Patna: The I-T Department has charged family members of RJD chief Lalu Prasad, including his wife, son and daughters, under the Benami Transactions Act in connection with its probe into land deals worth Rs 1,000 crore and tax evasion.
The Income Tax (I-T) Department has served notices of attachment of assets to Lalu's daughter Misa Bharti and her husband Shailesh Kumar, his wife and former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi, son and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav and daughters Chanda and Ragini Yadav.
The attachment notice, accessed by PTI, has been issued under Section 24(3) of the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act and Lalu's kin have been identified as "beneficiaries" of the benami assets.

The department has attached immovable assets such as land, plots and buildings in Delhi and Patna which bear a "deed" value of Rs 9.32 crore but the taxman has estimated their current market value at Rs 170-180 crore.
A total of nine plots in Phulwari Sharif in Patna, where a mall is reported to have been coming up, has also been attached by the tax department.
The department had carried out country-wide searches in this case last month.
Benami properties are those in which the real beneficiary is not the one in whose name the property has been purchased. Violation of the Act carries rigorous imprisonment of up to seven years and a hefty fine.
Tax department officials had said Prasad's kin held some of the properties under their scanner in a "benami" way.
The RJD chief, however, had sought to put up a brave face after the raids, saying he was "not scared at all" and would continue to fight against "fascist forces".
The BJP had also accused Prasad, Bharti and his two sons Tejashwi and Tej Pratap, both ministers in the Bihar government, of involvement in corrupt land deals worth over Rs 1,000 crore, and asked the central government to probe one such transaction in Delhi.

1. Caravaggio – a bit of a swaggering brawler by all accounts, but also a master of chiaroscuro.
Not only was he reputed to have killed a man but he himself also died under mysterious circumstances. A big influence in later years on Rembrandt and the like.
2. Carl André – famous for selling a collection of fire bricks to the Tate Gallery, he was tried and acquitted of his wife Ana Mendieta's death in 1979. He is still living today, some say that examples of his work would be better served at the local builder's merchants.
Lewd sexual acts
3. Cellini – Banished from Florence aged 16 for taking part in a fracas with others, he was later imprisoned for allegedly stealing jewels from the Pope. Accused of a variety of 'lewd' sexual acts he spent 4 year under house arrest. His passing in 1571 was celebrated with a splendid funeral.
4. Daniel Ballantyne – Here I am researching my new blog on Google when up popped Daniel Ballantyne. After 10 minutes considerable research I rejected my initial idea that this was the famous gym owner, but didn't twig until well into my first para that Daniel Ballantyne was a figment of the imagination of playwright, Philip Palmer – a forgery himself! (Daniel not Philip). So it looks like I can't include him in my list! Unless of course I fake it …
Condoms, knickers and empty cigarette packets
5. Tracey Emin – not so much a bad boy more an angst girl personified. Raised in Margate (home of Dreamland so she can't be all bad) she is well-known for her exhibit, 'My bed' – presented with used condoms, knickers, empty cigarette packets, sound familiar? She is now a Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy.
6. Egon Schiele – a student of Gustav Klimt, who when arrested had over 100 drawings seized for being pornographic.
He died during a Spanish 'flu epidemic spending his last hours sketching his wife who had died 3 days before him.
7. Gauguin – in an attempt to throw of the trappings of a conventional life Gauguin set sail for Tahiti. Returning to France 2 years later he started an affair with a teenaged girl and dressed in Polynesian clothing. Disillusioned with Paris society he returned again to Tahiti, where he experienced a period of great productivity. However ill health and pain dogged him until he died 8 years later possibly from a morphine overdose.
8. Damien Hurst – famous for preserving dead things he was later challenged in court for plagiarism. When I was at Eastbourne Art College I went to the butchers and made an eyeball sandwich, am I too late of does that still count?
9. Andy Warhol – an exponent of pop art, Warhol was famous for turning iconic American objects into art. His studio, the Factory, was renowned for its parties and filled to the brim with hip, bohemian artists of the time. Looking at today's fame obsessed society, his statement that 'in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes,' seems to have come true.
Chasing the nurses
10. Vincent Van Gogh – the son of a minister, Van Gogh once worked as a supply teacher in Ramsgate. His personal life was fraught with emotional turmoil, Margo Begemann, who he had intended to marry tried to kill herself with strychnine when both their families disapproved.
Troubled by psychosis, he cut off his ear leaving it as a memento for Gauguin. When committed to an asylum Gauguin wrote, 'he wants to sleep with the patients, chase the nurses and wash himself in the coal bucket'. The 113 year old Jeanne Calment, who met him when she was 13, described him as , 'dirty, badly dressed … very ugly, ungracious, impolite, sick.' What's not to like?

Thanks to PolitcsPA which had this up today, awarding Republican Congressional Candidate Raj Bhakta their prize for the "Worst Campaign Implosion of the 2006 Election Cycle" for his recent performance in Washington.
According to The Hill, Bhakta was noticed in Poste standing on a chair and singing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic". He then went on to call his opponent, Democrat Allison Schwartz "a liberal bitch", and declared that "I don't give a shit about the campaign" (good thing). Raj boasts about being on "The Apprentice", but I'm betting that today he is more fit to star in a revival of the MTV hit, "Jackass".

WNBA's Brittney Griner & Glory Johnson Arrested
Two Women's National Basketball Association stars, Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson, were arrested on assault and disorderly conduct charges after an alleged physical fight in their home Wednesday afternoon, according to a police report obtained by The Arizona Republic. Griner and Johnson, who got engaged last August, each apparently suffered injuries, including a possible bite mark and other injuries to Griner's hand and wrist, and a laceration on Johnson's lip. Several people tried to break up the fight, The Arizona Republic reports, but were unable to do so and then called the police. Bustle has reached out to Griner and Johnson for comment.
Police spokeswoman Lisa Kutis told ESPN there were no weapons involved and the injuries were minor, so neither Griner nor Johnson required hospital care. According to the police report, Johnson's sister, Judy Johnson, said, "We couldn't get them pulled apart."
According to the police report, Griner told officers she and Johnson were having "relationship issues." A verbal argument turned physical, and Griner allegedly nodded when an officer asked if things had gotten out of control. According to the report, Griner said:
It turned into a fight. Broke up. We kept arguing, mouthing back and forth, clashed again, separated us, clashed again, separated us, and here we are now.
Griner, who plays for the Phoenix Mercury, and Johnson, who plays for the Tulsa Shock, were scheduled to wed next month, ESPN reports. The 24-year-olds announced their engagement in a series of Instagram photos that were an inspiration to many who saw the two major athletes display their love for each other while being stars of a sport that isn't always necessarily openly accepting of gay couples. Griner wrote a memoir, In My Skin, that not only covered her background in basketball, but detailed the homophobia she faced as a lesbian playing the sport.
WNBA spokeswoman Dina Skokos said in a statement that the organization is aware of the alleged incident and is working with the two teams to obtain more information. Phoenix Mercury Executive Vice President and General Manager Jim Pitman released a similar statement, saying that the Mercury organization is aware and in the process of gathering more information and "will have no further comment at this time."
Meanwhile, Tulsa Shock President Steve Swetoha released a similar, but more personal statement expressing concern for Johnson's well-being. He wrote on the team's website:
We are aware of the reports out of Phoenix regarding our player Glory Johnson. We are in the process of gathering information at this time. Of course our first concern is for Glory's well-being and health. We are looking into the matter further and have no other comment to make at this time.

Black Bear Diner
190 Bullock Street
Chubbuck, ID 83202
Chubbuck, ID 83202
208-904-0702 http://blackbeardiner.com/
The first diner that would become Black Bear dates back about twenty years to California near scenic Mt Shasta. Bruce Dean (aka Sugar Bear) and Bob Manley (aka Papa Bear) began their enterprise with the intent of making good food at reasonable prices. They have apparently done quite well towards that aim. They now have about a dozen units in 6 Western states and are in the process of adding additional units in another two states.
This newly opened family style diner has a lot to offer from is spacious booths and scenic mountain décor to its friendly and very attentive staff. Entering the restaurant you notice the chain saw-carved black bears. They are the name sake of the diner and represent the forested mountains at the foot of Mt. Shasta where the diner chain was born. The bear carvings are done by Ray Schultz and the bears at each location are posed differently to reflect the uniqueness of the local surroundings. What is your take on the Chubbuck bears?
The menu covers are replicas of a newspaper from 1969, the decade of the founding of Black Bear Diner, featuring the major headline from way back then. The big news of the day was that "The Eagle Has Landed." Also featured are news item from Chubbuck, "The Chubbuck Days Parade." It also gives you something else to read, notably 1969 trivia. Open it up and you have the menu; it is divided into the three major meal periods, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each one offers the guest regular size portions but also a lighter selection as well.
For breakfast there are classic egg combos, pancakes, omelets and a breakfast burrito. On a diet? There are four other selections using egg whites. Fresh squeezed orange juice is offered all day, 16oz for $4.49 and 10oz for $3.49. Lunch offers burgers with fries served on a platter or you can opt for the more classic approach and have your burger and fries served up in a basket. You are offered Chicken strips, fish tacos, nine different sandwich combos from Turkey clubs to a hot Turkey sandwich and even a Cubano, a fire roasted pulled pork, ham, Swiss cheese sandwich served up on a soft Tribeca roll.
There are a nice selection of salads featuring a Bacon Cheeseburger salad, an Asian Chicken Cabbage salad and four others to choose from. Dinner offers "home style" dinners featuring homemade meatloaf, slow cooked pot roast or Dijon crusted salmon along with several steaks and ribs combos. You can get a Dinner Deal of Chicken and Waffles, a hot Turkey plate or herb crusted Trout. You can add soup or salad for $3.99 and a nice selection of "Extras" including but not limited to onion rings, baked potato and Italian Green Beans or a seasoned vegetable.
Black Bear features Java City coffee, assorted juices, Pepsi products and the usual selection of milk, teas etc. For dessert they offer you a nice selection of cobblers, cakes and pies along with ice cream shakes and treats.
I had the Old Fashioned Burger for $7.99 (A 1/4 lb. Burger and French fries, served in a basket – just like the good ol' days!) and my friend had the California Burger with Avocado and Jack cheese for $10.49 (All 1/3 lb. Specialty Bear Burgers are built with a golden brioche bun, shredded lettuce, tomato, diced red onion, dill pickle chips, mayonnaise & Thousand Island dressing.) Each order came with a generous serving of golden French fries. (Bob's Big Bear Burger and all specialty burgers are served with your choice of side: French fries, house-made potato salad, fresh coleslaw, green salad OR cup of soup. Substitute a Gardenburger upon request.) The burgers were good size with a nice char on the meat, the toppings were fresh and they did not skimp on portion size. You get unlimited drink refills for coffee, teas, soda products but not the fresh squeezed Orange Juice.
Condiments on the table include a selection of the signature hot sauces. Crazy Cuz is a Sriracha Chili Sauce, Baby Burin (perhaps a shortened reference to bruin) is their original Pepper sauce, Mama Burn is a Chipotle Chili Sauce, and Papa Burn is a Habañero Sauce. If you fancy any of the sauces there are available for sale as well as other souvenir merchandise.
During peak lunch or dinner times the noise level can become quite high but not to the point that you need to yell across the table. Please note they will sing and clap to you if it's your Birthday so if that's your forte by all means let them know. Also of note is they do not rush you as other eateries do, we lingered long after our meal was done and at no time did the servers act as if they wanted us to leave, on the other hand they kept refilling our glasses. I was favorably impressed with the offerings from Black Bear Diner and will be visiting again in the future; it is a nice place to eat and a good addition to our area.

Lead paint is still present in millions of homes. If your home was built before 1978, there is a good chance it has lead-based paint, and you may be exposed to it. In 1978, the federal government banned consumer uses of lead-containing paint. Lead from paint, including lead-contaminated dust, is one of the most common causes of lead poisoning. It can cause serious health issues, especially for children (less than 6 years old).
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), if the paint in your house is in good shape you, probably, don't have to worry about anything. But sometimes, deteriorating lead-based paint (peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking, damaged, or damp) is a hazard and needs immediate attention. If your income matches the restrictions, you may be able to apply for the "Lead Paint Safe" program in your city and get assistance to control lead hazards in your house unit.
EPA Contractors Lead Safety During Renovations Brochure
Although this is a very serious problem, nowadays, you don't have to spend tons of money in order to be safe. If your house still contains lead, you don't need to hire a "deleading" service. You just need to choose a certified company that can works where lead can be found. By renovating your unit, you are making sure your walls are encapsulated and it will be extremely hard for your family to get in contact with lead.
EPA Contractors Lead Safety During Renovations Brochure
Although our team can't remove lead from your house at the moment, our crew is certified by EPA with the "Lead-Safe Renovation for Homeowners" license, which means every single employee of Level Five Painting, LLC. can help you if lead can still be found in your house, in case if you live in Massachusetts and/or Rhode Island. Is extremely important to emphasize that a renovator's intent is never to permanently eliminate lead paint hazards or make a "lead-free" claim about a home, building, or structure. The "Lead-Safe" renovation service is an option that fits your pocket and offers another layer of protection.
Festool HEPA Vacuum used during Vinyl Siding projects
Currently, homeowners that face lead issues in their houses but don't pay enough attention to this problem, end up hiring painting companies that are not licensed which can cause bigger and even more expensive problems in the future. By hiring "professionals" that can't prove any "lead-safe" certifications, you and your beloved ones are exposed daily to risks of lead-poisoning, by inhaling and/or eating it.

Sorry to anyone who was waiting for me to get the second half of this uploaded over the weekend, but some unforeseen circumstances led to me much busier throughout labour day weekend, but I still have the second part of my interview with Katie Broadhead, where we discuss her major in university and what made her choose that path, as well as her own blog. Once again I want to thank Katie for being such an awesome person to interview and I hope the readers enjoy. As a side note this part of the interview was actually done first, but I felt like the section on starting a new school year and being new to the city would be a better fit over labour day weekend.
Jon: Hello
Katie: Hello
Jon: So we'll start with your name
Katie: My name is Katelyn Marie Broadhead, but I go by Katie have my whole life.
Jon: So I want to start with some context, so if you could briefly describe who you are?
Katie: Who I am um… I guess I'll go with basic stuff. I'm a university student at the University of Alberta, I'm in secondary education which means I want to be a high school teacher. I focus on English because I've always really loved to write and I love the ability that literature gives you to capture the human experience and study it, right now I've been at home for the summer in Stirling, Alberta, worked at the store in town and I say the store because there is only one. I guess I'm LDS, I grew up with the religion I was born into it, my family has pretty much been Mormon since they came over from England so very very Mormon.
Jon: Thank you for answering half of my questions in a single go.
Katie: I can expand!
Jon: No worries, next if you could describe what it's like to grow up in a small town like Stirling?
Katie: Yeah ok, I was actually born in Cardston, Alberta but my earliest memories are in Calgary for a little while, probably two years we lived in Calgary so kinda my first experiences growing up were in a city so when I moved to Stirling I just remember how much of a shock that was, we pulled into town and everyone waves at you and at first we thought that was so weird cause we didn't have any idea who these people were, but it really kinda spoke to what kind of place it was, like even if they didn't know you they were going to get to know you.
Jon: Even if they never got to know you they assumed you were friendly enough to wave to.
Katie: Yeah, I would say that getting to grow up in a small town it's really great you get to grow up pretty good and slow and there's a lot of this sense of freedom because it was like the pool was only a dollar to get in so you'd find a loonie in the morning, play in the park for a few hours, then go to the pool for a while, leave and play at the park for a bit longer and then be home when it got dark, other than that though it was prerogative what you got to do. So I actually really liked it, it wasn't until Junior High that I, and I think this is a common experience, started to resent it I mean kinda like a child yelling at their parents that they're ruining their life.
Jon: We all have those angsty moments.
Katie: Yeah like, Ahh you're holding me back and I'd be so great if it wasn't for this place. Overall though I look back and really appreciate, I grew up I went to high school with the same people I grew up with so you really have this strong sense of family with your community and you have a sense of home that extends past a place or house. Like the whole community is your home, the people you grew up with, the places and the streets. You have deep roots given to you really early on.
Jon: I think that everyone strives to build that sense of community somewhere whether it's the place they live or around the profession they choose, people try to build that community around them. I actually want to step back for a second since you mentioned briefly that you got to grow up slowly and I just wanted to clarify what you mean by that?
Katie: I feel like in cities or places like that, I guess I just grew up in a pretty Mormon community and a community where you're not exposed to a lot of different experiences so you're allowed to just be a child and grow up playing and that's what I experienced growing up playing outside and building forts and you have a childhood.
Jon: So you got to appreciate the innocence of childhood rather than being forced into the adult world at a very early age?
Katie: and now especially, and this isn't just in cities but I feel like kids are trying really hard to be grown-ups, like twelve year olds have boyfriends, they have phones, but realistically I was still playing Barbie's when I was twelve years old. So there's that sense of just being able to have a simple childhood. Like kids have Wii and go to movies and I had a backyard we played in for hours at a time so we had to create the world we played in when all you have is a pool and a park.
Jon: So after growing up in Stirling and finishing High School you began attending the University of Alberta the following fall, what influenced your decision to attend that school?
Katie: I get this question a lot, because there's the U of L, the Univeristy of Lethbridge which is only twenty minutes from where I grew up and especially with its education program that's really good, but when I was in grade twelve I was in this stage where I resented small towns and all you want is to get out of this small town so Edmonton was far enough away at seven hours, but still close enough that I could be close to my family. It was also the city and it was new. Like I know myself well enough to know that I don't always push myself so I knew if I stayed here I would hang out with the same people I always did, do the same things I always did, live at home still, I wouldn't get that new experience that I was needing.
Jon: So it was more of the location and a desire to grow as a person rather than a draw to the academic program?
Katie: Yes, the U of A is a great school, but it was definitely more the location rather than the school itself.
Jon: Cool, so you mentioned that you were focused on Secondary education meaning you want to teach high school, what draws you to education?
Katie: I think focus a lot on like, "oh you just teach English, you're just teaching science" but it's actually more, like I think teachers have the unique ability to teach people how to learn, Because school is really just a micro version of how the rest of the world works, and you have the unique ability to be there teaching people how to interact with the world, how to learn, to have an open mind. I'm majoring in English and that's what drives me, I really like English studies, I love literature, and I think that being able to teach people how to express themselves, to read, to interpret the world that's a really cool chance to have so that's what drove me to it.
Jon: So what draws you to High School?
Katie: I question that quite a bit actually.
Jon: Exactly because a lot of people think high schoolers are the worst to teach.
Katie: and they are, but I almost transferred into elementary because I had a job where I worked with kids and it's a lot of fun, but it (high school) is mostly a challenge and I think people discredit teenagers and say they're rude and snarky but you're catching people just before they go into the rest of their life. Like you really have a couple years where they are figuring out who they are, what they think, they believe in, so you have a chance to come in and have a positive effect on them and I think that's just really great.
Jon: So being able to help mold the future of society is a big draw?
Katie: I actually had a teacher that had a really good point. He was a psychologist, at least he wanted to be one and he kept meeting people and all he could think was, "If I had the chance to get to them sooner" before they had all these life experiences that were bad and so he became a high school teacher instead because you get to catch them just before they go out into the world on their own really.
Jon: Great answer, now I want to go back to your love of literature and where did that come from?
Katie: I've always loved to read, like I have a lot of memories of reading before going to bed and going to the library and just loving the chance to see lives outside of mine own and use that imagination. I also love to write, I used to sit at the computer when I was younger and just write stories for hours at a time, and they were terrible, but I got to express myself through the written word.
Jon: So in writing would you say you have any major influences? Who do you look towards and aspire towards in terms of your own writing?
Katie: I read a lot of blogs, and there are a couple of women who I follow who have a good balance or sharing their life with what they think and I really like their tone. I also really like blogs that are funny, and make humour out of their life. I also like authors like Stephenie Meyer, just kidding. I like Charlotte Bronte. Jane Eyre, she has a really good tone I like how her writing feels very honest and I really like that about her books that there's authenticity in them.
Jon: So beyond your own blog at Sarcasmandsentiements.wordpress.com do you have any other writing projects you are working on?
Katie: Not really, my blog is my main outlet for expressing myself to the outside world. I've always had a reservation about sharing writing, cause there is always the fear that something that sounds really good to you and you're thinking that it's just going to tear it up but then people read it… But I do like writing short stories a lot and stuff like that that I keep to myself for my personal enjoyment.
Jon: I get that, I still think it would be cool to see some of those short stories on your blog though. Unfortunately though we won't see a Katie Broadhead memoir anytime soon?
Katie: (With a heavy tone of sarcasm) As much as I think my life could benefit others and my struggles and I would just kill it, I don't think that's in the works.
Jon: Save it for a screenplay eh?
Katie: Of course
That concludes the section about Katie Broadhead's childhood adventures, love of literature and teaching. Again I want to thank Katie for being an awesome person to interview by giving really in depth answers to rather simple questions. I've linked her blog a couple of times in the interview, but I'll throw one more right here just in case you missed it, check out Sarcasmandsentiment.wordpress.com if you want to read more about Katie, and until next time have a stellar day all!

Mexican military and cartels get in a gun battle in the Mexican city of Reynosa…
January 6, 2019
Cartel gunmen and Mexican military forces clashed in this border city just hours before Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador visited Reynosa to push a new economic plan for border cities. The local head of the Gulf Cartel in the border city of Nuevo Progreso is presumed to have been killed in that clash.
The gun battle took place in the early morning hours of Friday when close to 20 SUVs with Gulf Cartel the Scorpions faction of the Gulf Cartel rolled into Reynosa as they continue their turf war with the faction called Los Metros. The two factions clashed in the city's eastern side, including various industrial areas and the neighborhoods surrounding the city's airport and near the international bridge with Pharr, Texas.

January 6, 2019
The annual Gallup Honesty and Ethics Poll was just released and the results show the most trusted profession -- ranked number one for an astounding 17th consecutive year -- is... drum roll, please... nursing.

(Other ratings they could have chosen were "average," "low," or "very low.")
Man sentenced to 15 years for sex trafficking minors…
January 6, 2019
While federal investigators identified five teenagers 26-year-old Toney Kelsey victimized, the Hartford Courant reports how witnesses testified that as many as 50 people worked as prostitutes for him.
Kelsey was originally arrested by Wethersfield police in 2016 after the discovery of minors being trafficked for sex at the Cityside Inn. Prosecutors say Kelsey recruited a 17-year-old girl to work as a prostitute and arranged to split half of the proceeds with her. He also contacted a 15-year-old girl using his Facebook account and set up prostitution appointments for her.
Kelsey has been ordered pay restitution to his minor victims and serve five years of supervised release after he finishes his prison term.

Have me back on the show when the e-mails come out, boy it will be so interesting because there will be prominent people in handcuffs. Prominent people in handcuffs once these e-mails come out."

For the first time in Tudor United SportsCar Championship history, the Prototype Challenge class will headline a multi-class event, at this weekend's Northeast Grand Prix at Connecticut's Lime Rock Park.
The 2 hour 40 minute race at the short 1.5 mile circuit will see the GT Daytona class join Prototype Challenge, with an expected total of 18 entries made up of 7 PC and 11 GTD cars.
Last time out, the GTD class was absent at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, but the PC battle was won by championship leaders Jon Bennett and Colin Braun of CORE Autosport.
The pair lead PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports' Mike Guasch and Tom Kimber-Smith by 10 points heading to Lime Rock Park.
"This will be like a homecoming for me," said Jon Bennett. "I grew up near the track, went to high school in Newtown and then to the University of Connecticut. As a teenager, I had a lot of fun driving to Lime Rock."
"It's neat to be the main show," said Chris Cumming, who pairs with Bruno Junqueira in the #11 RSR Racing Oreca. "It's always fun to compete for the overall victory, and there's also the potential of winning the overall pole. Lime Rock is non-stop action. There's not a lot of time to rest, and I expect it will be hot. It will be a fun race. The track will be very busy, and you will have to be patient in the traffic."
In the GTD battle, Christopher Haase and Dion von Moltke's Paul Miller Racing Audi leads the championship ahead of the Alex Job Racing Porsche of Cooper MacNeil and Leh Keen.
Currently, some TBA spots exist. Both Performance Tech Motorsports and JDC/Miller Motorsports have yet to announce drivers to join James French and Mikhail Goikhberg respectively. Whilst Wright Motorsports are on the GTD entry list, neither of their drivers have been decided yet.
Todd Slusher replaces John Falb to partner BAR1 Motorsports' Sean Rayhall in PC, whilst Dane Cameron fills in for Markus Palttala at Turner Motorsport who is racing at the 24 Hours of Spa this weekend.
The 2015 Northeast Grand Prix starts at 15:15 ET (20:15 UK) on Saturday, July 25. The entry list can be viewed here.

I found myself captivated by this cascading floor-length feminine sheer silhouette, fashioned with scattered gold-tone sequins that explode into a flurry of feathers.
It doesn't feel sheer for sheer sake, is the long and short of it.

This entry was posted on Wednesday, June 28th, 2017 at 1:05 am and is filed under Essential Oils. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can skip to the end and leave a response. Pinging is currently not allowed.
The price of essential oils varies from place to place and from time to time depending on their availability and their quality. For example, frankincense is harvested twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall. To make a long story short, the bark of the frankincense tree is cut allowing the liquid resin to seep out and as it hits the outside air it starts to crystallize and get hard. After one to two weeks, the hardened resin crystal can be cut off the tree and several different frankincense resins are produced ranging from the pure white "Hojari" which is what was selected for kings and queens to a low grade brownish frankincense resin that contains particles of the tree's bark.
The crystal resin then goes through a process where it is crushed into powder, put into an oil bath, and steam distilled to extract the oil from the crystal resin. That's why depending on the time of the year and the purity of your frankincense, you will pay more or less for the product.

He trains for the Olympics – the Santa Olympics.

Denial of disaster novel
I just sent a similar letter to Ms. Anneli Rufus, regarding her back-handed mention of my San Francisco earthquake novel, 1906, in which she claims my book was based on a movie treatment and inspired by Titanic. Her dislike for all historical fiction is well noted, but those facts are inaccurate and insulting. What I sold to Hollywood was a 38-page outline for the novel, of which six chapters had been completed. Selling unfinished and/or unpublished novels to Hollywood is not uncommon. I began the novel years before anyone ever heard of Titanic: the inspiration was Gladys Hansen's marvelous Denial of Disaster (1989), which disputed virtually all of the elements in the official records of the 1906 earthquake.
Critics are entitled to their opinions: they are also obligated to accurately convey fact, not fiction, in the underscoring of their vitriol. Taking the low road only puts you on the low road, and all alone at that.
James Dalessandro, San Rafael
Anneli Rufus responds
Obviously I did not mean to imply that Titanic inspired the plot of a novel about the 1906 earthquake, but rather that it spurred the novel's route to publication.
As Dalessandro has said in interviews, Titanic's runaway success inspired him to quickly adapt his then-embryonic novel into a film treatment which he offered to Hollywood production companies and sold to Warner Bros. After selling the film treatment, he returned to the novel, which he finished several years later and sold to Chronicle Books.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful evening with the local Repugs with us. My wife and I spent it at the Dummycrat headquarters in Alameda, so we were with a different group of party hacks. But it sounds like yours was the more trying, so we salute you.
As a former Republican, I now see that intelligence is no longer a requirement for membership in the GOP. "Baby killer" ???!!! Abortion has long been an old Republican liberty and practice. "We won the Cold War?" Excuse me, the other side unilaterally dropped out of the race. It was bankrupting them and came close to doing the same for us. They should have been wearing T-shirts that read "We Get All of Our News from Rush." Certified shitheads.
Again, thanks. It was agony, but then that's what you get the big bucks for.

Funwise, I beg to differ
This is a long-overdue response to Jonathan Kiefer's article about CDT's Superfest International Disability Film Festival. Although we welcome Express coverage of disability issues and events, we expect that the coverage will be accurate and fair. Mr. Kiefer's brief article is snide and disrespectful.
Rather than provide objective information that could inform readers about a community event, Mr. Kiefer's article is an exercise in negative assumptions and stereotypes about disability and about this long-standing and respected disability community cultural event.
In response to our impressive 24-year records, Mr. Kiefer writes, "an impressive distinction -- not because there are many such film festivals in America, but because people still seem to go in for this one. Funwise, this fest isn't exactly a barrel of monkeys." Without ever having attended any of the 23 prior festivals, Mr. Kiefer has no real knowledge about the quality of the experience, yet he serves up his prejudicial opinion that it is no fun, assuming, of course, that films exploring disability experience are necessarily boring or depressing.
He later adds, "Yes, you are allowed to be morbidly fascinated," exposing his biased assumption that to be interested in the experiences of people with disabilities is not simply a normal desire to understand other members of the human family but something darker, more freakish.
We believe that any good reporting should be devoid of language and attitudes that denigrate any group. It is no more acceptable to print "able-ist" writing than that which is racist, sexist, or homophobic.
We hope that you will make a greater effort to assure that reporters assigned to cover disability community issues and events take the job seriously, do their research, and leave their prejudices out of the story.

I would like to thank you for this e-mail and all its content. I know that you speak truth and I feel that you are led to say the things that were said through the direction of the Holyghost.
My name is Darnell, aka Alexander Missouriino of the Missouriino Family of Saint Louis in CHRIST! We are a Holyghost-led-and-anointed family that has, by the direction of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, been faithful and obedient to His will. We are Holyghost Rappers, singers, poets, ministers, and teachers of the word of GOD. Missouriino.org
We are a ministry that performs street ministry and Holyghost Rapping events throughout our city as a matter of fact any and everywhere we're lead. Please pray for our ministry that many souls will be won for His Glory. ... May God continue to bless you. Amen.

A ministry through clothing
I really enjoyed reading your article on Christian rappers. I can also personally relate to what the rappers are doing, because those of us in the Christian apparel industry are facing the same issues. But I think you hit it on the nail when you talked about this as being a ministry first. That's been the whole foundation of our business at Gospel Sports Wear. God gave me the vision of doing the clothing line to encourage people to read, study, know, and live according to the Word of God. Our desire is that people have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and that's when lives are really changed.
Keep those powerful articles coming and check out our Web site to get more on our ministry: GospelSportsWear.com

First Ebonics, now this?
That whole idea is outrageously unnecessary -- maybe even offensive for those who grew up in the sphere of hip-hop and call themselves intelligent human beings.
I grew up in the hip-hop culture, but I never felt the need to translate a Bible in "hip-hop" terms. I try to evangelize and exhort unbelievers and believers on a daily basis. Myself and the hundreds of believers I know have done fine in the suburbs of Dallas to the projects of Chicago, with our NEW AMERICAN STANDARD version.
I understand the desire to make things culturally relevant, but do it when it is needed and beneficial. And this does not meet the criteria for either. Why not use that same energy to teach kids in the 'hood how to read properly and exegete the Scriptures? This from the same area that wanted to bless us with Ebonics. It hurts to be a California native.
Greatly offended,

Want a part in Adam Sandler's new movie? Wear a push-up bra
Actress Rose McGowan was reportedly advised to show off her cleavage for an audition in an Adam Sandler film
If it weren't embarrassing enough for any actor to appear in an Adam Sandler movie, it turns out that the road to starring in one is also beset with humiliations.
The actress Rose McGowan was recently asked to audition for a part in one of the comedian's upcoming films, and claims she received the following note along with the script.
McGowan was clearly unimpressed with the advice. Whether or not the wardrobe was stipulated by "Madam Panhandler" himself, it's another bit of bad PR for the actor, whose last film The Cobbler was the biggest box-office flop of his career.
Earlier this year Sandler was criticised by extras on his comedy western Ridiculous Six. A dozen Native American actors, along with the film's cultural advisor, walked off set in protest at the film's disrespectful treatment of indigenous culture. One Native character was called "No Bra", which may also serve as a note to wardrobe.
In 2014, an actress called Katrina Day set up a tumblr account, Some Lady Parts, to highlight how sexist many casting calls are.
"I had people advise me not to wear my engagement ring while interacting with the industry because people 'wouldn't know what to do with me then'," Day told The Huffington Post.
"I watched double standards play out in classrooms where instructors would admittedly not give a damn how the guys were dressed, but nitpicked everything about the women's appearances. I had characters I was playing described to me by directors as 'hysterical' and 'f---able.'"

Focus features two in-depth reviews each month of fine art, architecture and design exhibitions and events at art museums, galleries and alternative spaces around Japan. The contributors are non-Japanese art critics living in Japan.
The Art & Architect Festa (AAF) is a Kyoto-based nonprofit organization established in 2010, with an executive board comprising architecture professors from various universities, led by Osaka architect Kohki Hiranuma. Intended to provide opportunities for artists, architects, and other specialists -- primarily graduate students -- to work on projects that directly address social and environmental issues, the AAF is engaged in producing exhibitions, workshops, and symposiums.
Last month the AAF held "U-30: Under 30 Architects exhibition" at the Design Gallery in the Osaka Design Promotion Plaza (an organization based in the Asia and Pacific Trade Center that provides business and technical support to newly established designers). Curated by Kikumi Furukawa, a member of Hiranuma's office, the exhibition showcased the work of architects still in their twenties. Furukawa selected seven individuals or teams: Yusuke Omuro (atelier Ichiku), Yusuke Fujita (Camp Design Inc.), Maki Onishi (onishimaki + hyakudayuki), Takashi Yonezawa (HAP + associates), Shuzo Okabe (upsetters architects), Shingo Masuda + Katsuhisa Otsubo, and Hiroshi Nishiyama + Keiko Okudaira (nishiyamahiroshiokudairakeiko).
Yusuke Omuro, a graduate of Tama Art University who spent two years working for Arata Isozaki, installed a full-size work titled "The cabins": four tiny plywood huts, each identical in profile but with depths that differ according to function. Yusuke Fujita, who established Camp Design in 2009 after working for two years at Tezuka Architects, contributed "Bare Room, Drop of city," a model of a hypothetical city comprising a table covered with volumes representing buildings, some of which are his own designs -- a mixture of realized projects and others that are still underway.
Maki Onishi completed her undergraduate studies at Kyoto University in 2006 (her thesis design project received third prize in the national competition for architecture graduates that same year) and is currently enrolled in the PhD program at Tokyo University. Her exhibit includes a model of "Double Helix House," a real commission, together with some theoretical proposals elaborating the same basic idea of a tubular space coiling around a rectangular volume.
Takashi Yonezawa, who started his office while still a student at the Nagoya Institute of Technology, has created an installation titled "noren" (the name for the small fabric curtain at the entrance to a traditional shop). It consists of hundreds of strings hanging from the gallery ceiling, their differing lengths cumulatively defining a set of ambiguous spaces. Yonezawa's project is nicely complemented by the adjacent installation from Shuzo Okabe, titled "TRAIL": a carpet of tall plastic fibers that were progressively crushed and flattened by exhibition visitors walking across them. Okabe completed a Masters degree in environmental design at the Graduate School of Media and Governance at Keio University and now runs an interdisciplinary office called upsetters architects, which aims to "observe the city and re-construct the cityscape."
Shingo Masuda and Katsuhisa Otsubo, who have been working together and in collaboration with other designers since graduating from university, contributed "Sun Behind the Shade" -- sectional models of a building in which double-layered walls block the window openings, admitting soft light but blocking views in and out.
Hiroshi Nishiyama and Keiko Okudaira began working together while still students at Kobe Design University, where they studied under Akira Suzuki, an architecture critic who has long promoted "building literacy" -- the notion that any person should be able to build their own shelter should the need arise. Titled "in the curtain," their installation comprises a collection of small, irregularly shaped spaces partitioned by diaphanous white curtains, in part a full-size reproduction of their own home-office environment.
Graduating into a seriously depressed economic situation, these young architects are working with the humblest of materials and methods, and presenting themselves with a similar degree of humility and self-effacement, right down to the affected preference for lowercase office names. There is an instructive comparison to be made with those architects who graduated twenty years earlier into another economic downturn, the aftermath of the collapse of Japan's bubble economy. Finding themselves with very little real work, the so-called "Bow-Wow generation" (a label coined by Akira Suzuki) looked outward, making an unflinching examination of the existing city, both physically and functionally. By contrast, this current generation is tending to look inward at the fundamentals of architecture itself, making increasingly subtle and delicate examinations of the potentials of spatial, material, and lighting effects.

How Online Gambling Began
How Online Gambling Began
Though many people can't imagine life without online gambling, it wasn't even an entertainment option until the 1990s. Online casinos started operating after both Barbuda and Antigua passed the Free Trade and Processing Act. Through the creation of this act Barbuda and Antigua were legally permitted to issue online casino licenses. At the same time, Microgaming was a company founded in order to create the software that online casinos would need to run their games.
To help advance online casinos Microgaming collaborated with CryptoLogic and created encryption software that would allow online casino players to provide their financial information without having to worry about it getting stolen or intercepted.
As online gambling grew in popularity the Kahnawake Gaming Commission was created in Canada. This gave online casino operators another option for obtaining their licensing. The same year, the first online casino was launched, though there is speculation that an online casino already existed at that time. The majority of those in the online casino industry feel that the first one was InterCasino, but it has also been suggested that Microgaming's Gaming Club online casino came along first.
At the end of the first year in which online casinos operated fourteen more were launched after the first one. The very next year the number of online casinos had risen to over 200. One year after that the total revenue all online casinos had generated exceeded $830 million.
The 1990s also saw the creation of online poker sites. By 1999 there were several online poker sites based in Costa Rica. The first online poker tournament was held in 2000 and kept growing from there.
While online casinos were popping up in the mid-1990s, those who prefer sports betting were hoping to be able to do so online. As a result, InterTops became the first website where people could engage in online sports betting. Once sports betting websites began to rapidly grow, many operators of offline sportsbooks created an online version for their members. To get more people to begin engaging in sports betting online many sports betting sites offered numerous generous bonuses and rewards to their members. As the popularity of online sports betting has grown the sites had cut back on the rewards and bonuses they offered. Even today, new online sports betting sites tend to offer generous bonuses to entice people to join.
In 2000 the world of online sports betting was expanded when BetFair.com began operating. This online sport betting site was the first one to allow its members to bet against each other on the outcome of almost any major sporting event. It wasn't until 2002 that sports betting sites made it possible for their members to bet on sports events as they were happening. Now players have the option of betting on live sports games on either their computer or mobile device.
Today, gamblers have many options when it comes to both online casinos and sports betting sites that have increased online gambling.

easy socks
This might be my new favorite sock yarn, Regia Design Line by Kaffe Fassett in color # 4259. These socks were so easy to knit and never boring because of the beautiful colors and varied stripes. Another gift is ready for wrapping!

Who fits these?
I like to imagine what kind of creature could fit into this tiny sweater and these long socks.
Felix has wanted a magnifying glass for ages, we found one yesterday at the swap meet. I called him an inspector; he corrected me by saying "NO, I'm a scientist!"
He doesn't like to wear socks, or shoes, but he really wants these pink socks. Sorry, son, these are for some one else. I promise to knit you a pair soon.

a few of the things that I'm working on and looking at...
I took this photo yesterday when the sun was shining. Today we have rain! Coincidentally, today I'm working with an entirely different palette, pale blue gray.
The shocking pink socks are my first pair of toe up socks.
I'm embracing the pool of this yarn but have to say I'm in no hurry to work a knit 2 purl 2 sock in the near future! Except of course for the mate. Darn, the mate!
Other objects in the photo are a magic treasures bag that I'm hoping my little students will make, garter stitch and felted coasters, a birthday invitation, and some vibrant yarns.
Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate the holiday.

thank you
Thank you for all the nice comments this past week. I've been busy knitting and taking care of this little guy.....
He had a touch of the flu this week while I was finishing a knitting project. One night, he woke up crying and asking for all his toys that I've made him. The ones that I couldn't find, he described in detail and made me promise that I would find them later, or make them again. It was so sweet. I feel like all the toys I've made for my son were really made for me because I love to knit so much; but knowing that he loves them too is the best feeling of all.

sock yarn bracelets
These bracelets are worked with scraps of sock yarn. The other bracelets I made were designed to teach the purl stitch to children, but these recent ones are worked in the round and should be a great project to teach knitting in the round on 4 needles. Besides, they are fun to knit and only take a few minutes.... half an hour maybe.

motif mania
I'm in that kind of mood where I could make pins all day, every day!

While my mom cooked dinner last night, I did some laundry and finished knitting the motif. On such a small piece of work, weaving in all the ends really wasn't such a big deal. I decided to toss it into the washing machine and felt it. What the heck.
This morning, Johnny stopped by the house with three lollipops.
Felix already ate all his Halloween candy, so this was a big treat. Oh, and inside each lollipop is a bug!

color and inspiration
Working with the kids at the Wisdom Arts Club has been such an inspiration. I've been drawn to bright colors all week.

intarsia motif
The motif is fromIcelandic Knitting Using Rose Patterns by Helene Magnusson.
The colors are inspired by the kids I've been working with at the Wisdom Arts Club.
I don't know if I have the fortitude to knit one of Helene's magnificent sweaters, but the small motif is a lot of fun to play with. We'll see about all those ends and how I'll deal with them. Something tells me I might just sew some fabric to the back of it.
A friend on flickr mentioned wouldn't it be great if the ends wove themselves in during the night. Isn't that a great idea for a knitters fairy tale?

knitting his way
While I knit something conventional and wearable, Felix occupied himself with creating an intricate web all over the house.
He told me that he was knitting a trap for his artist Dad. He also declared himself a top designer. "I am Top Designer!"
And, "I am the best knitter!" I was really proud of him, and didn't mind at all that he used an entire cone of fine mercerized cotton or that we spent 48 hours trying to navigate the web and tripping through the house.
Finally, he had to finish his homework. You can tell he wasn't that excited about it. Yeah, coloring in circles isn't necessarily as interesting as being a spider.

puppet and shrug
I'm wearing the Alpine Shrug from Rowan 42. It's knit at a smaller gauge than the pattern. I saw Celtic Cast On's shrug on flickr and loved the snug fit. Lately, Felix has been taking photographs. Some of them look really good. I asked him to take a photo of me in the new shrug. Not bad, right?
I'm pretty happy that I have a helper!
The puppy puppet is from JudyKits by Judy Head. I made it for Felix to help get us through these tough first days of school. He has a habit of being mad at me when I pick him up. Instead of running towards me and giving me a big hug, he yells at me! Yesterday, he started in on me and I pulled out the puppet and soon he was laughing and we were making up stories for the puppy to tell us. Felix named the puppet "Vulture".
I don't know where that name came from, but he seems very sure of it.
Anyway, I think it's one of the cutest toys ever! One thing I didn't take into consideration is that I would have to be a puppeteer, and come up with a Vulture personality. At breakfast this morning, I coaxed Felix into eating by having Vulture tell him how yummy the food was. Felix said, "hm, mom that's not Vulture's voice."

back to school
It's been a busy, and emotional week with the first days of school; rocky for both of us, but after a couple of tearful days, we are now easily saying "see you later".
The night before school, father and son did some serious doodling with brand new markers and notebook. When I think back to my school days, most of what I remember is doodling while dimly listening to the teacher.
To ease the separation anxiety, I knit Felix a little cat toy. He named him Captain America after a friend's darling black cat. I gave him the cat first thing in the morning on his second day. He was so happy; it helped getting him off to school that day.
The pattern for the cat came from Invisible Threads in Knitting by Annemor Sundbo. A knitter's bliss: a project that heals the nerves of two people and uses small left over bits of sock yarn.

yellow bird
Here's my first attempt at a bird toy. I'm pretty happy with her! The next one will have a wider tail and then I want to make some with color work. She's an easy knit for a knitter, but maybe too much for a beginning knitter. I tried a couple of super super easy bird shapes but they didn't please me. One attempt was a finger puppet that I think would work in finer yarn.
The alley cat that protects us from other critters is eyeing us very suspiciously! I tried to get the bird closer to kitty but she wouldn't allow it. Oh well.
And check out these moon jellies that we saw this weekend at the aquarium. Amazing! Ethereal! Mysterious!

Drawing is a way to create memories. Dreaming up hat designs, I imagined a sweet summer day, where two kids in whimsical hats played by the shore with paper boats. I wonder will their memories be the same?
Goodbye summer!

red shoe bird
I took my knitting with me to the park but decided to enjoy the lake instead. Funny, but my knitting bag was packed with yarn to make birds. In the car on the way over I wasn't feeling any bird vibes, but now, I have some inspiration for making birds with personality; as well as some fashion ideas. Maybe red shoes and a yellow hat will remind me of this duck when ever I need to remember a very good day.
Happy Weekend!

Real estate market in for a sea change:Price corrections are more pronounced in new launches than existing projects, which are mostly sold to end-users/investors and hence are cost covered, says Anuj Puri, Chairman, Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj (JLLM), India.
In a recent study conducted by JLLM, he has stated that the industry focus has shifted towards affordable housing and the margins are becoming thin on account of the high cost of existing land inventory (acquired during 2006-08) and the current cost of construction. JLLM expects Rs. 1,800-2,000 per sq. ft. as the bare minimum pricing level in the current market.

What is your take on affordable housing?You may have noticed that i have not written much about affordable housing projects in Pune real estate market. Except small posts about launching of Gera's Park View 1 at Kharadi and Sara City at Chakan.
First reason is most of these projects are just an announcements which are not worth considering in the present uncertain economic conditions. Project should have obtained all necessary sanctions - approvals and construction should have started on the site are my minimum expectation from the newly launched affordable housing projects.
Second reason is when i look at the planing and the features, i wonder exactly for whom these projects are planned? I do not find they are suitable for my readers!
Please, correct me if i am wrong and in the comments (Comments Policy), please, tell me your opinion about the recently launched affordable housing projects in Pune.
