On July 7, 2011, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon for the District of Columbia announced a mistrial against 4 men charged with paying bribes to the Defense Minister of Gabon (a small African nation) in order to get a $15 million equipment contract. In January 2012, there had been another mistrial declared when six other defendants (3 were acquitted and 3 no verdict) walked free from similar charges. In March, the Department of Justice threw in the towel by dropping the charges against those accused and even threw out 3 guilty pleas that they had received during the prosecution of case.
The case involved a U.S. government informant working with agents to lead businessmen to believe they were working with a Gabon minister who wanted a bribe. In fact, they were being led into an undercover operation in an attempt to catch a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). In all, 22 people were charged in the case that fell apart for the government and it was a huge setback for FCPA enforcement. However, there is one guy who will now find himself behind bars, the informant who worked for the government.
Richard Bistrong, who worked as a vice president for international sales for Armor Holdings, Inc. until he was fired in 2007, was turned in to the feds by his own company when it was discovered that he had conspired to bribe officials to win contracts from several foreign countries between 2001 and 2006. Armor Holdings was later purchased by BAE Systems BAE Systems and it too had its own run-in with the FCPA, which resulted in a large settlement with the Department of Justice. Upon his dismissal, Bistrong was approached by the Department of Justice with an offer to work with them in hopes of avoiding prison for his offenses. For three years, Bistrong worked undercover for the U.S. government in an effort to win his freedom and bring others to justice for crimes … at least that was the plan. Once the sting operation drew to a close in September 2010, the government publicized Bistrong's 2009 plea agreement, which stated that he was looking at 70-87 months in prison and that one of his obligations under the plea was, "Whenever requested by the Government, working in an undercover role to record meetings and telephone calls under the supervision of the United States law enforcement …"
He did not win many friends, especially among the 22 people arrested, but prosecutors thought that his three years of working for them must be rewarded. Earlier this week prosecutors stated in their Sentencing Memorandum for Bistrong that his cooperation had been "exceptional," and asked for him to receive NO JAIL TIME for his admitted, well documented, bribes from years ago at Armor. However, Judge Leon, who had presided over the other mistrials, decided that Bistrong should do a little time in prison and handed him an 18 month sentence. The WSJ noted that a few of the 22 people who were originally arrested in the Gabon sting were in the courtroom. My guess is that they were doing fist bumps at the news.
Judge Leon told a tearful Bistrong at sentencing, "We certainly don't want the moral of the story to be: Steal big. Violate the law big. Cooperate big. Probation." But Judge Leon, that's the way it usually works!
UPDATE: Richard Bistrong exited prison in January 2014 and now is conducting speaking engagements and writing on his blog RichardBistrong.com.

"Repeatative and Left Me Regretting"
It seemed like the author repeated himself half a dozen times saying the same stuff over and over. He failed to really yield any information that was really useful to me. I was expecting a discussion on the different types of investments (which he sort of does) and then theories and suggestions on which types of investments to use in a game-plan approach. That is, if your investment portfolio was a train made up of cars (different types of investments), what type of cars work well together to make a strong portfolio...
I feel that instead, what I got was a half-hearted attempt to explain individual types of investments, and long, wordy lists of specific companies and their investment options to use if you wanted to use that type of investment. All of this I could have gotten online for free. Nothing as to why to string those types of investments together...
Maybe my expectations are different than others, but that is what I was hoping for. Maybe another book for me?

FRENCHTOWN - Educators really turn up the gain on reading in kindergarten, and many teachers feel there's no better way to help kids learn how to read than with manipulatives.
Allegiance Benefit Plan Management CEO Dirk Visser and MTN General Manager Bob Hermes recently presented Frenchtown Kindergarten teacher Michelle Daniels with the One Class at a Time check.
Daniels says language arts manipulatives can be very pricey, but the hands on and exploratory experience really helps her students grasp reading and how to communicate better.
Now all her students will have the chance to learn with six new manipulatives, and they'll be well on their way, to reading soon.
"Every student will pretty much be reading at the end of kindergarten and in order for them to go into first grade, they're going to want to have a good grasp on reading, so it's really important to get started now," Daniels explained.

Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant: Confessions of Cooking for One and Dining AloneA delightful and unexpected collection of pieces by writers, foodies, and others-including Nora Ephron, Marcella Hazan, and Ann Patchett-on the distinctive experiences of cooking for one and dining alone. If, sooner or later, we all face the prospect of eating alone, then Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant provides the perfect set of instructions. In this unique collection, twenty-six writers and foodies invite readers into their kitchens to reflect on the secret meals they make for themselves when no one else is looking: the indulgent truffled egg sandwich, the comforting bowl of black beans, the bracing anchovy fillet on buttered toast. From Italy to New York to Cape Cod to Thailand, from M. F. K. Fisher to Steve Almond to Nora Ephron, the experiences collected in this book are as diverse, moving, hilarious, and uplifting as the meals they describe. Haruki Murakami finds solace in spaghetti. Ephron mends a broken heart with mashed potatoes in bed. Ann Patchett trades the gourmet food she cooks for others for endless snacks involving saltines. Marcella Hazan, responsible for bringing sophisticated Italian cuisine into American homes, craves a simple grilled ham-and-cheese sandwich. Courtney Eldridge, divorced from a fancy chef, reconnects with the salsa she learned to cook from her cash-strapped mother. Rosa Jurjevics reflects on the influence of her mother, Laurie Colwin, as she stocks her home with salty treats. Almost all of the essays include recipes, making this book the perfect companion for a happy, lonely-or just hungry-evening home alone. Part solace, part celebration, part handbook, Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant offers a wealth of company, inspiration, and humor-and, finally, recipes that require no division or subtraction. |

Igloo to market 300k+ DomainSponsor domain names
Domain name portfolio acquired by Rook Media will be marketed by Igloo.
When Rook Media acquired DomainSponsor earlier this year, it also acquired Oversee.net's large portfolio of domain names.
Domain brokerage Igloo will begin marketing many of these domain names shortly, Igloo and Rook announced today.
While not all domain names will be offered for sale, over 300,000 will be offered through Igloo's brokers and a new online marketplace.
Oversee.net once owned about a million domain names, although that number was reduced significantly in recent years.
Many of these domain names have been listed on domain marketplaces before, but this is the first time there will be a dedicated marketplace for the domain names. It's also the first time I'm aware of that the domains will be proactively marketed.
Many other large portfolio holders have marketplaces, even simple ones like YummyNames.com for Tucows' domain names.
Rook Media acquires DomainSponsor
Oversee.net has sold DomainSponsor and its domain name portfolio to Rook Media.
One of the largest domain name parking companies has been acquired.
Rook Media has acquired domain name parking company DomainSponsor from Oversee.net, the companies confirmed today.
DomainSponsor is one of the oldest domain parking companies, serving customers since 2002. Rook, on the other hand, just launched in 2011. Rook was founded by former employees of NameDrive, a parking company that was acquired by KeyDrive in 2011.
Oversee.net has previously sold off a couple businesses including registrar Moniker and expired domain service SnapNames. But DomainSponsor was the company's initial business, so the company has essentially sold off its core. Oversee.net continues to run a number of vertically focused lead generation websites, which has been the area of growth for the company in recent years.
Rook CEO Ash Rahimi told Domain Name Wire today that Rook and DomainSponsor will continue to operate as separate parking platforms for the foreseeable future.
"The customer experience will be the same as it always was," said Rahimi. "We will be incrementally taking the best features of Rook and DomainSponsor and implementing them across platforms".
Rahimi said the acquisition brings together the best of international monetization with Rook and U.S. monetization with DomainSponsor.
"We are the largest domain parking company by a fair margin at this point," he said.
Rahimi says the acquisition has been several months in the making.
"It takes time," he explained. "We're two competitors in a pretty small industry. It's difficult to go out there and get the usual data [necessary to evaluate an acquisition]."
The acquisition, which closed last Friday, includes Oversee.net's owned and operated domain name portfolio. It does not include the DomainFest conference brand.
All of DomainSponsor's approximately 30 employees have joined Rook. That doesn't include Dwayne Walker, who has been the face of DomainSponsor at conferences in recent years. Walker will help with the transition but remain with Oversee.net.
Oversee.net CEO Debra Domeyer told Domain Name Wire that the company wasn't actively shopping DomainSponsor for sale. It didn't have serious conversations about an acquisition with any companies other than rook.
"I'm real positive about [the acquisition]," she said. "I feel really good about the Rook team and I've gotten to know them really well."
Domeyer says that Oversee.net now has about 50-60 employees.
DomainFest is less than a month away. Here's why I'm going.
DomainSponsor's annual domain name conference is just a few weeks away.
This year's date-shifted DomainFest conference is less than a month away, kicking off on March 31.
I just booked my travel for the event, which is one of many domain conferences I plan to go to this year.
With a very busy conference circuit, I'm being selective about which events I attend. Ultimately I included DomainFest as one of them for five reasons:
1. The show has a long history of putting on a professionally run event.
2. Given the long list of sponsors, I think the event will be well attended (even if smaller than in previous years).
3. The agenda includes a number of sessions and speakers I'd like to see, including Akram Atallah.
4. It's in L.A., which is an easy (and cheap) trip for me.
5. With everything going on in the industry as new TLDs launch, I feel like waiting for the next conference is just too long. -
Stone Temple Pilots to play DomainFest
STP on the bill for DomainFest 2014.
DomainSponsor's DomainFest conference is always known for legendary entertainment. The Playboy Mansion comes to mind. Renting our Universal Studios. In other words, over-the-top events when compared to other domain conferences.
This year the conference has another great event, but in an entirely different category: Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington will play Tuesday, April 2 at a private event. The location will be revealed at registration, and badges of course will be required to attend.
Talk about reliving the 90s!
I haven't yet decided if I'll attend DomainFest this year, but they're making it difficult to say no.
DomainFest returns to Hollywood, plans conference for end of March
Oversee.net's DomainSponsor announces plans for 2014 conference.
DomainSponsor's annual DomainFest conference is changing its branding back to DomainFest and has set its dates for 2014.
The nine year old conference changed its name last year to WebFest Global because the agenda had expanded beyond domain names into search, mobile, and web development. Although it appears this year's event will also focus on these expanded topics, the company is reverting its branding back to DomainFest. I think this is a good move, as many in the industry still referred to the conference by this name.
The conference is also returning to the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Hollywood. The event had shifted from Hollywood to Santa Monica for the past few years.
Earlybird pricing is $695 through February 14, and there will be day passes available for the first day of the conference.
It will be interesting to see how attendance is for the show. The conference typically takes place in late January or early February, and this year NamesCon filled that void. Also, DomainFest is being announced just two months in advance, which isn't much notice.

However, if a callback container is started, ServiceHost.setDefaults() gets called, which sets a new default port. The next call to ManagedJobFactoryClientHelper.getServiceURL(server).getURL() will return the callback container port.
There's nothing much GRAM can do about this. It seems to me that setting the defaults dynamically is a bad idea. I'm reassigning this to Jarek since I'm not sure what to do with it.
First, if the ManagedJobFactoryClientHelper API is only supposed to be used on the client-side then I think it should not use ServiceHost API. But I will change the container code not to set the host/port defaults if a container is started on the client to handle notifications.
Committed fixes (as described before) to trunk and globus_4_0_branch.

Lord of the Flies remains as provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, igniting passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. Though critically acclaimed, it was largely ignored upon its initial publication. Yet soon it became a cult favorite among both students and literary critics who compared it to J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye in its influence on modern thought and literature.
Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies has established itself as a true classic.
—Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games
"As exciting, relevant, and thought-provoking now as it was when Golding published it in 1954."
—Stephen King
"The most influential novel…since Salinger's Catcher in the Rye."
"This brilliant work is a frightening parody on man's return (in a few weeks) to that state of darkness from which it took him thousands of years to emerge. Fully to succeed, a fantasy must approach very close to reality. Lord of the Flies does. It must also be superbly written. It is."
—The New York Times Book Review
"Sparely and elegantly written…Lord of the Flies is a grim anti-pastoral in which adults are disguised as children who replicate the worst of their elders' heritage of ignorance, violence, and warfare."
—Joyce Carol Oates, New York Review of Books

text: I just have nothing to say. It's business, right? Things get bought up all the time. But the deal did happen, and it's a big deal, because it also means a new Star Wars film is coming out. And I like that idea. After the prequels came out and made it a little harder to be a Star Wars fan (at least without an asterisk) the idea of more Star Wars isn't so groundbreaking. I'm happy there's going to be another one. I look forward to the casting news and what not, but for god's sake, I can't stand the rumors. I'm at the point where I'm scared to follow any links about the new Star Wars films. But Conan O'Brien has released a video of a Wes Anderson Star Wars pitch. This is my kind of Star Wars rumor material. Fake and funny.

Thanks in advance, My brain is tapped.
I have an electrical issue in a mobile home. Single wide, 100amp service. One lite in the kitchen w/o power, one outlet in the living room w/o power and a back bedroom and bath almost entirely without power. My two biggest issues are that I have never troubleshooted in a mobile home, and I am not all that used to romex, either. The breaker in the box was labeled "Kitchen, living room, bed, bath" and it is the only one that changed nothing when all of the working lights were on. So I narrowed that down, and tried the lead wire behind a known working breaker. All is copasetic in the box... To be honest I thought the one light in the kitchen had nothing to do with it so I just dove straight into the bed/bath and undid everything the homeowner said was not working. Turned breaker back on and tried everything with a wiggy. Nothin. So I undid the switch in the kitchen, again, nothing. So here are my big questions... for those familiar with wiring in mobile homes. It appears the home run goes in the ceiling but homeowner told me there is no access to the ceiling. Is that possible? Where should I look for access? Am I assuming right that the kitchen light may also be on this same circuit as a bedroom at the other end of the home? Any other clues? The romex appears to be in great shape for a home built in 1981. I spent 2 hours there already and she is on a major budget. Thanks for ANY advice! |
Follow-Up Postings:
"It appears the home run goes in the ceiling but homeowner told me there is no access to the ceiling. Is that possible?" Yes. The ceiling area is wide open in the factory while the home is incomplete. "Where should I look for access?" If you mean direct access to the area above the ceiling, there is no way except to remove either ceiling or roof. If you mean access to the other end of the wire from the breaker panel, it could in just about any junction box or fixture in the "Kitchen, living room, bed, bath". "Am I assuming right that the kitchen light may also be on this same circuit as a bedroom at the other end of the home?" Probably, based on the "Kitchen, living room, bed, bath" label. "Any other clues?" Look in the kitchen light. BTW- if you are charging this job by the hour, consider giving the homeowner some credit for allowing you to learn all about mobile home wiring in his/her home. |
Most problems like this I have encountered in mobile homes are the same as you would see in a stick built home: poor connections due to pushin connections on receptacles. Only in the MH, the receptacles are much cheaper. |

The only other thing I can add is that sometimes your "accessible" junctions are found on the OUTSIDE of the structure. But I agree with Normel, the cheapest backstab or other cheezy receptacle and fixtures are the norm in manufactured housing. I'd check every device. |
Is there any chance at all that a GFCI could be involved? |
Thanks everyone. There are no GFCI's in the home. I already ruled out a bad device, as I dismantled every one and tested the wires directly. I am charging by the hour, but it's cut-throat rate, just for my time. She is my friend's mother, so I am not looking to make money on this, just helping her out. I am more worried about how much it will cost to FIX the problem, when I find it... So would the wires be stapled throughout the ceiling? i thought it might just be easier (if they are not stapled) to pull a new wire. There is slack in the walls, but they are stapled right out of the panel. Wayne: I didn't want to waste too much time taking down light fixtures as I figure since it's romex, it really doesn't need to go through junction boxes, Just layin up above the ceiling. Whoa. Ok. Just had a thought. She mentioned she hated her new fan in the kitchen. Calling her now. But keep those wheels turnin for me!!! I have reached a LOT of dead ends on this one!! |

I'm not that familiar with mobile homes, but I assume they're more or less similar to motorhomes, which I used to work on. I would suspect that Molex Self-Contained Power Connectors or the similar product from Amp are used to connect cables together. The connectors may be difficult or impossible to access in the finished home. If workers in the mobile home industry are anything like those in the RV industry, there's a pretty good chance that some of these connectors were not installed correctly--the connector may not have been fully closed, or the latch may be broken, or two cables may have been stuffed into one connector. If you're lucky, you may be able to find the connectors behind an access panel somewhere. Sometimes, it's easier just to run a new cable and not waste time trying to find the problem in the old one. There's a chance that you might be able to find the break with a fox and hound set like the phone guys use. That kind of tester has limited capabilities, but it's not too expensive. I always wanted to get a good wiring tracer, but they're way too expensive for me. |
Mobile homes are a world unto themselves, with rules set by HUD and the feds. They are NOT required to follow the NEC, and can have splice and junctions in concealed places that are not even in junction boxes. There is also often zero room to drill and pull cables (a 2x4 wall is NOT going to be found). Since the depreciate in value with age, it is rarely worth spending a lot of time (or money) to repair or replace much of anything. |

Brickeyee, Are you saying the factory can put a flying splice behind a wall? |
They use these or similar in Mobile Homes. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Modular Splice & Tap Kit
- Posted by wired_lain (My Page) on Thu, Nov 5, 09 at 23:03
The T-splice in saltcedar's picture is pretty fragile. It's very easy to break the latch that locks the vertical connector into the horizontal T-connector, leaving an insecure connection that may work for a while and then fail unexpectedly. |

TU celebrates by lending a paw to less fortunate pets at Tulsa Animal Welfare
The University of Tulsa's much-loved canine ambassador, Goldie, turned 1 year old on Friday, March 21, 2014. To mark the occasion, TU is kicking off a 10-day donation drive for the Tulsa Animal Welfare shelter and its furry friends.
Goldie serves as a connection between the university and the community. In addition to delighting students and alumni at athletic events and scholarly activities, she is trained as a therapy dog to visit nursing homes, libraries and hospitals. More recently, Goldie and her TU family have taken an active role in promoting responsible pet ownership and the adoption of homeless animals in our community.
"Tulsa has given Goldie such a warm reception during her first year on campus, and we wanted to pay forward the kindness she has received," said Kayla Acebo, TU's vice president of institutional advancement. "What better way to celebrate than to help our four-legged friends at Tulsa Animal Welfare?"
The university will begin accepting donations immediately in Collins Hall, 2905 E. 8th St., on the TU campus between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Other collection sites may be added via social media (@TulsaGoldie on Twitter and Instagram) through March 31 when all of the gifts will be delivered to the shelter.
Tulsa Animal Welfare is in need of many items, and TU is prepared to accept the following:
Treats should be in unopened packages and toys should be unused. If you are interested in donating monetary gifts or large items, such as blankets and towels, please contact the shelter at 918-596-8000.

San Antonio Public Health Director Adrian Rodriguez is sick of seeing so many neglected babies in the San Antonio area. Rodriguez says this is due to the teen pregnancy epidemic that has gripped San Antonio for years and that San Antonio has the highest rate of births to girls ages 10 to 14 in the United States.
On an average day, 500 San Antonio babies are aborted and 150 are dropped off at shelters across the city. Of those, statistics show that 149 will grow up to sell and/or use crack, in addition to committing 99% of crime in the San Antonio area.
In an effort to control the unwanted baby population in San Antonio, Rodriguez is implementing a spay and neuter program starting next week to allow parents of teenage boys and girls (especially those with lower incomes) to have their teenagers fixed. While admitting that this program is extreme, Rodriguez says that it's the only option other than his first idea of offering a bounty for shooting infants on site within the city limits. "It's that damn bad" said Rodriguez.
"Having your teenage child spayed or neutered is one of the most important things you can do to help bring this infestation of bastard babies under control," Rodriguez said. "Some people just aren't capable of controlling their teenage child and have no ability to prevent them from having sex. That's where we have to come in and take care of it." Rodriguez continued.
Rodriguez says that his office has already contracted with over 50 pediatricians and obstetricians to provide this service to residents of San Antonio. As an added bonus, the teenager will also be tattooed with their contact information and receive a tracking chip in case they run away. These services will be provided at no cost. Any parent refusing to spay/neuter their teen will have to pay a $500 fine for the first baby, and $1,000 for each additional baby. If a third child is born to a teenager that is not spayed or neutered, Rodriguez says that he will go to their home himself and personally "remove their goodies."
This program is one of many that Rodriguez wants to achieve during his tenure as Health Director. Upcoming projects include replacing the air conditioning system, installing "baby screens" in all high school toilets to prevent baby flushing, and requiring every teenage girl to preform at least one abortion at an area clinic to see exactly what's involved (Doctor supervision will be optional).
Rodriguez said that all of the old ways of trying to deal with this problem need to be thrown out, not unlike an unwanted fetus. He also wants to place condom dispensers in all public parks, provide birth control to San Antonio kindergartners, and install self destruct mechanisms in the wombs of all San Antonio females. These new programs are going to cost an estimated $5 billion according to Raymond Williams, San Antonio's City Manager. Williams stated that the necessary funds will come from a new tax called the, "Seriously, These Horny San Antonio Kids are Having Way too Many Fucking Babies and it's Just Ridiculous and Needs to Stop Tax."
Surprisingly, not all parents are happy about this new initiative. Angela Baxterfield, a 25 year old mother of a 13 year old daughter told us, "What my baby does with her vaginals is her business. I had a baby when I was twelve and I turned out fine." Angela then got in her hot pink station wagon, crashed it into our news van, stole our camera, smiled at us, and smoked some crack.

Magic Weekend: Etihad Stadium to host event until 2014
Super League's Magic Weekend will be played at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium in each of the next two years.
The event was staged in the North West for the first time in May and attracted a record attendance of 63,716 combined over the two days it was held.
"The overwhelming majority of fans had a fantastic experience at the stadium and were keen to return," said Nigel Wood, chief executive of the RFL.
The 2013 Magic Weekend is scheduled to take place on 25 and 26 May.
All 14 Super League clubs will play a match at the event, with the seven fixtures set to be confirmed on Monday.
The Rugby Football League had previously taken the Magic Weekend, which was first staged in 2007, to Murrayfield in Edinburgh and Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
But the success of this year's event has convinced the RFL to keep it at the home of football's Premier League champions until 2014.
Wood continued: "The location and lay-out of the Etihad Stadium provides the perfect setting for this unique and very special sporting event.
"I am sure Magic Weekend will continue to grow in stature as more fans experience the extraordinary nature of Super League."

16th November 2012 - 20:12great news! for the people on here saying it should be in another part of the world why? yes you have a small point on spread the game but to be honest the RFL does too much of that and forgets about the loyal fans in the heart land who have to pay hundreds on tickets and hotels just to watch their own team. The world cup is doing it next year that should be all that is needed to spread it.

Neural interested in Rugby League. It was very poorly attended and a major disappointment. I do. Not want to watch in an almost empty stadium with no atmosphere. Plus it cost a fortune. -

16th November 2012 - 11:57Wait a go RFL for preaching to the converted, yet again! Nothing like spreading the game.... to Manchester! Could at least try! There must be some really good brain storming sessions going on at RFL HQ to come up with this brilliant idea! Cardiff was very successful, Edinburgh nearly was, it had potential though with the right marketing! And in a world cup year? Spread the game!

16th November 2012 - 0:03London is too expensive for a weekend, unless you box clever. Cumbria would be a great place to hold it but the stadia/facilities aren't particularly great. There is, however, a great heritage in the sport and if anywhere needs promoting and strengthening, it is there.
If I won the Euromillions then I'd build a municipal stadium there for one and all but alas I am not so lucky. -

sporting know it all
15th November 2012 - 22:34just because it started as a promotional event away from the heartlands doesn't mean it has to stay that way. Rugby League is founded on adaption to circumstances. This time there is more opportunity for Magic Weekend to be successful both financially and as an event in Manchester.
I don't see Salford, Leigh or Oldham selling out their matches so why cant it be to build profile in Manchester?

We went to Palm Springs Modernism Week last month with friends. Beside the Modernism Week activities there was a fine arts show, street art fair, carnival, and the nearby Date Festival. I think Deanna and her mom went to the street fair and date festival last year.
I started messing with taking videos and uploaded these to Youtube. They are not edited at all, and are right out of my iPhone. So forgive the quality and lack of polish! Downtown Palm Springs shuts down its major street EVERY Thursday night for a street fair. This performer was raking in the cash all night. He played flawlessly for hours while his wife sold CDs. Our friends bought a couple of those, and we bought a metal art piece. We ate Thai food and dates rolled in coconut flakes. The Riviera Resort has a funky-mod decor, so we stopped there to look at the design. Here's my video of the lobby and bar. After shopping in the lobby boutique, where I bought the cutest gym bag (I seriously needed a new gym bag) from PanAm brands, we went out to the pool bar to have a refreshment. There was a small press conference going on and it was Connie Stevens unveiling a photo of herself in a bikini, circa 1955, to decorate the Bikini Bar. At the Fine Arts show we saw Cheech Marin. He's an artist now. Seems like everything I liked was over $15,000, so I went away from the show empty-handed except for a bag of brochures and a cup of tea, LOL. Lastly, I took this from the car on the way home. Warning! Way too long - lots of windmills! Windmill Farms in the Desert. I kinda like this spur-of-the-moment video taking! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yup, that was a lot of windmills. To quote Dave, we get the idea. ;). I remember seeing them once driving from Yosemite to SF and just thinking they were very cool. The ones you don't like kind of remind me of the Eiffel Tower. Love the hotel lobby. It's fun to see how it really look vs their web site. The web site doesn't show tourists in t-shirts hanging out. What a nifty place. What was the first song that the street musician played? I know it but can't place it. He's good! I bet Connie Stevens doesn't wear a bikini anymore.Neither do I. What a fun trip. Thanks for sharing. You have a nice voice and Dave is a wise guy! |
Awwww I want to meet Cheech Marin. I want to thank him for the hours of peace in my car with toddlers while his album 'My name is Cheech, the school bus driver' looped endlessly in the cassette player. |
He's playing Classical Jazz. My video doesn't do the hotel justice. It's very nice. The crowd at the pool was very hip and very young. No way I'd be wearing a swimsuit with that crowd around! There were tourists in tees, but for modernism week there were also people walking around in costumey retro looks for fun and to get into the spirit of mid-century mod. Cheech seemed approachable but I can't bring myself to do that to celebs. I couldn't even ask Dale Chihuly for a picture a couple years back in Seattle. And I used to live in West Hollywood and practically rub elbows with lots of celebrities. Even at the dentist. |
Glam lobby! The musician is wonderful. We have windmills here, too. They began sprouting along the rolling hills of the Altamont Pass many years ago. While I loved the bare hills - they are gorgeous and a bit of scenery I always appreciated on the way to San Francisco - the addition of the windmills added a bit of whimsy in my mind. I don't mind them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altamont_Pass_Wind_Farm |
Here is a link that might be useful: Altamont Pass windmills.
Fun Gina! Mom and I did go to the Date Festival and the street fair last year. The only down side was that it was a very short trip and the weather was cold and rainy when I was there!! I know it wasn't the norm, but still made for a cold day at the Festival. I loved the street fair. The other fun one is every weekend flea market/craft show at the College of the Desert. Really enjoyed that too. We're actually going to Palm Springs again in April. We'll be there the 10th-17th I think. Not sure what events might be happening that week, but mostly going to relax by the pool anyway! Hope the weather is better than last year! :) Thank for posting and getting me all pumped up and ready to go. Deanna |
Classical Gas, not Classical Jazz! April should be very nice Deanna. DH and I are going to go more often - we've been going other places but forget how close and fun PS is. Since it's a tourist destination, there is a lot of nice shopping and tons of restaurants. We did happy hour dinners twice. At Roy's we ate off the happy hour menu and shared a bunch of small plates, like tapas. And at Mama Gina's ( heh! ) in Palm Desert, they split the restaurant into two sections - one section exclusively for "Happy Hour" which is all the time. Again, we were able to order lots of dishes to share, tapas style. |
Palm Springs is so many things, classy and kitch all at once...looks like a wonderful time....here's to the tapas bars!! Linda c |
Dang, that reminds me, I never did find a "date shake" when I was in California. Next time.... The guitarist was very good and I couldn't help but think that a white couch in a hotel lobby probably isn't a good idea, but it's lovely. I even remember Connie Stevens! Here wind farms are also springing up, some company wants to even put them out into The Lake. I believe in alternative energy and think we should use every renewable resource the best we can, but I draw the line at putting windmills IN The Lake, sheesh. A friend of mine has several right across the road from his house and says they make a strange "vibration", it took a while to get used to it. Annie |
My sister is thinking of selling her condo in El Segundo and is looking for a place in the Palm Springs area. I may have to break down and visit her....looks like a fun place. |
I was mistaken, Cheech is not an artist, he is a patron of the arts, especially Chicano artists, and he was being honored as patron of the year. I finally got to look through the tons of magazines and brochures I picked up and read that. Katie, it's a great place to have a vacation home, but it is in the desert and gets very hot in summer. She's going to suffer many 100-plus degree days out there. People do it, just like they live in Phoenix and Tucson, but how in the heck I do not know. I would take Florida or Sedona or San Diego or lots of other mild-weather places instead. But hey I'm a lightweight - I can't handle extreme temperatures! |
Gina, she says she can deal with the heat, and I have not discouraged her. Her last retirement plan was to have DH build her a house in our pasture. Ummm...no. I think that's why he turned it into garden, lol. (btw, thanks for Weston Price Fnd. link...very interesting. Great book list.) |
Well, lots of folks live in the desert and manage. PS is a nice place to retire - lots of outdoor activities, swimming pools, hospitals and services and of course, other retirees! I saw Gerald and Betty Ford's house for sale in one of the PS magazines I went through. |
What a great time you must have had. I've never been to PS but would love too. Also want to spend more time in Southern California. Think that is what we may do on our next winter road trip. Clive really wants to spend a bunch more time in San Diego. |
San Diego County is one of the best places to live on Earth! I love many parts of it. There are so many beautiful places all over California. |

Greyhound Terminal |
Greyhound Terminal Photos ADSW Events Preservation Sites Perspectives Membership Resources Contacts |
This building, a blend of vintage and new, is the successful outcome of a lengthy battle waged by the Art Deco Society of Washington and others to save an historic Art Deco design that had been hidden away and forgotten. The original bus terminal epitomized the era's streamlined Moderne style, evoking the efficiency and adventure of travel. It was "modernized" in 1976 by being encased in a cheap covering of indifferent design and then closed in 1987. Preservationists first had to pioneer the concept of landmarking a structure that could not actually be seen and then insist on new construction that would adapt its distinctive features to a new commercial use. The first 42 feet of the former Greyhound Terminal remain meticulously restored and serve the "1100 New York Avenue" office building as lobby and storefronts. Inside is an information desk adapted from the ticket booth and an explanatory display open on weekdays. This painting, Deco Reborn by Richard Striner, shows the restored Greyhound terminal in front of the new, attached office tower. ADSW offers a poster of the painting. See our photo gallery for more Greyhound Terminal photos. Current Name and Location1100 New York Avenue incorporating the former
Greyhound Terminal The former Greyhound Terminal is a few blocks from the Metro Center subway station. Parking is available at the garage on 12th Street for about $5.

Hello. I startet a tree in juli 27, 2011. I havent been around for a while, and now its al gone...?
I started a new one today to see if I could recover, but cant seem to find it any where.
Please help.
Thank you
Hi. I am finding many many relatives in West Virginia that are 1st cousins and they are married. Sometimes it is crazy trying to figure out exactly how they are related. Is there an easy was in the program to figure it out for me?
Click Edit on person's card. Go to Relation and click Relation to. Fill in name and click Select at bottom.
There is also a function on-line, but that only does up to 2nd cousins and 20 generations.
PS--The attachments may not have come through, so I am sending again.
PS--I sent this twice and the attachments did not show up on the Forum. I hope just the directions suffice.
I have been using the program almost seamlessly until now, but I seem to have run into a problem.
I have four generations I'm working on. They are all directly related to me, far, far back. What happens is I'm trying to link two existing persons together as married, and then link an existing person as their child. It's linking them like I ask, but I keep ending up with the mother being "related through 40 steps" instead of "directly related" like she should be. Somehow it ends up being "wife of, and then father of, mother of, etc."
Like this:
Gudrød is a direct ancestor x37 his son Olaf is a direct ancestor x39 but Gudrød's wife and Olaf's mother Alfhild, is marked as "related to me through 38 steps", where she is listed as Gudrøds wife, but not Olaf's mother! (I think that's the problem.)
I've tried to detatch and reattach several times and different ways, but it keeps happening... Alfhild's father (Alfarinn) is also listed as related to me through 39 steps, (where it should be directly related, and not through Alfhild's marriage, sinc he's Olaf's grandfather) while his father, Gandalf, is directly related x40, because one of his other children (Álfhildr) is also a direct ancestor to me..
Any clues as to what I can do to fix this? As long as I keep Alfhild and Gudrød separate, and only has Alfhild as Olaf's parent, it works like it should, but adding one more parent removes Alfhild as the mother and only puts her as Gudrød's wife. She still appears in the family tree as Olaf's mother, but not in the "relation to me"-tool...
Am having trouble with entering notes for one particular person, but the same notes are going to everyone with the same surname.
Can any one explain why this is happening.
I just recently installed Family Tree Builder and I am having issues getting the software to run properly. The first problem is that every single time I run the software I get a message that says "This is the first tim eyou are running Family Tree Builder as the administrative user: Cheryl." Uh, no, I've run it as that user every single time I've run the software. Also, I only have one user, so I'm not sure why I keep getting this warning message and how to make it go away.
Second issue is that I cannot seem to get it to sync. I am trying again for the third time to sync. It goes to the page and says I am on Step 1 of 4 at 96% but it never goes past that point. It just hangs there.
Third issue is that when I try to run a Tree Consistency Checker it seems to run through the process and then it pulls up a page that says "This program cannot display the website." I am connected to the internet and I know that is not the issue, so I am not sure where the problem lies.
I'd like to try using this software to manage my tree, but I can't seem to get it to do anything useful. I have attached a PDF with screenshots of the messages I am getting.
What do you mean be deleted - but still visible online?
Have you just deleted the connection between husband and wife, but not actually deleted the records?
Have you deleted a person or people from FTB but not from the online site?
I have a tree that was built in a version 6 of Family Tree Builder (FTB) and has been extensively maintained since upgrading.
It sucessfully does a partial sync (more than 250 people in FTB) to an online tree.
A little while ago I added a new repository with a repository note. When I tried to sync, the sync failed with an unknown server error. (I think it was SQLServer error 16)
I ended up deleting the online tree and restoring to a project backup. However, rolling forward was painful.
This begs a couple of questions:
Is it possible to somehow add old house number which is not already in the map? I don't want to use whone name of city, today's street and number. I would like to use just "City, no. 5". But with this, FTB is not able to locate it in the map.
Also thre is a problem with suggestions. If I put a city name, it sometimes suggest two same alternatives in case this city is twice in one country. It would be better with some other attribute.
Using FTB:
to make it simpler for the MH mapping system I put only the main details in the 'place' box.
for example, for a death; Bendigo, Victoria, Australia (Always use the State and Country).
And that gets a white check-mark in a green circle, the system has recognised the address.
And then in the Description box I put, in this case, Bendigo Hospital; that doesn't affect the MH place recording.
BTW if you (double?) click in the little box at the end of the place box (where that check mark can appear) it brings up a menu where you can make selections.
Also if there two places in the one state with the same name ('state' will perhaps differentiate between most places of the same name) you could put something in the description box such as 'near...' (the nearest notable town).
I have downloaded Family Tree Builder but cannot get the software to install. I have a PC and haven't had this problem with other software that I've downloaded. Please help because I'm getting VERY frustrated!
I get it installed cant open ged I was in it this morning I have no idea what happen I uninstalled and reinstalled and same problem
Dear Robbie,
Thank you for writing on our Forum.
Please, check if your antivirus software isn't blocking the installation.
Turn it off momentarily, complete the installation process, and then turn it on again.
I hope it helps!
Best regards,
I have version 188.8.131.5229 in one PC, but I can not update that latest version 126.96.36.19938, whereby I have database updated with other PC.
Pentti Paananen
Hello Pentti,
Click on the link below and download the new version from the site:
Thanks Felipe!
When you sync the family tree bulider with the online site, and there are conflicts, which has priority.
It seems that if you edit online, that your changes are lost - replaced by the family tree builder. Is this the case?
Syncing seems to cause a lot of problems - is anyone else having problems syncing?
Dear Stephen,
The priority is the website tree. The reason is very simple: if you have family members working on the family tree, they are only able to edit the tree online. If Family Tree Builder (FTB) would be considered the priority on the syncing, it would always override the changes and additions that the site members added to the family tree online.
I hope I could make it clear.
Have a great day!
Thanks Felipe,
This does leave the possibility of undoing important changes - e.g. spelling inconsistencies.
It is easy to use the "Check Consistency" tool to correct spelling inconsistencies in the FTB. However, if the online site is given precidence, then won't these changes always be undone when syncing.
Wouldn't a better approach be to use date & time stamps. The youngest correction being the one that is kept.
It would also be nice if the software recorded the name (or username) of the person making the change. e.g. A "Last updated" field. Last updated: Stephen 09-01-15-16:55

Hi all,
My new Dwarf Singapore Pink arrived (a replacement for a graft that didn't take) and it has orange rust on the undersides of the leaves. I washed it down with a tiny bit of dish soap instead of using Neem which I use on my citrus trees. Is that a decent approach? Thanks!

If you have rust it's best to just remove the affected leaves and throw them in the trash. ~Jen |
- Posted by loveplants2 8b Virginia Beach, (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 12 at 21:30
Hey Liz, I agree with Jen... I would also keep it away from your other plants and if you can give as much sunlight without scorching the tree, that will be helpful. We have had some really high temps here lately, but i feel your tree will bounce back with the natural sunlight and by keeping it on a wet /dry cycle. Make sure you acclimate your tree into the full sunlight... My trees have had the Orange Rust before. I used Earth-tone 3n1 Disease Control spray by Espoma Kills Mites. Mildew, Rust and Black Spot. Mine comes in a pink spray bottle. (Cloudy day only!!!) This usually happens to my trees in the fall if it does happen. Your tree will be fine tho. : ) Glad to hear that you have your replacement!! Take care, Laura |
Thanks! But yikes! That's pretty much all the leaves. I cut the ones with the major rust off. Can I leave the leaves with just a couple of spots? I have it outside on my protected balcony where temps are usually 10 degrees higher than outside. Kinda rough when deciding what coat to wear...I usually end up choosing something too light. Also, I only have one other plumie and that's the graft bottom of the one that didn't take. It's inside far away from the rusted one. Will the rust infect my figs and citruses? Plant space on my balcony is at a premium. Also, I have copper I use on my figs. Will that work? Laura, I'll be down in Yorktown in a few weeks for my cousin's vow renewal--they had to elope b/c her husband of 20 years had to deploy. You're lucky to live in such a beautiful area! Best! |
