Which female do you think has the best face sculpt.
**NOTE: I left Shadow Weaver off due to not having a "face."**
EDIT: If a figure has more than one head, just comment in the section which one you prefer.

I almost went with Adora just because I love her...but then i remember Catra. Her sculpt is so awesome!
It is spelled "Crita", not "Critta". Misspell her name and Crita will knock the "T" out of you!
Also...get her into the line!
Teela, though they're all quite good. Teela is gorgeous!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Way to Go Club Etheria!
Netossa wins this battle, but I think Tallstar is a close 2nd.
Tallstar for sure. She is beautiful.
Frosta looks like she jumped out of a Filmation cartoon.
I think Catra has the best thus far
Had to go with Adora
My Trader Feedback: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...mighty-He-Dad!
Teela remains one of the most beatiful female faces sculpts I've seen on an action figure, and she remains the best in this line.
I think Evil Lyn and Adora are very close, but Teela has such a soft beatiful looking face; it's truly a work of art the 4H should be proud of.
Helmetless Battleground Evil-Lyn is the best looking to me. That's mainly due to the colors.
IMO Catra and Queen Marlena are the only others with near-perfect face sculpts. Marlena suffers from bad paint app though.
4H, stop with the female teeth-showing thing. Looks terrible.
Adora has the most soft, feminine face IMHO. Most of the other women have to angular faces. Whoever sculpted Frosta should stick to sculpting beasts and male characters. They make the females' faces too sunken, they have too many lines around their noses, mouths, etc. I guess most Warrior women are supposed to look mannish.
It's hard to separate the deco and hair sculpt from the face. Until recently, it was Tallstar but now that I have her in hand, TOD Sorceress is amazing and my new favorite.

I actually like Frosta's sculpt, but it's a tie for me between her, Teela & Sorceress, I like all 3 just as much, but if I had to pick, I'd pick Frosta, her sculpt as a whole despite colors....is my favorite female.
Adora & She-Ra look really nice too, Supposedly the same person, but Adora looks better to me than She-Ra.
Recent....Unnamed One & Hydron
Wanted....Entrapa, Double Trouble, Light Hope, Filmation Hordak & Clawful
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....

Netossa, the #2 spot going to BG Evil-Lyn. Don't get me wrong, I think all the female sculpts, so far, are lovely but Netossa is the first truly gorgeous sculpt I've seen in this line - can't wait to see her arrive!
this is a hard one to choose

TALLSTAR has been my favorite head sculpt among the ladies, but I voted for NETOSSA. She is a fierce beauty with distinctive features... almost like her face was modeled after a real person. A total LIONESS!!!
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
To say Netossa has the best female face sculpt is an insult to the figure. Netossa has the best face sculpt of the entire line!

Great Course!! I put the information to use with my rescues during the time I was learning. Excellent for pet owners. I have recommended it to several people and will continue to do so.
I enjoyed this class greatly and looked forward to each new lesson. I have already found some of the information useful in dealing with my own pets and in working with cats at the local shelter. I appreciate being able to print out the lessons so that I can refer back to them in the future.
I especially like that you had photographs along with the content. The video clips were very helpful as a learning aid. The course was well organized and written in a style that was easy to understand. The course content was excellent. It was a convenient, interesting, and fun course. The case histories and examples from your practice gave an insight into a vet's world. Thanks for a great experience.
This course offered much more information than I expected. This is a great course for pet owners, breeders and for anybody who is working with animals. All the questions on the discussion board were answered quickly and professionally. Thank you Dr. Jeff!
I enjoy the lessons so much and it gave me great insight into the practical
tasks in a veterinary clinic. With the concise explanation, pictures and
videos, it makes the learning process even easier. This course has really
encourage me to further my interest in veterinary science. Thanks Jeff!
The course definitely covered many topics. I liked how the instructor
explained everything very clearly. Sometimes textbook explanations are very
confusing. The pictures were great, to better explain certain topics. I
really gained a lot from this course. Dr. Grognet is a very good instructor.
I look forward to taking another course of his soon. I like his style of
This is the third class I have taken with Dr. Jeff and I have been extremely
pleased with all three. I plan to go on to be a vet tech and I feel they
have been a great asset in helping to prepare me for my career. He makes the
material interesting and the lessons enjoyable. I would definitely recommend
his classes to others.
Excellent course! The course material was very organized and contained so
much good information! Dr. Jeff also made it fun to learn with picture
matches, crossword puzzles, and short video clips. I took the course as a
pet owner (rather than a vet assistant employee) and found the information
invaluable. Dr. Jeff is an excellent instructor and I would definitely another one of his classes.
I strongly recommend this course to anyone seeking a career in this field! There is so much information that I have taken from this course that will help me better understand my position as an assistant!
This course has been a very helpful tool for gaining knowledge and learning important and valuable information. For the pet owner who wants to know more about their little or big four legged family member, or someone who is pursuing a career in the veterinary field, this course has it covered. I feel much more confident about being a knowledgeable and responsible pet owner. I'm also on my way to realizing my goal of one day working as an assistant. Thank you!

By KBB.com Editors - Updated Date: 9/17/2012
With a muscular body, powerful engine choices and a whole lot of attitude, the 2013 Dodge Challenger easily plays the role of modern-day muscle car. Like its main rivals, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, the Challenger has the aggressive looks and performance that made these cars famous decades ago, yet boasts today's technology and a modicum of creature comforts. The Challenger's V6 and V8 engines can't match the power and fuel economy of those in the Camaro and Mustang, but what little track performance the car loses it makes up for in daily driving. Unlike those competitors, the larger Challenger can seat up to five people and has a less claustrophobic – albeit still plastic-clad – interior.
If you're a Mopar man who's all about the attitude, the 2013 Challenger will pull you in like a tractor beam. And for those who need their modern-day muscle car to have a rear seat that accommodates three passengers, this is it.You May Not Like This Car If...
You won't be king of the hill with this car. Even with a 6.4-liter V8 engine packing 470 horsepower, the Challenger's power output is more than 100 less than a Camaro ZL1 and nearly 200 behind the Mustang Shelby GT500. And unlike those cars, the 2013 Challenger still isn't available as a convertible.
Available in a variety of trims including the newer Rallye Redline, the Challenger coupe carries over mostly unchanged for 2013. New exterior colors are available, and improvements have been made to the optional Garmin navigation system. SRT8 392 models have selectable suspension settings and standard launch control for maximizing acceleration.Driving It Driving Impressions
The 2013 Challenger is no paper tiger. Even a base SXT comes with a 305-horsepower V6 that gives this rear-wheel-drive coupe plenty of gusto. Those wanting serious oomph will gravitate toward R/T versions, which feature a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine and performance upgrades to the steering and suspension. At the top of the lineup is the Challenger SRT8, which features an even bigger, 6.4-liter V8 engine that's good for 470 ponies. V8 versions will also be the only choice for buyers wanting to shift manually, as they come with a 6-speed gearbox. V6 models are available only with a 5-speed automatic, also offered as an option on V8 models for drivers who just want to floor it and go. The Challenger is great in a straight line, but lighter, more agile cars can beat it in corners. In everyday driving, the Challenger is pleasant, with a firm but not jarring ride.
With 900 watts of audio blasting through 18 – yes, eighteen – speakers, this upgrade makes the Challenger sound better than many home-theater systems.
The 2013 Challenger won't win the power wars, but when it comes to passenger space in front and back, it has the Camaro and Mustang beat. Here, two adults can fit in back without feeling like they're in purgatory. Also a bonus: a bigger trunk than its rivals.
The Dodge Challenger's cabin is functional and has some cool styling features, but overall this coupe's interior doesn't live up to the promises made by its flashy, retro-esque exterior. Still a product of the previous-generation Dodge Charger sedan, the Challenger's interior has not received the update of its 4-door sibling. Thus the hard plastics, dull colors and relatively loud interior remain for 2013. The front bucket seats are wide and firm, and help cradle bodies with their side bolstering and adjustable lumbar support. In the rear, two adults can actually fit, and three people can squeeze in a pinch. At over 16 cubic feet, the Challenger's trunk is bigger than those of some large sedans.Exterior
Today's Challenger certainly echoes traits from the car of the same name that was born in the 1970s, but park a 2013 model next to one from 40 years ago and the differences become very clear. First is the size. Longer and taller than the first-gen car, the 2013 Challenger coupe is the length of a full-size sedan. From every side, the Challenger presents its challenge to other cars on the road, though its aggressiveness is a bit more reserved than the more angular Camaro. Four menacing headlights appear as angry eyes up front, and the sides are defined by massive haunches above the rear wheels. In back are multiple tailpipes and trunk-spanning taillights.
The 2013 Dodge Challenger returns with several trim choices, from the base SXT to the loaded SRT8 392. Even a base SXT model comes standard with keyless entry, 18-inch all-season performance tires, automatic climate control, remote start, and 6-speaker AM/FM/CD player with auxiliary input and Chrysler's Uconnect hands-free communication system. Stepping up to a base R/T model brings the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine, upgraded sound system with Boston speakers, fog lights and rear spoiler. With the SRT model, you'll get the biggest engine available and a 1-day "Track Experience" where you can learn how to better control your car's performance.Notable Optional Equipment
Numerous upgrades are available for the 2013 Challenger individually or as part of a package, depending on trim level. Among the highlights are high-intensity headlights, sunroof, 18-speaker harman/kardon sound system, track suspension, navigation system, 20-inch wheels, and various appearance packages to make your car appear even bolder.Under the Hood
The 2013 Dodge Challenger offers a choice of three gasoline engines. Even the base powerplant, Chrysler's modern 3.6-liter V6, makes 305 horsepower and delivers plenty of performance for any reasonable use on the highway or a twisty mountain road. The value leader is the 5.7-liter HEMI V8. For the real power mongers, there is the 6.4-liter SRT8 V8. The base engine earns an EPA fuel economy rating of 27 mpg on the highway, but those mpg's wane as the cubic inches rise. The V6 and 5.7-liter V8 can run on regular unleaded; premium-grade fuel is recommended for the 6.4-liter V8.
3.6-liter V6
305 horsepower @ 6,350 rpm
268 lb-ft of torque @ 4,800 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/27 mpg
5.7-liter HEMI V8
372 horsepower @ 5,200 rpm (automatic)
375 horsepower @ 5,150 rpm (manual)
400 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm (automatic)
410 lb-ft of torque @ 4,300 rpm (manual)
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 15/23 mpg (manual), 16/25 mpg (automatic)
6.4-liter HEMI V8
470 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
470 lb-ft of torque @ 4,200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 14/23 mpg
The 2013 Dodge Challenger SXT has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of just under $26,500. At that price, it's roughly $3,500 more than a base Ford Mustang and over $2,200 more than a base Chevrolet Camaro. At the top of the Challenger pack, an SRT8 392 version tops $45,000, a price that can also be reached with higher-end versions of the Mustang and Camaro. Before buying, be sure to check the Fair Purchase Price on kbb.com to see what others in your area are paying. As for resale, we expect the Challenger's residual value to hold up well, comparable to the Camaro and above the Ford Mustang.

Meeting at the elegant Four Seasons Resort Aviara north of San Diego, a group of insurance conference planners and Four Seasons representatives — including June Locke, national insurance sales manager, and Thomas Hubler, vice president sales, North America — spent two days in early September discussing industry issues and new Four Seasons developments. The group also had time to hit the links at the resort's Arnold Palmer — designed golf course or enjoy a treatment at the posh, newly renovated spa.
While the meeting took place prior to the events of September 11, all agreed there are challenging times ahead. Many planners in the group work on short lead times that can change on a dime, and have difficulties booking hotels far out. Mergers of insurance companies and corporate cutbacks have resulted in a lot of unknowns when trying to predict the future. Such uncertainty makes planner/supplier relationships more critical than ever.
Planners' challenges dealing with their corporate senior management is a theme that resounded throughout the discussions. For example, when senior management insists on booking a certain property, planners have no choice, even if they are charged rack rates. And if senior management wants to cancel a meeting, for whatever reason, planners are obliged to comply. The consensus was that planners actually like having cancellation clauses in contracts because that helps them to convince senior management of the economic consequences of canceling.
Contract discussions also revealed that most insurance planners in the group use their own contract, or their amended version of a hotel contract. It was suggested that contracts could become more user-friendly if there were short, two-to-three page contracts for small or short meetings and lengthier contracts for larger or longer meetings.
Not surprisingly, a lively conversation ensued when the topic of attrition was discussed. It was suggested that, six months prior to the meeting, planners let their hotel contacts know if they think their numbers might be off. It was also suggested that hotels consider the total value a given meeting brings to the property before levying attrition charges. If there is $5,000 in attrition charges for a group that has spend $50,000 on the golf course, for instance, the hotel might consider dropping the attrition charges. All agreed that the role of the national insurance sales manager is critical to iron out attrition disagreements.
Another issue brought up by planners was credit applications. They liked the idea of filling out a yearly credit application with the national sales office of any given chain and then not having to fill out credit applications for individual properties in the chain during that year.
Updating the group on Four Seasons developments around the world, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Vice President Sales, North America Tom Hubler said that group business is important to the brand, which annually sells about one million group room nights each year in its portfolio of 51 properties. He noted that hotels in locations with group demand will expand future capacity by adding meeting and guest room space.
Travel Partner: American Airlines
American Airlines representative Dennis Tucker was on hand as Four Season's air partner. Tucker reminded attendees that relationships are critical when negotiating with any supplier, including the airlines. American, he said, will reduce fees for good customers.
New Developments at Four Seasons
With its elegant design, attentive and friendly service, a 29,000-square-foot conference center, and a beautiful and challenging golf course, Four Seasons Resort Aviara in north San Diego is well-suited for incentive programs. The newly renovated 15,000-square-foot spa is a restorative retreat that is extremely popular with both women and men. There are 20 indoor and five outdoor treatment rooms, plus a couple's suite with a fireplace, private whirlpool, and lounge area.
Also new at Aviara: the addition of a second pool with an expansive patio area for outside functions (see photo at right), which has made the property even more attractive for groups.

'Pennhurst Asylum' attraction opens in former Pa. institutionSaturday, September 25th, 2010
From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Delaware County [Pa.] Daily Times, AP, with historic photos from Philly.com:
Pennsylvania's historic Pennhurst Center, once the focus of landmark litigation that sparked nationwide changes in treatment for people with intellectual disabilities, opened last night as a Halloween-themed haunted house attraction over the protests of disability rights advocates.
Advocates had unsuccessfully sought an injunction to prevent the opening of the "Pennhurst Asylum" show on the grounds of the property, once known as Eastern State Institution for the Feeble-Minded and Epileptic.
Even before the injunction was denied on Friday afternoon advocates called for a boycott of the attraction, which references historic abuse and neglect of the institution's patients and features a "registration nurse" who tells visitors what the asylum's "doctor" has planned for them. (See video here.)
The crumbling facility was closed in 1987 in the wake of a federal lawsuit alleging years of abuse and neglect. The suit, which spawned years of appeals and three U.S. Supreme Court rulings, alleged that residents had been beaten by nurses, strapped to beds, left naked or alone and drugged into stupors. At the time, the closure of the 600-acre facility was hailed as a civil rights victory.
Pennhurst property owner Richard Chakejian said said he and his crew are "just trying to pull off a fun, orderly event and we're excited about that."

I have no idea where the pick-ups come from. But for this price I guess does it really matter? They make strat noises and work fine in my Squier until I decide whether or not to invest in "real" pups.
Otherwise very good thing here. I was given an older Korean Strat where the switch and pots and wires were all shot, and this thing saved me a lot of work. I had to redrill one or two screw holes, but overall it was a breeze. Nice.
I recently bought a cheap chinese strat copy to practice on and kick around. About 2 months later, the electronics started to act up (no sound, shorting, etc) so I decided on a pre-wired to replace the junk. After a little dremel work, re-drilling and soldering the strat copy was ready to go. Plugged in and powered up and was amazed at the difference. The copy now sounds as close to the real thing even better than the MIM or MIJ models available now.
I recently purchased a wired pickguard from Stewmac and I must say I am well pleased with the product. I picked up an old Strat style guitar for just a few bucks and wanted to make it a project guitar. I got the parts I needed last week from Stewmac and put everything together and tuned her up. It sounded great. Saturday night I played that old guitar in the band and everyone commented on how wonderful the old guitar sounded with the new Stewmac wired pickguard. I would recommend their products to anyone, and their fast service is great !
Thanks stewmac...
Can't fault it at the price. Well put together, everything works just fine and it sounds suitably strat-ish.

The announcement yesterday that Oracle proposed OpenOffice.org as an Apache Incubator project was heavy on impact, but light on detail. To get a bit more information about the hand-off, I checked in with Apache Software Foundation (ASF) president Jim Jagielski.
The ASF is best known for project like the ubiquitous Apache HTTP server — but Apache is home to dozens of projects. Still, doesn't OpenOffice.org seem just a bit out of place here? Jagielski says no. "Although Apache is mostly known for server-side code (either complete servers, middle-ware, libraries, etc...) we do have some client-side and userland projects. Apache OFBiz is likely the best example." In fact, Jagielski says what is "typical" for Apache is "building (or even "re-building") communities around those codebases."
He says that makes Apache the perfect place to "help 'repair' the community" around OpenOffice.org. "I've already contacted the Document Foundation, which sponsors LibreOffice, with hopes that we can work together to benefit the existing community, as well as really grow the community at large: both developers and users."
Of course, the OO.org community isn't the only strained relationship here. The ASF has loudly complained about Oracle, and left the Java Community Process in November of last year. Isn't it a little awkward to have Oracle knocking on the ASF's door a few months later? Jagielski says that it shows Oracle "considers the ASF a true FOSS leader." He acknowledges that Oracle and the ASF "won't see eye-to-eye on everything," but "when there is agreement regarding Open Source, Oracle considers the ASF as the best example of open source communities."
Licensing also enters into it — Jagielski says that he thinks "having the OO.org codebase under the Apache License was also quite attractive." At least to Oracle and IBM. The LibreOffice fork is licensed under the Lesser GNU General Public License version 3 (LGPLv3) and Mozilla Public License (MPL), both of which are reciprocal — thus requiring distributors to provide the code for derivative versions. As Greg Stein points out on the Apache list, this may not be something IBM was interested in doing with its Lotus Symphony suite. (Whether IBM is right for wanting to work on a non-copyleft project is left as an exercise to the reader.)
Why does IBM's interest matter? Because Oracle isn't going to be putting forward the engineering resources. According to the proposal sent to Apache, Oracle says that the initial developers "will be employed by IBM, Linux distribution companies, and likely public sector agencies." It seems unlikely that Novell's LibreOffice contributors are going to be joining up immediately, so most of the paid development seems likely to come from IBM. Jagielski says that Oracle is expected to help with the incubation process but then "the current expectation is once the podling graduates, Oracle will gracefully bow out of the project."
There is some concern about this, though. Even with IBM likely to contribute, OpenOffice.org is a big codebase. Other projects handed off from corporate sponsors have floundered a bit in the Incubator, which leads to concern that OpenOffice.org could fail as well.
However, as IBM's Rob Weir notes, OpenOffice.org needs to demonstrate diversity to graduate from the Incubator. So too much IBM and/or Oracle influence won't help OO.org make it as a main project.
It's important to note that the OO.org project is not automatically accepted. Jagielski says that it will be voted on, likely after some back-and-forth over Oracle's initial proposal. "Assuming the vote passes, the donated OO.org code is imported into our repository and the podling starts the Incubation process: building code and building community. This also entails IP tracking, etc."
Jagielski says that he's aware "there has been a backlog of patches and enhancements to the OO.org codebase which have not been merged yet." If OO.org is accepted, he says the next step is to "boot-strap development, and community building, by encouraging that anyone who has such unmerged patches to join the podling."
It's been suggested that some code may have to be removed from OpenOffice.org due to licensing. Jagielski says that code owned by Oracle will be licensed/donated to the ASF, though some external dependencies may have incompatible licensing. He expects that will be handled during Incubation and suggests "that is one way where the Document Foundation and the ASF could work together; By having OO more modular, with the base code AL2.0 licensed, it increases it's usefulness (ala the Apache httpd web server)..."
Weir also encourages the idea of doing core OO.org development in Apache and then having additional work done by derivatives. Whether the LibreOffice folks go for that is another question.
It's also worth reading the Apache Office, anyone post by Shane Curcuru for more details on how to join the Apache Incubator project and how that dovetails with OpenOffice.org.
Will OO.org flourish under the Apache banner? I'd be curious to hear what you think.

Even before the disastrous 2010 earthquake, Haiti was known as a benighted place of poverty and corruption. But as author and historian Laurent Dubois demonstrates, Haiti's troubles owe more to a legacy of international punishment for the original sin of staging the only successful slave revolt in the world. Dubois vividly depicts the isolation and impoverishment that followed the 1804 rebellion: the crushing indemnities imposed by the former French rulers, which initiated a cycle of debt; the multiple interventions by the U.S. armed forces, including a 20-year occupation; and the internal divisions and political chaos that are the inevitable consequences of centuries of subversion. Dubois also explores Haiti's overlooked successes, as its revolution created a resilient culture insistent on autonomy and equality.

ESPN: Trevor Bauer a Diamondbacks trade candidate
The Arizona Diamondbacks figure to be active in trade talks this winter, with much of the discussion circling around right field Justin Upton.
However, Upton may not be the only high-profile D-back to be up for grabs.
According to former MLB GM and current ESPN MLB analyst Jim Bowden, in an ESPN Insider piece, pitcher Trevor Bauer may very well be available.
Reason: There are some uniformed personnel in Arizona who don't believe that Bauer will ever have the command and control in the zone to live up to his potential, while others are frustrated by his stubborn nature. If the D-backs have an opportunity to trade him for a long-term solution at shortstop or third base, they're sure to listen.
Possible trade partners: Indians, Rangers, Nationals
The team's frustration with Bauer is well-documented, though many think it's just a matter of time before he matures and becomes an effective Major League pitcher.
The 21-year-old started four games for the D-backs in 2012, compiling a 1-2 record to go along with a 6.06 ERA. He struggled mightily with his command, though was good enough in the minors to be named the team's Minor League Pitcher of the Year.

I wonder why the sign on the Boise public library has an exclamation point after the word "Library?" Can you shed any light on this?- Jeremy Clark via e-mail
"What's the story behind the Library! Emphasis on the ! "- Dancinbackwards via Twitter
In 1995, the Boise Public Library put up a pair of new signs on the outside of the main branch on Capitol Boulevard. The five foot tall white letters stood in stark contrast to the brick building -- and made a rather simple statement: LIBRARY.
Flying Pie owner Howard Olivier moved to Boise about ten years earlier and became a big fan of the library. When he saw the stark new sign -- he decided it needed something with a little more... pizzazz. And pizzazz -- or rather pizza... just happens to be his business.
Olivier owns Flying Pie Pizza, which has two local locations.
He went to the library with a proposal: Flying Pie would like to buy two exclamation points to match the rest of the sign.
After a little bit of convincing, Olivier placed an order with the sign company for the punctuation -- and had the marks installed.
Now, nearly 13 years later, the library has embraced the exclamation point for more than just signage. The brand now adorns just about everything the library puts out -- from pamphlets to its website to the new neighborhood libraries.
Flying Pie says the small $1500 investment has paid major dividends
"We haven't regretted it for a second," marketing director Lesley Juel said. "It's something that is a genuine sentiment: it's not just a normal library, it's a fantastic library."
Olivier said not everyone agreed with the excited sentiment at first.
"There was a long time where there (where) thoughts on both sides," he said. "Of any five people, one hates the signs. About six months after they went up, someone asked when they are coming down."
Some thought the signs didn't set a serious enough tone for the facility, but Joanne Hinkel with the library says the signage on the outside actually helps describe what happens on the inside.
"It really does capture the fact that a library is a vibrant exciting place that has a lot going on," she said. "There's a lot of interactive programs, computers and latest information."
Flying Pie's donation has not only helped boost the library's image -- but given the "whirled famous" pizzeria continued publicity
"Cab drivers tell the story about eight times a day when bringing people in," Olivier said. "It was a huge positioning piece for us."
Juel says the donation has become a part of local lore -- it's mentioned on the Boise Tour Train, and she even had a potential employee ask about it.
Olivier has a about the signs on FlyingPie.com -- and says his reputation has changed over the years.
"I joked that if the people who knew me growing up heard that I was adding punctuation to public signs, they might well assume that it was graffiti."

A lot of areas wouldn't allow clay pipe inside the house it had to be changed to cast iron when it entered. Without knowing EXACTLY what that pipe is for I wouldn't touch it, you could be removing part of your plumbing system.
Per my town building inspector in Northeast NJ, code no longer requires a 4 cast iron DWV pipe that rises up from my houses main Drain-Waste-Vent pipe just before it exits my house. Is there any reason to keep this pipe? I need to cut and cap it, or cut and replace it with re-routed PVC, so I can have an electrician replace my electrical service (the cast iron is about 2 from my fuze boxes). My approx. 100-year old 3-story (3-apartment) house has a vertical cast iron DWV pipe that penetrates my roof and which the 4 bathrooms tie into. This main DWV pipe leads into the horizontal one under my basement slab, which then runs about 40 where this extra vent pipe and then 2 clean-outs rise up from the horizontal DWV pipe just before it exits my house. This apparent extra vent pipe rises straight up approx. 5, then runs horizontally about 6 where it exits my house through an above ground penetration in the side of my foundation. I assume its 4 cast iron buried under my slab since everything else above the basement slab is cast iron, but I was told the pipe from my house to the city sewer is clay pipe. If current plumbing code does not require this extra vent pipe, is there still good reason to replace it with PVC instead of just capping it? I assume the original installers did it for a reason. Does it significantly help the flow of waste and help prevent my old clay pipe from getting clogged? Is it an emergency escape path for sewage if the sewer feed pipe does clog - letting the waste flow out of the side of your house instead of out of a first-floor bathroom? If so, the later-installed basement bathroom renders this benefit useless. Regarding vent pipes, my house also has a 2 inch vent pipe that exits the roof above 2 kitchen sinks. Any feedback/suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Craig
A lot of areas wouldn't allow clay pipe inside the house it had to be changed to cast iron when it entered. Without knowing EXACTLY what that pipe is for I wouldn't touch it, you could be removing part of your plumbing system.
I wouldn't even try to follow your description. You may not need a 4" pipe through the roof, but you still need SOMETHING, and normally, you have to have the equivalent area through the roof, meaning something like four 2" vents, or two 3" ones, etc. ANy combination which gives an area, NOT a diameter, equal to a 4" pipe.
thanks for the advice/input. Just to clarify, my house does have a vertical 4" cast iron DWV pipe that penetrates the roof and which services 4 bathrooms (stacked one on top of the other). It also has what looks like a 2" vertical DWV pipe coming up through the roof above 2 kitchen sinks. The "extra" pipe (4" cast iron) that vents out my foundation (above ground) rises up from the cast iron drain pipe under my basement floor just before this main drain pipe exits my house for the city sewer.
this "extra" pipe is somewhat common in my neighborhood. And my house is actually 1 of 5 houses in a row that were built at the same time with this "extra" pipe. 2 of the 5 have since had it removed - not sure if its caused problems, but I'll see if I can find any knowleadgable local plumbers who are familiar with this type of design.
Maybe this extra vent is for a house trap or something?

3619 Copper Ave NE, Albuquerque, NM | Directions 8710835.080268 -106.603685
Neighborhoods: Nob Hill, Southeast
Catfish, Too – It was good tonight. I've had the peel 'n eat many times, which I always like. Tonight, I ordered breaded catfish on pasta with green chile alfredo. In this case, "breaded" meant with corn meal. That's how to do catfish. At so many places the cook uses too much salt. I was happy to discover the salt on the catfish was light. That way I could add to taste or just enjoy it as presented, and not hear my doctor's voice fussing in my head. Service was not rushed. If you go there once in a while, you know to plan for a liesurely experience. My lovely companion and I passed the time with pleasant conversation. We'll go again, I'm sure.
a dash of the south in the desert, without the hospitality – Ragin' Shrimp is settled in a cozy little building just a block off Central in Nob Hill. In addition to the quaint inside dining room it also has a number of tables on their enclosed, vine covered patio which is very nice during the summer. Unfortunately this place is very much a Hit'nMiss affair. When the food is good, its very good. Other times, its pretty average. There is a rather high turnover in staff here, (both waitstaff and cooks) so you never know what you're gonna get. It always seems like our waitress/waiter is working their first shift and has no idea what they are doing. Patience is definitely required.
As far as the food goes, I usually get the Shrimp and Linguine with one of their delicious sauces, and Green Chile Alfredo is probably my favorite, though you cant go wrong with any of them. However, sometimes they serve you an ample amount to cover all your pasta, while other times there is only a couple spoonfulls. This is a regular source of my frustration with this place. With my salad I get the Spicy Cajun Ranch dressing, and it is excellent! This is, of course, assuming that they actually remember to bring the salad, which they don't always do.
My wife gets the Blackened Catfish and that is another extremely inconsistent item. Sometimes its perfect, while other times it tastes like rubber, and then sometimes it's barely cooked at all. The place isnt cheap, and it wouldn't bother me to pay these prices if I knew it was going to be a pleasant dining experience every time. But you may as well flip a coin to see how thats gonna work out... If you're willing to take a chance you might have a very nice meal, just don't expect the same thing on your next visit...
NOT a good value... – I ordered some take out tonight and the food was horrid. Gumbo was full of chunks of onion, it borderlined a french onion soup. The jambalaya had 2 sausages, 2 pieces of chicken, and plenty of dried rice. Bread pudding was something that you would get at you rednekk cousin's trailer park home. All this for $30+ bucks. It was one of those diners that makes you wonder about the upcoming nightmares at night. Oh, one more thing, the portions just got very small.
Won't be going back – I'm sorry to disagree with the other two reviewers but my husband and I went there for Valentine's Day and were sady dissappointed. The menu and prices sounded good on the internet but when we got there it wasn't a good meal. The prices were higher than posted on line which I know happens frequently at other restaurants but they really should keep this correct, however, the food was very bland. Our salads were fine, I had the cajun ranch dressing which was mildly spicy and was the best part of my meal, however, it took quite awhile to get the server's attention to get silverware after she delivered our salads. I ordered a half portion pork tenderloin with steamed vegetables and mild cajun sauce on the side. My husband ordered a half portion seafood delight over rice with same sauce on the side. My pork and vegetables tasted like there was no seasoning at all, no salt, no garlic, nothing; totally tasteless. My husband joked that he wanted to eat light which is why he ordered only a half-portion but he got about 1/2 cup of rice on his plate with ONE shrimp, ONE clam and TWO mussels. This didn't even amount to an appetizer! The mussels, when he could dig them out of the shell, were so rubbery he could barely chew them. We were still so hungry we ended up dipping all the french bread into the sauce, which, unfortunately, also had little flavor and tasted very greasy. Needless to say we won't be returning or recommending this to any of our friends. I was so dissappointed as I was so looking forward to a nice meal for Valentine's Day, 2008.
A steady stream of regulars filters into the modern dining room and a cool patio for some sizzling specialties. – The Scene
The gallery like dining room showcases rotating exhibits by Albuquerque artists. Track lighting plays off the luminescence of the glass brick walls. Black lacquer tables add to the clean, modern look of the dining room. The Nob Hill location attracts people to the cute patio.
The Food
Create your own meal by choosing shrimp, chicken or pork with rice or pasta and covering it with one of the signature sauces: Cajun, Jamaican habanero, Indian curry or Thai peanut, all available in four degrees of heat. The medium level is hot even by New Mexican standards, making extra hot brutal. The fantastic gumbo contains shrimp, corn, okra and is topped with rice. The jambalaya is a saucy treat with shrimp, sausage and veggies in a tomato broth. Salads are always fresh while beer and wine selections complement the food well.
Excellent Jamaican Sauce! – The food is excellent -- I especially recommend the superb Jamaican sauce, though the traditional Cajun sauce is excellent, too. Most of the meal portions are large; I usually have leftovers for another meal at home.
Hot Shrimp on a platter.. – This was the best Shrimp dish I have ever had in New Mexico...I Used to live in Milan, NM and only visited Albuquerque every now and then...but when I did...Ragin' Shrimp was the place 2 go...I have taken many friends there...

Should the research being done by America's business schools have to offer relevant lessons for business?
A task force of AACSB International, the school-accrediting organization that also goes by the moniker Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, admits that it is going very slowly as it ponders that question. To business professors, it points out, the case is not all that obvious.
"It is not easy to fix something when people cannot agree it is broken," is the way the "Impact of Research" task force put it in the opening words of a recent final report. After suggesting in a preliminary draft last August that business schools should try harder to produce research with real-world applications, it got significant feedback that the organization should leave basic, "pure" research alone, even if it did not have immediate relevance in the business world.
The controversy reflected long-simmering complaining among finance executives and other managers that the graduates being hired today come from an academic environment nearly devoid of business street-sense and acumen.
Seven months after the controversial draft was released were spent weighing the language for the final report, to make it clearer that AACSB's real goal is move in the direction of more applied research. That is something it wants to do, by creating more incentives for professors to do practical work, and by building more links between the research world and corporations that have definite research-related needs.
"The reality is that we think that there is a role for irrelevant research," says AACSB vice president Daniel LeClair with a laugh. LeClair, who also holds the title "chief knowledge officer," notes that the task force felt firmly that, as the final report says, "intellectual contributions in the form of basic theoretical research can and have been extremely valuable even if not intended to directly impact practice." Advancing econometrics is one area in which such pure research has been helpful in developing methodology, rather than practice, LeClair notes.
Why Tiptoe?
To some people who have lived in both worlds — as accounting professors and as corporate CFOs, for example — there's little reason to tiptoe around the real issue: that far too little business-school research is geared to real business needs.
Much of the research that Santa Clara University accounting professor Chris Paisley sees at his own school "is borderline ridiculous," he says. He has the perspective of someone who came to teaching eight years ago, after serving 15 years as CFO of 3 Com Corp. Sure, some research "strikes me as interesting" — as did a study showing that "when a retiring CEO stays on the board, companies apparently outperform the market." Other studies, though, seem "obvious" to him. For example, "if a retiring CEO un-retires, to take over again as CEO, the second time he/she retires the new CEO will insist that they no longer be on the board."

Mt. Lebanon to re-examine middle school assignments
The Mt. Lebanon School District will re-examine guidelines governing how students from Markham Elementary School are assigned to the district's two middle schools. For years, some parents have complained the current principles are applied arbitrarily and inconsistently.
The school board's policy committee, chaired by Mary Birks, will begin the review at its March meeting.
School board president Elaine Cappucci said the guidelines were created in 1997. They were reviewed in 2006, but left unchanged at that time.
According to Cappucci, their main objectives were to balance the populations of each middle school, while providing some relief for families living furthest from one middle school or the other. Additionally, the guidelines forbid the division of any school population on a permanent basis.
"I would certainly like to see a review," said board vice-president Lawrence Lebowitz. "Since I began serving on the board I have consistently heard concerns from residents on this issue. With a major construction project ongoing that may impact students' ability to walk to school, I think it's a good time to review these guidelines."
The next policy committee meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. March 5, in the Jefferson Middle School Library.
