heaven.
Of course when my mother found out what I was doing she made me stop right away (and take a bath). My first start-up literally went down the drain at that moment.
Which brings me to today's topic. If you have an idea you love, and you're driving a new business as hard as you can, how do you know when it's time to finally call it quits? Probably one of the hardest moments in your life, right?
My Marketing Companion co-host Tom Webster and I have both had to give up on start-up businesses and decided to devote some time to discuss … when is it time to call it quits?
- Is the biggest problem quitting early or quitting too late?
- A discussion of the number one reason for new business failures
- Following your heart versus your head – the chronic entrepreneurial failure
- The pervasive and mythological legend of entrepreneurship in America
- Why "intrapreneurial" efforts are so difficult
- The rise of the entrepreneurial unicorn

Why entrepreneurs will always beat intrapreneurs
Apr 20th
I was involved in a lively debate the other day about the relative effectiveness of entrepreneurs (creating new businesses independently) versus intrapreneurs (creating new businesses inside an organization). In my mind, there is no debate as to the most effective way to go.
Here's a little story to explain my thinking on this …
A man of vision
During my grad school days, I had the wonderful opportunity to get to know the CEO of Verifone, Hatim Tyabji. When you "zip" a credit card to make a payment … that's probably a Verifone reader.
Mr. Tyabji was one of the first serial entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley and became a personal hero of mine for his global vision, consistent track record of success, and enlightened leadership style. Years later he would become the CEO of BestBuy.
Under Hatim's leadership, Verifone dominated the credit card transaction market worldwide and continued to do so since the 1980s. It was one of the first true global companies, out-sourcing production and programming long before other larger companies. Their management team met for five days every six weeks at a new location in the world so they could cultivate a global mindset.
The need for speed
In the late 1980s Verifone was a red-hot company and an even hotter stock (they were eventually purchased in the mid-1990s which was a big stock market win for me thank you very much!).
While we take credit card transactions for granted today, in the 1980s this was still an emerging method of financial transaction. Verifone depended on constant innovation to keep up. The company was one of the first in the world to issue laptops to every employee and created some of the first systems for internal collaboration and ideation. But these new concepts were not being commercialized fast enough to meet the aggressive CEO's vision.
All the employee-driven innovations seemed to languish. Hatim explained to me at the time: "I learned that as long as employees had a steady paycheck and an office to go back to, the fire and urgency of a start-up was lacking. I wanted to encourage entrepreneurial behavior among my employees but saw that I needed to do something dramatically different."
The intrapreneur shake-up
"So I kicked them out," he said. "If an employee really believed in a new idea for a business or technology, they had to leave the company to make it a reality. Verifone became their financier. We provided funding and a workspace at an outside facility in Oakland. Our only provision was, if they were successful, we had the first right to buy the company. This is the only way we could instill a sense of urgency in employees. They had to leave the mother ship."
Several employees took the offer, providing the rapid development and commercialization the company needed to compete and succeed.
That was 20 years ago but the lesson has remained as relevant to me today. I see this as a chronic problem in many companies. They are looking for innovation internally when the real fire is outside the company where entrepreneurs need to succeed to eat.
There is certainly a role for systematized employee innovation within a company. In fact, Peter Drucker's book Innovation and Entrepreneurship (one of my favorite business books) provides an excellent roadmap for institutionalizing a culture of constant innovation within an organization.
But in terms of a race to market, I'll put my money on an entrepreneur versus an intrapreneur. What are your thoughts?

The power and perils of the pivot
Aug 13th
By Mars Dorian, {grow} Contributing Columnist
The last month has been a hovertrain ride of good/bad emotions. After seven months of emotional labor, I've published my first sci-fi novel and released the baby to the world. Sounds like a zero-brainer, given that I'm in love with writing and storytelling, but it turned out to be a big-brainer for one reason:
I run a semi-successful blog on creatives making a living online while showcasing my digital illustration work, geared towards clients in the social media / blogging crowd. It's been the focus of my last years, and it's continuing to pay for the bread and beer on my table. But as much as I like the work itself, I dislike the idea of waiting for clients to discover me — I often feel like a kiddo asking his parents for permission to do something:
"Can I haz some work, plz?"
About a year ago, I worked on the side to change my biz future.
I guess I'm going through what is known as pivoting — changing your business model because of client feedback and market demands. Long story super-short, I'm switching from a creative freelancer model to an indie author model, self-publishing books while facing all the challenges and facepalms that come with the transition.
With any change comes danger and opportunity, and I want to share mine.
I'm losing clients.
Positioning is essential to attract your right clients. If they don't know what you stand for, or why you have the credentials to help them, you're roadkill zapped by an invisibility ray.
I've experienced this first-hand. My past biz consisted of mostly digital illustration work and coaching (aspiring) clients to create their own, global creative career. But with the current switch to indie publishing, that clear positioning has been watered down. One coaching client told me she thought she landed on the wrong website because of the changed design and focus. I don't want to know how many clients I lost because they are confused about my offer.
I am alienating my blog readers.
In my last post for {grow}, I wrote about neglecting business blogging because of its diminishing value to me.
For four years, I've blogged twice per week, writing about blogging (cough) and sharing my experiences of being a full-time, freelancing creative. I received fan mail from around the globe thanking me for sharing my expertise and thus indirectly helping them out with their creative career.
It was good for the heart and bad for the wallet, so I mainly focused on expanding my illustration portfolio for the last two years. And with my new shift into indie publishing, the blogging confusion has reached a new level.
First I drop the blogging frequency from twice per week to only once per month (if at all) and now I even neglect the creative freelancer topics and babble about sci-fi stories and self-publishing.
What the hex ?
I'm stuck between two worlds.
I'm not making enough money as an indie author to justify the amount of time I spend on writing. And yet, I don't want my blog to look like a creative business blog when my new fiction readers want to inquire about me and scratch their heads wondering where the sci-fi author is.
Thus, I'm stuck in the twilight zone — my website is a mix between my older, creative career and an author-friendly site that showcases my storytelling and fiction. And with my passion for marketing, I know the watered-down mix is a dangerous place to be!
I'm still in the awkward stage of traversing the zone from "how to be a successful creative online" biz blogger to an illustrating, indie sci-fi author. I wish I had all the answers to making the leap, but I don't. If you want to share some tips on making the transition more successful, I'm thankful for your advice.

Mymymy. Last week's column kicked up a lot of dust, as I criticized what I see as the shrinking creativity of the New Orleans restaurant scene and many jumped to its defense. I stand by my opinion, but the fact I have one does not make me right. It's an opinion and it's good to see so many take issue. Thanks for reading and responding.
One reader made the observation I need to go out to eat more often and I certainly agree. But, as mentioned in a previous column, this is tough for us to afford these days. Perhaps the summer's advent of various fixed-price meals will make this a more available option. I hope so. Continue reading »
A defense witness called in the trial of former Tulane football player Trent Mackey said he pointed the finger at Mackey after police told him Mackey had already thrown him under the bus.
Mackey, 23, has been charged with armed robbery with a firearm and criminal conspiracy to armed robbery. The charges stem from a July 12, 2012, robbery that the defense says was poorly investigated and pegged on Mackey, while prosecutors have argued that Mackey orchestrated. Continue reading »
Allan Katz and Danae Columbus: Sen. Murray says Louisiana should hope for governor who can undo Jindal's damage
State Senator Ed Murray, D-New Orleans, has been in the Louisiana Legislature for 22 years and says he thinks that Governor Bobby Jindal's regime has been "a terrible disappointment, especially for the medically indigent and the state's public education system from kindergarten to the graduate departments of our universities."
Louisiana's best hope, he says, is that the 2015 Governor's race will produce a chief executive for the state who will undo the damage that the Jindal Administration has inflicted on public medical institutions and public education. Continue reading »
Former Tulane linebacker's armed-robbery trial centers on victim's account of drug deal that day
Police have since charged Mackey in the robbery as well, and prosecutors this week are describing him as a co-conspirator to the gunmen, an accomplice in touch with them minutes before who conveniently left Wales' apartment door open allowing the men to rush in. Mackey's defense lawyers, however, say the Tulane football star is the victim of an inadequate investigation focused solely on bagging a high-profile conviction, and that Wales was just as complicit in the events of the day and web of lies afterward as Mackey was.

An 18th century Chinese Qianlong celadon jade censer with a pre-sale estimate of $15,000-$25,000, items from the living estate of iconic New Orleans artist and photographer George Valentine Dureau (b. 1930), and an untitled glazed ceramic sculpture by Lynda Benglis (Am., b. 1941) are all part of a huge weekend auction planned for July 13-14.
The auction will be conducted by Crescent City Auction Gallery, in the firm's gallery located at 1330 St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans. Start times both days will be 10 a.m. (CST).

An expected 30-percent decrease in the size of this year's incoming freshmen class — blamed in part on rising private-school tuition amid a tough economy — could lead to budget cuts at Loyola University, according to a report from Meg Farris of our partners at WWL.
Once upon a time with my wife and two wee daughters we used to live in a li'l ol' shotgun in the Riverbend. We absolutely loved that house, but after the birth of our second child, 1200 sq ft was no longer so quaint or enjoyable. Too, where we were on the 800 block of Dublin often served as overflow parking for area retail, but worse, the density didn't always bring the best drivers. Some days people would whip around the corner off Maple like they were in hot pursuit. And when you have toddlers and newborns you begin to see traffic and safety in a whole new way. It was at this point I began to wonder about the pros and cons of living on a dead end street. Continue reading »

With five lights and a mid century modern vibe, this arc lamp is the perfect light for a seating area in need of brightening!
A mid-century modern design with plenty of style, the domed shades of this floor lamp have mid-century appeal. A circular marble base anchors the design. An on/off foot switch adds convenience.

Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
We are extremely happy with this lamp! It is exactly as described, and was very well described as to dimensions and features. It's an excellent lamp for reading. It's also very decorative, easy to assemble and sturdy.
Fits perfectly in the space I needed
The metal reflectors on these lights can be turned to focus the light on the ceiling --which is why I bought this particular lamp; also, the marble base is small and attractive, yet heavy enough to keep the lamp from falling over. Additionally, I was able to use LED light bulbs in this lamp which I consider to be a real plus!
Floor Lamp
I thought at first this would be a little funky-looking or awkward, because it is pretty dramatic. But it fits right in immediately, and it's large enough to bring a room together.
I am glad I purchased this floor lamp. It is very nice, elegant and captivates your attention. Modern design.
We bought this lamp for use in our living room. We were surprised at the quality of construction given the low price point.
i love this lamp.my living room is sooooooooooo beautiful.
good lighting and range. attractive contempory design
Great to add light and style to a room or corner area.
Recommend using a dimmer for added versatility, can then be used as either reading lamp or stylish source of mood lighting.
This lamp was exactly what I was looking for and the price was more than reasonable. I was happy to discover when I got it home that you could move the 5 individual lamps to face other directions (not just pointing downward), which increases the lighting effect.
This lamp goes perfect in my family room for reading, lights up a dark area and also looks very sassy. The only thing missing is wish the lights could operate one at a time or as needed.
I recently redesigned my living room and this lamp is the perfect fit. It is gorgeous!!!
We needed a floor lamp that provided light but didn't take up much space. It fits in a corner perfectly and flares high over one of our sofas.
Just what we wanted.
Love this lamp which looks great and is perfect for reading. Very easy to assemble. Has a nice on/off feature in the cord which makes for a more streamlined design (no switches on each bulb). That also creates a slight problem in that you need to have all 5 lights on--you can't limit it to one or two.
Our associates are standing by to assist you.

11 Most Endangered Historic Places
Wentworth-by-the-Sea Hotel
Year Listed: 1996
Location: Concord, New Hampshire
Threat: Deterioration, Neglect
Built in 1874, by Boston-area distiller, Daniel Chase, as Wentworth Hall, the eighty-two room hotel was located just outside of Portsmouth near the Maine border at the mouth of the Piscataqua River. Five years later, Hotel Wentworth, as it was now called, was acquired by Frank Jones, who transformed it into a 300-room local, regional, and national resort destination. For more than a century the Wentworth-by-the-Sea Hotel hosted everyone from vacationing movie stars to middle-class families to writers to members of the British Royal Family. The resort exemplified the leisurely vacation of Victorian America -- during the day guests enjoyed boating, swimming, tennis, or golf. At night time patrons dined at the hotel's restaurant and danced in the ballroom. In 1905, Russian and Japanese diplomats, brought together by President Theodore Roosevelt, stayed at the hotel while negotiating the Treaty of Portsmouth that ended the Russo-Japanese War. In 1981 however, the hotel was purchased by a Swiss company and closed the following year.

I am LONG on ASCA and know that I am not alone. This viewpoint is based on revenue (UP), visiting the casino (well run, professionalism), reading industry trade pubs, and reading market research (Euromonitor and Investext Reports).The downtrend is directly attributed to anticipated increased taxes, not fundamentals of the company. Do you actually think that a worst case scenario of an additional tax of 15% on 1 out of 7 casinos will make such a difference on profits? At worst case, that's 2% adjustment in profit, not the 25% decrease we've seen in stock price. Please do not buy into the nonsense we hear from those SHORTing this stock.-Matt
dialogman - you're wrong - you're probably the only one still long this stock. Do you really think that this stock has been plummeting because institutions that have loads of money to analyze stocks don't understand what is going on? You must be living in some other reality. This stock is down 50%, and NONE of the potential bad news lurking in the distance has even actually happened yet. It has been among the top 1 or 2 worst performing casino stocks FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS. Obviously, institutions know something REALLY UGLY is about to happen and are bailing out in droves. You are nuts if you really believe that there will only be a 2% "adjustment" in profits. If that were true, analysts would be falling all over themselves talking up this stock, and the idiot CEO would be making public statements about how undervalued the stock is. The silence is deafening. Also, if the stock price has been so unfairly treated, why aren't insiders scooping up boatloads of the stock at these low prices?
Do us all a favor, please short this stock. Given your investment record that may be the best thing that can happen to the longs.
--Dear Mr. Luckisallbad--I really hope I am not the only one Long on ASCA. That would actually be impossible, but I am amused at your humor.Do you actually believe that brokerage houses know anything worthwhile about the future of this company that would lead them to sell?Nonetheless.. I challenge you to:- name 2-3 institutions dropping ASCA- how much are they dropping (shares)- identify a report written by a brokerage house that does not support ASCAI appreciate your efforts.

MONTREAL (AP) -- Back in Canada, the Montreal Expos showed off
their first-place team to their fans.
Wil Cordero and Jose Vidro homered to back Tomo Ohka, and the
Expos beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-0 in their home opener
Tuesday night.
"I just want the fans to know that we appreciate them turning
out tonight and their support, and we hope they continue to do that
the rest of the year," Montreal manager Frank Robinson said. "It
was great to see them out there."
The Expos' first 10 "home games" were moved to San Juan,
Puerto Rico, by the commissioner's office to raise revenue, and
Montreal will return to the island in June and September for a pair
of six-game "homestands."
After the Expos won six games in the Caribbean, Montreal was
welcomed by a crowd of 36,879, the largest Olympic Stadium crowd
since 45,183 came to the 2001 home opener.
Banging the Thunder Stix they were given upon arriving at the
27-year-old domed stadium, Montreal fans welcomed back a franchise
that had been slated for elimination following the 2001 season
along with Minnesota. Since breaking training camp in Melbourne,
Fla., on March 29, the Expos have flown 5,888 miles.
"Even in Puerto Rico, they're still not our fans," Robinson
said. "They were behind us -- the majority of them were down there
-- and they rooted for us but they're not our fans. We're here in
our home ballpark with the home fans out there and that was a great
Montreal, owned by the other 29 teams, has been an early season
surprise with a 12-8 record that tops the NL East. The Expos, who
won their third straight Olympic Stadium opener, lead the major
leagues with four shutouts, one more than their total last year.
"All our starters are doing great," catcher Michael Barrett
said. "They're just showing a lot of consistency early on and
that's outstanding."
Ohka (2-2) allowed six hits in 6 2-3 innings, struck out four
and walked three. Joey Eischen, Dan Smith and Scott Stewart
combined for shutout, three-hit relief. Eischen relieved with the
bases loaded and two outs, and got Steve Finley to ground out.
"Our pitching staff is doing great," Cordero said. "That's
what is really keeping us where we're at right now."
Arizona rookie Andrew Good (0-1) made his first major league
start because Randy Johnson was put on the disabled list Monday
with a strained right knee. Good gave up four runs, five hits and
four walks in 4 2-3 innings, striking out five.
"I was really pleased with the way Andrew threw the ball,"
Diamondbacks manager Bob Brenly said. "Cordero hit a home run on a
changeup down low, the home run to Vidro was a hanging changeup,
probably the only bad pitch he made the whole game. The bases
loaded walk and the little chopper looks like he gave up four runs
in 4 2-3. I think he pitched better than that."
Cordero homered in the second inning and Vidro, who went
3-for-4, homered in the third.
"When you've got the lead, it makes it comfortable for you,"
Cordero said. "It brings the crowd right into the game so that was
Good forced in a run in the fifth when he walked Brad Wilkerson
with the bases loaded -- Good's third straight walk. Fernando Tatis
followed with a run-scoring infield single off reliever Oscar
"I didn't trust my stuff the way I did early in the game and it
ended up costing me," Good said. "I should have approached things
a little differently in the fifth, and if I could do it over again,
I definitely would."
Game notes
Last year's home opener drew 34,351. ... Good, recalled
from Triple-A Tucson on April 16, was 0-1 with a 5.84 ERA in two
starts in the minors this season. He went 13-6 with a 3.54 ERA with
Double-A El Paso last season. ... The Expos are 21-14 in Montreal
openers, including 16-11 at Olympic Stadium, where they have won
seven of their last nine openers. They were 49-32 at home last
