Fantasy's Owner 'Not Going to Back Down' After Council Proposes New LawGRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - Owners of the controversial lingerie store planning to open a branch in Grand Forks say they've been lied to and will continue to fight the city.
By: Stacie Van Dyke, WDAZ
GRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - Owners of the controversial lingerie store planning to open a branch in Grand Forks say they've been lied to and will continue to fight the city.
The city council voted Monday night to move ahead with a proposed law that would set new licensing requirements in place for adult-oriented businesses.
The proposed licensing requirements will likely make it illegal for an adult-oriented business to operate within 500 feet of a church, school, park or residence, preventing Fantasy's from opening in its planned location at the corner of N. Washington and 5th St.
"We'll fight because we're in the right. I'm not going to back down," Fantasy's co-owner Kim Patterson said.
For Patterson, Monday night's meeting was just another hoop she feels she's had to jump through.
"Under the current zoning laws, the location is fine. But under the new laws it might not be. It's been just one stall tactic after another until they can push through this new zoning law," Patterson said.
"I have no problem with the store being in Grand Forks, but it's a question of where. I'm not sure you would want these items on the website 500 feet from your home or the homes of your constituents," council member Eliot Glassheim said.
The new ordinance heavily cites negative effects of adult stores, such as unlawful activities. Kim's husband, Jim, skipped their daughter's college graduation to attend the meeting and act as a spokesperson for the business
"We made a financial commitment to this town. We've never had a problem with prostitution or any crazy stuff like that," Jim Patterson said.
The Pattersons are not looking at any other locations for the store. They say they're willing to make changes to make the planned location work
"If we have to get rid of the back room and turn it into a Spencer Gifts, that's what we'll do," Jim Patterson said.
"We're hoping they're going to do the right thing and send city commissioners down to look at the store and say 'we were completely wrong about what you are,'" Kim Patterson said.
The proposed licensing law would also apply to the longtime downtown store Romantix.
"We're going to make them change their store based upon a new business that isn't actually going to put in the things that Romantix has," council member Dana Sande said.
Romantix management refused to comment.
The ordinance will be introduced for a first reading at the council's next meeting April 2, but council members are split on how quickly to move on the issue.
Kim Patterson says she will attend the next meeting.

Regarding the below (-----) info from another post, my system will try (as is said below) to hibernate, but it won't get all the way there. Hard drive activity stops, but it does not shut down. If I turn the power off, then back on, it will start, but I have to "restore previous session" in the browser and other open apps don't restart, with the accompanying hassle.
So because it tries, will the suggested fix then cause it to work correctly, or is the literal "try" not really what he means?!?
PLEASE NOTE - this is a desktop system, not a laptop.
Before enabling hibernation, please try to test whether it works correctly by running pm-hibernate in a terminal. The system will try to hibernate. If you are able to start the system again then you are more or less safe to add an override.
To do so, start editing
sudo nano /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla
Fill it with this
[Re-enable hibernate by default] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate ResultActive=yes
Save by pressing Ctrl-O and exit nano by pressing Ctrl-X
Restart and hibernation is back!

GREAT PLACE TO SHOP...Gifts and invitations :) – As stressful as wedding planning can be, the employees at The Grand Papery have made me feel nothing but special and number one! Every time I walk in, they have smiles on their faces and are willing to work with me for as long as it takes to find the BEST final product. They treat you as family and make you feel VERY special. They will advise on what would be most tasteful and help you put all the pieces together. If take care of there customers and help you as if they were making invitations for there own wedding! Best quality, price and customer service! The owner is amazing, she makes every customer important no matter what they are purchasing (or looking for). She is always in there to help her customers with lots of positive energy!
They were so helpful that I have ordered all of my "save-the-dates", invitations, and napkins and much more for my wedding. This will NOT be the last time I use them. THEY ARE AMAZING!
Check out there new location- it is a great space. They have many great gifts and a GREAT selection of cards for any occasion. But the selection of wedding invitations is the best in Portland! (trust me I checked everywhere).
Wonderful store.... – With an owner who knows her stuff, is very bright, and won't waste your time. The holiday postcards that she did for my firm were first rate! As someone who operates a business, I appreciate being able to get what I need, when I need it, right the first time!
While there is certainly lots of stuff displayed, I find it quite enjoyable to peruse the aisles and see what assundry items are available. There always seems to be some really cool new "thing" in the store every time I visit.
I highly recommend The Grand Papery!
Great service - excellent creative talent – Having recently read the reviews, after shopping at the GP, I was somewhat dismayed. My assumption is that the few authors have an axe to grind or want more service than a small store owner generally can give. My experience was quite the opposite. I had in mind the invitations I wanted. The owner, giving me access to multiple invitation books (more than I've found in the PDX area), gave me time and direction to come up with an invitation I wanted, without the pressure to upsell. Her ideas were right on and the invitation turned out amazingly well. What a blast of fresh air. As far as finding that just right gift, her store is full of everything imaginable. While some may call it clutter, thank god, I call it choices. From jewelry to humerous frige magnets its there. I will continue to drive across town to shop at the GP. You should too.
Abrasive owner and cluttered – The Grand Papery has a wonderful idea of customizing invitations, however in my opinion the store is way too cluttered! They should simply stick to what their name states-paper. The entire store is cluttered with so many other things that it is hard to find anything of interest. There are things on the floor because the shelves are too packed. It seems she is copying what the other stores provide, trying to compete. She needs to stick with the invitations, wrapping paper, and cards. Also when I was there I was not greeted by any of the employees. When I was ready to make a purchase, the owner walked by me 3 times without asking me if I needed help or if I was ready to purchase. When she finally stopped she was very abrasive and seemed bothered with having to wait on me. I was not impressed with the store layout, the clutter or the customer service.
The Grand Papery and Gifts – This store is awesome! The owner is an inspired buyer, and a former high powered marketing executive from San Francisco. She has a great eye for design and will help her customers create invitations which people will talk about and remember for years! She designed an invitation to a big wine country party for me and people tell me they saved the card because they loved it so much and it's been nine months since the party! Plus there are wonderful gifts for everyone. And cards. Purses. Jewelry. gifts for babies, teenagers, customers, and inspirations for the people you love. Its really fun.
HORRIBLE Customer Service - Owner – I went in to order some invitations. The owner was such a disgrace re her customer service that I walked out. She made me feel like I was completely wasting her time (I was only there for half an hour going through books - not that long). When ordering invitations (especially spending $400+), I wanted to make sure the invites were perfect and what I wanted (look, price, etc.). So, the owner showed me about five options. When I asked to recap a price on a previous one she showed me, she "grunted" and rolled her eyes stating she would have to look it up again. Then, she challenged me on something I really wanted on the invitations (a photo printed on the invite vs. being glued on) and kept challenging me in a condescending manner. The last draw was stating she would have to make a phone call to check on a price on an invitation I was interested in - she stated to me, in a very irritated way, "you go ahead and ponder what you want, THEN I'll make a phone call when you make up your mind." And, she walked off. As I walked out, no one even acknowledged me leaving or said anything. I was prepared to spend a lot of money there when I walked in. Too bad their customer service, the Owner, lost business, again! Find another store that will appreciate your business!
Great merchandise; poor customer service – I too have had wonderful shopping experiences at the Grand Papery. I had my wedding invitations done there and they turned out great. But the owner is pretty abrasive and, in my opinion, rude. I have continued to shop there because it's down the street from my house and the items they sell are unique, fun and charming. But the customer service is a turn off.
Great Products/Poor Customer Service – I recently purchased my wedding invitations from the Grand Papery and the products are great. I had a less than pleasant experience with the owner of the store and found that she needs to improve her attitude towards her customers. The staff working in the store were helpful, friendly, and supportive.

More of a free weekend for me again, but given that yesterday was Meatfare Sunday I expected that and made allowances. Back on track now. The weekend was crazy and I didn't get measurements done, so no progress report.
Okay... My first real setback, but I'm back with it.
Fell ill last Wednesday, so I worked out with a fever and nearly threw up in the gym. Felt even worse after, so I took Thursday off to rest. Friday I drove for 8 hours and lived in a hotel, where all the gym equipment was broken... I brought food, but with two roomates and a group of 8 always eating out for meals, I caved. I did pretty well Friday and Saturday, maintaining small portions and trying to eat some semblence of protein and carbs, but Sunday and Monday were goners. I reverted back to the old habits and worse.
I'm pressing past though, and ready for what today will bring. I'm back to my meals, in every way, and will be back in the gym dark and early tomorrow. It's harder than ever picking back up after that failure, but I know within a few days I'll feel great again, and be back in the swing of things.
Definitely part of the learning experience, though. I don't want to mess up like that again!
Today's Scripture:
1 John 1:9- "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Not that eating out was a sin, but I've shunned it so long and done so well, I felt incredibly guilty. I talk to God like I talk to a friend, so I just repented and said 'I slipped up.' And now it's time to move on. My body will cleanse itself of the nasty foods and the cravings will subside again, and I will see the changes I know are coming!
Sorry to see that the posts seem to be falling off. Hopefully the others will get back on here and share their successes. We've all struggled at one time or another.
Cardio for me today. Decided to mix it up a little and use a stationary bike. Good results. Also a reminder on how a little different motion can impact a different set of muscles.
Food plan has been good. Like many, weekends are still tougher for me because I'm back home and not in the sterile environment.
Keep doing all things through Christ, who strengthens you!
I've got a lot of preparation to do for the start of Great Lent next week, so I will be "offline" until March 25-26 or so. Everybody keep on keepin' on!
Finally back in the gym today, and it was incredible. I cannot believe the difference in what I can lift easily compared to just three weeks ago, even with some time off. I was actually craving the gym last night, I needed to get back in charge of my body! Just picking back up like I hadn't stopped, so I did UB today. Nailed some things I'd failed before, and need to work on some other stuff, but I had that great feeling of 'I-can't-wash-my-hair-because-my-arms-won't-lift-up'. I think I could become addicted to that feeling very easily.
So glad I got back into it today, it gave me a renewed vigor to see this through.
Jeremiah 29:11- "For I know the thoughts I think toward you, saith the Lord. Thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
I really focused on the end of that today- "... an expected end." This journey, although a lifelong change, is twelve weeks of high intensity changes to our lives. At the END of that 12 weeks, we'll expect to see results. How refreshing that God's thoughts toward us are the same- He gives us an expected end, an end that He knows could come to pass if we do all we can. I'm putting that into this program. I expect to see some things, and I WILL see them!
UBWO today. Focusing on shoulders, bi, tri. Really good workout. It's really amazing to recognize how much your shoulder does with any arm movement. It really is the connecting point.
Ate well today, except for a dinner recipe that didn't turn out so well, so I settled for a quick (and poor choice) burger.
Another cardio run tomorrow. Excited for the alarm clock to go off. How ridiculous is that??!!
Today was Cardio. My goal has been to go two miles on the elliptical (at least, I think it's two miles. I go until it says 2, so whatever that 2 is!), so I'll do the 19 minutes of HIIT, then go at a level 6 or 7 for a few minutes, then cool down at a 5 until I hit 2. Pushed it harder today, and I shaved nearly a minute off since last time. I'm pretty happy with that, considering I felt like I could've pushed it harder but my breath wouldn't catch up with my legs... if that makes any sense.
Felt a good pain in my UB today, which was refreshing. Tomorrow is LB, and I'm thrilled for it!
Today's scripture:
Matthew 6:33- "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."
This was a necessary one for me today. I usually get up and read the Bible and pray for about 30-40 minutes before I go to the gym, but this week I've been sleeping in a little and it's been cutting into my devotion time. That's not a sacrifice I'm willing to make. If I want to see this program through, I know I need to rely on Him to get me through it!
Hi all - I keep forgetting to check in but I wanted to report that I am doing really well with this challenge. I have been consistent with my workouts and continue to eat right.
Yesterday I was asked by two separate individuals if I had lost a lot of weight.. wow!!! And then 3 other people said I looked really great!!
Funny thing is that the scale hasn't budged but about a drop of 2lbs but my clothes are feeling looser and I can see muscles starting to appear! YAY!!!
I am posting a picture on my profile of myself right now to compare to where I was when I started... And in the media gallery there are a couple pics of me on the start date... i look pregnant.. very embarrassing but now - it's crazy, I'm not bloated, my body is starting to look tighter, my skin is clearing up and I feel so vibrant. This is the best thing ever - I do love it!!
I'm still going strong. I'm down about 9lbs.
Awesome!! Dom!
PS: I got the Betagen and just started using it. To my surprise I actually like it and I do NOT retain water from it like everyone warned me I would. I really like this product and highly recommend it!
Anna and Dom, great to hear you're still with it. Congrats on the results, so far!
Cardio today. Stair climber. Great time! Looking forward to the exercise part of the free day.
Well, St. Patty's day was worth it. The corned beef was delicious, I ate one big meal and then had some ice cream for dinner. Definitely a free day!
Was fighting a cold over the weekend, and nose was still running this morning but I didn't want to stay home again! I didn't do any cardio, specifically, on Saturday since I was doing some remodeling and moving a whole lot of furniture up and down stairs most of the day. I ate well enough, missed a meal but still only ate appropriate things.
However- I'm feeling super pumped this week. Last night, I took all my measurements again, and I'm down almost 5% in body fat to 22.5%. What an incredible feeling. My goal has been to hit 15%, and it's clearly within the realm of possibility now. Praise the Lord! Additionally, the scale is down 9 pounds to 238, which puts me at a total loss of 14 lbs of fat, and a gain of 5 lbs of muscle. Wooo!!
As we start week 5, I encourage you all to keep at it! I know that we've not been posting as much, but I pray that you're feeling this habit start to sink in, as I am. We can, and we will, see this through! We're almost halfway!
Romans 8:28- "God worketh all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose."
Think of BFL as part of your current purpose in life. You are purposing, in your heart of hearts, to get in shape and put the old habits and ways behind. This has to work out for good- even one pound lost is GOOD!
Cardio yesterday. UBWO today - feeling good. Seeing some positive results in my blood pressure lowering. Ready to keep on pushing. We're closing in on a 1/3 of the way there!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The card was fantastic. I received so many compliments on it. I selected some colors that did not end up printing well at all. Without any hesitation, I was sent a whole new set of replacement cards. I didn't even have to hassle with sending the originals back. That is true customer service. I couldn't be happier with my experience with wedding paper divas and I will continue using them as other needs arise. Thanks again!"
"Upon ordering my save the dates, they were delivered on my doorsrep a whole week prior to the estimated arrival date. I couldn't be more satisfied. I adore the sweet penguins on the front. I went with the regular matte cardstock and I wish I had gone with the pearl shimmer. Next time I place an order, I will go with pearl shimmer on the invitations."
"My fiance and I bought these Save the Dates for our upcoming wedding because we loved the calendar idea and the font was very sleak. All of our guests told us how beautiful and classy the cards were because it didn't scream "SAVE THE DATE". Customer service and delivery was also great, we got the invites very quickly and they were a very quality product."
"We were extremely pleased with our Save-the-Date cards. We ordered this one in the pre-set green shade and loved it. It comes out as a very clean, bright green against the textured white. But not a neon green. Very classic - we've had many compliments!"
"I received many compliments on the tea rose save the dates. Many of the comments I received involved "elegant" and "simple and romantic". They really turned out great. I cannot say enough about the customer service department of Wedding Paper Divas. Everyone I have dealt with has been awesome. I have already recommended to several others they should use Wedding Paper Divas the next time they need invites or anything for an event/party."

Musicians from Marlboro to Perform April 13
For Immediate Release
March 25, 2003
Enthusiastic performances by rising stars of chamber music are the hallmark of Musicians from Marlboro, which makes its annual appearance at the Clark Art Institute on Sunday, April 13, at 3:00 p.m. The ensemble of young musicians from the renowned Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont will play Quartet in C major, Hob: III:58, Opus 54, No. 2, by Franz Josef Haydn; String Quartet No. 3 (1927) by Béla Bartók; and Divertimento No. 17 in D Major, K. 334 (1779) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Tickets are $10 ($8 for members) and are available at the Clark museum shop or by calling 413-458-2303, extension 324.
Musicians for the May 1 performance will be Todd Phillips, violin, Catherine Cho, violin, Brian Chen, viola, Sumire Kudo, cello, Kurt Muroki, double bass, Angela Cordell, horn, and Patrick Pridemore, horn.
Musicians from Marlboro offers exceptional young musicians from the summer Festival together with seasoned artists in chamber music programs of rarely-heard works and masterpieces of varied instrumentation. Each year, more than twenty-five artists take time from their regular activities to bring Musicians from Marlboro concerts to cities around the country. The Musicians from Marlboro touring program has introduced many of today's leading solo and chamber music artists to American audiences, including pianists Richard Goode and Andreas Schiff, violinist Jaime Laredo, flutist Paula Robison, and soprano Benita Valente. Now in its thirty-sixth season, Musicians from Marlboro offers audiences across North America a sample of the varied programs and spirit of music making so characteristic of Marlboro, prompting the Washington Post to describe Musicians from Marlboro as "a virtual guarantee of musical excellence."
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Gallery admission is free now through May.

Our second issue looks at the materiality of Identity and how it takes shape in Art, Fashion, Style, and even gender. We can hide behind it and create a shield; decorate it, glitter and sparkle it in order to reveal its translucency and invite the world inside; or materialize it, in order to transform the world around us.
Dekit's Winter and Debut issue was designed to open up the question, "What does it mean to be human?" as an experiential conversation between us, our contributing artist and our readers. The different sections created segments or fragments that can be nuanced together to create a larger picture and larger dialogue of understanding what the core ideals of being human is about.

Utu Redux
We celebrate the rescue and restoration of Geoff Murphy's unsurpassed 1983 epic.
Producers: Don Blakeney, David Carson-Parker, Kerry Robins
Redux Producer: Graeme Cowley Screenplay: Keith Aberdein, Geoff Murphy
Photography: Graeme Cowley
Editor: Michael Horton
Production designer: Ron Highfield
Costume designer: Michael Kane
Sound: Graham Morris
Music: John Charles
With: Anzac Wallace (Te Wheke), Bruno Lawrence (Williamson), Tim Elliott (Colonel Elliot), Kelly Johnson (Lieutenant Scott), Wi Kuki Kaa (Wiremu), Tania Bristowe (Kura), Ilona Rodgers (Emily Williamson), Merata Mita (Matu), Faenza Reuben (Hersare), Tom Poata (Puni), Martyn Sanderson (vicar)
World Premiere
The glorious peak achievement of the new feature film culture that burgeoned here in the 70s, Geoff Murphy's 1983 Utu is unveiled afresh in its ravishing, pictorial splendour. Here it is, our own turbulent history transcribed with cinematic élan – and an elegiac, absurdist vision of the devil's mischief in paradise.
Utu traces the interwoven trajectories of several vividly etched characters caught up in the wake of the vengeful Te Wheke, whose people have been massacred in a British military blunder. Thirty years ago we thought such a copious panorama of the Land Wars might be where our movies were headed. Now that we have a feature film industry, Utu looks like a miracle.
Dismayed by existing copies, Murphy and DoP Graeme Cowley tracked down the available original elements to be reconstituted in this splendid new, digitised director's cut. Redux improves in significant small ways on the original New Zealand release. Murphy has snipped a few diversions along the way towards Te Wheke's capture and trial, and the clearer sense of disparate forces converging gives the film a new, baleful energy. The culminating campfire scene, conducting the rueful business of satisfying utu without setting off another round of recrimination, speaks more clearly than ever to a New Zealand audience now. But it is not the film that has been changed to make that so.
"Geoff Murphy has an instinct for popular entertainment. He also has a deracinated kind of hip lyricism. And they fuse quite miraculously in this epic… The ferocity of these skirmishes and raids is played off against an Arcadian beauty that makes your head swim." — Pauline Kael, New Yorker

You walk out to the lighthouse via a gravel pathway and can go into it to view colorful displays of its past history of saving boats and people.
To get to the lighthouse you pass through the Fort Rodd Hill military fort that has historical significance in Victoria/Vancouver Island. You can view century old ramparts of coastal gun batteries, gun turrets, camoflauged searchlights, and underground bunkers. Deer can be seen at dusk during your visit.
For more information check their website at parkscan.harbour.com. Rates to visit are $4/$6 for annual pass, and $2 for children 6 - 12. Family rates are also available.
From journal Flowers, Flowers, Everywhere - Charming Victoria
by btwood2
Rodeo, New Mexico
April 20, 2006
Increased population and ship traffic due in large part to the 1858 Fraser Canyon gold rush necessitated the building of lighthouses to prevent accidents. Fisgard Lighthouse, the first one built, was named after Royal Navy ship HMS Fisgard, and its lantern and first lightkeeper came from England.
The 1860's were a tumultuous time on Vancouver Island. California forty-niners who hadn't struck it rich on the Mother Lode sought riches further north. British Columbia quickly became an official colony, with Victoria, only recently incorporated as a city, its capital. A fresh find of gold on the Leech River, near Sooke on southwest Vancouver Island, attracted yet more gold-seekers. Smallpox imported by whites decimated indigenous peoples of the island and coastal mainland: Nuu-chah-nulth (formerly Nootka), Coast Salish, and Kwak'wala.
The lamps shall be kept burning bright and clear every night from sunset to sunrise. First order of duty for lightkeepers, who needed to be natural night owls or keep strong coffee at hand. And this was but one of a long list of their duties, which also included dusting, cleaning and polishing all lamps and reflectors to a proper state of brilliancy, logging all ships that pass by, and taking note of any ships unfortunate enough to wreck. Fisgard's fourth order Fresnel lens broadcasted its focused beam 10 nautical miles out to sea.
A wrought iron spiral staircase winds gracefully to the second floor, where lenses, lanterns, reflectors, and other lighthouse equipment are displayed, along with written descriptions of the scientific principles that make them work. Downstairs you'll find photographs of other sentinels of the Canadian coast, the HMS Fisgard in full sail, and a volunteer happy to answer any questions. Additional exhibits tell stories of storms and shipwrecks. Because we were a bit pressed for time, we didn't watch the video.
Fisgard Lighthouse is still in use as an active aid to navigation, but has been automated since 1929. The causeway connecting Fisgard Island to mainland was built in 1951. Fisgard Lighthouse is open daily year round.
From journal Victoria Heritage
Fort Rodd Hill was built in the late 1800's, one of a much larger system of defensive artillery positions guarding Victoria and Esquimalt Harbours. Decommissioned in 1956, three batteries and many other very well-preserved buildings still stand on the grounds, overlooking the Juan de Fuca Strait. Handed guide and map after paying admission at the entrance station, we begin our self-guided tour of Fort Rodd.
Past ack-ack artillery and field guns, we enter the 2-story brick 1897-built warrant officer's quarters. Inside, I'm surprised to find an extensive display about Canadian liberating forces in the Netherlands in 1945. I hadn't realized that then Crown Princess Juliana took shelter in Canada, giving birth to daughter, Margriet, in Ottawa in 1943.
Also unknown to me was that 7600 Canadians perished during the last 9 months of World War II. I recall my mother telling me about jubilant partying following liberation, dancing till late hours with a handsome Canadian soldier named Roy. But no hanky-panky, she was already engaged to my father, who'd been immediately drafted into a temporary peace-keeping police force when it was discovered he'd fought in the Dutch Underground.
From the Battery Command Post we catch our first glimpse of a Columbia black-tailed deer. This sub-species, similar to mule deer but smaller, is native to Vancouver Island and parts of B.C. They thrive on the acorns of the endangered Garry oak, widely present on Vancouver Island before introduction of non-native plant species in the 1800's. Later, we'll see more does and fawns browsing and gamboling.
Passing well-signed, well-preserved barracks, kitchen complete with menu list (appears much superior to C-rations), we end up in the canteen, which now serves as store and snack bar. We learn soldiers enjoyed beer, pickled eggs and pigs' feet here. We settle for a cinnamon roll.
Both lower and upper batteries were built between 1895-97. Belmont Battery, closer to the shoreline, was built in 1900, to defend against torpedo boats, which might slip under the guns of the two larger batteries. Bombs were stored in underground magazines excavated from solid rock. On shore, we examine remnants of anti-torpedo nets, and a cleverly camouflaged searchlight emplacement, made to look like a boathouse. Prior to radar, searchlights were used to detect enemy targets. We descend stairs to a searchlight engine room, where the soldiers were called glow-worms.
We end our tour at the upper battery, where a five-ton gun barrel (the 1897 original) sits on its emplacement in firing position.

Mike Paul, The Reputation Doctor®, Goes to Oklahoma
I entered the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial (officially called the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum) the morning of May 15, 2013 with a very heavy heart. There are many segments to the Memorial and each touched my heart and spirit deeply. I always planned to tour the Memorial before my keynote speech on reputation and ethics that afternoon for the 2013 Compass Awards sponsored by the Oklahoma Business Ethics Consortium (OK Ethics) and the Oklahoma Quality Foundation. But what I did not expect at the Oklahoma Memorial, was to experience a flood of emotions tied to my experience with NYC's 9/11 tragedy.
It became a tale of two cities in both my head and heart and for a few minutes I was overwhelmed with emotion. I thought of all those in both tragedies who lost their lives and I wanted to honor their memory. I decided I needed to share that emotion some how in my speech that afternoon. But how? I was to speak about reputation and ethics. And then it hit me! I felt called to challenge all who could hear my speech that afternoon to remember the terrorist tragedies in both Oklahoma City and NYC and ask themselves the following accountability questions:
If we are truly called to live more ethical and moral lives, how can we not hold ourselves much more accountable by tapping into the memory of all those we lost to these tragedies because they are dead and don't have that option? Are we lying to ourselves too often? Are we truly seeking to avoid the slippery slope with our reputations each day? Do we care enough to bring lasting change in our lives and our families' lives?
We all need that type of accountability. The type of accountability that pulls at our emotions. That type of accountability that rocks us to our core as human beings. The kind that puts a line in the sand personally from that moment on.
As a result, I also shared what I call my 6 reputation bricks for building an excellent, long-term reputation:
So now, I ask all those reading my blog the same questions:
* Do you have true accountability helping you manage your reputation?
* Have you given someone with experience and trust permission to be your accountability partner and "call" you on your "stuff?"
* Are you really seeking to better your reputation by applying the above 6 reputation bricks to your daily life?
If not, today is the day to begin. Why? Because Your Reputation Is Everything!TM Let me know what you think and follow me also on Twitter @ReputationDr (http://www.twitter.com/reputationdr) and my Facebook Fan Page at http://www.facebook.com/reputationdoctor Both are available as buttons on the top right this blog for easy access to follow.

for a good movie to see this weekend? Matt Atchity says if you are, you
probably shouldn't see any of this week's new releases.
is the third movie in the sci-fi series and unlike the last one, this is not
going for the younger audience with a PG-13 rating. Matt told Steve and Maria
he's warning parents to not make this one a family outing.
is a violent brutal movie...make no mistake this an R rated movie, this is not
something to take the kids to."
says "Riddick" goes back to the roots of the first installment,
"Pitch Black", but is much darker. Critics are split on it.
ones that like it say it's a solid B movie, you should look at it that
way...the ones that don't like it say that it really lacks in dialogue and
character development and anything you would expect out of a real movie...I
personally did not care for this movie I found that it had kind of a misogynistic
streak to it that rubbed me the wrong way."
other notable release is "Salinger", a documentary about the
reclusive author of "The Catcher in the Rye". Matt says critics
aren't liking this because it's the complete opposite of who J.D. Salinger was.
lot of critics say this movie kinda builds up a cult of personality which would
be the last thing Salinger would have wanted....you get a lot of people like
Philip Seymour Hofffman and Edward Norton and John Cusack talking about the
influence that he had on their lives and that's what really kinda rubs critics
the wrong way...if you read "The Catcher in the Rye" it would be
something that Holden Caufield would have said was very phony."
thinks hardcore fans of the author will find something to like if they go see
critics that do like it say there's just enough gems in here that do make it
worth watching so if you are somebody that wants to learn more you might be
willing to see this."
also talks up a couple of smaller new releases on DVD you probably missed
during this summer of blockbuster event movies...he says they're far better
than the new offerings at your local theaters.
Atchity is the editor in chief for the pop-culture website "Rotten Tomatoes." He also hosts a new show on Sirius XM called "Rotten Tomatoes Radio."
The weekly one hour call in show airs Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

General Douglas MacArthur is arguably one of the most accomplished military officers in American history. His resume boasts having lead troops into battle in World War I, superintendent of West Point, Army Chief of Staff under two presidents (Hoover and FDR), World War II Pacific commander, presided over Japan's surrender in 1945 as well as the military occupation of Japan following the war. When conflict erupted on the Korean peninsula in 1950, MacArthur pulled off one of the most daring and brilliant invasions in modern history, choosing to land troops at Inchon in order to divide and route North Korean forces (who had pushed South Korean forces to the tip of the peninsula) – eventually forcing the North Korean army to retreat to the North's border with China. China – claiming the fear of invasion (a matter the students of history will continue to debate for decades to come) – joined the North Korean forces and pushed MacArthur back to the 38th parallel.
MacArthur had urged President Truman to take the fight to the Chinese. Just as Patton, in many ways, foresaw the Cold War with the Soviet Union, MacArthur believed China needed to be confronted, and fast. Frustrated that Truman saw things differently, MacArthur publicly announced his dissatisfaction, ultimately leading to his dismissal by Truman in 1951. MacArthur was – and still is – celebrated as a hero, and he should be. What should not be celebrated, however, is his public insubordination to the President. It's a difficult position to reconcile for many of us who felt Truman should have taken a different road – possibly even taken MacArthur's advice. Truman did the right thing in dismissing MacArthur, even if we disagree with Truman's choices on the war. The same goes for President Obama's dismissal of General McChrystal. McChrystal's complaints should have been fully and bluntly discussed, in private, with the President. If he still felt, after all that, that the President was not giving him what he needed to fight the war, then he should have resigned, retired and taken his case to the public. Most Americans would have listened, politics aside, to a man who'd served his country honorably and respected the chain of command enough to not publicly denounce the President while actively wearing the uniform.
It's all too easy for the 'opposition' (in this case, conservatives) to selectively ignore the importance of our military respecting the civilian chain of command at the top when the target of the complaint is a President with whom we strongly disagree. It's conveniently ignored by the Left as well, when it suits them (take the treatment of Petraeus today vs. the "Betray Us" ad in 2004). The danger would be for us, as citizens, to take the military's respect for civilian leadership for granted, or to sacrifice that respect for the sake of politics. The importance of this principle – and the essential truth that the office of president must be respected, even if you don't like the man – is one of the many reasons why our nation hasn't fallen into the cycle of "bloody coup after coup" as other nations have when civilian and military leadership come into conflict. Our current President doesn't seem to mind ignoring, dismissing or even undermining the institutions that have made us great, but in accepting McChrystal's resignation, he – whether for this motive or not – helped preserve them.

Director Pablo Larraín was born in 1976, three years after Chilean President Salvador Allende was overthrown; Larraín was 12 at the time of the referendum that eventually brought down General Augusto Pinochet. He was, he said, brought up in an affluent household where the assumption was that "Pinochet was the right man for the country because we were economically growing." It is partly to make sense of what he only obliquely understood as a child—"to finally open this black box"—that compelled him to make No, the third in a trilogy exploring the human cost of the Pinochet dictatorship. "Maybe I still don't understand anything, but I am trying to think about why this happened," he said.
The main character is Rene, played by the Mexican Gael García Bernal. A smart young advertising executive, he is first seen devising an ad for a soft drink called Free. His next job is a more serious proposition. Clandestinely—and facing intimidation—he leads the team devising the TV campaign for the "no" vote, opposing Pinochet's rule. One of the most distinctive aspects of the film is its look. Shot with 1980s-style video cameras, it has precisely the grainy quality of the archive footage of the real TV adverts: new and found material merge seamlessly.
What Gael's character does is key to understanding present-day Chile, said Larraín. "Pinochet imposed a capitalist society in Chile: our character grabbed the tools of capitalism that Pinochet had provided—advertising—to pull him out." For all the film's humor and joy, there is an ambivalence at the story's heart: a hardnosed cynicism in the admen's tactic of selling the idea of l'alegría, happiness, to the populace, just as if it were a soft drink called Free.

Crazy Flamingo
1035 N. Collier Blvd. #313, Marco
MARCO ISLAND — The Crazy Flamingo on Marco Island held a party on Saturday. Celebrating 22 years in business, the festivities spilled out into the parking lot of the eatery at the Marco Town Center mall, under several tents set up outside and under a blazing summer sun, with occasional respite from cloud cover. Hundreds turned out for a good time geared to the locals.
With a live band, food and drink specials including $1 draft beer and $2 burgers and BBQ pork sandwiches, and a dunk tank that drew young volunteers on a hot day, the major draw was still the chicken wing eating contest, in which brave contestants competed to be the first to down 15 hot wings.
Or extra-hot. While the first "heat" in the contest featured the Crazy Flamingo's regular hot wings, which still packed some zing, the second running pitted eaters against the "bald eagle" wings, also known as "suicide" at some restaurants, loaded with fiery peppers and hot sauce.
Most of the competitors were young men, willing to put their digestive tracts on the line for the chance to win a t-shirt and a gift certificate. One brave soul, Michael Snyder, 19, went all in, signing up for both the hot and bald eagle wing events.
"That definitely was way too hot," he said after competing in both. "I mighta overdid it a little." But he has entered the contest for four years running, he said, and would do it again.
Top honors in the hot wings segment went to Max Tyler, another 19-year-old. Gary Krist won the bald eagle wing contest, power-eating under the watchful eye of Crazy Flamingo co-manager Dan Dawber. All of the contestants went at it with gusto, liberally smearing hands, faces, shirts, mustaches and beards with sauce as they raced to finish. But he was able to savor the flavor, said Krist.
"Believe me, I tasted every damn one of them," he said afterwards. "That's what I get for supplying them with the habaneros." The hot peppers were just one of the fresh produce items on sale at the anniversary party, from a stand run by Krist and his family. Starting in October, he said, they will be selling local fruits and vegetables at the Island Garden Center on San Marco Rd. Alex Krist, 11, personally made the tasty homemade salsa, he said, with a little help from his dad.
There was plenty of activity in addition to the wing eating on Saturday. Christina Giordano served multiple tours in the dunk tank, her body painted with "dunk me" and "dare ya." Some children, like 8-year-old Sophia Saavedra, jumped into the tank to cool off without waiting for someone to score a hit with the ball. There was face painting, a hula hoop contest, and a raffle in which Sandy Wheeler won $127.
Triple Shot, a four-man rock band, pumped out the tunes, playing favorites including "Like a Rolling Stone," "Six Days on the Road," "Keep Your Hands to Yourself," and of course a plentiful helping of Jimmy Buffett tunes. "Tiki Tim" Oakes and crew kept the wings, burgers, and hot dogs coming.
"We've got 500 hot dogs, 300 hamburgers and 300 pulled pork sandwiches, just for outside," said Oakes, "and we'll probably run out by 7. I don't know how many wings we're going through."
Dawber and co-manager Rose "K" Kriberscheck showed off the truck owned by original Crazy Flamingo owner Tony Rainone, who died three years ago, now newly dolled up with pink paint and graphics.
"Tony always believed in giving back to the community. That's why we do this," said Rose.
"During the season, we're so busy we don't have a minute," added Dawber. "Ninety percent of the people here today are locals. We don't make any money doing this."
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to For the Love of Cats, the local no-kill cat rescue organization, he said.

Remember When
The Feather River Jubilee is underway to celebrate the Fourth of July. The fun-filled weekend will include a carnival on Bradley Street in Quincy near Quincy Drug Store, a Jubilee Ball Saturday night, fireworks, a parade, a band concert, talent show and baseball games.
A new weekly column will begin this week in this issue of this newspaper, the Plumas National-Bulletin. The Hot Spot by Alice Vaughan will feature clever homemaking hints for housewives.
The new section of the Almanor Forest Highway from Paxton to Crescent Mills and the grade separation structure at the south entrance to Greenville on the same route will be completed by the end of the year. The narrow bridge across from Wolf Creek will then be abandoned upon completion.
An explosion of a gasoline engine set fire to and destroyed the tank house from which Vinton homes draw their water supply Sunday afternoon.
Main Street Quincy will be the route of the Feather River Highway through Quincy when the complete artery is finally competed from Keddie to the county seat.
Minimum rates applying to contract work only, have been set by the Plumas County Board of Supervisors. Skilled labor: $1.00 per hour, intermediate labor: 75 cents per hour and common labor: 50 cents per hour.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this week approved another sublingual grass immunotherapy tablet (Grastek) as well as a sublingual ragweed immunotherapy tablet (Ragwitek). The approval of Grastek comes a few weeks after the first sublingual grass tablet, Oralair, was approved for the treatment of grass pollen induced allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis. Oralair is a mixture of five major Northern Pasture grass pollens (Sweet Vernal, Orchard, Perennial Rye, Timothy, and Kentucky Blue Grass), while Grastek contains a single grass pollen (Timothy Grass). Given the high rate of cross-reactivity among the Northern Pasture grasses, either version would be expected to be effective as immunotherapy -- especially since Timothy Grass is the most important of this group.
While I'm still not impressed, as I mentioned in my initial blog on Oralair, as I highly doubt that any of these products will get much use in the United States, it is interesting to see how quickly these products were approved following Oralair. I do think the stage is set for quick FDA approval of a cat and dust mite sublingual tablets -- then I'll be more impressed because these products will reach a larger group of allergy sufferers. After those tablets, however, it will be difficult for any additional allergens (such as tree pollen, other weed pollens and dog dander) to be approved since other allergen extracts (except for venoms) are not standardized on a major allergen.

Of the 350 Gadsden State employees who participated in the balloting, which the Alabama Education Association facilitated at several of the college's campuses, 312, 89 percent, voted that they had no confidence in the leadership provided by Staats. Another 34 employees voted that they did have confidence in the president's leadership. Four voted that they were undecided.
According to Gadsden State records, the community college has 777 full-time and part-time employees. A small group of Gadsden State employees gathered Wednesday afternoon in Wallace Hall at the college's Gadsden campus to hear the voting results. Those in the group declined to comment on the results or their concerns about the community college's leadership.
The vote is advisory and will not affect Staat's employment or the community college. However, the results were sent to Mark Heinrich, chancellor of the Alabama Community College System for review.
"I presume the chancellor will want to know why this number is as high as it is," said George Terrell, president of the Gadsden State Education Association, the local AEA chapter that represents the employees at Gadsden State.
A prepared statement from Gadsden State on Wednesday said Staats was still examining the results of the vote.
"Dr. Staats is aware of the vote today," according to the statement. "He has not had the opportunity to fully analyze these results and will be taking some time to do so."
Amy Marlowe of the post-secondary division of AEA, who announced the ballot results, said AEA had no position on the outcome of the vote.
"This poll was purely conducted as a guidance tool ... we provided this poll today as a service to employees," Marlowe said.
Marlowe has said the AEA decided to organize the vote after receiving numerous complaints in the past year from Gadsden State employees. The complaints mainly focus on some capital expenditures that critics claim are unnecessary and the efforts to hire a vice president.
"We don't have the money to pay people we already have," Terrell said.
Terrell said the administration at Gadsden State is not interested in the concerns of employees.
"They are not receptive of what employees have to say," Terrell said. "It's either their way or you're wrong."
Terrell noted that as far as AEA can tell, this was only the second time in the history of the state community college system that such a vote has been held. The Alabama Community College System was founded in 1965.
"This is almost unprecedented," Terrell said.

IlGFInsulin / insulin-like growth factor / relaxin family.
|SMART accession number:
|Family of proteins including insulin, relaxin, and IGFs. Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration.
|Interpro abstract (IPR016179):
The insulin family of proteins groups together several evolutionarily related active peptides [(PUBMED:6107857)]: these include insulin [(PUBMED:6243748), (PUBMED:503234)], relaxin [(PUBMED:10601981), (PUBMED:8735594)], insect prothoracicotropic hormone (bombyxin) [(PUBMED:8683595)], insulin-like growth factors (IGF1 and IGF2) [(PUBMED:2036417), (PUBMED:1319992)], mammalian Leydig cell-specific insulin-like peptide (gene INSL3), early placenta insulin-like peptide (ELIP) (gene INSL4), locust insulin-related peptide (LIRP), molluscan insulin-related peptides (MIP), and Caenorhabditis elegans insulin-like peptides. The 3D structures of a number of family members have been determined [(PUBMED:2036417), (PUBMED:1319992), (PUBMED:9141131)]. The fold comprises two polypeptide chains (A and B) linked by two disulphide bonds: all share a conserved arrangement of 4 cysteines in their A chain, the first of which is linked by a disulphide bond to the third, while the second and fourth are linked by interchain disulphide bonds to cysteines in the B chain.
Insulin is found in many animals, and is involved in the regulation of normal glucose homeostasis. It also has other specific physiological effects, such as increasing the permeability of cells to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids, and accelerating glycolysis and glycogen synthesis in the liver [(PUBMED:6243748)]. Insulin exerts its effects by interaction with a cell-surface receptor, which may also result in the promotion of cell growth [(PUBMED:6243748)].
Insulin is synthesised as a prepropeptide from which an endoplasmic reticulum-targeting sequence is cleaved to yield proinsulin. The sequence of prosinsulin contains 2 well-conserved regions (designated A and B), separated by an intervening connecting region (C), which is variable between species [(PUBMED:503234)]. The connecting region is cleaved, liberating the active protein, which contains the A and B chains, held together by 2 disulphide bonds [(PUBMED:503234)].
This entry represents a disulphide-rich alpha-helical domain found in insulin [(PUBMED:12595704)], as well as in related proteins, such as insulin-like growth factor [(PUBMED:15642270)], relaxin [(PUBMED:1656049)] and bombyxin [(PUBMED:7473749)].
