The third in a series...please refresh my memory, as the Comeback one is the only other I can think of right now.
Here is a preview of the McFarlane "seventies" figure of Elvis Presley, the third in a series. This one is titled "Elvis, Live in Vegas 1970" and re-creates one of his famous concert appearances in the City of Lights.
This Elvis figure is dressed in a white fringed jumpsuit and includes a marquee base and microphone. The figure is set to hit retail in mid-October.

No problem here it is.Originally Posted by Lonniebealestreet
Fantastic, thanks! I don't believe I had seen that before.
...you won't forget me when I go.
The seventies figure is receiving a lot of negative publicity. Many people say that the face doesn't resemble Elvis at all. Personally I quite like the little statue of Elvis in the fringe suit
What are your opinions about it?
net ol'.

Sorry,i only like the 68 one.The 50"s one looks like any joe,but the man.
just a view.
SAM...it"s been a privilege to be called your best mate.17.03.55 - 24.01.08
Of course the 68-figure is awesome, but I think it is to harsh to say that this one sucks - believe me I have seen much worse figures (h)
Gotta agree wholeheartedly there, for both shown figures. Maybe they're figures of Elvis impersonators?Originally Posted by WildStyle
OK OK I seem to be a very small minority here
Won't mention the figure again!
Keep mentioning things like this ...There are always people who do care...I have the 68 version very good in real life Even the smallest details of the suit guitar chair etc even a guitar pick.....And for only 13 dollar....
There will be a bigger version of the 68 Elvis soon... Also heard them mentioning a aloha Elvis ....we'll see
Thankz Paulie1971
OK then Elvos! Thanks. I will keep making a stand in defense of the 70-ies figure
13 dollars? That is an excellent price. Where did you get yours, I go to Memphis in September, would these be available there?
A friend of mine works at an entertainment store He brought one for me ...they sell it for only 12 euro
I think the store is called hollywood factory...In Roterdam....
You're joking! That is an amazing price!
Do you believe that it will still be available over there?
yeah, maybe you're right, elvis' face is not perfect, but i think the suit is well done...my opinion, is that the suit is very detailed (nice work)
i would have to ask if their still available....,And about the resemblance , Elvis 's face is almost impossible to recreate...I never even seen a real good looking wax figure at any museum.....while other artist wax figures look like the real thing...
He's not just one in a million change million into zillion
That must be it .... it's a helluva job recreating his face ....
If you wouldn't mind asking if they still have it, I'd be much obliged!
He should be fairly easy to sculpt because Elvis resembles many classic statues of the old Greeks through to Michelangelo's David so it's not like it isn't possible......

Having a career in nursing is extremely rewarding but not without its challenges. One of the biggest challenges is deciding which path to take in the ever-expanding role of nursing. Some nurses are fortunate to find their niche right away but for others, it takes a while to find the position that best suits them. Becoming a nurse manager is a goal many nurses include as part of their career development process.
Transitioning from clinician to nurse manager, into a role where we are contributing through others instead of independently, can be quite daunting.
Today's nurse manager has one of the most difficult jobs in health care, and it's imperative to have access to all of the tools required to become successful. Managers need to know how to manage budgets, deliver presentations, and should have sharp communication coupled with negotiating skills.
The days of the starched, polished whites, opaque stockings and stiff hats are long gone from the nurse leader figure. Business suits, advanced degrees, laptops and spreadsheets are the stuff modern nurse managers are made of.
Turning to my own team, I asked what they valued the most in nursing leadership.
Cathie, RN, expressed nurse managers are made from something even more palatable:
"The characteristics of an exceptional manager resemble that of mayonnaise in a tuna, chicken or egg salad sandwich. Too little mayonnaise leaves the substance unable to hold together. Just the right amount of mayonnaise gets little overall recognition, applause or notice; the focus is on the overall product or outcome. Good, clear and frequent communication, creation of a supportive environment for team growth and accessibility are often statements made about clear strong management. The exceptional manager knows well their own strengths, skills and short-comings, and knows the talents, skills and background of their staff."
I would have to agree with Cathie. An exceptional manager is seasoned with just the right amounts of strength, determination, flexibility and managerial courage. These characteristics combined are the key ingredients of great leadership.

They had to take this case, the lower courts ruled it is unconstitutional, if it was left alone the lower courts ruling would be the law. Now the Supreme court will stall and then rule that the law follows the constitution.

Few of us have faith in the Supreme´s Court ability to rule based on the Constitution. Wehave seen this movie before and it did not end well. This group makes law, it does not rule on the law.

I fault only John Roberts for the mess we are in. The 3 conservative justices and the somewhat reliable Anthony Kennedy did NOT pass legislation from the bench. Only Roberts did that. IMO he should be impeached but Petulant Obama would put in someone worse.The worst fix you can be in is when doing the right thing will make the situation worse. I would like to do the right thing but in this case cannot bring myself to do so. I wonder how God views such a pickle?

I was looking forward to giving Design Your Own Fragrance - Fresh Scent as a present for Christmas, but was disappointed to find that the bottle lids were not as secure as they should be for a product that is sent through the post. The contents of the box were jumbled and one of them had leaked, causing the coating on the lid to dissolve. It smelt very nice though! I would recommend anyone checks inside the box to be sure the contents have arrived safely, as it's not apparent from the outside.
Slightly disappointing
The Design Your Own Fragrance Gift Set is a unique idea and the fragrances smell nice, however, the packing looks a lot cheaper than what it cost. Mine arrived scuffed and the contents inside were all mixed up and two of the fragrance bottle heads were scratched. The product quality is fine, but I would expect it to be presented better. I am sure my sister will love the present though.
Great gift
I was looking for a different yet special gift for my best friend's birthday and I was so glad when I found this. The Design Your Own Fragrance is such a great idea. I was impressed when it came, it looks really good quality and is packaged nicely. My friend loved it when I gave it to her, I would recommend.
Smells awesome!
I've got to say I was impressed! I bought the Design Your Own Fragrance for my wife as a gift and thought it would be something nice. It turns out she loved it! She had a great time finding out the best scent she could do. After reading the (easy enough) instructions it was all about experimenting with the scents, a little concentration on proper distinction of the scents and finally she ended up making what probably was one of the best perfumes she ever had! I will probably buy another and I recommend it.

4500 West Tropicana Avenue, Las Vegas, NV | Directions 8910336.102244 -115.200972
Mon. - Sun. 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: Paradise
Great room and a nice hotel. They have a bowling alley and movie theater within the hotel premises as well! A good hotel for kids to stay at. Although it is off the strip, it is easier to get around the strip through the back road.
Great hotel BUT.. – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at goo.gl/FPxYD They have some of the best hotel deals on the web!
My Favorite Local Casino! – My boyfriend and I enjoy Orleans casino because they just have some of the best slots that you can actually win on.
I recommend these slots:
Wheel of Fortune
Miss Kitty
Monopoly (any of them but my favorite is the Casino one)
Double Stampede
We gamble their so much they've comped our rooms for a year. That could be because I am a degenerate gambler? jk
I always forget my toothbrush and toothpaste and they provide it for fre when you call housekeeping! yay! colgate toothpaste if you're wondering.
The food court is open 24 hours and includes Sbarros, Baskin Robbins, Subway, Fuddruckers and their Courtyard Cafe is great! They have a mini mart int he casino which opens till 2am Mon-Thurs and 24 hours on the weekend from what I remember.
I love having player cards at every casino because if I lose a lot they usually comp my boyfriend and I's dinner or room for our next stay and free slot play! I take complete advantage of that. Orleans has the best program other than MGM Mirage.
If you're not a local and on a tight budget. I recommend staying here. Its right by the strip, a little ways down between New York New York and Excalibur. Rooms are anywhere between $25-$30 sun-thurs $55-100 fri-sat.
amazing casino/hotel – the suites are very nice. a good place for kids and adults. the food is awesome. both buffets are great. i recommend staying here when in vegas.
Orleans – Not a luxury hotel, but who needs luxury when you don't spend that much time in bed in Vegas anyways. The important thing is they have a nice pool, great service, and a bowling alley which is tons of fun!! Great place to stay that's cheap but still has all the amenities.
Most underrated hotel in Vegas IMO – I love the Orleans, thats right you heard me! I know a lot of people don't like it, I've even heard it called a dive but I really don't think they've acutally stayed there when they say that. Rooms are very big for the price complete with a little sitting area and two nice big (or one huge) bed! The returants are the best value at all most any hotel you can think of. The italian place may be one of my favorites in the country (you have to try the twice baked lasanga!!! One of my top 10 atf meals I've ever had!!!), Great Sushi place (maybe best Philly I've ever had!!!), a good cajun place, a mexican place and if your losing your shirt in the casinos it has a 16 screen movie house and even a bowling alley...needless to say it would be great for families, but ironicly I didn't see many the three times I've stayes there. My favorite strip hotel is the Luxor, my favorite downtown/old vegas hotel is the Golden Nugget and The Orleans is by far my favorite value hotel in Vegas...you seriously cannot beat it!
This off-Strip neighborhood casino is a big hit with Vegas residents. – In Short
The theme here is Mardi Gras, Louisiana style, but the atmosphere is not rowdy. That's just fine by locals, who are the Orleans' primary market and enjoy the conveniences the casino offers. Gaming is up-to-the-minute, with all the favorite card games and latest slots available, as well as table games, keno and an excellent poker room. Live entertainment at the small Orleans showroom has been consistently top-notch. In the warmer months, the casino hosts parties by the pool.
Grossly Underrated – The Orleans is easily one of the best values in Vegas. The price is right and the hotel itself is a great place. The location is just off the strip, but there is a shuttle service that takes guests to the strip every 30 minutes or so. The restaurants in the Orleans are priced right and the food and service is great. The Orleans offers $2 gaming tables so most anyone can afford to wager a little here.
An amazing value – This is one of our favorite hotels/casinos in Las Vegas. Rooms are large, 450 sq feet, well maintained, and bargain priced. The bathrooms are not overly large, but still quite nice. The pool area is good size and nice though sunworshipers should be advised that the sun is blocked by the buildings in mid-afternoon. Food options here are extensive with our favorites being the French Market Buffet, Big Al's (oyster bar), Prime Rib Loft and Don Miguel's. Less satisfactory is Sazio, a low priced, low quality Italian restaurant that along with Brendan's Irish Pub is rumored to be closing early next year to make room for an upscale nightclub. Other amenities include bowling, movies, a large arena, showroom and lounge. The usual assortment of gambling options are available including some full pay video poker.
kinda' dumpy – The best thing about this place is that they have a bowling alley if you're craving that activity on your vacation. Otherwise it's one of those places you walk into and then walk back out. It looks old on the outside and the inside to me is outdated and grungy. I wouldn't recommend staying here unless you get free rooms.

Portland >Food & Dining > On Deck Sports Bar & Grill
910 NW 14th Ave, Portland, OR | Directions 9720945.529649 -122.685210
Fri/Sat 11 AM - 12 AM
Sun 11 AM - 10 PM
Neighborhoods: Neighbors West - Northwest, Pearl
Sure, I put in my time at this quintessential sports bar of sports bars when I lived in the Pearl and was 20-something and still owned tube tops and could drink my weight in inexpensive domestic lager and function relatively unimpaired at work the next day. Lots of big tvs, spunky servers, and some formidable plates of nachos, plus an expansive deck that's great for tanning your bare shoulders on sunny afternoons (because you're wearing a tube top, duh).
Best Sports Bar in Portland! – No contest, this is the best sports bar in Portland. The new TV's are amazing, the staff is friendly but not pushy (none of that "Hi I'm so and so, want a order of onion rings?) and the food is great. I had the Viking Burger and it was big, juicy and tasty. My friend had the pork loin sandwich and it was just like the one on Man vs. Food! The deck is a great place to hang out - I want to have my birthday party here!
Food is absolutely Disgusting – Service is good. Place and atmosphere, especially the deck in summer, are fine, but the food is repulsive. I would not serve what they "cook" to my worst enemy. Come to think of it this is exactly what I would serve to my worst enemy.
Come on On Deck, your beef is worse than McDonalds. Shame on you!
Thanks for praising our service, place and atmosphere. On the beef issue, however, I beg to differ. We get our meat from Sysco, and our burger patties come from Interstate Meat Dist., located in Clackamas. Both companies are premium food companies who pride themselves on providing the highest quality meats. I don't know where McDonalds gets their meat, but I sincerely doubt it's better than ours! Your "worst enemy" will become your best friend if you serve him one of our Big O Burgers!
Great Spot!! – We've been to On Deck many times and will keep going back!! Great location, awesome selection of beers on tap, and attentive, friendly day bartender. Really good place to have a beer and watch the games, or even perfect for a business lunch. Best outdoor deck in town, and great happy hour menu I've seen in a while!!
Awesome Sports Bar – I've been to On Deck quite a few times over the last few weeks for the Ducks' games.. It's an awesome atmosphere!! Ducks are ALWAYS on the big screen, and everyone is always really into the game. It gets really packed, so they have a tent outside for overflow. It's really nice in there as well, and when it gets cold they have a space heater to keep the tent warm. Their food is awesome, and even though they don't have it during Duck games, they have a great happy hour. Bud Light is always on special for game days, and if you're not a huge fan of the domestics they have an awesome variety of local beers on tap. It's definitely a place I'd recommend. They have a TON of TVs, and they'll put on pretty much anything you ask for. I'm going to continue heading there to see the Ducks take it all!!
Great Sports Bar!! – Saw the stairs and the sign and decided to go on up and check it out. Was well worth my time! The staff was friendly and I really liked the atmosphere. Awesome selection of beers on tap and great happy hour food. Will be recommending this bar to my friends!
The deck is great, too. Awesome place to enjoy a few beers with your dog.
Great Place to hang out!!!! – This is a great place to watch sports!! I went there on a whim to watch a blazers game last week and I had a great time. Lots of fans there watching and cheering for the blazers. The food was good and the happy hour specials are a great deal. I again went to the bar to watch football on sat. and the atmosphere was even better! What a fun place to go and enjoy a drink and watch a game. I suggest it to anyone who likes a fun sports bar feel with food that is better than most!
Great Drinks, Great Food, Great Deck – On Deck is a nice place to sit and enjoy a few drinks. I really enjoy their On Deck Mary which uses their House-Infused Habanero Vodka! Perfect to beat my hangover on the weekend and get ready for football. Lots of Ducks and Beaver fans here but other teams (and sports) are well represented. But make sure you get in early as the place fills up fast. Don't worry if you haven't had a chance for breakfast as they serve Brunch until 2pm.
Their happy hour is hard to beat, $3 well drinks and discounted prices on all their drafts as well as a nice line-up of food options. I usually go for the Chicken Nachos and the Pork Sliders.
The service is friendly and accommodating, making sure that you enjoy the most of your time (or day) there.
What a game!! – I had a great time at On Deck sports bar last weekend. A group of 10 of us visited to watch the Ducks play and it was the best place Ive been to watch a game. Our food was great and our waiter was especially helpful and friendly. They had tons of fans there which made a great atmospere and we got loud. The huge patio was sweet too I want to go back with my dog and I will deffently be back for the next game.
BEST SPORTS BAR IN PORTLAND! – on deck is my fave!! i've gone here a couple times for business meetings, and just chillin with my pals. i love comin here for blazer games (and duck games ;)! ) and the staff is always SUPER sweet and accomidating...
...and if you're looking for a great happy hour - this is your spot! awesome food, great drink prices!
One of a kind – This place is fantastic! The balcony has an amazing view, ton's of room to roam, big screens all around, and a good looking staff. Great single's spot to come and meet some new faces as well. Lots of men ladies. Affordable happy hour and great selection. I will definitely be coming back.

Senior Megan Douglass (Wilton, Conn./St. Luke's) kept the momentum rolling with a two-set victory (6-0, 6-4) over Michael at No. 6 singles before Palmucci dropped Valls 6-2, 6-2 at No. 2 singles to give JMU the win.

"My overall experience with I didn't really mind, given the distance they had to travel. They contacted me again a couple days before delivery to confirm and to give me an idea for when they expected to be around. They arrived within the time window we had set, and it took them only a half hour or so to get the firewood stacked in my garage.
I really only have two qualms with
I wouldn't say that I WON'T recommend

"Recommended the mulch to order, and delivered it within a day. Best prices in town, product as advertised.
"Could not be happier with the quality of work. The guys were very professional and did a great job on the clean up. I will be using them in the future. A+
"Mr. well as wood we've had for 4 years in the garage, but is definitely seasoned. Since the other firewood vendor we contacted wanted $20 for delivery and another $25 for stacking, I was very pleased with the value for money. A small amount of wood chips and dust were left on our driveway where he unloaded his truck, but we hadn't shoveled the snow off our driveway, so it would have been impossible to sweep up. I don't know if he would have swept away the debris otherwise. I didn't even notice the wood chips and dust until the snow melted. He's a likeable friendly small town kind of man. We had some trouble with our check to him bouncing, but he was very nice about it.
"I had entire tree down the following week because it was dangerous. It has already done a significant amount of damage to my husband's car and took down a live power line. Unfortunately after they left another large branch broke off the tree and was precariously balanced between a smaller branch and lines that went from the street to my neighbors' house. I was very afraid that it would fall and hurt someone or cause more damage. I called and left them a message over the weekend and first thing Monday morning explaining the urgency of the situation. They promised to be there on Monday or Tuesday. When they didn't show up Monday, I called on Tuesday morning to confirm that they would be there that day, which was now especially important because another severe storm was expected for Wednesday night. I was again promised that they would be there that day. However, again they did not show up and I did not receive a call. So I called AGAIN and was promised that they would be there on Wednesday to at least take down the broken branch before the storm. I (now not confident in their word) called late Wednesday morning for a status report. I was told that there had been an emergency at a school (which I completely understand the importance of addressing) and that they would definitely be there Wednesday afternoon. Well, I returned from work on Wednesday evening with the tree AND the dangerous branch still up. I never received a call about any the service wasn't performed despite what was promised. I called and left a message that evening and told them not to bother. I understand that tree services are very busy after storms and that they have to triage the work that needs to be done. The infuriating part of this situation isn't necessarily that the work wasn't done (although that doesn't help) but that even though I was repeatedly promised that the work would be done, it wasn't and I didn't receive a single call to follow up or explain why. I had to discover it when I came home from work. It was a dangerous situation with an imminent storm. In addition, I knew I wasn't going to be able to address the situation with another service provider until the next week because I was having major surgery on Thursday. I siill haven't been able to address the situation. I don't know really how they are at taking down trees because they never bothered to show up, but I know I would never hire a service provider with such poor customer service, unreliability and lack of a sense of urgency."

"I found an ad on inside my shed. when stacking it, I noticed that there were several rotted pieces. it also had a strange musty almost urine like odor. and half the pieces were all cut at abnormally short lengths which made stacking more challenging. It was about a week or so later that I started to burn it. I noticed immediately that it was not burning properly. It took forever to catch and the temp never got hot. It did not make a hollow noise when I banged 2 pieces together and it appeared to have been recently cut or split. I tried repeatedly to work something out with both men.
"Was very prompt and professional. Showed up right as promised and stacked firewood nicely. However, the wood was very green, impossible to get to burn, even when added to an existing roaring fire. It was advertised as seasoned hardwood. The wood also smelled weird, almost like cedar. We are keeping the wood covered in hopes that we'll be able to use it when it dries out.

The finest restaurant in New York thanks those who suffered through the reservation process with an elaborate price fixe menu concentrating on farm-to-table ingredients that pay tribute to the Empire State.
Whether you swoon for its 4 star food, or find it, as I do, somewhat over manicured, there is no question that this is one of the great restaurants in America. The room itself has a grandeur that is unmatched and the level of service is unparalelled. So is the price, so maybe come here on an expense account or with a wealthy uncle.
2012 Michelin New York Upgrades Eleven Madison Park to Chefs – Winning 1 Michelin Star in 2002 wasn't enough for Swiss chef Daniel Humm so he ventured out west. He reigned at the helm of Campton Place where he won the Food and Wine Chef of the Year. With his mind set on higher aspirations, he struck a deal of a lifetime with Danny Meyer and moved to Eleven Madison Park with his full staff in tow.
Chef Humms' culinary influences are definitely European and reflect the sensibilities of market driven cuisine with preparations cooked gently under low temperature. His classic flavor combinations truly put him in a league with the best chefs on the international scene.
The beautiful dining space, excellent wine list and connections to one of the best cheese mongers from the west coast makes this restaurant is a destination unto itself.
The editorsblog at ----> bit.ly/TWC_NY_DINING gives a quick but savvy overview.
Meh. – The gimmicks at Eleven Madison Park don't compensate for what, in my opinion, was fairly average tasting food. Even an ingredient which could have been phenomenal (lobster, langoustine...), oddly just wasn't. There were some bites that were "interesting" (beet marshmallow, celery granita, lots of cliché truffles and foie gras thrown around), but, again, not delicious- which is what I'd look for in a meal of that calibre. What's more, if the gimmicks don't strike you as silly, the check probably will.
any place that serves foie gras so not cool--food was eh – A client brought me here a few months ago, I'm sure they thought I'd be terribly impressed, which I wasn't. You see, I'm an animal lover and this place, for starters, serves foie gras. Yes I eat fish, and all animals that go to the slaughterhouse suffer one way or another, but what they do to the birds to make foie gras is terribly brutal and cruel. In Chicago, I believe, they have outlawed it. So I wasn't impressed and I will never eat here again. Oh and to all the "fancy" people who order the stuff, and keep a demand to continue this barbaric practice.--Shame on you.
BTW, the food was also mediocre at best.
Good & bad – Went here for the wife's 40th birthday. Having recently seen the NYtimes give this place 4 stars we were looking forward to big things.
Service - impeccable. There's an army of staff here to keep on top of things but they don't rush you.
Ambiance - Awesome space with huge windows. Very tastefully done without being overbearing.
Food - Two people tried the summer tasting menu and I went with the tower of pork. Summer tasting menu was a dissapointment as almost every dish came with a foam of some description. Some folks may like that but we prefer the food 'as is'. The tower of pork on the other hand was superb with head cheese and pork belly particularly good.
Wine - great list with some that are reasonably priced. Staff were attentive to our requirements and very good recomendations.
overall I'd recomend but in some ways the tasting menu was 'wd-50' light with the molecular style, and to be honest foams have had their day. To have it on every course was overkill.
Upscale Foodie Haven – The food is delicious w/ well considered texture combinations.
My husband and I have had three 'date nights' here, delighted each time. We've found that the food is a highlight of the night, but the service and ambiance of the place also just lets us relax and we end up with great conversation.
Stellar in every respect, this is one of the most positive restaurant experiences one can have in NYC. This restaurant undoubtedly has one of the most professional staffs I have experienced, at par with 3 star Michelin establishments in Paris, NYC rival Daniel, and Cyrus in Sonoma. The service, exquisite food and retro ambiance make this a luxurious night out.
Average..... – The food was very good, bordering on excellent. But....the atmosphere does not warrant the price. Very good service, not great though. When having a special experience like this over a couple/few hours and paying those prices I really don't want to hear all my neighbor's conversations. The menu is unique both in ingredients and in ordering style. Formal; check. Good food; check. Overpriced based upon service/atmosphere; check.
One of New York City's finest – I went here for my birthday dinner the other night and it exceeded my high expectations. The service was impeccable and the food was innovative and delicious. I got the three course prix fixe menu, which was just the right amount of food. I started off with the lobster and calamari gnocci and had the chicken as my entree. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was so moist it could be cut without a knife. I couldn't decide on one dessert, so I got two, both of which were extraordinary. The wait staff was extremely friendly and catered to our every needs. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a very special meal in one of New York's most most beatiful dining rooms.
Not fine dining – The room is beautiful, the wine list is excellent, unusual and relatively affordable, the bartender made a killer Bloody Mary (almost worth the $14 price tag), but I finished my meal utterly bewildered as to what type of restaurant Eleven Madison Park intends to be and why anyone judges it as successful in whatever it is doing. With truly haute haute cuisine prices, one expects superior service and exquisite food. Instead, the service was both confused and inept, if somewhat friendly. Our first course arrived before we had been given bread, condiments or, oddly, silverware -- all of which we had to ask for. The 25 minute wait between appetizer and main course was ridiculous. No one came over to move the table when an inside diner wanted to get up, no one folded the napkins of those absent from the table, no one asked if we wanted more bread and no one offered to refill our coffee. At $98 prix fixe, the service should be impeccable, not something that would be inadequate at a diner. Thought the food would compensate, but it was no more than ok. The amuse bouche of a dry, salty gougere came across like a Cheez Doodle compared with the delectable ones at Per Se. Soup and appetizer were good, not great. The entree I had, combining beef tenderloin and beef cheek was better, with the tenderloin perfectly cooked and the cheek meltingly soft, if a tad cloying. Vegetable accompaniments were no more than little smears on the plate. My chocolate desert was nothing special, extremely difficult to cut and featured only a dab (how I longed for as much as a smear) of the salted caramel cited on the menu. There have to be far better ways to drop $300 on a meal for two. Might have rated this average had the charge been, say $40/person or below, but the disconnect between expectation and reality drops my review from average to below average.
Incredible service, good food. Great date spot or special occassion group dining – The service is truly outstanding. There were two of us dining, and perhaps 10-15 different people attended to us over the course of our dinner. Our servers took good care of us, yet were never too obtrusive. The food is very good and definitely worth the splurge as this is not a cheap place. The little extra touches are what make the experience that much more enjoyable. To start, they provide a delicious assortment of complimentary mini appetizers, bread and pastry puffs. After dessert, they present a complimentary selection of pastries. All were delicious. Extensive wine list and very knowledgable, friendly sommelier. All in all, a wonderful dining experience to celebrate an anniversary, or just for an elegant night out. There are intimate romantic tables available in the back room and along the side banquets. Be sure to request a quieter table if that is your preference, as the center of the restaurant caters to larger groups and could be a little loud if you are seated there.

At first, because of their impact on certain cold water species, especially Maine's very much revered landlocked Atlantic salmon, there was a lot of hatred for these big fish. But when the reality set in that northern pike were in Maine to stay, some of the more flexible anglers set out to diminish the pike population and have been having a great time doing it while the population is doing anything but diminishing.
Pike spawn in the late winter/early spring. Their spawning takes place in shallow, often weedy coves and slow running river pools. So this is an ideal time of year to really concentrate on these fish.
In mid-state Maine, Sabattus Lake and the big lakes in the Belgrade region provide plenty of opportunity to catch not only big pike but also some incredibly large white perch, fish big enough to take the four- to five-inch shiner you're using for pike bait.
Big live bait seems to be the best way to guarantee success with pike, but a lot of anglers are now finding that smaller baits or chunks of dead bait fished right on bottom will get you plenty of pike action. And it doesn't seem to make a big difference what kind of dead bait is being used, that is a legal bait. Some pike fishermen have found that whole or chunk dead saltwater mackerel fished right on bottom can provide all the pike action you'd want. It's not legal to use a gamefish and several other freshwater fish for bait, but an occasional pike stomach-content will reveal trout and salmon are being eaten by pike. In one instance a six-pound brown trout was eaten whole by a pike.
Lakes are not the only place that will produce pike.
Some of Maine's largest rivers that are connected with lakes that hold pike are also good bets to fish. But you need to think safety first and not get out on the ice of rivers with fast flows. You need to fish the backwater coves with little or no current. Maine's Androscoggin River is loaded with northerns, as is the Connecticut River where it forms a boundary between New Hampshire and Vermont. Although New Hampshire owns the water right to the Vermont side of the river, regulations allow both Vermont and New Hampshire licensed anglers to fish these waters. One of the top pike lakes in the Connecticut River is the Moore Dam Reservoir near Littleton. Beware that fast stretches below dams on this river are not advisable to ice fish and are very dangerous.
Very few pike/ice anglers use any other gear besides tip-ups. The reason being is that most of the ice fishing is done in shallow water where jigging with a rod and lure just isn't effective. A well-made tip-up is almost universally used. By well-made we also include tip-ups that have been maintained in good shape. A lot of pike anglers have switched to using the newer, super braid types of line connected to a stout, two to four feet length of tough mono or fluoro line. We'd recommend no lighter than 20 pound test for the leader if fluoro and 30 pound test for mono, as the mono is more easily cut by the pikes very sharp teeth. Wire leaders will not get cut but will cut your success as pike are not the smartest fish but are smart enough to avoid wire leaders.
A short shank number 1/0 hook is a good place to start with hook selection. We don't like the use of coated or stainless steel when fishing freshwater as they will never rust out of a released fish's mouth. And cutting the leader and leaving the hook in the fish's mouth is probably the most effective and humane way of releasing an ice-caught fish of any species. It can be done without dragging the fish out of the hole for it to beat itself up on the ice.
Do not sell pike short for good eating. It's not that hard to learn an easy fillet method.

Research Archives
Charles E. Jones
As has been the case in many of the other units of the Oriental Institute, much of the energy and attention of the Research Archives and its staff has been focused this year on the building, expansion, and renovation project. This is particularly true as the year draws to a close. As I write this report in late July, I can look across the roof of the Palestinian gallery towards the "working end" of the climate control equipment in the new wing and watch the workers installing the last of the louvered facing surrounding the maze of ductwork and air-handling machinery overlooking the courtyard of the Institute. Once that work is done, they will complete the setting of the red tile roof, and the external appearance (at least) of the new wing from the Research Archives will be complete.
The interior of the library component of the new wing is essentially finished, all that remains is the installation of windows, the connection between the old fire escape stairway and the vestibule of the new wing, and a doorway at the back of the Reading Room. A host of other tasks will continue to occupy the energies of the builders, and the monumental job of moving the collections (yet again) into their new home awaits our colleagues in the Museum. For may of us on the staff of the Oriental Institute this seems to be the calm before the storm, or perhaps more appropriately, the calm in the eye of the hurricane.
The real labor of the renovation project for the staff of the Research Archives will occur in October. We expect to take delivery of our new book stack units by then, at which time we plan to close the library to the public and begin the move and reconfiguration. Our planned reconfiguration will restore all of the original seating for eighty in the Reading room, and will assemble several currently dispersed components of the collections into much more useful and productive features of the research environment. Details on the reconfiguration, however, will wait for future reports.
It has been five years now since engineers working on early phases of the design of the new building informed us that the Reading Room of the Research Archives (which then held the bulk of the collection on tall book stacks) was very severely overloaded. As a direct consequence of this impending disaster, the University approved the addition of second and third floors on the new wing early enough in the design stage that they could be integrated into the project reasonably simply. From that time the Research Archives joined the Museum as a formal part of the Legacy Campaign. Its most conspicuous role (aside from hosting an early fundraising function in the Reading Room) was as a naming opportunity for donors wishing to support the funding of the Legacy Campaign. We have been extraordinarily fortunate this year to have secured generous pledges from the Elizabeth Morse and the Elizabeth Morse Genius Charitable Trusts. The gift supports the "bricks and mortar" of the new wing and climate control, and the Reading Room of the Research Archives will be named for the Trusts. But the generosity of these donors has not stopped there. They have pledged additional funds as a Challenge Grant towards the cost of replacing the lighting and electrical systems in the Research Archives, installing computer and electrical conduits to each of the tables in the Reading Room, and replacing its floor.
These are extraordinary gifts that support the building of the new wing, the installation of climate control in the new wing and in the Research Archives (and thereby the preservation and longevity of the collections, not to mention the comfort of the scholars who use it), the restoration to its original state (see photograph) of what James Henry Breasted called "the most beautiful room in the building," and the fundamental integration of infrastructure that has already become essential for the conduct of modern scholarship. We salute the trustees of these Trusts for their commitment to both the past and the future.
On-Line Catalog and the Retrospective Cataloging Project
At the present time the on-line catalog of the holdings of the Research Archives includes nearly 76,000 records. During the past year we have added nearly 5,000 records to the database, most of these being main entries for materials recently acquired. In addition we have spent a great deal of time editing, culling, cleaning, and improving the existing records in the database to make searches more effective and useful. The on-line catalog continues to be the primary point of entry into the collections of the Research Archives.
We have made solid progress on the retrospective cataloging project. Already loaded into the on-line catalog are analytical records for each essay, article, and review in the following periodicals:
Journal of the American Research Center in Egypt - 806 records
Studien zur Altägyptischen Kultur - 402 records
Total number of analytical records entered in 1996/97 - 1,208 records
Essentially complete, and in the final stages of editing preparatory to loading into the on-line catalog, are analytical records for each essay, article and review in the following periodicals:
Cahiers de la Délégation Archéologique Française en Iran - 26 records
Chronique d'Égypte - 1,400 records
Enchoria: Zeitschrift für Demotistik und Koptologie - 449 records
Mitteilungen des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts, Abteilung Kairo - 728 records
Revue d'Égyptologie - 957 records
Sumer - 935 records
Oxford Encyclopedia of Near Eastern Archaeology - 1,121 records
Analytical records from recently acquired materials - 17,421 records
The total number of analytical records prepared for entry in 1996/97 is 23,037.
Publications on the World-Wide Web
The Research Archives published seven items during the year.
- Abzu: Guide to Resources for the Study of the Ancient Near East Available on the Internet, by Charles E. Jones. Oriental Institute Research Archives Bibliographical and Informational Documents, Supplements to Oriental Institute Research Archives Acquisitions List, vol. 3. Chicago: The Oriental Institute Research Archives, 1994-1997.
This evolving publication continues to grow and to command respect. During the past year, links to more than twelve hundred documents relating to the ancient Near East have been added to the Abzu indexes, including a new subject index for Maps and Atlases:
- Dissertation Proposals in Ancient Near Eastern Studies Approved by the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, the University of Chicago:
- Egyptian Women in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt: The Economic and Legal Activities of Women in Demotic Texts, by Alexandra A. O'Brien
- Political Change and Cultural Continuity in Eshnunna from the Ur III to the Old Babylonian Period, by Clemens Reichel
- Death in Ancient Egypt, by Alexandra A. O'Brien
- Egypt and the Ancient Near East: Web Resources for Young People and Teachers, by Alexandra A. O'Brien
- Demotic Texts published on the World-Wide Web, by Alexandra A. O'Brien
- Disjecta Membra in Araneo - Scattered Remains on the Web, by Alexandra A. O'Brien
- The Directory of North American Egyptologists, edited by Charles E. Jones and Richard Wilkinson
The directory is available exclusively on-line and is the central place for Egyptological addresses. We have also recently begun to include institutional addresses in the directory.
Current Acquisitions
Following are the acquisitions statistics for the past year
|April 1996-March 1997
|Monographs and Series
|Total Books
Those readers who follow the progress and growth of the Research Archives as reflected in the statistics presented here in the Annual Reports will note that there has now been an upturn in the volume of material acquired. We continue to examine and analyze the material we acquire and ensure that we are serving the research needs of the faculty, staff, and students who use the collection and develop and build on our very considerable collections. The increase in volume of material acquired reflects a trend towards normalization of ordering following the retrenchment over the past couple of years necessitated by drastic budget cuts. I trust this trend will continue in the future.
I am particularly fortunate to have retained the services of two employees from previous years as my assistants: Alexandra O'Brien, Ph.D. candidate in Egyptology, and Justine Way, graduate student in Egyptian and Near Eastern Archaeology. In addition, I now have the services of a third graduate student (Egyptology) assistant, Hratch Papazian. All three of these staff members play an extremely important role in the day to day functioning of the Research Archives, and each of them individually has assumed responsibility for projects of fundamental importance for the development of the collections, catalog, and electronic resources. I only hope that I am as good a supervisor as each of them is an employee.
The Research Archives has many friends and supporters. Many of you remain anonymous to me, many others are familiar faces. Robert Biggs is, as always, one of the staunchest supporters of the Research Archives. He gives freely of books, time, information, advice, and help. Many others have given gifts of books. Among them are the children and grandchildren of T. George Allen, Martha Roth, Hans G. Güterbock, Robert and Linda Braidwood, Georgie Maynard, William Sumner, and the Library of the Art Institute. Generous financial support of the Research Archives has been made this year by many friends, notably Ellis O. Jones, Erica Reiner, Juliet Roberts, and Nellie R. Stickle. To all of them, and to all of the rest of you who support us in many ways, I offer my thanks.

3rd Corp. Henry Augustus Napier and Pvt. John Nevil Seale were honored by several family, friends, SCV members and UDC members. The flags waved so beautifully in the breeze.
The readings by family members, great-great granddaughters Hope Tumlin of Atlanta and Penny La Taste of Rome, Georgia, was followed by the UDC's memorial program. Bidding farewell was the weeping widow who knelt and said her farewell goodbyes as the bagpiper played Amazing Grace in the distant background. More than 100 years later, these men who gave their all for our country were given a proper goodbye.
3rd Corp. Napier enlisted in Co. H, 1st Regiment, Florida Infantry as a Private at Gainsville, Florida on March 24, 1861 by Capt. J. A. McDonnell for 12 months. He was 21-years-old. On Jan. 24, 1862 he re-enlisted in the same company which later became known as Co. K, 1st Regiment, Florida Infantry. He was shot in the right foot. Later he was shot again in the left shoulder. He was promoted to corporal. 3rd Corp. Napier was discharged May 25, 1865 at the surrender of Johnson.
Pvt. John Nevil Seale enlisted in the War Between the States for three years in the fall of 1861 at St. Clair County, Alabama by A. McShelley. This company became Co. H, 30th Regiment, Alabama Infantry. He was a prisoner of war at Vicksburg, Mississippi. He was paroled July 8, 1863 at Vicksburg and re-enlisted.
Helen Johnson, President of the Gen. William H. Forney 468 was assisted by Chaplin Linda Howard and recorder of Military Service Joyce M. La Taste.
Other family members were Jimmy Tumlin of Atlanta, great-great grandson-in-law of 3D Corp. Napier and Charles La Taste of Oxford, great grandson of Pvt. Seale.
