Review this Gig
Friday 23rd May 2008
It had been just three short months since Stackridge had played the 100 Club but, despite the short passage of time, allied with it being the start of a Bank Holiday weekend and having to compete against several big-name attractions such as Paul Weller, a goodly crowd of die hards and those seeking a refreshingly new musical experience all turned up at the famous Oxford Street venue.
The band arrived onstage just after nine . The two ladies in the band looked classy, the six chaps looked well, like Stackridge, really. James observed they had the set list for another band and suggested Keep On Running was the first number. For some odd reason, they only had Codge's set list between them but, as usual, Mr Marsden's list was a thing of colour and beauty.
Dora kicked matters off in typically rambunctious style, with The Last Plimsoll following on. Mutter and James observed that there was feedback between this and the ensuing Grooving Along… but the brief sounds were more like 'squeakback' and presumably an attempt by the equipment to emulate Sarah's whistle-blowing at the cessation of Plimsoll. Rachel's violin was especially sublime during this song.
Mutter informed the audience they'd had it "too good for too long", so he was gonna sing one now. Thus, The Volunteer, replete with lusty 'bantam appreciation' from a certain member of the band and a very enthusiastic "no, he don't, no he don't" riposte from the fans. Wonderful guitar from Mr Davis during this number.
The Tommey beat fest, Anyone For Tennis preceded Happy Birthday, Dave Fisher from the band. The man had turned 50 on Monday and his sister Maggi had passed me a slip, asking if Mutter would kindly mention this on stage. Mr Slater did but I bet Dave didn't expect such a musical tribute as well. It was Syracuse The Elephant that came along now, a song chosen for Dave's dedication as he has had a life-long love of pachyderms.
It was then the moment for James' "friend with a beard" to speak and so Crun told the true story of how he didn't have any lubricant whilst fitting pipes one day, so ended up using salad cream! Dangerous Bacon and Friendliness came along, with Mutter observing of the latter, "that was pretty". Yep. Pretty damn brilliant.
Time now to be Happy In The Lord before James turned to Crun and asked him why he wrote so many words to A Wonderful Day; Mutter pointing out how it was Maestros that rather weirdly floated Mr Walter's boat. Then came God Speed The Plough. Sublime art needs nothing more to be added to it – it exists alone, entire, absolute and perfect. Plough is one such example.
Fundamentally Yours had made it into the first half but Mutter went into his pre-Dancing On Air spiel, with James jumping in and correcting him, Andy again produced some astonishing guitar work during this song, before Mutter's "take it away. Please take it away" lead to his intro, now in its correct setting, for the aforementioned Dancing On Air. The set closed out with Fish In A Glass setting everything up perfectly for the second session.
And, without introduction of any kind, it was straight into Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime. The Steam Radio Song was especially popular and Lummy Days led to The Road To Venezuela, before which Wee Jim informed the audience that it was "Rachel's birthday tomorrow". (True). He then claimed she'd be about 12 (Untrue – but she's not much older). A prodigious talent and a lovely girl. Venezuela was one of those rare renditions, with Andy singing the 'whore' alternative line.
The Stackridge Glastonbury Anthem, Teatime followed and at one point Mutter's flute sounded like some lunatic bird, chirping. Beautiful, stunning stuff. The entire band were seamlessly in their collective stride, with Codge supplying power and subtlety, whenever each was required and Glenn in his normal role of The Man Who Does 35 Things At Once.
Speaking of GT, it was his lovely fat trombone riffs that so enhanced Save A Red Face. Mutter introduced this as being from "Mr Mick – a concept album that was misconceived. The highlight is probably the end, the very end – unless Andrew makes a mistake". No true, of course and Mutter's ad-libbed "George Chisholm lives!" comment during one of Glenn's parts brought appreciative laughter from many, including no less a personage than the two-time Manager, Mike Tobin.
Andy was in loquacious mood and announced there was a "real Yattonian in the audience". Cue Purple Spaceships Over Yatton. The observations (of Eloi or anybody else) regarding Plough equally apply here and to Andy's Can Inspiration Save The Nation?
We were duly informed that Stackridge did know Something About The Beatles before James shouted "segue, segue" (unless it was an obscure reference to Segway – the preferred band method of self-travel perhaps) and off into Boots 'N' Shoes they went. Billie Jean intro and with some keyboard runs added by Glenn, some more 'on fire' Davis guitar and the debut of James on a 'solo' verse.
The Galloping Gaucho and Slark ended the second set proper, with the latter having another highlight, with Andy singing the 'creosote car' and 'Kebeeble to Kenn' wording for the first time since the band re-formed in 2007. Time was running short, so just the one encore of Do The Stanley.
Nobody went home complaining. As ever, all were anticipating further great gigs. A victory for common sense? You betcha. Funny that, as 'A Victory For Common Sense' just so happens to be the title of the forthcoming Stackridge CD, due towards the end of this year or early next. Keep your eyes and ears open and your wallets ready. It'll be money well spent...

Review this Gig
Blokes whittling wood. Road signs and other street furniture with black and white poles. Park keepers fearsomely patrolling their domains, wearing their beloved brown coats of office. Sandy Denny anonymously-vocalising that ever-present television advertisement, viz. "There are two men in my life/To one, I am a mother/To the other, I'm a wife/And I give them both the best/With natural Shredded Wheat". All things you never see or hear nowadays.
Neither do you see bands that enjoy making music so much that joie-de-vivre (and other pungent French scent) shoots out of every collective pore, engulfing the audience and taking them along on an intoxicating tide; an exhilarating ride as well. But soft! I prithee and plight my troth (you didn't know Billy Shakespeare was writing this, did you?) that Stackridge are verily one such grouping of folk.
Crashing straight into Dora The Female Explorer, the band ploughed confidently through The Last Plimsoll and Grooving Along The Highway Etc before the first of Mutter's lead vocals on The Volunteer. Codge joined in the singing on the last verse of this and Sarah (The Rude Girl) couldn't resist adding her vocal pipes to the last "cocks". Must have an obsession with breeding bantams, that one…
Anyone For Tennis again rightly served as a showcase for the wonderfully talented violin playing of Rachel. Glenn even managed to playfully tap James on his right leg at one stage. Debate about the nature of the next song's subject led to James introducing it as Syracuse The Marmoset. Codge carried out a 'cymbal test' during the middle of this song! A Rachel-less Dangerous Bacon and a Mutter-free Friendliness followed, with Sarah's superb bridging vocals and overall backing again a major contributory factor to the success of the song.
It was a former chapel and Mutter couldn't resist the opportunity to deliver Happy In The Lord from the pulpit behind. And very good he was, too. As he joked afterwards "it's so difficult lugging that around everywhere – I think we'll leave it here. James attempted a verbal segue into A Wonderful Day. We learned Mutter gleaned the title for God Speed The Plough from a hotel in Ludlow, whilst waiting for the others to rise and shine. They all shone on this piece.
The re-established Fundamentally Yours, followed by Dancing On Air (with Mutter's self-deprecating references to the 1976 Old Grey Whistle Test footage on the band performing same on 'Dildo' or 'MyFace') and Fish In A Glass closed out the first set.
The second set began with Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime and then came Steam Radio Song. The "Stackridge National Anthem" (M. Slater) Lummy Days came next, swiftly pursued by The Road To Venezuela, and Fascinating World. This latter song wasn't the newer syncopated version previously heard in 2008 but did feature new flute passages.
Save A Red Face, Purple Spaceships Over Yatton, Can Inspiration Save The Nation? and Something About The Beatles were next in line. Boots 'N' Shoes gets rockier and even better every time it's heard. The Gaucho galloped in traditional fashion and even Rach was seen singing the "la la la" section of Slark. And why not? This young lady's talent is boundless.
In a continuation of an earlier jocular reference, James began to play The Troggs' Wild Thing as the first encore and many of the band joined in. It was another of those nights when, despite a few sound problems, bonhomie and good-naturedness were to the fore, on and off stage. Do The Stanley finally concluded another great gig.

Review this Gig
Taking the stage at just gone 9.15, James asked "when was the last time you were in Crewe?" Mutter accurately riposted "today!" and the band were away into a rollicking version of Dora, The Female Explorer which made a perfect set opener.
Despite the slight sense of nervousness that seemed to emanate from the band in the first few minutes, it soon become abundantly clear that this was another gig where they need have no worries about the audience reaction. Codge tossed and spun a drumstick in the air at the end of the song. He dropped it, of course.
Last Plimsoll was second, before Miss Rachel Hall was introduced, having aged to 14 now and Grooving Along On The Highway, On A Monday Morning, Once ensued.
It is invidious to single out individuals, especially when each and every member is so vital a component of that wondrous thing that is Stackridge but mention must be made of Andy Davis. He seemed to grab this gig by the proverbial horns from the start and his double-handed holding of the mike during the singing of Plimsoll was straight out of the approved 'rock god' book.
Kudos too to David 'Son' Tommey, sound man extraordinaire, who mixed Andy's guitar well to the fore. A wonderful decision, as Andy was – to use the vernacular – 'on fire' all night and many of us couldn't recall a previous occasion when his guitar-playing had been quite so inspired.
Anyone For Tennis saw an athletic leap from the riser at the back of the stage that housed Sarah, Rach and Codge to the front from Glenn 'Dad' Tommey. He's an incredibly fit and spry man and his fitness totally belies his 74 years.
Syracuse The Elephant followed. Really warming to the audience, Mutter mentioned the fact that The 'Ridge were now 'flesh rippers' but, back in the day when they weren't, Dangerous Bacon was written. For those who like to keep notes, Rach, Sarah and James are vegetarians. See all the extra snippets you get in a review like this?
James wasn't to be denied, suggesting that the next song should be entitled Dangerous Friendliness. It was the harmony-fest (and harmony-feast) that is Friendliness. Happy In The Lord and Wonderful Day, with a much-shortened Crun spoken word intro, before the superb piece that is God Speed The Plough and then Dancing On Air, which had the "sailing on air" and whistled ending. Fish In A Glass closed off the first set.
Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime opened the second half. How heartening it was to see that about 95% of the audience knew all the words to each song, including the Weekend material. Lummy Days and then Steam Radio Song arrived, with Codge enthusiastically conducting the crowd clapping by tapping his sticks together above his head. After travelling to Venezuela, James again claimed the tempo of Teatime was "too fast" so it began again. Then came Fascinating World, in all its retooled splendour, with the faster, syncopated rhythm and Mutter flute solo.
Save A Red Face has been incorporated so well it seems as if it has been part of the set for eons. Glenn's big fat brassy punctuation works a treat and his 'dancing' – along with that of Rachel and Sarah – didn't go unnoticed. Maybe his GP said such exercise would be beneficial for those joints…
Does anything have to be written about Purple Spaceships Over Yatton? It was the first time reverb on flute had been featured since Pete Donovan's days. Can Inspiration Save The Nation? was the question posited. The answer was a resounding 'yes'.
Temporary confusion reigned when James decided to do Something About The Beatles, rather than the next number on the set lists but flexibility is good. Boots 'N' Shoes started but they realised they hadn't begun with the first few bars of Billie Jean, as per quirky tradition, so it began again with its 'proper' intro reinstated.
The glorious thing about this concert was how much fun everyone was evidently having on stage. Andy 'Codge' Marsden (drums) was an understated powerhouse; James 'Crun' Walter (bass) was playing bass in that often underrated way of his; Glenn Tommey (keyboards/trombone/vocals) was harmonising, playing and doing a million other things; James Warren (rhythm and occasional lead guitar/lead vocals) was giving it everything – and doing it supremely well, as always; Mutter Slate (flute/castanets/lead vocals) was covering every inch of the stage front and singing and blowing up a storm; Andy Davis (lead guitar/keyboards/lead vocals) was astonishing, completely astonishing (even to we grizzled and veteran Stacko-watchers).
Rachel Hall (lead violin) was simply awesome. So much talent in a woman of such tender years. It's frightening to think how good she'll be when she hits puberty. (Sorry – 'JW' style joke there. The humour is infectious). As for Sarah Mitchell (second violin/harmony vocals/whistle), they say the human body is comprised of 98% liquid. Not SM. She's made up of Voice, Lungs, Smile, Bounce and Talent.
How infectious is the band? Well, there was a bloke on crutches who proceeded to wave them in the air throughout the gig, with joyous disregard for his heath or ability to even stand up. Never mind "walking upon the water" as in Fascinating World – this band can bring injured people back to full health, rather like Lazarus arising from the dead!
The Galloping Gaucho galloped, roared along by the crowd and Slark did his worst but this gig was a huge celebratory event from start to finish. The single encore was Do The Stanley. Many did and the band took their merited curtain calls and it was all over.

Dresden's 'Cool Silicon' project preps phase 2
5 comments
LONDON The Dresden Cool Silicon project, backed by state and federal government funding and launched in 2009, is preparing to enter its second phase.
Although the project is outlined to last five years and has a budget of 135 million euro (about $180 million) it has to be evaluated in a positive light to allowed to continue drawing down money, according to Professor Thomas Mikolajick, the Cool Silicon cluster co-ordinator.
The aim of the project remains to reduce the energy consumption of ICs and information technology while stimulating the development of technology and the creation of jobs in the Dresden region. Companies already established in the region, such as GlobalFoundries AG and Plastic Logic Ltd. are participating in individual projects.
In the area of micro- and nanotechnologies research projects are looking at the effects of variability and how to mitigate them. Work with GlobalFoundries and the Advanced Mask Technology Center GmbH & Co. KG are looking to ways to reduce the variations in photomasks.
There are also projects to create a high-voltage technology, a 700-V process in a 0.35-micron process with X-Fab and work on improving in-fab logistics which can improve productivity by up to 16 percent, Professor Mikolajick said.

You know, I have a thing for underdog products. Have you ever seen this device in the market? The Toshiba FF1 projector has been doing its rounds for almost 2 years now and hasn't really been promoted much in the Philippines. So it really caught my eye when I dropped by Tricom Dynamics along Gil Puyat about 3 months ago and asked their marketing manager if I could take a look at this product.
The Toshiba FF1 ultralight projector does not use a regular replaceable bulb. Instead, it uses LED light projection technology. Several implications to this – the bulb can't be replaced and it doesn't fully light up a room for presentations. But these two things it sacrifices for ultra portability as you can see from the image (it is lighter than my laptop) and it also comes with a 2 hour battery pack. Yeah, you can use these things without a plug. I was able to attach this to the Nintendo Wii, to my laptop (to watch Gossip Girl, hee!) and project to the portable screen that it comes with. The screen (photo above) is a neat addition in cases where you really can't find a wall to project to.
Because it doesn't release a lot of heat, the FF1 is relatively silent as well and turns on almost instantly. Not bad for 2006 technology.
Interested in ordering one? Well you won't find them in stores anymore so you will have to go through the warehouse. The address of the warehouse and pricing is as follows:

Unbelievable! How the kids right now are so rude and without home education?!
Earlier today, on the way to the office, I went to the road cross to cab a taxi as usual. Suddenly I saw a taxi is going to stop since the passenger is going to settle the bill. I went up to the taxi and wait for the lady passenger's getting out.
At that time, a young boy, which is around max. 25 years old, ran up to the taxi in one second. Upon his opening the front door, he catched my arm and draged me out of the taxi!
Damn, I've never seen such a rude man! If it is not a working day, I am sure I will call the police to settle the issue. However, I don't wanna be late of the work. The only thing I can do now is just to blame the son of bitch here in front of my computer!
Anyhow, shit happens! Really miss the beautiful Yunnan in my memory!

The Internet has quickly become an ideal place for cost-conscious shoppers to find the best auto loans. In response, many lenders have started auto loan affiliate programs to expand their sales force, increase their online visibility and generate more sales. If you are looking for an affiliate opportunity that offers enormous potential for success and ample room to grow, consider making auto loan affiliate programs a prime part of your online marketing strategy.
Auto Loan Affiliate Programs for Beginners
Before you get started in this growing market, you should start by learning everything you can about your possible options. There are many different auto loan affiliate programs to choose from, so it pays to carefully research each alternative and decide which boasts the greatest benefits.
How exactly to auto loan affiliate programs work? The programs provide valuable service for consumer interested in buying a car. By promoting these offers on your website, attracting customers, and inspiring them to sign up for your affiliate offers, you can earn excellent commissions on the sales you generate. However, getting results takes more than just adding affiliate links to your website. You need to understand your customers and develop a strong promotional strategy that appeals to the needs of your audience.
Focus on Convenience
Convenience is one of the biggest reasons why consumers turn to the Web to shop for auto loans. Instead of dealing with the hassle of contacting multiple agents and comparing prices, shoppers can quickly and easily compare different offers to find the loan that is right for their needs. Use this trend to your advantage by choosing auto loan affiliate programs that provide convenience and ease-of-use.
Trust and Reputation are Essential
The overall reputation of the auto loan affiliate programs you choose can have a major impact on your sales success. Choosing an auto loan is a fairly big decision for many people, so they need to feel that they can trust their lender. In order to build credibility, you should choose auto loan affiliate programs that have a great reputation for quality.
Genuine Advice Inspires Sales
The best way to draw customers to your website and your affiliate offers is to provide information and advice that will help them make a decision. However, simply extolling the virtues of your chosen auto loan offers is not the best way to motivate consumers to buy. People are not looking for canned sales pitches—they want genuine advice that provides unique insight.
So what type of consumer advice should your provide? Focus on providing a realistic, practical look at auto loans. Create articles that answer common questions and provide direction to help shoppers choose the right loan for their needs. Another great way to draw in potential customers is to include auto loan tools, such as financial calculators, to help them determine what type of loan they will need.
Auto loan affiliate programs can be a rewarding and profitable option for online marketers. By understanding the industry and providing top-notch content, you can establish a website that will become a prime destination for people looking for auto loan information.

Jurors followed the footsteps of crime scene investigators Tuesday, reviewing photos that showed the overgrown lot where Patricia Burley was found dead in 2010.
The graphic images were included in the second day of Corey Smith's trial in Richmond County Superior Court as prosecutors presented evidence to support murder charges against the 30-year-old homeless man. Tuesday's testimony visually portrayed Burley's final hours and outlined how Smith came to be a suspect.
The victim, a 54-year-old woman with Down syndrome, disappeared that Aug. 22 from her Wrightsboro Road home, within sight of the United House of Prayer.
Sheriff's Investigator Phillip Snead said Tuesday that several witnesses identified Smith as the last person seen with Burley the Sunday night she went missing.
Worry about Burley became fear by that Tuesday as deputies and volunteers searched a 3-square-mile area and distributed 3,000 missing-person fliers.
Snead found Smith and took him to the sheriff's office for questioning. In that conversation, recorded and played for jurors Tuesday, Smith gave vague answers about his whereabouts for the previous two days and denied knowing Burley. Snead told him that many witnesses identified him from his tattoos, height, build, mustache, skin color and clothes.
"They described you from your head to your shoes," Snead said. Smith adamantly denied doing anything.
"I didn't say you did anything," Snead replied in the recording.
Smith was arrested later that day on a charge of simple assault after he reportedly threatened to "stomp on the head and slap the face" of another investigator.
The next day, Burley's body was found about 11 p.m. in the overgrown lot at the dead end of Hall Street, near Twiggs Street and Laney-Walker Boulevard.
A video taken by Crime Scene Investigator Steve Fanning showed police walking by flashlight through bushes tall enough to brush their shoulders. Burley was found face down on a dirty, white couch, her hands bound across her lower back. Decomposition was advanced after a few days in the August heat. Her face was veiled with insects.
As investigators pulled back the bedclothes covering the body they noticed bonds around her arms, legs and wrists. The initials "CMB" were carved in the left buttock after her death.
None of the jurors flinched as Assistant District Attorney Natalie Paine placed the images on an overhead screen. Smith rocked gently in his seat and only glanced at the pictures.
The trial continues today, and deliberations are expected to start Thursday.

text: Pretoria - Resources for building houses are limited and government can't be pushed with service delivery protests, Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane said in Pretoria on Thursday."We can't be pushed on the basis of service delivery protests because of people who want to jump the queue. Development will first take place in areas where people came first," she told the National Press Club.Mokonyane said she was not surprised by threats made by communities to intensify their protests during the Soccer World Cup."No one will choose a dull moment for a protest. People will definitely take leverage to accelerate their protests during such time. We've decided not be scared, but rather engage people to avoid drama."Hurting themselvesSouth Africa being a constitutional democracy did not mean disgruntled citizens could do what they want, she said, warning protesters against infringing other people's rights."What they destroy belongs to their communities. This kind of behaviour results in government having to spend repeatedly the sparse resources on the same projects or facilities."Areas such as Orange Farm, Soshanguve, Atteridgeville, Mamelodi and Hebron had seen protests recently.She said some of these actions, camouflaged as service delivery protests, may be caused by people who lost out on government tenders."Somebody didn't get a tender to dig a trench. Somebody didn't have a tender to put up posters. They go out and mobilise and all we hear is that it's service delivery protests," she said."The blatant disregard of law will not be tolerated and those who are hell-bent on causing havoc will be dealt with harshly."Genuine grievancesShe was "hurt" by the fact so many young children appeared to be involved in these demonstrations when they were supposed to be at school. They should rather get an education to become self-sufficient and not dependant on the government."Only in South Africa will you find people closing the national roads and it is not seen as sabotage," said Mokanyane, adding that this instability had a negative effect on the economy.She appealed for restraint and respect of the law during protests, saying only genuine grievances would be attended to.Referring to the Thembelihle informal settlement, south of Johannesburg, where residents damaged electricity supply boxes during a protest last week, Mokonyane said they could protest as much as they wanted, but the government would not develop the area."There will be no development in that area... we've told people time and again to move but they refused, same as Itireleng."Health hazardItireleng residents, west of Pretoria, where about 800 people built shacks on private land in the hope of being built houses, recently lost a court bid to remain there.They have vowed to challenge the ruling."Itireleng is a health hazard... there was even a problem of contamination of water."She said the government had to take unpopular decisions at times, but in the end people would understand.

A better way to carjack
One of the biggest drags of GTA-like games is that they require you to pull over or jump from a burning car that's in poor health before upgrading. You then lumber the streets on foot, looking for a new ride. Once you find a desired vehicle, you extract the driver by force, jump in, and carry on. As impatient as it sounds, the whole process can take upwards of 30-60 seconds each time. What a nuisance.
In Wheelman, I can carjack as many 10 cars in under a minute when traffic is heavy, without ever stepping foot on the pavement. Thanks to a super move dubbed the "AirJack," a playable Vin Diesel can tail a car, and when in range, leap from his vehicle (like Tom Cruise did from that helicopter in Mission: Impossible), land on the hood of the target car, then drop-kick the driver from the moving vehicle. That's more like it.
"This maintains the speed and intensity of the chases," says Thompson, "and it's something you'll miss when you play similar games without the AirJack mechanic." Having played a few carjacking games since, I concur. With exception to the cut-scenes, there's rarely a lull in the action.
Bullet time is your friend
As the game progresses, a third—but no less enjoyable—power-up is added to your arsenal. Provided you weave traffic at top speeds, the game will reward your good driving by filling what's called a "Focus Meter." Once full, you can trigger a bullet-time mode for shooting your enemies with steady accuracy.
For example, if a throng of abnormally hostile gunman is at your rear, you can enter the "Aimed Shots" mode with the click of a button. Once engaged, the game will autopilot your car into a 180-degree spin. From there, you have about five seconds to take out as many vehicles as you can, even through your rear windshield. Three shots to an engine, and the car's a goner. Headshot a villain? Done. Want to show mercy and merely take out a tire during the sequence? How nice of you.
Once time is up, the autopilot seamlessly returns you to your previous spot and returns control. This effect can be performed in any direction, and it adds an incredible layer of depth to the already empowered driving—if your focus meter allows, of course. Thompson calls Aimed Shots a "cyclone super move." I call them awesome, because let's face it: seeing multiple cars explode 25 feet in the air as a result of your fine marksmanship never gets old.
It's so cinematic, in fact, that Midway has made good on its promise to give players the feeling of staring in a blockbuster driving movie. No lie. "The core mechanics are unlike anything seen before in an open world driving game," says Thompson. "It's something that redefines the role of the car in video games." I agree.
Gameplay over story
If you're looking for a sophisticated storyline or riveting dialog, you won't find it in Wheelman. You play as Vin Diesel, an expert driver for hire. He doesn't say much. He eventually crosses a Spanish mob boss. Soon he's in over his head, and you're fighting to keep him alive. Standard issue stuff.
But a Francis Ford Coppola drama was never the idea, Thompson says. "Comparisons to Grand Theft Auto and the slew of similar games are inevitable," he says. "But Wheelman is a very different game. We aren't concerned with simulating a living, breathing city. We are focused on over-the-top, cinematic, car chase action. That's our hook."
You had me at car ramming, Thompson. Really.
But even with the shallow setting, missions are quick-hit and straightforward. They progress nicely and underscore the rapid pace of the game. I always felt like my abilities were being constantly upgraded, but I never felt overwhelmed with the timing.
There are a few objections that could curb your enthusiasm when the game releases later this month. It can be tedious to isolate a desired location at times. But since Barcelona is so small, I never felt at a loss—no big deal.
Gamers with a heart of coal might also be saddened to learn that you cannot kill police or innocent bystanders by gunfire or sidewalk driving. A kill is only implied by blowing up a car. No dead bodies here. Furthermore, Thompson confirmed their will be no online play. Once you're done with the single-player campaign, that's it.
The Ubisoft Factor
Last month, the cash-strapped Midway announced that it had struck a deal with Ubisoft to publish and distribute the game, while Tigon and Newcastle would finish production. Midway president Matt Booty said at the time, "Ubisoft's decision to join Midway in a co-publishing agreement is a gratifying validation of Wheelman's potential."
Now I'm sure Ubisoft got a bargain, which was obviously part of the allure. But it's unlikely the company would back a game it didn't believe in, let alone one it couldn't make money on. Noting what I've already experienced, it's easy to see what made Ubisoft a believer.
Now Wheelman is not the entire package. The graphics are in shiny high-definition, but objects occasionally sprout up in the distance, and some of the textures look rougher than others. The game doesn't have the same level of polish or style as one would expect from Rockstar Games either. The music is average; the rag-doll physics are a bit overboard; and behavior of non-playable characters is laughable at times.
But what Wheelman lacks in fashion, it more than makes up for in gameplay. And it's one of few GTA clones (if not the only one), to introduce significant enhancements to the genre. I asked Thompson if this was intended, but he denied that this was the case. "We didn't set out to change the rules," he said. "But we did set out to create the ultimate car chase. And when we prototyped the vehicle combat system, we quickly realized we had found something special."
Provided you can get past Wheelman's cover, you might be able to discover that for yourself.
Wheelman is scheduled for release on March 24 for Xbox 360 (the version I previewed), PS3, and Windows PC. It is rated "Teen" and carries an MSRP of $60. A free demo is currently available for download from Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.

Thanks for looking Peter.
I am going to close this out as everything seems to be an issue with the HubSpot plugin.
I really appreciate the help.January 22, 2013 at 1:52 pm in reply to: How to Remove the Feedburner Redirect #104351
Thanks Dude!
The redirect seems to be gone now.
Now I am getting an error on my feed though that I need to fix to finish this up.
Here is the error:
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 37 at column 493: EntityRef: expecting ';'January 22, 2013 at 6:25 am in reply to: How to Remove the Feedburner Redirect #104349
Found where the redirect is at (in a plugin file).
Now I just need to figure out how to disable the redirect
Here is the code for the plugin file:
class WPHubspotSocial {
function WPHubspotSocial() {
// FeedBurner Integration Hooks
add_filter('feed_link', array(&$this, 'hs_feedburner_feed_link'), 1, 2);
} else {
add_action('template_redirect', array(&$this, 'hs_feed_redirect'));
// Replace RSS with Feedburner
function hs_feed_redirect() {
global $feed;
// Do nothing if not a feed
if (!is_feed()) {
// Do nothing if feedburner is the user-agent
if (preg_match('/feedburner/i', $_SERVER)){
if (preg_match('/googlebot/i', $_SERVER)){
if ($feed != 'comments-rss2' && trim($hs_settings) != ") {
if (function_exists('status_header')) status_header( 302 );
header("Location:" . trim($hs_settings));
header("HTTP/1.1 302 Temporary Redirect");
// Feedburner filter URL
function hs_feedburner_feed_link($output, $feed){
//preg_match("/rss2|atom|rdf/i", $feed)
if(trim($feed_url) != " && $feed!='comments-rss2′){
$feed_array = array('rss' => $feed_url, 'rss2' => $feed_url, 'atom' => $feed_url, 'rdf' => $feed_url, 'comments_rss2' => ");
$feed_array[$feed] = $feed_url;
$output = $feed_array[$feed];
return $output;
}January 22, 2013 at 4:59 am in reply to: How to Remove the Feedburner Redirect #104348
Thanks for the response Ismael, but I've already tried that.
The default feed continues to redirect to the feedburner feed URL.
Is there anywhere else in the theme where this redirect could be triggering (besides the .htaccess file where it is not in there)?July 27, 2012 at 9:39 pm in reply to: Removing elements from specific pages #84157
Thank you Ismael and Mya.
Finally got it working as needed.
I really appreciate the support!July 24, 2012 at 8:30 pm in reply to: Removing elements from specific pages #84155
Thanks Mya.
I have done this, but for some reason the elements I am commenting out or even completely removing still show up.July 24, 2012 at 4:49 pm in reply to: Removing elements from specific pages #84153
Thank you for the quick reply Ismael, but that either didn't work or I'm not doing something correctly.
When I try to even just comment out sections I don't want to show up the elements don't get removed from the page.
For example, I commented out the breadcrumb trail and they remained on the page.
Any advice?June 11, 2012 at 7:52 pm in reply to: Using different items (per page) where the search bar / social icons are #77039
I do actually.
Would this same reference apply if I only wanted to show the WooCommerce shop bar (top of the site) on specific pages as opposed to the whole website as it defaults to now?
If not, how / where would I accomplish that?June 9, 2012 at 3:10 pm in reply to: Using different items (per page) where the search bar / social icons are #77037
Thanks Dude!

For residents of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and, as of 2013, Maine, Market Basket is a magical wonderland of low-priced food and skyrocketing levels of character. But it's not just a grocery store, it's a lifestyle.
While known for high quality items that won't break the bank, it's not just food that everyone heads to The Basket for. It's the Passover supplies garnished with "Happy Easter: 2 for $5" signs, the circulars with as many spelling and grammatical errors as there are deals, and locals dressed in head-to-toe footsie pajamas in the middle of the afternoon. You don't just go to Mahket Bahsket to shop, you go to stare. If that weren't true, then why would someone create the endlessly entertaining People of Market Basket website? Whole Foods doesn't have a tumblr, it just has people in yoga pants paying too much money for quinoa.
But, as demonstrated by their thriving presence on Craigslist Missed Connections, Market Basket is a place to find companionship and lasting romance. Here are 10 of these glorious declarations of love that would do the Market Basket proud.
First up is this self-proclaimed "easy going" gentleman from Billerica, or as I call it, the "Paris of the North Shore." The real beauty in this post is the sheer lack of description. "20 Items or More???" I think that's an attempt at sexual innuendo. Get it? Because they met in the "20 Items or Less" line. The "More" is an unequivocal sex invite. And sheer "attrativeness" aside, this description could fit about one third of the population, since there's basically no physical description whatsoever. Doesn't every lovely lady think she has a great personality?
While Danvers is certainly chock-full of eye catchers, this lovely lady who lurks at the Basket around closing time caught the eye of bachelor number two at the checkout counter. Of course, her "very sexy body" had a little bit to do with it. But most importantly, he'll be able to pick you out of the crowd because you probably know the specific nationality of the checkout boy. Unless the checkout boy had a distinct Irish accent as he packed your Doritos, this is a bit suspicious.
Ahhhhh, Sunday afternoon in Haverhill. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and neighborhood dads carry a 30-rack of Bud Heavy into the house to watch the Pats game. Pure perfection. But next to Choice Fitness, one of those $10/month gyms where guys named Mike and Jason go to pump iron, this bro is loading up his Acura and making eyesex with the local gentlemen. I think it's pretty ballsy that the writer wants to pursue this fella, since he seems to be giving the look of love to every dude in the parking lot. Nice touch on the strawberries, though. Boy's gotta get his Vitamin C.
Down in the magical land of New Bedford, where unicorns roam freely, this twentysomething gent fell for a silver fox who was hanging around with a lady. I'd like to give him props for posting this just 45 minutes after the love connection took place. That shit is efficient. But the real gem in this situation is the last-minute grope. "On the way out I looked at you and you grabbed your crotch." Hey, the course of true love never did run smooth, so why should a last-ditch fondling come on at Market Basket?
Oh, Fitchburg. Your thriving levels of violent crime are so hard to resist. But that's not all that's so hard to resist. For this young man, the sight of a lady at the checkout line was so jarring that he just "stood there staring." Soon, she was gone. Farewell, sweet love. May your knight on a white horse wearing a hat and dark blue zip up hoodie find you somewhere else.
All true romances start out at the deli counter, BTW. And while these two lovebirds traded smiles as they shuffled down the aisles, they didn't speak. Luckily, the female paramour was wearing dark yoga pants, which as we all know, are like, instant sex.
Now this guy really knows how to put himself out there. A lady smiles at him amidst a sea of fruits and vegetables, and suddenly he's smitten. But the real magic is his willingness to step into the forbidden fruit, if you know what I mean. "Was just about to say something, but I thought I saw a wedding band." Hmmm. I'm gonna say the likelihood that she's trolling the Missed Connections are low on this one. But you keep strong; you "fit" young man with "longish blonde hair."
Okay, this Cape Cod courter is keeping it short and sweet. What I really like is his willingness to pull the family card. "You were with your son (I think)." Well, let's hope it's hers, because we all know it's not cool to go all Amber Alert in the checkout line at Market Basket.
Ohhhhh yeah. Now this has promise. Not only was this young man able to pin down her "sparkling" eyes and sassy taste in accessories, but this couple had an actual conversation. I mean, if you're illuminated by some guy's knowledge of asparagus in the produce aisle, that's pretty much a guarantee of a 6 month relationship. Unfortunately, due to the crispy weather in the produce department, this young lady felt the need to keep her pink and black mittens on, so we don't know if she was sporting a wedding ring. Damn frosty conditions inside the grocery store, ruining this guy's game.
Every great romance begins in Taunton. Especially ones that begin with a guy loading stuff into his truck in the grocery store parking lot. What I really like here is the first gentleman's already bringing out the "long day" statements. I'm just sayin', keep it free of that stuff for at least the first date. You do not want to scare off a possible suitor with the trials and tribulations of your day. Also, have these two met before? "I didn't recognize you at first" seems a little bit like these two souls have crossed paths. Maybe then can load the truck together one day, brought together by the sensual glory that is Market Basket in Taunton.

Help with HTML Code For a Signature
Hello, I'm an Admin on a different forum and I want to use an image as a Signature there, but I would like the image to have several places on it where members can click to go to certain parts of the forums. For example, if they click the left side of the Sig, it will redirect them to the Guidelines, if they click the center it will redirect them to another section and the right side of the Sig another section. Is it possible to have that using an HTML code maybe mixed with some CSS or something? If so, can someone help me with that or know of a link where they show you how to do it? Thanks ahead of time.

Tarzana And Sub Zero Refrigerator Repair
Professional Sub-Zero refrigerator repair
& services by factory
trained technicians.
Superb Quality Appliance Repair In TarzanaFinding good repair people for all the things that matter in your life is not always easy. Fortunately this is not the case of your appliances. Tarzana Appliance Repair has the most efficient staff with families of their own. They understand how many problems are caused by a malfunction and break down of a refrigerator or dishwasher. They hone their knowledge and education to match any item their customers buy. They are there to diagnose and repair anything you are having issues with. They come out even if it has not stopped working but is not working at its best.
Tarzana Appliance Repair can be reached easily with a number that is toll free to clients; (866)494-4119 is simple to remember and will not cost a thing for you to call. They have service technicians with call areas that include your address. They can be there in a jiffy and ready to get your life back on track without major financial loss to you. Their call fee is competitive with few companies able to match it. They can do this because the efficiency the job is done with means they have more time during the day to take care of other things like the soccer game or the dance lessons.
When the dryer stops drying clothes this is still the best choice for repair techs. They can either replace the element clean out the excess fluff that escaped the filter or replace the band that turns the drum. Few things beyond these ever break down. When it comes to the dishwasher this one is just as easy. The replacement of an element that heats the water unclogging a filter or just getting a small foreign object out of the spinner might be all that was necessary. The unit is back in business and you did not have to get your hands dirty.
The expertise these service technicians have is unsurpassed. They are even taught how to service a sub zero refrigerator. The time invested is a little taller but still well within their realm of knowledge. They can make it work right again just as well as other items. The clothes washer is another item that tends to give out after a few thousand wash cycles. The electronic components are easy to reach. The gentleman doing the work will have the problem solved before you are even able to finish loading the dishwasher.

Read what clients have to say about A&B Appliance:Reviewer: Ryan W - out of 5 stars
Great customer service and product knowledge. I went for a part to fix my oven. After explaining the symptoms, mechanic told me what the part I needed was. I thought I knew what the problem was after doing some testing and finding out what it would be on google. I was wrong. If they had not helped me, I would have spent way more time, money, and would have been very frustrated. Thanks A&B Appliance!

It won't be Gretzky's gang.
Still, the squad gunning for a third straight world championship gold will be guided by part of the Great One's crew.
With Wayne Gretzky opting out due to his mother's battle with lung cancer, Steve Tambellini has been handed the GM reins for Canada's entry at the tournament in Austria, April 30 to May 15.
Ken Holland will serve as Team Canada's assistant GM and national men's team head coach Marc Habscheid will serve as bench boss.
Although Gretzky has had the golden touch since becoming involved in a management capacity for Hockey Canada, Tambellini has played a signicficant role in that success.
The assistant GM for the Vancouver Canucks was part of the management group for the gold medal-winning Olympic team in 2002 and the victorious World Cup squad of 2004.
He was also GM of 2003's gold medal-winning world championship team. Plus, Tambellini pointed out, Gretzky is just a phone call away.
"No one has given more to Hockey Canada than what Wayne Gretzky has done over the past numerous years," Tambellini said yesterday.
"The fact he's not directly involved in this tournament does not limit Wayne's participation or opinions. He'll always be there. He'll be part of this process."
Through a statement, Gretzky said he wouldn't be able to provide all the effort needed and that's why he pulled out.
"I'm disappointed that I can't be involved with Team Canada at this year's world championship due to the personal situation surrounding my mother's illness," he said.
"Team Canada is in good hands going to Austria."
Should be on the ice, too.
Most years, it can be an uphill climb to entice players to go overseas after a long season. Due to the NHL lockout, there is a plethora of talent available for Habscheid to send over the boards.
"The World Cup roster was pretty good. It'd be nice to have that team," he said.
Still there is the potential players -- many of whom haven't been playing regularly all these months -- may turn down invitations.
"It's hard to say. We don't want to guess and we hope all our players will accept the invitation but we don't know," Habscheid said.
"We know guys love playing for their country and love playing for Canada and that's a huge draw."
Mario Lemieux has already said he won't play but Tambellini believes he'll cobble together a squad with the potential to three-peat.
"We have a fairly good idea of where we want to start. Anybody can look at the last two teams we've put together and get a pretty good idea," he said.
"We'll take a look, start talking to players immediately."
To help players prepare, especially those who didn't go to Europe this winter, there are plans to hold a training camp in Calgary and a couple of exhibition games.

Social Question
Does the prevalence of digital media (videos, photos, etc.) improve our natural memory or create an artificial memory?
Asked by Nimis (13127) June 4th, 2011 from iPhone
Parents nowadays seem to document every step of their children growing up. They are constantly bombarded with images of their personal history. From an early age, they've come to recognize their own image.
A four-year-old who grew up with this digital media instantly recognized an image of herself as a infant. Yet a five-year-old who grew up with less techie parents did not.
Are we merely using it to exercise our natural ability to remember? Or are we creating an artificial memory? Is there a difference between the two? If so, where do you draw that line?

Here is a summary of the story from Newsday's Web Site:
Long Island ATMs hit in scam, officials say
Originally published: January 10, 2012 10:53 AM By GARY DYMSKI
A Romanian citizen in the United States illegally faces 60 years in prison on bank-fraud charges for placing skimming devices on ATM machines at banks in Long Island, New York City and Westchester, federal officials said.
Secret Service agents arrested Laurentiu Iulian Bulat, 37, Friday in Manhattan, after he was seen on HSBC bank video surveillance installing skimming devices on two ATMs at a Manhattan branch.
Bulat is part of a fraud ring that stole $1.5 million from customer accounts by installing the high-tech skimming devices on more than 40 ATMs, officials said.
A spokeswoman for Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said she did not know how many Long Island banks had been hit by the fraud ring.
Bulat is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and faces a preliminary hearing on Feb. 6, officials said. He is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and one count of bank fraud.
In a news release, Bharara called skimmers "high-tech bank robbers. Instead of using a gun and a note, skimmers use fake card readers and hidden cameras to steal a customer's information to get to that customer's money and take it," Bharara said. "Often it happens completely undetected."

NYS law now gives residents another weapon in the fight against identity theft by allowing you to place a security freeze on your credit files. A security freeze prevents your credit information from being released without your consent.
With a "freeze," outside parties would be unable to view your credit files without your approval. Since banks and credit agencies usually do not issue new loans, credit, or mortgages without first viewing the applicant's credit history, the security freeze prevents an identity thief from using your name to obtain these services, even if they have your Social Security number.
To place a security freeze on your credit files, you must send a certified or overnight letter with your name, address, Social Security number, and date of birth to each of the three major credit bureaus at the addresses listed below.
Equifax Security Freeze
PO Box 105788,
Atlanta, Georgia, 30348
Experian Security Freeze
PO Box 9554,
Allen, Texas, 75013
Trans Union Security Freeze
PO Box 6790,
Fullerton, California, 92834-6790
You are entitled to receive a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months from each of the three nationwide consumer credit reporting companies (listed below). Consumers sometimes find out that they're victims of identity theft when they try to make a major purchase and discover unfavorable information in their credit reports.
Legitimate loans can be denied or delayed while the credit mess is straightened out. Knowing what's in your credit report allows you to fix problems before they jeopardize a major financial transaction.

If you become a victim, call 1-877-ID-THEFT to get a copy of the Federal Trade Commission's ID Theft Affidavit form. This affidavit will help you report information to many companies using just one standard form, simplifying the process.
It is also important to report the fraud to the following organizations:
1. Each of the three national credit bureaus (listed at left). Ask each agency to place a "fraud alert" on your credit report, and send you a copy of your credit file.
2. The fraud department at each creditor, bank, or utility/service that provided the identity thief with unauthorized credit, goods or services.
3. Your local police department. Ask the officer to take a report and give you a copy of the report. Sending a copy of your police report to financial institutions can speed up the process of absolving you of wrongful debts or removing inaccurate information from your credit reports. If you can't get a copy, at least get the number of the report.
4. The Federal Trade Commission, which maintains the Identity Theft Data Clearinghouse and provides information to identity theft victims. You can visit www.ftc.gov/idtheft or call toll-free 1-877-ID-THEFT (1-877-438-4338).

Brad Siler asked for prayer requests and Danny Johnson prayed followed by singing.
After Sunday school classes, Stan Humbyrd and Avery Hendricks received our Lord's tithes and offerings. LeaAnn and Erin Crum sang. Pastor Neal began by saying worship is not an event; it is a way of life. Our church has two callings, discipleship and evangelism—let that be what we do. He read from Hebrews 7, Melchizedek, King and Priest and Genesis 14. Following church, we had our monthly fellowship dinner. Backpack items were collected for Plainview School. At 5 p.m., we met for choir practice, which we had missed due to the weather.
At 6 p.m., Pastor Neal prayed followed by singing. The choir sang with Dawnya McFarland. Testimonies were given and Pastor Neal continued his study of Hebrews 7, Melchizedek, the Priest of the Most High God, King of Peace, King of Righteousness, the Lord Jesus Christ. Each Tuesday at 7 p.m. is special prayer time and each Wednesday is Bible study with Pastor Neal in the book of Exodus. Come and be with us. You are always welcome in our Lord's house.

Social Question
What are the politics of dance? How does that compare to the politics of music?
I imagine some people will think, 'What? Dance isn't political.' But maybe if you think a little more, you might start to see political aspects of dance. It's pretty easy if you look at the history of dance. But see if you can figure it out yourself.
In what ways do people seek to express power through dance? How does dance help people express power? Are people even aware of what they are doing? Maybe if you compare it to music, it might be easier to see these things.
I think there are probably a myriad of ways that the arts are used to express power. I just wonder what I can learn from my fellow jellies about how they see it. Stories of specific instances where you have been influenced to take action within the community via dance or music would be very helpful. Also, if you want to define how you understand these terms, that would be good, although not fully necessary.

As a result at least each tenth woman living in a big city at her late 35 will not be able to find a husband.

The Jerde Partnership | Morongo Casino Resort & Spa
Morongo Casino Resort & Spa is a resort destination offering something for everyone – locals and tourists, day trippers and overnight vacationers, children and adults. Nearly four times larger than its predecessor Casino Morongo, the project was designed by The Jerde Partnership, in partnership with Thalden Boyd Architects, to introduce non-gaming venues, such as a spa, restaurants, lush pool deck, nightclubs and a luxury hotel, that will result in more visitors and more jobs. Branding the destination as an experiential place, Morongo Casino Resort & Spa will serve as the benchmark for design and development of continued diversification on the 32,000-acre reservation. In the five years following its completion, it is expected to contribute $2.8 billion to the local economy, including 4,000 new jobs.
In 1983, in an effort to become financially self-sufficient, the Morongo tribe established a small bingo hall on its reservation. To keep the bingo hall open, in 1987 the Morongo tribe won a Supreme Court case allowing America's Indian tribes the right to offer gaming. The modest bingo hall grew into one of the nation's largest Indian gaming facilities, Casino Morongo, and the Morongo tribe became one of Riverside County's largest single employers with the 1,000-member tribe's enterprises employing 1,500 people. The port cochere (shown above and below), formed by an abstract torus, serves as both a shield from the desert conditions and an iconic formal entry into the project. At night, a light show illuminated onto the port cochere produces shadows that give the sense of the trees swaying in the breeze.
To promote diversification and greater economic benefit to the community, the Morongo tribe decided in 2002 to convert Casino Morongo into a high-end resort offering leisure, family, dining and entertainment activities in addition to gaming. The tribe selected Jerde to design the resort based on the firm's reputation for designing places that revitalize communities and Las Vegas showstoppers Bellagio and Palms Casino Resort, both of which achieve significant non-gaming revenues.
Located 90 minutes outside Los Angeles adjacent to the popular Desert Hills Outlet Center and historic Hadley's fruit and produce stand, the new Morongo Casino Resort & Spa will provide a year-round destination for the area's 10 million visitors. An economic study commissioned by the Morongo tribe estimates the new Morongo Casino Resort & Spa will have a $2.8 billion economic impact in its first five years and create 4,000 new jobs for the region.
Morongo Casino Resort & Spa is located in the picturesque high desert valley among jagged mountains and wind and water-carved canyons. Inspired by the site's beauty, Jerde's concept for the project celebrates nature as a transformative power that has shaped the dramatic physical landscape and will rejuvenate the people who visit this place. Morongo Casino Resort & Spa's architecture evokes the form-giving power of nature. Exterior forms recall shapes carved by wind and water; interior crystalline forms represent geological forces that yield precious stones and minerals; and the biomorphic forms of the entry canopies resemble the plant shapes that result from the sun's photosynthetic energy. Jerde designed the experience of the project to be a journey of refreshment and renewal across three sequential zones: transition, transformation, and oasis.
Visitors to Morongo Casino Resort & Spa begin their journey with a transition out of the desert climate. Extending from the nearby 10 freeway across the project site the transition zone incorporates landscaping, shade trellises, water features and wind walls that create a natural shield from the desert conditions. The torus-shaped port cochere, which represents a union of earth and sky, serves as both a shield and an iconic arrival point, which at night will be animated by the choreography of colored lights reminiscent of moving shadows cast by trees as they sway in the breeze.
The transformation – where anything can happen – occurs inside the two-level casino, which offers slot machines, table games and rooms for bingo and poker. The casino's focal point, the Pit Bar, is animated with a shimmering liquid curtain that produces water reflections that dance on the ceiling. Above the gaming areas, billowing fabric ceilings are warmly lit to symbolize the breeze blowing through leafy tree canopies. Above the café and buffet zone surrounding the casino are cloud forms constructed with natural materials and warm tones. Morongo Casino Resort & Spa's oasis provides relaxation options for adults and children, including multiple pools, poolside cabanas, a lazy river, a water slide and a large spa nearby. The center of Morongo Casino Resort & Spa is the oasis, a lush pool area framed by dramatic mountain views. A relaxing and fun family destination, the oasis includes sandy beaches, shady cabanas, a lazy river and a water slide. Overlooking the oasis are a spa, an elegant restaurant, a nightclub and the hotel tower offering luxury accommodations in 272 rooms, 32 double-bay suites and six high-end casitas with private water features.Location: 49500 Seminole Dr., Cabazon, California 92230, USA Architect: The Jerde Partnership Schedule
