Using interviews with Tupperware executives and dealers from the early days and wonderful, little-seen footage of Tupperware Jubilees, this funny, probing program re-examines assumptions about American culture in the 1950s.
As a young mother at home in Detroit, Michigan in the early 40s, Brownie Wise contributed regularly to the Detroit News' "Experience" column, where readers, mostly women, shared comments about their lives.
Using the pen name "Hibiscus," Wise reminisced about her childhood in a Natchez, Mississippi plantation home. She also wrote idealized accounts of her home and family. Some of her writings for the newspaper column are excerpted below. The special poignancy of Hibiscus' descriptions is that none of them were true: in reality, Wise's origins were working class, and her husband was a violent drunk.
Brownie Wise's powers of imagination and positive thinking would help her escape her unhappy married life up North. By 1942, she would be divorced, and by 1950, she would begin her ascent in the world of Tupperware.
A Fantasy Home
Nancy my Dear:
I have done many things lately. I have moved into the home that "Coeur D'Alene" so graciously christened "Lovehaven" for us. The day before our material possessions were moved in, I went out and mentally moved myself in...
I let the door swing back, and I stood in the kitchen... so efficient looking, so sleek and shining. "That," I thought, "would look like an ordinary kitchen sink to anyone else, but to me it's a magic carpet..."
I ran ahead again and saw the nursery paper which tells the story of Peter Rabbit coming down from its wall to be replaced with a saga of trains and airplanes and boats and still later I saw a plaid or striped wall plastered with pennants and football schedules and athletes' pictures...
I walked through the whole house upstairs, downstairs, the basement, not looking at it as a house this time, a thing of stone and mortar and labor and money but as Lovehaven, which will cradle our love and our sorrow, our prosperity and weakness, our faith and our difficulties from now on...
Invented Nostalgia
I have done many things lately. I sat a few nights ago in a darkened theater and watched all the color and vivid beauty of Natchez drift across the screen in a movie short on the annual Natchez Garden Pilgrimage. There was something akin to a lump in my throat at the scene of the lazy river and the great oaks with their beards of Spanish moss, but there is no description for the nostalgia that swept over me at the sight of the homes along the Pilgrimage route. Just as it seemed that I could actually smell the magnolias blooming beside one of the picture porticos, a woman in front of me leaned to her companion and said, "That's where Hibiscus came from... I wonder if one of these houses is where she was born."
I wanted to lean forward and say "She was born in this one... and lived in it, and loved it, and romped all over the sweep of lawn with a shaggy Airedale named Chips. If you could walk through the screen, down behind the house you'd find a lovely grove of little orange trees where Hibiscus used to play with her dolls in the long, long ago, and where in her mind, she still goes now and then when things get confused and unhappy and uncertain..."
I have done many things lately; life is full and rich and beautiful to your --
Imagined Luxury -- and a Slave
These days take me back, too, to that great white house on the bluff at Natchez, where there's a flurry of excitement now. It soon will be time for the annual Natchez Pilgrimage, the re-enactment of life as it used to be, carriages, costumes, all the charms that can be conjured up, out of the past, and Grandmother's house will be among those open to visitors...
A voluminous affair of taffeta and lace will be pressed and prepared for Grandmother to wear when she serves tea to her special guests in the upstairs sitting-room. Ezra, whose kinky hair has been white as long as I can remember, will be straightening out chairs on the veranda, and muttering darkly about 'de Missus lettin' dem furriners come heah agin dis yeah and tram all ovah de place... right in de Massuh's own bedroom too... If'n de Cunnel wuz heah now, day sho' wou'dn't be no sech goin's on, no suh!
Through the great double doors opening to the right of the stairway, visitors probably will catch a glimpse of a sunbeam or two setting up highlights on the polished surface of the mahogany clavichord in the high-ceiling drawing-room. Identical double doors to the left will beckon into the dining room. Visitors moving the length of the table, admiring the fragile beauty of the English china, will look with somewhat startled eyes on the banquet table set with covers for fifty in this day of service-for-eight. Someone will stop to examine the Bohemian glass finger-bowls, and attention will be called to the 40-foot damask cloth, especially woven with the name of the plantation set in fine scroll in each cluster of roses.

Trying a New Ingredient
For our breads and rolls class, it is time for our mid-term project.Our assignment was to research any type of native bread that we were not going to make in class.The class is only half over and already we have made 60 different types of bread!So, finding a unique bread to research was a little difficult.
I came up with the idea of making Injera, an Ethiopian flat bread that has a sourdough taste.A few years back, my aunt took me to an Ethiopians restaurant for the first time and I tried injera.I love the texture and taste, and the unique way that they use this bread as a dish to serve food.
I thought that this would be an easy paper to write, seeing how injera is fairly unheard of still.But, when I started reading up on it I learned that injera hasn't changed much in the past several hundred years.So instead of just talking about the history I decided to try to make it traditionally in my own home.
You Want Teeth Flour?!
A traditional injera recipe is made with teff flour, which is a type of grass native to the northeastern part of Africa.Surprisingly, Whole Foods had a very small batch of teff flour.Unfortunately, it was almost $25 per pound!When I went into the store, I asked an associate about if they had it or not.The fairly old woman responded in a think Mediterranean accent, "you want teeth flour?!"Looking at me like I was a crazy person.I finally just walked up and down the flour isle about 5 times before I found it, on the bottom shelf, and only two bags left!
Teff Flour 1 lb.10 oz.
Water 3 lbs.5 oz.
Yeast 3/4 oz.
The method of preparation is fairly easy.Just mix all the ingredients until a smooth texture, and let ferment!The formula I would online is a very traditional recipe, and called for the mix to be fermented for a week in a calf-stomach.Ew!So, I put mine is a metal bowl and only fermented it for a day.
The next day, the mix has a very strong smell.Sort of a Everclear and moldy-bread smell, and had an oddly gray-beige color.The next step is to siphon off the muddy water that had separated from the top.Carefully trying not to spill any of the toxic smelling liquid on me.
Next, stir up the mixture again and prepare a large skillet for baking.Placing about 6 ounces, or about 3/4 cup of the batter in a hot skillet, wait until the top of the bread looks dry and spongy.Just slide it off the pan and eat!
During the cooking process, the horrible smell went away and was replaced with an amazing aroma of baking sourdough.I made up the rest of my batter and shared it with my friends.The injera tasted so good and it is such an easy thing to make!I definitely suggest making it sometime.If teft is too expensive for you, just substitute it for potato flour.This is also a great bread for people who cannot have gluten but still want to enjoy bread!
Happy Baking!

Utah Utes football notebook: Brian Blechen stung by a bee on opening day of camp
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah coach Kyle Whittingham has seen a lot of things in his extensive coaching career. However, on Thursday, something new happened — and it caused quite a buzz on the opening day of camp.
Sophomore linebacker Brian Blechen had a bee fly into his mouth early in practice and was stung as he swallowed it.
"It got him in the throat," Whittingham said. "It started to swell so we had to get him to the hospital. But he should be OK."
The bizarre injury, Whittingham added, was something new.
"Every year is a new adventure," he said. "That's a first."
Defensive coordinator Kalani Sitake also noted that Blechen is going to be fine.
"I wish the bee wouldn't have got him, but I guess everything happens for a reason. We'll just have to wait and see," Sitake said. "The good thing is it got other guys some reps. Blechen knows his stuff. But it would have been nice to have him here because I think he makes us that much better."
WHIT'S PLAYLIST: The Utes practiced with music blaring on speakers around the field. Whittingham chose the tunes, his favorites — all pre-Y2K classic rock stuff.
Whittingham said the music helps create a game-day environment.
"You don't play when it's quiet," he explained. "So we want to have that going on."
It'll be an every day thing in camp and perhaps the regular season.
While acknowledging it keeps things a little more lively, Whittingham said the intent is to be able to think, focus and react when there's distractions. The coaching staff decided to try it to better replicate game-day environments with background noise.
Whittingham jokingly added that he hoped that his choice of music would irritate the players, get them in a bad mood and make them work harder.
"It kind of faded out after a while," Sitake observed. "The only thing you've got to worry about is coach (Morgan) Scalley dancing if it's a cheesy song that he loves."
SCHOOL FIRST: Highly touted offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom missed practice to take a final. The senior is a chemical engineering major.
"That's the thing about opening up on a Thursday. You push the opening of your camp a little bit earlier and it runs into the end of summer school," Whittingham said. "So we've had to live with some guys missing practice today. There will be some guys missing the lift tonight and tomorrow as well. But by Saturday, all that should be settled down and we should have everyone here 100 percent of the time."
EXTRA POINTS: Wide receiver Anthony Denham, a junior college transfer, injured his hamstring. His status was not immediately known. "That was one of the major downers of the day," Whittingham said. "We'll have to go in and get it re-evaluated and see how long the downtime will be." . . . Sophomore safety Chris Washington is not on the 105-man camp roster because of a shoulder issue. He'll rejoin the team after the injury has time to heal . .. . Whittingham said offensive lineman Po'u Palelei, a junior college signee working on academic requirements, is a "50/50 proposition" to join the team.

Music Production Secrets: Larry Crane on Mixing
Pull more life and energy out of your existing tracks and create great final mixes. Producer and Tape Op magazine founder Larry Crane is back at Jackpot! Recording Studio in Portland, Oregon, to demonstrate mixing techniques that he uses when producing music for well-known musicians She & Him, The Decemberists, Elliott Smith, Jenny Lewis, The Go-Betweens, and Sleater-Kinney. First, learn how to set up a satisfying and efficient place to listen and mix, and get familiar with working with frequencies. Then Larry shares some of his mixing secrets, such as using compression to change drum sounds, using parallel drum buss compression, and cutting frequencies to clean up a mix. In the second half of the course, he demonstrates his sound processing secrets, like how to best use tape delay on vocals, how to create backwards reverb, and how to choose the right distortion on a bass guitar.

- My name is Larry Crane. I'm the editor and founder of Tape Op Magazine, and the owner of Jackpot! Recording Studio in Portland, Oregon. I put together this course on mixing in order to share with others some of the techniques I've learned over the years, that have helped me create great mixes. In this course, I want to show what can be done with existing tracks, in order to make them work better for the final mix of a song, and ways to prepare them or treat them, and to pull more life and more excitement out of tracks that you already have. I want to guide people through a way of setting up a good place to listen and work on your mixes and your recordings.
And I want to just start with some real fundamentals about working with frequencies. (varying sound frequencies) I really to focus on taking the tracks that you've already recorded, and bring those multi-tracks together, and create a great mix. ? Tell me, what do you see? ? To me, mixing is an art, and I'm going to show you some of my secrets for getting great mixes.

Product Description
From the Back Cover
"Thinking in Javashould be read cover to cover by every Java programmer, then kept close at hand for frequent reference. The exercises are challenging, and the chapter on Collections is superb! Not only did this book help me to pass the Sun Certified Java Programmer exam; it's also the first book I turn to whenever I have a Java question."
—Jim Pleger, Loudoun County (Virginia) Government
"Muchbetter than any other Java book I've seen. Make that 'by an order of magnitude'.... Very complete, with excellent right-to-the-point examples and intelligent, not dumbed-down, explanations.... In contrast to many other Java books I found it to be unusually mature, consistent, intellectually honest, well-written, and precise. IMHO, an ideal book for studying Java."
—Anatoly Vorobey, Technion University, Haifa, Israel
"Absolutely one of the best programming tutorials I've seen for any language."
—Joakim Ziegler, FIX sysop
"Thank you again for your awesome book. I was really floundering (being a non-C programmer), but your book has brought me up to speed as fast as I could read it. It's really cool to be able to understand the underlying principles and concepts from the start, rather than having to try to build that conceptual model through trial and error. Hopefully I will be able to attend your seminar in the not-too-distant future."
—Randall R. Hawley, automation technician, Eli Lilly & Co.
"This is one of the best books I've read about a programming language.... The best book ever written on Java."
—Ravindra Pai, Oracle Corporation, SUNOS product line
"Bruce, your book is wonderful! Your explanations are clear and direct. Through your fantastic book I have gained a tremendous amount of Java knowledge. The exercises are alsofantasticand do an excellent job reinforcing the ideas explained throughout the chapters. I look forward to reading more books written by you. Thank you for the tremendous service that you are providing by writing such great books. My code will be much better after readingThinking in Java.I thank you and I'm sure any programmers who will have to maintain my code are also grateful to you."
—Yvonne Watkins, Java artisan, Discover Technologies, Inc.
"Other books cover thewhatof Java (describing the syntax and the libraries) or thehowof Java (practical programming examples).Thinking in Javais the only book I know that explains thewhyof Java: Why it was designed the way it was, why it works the way it does, why it sometimes doesn't work, why it's better than C++, why it's not. Although it also does a good job of teaching the what and how of the language,Thinking in Javais definitely the thinking person's choice in a Java book."Awards forThinking in Java

It does not attempt to cover every nook and cranny of the standard libraries, and chooses instead to use the most important ones to illustrate how things work in Java, and to demonstrate instances of good object-oriented design and coding practices. The whole idea is that, once you understand the underlying principles of the language, you'll be capable of using the free Java API documentation without needing everything to be explained to you any further.
I have only two minor quibbles. One is that the examples he provides often strike me as overly simplistic. I understand the need to keep code samples short and sweet, but I find it harder to remember the significance or the relevance of a coding construct when it is just used to push around "dummy" data members for the sake of demonstration. Longer, more realistic code samples would have helped me assimilate and retain the material better.
The other quibble is that I find the wording of some sentences to be a little vague. I sometimes find myself reading the same sentence several times before I feel that its meaning is clear to me. But this doesn't happen often.
Some other reviewers have panned this book. Maybe they were expecting that learning Java was going to be easy. It is not and it never will be. If you feel that you have some understanding of how to hack in Java, C or C++, and now you want to become a skilled object-oriented Java software engineer (and you're willing to put in the time and effort required to achieve this), you will find this book to be worth many times its cover price.
This is also the only programming book I've ever found that discusses design patterns. An understanding of design patterns is fundamental to being a "real" programmer. The fact that Bruce includes a chapter on these patterns shows that this book is way beyond the "dummies" type of junk that's out there.
My one caveat: I would prefer that the example programs actually do something. It's fun to show how a vampire class is derived from Monster class, but I think that when things are that abstract it doesn't help the new user understand how to apply it in the real world. For instance, if I wanted to build a bunch of classes that could be filtered I might not "get" the idea that they should all be derived from a common "filterable" class. That concept is the same as monster and vampire, but I'm not sure it's quite the best way to present it.
Still, I give it a solid 5 stars. Every Java programmer should have it.

Product Description
Product Description
The Who's first album, mixed in stereo for the first time by original producer Shel Talmy, plus single sides. Disc two is a collector's dream, with more loads of first-time stereo-in fact, 28 out of the 30 tracks here are in stereo!-previously unreleased, full-length versions of The Good's Gone and I Don't Mind, an unspeakably rare, French EP-only alternate version of Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere and more.
The roaring, raging quartet heard on Who's Next, Live at Leeds, and Quadrophenia is scarcely discernable on much of this, their first album. But the Mod-fueled, American R&B-inspired sense of ambitious pop that powers A Quick One, Sell Out, and even Tommy isn't so hard to find here. This reissue not only expands the original with a bonus-disc treasure trove of 17 outtakes and rarities (including the Pete Townshend-penned, previously unissued "Instant Party Mixture"), but has been remixed from the original 1964-'66 session tapes by producer Shel Talmy and released in true stereo for the first time. Anchored by early Who/Townshend anthems "My Generation" (also included in an instrumental version), "I Can't Explain," and "The Kids Are Alright," disc one's original LP set veers somewhat schizophrenically from Townshend's nascent power-guitar thrashing on the anthems and Roger Daltrey's ill-advised James Brown and Bo Diddley impressions on "Please, Please, Please" and "I'm a Man," respectively, to the surf-inspired John Entwistle-Keith Moon instrumental showcase, "The Ox." Not surprisingly, it's the Townshend originals (like "It's Not True," "Legal Matter," and the proto-psychedelic "Circles") that point to what the band would become in a few short years. The bonus material on disc two leans equally heavily on covers, but also contains its share of signposts to the future Who, including a rare, alternate version of "Anyhow, Anyway, Anywhere." Also included is a new booklet with many rare photos and a history of the album's recording by Andy Neill (coauthor of Anyway Anyhow Anywhere: The Complete Chronicle of the Who 1958-1978). --Jerry McCulley

Now about those "missing" parts.
There seems to be alot of people with ZERO knowledge of the 1960s recording process reviewing this album and saying such things as shame on The Who and their Producer Shel Talmy for releasing this Deluxe Edition with "missing" parts.
Well, let me enlighten you. Those "missing" parts aren't missing at all. They only exist in the MONO version. I'll repeat that; THEY ONLY EXIST IN THE MONO VERSION! The reason for this, those parts of the songs were dubbed (recorded) directly onto the MONO master. Those missing parts were NEVER recorded in STEREO to begin with back in 1965!
So how the heck do you expect them to be in the STEREO version?
If you like the MONO versions, stick with them but don't slag this album for having "missing" parts. There is NOTHING missing on the STEREO version of My Generation Deluxe.
However, The sound on this sounds compressed and somewhat muffled. As an alternative, would recommend The Who Sing My Generation, basically the same album with a slightly different track listing for more dynamic sound.
As far as the "missing bits", I'm not too concerned about them. Get "Rarities vol 1" for the 2nd version of "Circles" (I think that version's better anyway). Get the "30 years" box set for the double tracked vocal on "The kids are alright" -- you need the box set anyway. "La-la-la lies" sounds way better in stereo so I'm not concerned with the vocal gaffe. And the additions to this collection are wonderful. Love "Instant Party Mixture" -- it sets the listener up for the craziness of the "Quick One" CD.
Get that while you're at it. Heck, just get the entire Who catalog on CD. You know you want to.
In the late sixties and the seventies, British rock quartet the Who really made a name for themselves by shelling out some of the greatest songs in classic rock history. It was in 1965 that Keith Moon, John Entwistle, Roger Daltry, and Pete Townsend released their first full-length album, entitled My Generation. Read on for my review of this album.
The Who featured on this album may be the same four guys that would take the band to unrealistic heights in the late sixties and the seventies, but the band as a whole is radically different. This isn't progressive classic rock or one of those rock operas they would become infamous for - it's just straight-up sixties-style classic rock. There are also a few old rhythm and blues covers. If you're expecting the band's debut album to be something along the lines of Tommy, Who's Next, and/or Quadrophenia, you're going to have to change your expectations drastically. To put it simply, this is a pretty basic album, and like many of the sixties rock bands, there is some pretty heavy Beatles and Rolling Stones influence - the Beatles influence is particularly noticable on the hit The Kids Are Alright. And, of course, there's the title track which has gone on to become one of the most famous songs of all time, in any genre. The non-hit rockers are also good, but they're nothing too revolutionary. I'm not too crazy about the rhythm and blues covers, though - some of them just sound weird! All in all, this is a pretty uneven album, but it's still a good one overall.
Like many classic rock albums, this one has been rereleased as a part of the Deluxe Edition series.Read more ›

Medford, originally referred to as Meadford, was settled as a plantation in 1630 by Gov. Matthew Craddock. A historic city located on the Mystic River in Middlesex County, Medford gained fame from its clipper ships, crackers, and rum. The song "Jingle Bells" was composed here by James Pierpoint in the early 1850s. Many prominent citizens have lived in Medford, including Amelia Earhart, who moved to the city in 1924. Medford, part of the Then & Now series, connects this city's past with its present by comparing historic and modern photographs of sites such as the Royall House, Jonathan Wade House, and Peter Tufts-Craddock House.

I used A1 travel last year and booked over the phone through ice lolly, the sales agent was intelligent and helpful and the hotel and flight package the best value around. So i already know i can get a good deal, but this year i booked direct on their website and saved even more than i would have if i booked over the phone or used a third party website. Highly recommended for choice of holidays and value.

This version of How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria is interesting to say the least. Thus far, 4 of the top 10 girls have been eliminated, and the performances have run the gamut of outstanding and amazing to so-so and tiresome. Simon Lee and Elaine Overholt haven't always had the best critiques in terms of being constructive (read not harsh enough if needed), whereas John Barrowman has always had something to say if he felt the girls weren't performing like they should, which has labeled him the 'bad cop' judge. My thoughts on that issue are that he's been there, (judge, as well as leading man), so he knows what a leading lady needs to have to succeed, and if that means some harsh words, then so be it. How else will the girls learn and grow in their chosen profession if they don't have some harsh words to help them do so?
As for Gavin Crawford, at first I thought he was trying way too hard to impress not only the audience, but the judges. He seems to be growing into the role of host, but he's not quite there yet. On the note of the outfits of the girls, well, whomever the person in charge of outfitting them is, they are slowly getting better, because the first show was awful, and now, the outfits seem to fit better as well as look better.
All in all, I'm enjoying the show and looking forward to seeing who comes out on top and if they can handle the job they are vying for.moreless

The hosts were very accommodating and helpful in planning our trip. They even made arrangements to pick us up from the airport, which was a great help since none of us were familiar with the area. There was some confusion with the initial encounter to get the keys, but that was mainly due to communication barriers. Emil was very nice and had maps and suggestions for places to go to eat, shop, etc... For the apartment itself, you couldn't beat the location. It was very central to everything, so for that reason the place was ideal. The apartment was nice, though the building, entry, and stairwell were in severe need of some cleaning and painting. The initial entrance into the building was a bit worrisome and we were concerned that the apartment was going to be in the same condition. It was obvious that there was some renovation occurring in the building so that contributed to the conditions. Once inside the apartment, it looked very much like the pictures online. The decor was nice and there was plenty of room throughout the apartment. There was a loft area that had a large living area and two bedrooms, as well as a bedroom on the first floor. The sofas upstairs and downstairs could also be used for sleeping. It would be a great find for those traveling to Prague with multiple people. There is only one bathroom, though. I would definitely rent this place again, but hope that the renovations to the building improved the overall look of the place. Overall, it was a good experience.
The apartment and its location were very nice and welcoming. Olga welcomed us in her office and gave great advise for sightseeing and hidden treasures of Prague. We enjoyed our stay very much!
Nice place , clean and best area
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Lovely Flat and nice furnished and very clean, not even 5 minutes from Wencelas Square, Old Town within walking distance.
The landlords are really nice and give you loads of hints and advices.
the appartement has a convenient price but It lacks of tableware and some leaks appeared in the roof the raining days. No elevator (but second floor)
Very nice flat with short way to the City. Also Transfer from Airport was very easy.
An incredible flat, and amazing city! We had a really good time and we enjoyed it so much :)
Dear Emil and Olga,
We had a fantastic time in Prague and we were satisfied with the accommodation. The location was very good and the flat was clean, comfortable and well equipped. There is only a minor issue I would like to call your attention to. We received some recommendation from Olga for restaurants, which was very kind of her. However the restaurant called Beer Museum is a place I would never recommend to anyone. Both the food,and the service were terrible. There are so many nice places in Prague but unfortunately this is not one of them.
On the whole, Prague was a fantastic experience. Thank you.
Best regards,
This place is a good choice if you travel on a budget and you want to live in a nice neighborhood. It has everything you need for a short stay. The tram is five minutes away, so it won't be a problem if you want to go to the city shortly.
Rooms are clean.
One confusion with the vocabulary. In BrE the floor of a building at street level is the ground floor, the one above it is the first floor and the one below it is the basement, or lower ground floor in a public building.The apt. is on the ground floor but the street is quiet, so it was not a problem, just a suprise for us.
The sheets are clean but the bedding smelled funny and had damp-stains, therefore four out of five stars.

Good Luck to all Northmen teams at the 2016 Ontario Lacrosse Festival!
Game 1 - Friday July 22nd Windsor @ Orangeville - 8pm
Game 3 - Thursday July 28th Windsor @ Orangeville - 8pm
Game 5 - Tuesday August 2nd Windsor @ Orangeville - 8pm (if necessary)
All games at Alder Street Rec. Centre.
The game of lacrosse is steeped deeply in the historical past of this community, dating back to the 1860's. The Orangeville Dufferins won the very first Ontario Lacrosse Association championship in 1897, and repeated this feat in 1900 and 1901. In 1908 a member of the Dufferins, Dr. G.H. Campbell was chosen to play on the Canadian Olympic Gold Medal winning team. During this era local businesses would close their doors on the afternoons that the team played, and as many as 3 000 people would attend the field games.
Orangeville will play host to the 2016 Canadian Junior B Lacrosse Championship Tournament this August. This prestigious event will be contested over the course of 7 days from Monday August 15th to Sunday August 21st.

Additional Notes
Complaint: this experience was so absolutely horrible that I had to share it to hopefully prevent this from happening to someone else. My husband has perfect credit and was turned into collections for a debt that doesn't even exist without so much as a phone call from this company. They "supposedly" sent one letter to us, but we never received one. When I asked her why she didn't try to call us she just became combative and defensive. The owner of this business turned my husband into collections for $594 for an I phone that we already paid a reduced fee of $200 for. She stated that she has to charge us the $594 because that is what **** charged her for us canceling our contract 2 weeks shy of the 6 months that we agreed to. Her sales staff also failed to mention that even when we cancelled the phone line that we would be charged a termination fee even if we had cancelled on or after the 6 month minimum. In reality, the sales person failed to communicate that to us. I complained to **** corporate, they waived the cancelation fee, and I am assuming that it caused a problem for her. Maybe she lost her commision on it...I don't really know. I tried to explain to her that her sales staff did not explain things properly to us. She proceeded to tell me that it didn't m***er because she has a signed contract and that I needed to listen better. I spoke to **** after I spoke to her , and **** told me that was not the way that it worked. She was not charged for the equipment or penalized in any way for me canceling my contract. They also said that I should not be getting charged for that. I confronted this person about her unethical sales tactics and unprofessional behavior, she proceeded to personally insult me and combat everything I was saying. So not only does she expect me to pay a total $794 for a $594 phone, but she was insulting me and and proceeded to tell me to make payment arrangements with the collection company as if I was degenerate menace to society before hanging up on me, on top of it! She heard absolutely nothing that I said and just proceeded to defend all of it...even her nasty behavior and ***itude. Speaking to her was so upsetting that it triggered an anxiety ***ack for me. This was hands down the WORST experience that I have ever had with a business and probably the most traumatic encounters that I have had with a business owner. It was absolutely terrible from start to finish. The really sad thing about this situation is that it has made me NEVER want to deal with a small business again. At least If I make a purchase with a corporation there will be standards that the company has to abide by.
Desired Settlement: I would like for her to apologize for the way she treated me and speak to me like I'm a human being rather than a lower life form. I would also appreciate if she withdrew the charge from the collection agency that she turned him into. It should not have gone to collections to begin with because she didn't even try to communicate that there was a debt prior to turning it into collections.
Business Response:
***** ***** ******** ***************** *** ******************** ***** **** *** *** **** ** ***** ** ******** *** *** ********* ******** ****** ** *** ********* *** ********
On 11/5/2013, Customer ******* ****** purchased a **** **** ****** ** at the discounted price of 99.99 + tax ($105.79). Signed Invoice ***ached.

ICE Agent Allegedly Probed U.S. Citizen Child About 'Inappropriate Touching' During Surprise Visit
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Over the past two weeks, at least three immigrant families in the Latino-heavy Washington neighborhood of Columbia Heights stated that they received disturbing, early-morning home visits from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
One 11-year-old child, a U.S. citizen, said she felt uncomfortable when an immigration agent reportedly asked if she had been inappropriately touched and made her 17-year-old brother take his shirt off to inquire about his tattoos. A grandmother with legal status said that agents submitted her and her family to photographs, fingerprint scans, and eye scans without their permission. Another individual recently told CARECEN that her family had received an early morning visit from immigration agents.
From these visits, the Central American Resource Center (CARECEN), an immigration advocacy and resource center, reported that at least one legal immigrant was handcuffed before being released to go to work. Authorities reportedly refused to return his identification card. Another undocumented immigrant was taken and is now in an immigration detention center in Virginia.
CARECEN has since denounced the encounters as a "raid" because of the tactics used to gain entry into apartments that later resulted in the apprehension of suspected undocumented immigrants.
Unannounced home visits by immigration authorities are the stuff of nightmares for undocumented individuals whose fear of deportation is rooted in reality. Over the years, immigration crackdowns to root out suspected undocumented immigrants have happened with some frequency. It's happened in the form of a costly procession of too many agents descending on a worksite, at homes across the country, restaurants, and flea markets among other locations.
In March, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) boasted that it had arrested more than 2,000 convicted criminal immigrants in a week-long nationwide raid. Advocates have since criticized the raid because they don't believe it comports with President Barack Obama's policy directives of prioritizing immigrants convicted of aggravated felonies and some misdemeanor crimes.
ThinkProgress spoke with two sets of Columbia Heights residents who received visits from immigration agents at their homes on an early morning in May. Both sets of residents described agents wearing blue uniforms with the word "POLICE" across their shirts and an arm badge that read, "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" (ICE). Residents also stated that agents identified themselves as "police" and carried a red folder containing photographs of criminal immigrants.
'What's going to happen the next time they see us alone?'
Eleven-year-old Juliana Amaya was sleeping in the living room when she woke up to "soft knocking" at her front door at 6 a.m. "Who is it?" Juliana asked, emphasizing to ThinkProgress that as a child, she wouldn't open the door without asking first.
When Juliana opened her door, a man wearing a blue uniform asked why she, and not an adult, opened the door. Juliana responded that her mother was on the way home from the graveyard shift, her dad had just left for work, and that her 17-year-old brother was in his bedroom sleeping.
"Go get your brother," an agent told her, propping open the door. Juliana said that she rushed to her brother's bedroom to wake him. When agents saw him, one allegedly accused him of "smoking." Juliana recounted that her brother was asked to take his shirt off to explain his tattoos, "they cut off his fingernails to take his fingerprints," and "kept checking a red folder every time we answered a question."

Juliana said that she went to the kitchen to cry, but an agent followed her. "I'm scared [that] you're going to separate me from my mom, my dad, or my family." He "[took] ahold of me" and whispered, "has your dad or brother ever touched you?" Juliana said that she felt "uncomfortable" by the question and responded, "No, why would they touch me if they care about me and they're my family? If they had touched me, I would have told my mom or someone."
Agents questioned Juliana about a sister who had come across the border in 2007 and had been detained by immigration agents at the time. Juliana's mother, Maria Gonzalez, explained that the daughter had an order of deportation, but that she didn't live with them.
Agents left five minutes before Gonzalez walked back from her job to her two startled, crying children.
"I can't trust police anymore," Juliana said, reflecting on how she's fared since the raid. "They even said that we're under 18. They couldn't make my brother take off his shirt; they didn't have the right to do that. If there's not an adult with me, they can't just say that they're going to take him out. I can't trust immigration [because] I'm scared [that] my mom and my dad don't have papers. I'm scared that it'll be a problem if I'm left alone."
"Sometimes I have nightmares, but every time I tell my mom that I'm scared they're going to come again. Can Dad stay a little later? But my mom says that he can't because he needs to go to work. We have to have a roof over our top [sic] and I'm like, 'okay, every time I go to sleep, they're going to come.' What's going to happen the next time they see us alone? Do I open the door? What do I do? I'm just scared."
'He took me by the hand and took my fingerprints on a little machine.'

When immigration agents knocked and announced themselves as "police" on the other side of the door, Maria Isabel Guevara thought it was "really strange for the police to come to our house" at such an early time of day. She recounted, "I figured we didn't do anything wrong. … I let them in because they kept saying that they needed to talk to us."
Agents asked to speak with all members present so with the exception of the two small children under the age of two still sleeping, Guevara woke up six other family members, who came out to the living room. Two agents speaking in Spanish asked for identification from all seven residents.
"He took me by the hand and took my fingerprints on a little machine — it's like a telephone, but bigger and then the Hispanic took a camera and put it to my face to take pictures," Guevara said. She explained that with the exception of her son-in-law who's undocumented, everyone else has Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a temporary immigration status that allows beneficiaries to obtain legal work authorization but does not grant permanent resident status (green card). "They didn't get our permission. We were all afraid and scared because they said they came to talk to us, but they came to do something else instead."
"My son asked, 'why are you doing this? Are you immigration or the police?'" Guevara said. "They said, 'we're both.'"
After agents finished the fingerprinting and eye scanning process, they pulled out a red folder and asked everyone if they knew the person in the photo. One agent joked with Guevara if she needed glasses to see better, "but I really didn't know the person." An agent followed Guevara's daughter to a bedroom where her husband was sleeping. When he was woken up, Guevara said that agents handcuffed him and later took him to a detention center in Virginia.
"Because my son-in-law didn't have a warrant for him, wasn't convicted, and didn't have an order of deportation, I don't know why they came," Guevara said.
"My daughter is very sad and depressed," Guevara added. "[My son-in-law] has two small children that still don't know what's going on," Guevara said, before cooing over her three grandchildren between the ages of 11 months ("he's not walking yet") and 13-years-old Brandon ("he's very quiet and doesn't react").
"I'm really afraid now," Guevara said. "We trust the authorities because if something bad happens, they're who we turn to. But if we lose that, then we're lost. They really have to tell the truth, stating that 'we're here looking for two individuals' and not lie to us and hide these things. They should tell the truth."
Fostering Distrust
The D.C. Council approved a bill in 2012 to restrict the city police department from holding suspected undocumented immigrants in local law enforcement custody before transferring them over to federal immigration officials for possible deportation proceedings.
Confusing municipal police with immigration enforcement could seriously impact community safety. Abel Nunez, CARECEN's Executive Director, indicated that immigration agents wearing shirts that read "police" erodes the trust that the Latino community place in the municipal police. "If our community members begin to equate municipal police with immigration officials, they would be more hesitant to talk to the police, to open doors for issues that aren't related to immigration, but are just about public safety issues."
Nunez said, "When there is confusion about which agency is coming to your door, it does in the long run, impact the community's safety. For us, that's a concern because what we have to tell our community is not to open their doors to the police unless they have a warrant. Unless they can show proof that they have the authority to enter given to them given by a judicial branch of government."
"When this raid happened, we as an institution, are not questioning [ICE's] right to enforce immigration policy," Nunez said. "We may disagree on what that policy is, but we're challenging how [immigration agents] gained entrance. According to the testimonies, we heard they gained entrance because [residents] heard the word, 'police' and in terms of the treatment, we're concerned about it. Photographs and fingerprints were taken and if that's the protocol, we need to know that. We're concerned with how they operated once they were in the building. If they were looking for specific individuals, there was no need for that kind of treatment for folks."
Nunez explained, "It goes back to the level of mistrust that this has in our community. It also breaks down the level of trust that the D.C. police built up with the Latino community. This happened to documented individuals. The people, who were undocumented, like that young man, was taken away. But everyone else had some sort of status, like TPS, that allows them to be legally in this country so they should be treated with the respect that they deserve."
