Raul Grijalva

Record and controversies
Iraq War
Environmental record
For more information on environmental legislation, see the Energy and Environment Policy Portal
Reparations for Japanese Latin Americans
Grijalva cosponsored The Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Latin Americans of Japanese Descent Act in the 110th Congress which would establish a commission that would determine the facts and circumstances involving the relocation, internment and deportation of Japanese Latin Americans.[1]
- Main article: Redress for Japanese Latin Americans/ U.S. legislation#Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Latin Americans of Japanese Descent Act of 2007
Gun control
Grijalva is a supporter of gun control and cosponsored H.R. 1312 (Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2005) on July 14, 2005.[2]
He also cosponsored H.R. 1022 (Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2007) on March 9, 2007.[3]
- Main article: U.S. gun legislation
Grijalva is pro choice. He has voted in favor of legislation that allows military families overseas to use personal funds for abortions at military hospitals, against the abortion pain bill, and against two pieces of legislation designed to prohibit partial birth abortion. [1] Currently, Planned Parenthood, a pro-choice interest group, rated Grijalva at 100%.[2]
Illegal immigration
On immigration issues, Grijalva has consistently supported giving illegal immigrants an opportunity to become U.S. citizens. He voted against legislation designed to create a large fence along the US/Mexico border, in addition to equipping border patrol agents with additional equipment. [3]
Grijalva has stated that he feels especially strongly about immigration issues, because his father entered the country through the U.S. "Bracero Program," a program designed to allow seasonal immigration for Mexicans. [4]
Gay marriage
Grijalva voted against a constitutional amendment to define marriage as only between a man and a woman. [5]
Iraq War
Grijalva has stated his dissatisfaction with the Iraq war, particularly the initial decision to enter into a war with Iraq, stating "Rest assured that history will not be kind to the decisionmakers and the decider of this war, nor will it be kind to a Congress that looked the other way." [6] In the same speech, he implied his desire for the eventual removal of US troops from Iraq. Also, he has expressed his desire for increased congressional input, especially in terms of congressional oversight, in the wake of the war. He stated "The litany of failures and untruths goes on and on. The lack of leadership by this administration requires, no, I think it demands that this Congress assert its constitutional duty to check and balance this administration by beginning with the important step of passing this resolution." [7]
Labour Rights
Grijalva is committed to safeguarding collective bargaining rights. He states on his website that he will oppose any attempt to limit union negotiation abilities. [8] The Service Employees International Union believes that he has upheld this promise, and rates him at 100% support for its interests. [9] Mr. Grijalva also serves on the House Education and Workforce committee. [10]
Grijalva states on his website that education is one of his top priorities, and he that he therefore supports fully funding public education in the U.S. [11] He also states that he is opposed to school vouchers allowing parents to opt-out of public education for their children, instead receiving public funding for private schools. [12] He also supports the public-funded "Head Start" Program for pre-kindergarten children. He serves on the Education and Workforce committee in the house, and was rated 100% by the National Education Association [13] for his actions to "promote the cause of public education". [14]
Grijalva was born in Tucson, Arizona on February 19, 1948. He was educated at the University of Arizona and was Director of El Pueblo Neighborhood Center, Assistant Dean for Hispanic Student Affairs at the University of Arizona and a Supervisor of Pima County before entering the House.
He is a cosponsor of the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2005 and an endorser of the Genocide Intervention Network.
Possible Obama Cabinet Post
Sources close to the Obama 2008 transition team reported that Grijalva was under serious consideration for an appointment to the post of Secretary of the Interior. [15] Notable progressive commentators like John Nichols spoke out strongly in favor of a Grijalva-run Interior Department[16], but recent actions indicate that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may be attempting to prevent the appointment by offering the Congressman a seat on the powerful Ways and Means Committee.[17]
2006 elections
In 2006, the Republicans nominated Ron Drake to face Grijalva in his November 2006 bid for reelection. (See U.S. congressional elections in 2006) [18] Grijalva retained his seat.
2008 elections

One of my favorite backpackers I've been to. Everyone always says the generic "friendly staff" comment, but in this instance I can say with certainty that this was the best staff I've been around, from top to bottom. Beyond the informative and helpful and friendly bits, they were F'n fun, interesting and great conversation. Real people, easy to be around and lucky to be around. Safe, great value, incredible food, lively atmosphere, great bike tour, ideal location. Go to Soweto. Stay at L

My experience in this hostel is excellent. It's managed by the people living there and seems very linked with all the neighbourhood. All the smiling staff are very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is very calmed down, though being situated in Soweto, such a special place. If I am to find a problem I would say it gets a bit too expensive when you sum all up. BUT: You can see your money is well invested and doesn't go to another white investor who has never been in a hostel. Will come back!

We had a very enjoyable stay here and the bike ride was by far a highlight so would definitely recommend that! Everything here is good, the chefs are amazing especially Lucky and the rest of the staff are polite and helpful. Only problem we had was checking out which took way too long, the receptionist didn't seem to know what she was doing. There is a system in the hostel where you write down on a spreadsheet what food and/or drinks you have but you end up repeating yourself to the reception.

People might avoid Soweto because of its reputation but Lebo's is just awesome. As others have said there are no lockers but it is still super safe and you are always surrounded by some of the kindest and most helpful group of staff. The atmosphere is top notch, I would definitely recommend this to any traveler looking for an authentic SA experience.

Hey Rogue fans, I just want to know your reactions regarding to what Singer did to our favorite character in the upcoming X-Men Movie. Take note! she did not only change Rogue's power but also deleted her scenes in the movie. So what can you say about that?
Ivyphoenix17's forum posts
@evilvegeta74: yah.. i know right.... especially in one of the episodes of x-men evolution where she go berserk and use other mutant's appearances and powers.... she almost lost her identity and sanity in that episode... but good thing.... professor x is there to help her....
@AskaniSon295 said:
I would do it like this a part of the movie takes place after The Last Stand X-men movie X-Men being Wolverine,Shadowcat,Rouge,Storm,Iceman,Collossus this configuration or a smaller one (depending on the availabilty of the actors) are in days of future past world and travel back in time to change the future kinda like StarTrek 11. Fight with the First Class shut down sentinnel program before inntiation kill Magneto. Oh and you can also do that thing where they time traveling changed the future but it doesn't change the X-men's memories and than at they end have a combination squad of X-Men to take on apocalypse.
i kinda agree with you on that... i think it will be better if at least 3 or 4 members of the x-men will go back to the past to stop the assassination thingy... coz it will be like the old x-men meets the new x-men... and i like wolverine, with not to much occupying the screen, shadowcat, rogue, which is more sassy and more of a fighter and not the one that we used to see in the first trilogy, storm and colossus will make up the team... or if they really want only one mutant to time travel back to the past... i will like it to be Rogue.... because for me, as a Rogue fan since childhood, i hadn't seen enough Rogue in the first trilogy, because she was treated as a minor or rather, a background character. Yeah, she is the main character in the first x-men movie and I may give exemption to it because it is her starting point of being a mutant. But with the next two films, instead of seeing her grow as a mature mutant who is now able to accept herself and her powers, we see how the creators "murdered" her character and treat as something that is not worthy to be develop. Especially in the X-3 where they cured her instead of letting her join the final battle and kick some mutant butt. I think it is now time for the "Real" Rogue to step up into the big screen. I think it is now time for her to shine and let the moviegoers see the Rogue that we used to know and love. So, why not give Rogue a chance to give justice to her character and let her be the mutant who will time travel back to the past? Since she and shadowcat are at the same level in the X-3. Plus, Anna Paquin also wants to regain her role as Rogue and experience the butt-kicking Rogue that we know. So why not give her a chance? I will be happy to see Anna playing the Rogue in the comics and see her fighting villains and killing evil mutants on the big screen.
I think for me, its kinda early to adopt a storyline like The Days of the Future Past because if we base on the ending of the First Class which I admit was really a good film, there is just too much information that we, the movie goers wants to know. I think they should focus first on that information so that there will be no holes that will left empty.
I prefer the other rumor of the sequel of the First Class which is X-Men: The Brotherhood. So that we will know how did Magneto started the Brotherhood, how did he adopt the name "Brotherhood" and it will really connect to the ending of the First Class where he started to divert from the principles of Charles and started to establish his own group. Also, we can include here who are the first members of the Brotherhood, some emphasis on the development of Mystique and her relationship with Azazel, the slowly acceptance of Beast in his new appearance, the development of Charles to the Charles that we know and how did he accept the codename Professor X, how he cope with his paralyzed body and the official establishment of the Xavier Institute and the X-men. I also want to put Mr. Sinister as the main antagonist and maybe, a means to give way to the introduction of Cyclops in the movie since Mr. Sinister is running after the Summer's blood and also a way to introduce Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in the movieverse of X-men.
I think they should prioritize this first before adopting the Days of the Future Past storyline in order to give us more information and more details to the characters of the X-men and how the two groups of mutants: Brotherhood and X-men exist. I think it's better if they would make Days of the Future Past as the third and final movie of the new X-Men trilogy in order to pave way to the new and rebooted x-men universe because they say it is "ambitious", so why not save the best for the last? And other thing, this will connect us to a new set of x-men movie or trilogy, if they are really planning to reboot it, giving the "time travel mutant" a great shock on seeing the great change that happened once he or she alter the past as a means of cliffhanger ending of the movie and also an entry to a new trilogy. Well, this is just my opinion.
i am a Jean Grey fan too.... she is one of my favorite x-men characters.... the second is rogue...
@TheWholeDamnShow: im sorry to tell you but Jean is the perfect host for the phoenix. Killing her and then bringing her to life then kill and then bringing her to life again does not say that she is not the perfect host for the Phoenix. Remember, when Jean was brought back again (the one where she now wears a black uniform i forgot what comics that is), the x-men had a doubt that Jean cannot control the Phoenix but as you can see, she handled the Phoenix perfectly well. Her death at the hand of Xorn who was posing as Magneto means that the Phoenix needs to kill Jean because she needs Jean to be reincarnated in the future whenever the world needs her help again. The first death of the Phoenix, as you know, is not the real Jean but rather, the Phoenix who is posing as the real Jean Grey. They found the body of Jean under the Jamaica Bay by the fantastic four. So, the one that the Hellfire Club seduced is not Jean but rather the Phoenix that has out of control because of being attach to darkness. Maybe, her resurrection is in a wrong time that is why she was killed and then live and then killed so many times. Remember, in the Phoenix endsong, Jean said that she is not yet ready to be reincarnated. The problem here is not Jean being not a perfect vessel for the Phoenix because if she is not too perfect for the Phoenix why did she became the White Phoenix of the Crown? The problem here is the Marvel and their writings towards Jean. They're just fooling her around and making her and her resurrection just for fun. Did you get what I mean?
Well, all i can say is that let's just wait for the event to come and what will happen in the end to see what will be the fate of Hope and the Scarlet Witch, the X-MEN and the Avengers, what is the reason for the phoenix comeback, and will this be signify the comeback of Jean....but first.... there is one question that is left bugging in my mind when I saw the teaser....... why is scott too thin and old? i thought scott should be attractive because of Logan calling him "pretty boy" is it because of thinking too much problems? haha...
wow!!! i cannot wait for the new teasers to come.....i hope the AvX arc will turn out to be good and interesting....i like how he draws Hope...As for Scott, well.....kinda ok but.....scott should be attractive right?
@Charmix: ah ok..... w8, the first fallen? are you referring to angel?
@GREGalicious: as I said to DarkMount1, I am not making a new character, i am just refreshing Jean Grey making all of her aspects as fresh as a new one, but she is still the jean grey that we love and know because of her attitude but only on a new environment, with a new set of origin that is not related to the X-Men and a new set of villains that will call her as her own enemy and not the x-men's enemy and also a new love interest. My ideas are all answered by what if's for example, what if Jean did not join and meet the X-Men and eventually her powers was manifested slowly. What if Jean will have her own solo series where her phoenix powers can be more emphasize and maybe, this new Jean Grey, will be revealed as the reincarnated Jean of the x-men. Did you get it?
I think the Phoenix force will always be a "she" because look, when the Phoenix force merged with the dead body of Colossus, in an alternate reality, she really took the form of a girl and take note, her appearance really resembles Jean on a metallic form, so, I think, the Phoenix force is really a girl because she is Jean. But i really think Jean will be coming back and it will be sooner or later. I think this is the reason why they made the stories of the x-men worse like dividing the x-men and the decimation thingy so they will have enough reason for bringing her back.

Four-Night Stay for Two in an Ocean View King or Double Room, All-Inclusive of Three Meals per Day, Unlimited Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Beverages, Resort Activities, and More
Sugar Bay Resort & Spa is the kind of place you see on postcards. In fact, its white sand beaches, classically Caribbean waters, and densely tropical landscapes are among the most photographed wedding locales in the region. Talk about dreamy.
But you don't need a save-the-date to vacation at this St. Thomas resort. With this week's Escape, you'll get four all-inclusive nights for two guests in an Ocean View Room with one king-size bed or two doubles, which includes three meals a day, unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and unbridled access to a host of recreational activities ($1,176).
Checking into your room, you'll first notice the view: Step out onto the balcony and let the sea breeze tickle your skin as you gaze at the lush islands in the distance. Accommodations also include Balinese-style furnishings and a spacious bathroom with a shower and tub, marble floor, and separate vanity.
And meals? Waste no time acquainting your taste buds with the resort's plentiful dining options. With six restaurants to choose from, you can expect a well-rounded ensemble of fresh eats, from sea to shining sea (that's the Caribbean to the Mediterranean). There's even a sports bar and grill, plus two lounges.
When you aren't nibbling on jerk-spiced shrimp, take a cocktail to one of three pools or the hot tub, and kick back beneath the palm trees. For more active pursuits, cruise down to the secluded beach for morning yoga, or organize a catamaran snorkel trip; rent jet skis, kayaks, or a sailboat; or pick up snorkel or scuba gear for a warm dive among tropical fish.
It's all in a day's work at this Virgin Islands resort, and we mean "work" in the loosest sense of the word. Go ahead and pinch yourself: It might not be your dream wedding, but it certainly is a dream come true.

Skip to comments.What caused Obamas poor debate performance?
Posted on 10/09/2012 10:18:28 AM PDT by Seizethecarp
(@ 4:05) I can't make sense out of it. It's been said in some places and no, not by me that obama actually, this has been said by people that maybe he's not very bright. The other night I actually wondered what's wrong with him. I don't think it's because he's afraid to be an angry black man to say the things you were talking about would not have looked angry, just intelligence. I suspect he's used to being riding on that charisma of his. I think he thought standing there and being his larger than life self would take care of things.
(Excerpt) Read more at video.msnbc.msn.com ...
The white female Salon writer next to him just about throws up in her mouth when he says this. Classic!
Sarah Palin got better treatment from the progressive LSM than Barry has received for his debate performance!
Early life
McWhorter was born and raised in Philadelphia. He attended Friends Select School in Philadelphia, and after tenth grade was accepted to Simon's Rock College, where he earned an A.A. degree. Later, he attended Rutgers University and received a B.A. in French in 1985. He received a master's degree in American Studies from New York University and a Ph.D. in linguistics in 1993 from Stanford University.
After graduation McWhorter was an associate professor of linguistics at Cornell University from 1993 to 1995 before taking up a position as associate professor of linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1995 until 2003. He left that position to become a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank. From 2006 to 2008 he was a columnist for the New York Sun. He is Contributing Editor at The New Republic and The Root.com, writes a biweekly column at The New York Daily News and also writes regularly for Rupert Murdoch's The Daily. Since 2008, he has been a lecturer in linguistics, American Studies, and the Core Curriculum at Columbia University.[1]
maybe he's not very bright?...Indeed!
RE: "Maybe he's just not that bright"
Took them 4 YEARS and 5 additional trillion dollars in debt to find out this.
If he were so bright, why is he hiding his college transcript records?
I think SNL is going to be worth watching now that they have finally found their angle on Obama.
Maybe BJ is channeling his inner Biden.
Bright enough for his dad to call him "son."
That is to say, not the sharpest tool in the shed!
and maybe as that Maher guy says, Obama just spent Maher's million dollar campaign donation on weed...
I think it's entirely possible he wants to lose. It seems apparent to many insiders he hates the job. Rumor is that the Mooch pushed him for a 2nd term because 'he owes it to the people who elected him firsttime.' So he runs, a little half-hearted, and then if he loses, he retires to a place in hawaii.
PS: I have no truck for Maher, but can you IMAGINE donating a million dineros to a political candidate— only to see the guy look sullen, angry, and stoned (and sound as stupid as ever) in the national debate?
Maher would have done a whole lot better to just put his million bucks on any pony running at the race track (he could use Obama's fake social security number to select the horse)
"Maybe he's just not that bright"
But we all KNEW that a long time ago!
Once the MSM behaved with the minimum of bias, and the teleprompter safety net was gone....Uhhh... yea... "O" ain't that bright!
The host and all 4 panelists are all in the tank for obamma. What a biased show!
"The white female Salon writer next to him just about throws up in her mouth when he says this. Classic! "
That was hysterical. Her mouth was gaping open in shock when he said others were saying Obama wasn't that bright.
As Ron White says, "You can't fix stupid!"
He could have taken the easy route and become Chairman of the African Diaspora Studies Department at some SUNY or UC campus, stopped writing and researching, and just collected checks and held court.
Instead, he's a serious linguist who has done new work in his field. He is, by disposition, a man of the left and if liberals ignore him they do so at their peril.
So, I hope they do.
Lmao.....the Salon dunce was like...Gasp! How dare you?!?!?!
He's certainly not as told by his worshippers. The man can't answer a serious question without lying, so when the chips were down, he folded like a house of cards. Blame O's administration, and the LSM for his pathetic performance.
Those in power don't care if he's white/black/green/martian/god/satan/Hitler, etc. they want this man to win for power and money to their party, nothing more, nothing less.
It's not that he's not that bright. He's fairly intelligent when compared to the rest of the population.
The problem comes in when he obfuscates his crap product.
It sucks, bottom line.
He can't make the case for a marginal solution, it just doesn't work and can't be sold on a sound bite or spread sheet.
the only way he can sell it is by disguise and using extreme superlatives that incite emotions of possibilities.
That's possibilities, not hope that is realistic.
IMO the primary variables are/were these:
- intellectually 0 is in over his head, has been all along. The multilayers of protection he's enjoyed weren't there during the "debate"
- Like most celebrities, he has been shielded and pampered by a coterie of sycophants and yes men. All the while they are telling him he's the political equivalent of the second coming, that when he coughs it is a brilliant intellectual uttering.
- every substandard thing he has said or done has been passed off as either untrue or someone else's fault. He's not been held accountable for *anything*.
- all of the above has (naturally) instilled in him a huge ego and level of narcissism and hubris. Ipso facto, "I've never done anything less than great, I've never made any mistakes, everyone admires me, so it is only logical that I can and will do no wrong."
- He though he could stroll on stage and his overwhelming victory would just happen.
Remember, this man has not had a genuine press conference since (I believe) June. He's never seriously been grilled and forced to defend his ideas or policies. Such as they are.
First of all, a "Projectile Vomit Alert" tag would have been nice since you linked to a libtard panel of idiots.
Obama IS not very bright, and I LOL'd at that brunette's response as if it was the most unbelievable thing she'd ever heard. Are these people that stupid? Obama's NOT smart when someone doesn't have their hand up his arse like a puppet, telling him what to say.

New SNL skit, President Obama are you smarter than a five year old?
New new new SNL skit, Mr. Obama are you smarter than Big Bird?
[Note: Quote from another FR thread, comments are mine.]
- - - He [Obama] falls down in thinking that the well made argument wins the argument and in politics it doesnt work that way. - - -
This is a very revealing, insightful observation!
Ponder this:
1.) This observation goes a long way towards explaining the fact of Obamas arrogance: Once Obama states his argument, everybody must agree that all future DISCUSSION is just mindless bickering.
2.) In the last debate, whenever Romney made a BETTER well made argument than the argument that Obama was thinking of, Obama just nodded his head in defeat, and looked at the floor anxious to go stand in the corner.
3.) As a weak and incompetent financial steward, all CHALLENGES to his memorized statements render Obama unable to comprehend that he has to think on his feet, by himself against an adversary.
As a result Obama is able only to repeat his memorized statement. For example, just count the number of times that Obama repeated the 5 Trillion Dollars after Romney told him that wasnt in his plan.
I have put 3 key words in caps from the above 3 thoughts.
Consider now, that we are hiring a CEO to run the Worlds most powerful company, in this case the US Federal Government.
IMHO, a good CEO would want to hold frequent Board Meetings to encourage DISCUSSION, generate BETTER arguments, and CHALLENGE every idea from every angle.
How then, you LURKERS, can you vote for Obama who is lacking in all 3 of these CEO characteristics?
In summary, the last debate was CEO Romney against street-smart, incompetent Obama. Both men were at their natural best.
Couple the debate with the Univision interview, and it was a one-two punch to the gut for the Won.
Ive been in business for 25 years. I have no idea what youre talking about. Maybe I need to get a new accountant, but the idea you get a break for shipping jobs overseas, is simply not the case.
indifference and or laziness?
Intelligent defines someone who has the ability to learn quickly.
Ignorant is being unaware of the facts.
Stupid is the inability to learn.
Since Obama flunked kindergarten, has sealed or lost his school records, fried his brain by using drugs enthusiastically, (his words in his book about dreams of his Father), it is doubtful that Obama is intelligent. For example, Obama still believes that there are 57 States in the USA.
Obama is not capable of learning how to attend his own Jobs Council, while telling lies to the Media that everyday he works on jobs, jobs, jobs.
Obamas on-the-job-training has been a failure in the financial stewardship and foreign policy areas. For example, Obama was incapable of passing a spending Budget in his 4 budget years on the job.
Obama must therefore be graded stupid, or near stupid in those areas.
Obama considers discussion to be mindless bickering, and is thus easily lectured to by stronger minds such as Putin, Netanyahu and Romney.
IOW, Obama does not play well with others. Guess his kindergarten teacher was right!
Prayers-millions of them—caused it.
Gives me hope that God has not abandoned us yet, even after 60 million abortions.
Just saw him telling a group of supporters that after the debate his people told him he was too nice.
Every time he is supposedly self deprecating, this is all he comes up with, I'm too nice, I was too presidential, I had an imperfect day........waahhhh
Just made my day and I forwarded this clip to a handful of people. Thanks for posting this! Still LOL
Mods removed my "on MSNBC" and "maybe he's just not that bright" tags. I think they thought I was the one who was being "racist" or something.
Who knows?
By all accounts even Zero doesn't know. (I understand mom was a "get around Sue.") Maybe it's time to apply a little DNA science.
Obama hasn't had to come up with an original thought for four years. Every public appearance has been scripted and TOTUS has been his constant companion. He holds a minimum of press conferences and filibusters through them making absolutely no sense.
The whole Obama-fawning press scene is like a secret club where everyone possesses superior knowledge to the rest of us dunces and we dunces don't really see or understand how superior Obama and his sycophants are.
No one in the secret club wants to be kicked out, so they just go along with the flow and don't make waves by reporting the truth.
A few in the club are starting to rebel. Wonder if there will eventually be wholesale rebellion.

Okay, I picked one out and he said that it doesnt fit into my plan. I ask which one does fit my plan, 'none.'
So I said, SO I cant get a replacement phone. "Yes, but you have to get a new plan." He looked at my old one and stated that it would also effect my other phone*Husbands and daughter* plans. So he calculated a total of over $500 in 3 new plans and one new phone.
I asked about it being insured that it shouldnt effect my plan. He just said 'yes it will so get a new plan." I felt uneasy and just said 'you know, have the guy in the back see what he can do with my old phone."
"FINE!!" matt said and grabbed the phone from my hand and stormed off to the back. He then shoves a receipt in my hand and I ask 'whats this?" "Read it." Rude no.
Basically it said I could pick up my phone in a few days. Matt glared at me as I left. I complained to the manager about his attitude but he just blew me off b/c he 'understood why matt is angery."
So I called to see if my phone was in. When it would 'connect' to Customer service, I'd get the dial tone. So, I DROVE to this place and asked if my phone was ready. It was.
So, now matt wasnt in but a girl named kim helped me. Kim reluctantly stated that my phone was unrepairable. Yes I was angery but she said 'I took the liberty of ordering you a replacement phone."
"WAIT so I have to pay for a new plan?!" "no, its covered in your insurance and plan. This is a replacement phone and you dont have to get a new plan." I told her what matt stated about and she said' oh, he's like that."
SO, if your phone is broken, dont GET A NEW phone but push for a replacement that will not change you plan. As one person stated, They just "ommit certain truths" at the sprint store.
I have a old plan from 2004ish *nonstop free texting, interent and minutes sprint to sprint* No wonder they tried to trick me to believe to get a new plan. No wonder matt was angery, he didnt get a sale, jerk.
Kim, thank you very much.

Canberra gets new owners
Andrew Bolt
–, Monday, April, 13, 2009, (10:06am)
A dramatic crime shocks Canberra, traditional home of the who-knows-exactly:
The Ngunnawal people are currently recognised as the traditional custodians of the land, but the title is contested by the Ngambri people.
The standing disagreement took a dramatic turn earlier this week when ''Welcome to Canberra'' signs were illegally changed. Five signs at entry points to the territory were altered from Ngunnawal Country and replaced with Ngambri Country some time between the weekend and Wednesday morning. The professional-looking Ngambri stickers were placed over the top of Ngunnawal to convincingly change the greeting…
ACT TAMS Minister Jon Stanhope echoed the plea (to report the offenders to police), labelling the change as vandalism.
And, my goodness, but Stanhope is particularly careful about the politics of his sacred signs, announcing:
The signs incorporate the text from the old signs of 'Welcome to Ngunnawal Country, Sister Cities of Nara (Japan) and Beijing (PRC China)' as well as 'Friendship City with Dili (East Timor)'.
But wait - if the Ngambri are the fake traditional owners of Canberra, how did this happen?:
This video from the ABC website shows Matilda House, Ngambri Elder, giving the Welcome to Country speech at the opening of the 42nd Parliament, Parliament House, Canberra, 12 February 2008.
It turns out that House had restickered herself, too, just like some Welcome to Canberra sign:
Matilda House - who now identifies herself as a Ngambri woman after claiming in the past to belong to the neighbouring Ngunnawal tribe - had been invited to give the formal welcome when parliament opens.
And to be honest, she could just as easily call herself a member of several other ethnic tribes:
Any chance we'll get over this New Racist circus any time soon?
(Thanks to reader Foehn.)
Time for that competition again: Spot which of these women is not Aboriginal.
Give up? A clue - but not really an answer.
Have Your Say
Five local tribes were represented in Parliament House as "Traditional owners" the day Rudd gave his appalling "sorry" speech.
That's five tribes who can't even agree among themselves who were there first. I can only assume Matilda House, who gave the official "welcome to country", was drawn by lot or maybe, she drew the longest straw!
All this falling over ourselves to acknowledge people who are 50% white as "traditional owners" is sickening!
Mon 13 Apr 09 (11:35am)
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:09pm)
Matilda House got the gig because, according to Minister Jenny Macklin, "The ACT Government often invites Matilda House to do welcome to country."
So there you are. If it's good enough for Jon Stanhope(less), then it is good enough for Rudd. If they are going to subject the population to these boring "welcome to country" ceremonies (and, working in Canberra, I endure one almost every week - how many times do I have to be welcomed?) they could at least find out who is entitled to perform it.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:28pm)
Totally agree.
We should now have a tribal war to sort things out - actually, no need, white man wins - therefore it is ours. Everyone else can go away.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (10:24pm)
Just as a matter of interest;, is there an aboriginal tribe called "Watch this space"?
So racism is alive and well in the aboriginal community? Anything goes as long as it's not white. Even if the skin colour of the person switching nationalities indicates that maybe white is present anyway?
Are these people really serious about this? Sorry, indeed!
Mon 13 Apr 09 (11:40am)
She's wearing dead animals. PETA won't be happy…
Mon 13 Apr 09 (11:41am)
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:01pm)
And it doesn't even look nice.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:02pm)
PETA allows leftard indiscretions.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (05:06pm)
They look a bit 'tired'. I'd happily point her in the direction of some possums to kill for nice fresh ones.
I did not know the aboriginals had built any cities.
So I assume from this article they are may now be claiming kudos for building Canberra? Sister city with Bejing…
Mon 13 Apr 09 (11:43am)
Mon 13 Apr 09 (11:56am)
Sister city with Bejing…
How appropriate!
Sister city with Bejing…
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:06pm)
Did the current aboriginals wipe out the previous owners? What happens if Mungo Man were proven to have living descendants? Land rights would be null and void for the current crop of aboriginal real estate barons.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:30pm)
" I did not know the aboriginals had built any cities "
Of course they didn't Captain.
But they could have, if they'd wished.
Just as they could have invented electric light, the internal combustion engine, jet propulsion, television, nuclear power, the internet, landed on the moon....etc.
But instead, they had the jolly good sense not to.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (03:41pm)
Futureproof, I am a direct decendant of Mungo man..
I may as well claim it, as certain people keep saying they are Aboriginal and to prove such doesn't seem a big deal..1/16th is all you need, apparently..and with this comes all the spoils…
So, would all of those claiming aboriginality in MY country, please get the hell out!!
To those that doubt my heritage, prove that I'm not Mungo Man…
Any rellies out there wish to 'join in'??
Andrew, a third horse has entered this race… the Wiradjuri.
Matilda and Isabell were both raised on a mission in Cowra, almost 200km away from Canberra. Matilda is a respected elder of the Ngamberri nation which sits inside the Ngunnawal country border. Matilda believes her people have the strongest claim to country, giving them the greatest influence over the future of the tent embassy. But her cousin Isabell disputes the claim, saying the Ngunnawal is a just a small family clan of the Wiradjuri nation where SHE is a respected elder.
In the same Message Stick story, Matilda House's son, Paul lets the cat out of the bag:
PAUL HOUSE, MATILDA'S SON: In the last 10, 20, 30 years, a lot of Indigenous people have come to Canberra trying to stake their claim, and assert themselves as the traditional owners from wherever. But we're here to say that this is our land, our country, and it's only the Ngamberri who can speak for the country here. And Matilda, the family, we identify strongly with all our ancestries, but...that's not a problem. But here in the ACT, we identify as Ngamberri people. And that's the difference, we are a distinct group of people, and we have a distinct group of rights here in the ACT, apart from anyone else.
So what Paul House is saying is that they have traditional, distinct rights "apart from anybody else" thanks to a European construct of creating the Australian Capital Territory. Does he mean that if the National Capital was set up somewhere else, such as Eden or Dalgety (two of the proposed sites), then their "distinct group of rights" would not exist? If Whitefellas don't exist in their view of the world, how does his family end up with more rights than others thanks to European settlement?
As far as I am concerned, they can fight amongst themselves until the cows come home, but despite their claim to the contrary, their territorial melodramas are costing taxpayers money. It is mobs like this, who can't even sort out who are the traditional owners amongst themselves, that Justice Robert French wants to empower by giving them the upper hand in Native Title claims.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (11:51am)
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:19pm)
"Respected elder" = the only one left sober enough to care for all the grandkids
Aunty" or "Uncle" = a prefix added to the first name of the above. Entitles them to turn up at any function, read a rote 'Welcome to Country', get fed, and put their hand out for payment for same.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:44pm)
PS, this may come as a suprise to the people of Cowra, but they are part of the Australian Capital Territory, some 200 km away. The National Foundation of Australian Women says so, but only to stretch the truth a little further that Matilda House has an ongoing connection to the ACT when she was born in Cowra, as were her ancestors.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:48pm)
traditional owners
I have never been able to reconcile how the concept of land ownership could possibly relate to stone-age hunter-gatherers who roamed wide areas of this continent in search of food, built no cities or even towns, did not cultivate the land, farm animals, etc.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (01:20pm)
Verax, my thoughts exactly.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (01:38pm)
"Traditional Owners" runs counter to the basic precept of the Dreaming/Religion which has always been "the people belong to the land"
My Mum always said, "the black feller isn't going to get anywhere till they learned the value of a quid."
Mon 13 Apr 09 (03:50pm)
Remove the tent embassy (big D12 bulldozer). No argument about who controls it then.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (05:15pm)
This might surprise you, Nowra is Canberra's seaport as per a treaty that all national capitals must have a seaport.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:01pm)
Is this how the sharia/shiite stuff started, in a land far away?
Tribal wars in Canberra… give me strength…
When did we escalate into crappy ratbags from the cuter ratbags we youst to be?
Am I on anudder planet?
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:07pm)
Mon 13 Apr 09 (02:21pm)
"Traditional Owners" are as dead as the "Colonists" and "Settlers".
And the second stupidity "Asylum Seekers" is just another piece of leftist BS.
Why do we put up with this rot?
Any chance we'll get over this New Racist circus any time soon?
Well, a US President just got elected largely on the basis of it. So, no.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:21pm)
"Matilda is a respected elder".
Are there any non-respected Aboriginal elders out there? If so how do we never hear from them?
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:23pm)
Mon 13 Apr 09 (02:09pm)
I don't respect her.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (03:45pm)
Because we're not good enough.
Time for that competition again: Spot which of these women is not Aboriginal.
None of them are Aboriginal.
If I did not know better I would say that they are sisters (not the Aboriginal usage of "sisters"),because they all have similar noses.
None of them have wide "flattened" noses like Aborigines and none of them are black.
Aborigines around these parts are black and have wide "flattened" noses.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:24pm)
Mon 13 Apr 09 (02:59pm)
Dave, you are speaking of the real aboriginals, these three are the pretend aboriginals, while there is still a quid to be made.
Hang on a minute. Is there any money to be made out of this game? There is! Well I'm a member - no, sorry - I'm an elder of which ever tribe/mob/family/nation/rabble/rort/junket that eventually gets the jersey.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:25pm)
Its a complete joke of course how a mainly white woman can call herself an aborigine let alone specifically identify which tribe she belongs to. And to secure her influence she rejects her tribe and claims she belongs to another. When political circumstances change she reclaims her birthright.
How much loyalty can the Ngambri expect from her considering she ditched them in the 1st place? All of this assumes the tribe is something more than a fiction.
I believe we have a 3rd tribe in Canberra called the Aranda and I'm waiting for matilda to waltz over there one day soon.
But the idea we have to be welcomed into our own land is an insult. I attended a return to my old primary school in Red Hill once where the head mistress led a welcome to the local aboriginal tribe. The assembly had to be cajoled into applause. I thought just 5 seconds too late as it happens to turn my back on her but I'm prepared to do that at any welcoming ceremony in future.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:25pm)
Mon 13 Apr 09 (12:51pm)
Mike, if you are talking about the suburb of Aranda, according to ACT place names it is a nod to the people of central Australia, the Arunta. Since they have been honoured in such a way, perhaps they can put in a land claim because it seems like you don't actually have to have an ongoing connection with the place to make a claim.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (01:14pm)
Well put, Mike. I agree.
I don't think I could tolerate a welcome to country speech, they are so common and from what I know and understand they're meaningless - particularly when most tribes have been displaced many times over the past 500 years, and when some take advantage and change their tribe at will.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (04:53pm)
Kae, I would advise you not move to Canberra if you don't think you can tolerate welcome to country speech. You can barely open an envelope in this town without somebody jumping up and doing a welcome to country ceremony. It is a real lurk, or should I say an industry. The local indigenous "elders" put out their hands for a couple of hundred bucks to turn up and do it. Now, whenever I go to an event and somebody acknowledges the original inhabitants or we have to sit through one of these welcome to country things, I let out an audible groan. I have noticed a few others doing the same thing and shuffling their feet so I think the novelty has well and truly worn off.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (06:29pm)
kae. Good points. The fluidity of tribal allegiance and nomadic lifesyles of aborigines would be contrary to them establishing a connection to one place.
FOEHN. Thanks for the information on Aranda which I have just confirmed on google. They didn't explain how the name came to identify a Canberra suburb though so the connection remains a mystery. I'm also glad to hear about your experiences with welcoming ceremonies and the growing agitation with them.
We are not alone.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (10:16pm)
We even have to sit through it at our P&C;meetings. As far as I am aware, there is not an ounce of blackfella in any of the parents, teachers or kids - but some PC bilgehead decided it had to go on the agenda.
Tue 14 Apr 09 (09:14am)
Living in Canberra there is an acknowledgement to country in virtually every tin pot meeting that happens. Some meetings I go to regularly not only have the acknowledgement but an invitation to have a 10 minute contemplation of the generosity and guidance we can get from the elders of whichever tribe happens to be flavour of the month.
I attended a public meeting not so long ago with about half a dozen eminent type speakers (MLAs, professors etc) and ALL of them did an acknowledgement of country before starting their speech. It was way OTT IMHO but they needed to show their PC credentials. Even that pales into insignificance compared with the 8 power point page acknowledgement driven down the throats of some public servants a couple of years ago at a workshop!
Last conference I went to I think it was Aunty Doris who claimed to be a Ngambri woman who opened it - that was news to me, I thought we were still Ngunnawal.
Sounds like you had better avoid coming to Canberra to live, Kae - it is a constant for us!
This is nothing!
Just wait until Justice French amends the Native Act and watch the brawl that erupts over "Aboriginal" land.
And to think our Kevin thought he had solved the problem by saying "sorry".
Obviously he was unaware of the land grab being plotted by the Black Mafia and it's supporters for more than three decades.

Was I the only person who saw and heard people talking about "sovereignty claims" on the day of "The Sorry"
Agreed Watty, it's been out there for a while.

I was standing on the steps of the Old Parliament House several years ago when a Canadian couple asked me what the Aboriginal Tent Embassy was all about.
I said with a completely straight face, "Do you remember when President Regan closed all the mental hospitals and insane asylums in the US and tossed the imamates out on the street? We did the same thing here and I guess they have to live somewhere."
It seemed a lot easier than trying to tell an overseas visitor (or even a foreigner - Melbourne or Sydney) the truth.
The Aboriginal Tent Embassy belongs to the Redfern Mob in Sydney who use it as a summer camp and out-of-state housing for their people that the Sydney cops want to interview "to help them with their enquires." It is also claimed to be the Fretilin Embassy in Canberra (Revolutionary Front for an Independent East Timor) who in the old days used to save on ammunition by bashing babies heads against trees if their parents belonged to the wrong political party. It also may be the hiding place of Bishop Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo, the 1996 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who had been missing ever since East Timor became independent.
The Redfern Mob is one of five 'traditional owners' of Canberra, none who ever lived there before Canberra was built, but there is a common agreement they have been at war with each other for 40,000 years. When one non-Redfern local Aboriginal was ejected from the Embassy he walked over to the High Court Building and complained to the judges that his sovereign rights had been trespassed. They are still hearing the case.
The "invasion" of East Timor by Australia is the only action ever taken by the Commonwealth Government that has the enthusiastic approval of the far left–wing academics at ANU, the far right-wing gun nuts in Queensland and John Howard. That will be hard to beat.

A few years back I saw a tent embassy, er, staffer buying a $.6.50 sandwich at the cafe that's part of the Lobby Resturaunt in Parkes. He could have had a perfectly good sandwich for $3.50 at any of several other cafes in the area.
Today he would probably pay #7.50 for the same sandwich.
He had, of course, the right to buy an expensive sandwich, but it made his and his colleagues claims to be downtroden and destitute as a result of whitey a bit harder to swallow!!
It looks like it is all a smokescreen - sacred traditional wondrous mystical Aboriginal smoke of course.
How long will 99% of Australia suffer this sort of garbage and continue to allow the indulgence of people whose total motivation is based on being different and not wanting to fully integrate into mainstream 21 century Australian society. Pathetic.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (01:16pm)
their land, their right.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (01:42pm)
Mon 13 Apr 09 (02:40pm)
err sorry bnf - its actually OUR land - you know, ALL Australians.
Mon 13 Apr 09 (02:56pm)
Those of us who are born here - our land, our right
Those who came here legally, are naturalised and who have integrated into the community - our land, our right
Those who came here, legally or illegally, naturalised or not, and who have not integrated nor want to - our land, they're not right and they have no right
Can't say it wouldn't happen and this is not the end. Well I hope they take Canberra and Kirribilli house, the new parliament and the surrounding blocks warts and all. rudd will piss of to the unknown and leave behind a constitutional and economic mess all because of his ego and inability to strike a deal of sorts. Even the Apology never was fulfilled to a point where the issues of health education and unemployment have been addressed. rudd has had his day in the sun, he has made his mark, he has stacked the courts and pandered to activists groups in return for votes, not only from the Indigenous peoples but Immigrants and refugees. And now has caused what may become one of the greatest divides between all of us here.

Which one is Aboriginal? I think it must be Helen Coonan - all that foundation must be hiding something.

Mon 13 Apr 09 (05:22pm)
Will it be on free-to-air tv, or pay-per-view?
Mon 13 Apr 09 (10:19pm)
Who cleans up the mess?
The same people that clean up the mess every week in the "communities" at present: the white nurses, doctors and police.

Kids Blog
The Summer Reading Club at your library is here! Sign up in person or online, read whatever you want, and earn great prizes!
Reading is one of the best things that you can do to fight boredom, keep your brain active, and have fun while school is out. It offers chances to escape, journeys to travel, and mysteries to solve.
Reading is also tremendously important when time travelling. Don't believe me? Check out our special public service announcement below that shows just what can happen. It stars our beloved TARDIS as well as a few other curious characters.
Our Summer Reading theme for kids is "Fizz, Boom, Read," and it goes all the way until August 31. Don't forget that we offer Summer Reading for teens and adults, too! Sign up online or at your local branch and be sure to keep an eye out for the TARDIS as it travels around our libraries.
Super Hair-O and the Barber of Doom is John Rocco's story of his enormous, bushy hairdo as a boy and how he imagined it giving him special abilities! According to our unkempt crusader, "every superhero gets his powers from somewhere," and what better place than the top of your own head?
The Central Rappahannock Regional Library is dedicated to featuring new and inspiring technologies for the community. For the past year we have been demonstrating 3-D printing with our Mobile MakerLab. The library can offer much more now that a permanent MakerLab has been set up at our England Run Branch.
Thanks to a generous partnership with the University of Mary Washington, library staff and university students are able to teach customers of all ages about aspects of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) through demonstrations and hands-on activities.
Each February, hardworking area kindergarten teachers connect their students to our kindergarten library card campaign. Our goal is for every child to have the opportunity to explore the wonderful world of books, classes, and events available to them at the public library. With the teachers' help, students can easily register for a public library card and take an important step toward lifelong reading and learning.
Connecting with kindergartners in this way would be impossible to do without the teachers. This year, thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Library, one teacher at each branch was randomly selected to receive a Friends' book bag filled with wonderful books for their classroom.
Kindergarten students can join in the fun, too! Any time between now and May 31st, bring your child to any branch. Tell someone at the Children's Desk that he or she is in kindergarten to receive a free prize.
Congratulations to the winners of the 2014 Kindergarten Library Card Campaign teacher prizes!
George has a problem. He wants to be good. He knows how good dogs are supposed to act. They are not supposed to devour entire cakes that have been left on the table. They should probably leave any cats alone...dirt, too. George knows what he should do. He just doesn't do it. Oh No, George! by Chris Haughton, brings his eternal struggle to life.
From African-American history to folktales to album covers, Kadir Nelson has added his glowing and inspired paintings to dozens of projects and gone on to become an award-winning author himself.
"Everyone was perfectly fine with the way things were. Everyone but Mr. Tiger."
Mr. Tiger Goes Wild takes on proper behavior and tears it to shreds. At the beginning of Peter Brown's picture book, four-legged animals walk stiffly upright, wear suits, dresses, top hats, and bonnets. Elephants, bears, and deer all have perfect posture. Every house on the block looks exactly the same, and our striped protagonist is sick of it.
Some books just aren't meant to be read alone by an adult sitting quietly on her couch with no children in sight; naming no names of course. They demand an audience so that the actions aren't just read, but performed, and so that the words aren't just said, but shouted! You don't need a room full of children to enjoy books at this level, this is the kind of fun that can be had even if there are just two of you!
Niño is one remarkable little boy. He may look like an ordinary child playing with his toys. When he picks up his red mask though, Niño Wrestles the World.
Yuyi Morales has combined the two disparate worlds of children's literature and Lucha libre to create an unforgettable book. Niño is great both as a multicultural read and as just a fun romp.
Cinco de Mayo is NOT Mexican Independence Day-- that's September 16. Cinco de Mayo, the 5th of May, celebrates an incredible victory by native Mexican soldiers over the imperialist French who tried to rule them way back in 1862.
The French wanted to collect their debts from Mexico and, rather than making a deal with Mexican government, decided to put into power a new French emperor, Maximilian. Most native Mexicans were furious.
The Mexican leader, General Zaragosa, ordered Colonel Diaz to attack the flanks of the French army with his excellent cavalry. The French chased them, and were defeated. Those French forces that remained were ordered to attack. They charged through mud, a thunderstorm, and a stampede of cattle stirred up by Native Americans armed only with machetes. They, too, were defeated.

Added Value Accounts – the benefits
I took a look at bank accounts in my native UK recently and it dawned on me that the proposition offered by banks in the UK is by far much more generous than where I currently reside in the UAE, or so it seems.
Take my own UK bank for example, they offer a variety of accounts with a variety of benefits (see below).
So when I look at accounts in the UAE and greater Middle East landscape it seems we get 'charged' but there are not many benefits associated with the accounts… a debit card and a cheque book! As written in previous blog posts, the dynamic between banks and customers needs to change since the global financial crisis and the feeling of being charged doesn't sit well with customers. However, where UK banks do well in my opinion is that they position their accounts as value loaded products that customers can 'buy' vs being 'charged for' as they receive so many benefits in the bundle they decide upon.
Psychology plays a huge part in the process of selling and Added Value accounts are in my opinion, a fantastic way to generate incremental revenue; change the dynamic between bank and customer and give the customer a product that has a perceived value of several hundred $'s/£/AED/SAR etc for a fraction of the cost.
The concept of loading credit cards with benefits is not a new concept in the Middle East and many issuers have suffered from bad debtors. However, applying benefits to products that carry little or no risk is also a sure way to generate significant revenue and at the core of the banks customer relationship. Added value accounts have proven to reduce attrition and drive customer relationships and research indicates that customers really do value the benefits offered to the core product.
If customers are engaged at the core of their relationship the right way, it will be the start of a loyal relationship and the potential to cross sell and up sell other products will be greater.

I created a WordPress (3.4.0) site on my local server which worked fine. I transferred the theme files over to a new server with a fresh 3.4.1 install and one of the theme pages doesn't seem to be accessible via the lowercase slug - only when I use uppercase.
This is easier to show than explain:
This works: http://www.tnc-branding.com/wordpress/Clients/
This does not: http://www.tnc-branding.com/wordpress/clients/
The slug in wordpress is lowercase and worked fine on the old server before I updated to 3.4.1, but now is behaving on both servers (now running 3.4.1) incorrectly. Why can I only access this page when I change "clients" in the url to "Clients"? The lowercase is what's generated by wordpress so I can't just use the uppercase url.
I have tried deactivating all plugins to no avail.

You know the holidays are coming when the new Holiday Barbie doll is unveiled. 2013 marks the 25th year that Mattel has created a Holiday Barbie, and this gorgeous African-American doll proves that Barbie for the holidays is as stunning as ever in a beautiful gown of sparkling silver, the perfect costume for a silver anniversary. The full ball gown has a tulle overlay, which is a nod to the 1988 Holiday Barbie that was a festive red with a tulle overlay. For 2013, the dress is accented with a snowflake pattern and a snowflake decoration on one shoulder. The doll is accessorized with a simple high heel pump and sparkly lavaliere earrings. A doll stand is also included.
Barbie fans old and new will be thrilled to add this to their collections. Whether you open up the doll or keep it in its package, this is a stunning edition to a holiday Barbie collection or a great way to begin one.
The 2013 Holiday Barbie is part of the Barbie Collector Pink Label, which is targeted toward beginner doll collectors ages 6 and up. Of course, adult Barbie fans and collectors will want to add this doll to their collections, too.
Although a mint in-box Holiday Barbie from 1988 may be worth as much as $600 today, we always recommend collecting these because you love them rather than as an investment. Or at the very least an investment in the pleasure that this gorgeous doll will provide for this holiday season.

Firefighters called to Parker Tech Seal Division
Gothenburg Volunteer firefighters showed up at Parker Tech Seal Division Thursday to extinguish smoldering material in a blower fan.
Second assistant fire chief Chris Brede said the call came at about 11:15 a.m. and when they arrived, smoke was coming out of the blower fan on top of a cyclone.
"Some fine rubber dust on the sides inside the blower was smoldering," Brede said noting that sensors at the plant set off sprinklers that were already dumping water into the fan. "We put a hose up there and doused the water on the smolder spots," he said.
Brede said no one was injured and there was little, if any, damage.
"It was pretty well contained," he said.
Firefighters were on the scene about an hour.
When they left, Brede said plant employees were getting ready to start up the blower fan.
Brede said the equipment sucks up dust from the cutting of rubber O rings which is what the company manufactures.

Loved the place, the food the room, atmosphere, bedding, the room but no TV! That's a deal breaker for me. There was a I-Pad. What? We like to whatch the news. Relax in the room after the day and before going out to dinner. Maybe watch a show before bed. No TV No return visit.
