Great news for the Florida Seminole Indian tribe of Florida December 07, 2006 2:54 PM

Seminole Tribe of Florida buys Hard RockROBERT BARRAssociated Press

LONDON - The Seminole Tribe of Florida is buying the Hard Rock business, including its massive collection of rock 'n' roll memorabilia, in a $965 million deal with British casino and hotel company Rank Group PLC, the tribe announced Thursday.

The Hard Rock business includes 124 Hard Rock Cafes, four Hard Rock Hotels, two Hard Rock Casino Hotels, two Hard Rock Live! concert venues and stakes in three unbranded hotels.

With it, the tribe acquires what is said to be the world's largest collection of rock memorabilia, some 70,000 pieces including Jimi Hendrix's Flying V guitar, one of Madonna's bustiers, a pair of Elton John's high-heeled shoes and guitars formerly owned by Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Chuck Berry.

"This is a proud moment for the Seminole Tribe of Florida and for all Indian tribes," said Mitchell Cypress, chairman of the elected Tribal Council. "It is also an opportunity for the Seminole Tribe to diversify its business operations and help a very successful company to achieve even greater growth."

Cypress and Seminole Gaming Chief Executive James Allen said in a statement the tribe would work with Hard Rock International management to build on existing growth plans.

In addition to its two Seminole Hard Rock hotels & casinos, the Seminole Tribe owns and operates five other casinos in Florida. More than 90 percent of the tribe's budget now comes from gaming revenue.

Nearly 3,300 Seminole Indians live on and off reservations throughout Florida. Rank said it would keep the Hard Rock Casino in London but under the Rank Gaming brand.

"We have maximized the value of Hard Rock through this disposal following a thorough strategic review and competitive auction," said Rank Chief Executive Ian Burke.

The sale, which is subject to shareholder approval, is scheduled to be completed in March.

 Samm Simpson -- the Democrat running for Congress in FL-10, and the first federal candidate in the history of the county to get onto the ballot via petitions signed by the people -- invites you to an informative and entertaining afternoon at the Palladium Theater, 253 5th Ave. N, St. Petersburg on Sunday, September 10, from 2-5pm.
Samm will be reaching out to voters and asking for your input on issues vital in today's world, and nationally-known ex-CIA intelligence advisor to seven presidents Ray McGovern will be sharing his voluminous knowledge of the lead-up to war, the intelligence process in general, and our uncertain future as the work of the intelligence community is being increasingly politicized by the Bush administration.  (See video of Ray confronting Donald Rumsfeld here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1FTmuhynaw&NR)
 
Also joining us will be teacher, writer, and Tampa civil and human rights activist Pilar Saad.  Ms. Saad is a member and spokesperson for the Islamic Community of Tampa, and was caught in the cross fire during the recent conflict in Lebanon.
 
There will be lively discussion encouraged, with an opportunity for you to mingle with like-minded folks.  Cash bar available. 
 
The majority of the proceeds from the $15 ticket will go to Samm's all-volunteer operation, and will be invested in promotional materials like signs and bumper stickers, along with a targeted cable buy.
 
For more information, call Samm's campaign hotline at (727) 320-4502 or see her events page at http://sammsimpsonforcongress.com/events. 
 
Order your tickets online there, or call the Palladium Box Office at (727) 822-3590.
 
Come support this old style populist Democrat that we've endorsed and get more ammo as we spread the PDA agenda.
 
Hope to see you there.

MESSAGE; BOYCOTT NEW BIKER BAR @ BEAR BUTTE August 08, 2006 10:56 AM

Please cross-post and send to your friends.  If you host a group, add group to the share.  The important thing is that we get this message out to as many Bikers on Care 2 as we can.  I've gotten some good feedback on this, so I know it will work.  Aquine.

Sitting Bull

WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE BLUEBIRD CLAN AND THE BIG POND, APPEAL TO ALL BIKERS OF CARE 2, TO BOYCOTT PATRONIZING THE NEW BIKER BAR BEING BUILT @ BEAR BUTTE MOUNTAIN, STURGIS, SOUTH DAKOTA; A NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN SACRED SITE.

Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Black Elk and other widely known leaders sought visions here, and the trees are still covered with bright prayer cloths and other offerings of modern-day seekers. The Sioux call it an emergence site, where their prophet Sweet Medicine brought forth the cultural traditions of their people. Tribal traditionalists say many people are finding their way back to the old ways, which is healing the drug and alcohol addictions that have plagued tribes.

ADD YOUR GROUP TO THE LIST AND SPREAD THE WORD!!

Hope everyone is having an enjoyable weekend,

 A reminder that this Weekend (depending on your time zones)  marks the anniversary of the Atom Bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in 1945, which ultimately lead to 200,000 deaths; and as a World Peace Effort; around the globe, people are sending helium balloons and the like into the Air for the planet to view, in our advocacy for Peace.  So watch the skies, gather your balloons and let them fly!!

Featuring...

WORLD OF FAERIES AND FANTASY BY CARMINA B 

I'm an angel!

Beyond, beyond the mountain line,
The gray stone and the boulder,
Beyond the growth of dark green pine,
That crowns its western shoulder,
There lies that fairy land of mine,
Unseen of a beholder.

Its fruits are all like rubies rare,
Its streams are clear as glasses:
There golden castles hang in air,
And purple grapes in masses,
And noble knights and ladies fair
Come riding down the passes.

Ah me! they say if I could stand
Upon those mountain ledges,
I should but see on either hand
Plain fields and dusty hedges:
And yet I know my fairy land
Lies somewhere o'er their hedges.

-CECIL FRANCES ALEXANDER

The Exhibition will be showing from June 2 to 11

Many American Indians celebrated more than one New Year gathering and one of the most important ones was the Spring Planting New Year gathering when tribal members would gather to feast and celebrate along with lifting up prayers for a successful planting season and a good growing season..This event will be in a tent setting,by this we mean people attending this event will be required to sleep in tents only.. The event will be with dancing accompanied by drums,chanting and songs... There will be story telling craft instructions and of course lots of food..The camp ground has free canoes and there is a swimming pool and horse back riding available.. There wil be games for children based upon American Indian games.. This will be an excellent opportunity for those who love the great outdoors to camp in a natural setting and to recharge for the coming year.. The area we will be camping is in a natural wooded area with lots of wildlife such as deer, racoons, aramadillos, skunks, opossums, squirells and many species of birds to include owls,hawks, eagles, cranes,herons and many other birds.

.Many American Indian items will be for sale during this event..

We must emphasize  this is a sacred gathering and alcohol and drugs will not be allowed and anyone caught using either will be asked to leave and forbidden to return..There will be security patrols to provide security and anyone creating a disturbance will be asked to leave and will not be allowed to return..

WE will be posting updates apx every two weeks at first and more often as the date of the event approaches..

Please feel fee to contact us at tsuladesi@earthlink.net or silverwolf01@earthlink.net or call 910-286-4464 or 352-978-2977..

RSVP's are required so we will know how many people intend to attend this event..Each person attending this event must pay for their camping space one month in advance of the date of the event.. The campground mangement will not refund any monies paid within two weeks of the event..

We sincerely hope to see you at this gathering and if it is successful we wil have a main harvest gathering in the same location next October..

A big reminder THIS IS NOT A POW WOW ..it is a sacred gathering..So do not come to this event thinking you will see vendors or fry bread sellers..there will be fry bread there but it will shared free of cost..This  event is a pot latch style by this we mean each person attending is expected to bring some food items and help in preparing the food for everyone to enjoy.. Some people refer to this as a pot luck type event..

We hope to see you there..

Love and many blessings
