He needs some new choppers on the upcoming Nationalized Dental Care
Plan, but the spider&web tat is not too bad.

And the Kaepa-USA backpack (strap) looks like it is in good shape. I
wonder where/how he acquired that. In fact, what little we can see of
the general condition of the apparel is pretty good.

... speaking of tats...

There was a recent feelgood story about a Marine who was being
transferred and ran into a big problem about not being able to transport
his great big dogs he rescued in Afghanistan a few years ago.

So a nice rich lady very partial to animals took care of that little
problem by chartering a private jet for him and his family including the
dogs to fly to Camp Lejeune.

The nice lady's name is Helen Rosburg, a Wrigley fortune heiress who is
a little different in her life story and her lifestyle and who has
acquired a 'sleeve' of tats. I was interested to see some pix of her
tats and her story, which is an interesting one.

I hadn't herd that story before.

First a little back story on Helen Rosburg from a January article in
HuffPost mostly about her house

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/13/helen-rosburg-home_n_2463524.html

but then significantly more depth from this 2008 article when Mars and
Warren Buffett took over Wrigley from the family

http://tbo.com/news/offbeat/2008/may/05/wrigley-takeover-stuns-heiress-odessa-estate-comfo-ar-150257/


The interesting parts of those stories aren't the house nor the
takeover, but Helen Rosburg's persona.

Plus the 2nd article has a nice commentary and timeline of her sleeve tats:

// The Blue Devil tattoo gallery in Ybor City put them there. The
forearm tattoo is eight months old and part of her post-mastectomy
recovery process. It features a hand clenching a rope with the word
"ENDURE." The shoulder-to-elbow number came a couple of months later: a
lightning storm where raindrops turn into musical notes: "Don't just
Survive - SING!"

She's thinking about a third tattoo - for her back.

"The whole family is absolutely horrified," she said. "This is not
something a Wrigley family member does." //

Then we can go forward with the Marine's story; he rescued the Anatolian
Shepherds who had been 'damaged' with cutting their ears and tail and
then a rescue agency helped him get them back to the states from Af'stan.

Here's the one site's story of Helen helping Andrew and his family and
dogs
http://www.mnn.com/family/pets/stories/wrigley-heiress-charters-plane-for-marines-dogs
Andrew Morales was worried he'd have to leave behind the dogs he'd
rescued in Afghanistan, but Helen Rosburg said she couldn't let that happen.

Speaking of backstories, here's the back story on James in the pic by
the guy who took the pic. The 'style' of the caption is just the way he
handled the caps and such; I didn't bother to fix anything.

// HOMELESS MAN IN TENDERLOIN JUST DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, SAN FRANCISCO,
JUNE 2006

homeless james from virginia in the tenderloin; goes by "bags." he's 44.
james has been in sf since he was 16 when he got out of juvenile
detention. he was locked up from the age of 12. he started shooting up
when he was 11. he drove out to sf with a girl he had started dating at
the time who had just gotten out of college. says "i was a goodlooking kid."

james says his father was a sniper in vietnam who had 163 kills for the
cia. he agrees his dad was "hardcore." james learned to fight from him.
they had a falling out and don't speak any longer. james' mother was a
stripper.

james used to love to keep animals and guns. he would collect both. he
had dogs, cats, rats, etc. but he went through a bad period where he was
really tweaked out on drugs and he killed them all. he didn't shoot
them; he strangled them. says he feels bad about it.

says he doesn't feel bad about the men he's killed. the one he killed in
prison was a child molester who had raped a 6 year old boy. it was a hit
and he carried it out with no reservations. he stabbed the man through
the back of the neck with a pick axe or some such. says he still
remembers the sound as the axe went through the man's neck and grated
into the bed. the spiderweb prison tattoo on his neck is a "badge of
honor" which commemorates the kill.

i took to james immediately. he is friendly, open and warm. he says
he'll have my back if i should ever need him. he introduced me to his
friends as he walked the street looking for a fix. he says he has "a lot
of hatred and a lot of happiness." he agrees it's a strange mix.

he doesn't mind people taking his picture. "people say it's stealing
your soul; but my soul ain't worth nothing."

but he says he thinks he has goodness in him. "i'm a motherfucker, but
i'm good to women and old people. i always give up my seat on the bus.
and i'm good to my friends."

james is dying of colon cancer. he has a tumor "the size of a
grapefruit" which was caught too late. says he's "pissing and shitting
blood." but he says he doesn't care. "why should i care? i've had it bad
and i could complain, but plenty have had it worse than me." //


The longer back back story on SF's Tenderloin can be seen in the 'pedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenderloin,_San_Francisco

A brief snip: "Nestled near the downtown area, the Tenderloin has
historically resisted gentrification, maintaining a seedy character and
reputation for crime.[12] Squalid conditions, homelessness, crime,
illegal drug trade, prostitution, liquor stores, and strip clubs give
the neighborhood a seedy reputation."

The types of queries which interest you do not interest me.

My enjoyment of searching for something is based on what the something
has of interest to me. Since your interests are peculiar to you and of
no interest to me, you should develop your own search skills and not
call upon others to aid you in those endeavors.

> The short thread is here: http://goo.gl/D6KS4i

You were pursuing information about the registrar for the name
vistahelp.ca which registrar has the quaint 'name' (or DBA doingbusinessas)

0756870 B.C. LTD.

That registrar is registered with the Canadian Internet Registration
Authority whose site (and whois) is here http://cira.ca/

Their registrar list doesn't work to show that 'numeric' named registrar
but of course the CIRA whois does show the same whois info you already have.

Elsewhere one can find the information that another registrar name is
doing business as that numeric name

// This token site is the page-holder for 0756870 B.C. Ltd. ... a
company owning a .CA registrar and doing business as
"free-domain-hosting.ca" //

free-domain-hosting is also not listed at CIRA (either), but you get the
gist of the chase for the registrar.

Another strategy is to pursue the name service and the name service for
the name service until you find the service serving itself, which
happens in the first step for your original target.

vistahelp.ca uses speedydns.net nameservers and speedydns.net uses
speedydns.net name servers.

Back to CIRA: IMO CIRA should be able to provide proper information for
the .ca registrar because CIRA is in charge of the country domain .ca
registrars but their database doesn't show a listing for the named
registrar, but their whois database lists the registrar and its
registrar number. I couldn't find a system for looking up the registrar
by its number at CIRA.

So if you like to communicate with people about such issues, here is a
trove of contact info for CIRA - a webpage full. There is also the CIRA
site I listed above.

Additional info which may be of interest.

free-domain-hosting's registrar is baremetal.com which is authorized by
CIRA to handle .ca names.

baremetal has a useful page about .ca domain registration rules and as
it relates to CIRA http://baremetal.com/domains/ca_faq.html

Hello again, Mike.

Here's a copy/paste of what Andrew Taylor has told me on Facebook:-

=

BD said ...

Perhaps you can find out if Mr Brown has relinquished his domain - the
following link once took folk to his phpBB forum pages, but doesn't now:
http://www.vistahelp.ca The information now shown is, though, still
interesting to folk like you and me! Have a great day!

The reply ....

Andrew Taylor. Yes, he has relinquished the domain, who needs support
for the dreadful Vista these days? The page is a standard, (albeit
pretty, with a little information) domain holding page and the company
owning it is in Singapore.

=

Does that make complete sense to you? Should not the Registrant be
something other that what you have already seen? I had noted that the
last line in the Traceroute wasn't in Canada!

Tracing route to www.vistahelp.ca [216.12.197.229]...

hop rtt rtt rtt ip address fully qualified domain name
1 0 0 0 208.101.16.73 208.101.16.73-static.reverse.softlayer.com
2 0 0 0 66.228.118.157 ae11.dar02.sr01.dal01.networklayer.com
3 0 0 0 173.192.18.252 ae14.bbr01.eq01.dal03.networklayer.com

8 194 194 194 216.12.197.229 asia3.myserverhosts.com

++

So I then looked here, which confirms what Andrew said:

http://www.ip-tracker.org/locator/ip-lookup.php?ip=216.12.197.229

There must, surely, be some way of determining details of the current
registrar.

How can I find out who that really is?

-

[~BD~]

If one looks here ....

http://cira.ca/about-cira/about-the-board/meet-the-board/

There is this information if one clicks on the link under the photo of
Kerry Brown:-

Kerry Brown is the owner and manager of KDB Systems, an IT consulting
firm located in Squamish, British Columbia. Based in the Sea to Sky
Corridor, his company specialises in designing, implementing, and
managing networks for small and mid sized businesses in Squamish,
Whistler, and Pemberton. Before launching KDB Systems Kerry ran the
family businesses which included two consumer electronics retail stores
and two video rental stores. Kerry's past experience is in the logging
and retail industries. His prime focus now is in the IT industry. Kerry
is a past volunteer for several local organisations. He is a past
president of the Sea to Sky Freenet Association, Squamish Flying Club,
and the Squamish Valley Golf and Country Club. He has organised several
motor sport events in the greater Vancouver area.

Kerry's introduction to computers was in 1970 at Simon Fraser
University, playing Lunar Lander on a teletype interface. His first
personal computer was a Timex 1000. He started designing networks when
Lantastic and Novell Netware 2.2 were the current network operating
systems. He currently works with Windows and Linux based networks. Kerry
is very active in both online and offline computer support communities
which include his own www.VistaHelp.ca. In 2006, 2007, and 2008 Kerry
was awarded the Most Valuable Professional award from Microsoft. Kerry's
hobbies and interests include golfing, auto racing, and sport event
volunteering. Kerry is currently volunteering with the Callaghan Valley
Local Organising Committee. CALOC is responsible for Cross Country
Skiing, Biathlon, Nordic Combined, and Ski Jumping events at the
Whistler Olympic Park. He is also a pre-games 2010 Olympic volunteer for
VANOC.

=

The link mentioned (VistaHelp.ca) apparently is NOT his now!

He was awarded the Microsoft MVP award for *six* consecutive years from
2006 to 2011. (That's what it says here: http://www.kdbsystems.com)

IMO, professional people should make sure that the information about
them, specifically directed towards the public, is kept up to date.

Mr Brown should have kept his finger on the pulse! ;-)

You were originally interested in 'what happened to vistahelp?' Then you

resulted in my reply.

But your interest in who is the registrar should have ended when you

immaterial.

There. Your project is done. Trying to figure out whazzup with the
current vistahelp is silly/ misguided/ dull.

>> Tracing route to www.vistahelp.ca [216.12.197.229]...

Realize that

-1- what kind of company or proprietorship one wants to be is one thing
-2- what kind of domain name one wants to have is another thing;
country code TLD such as .ca or .de or generic TLD such as .com or .org
-3- which registrar one is going to choose for the name is another
-4- THEN - it is a completely separate operation about how one is
going to accomplish their web-hosting; who is the webhost, where is the
webhost doesn't actually matter in some ways

So, when your original target of interest disappeared/'died', the
logical/appropriate thing to do would be to drop it. Not attempt to
investigate something or other that you don't understand. It doesn't
even have useful educational value.

It doesn't make any difference why the current company is holding the
vistahelp name or what they intend to do with it or why/how/where they
should choose their current webhosting.

It wouldn't even make any difference if 'they' (whatever that means) had
some kind of evil intentions for distributing malware -- that 'project'
of 'theirs' would have to fly or die on its own, not be helped or
hindered by any of your activities or curiosity.

Your confusion is growing instead of shrinking. CIRA is the
'supervisor' so-to-speak of the management of the .ca country name
domain name system.

Pasting info about CIRA board members is totally lost/confused on your part.

CIRA has 'nothing to do' with vistahelp.ca except that all of the
country code .ca names are under the umbrella of CIRA, but the
individual names are handled by the numerous registrars which are
'supposed to be' registered with CIRA.

Your ability to 'look into' the registration or listing of those
registrars with an online tool is apparently incomplete because we
couldn't find the registrar we wanted earlier.

> The link mentioned (VistaHelp.ca) apparently is NOT his now!

That is where you are CRAZY - totally lost/confused. vistahelp.ca was
NEVER anything to do with anything CIRA except that the registrar for
the name was supposed to be registered with CIRA.

Registrar - the company that a registrant pays to register a domainname
Registrant - at one time someone I don't know registered the
domainname vistahelp.ca with the numerals BC Ltd
CIRA - such .ca name registrars are sorta listed there

Apparently when the person who originally had vistahelp.ca relinquished
it, someone else took it and has some kind of page which is being hosted
in Asia.
