Dr. Traci Bradford-Walker addresses the struggle of supporting her sister in overcoming mental illness through prayer and listening to the voice of God

Denver, CO (PRWEB) July 19, 2016

Dr. Traci Bradford-Walker’s new book, From Shattered...To Redeemed, ($15.99, paperback, 9781498460545; $7.99, e-book, 9781498460552) tells the author’s riveting true story – a journey of two sisters from physical and emotional abuse, and mental illness – and their realization of God’s power to bring them through life’s storms. This is an unforgettable fight of faith to help bring one sister back from a mind shattered with mental illness.

When Traci’s youngest sister, Gabby, was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, she refused to accept the diagnosis and this led Gabby to the edge of madness. Traci had no idea at the time what this diagnosis and her sister’s lack of acceptance would mean for the entire family. This book shows an inside view of the journey of a mentally unstable person who was healed. It reiterates that mental illness is common and should not be shunned but instead dealt with by society. This gripping and honest story will show readers how God brought Gabby out of the darkness of mental illness into His marvelous light of healing.

“I want people to know there is hope and healing from life’s devastating circumstances,” states the author. “When God heals, he touches every part that has been broken; mind, body and spirit. People are not alone and need to know it doesn’t matter where you start in life, what matters is how you finish.”

Dr. Traci Bradford-Walker is a Christian Counselor, Ordained Minister and Teacher at Emmanuel Christian Center, Aurora Colorado, and a humble and wise servant of the Lord, Jesus Christ. She is also a profound speaker, ministering primarily to women in the areas of mental health and healing.

She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, a Master's Degree and Doctorate of Ministry Degree in Christian Counseling. She is a first time author and heard God tell her one March day in 2014 that it was “time to write the book.” She and her sister Gabby remain very close and it was with her sister’s permission that she was able to write her story.

Xulon Press, a division of Salem Media Group, is the world’s largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 15,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order From Shattered...To Redeemed through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. The book is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

Schwanke-Kasten and Breitling will be at EAA Airventure Oshkosh for the 17th Consecutive Year

Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers will be partnering with Breitling at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh for the 17th consecutive year, presenting watches from Breitling, the Authentic Partner of Aviation in Hangar C, Space 3058AA.

Wilton, Conn. (PRWEB) July 19, 2016

Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers, Wisconsin’s only authorized Breitling Retailer, will be partnering with Breitling at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh for the 17th consecutive year, presenting watches from Breitling, the Authentic Partner of Aviation in Hangar C, Space 3058AA.

Breitling’s affiliation with aviation dates back to the early 1930’s when they manufactured on-board chronographs for aircraft cockpits. These instruments enjoyed great success in the various armed forces, including the Royal Air Force, which used them in World War II propeller-driven fighter planes. This solid connection to aviation continued, and in 1952, Breitling launched its legendary Navitimer watch, featuring a circular slide rule serving to perform the entire range of calculations relating to airborne navigation. This model shared the finest sky borne adventures and was soon chosen as the official watch by the AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association), the world’s largest association of its kind. It is still a favored iconic model for pilots today and is the oldest mechanical chronograph still in production. In 1962, Scott Carpenter wore a Navitimer on his orbital flight aboard the Aurora 7, becoming the first space-going wrist chronograph. Other favorites among pilots are the Aerospace watch, which was launched in 1985, and the innovative Emergency watch with a built-in transmitter that was originally introduced in 1995 and was recently updated to a new version that has the world’s first wristwatch with a dual frequency locator beacon (PLB). Most recently, Breitling released the Exospace B55, Breitling’s first connected chronograph that embodies innovation, functionality and performance.

ABOUT SCHWANKE-KASTEN JEWELERS: Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers has been family-owned and operated since 1899. As the fourth generation owner, we are true to keeping the integrity of a traditional jewelry store by offering an onsite gemologist, goldsmith, watch-maker and engraver, as well as having a professionally trained sales team. With stores in Whitefish Bay & Downtown Milwaukee, Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers is able to provide you with excellence in service, style and selection.

ABOUT BREITLING: A specialist of technical watches, Breitling has played a crucial role in the development of the wrist chronograph and is a leader in this complication. The firm has shared all the finest moments in the conquest of the skies thanks to its sturdy, reliable and high-performance instruments. One of the world's only major watch brands to equip all its models with chronometer-certified movements, the ultimate token of precision, Breitling is also one of the rare companies to produce its own mechanical chronograph movements, entirely developed and manufactured in its own workshops. This family business is also one of the last remaining independent Swiss watch brands.

With No Evidence Save Ethnicity, Media Says Nice Was Terror

$
0
0
If the slightest doubt remained that Western media defines “terrorism” solely as violence committed by people of specific ethnic groups and cultures, the reaction to the lorry attack in Nice, France, should have completely erased it.

On Thursday, July 14, the people of Nice were enjoying the promenade that stretches along the shores of the Mediterranean on the inner edge of the city’s crescent bay. At about 4:45 PM EST, during a parade for Bastille Day, Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel drove a white truck onto the boardwalk and drove for almost two miles through the crowd, eventually killing over 80 innocent people. News media was quick to jump to the conclusion this was a terror attack on social media. Without any indication of the motives, identity, or allegiance of the driver, international and national news media:
· Called the incident a “terror attack” at 5:44 PM· “’Terror’ truck attack” at 6:25 PM
Then, after his name- and only his name- was revealed:
· Called the attacker a “terrorist” once his name was revealed with no other information, at 6:29 PM· “Terror attack” at 7:04 PM· “Terror attack” again at 8:36 PM
And on and on. Fox News just went ahead and called its rolling coverage liveblog “Nice terror attack” and was done with the pretense of objectivity and fact gathering.Yet by 9:07 AM EST on July 15 at the latest, some 16 hours after the attack, it was apparent that Lahouaiej-Bouhlel’s motivations were unlikely to be related to religious fundamentalism. As The Telegraph reported:

Bouhlel is believed to come from a town close to Sousse called Msaken and has not travelled back to Tunisia in four years.

BFM TV reports that he was a divorced father-of-three who had become depressed following the breakdown of his marriage, reports Camilla Turner.

He was known to the police for assault with a weapon, domestic violence, threats and robbery but had no previous convictions for terrorism.

At 11:30 AM, The Huffington Post said that l’Expresse was citing sources saying that Lahouaiej-Bouhlel’s was apparently motivated by his anger and insecurity:

Another neighbour, also from Tunisia told L’Express: “On the Thursday night he was drinking with a colleague and they argued. His pal said ‘you’re worth nothing’ and he replied: ‘One day, you’ll hear about me.’”

By 3:23 PM, The Daily Mail was reporting that Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was at the very least not an observant Muslim and instead that he fit the profile of an abusive, angry man:

The 31-year-old - who wreaked terror on the Nice seafront as he turned an evening celebrating Bastille Day into a night of terror in which he murdered 84 innocent people - drank alcohol, ate pork and took drugs.

He never prayed or attended a mosque, and hit his wife - with whom he had three children aged five, three and 18 months - and was in the process of getting a divorce.


It’s hardly the behavior of a radical religious extremist.Further muddying the waters, no Islamic group had claimed responsibility for the attack (ISIS released a statement calling Lahouaiej-Bouhlel a “soldier” on Saturday). There was no indication at all that Lahouaiej-Bouhlel had any connection with any extremist groups, nor that he was in any way religious.

The BBC reported that French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was a “terrorist without doubt linked to radical Islamism in one way or another.” However, as The Guardian pointed out, “Valls said that he “probably” had some a link to extremism, but admitted the investigation has no evidence at this point.”

But that lack of evidence hasn’t stopped multiple media outlets in the west from continuing to report the incident as a terror attack.
· The Daily News told readers at 2:08 PM that “Car-ramming tactic used in Nice terror attack simple to pull off”· Mother Jones wrote at 2:10 PM that; “One day after a terrorist attack killed at least 84 people in Nice, France, French authorities announced that the man who carried out the attacks had never been suspected of terrorist sympathies.”· The LA Times asked “How many terror attacks can France withstand?” at 2:26 PM· A New York Times analysis posited that the “Attack in Nice, France, Represents Terrorism’s New Reality” at 5:19 PM and subsequently adjusted the headline to “Terror’s New Form: A Threat That Can Be Managed, but Not Erased” by 8:47 PM
All these reports came in after 2 PM EST, well after it had been established that the attacker was not religious and had no known ties to religious extremism; nor was there any evidence he was politically radicalized.So what is a terror attack to today’s media? What can we gather from the reaction to the Nice attack and the labeling of the event in the absence of any verifiable evidence of extremist religious views?

By process of elimination, we can reasonably assume the media’s definition of “terror” does not mean a mass killing of innocent people on western shores; if it did, the media would have called the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary and Aurora Colorado terrorism.

We can reasonably assume “terrorism” does not mean acts of violence taken out against the west for political reasons; if it did, the media would call Andrew Joseph Stack’s suicide attack on an IRS building in Austin, Texas, in 2010 an act of terror.

We can reasonably assume that violence done in the name of religious fundamentalism does not meet the standard for being defined “terror” by the media; if it did, the attacks on Palestinians by Israeli settlers in the name of Judaism would be called terrorism.

We can reasonably assume that violence done against people of a particular race or ethnicity does not meet the standard for being defined “terror” by the media; if it did, Dylann Roof and Micah Johnson would be called “terrorists” and not deranged gunmen or shooters.

No, the media definition of “terror” is quite clear: it means when an individual from the Global south with a Mohammedian name commits an act of violence against the West. As Jim Naureckas writes in FAIR:

It’s hard to escape the conclusion that… when the suspect is an Arab—Lahouaiej Bouhlel was a Tunisian immigrant—then allegations of terrorism require no evidence whatsoever.

That’s exactly right. That’s the rule. Religious extremism, even religious belief, political radicalism- they have nothing to do with it.

The action of “terror” is defined purely by the ethnicity of the actor.

London Bay Homes earns coveted Aurora Award honors for Mediterra and Naples model homes

London Bay Homes has been named an Aurora Award honoree in six categories in the annual Aurora Award competition presented by the Southeast Building Conference and Florida Home Builders Association, which honors architectural design, interior design and planning excellence.

Naples, Florida (PRWEB) July 19, 2016

London Bay Homes has been named an Aurora Award honoree in six categories in the annual Aurora Award competition presented by the Southeast Building Conference and Florida Home Builders Association, which honors architectural design, interior design and planning excellence. The competition draws entries from throughout the Southeastern U.S. and Eastern Caribbean.

London Bay Homes earned honors for a model home featured in Mediterra, the Capriano, which was recognized for best custom home in the 4,000 to 6,000 square foot category. Nestled within Lucarno – a village neighborhood inspired by the charm and classic style of Europe’s Mediterranean region – the four-bedroom, single-family luxury villa has won numerous awards.

The Capriano’s 4,402-square-foot open floor plan unravels from the foyer, sweeping from the great room, dining area and kitchen out sliding glass doors to an alfresco living area, where a trio of arches frame views of the infinity-edge pool and spa, fireplace and lake. An open staircase with decorative railing ends at a wet bar positioned to serve a second-floor loft and guest suite with balcony. An expansive sun deck offers a bird’s-eye view of the lake and gardens. The Capriano sold for $2.4 million prior to its completion.

London Bay Homes, which oversees sales and marketing for Mediterra, was recognized for best community site plan, an award the company also won in 2013.

Two of London Bay Homes’ fully furnished residences near downtown Naples also received Aurora Award honors.

The Anguilla model home, located in the exclusive Park Shore neighborhood, was recognized for best single-family detached home in the 3,500 to 3,999 square foot category. Open for viewing only 11 days before it sold, the Anguilla achieved the highest price per square foot in the Park Shore submarket in recent history, nearly eclipsing the $1,000 per square foot threshold.

The Chelston model home in Old Naples was honored in several categories, including best single-family detached home in the 4,000 to 5,000 square foot category, best bath over $2 million, and best interior merchandising of a home over $2 million. The three-bedroom, three-and one-half bath Chelston spans 4,227 square feet under air and blends West Indies and Old Florida-inspired architecture and design inside and out. The home offers a study, formal dining room, great room, first-floor master suite and a generously sized 1,284-square-foot second floor with a loft, wet bar and two guest rooms with walk-in closets and private bathrooms. Memory points throughout the model include unique furniture pieces, the great room’s ceiling with beams and grass cloth-inspired venetian plaster, the convenience of an office and pantry connecting the kitchen and laundry room, and a private garden from sliding glass doors in the master bath’s shower.

Island-inspired interior design by Romanza Interior Design features natural walnut wood flooring in main gathering areas, clean-lined British Colonial and woven furniture and accessories, and a vibrant palette of rainforest citrus, teal, coral, butter and eggplant against off-white backgrounds. The fully furnished designer home is located just blocks from the city’s famed Gulf of Mexico beaches and is one of several luxury models the builder is constructing from Park Shore to Port Royal.

Chosen from the elite pool of Aurora Award winners, Grand Awards will be announced on July 29 as a highlight of the SEBC, the southeastern regional conference and trade show for the real estate development field.

“Aurora Award winners reflect our industry’s best, brightest and most innovative architects, designers and builder/developers,” said Aurora Award Chairman Drew Smith of Two Trails. “We applaud them all, and we look forward to our July 29 celebration and recognition of Aurora Award honorees.”

Now in its 35th year, the Aurora Awards honor design and planning achievements in community and home design, green-built housing, site planning, commercial, retail, mixed-use development and specialty housing categories. Winners this year were chosen from more than 300 entries from across the region.

A leader in the Southwest Florida home market for 25 years, London Bay Homes has been named America’s Best Builder by Builder magazine. The company builds new luxury custom homes priced from $1 million to more than $10 million in many of the region’s most exclusive neighborhoods and communities. The company also builds private residences on individual homesites near downtown Naples, the Sarasota Keys and along the Gulf of Mexico.

Wonder Woman Nailed The Importance Of Representation Because She’s Super AF

If anyone knows how important it is to have women’s stories told by women, it’s obviously Wonder Woman. 

Gal Gadot, who will star as Diana Prince (also known as Wonder Woman) in the highly anticipated upcoming film about the superhero, recently sat down with Entertainment Weekly to discuss taking on such an iconic role. In the interview, Gadot touched on why it’s crucial to have a woman, Patty Jenkins, in the director’s chair. 

“I think it’s important,” she said. “It’s a story about a girl becoming a woman. I think only a woman, who has been a girl, can be able to tell the story in the right way.”

Gadot, a former combat instructor in the Israeli army, raved about her “curious” and “compassionate” superhero character. She said she felt “very privileged” to provide a role model for girls, something she noticed Hollywood lacked after an incident with her 4-year-old daughter, Alma. 

According to Gadot, Alma admires the bravery and strength of the prince in “Sleeping Beauty.” When Gadot asked about Princess Aurora, her daughter described her as “weak.”

“And I said why do you think she’s weak? And she said,’She’s sleeping the entire movie and the prince comes and kisses her and saves her. She didn’t do anything,’” Gadot said.

The actress noted that it’s about time women are represented in the superhero movie realm, especially considering the many male superheroes young boys can see as role models on the big screen. 

“They have Superman and Batman and Spiderman and the list goes on and on,” she said.” And they are strong and almighty and they are positive and active and proactive.”

Wonder Woman is certainly all those things, too, and Gadot is “honored” to be the woman to bring her to life. 

“I feel that I’ve got the opportunity to set a great role model for girls to look up to a strong, active, compassionate, loving, positive woman and I think it’s so important,” she said.

The Artist Who Asked For A Gun, And Other Crazy Backstage Riders

$

Historically, part of being a musician is the ability ― usually within reason, sometimes not ― to do whatever you want. Enter the contract rider, which, while detailing technical sound and lighting requirements an artist needs the venue to provide, may also include specific hospitality requests. Candy. Drinks. Seating. Room temperature. Some of these get very specific ― last year, the University of Oklahoma leaked Jack White’s rider that (absurdly) requested homemade guacamole prepared according to a very specific recipe and asked that no bananas be “anywhere in the building.”

We asked artists playing New York’s Panorama Music Festival this weekend to share the craziest rider requests they’ve seen so far ― with or without naming names. (Of course, someone asked for a gun.)

Here they are, in no particular order:

 

The Julie Ruin heard about a pinball machine.“I love that Ryan Adams travels with his own pinball machine and there has to be a place for it in every backstage!”

*Listen:* “I’m Done”

 

JDH & Dave P knew a musician who wanted their M&Ms separated by color.“M&M’s separated by color, clean socks, stamped postcards, cartons of cigarettes, you name it.”

*Listen:* “The Lab NYC Set”

 

 Flosstradamus was there when Dillon Francis asked for a gun.“Dillon Francis asked for a gun once and it was fulfilled in Wisconsin while we were on tour together. We ended up using it in the venue. Bad idea.” ― Curt Cameruci

*Listen:* “Prison Riot”

 

Grace Potter wanted a blow-up doll.“There’s a bunch. I won’t name names, but, yeah, a blow-up doll. And I will name names, because it was me. Yeah, we wanted to get a blow-up doll for ― it was somebody’s birthday. We wanted to have it set up, and we had to have the venue prep it for us because the birthday was in Alabama, and you couldn’t get blow-up dolls in Alabama, so you had to get it in a different city, I think.”

*Listen:* “Stars”

 

Tourist judged someone for their specific bottled water request.“I once observed an argument where someone demanded a specific brand of bottled water.”

*Listen:* “Run”

 

White Lung asked for a custom cake.“I heard that Juliette Lewis demands that she have a ‘big, black bouncer’ guarding her dressing room, but who knows how true that is. We once requested yellow roses, pink hand towels, lubricant and a cake that says, ‘God Bless White Lung.’ The cake was delicious.”

*Listen:* “Below”

 

Silversun Pickups wanted a framed picture of Björk.“A framed picture of Björk and a houseplant. I won’t name names but it rhymes with Riverrun Hiccups.” ― Brian Aubert

*Listen:* “Circadian Rhythm (Last Dance)”

 

Nathaniel Rateliff heard someone ask for caviar.*Listen: “*S.O.B.”

 

Rufus du Sol heard an artist ask for “a portrait of the band painted by a local artist.”*Listen:* “Say a Prayer For Me”

 

Preservation Hall Jazz Band just wants a lot of health food.“I’m actually impressed with how healthy the bands are we tour with. We always have roasted chicken and steamed broccoli on our rider. It’s important to be healthy on the road. The food we get backstage is usually the only meal we get that day, so it’s super important that it’s healthy. I don’t allow sugar, candy or cakes backstage! Is that strange? I think it’s smart.”

*Listen:* “That’s It”

 

Oh Wonder heard about “a February 1967 edition of Playboy.”*Listen:* “Without You”

 

Prinze George saw someone ask for a lot of ginger, but wasn’t into it.“Albert Hammond Jr. chops and chews on large quantities raw ginger before every show. Hadn’t seen that before. He said it’s good for the voice, and I know he’s right, but I tried some of his ginger after a show one night and had to spit it out. It was too intense. I prefer wine.”

*Listen:* “Victor”

 

Little Scream knew someone who asked for very clean ice cubes.“Diet coke with washed ice cubes. Who asks someone to wash their fucking ice cubes for them? I know who. But I’m not telling!”

*Listen:* “Love as a Weapon”

 

The Front Bottoms heard someone ask for “a Dairy Queen burger,” which probably shouldn’t exist.*Listen: *“Help”

 

Ex Hex knew someone who wanted a treadmill.*Listen:* “Waterfall”

 

Daughter just wanted to hang out with puppies.“We used to have a pretty sweet one. We used to ask people to bring their dogs in to visit us as an official rider request ... We never thought anyone would do it, but it actually happened one time, and it was the best day!” ― Elena Tonra

*Listen:* “How”

 

DJ Harvey wants hand towels and water.“Most of them are pretty strange actually, demands for all kinds of things. I ask for some hand towels and lots of water; it’s the tech part where mine can get interesting. A lot of DJs today are brats, won’t play if they can’t get the one mixer they know how to use, etc. I have preferences, of course, but at the end of the day if you can blend between the tracks you want to play, you use what’s there and get on with it. You’re there for the people, not the other way around, and to let them down over a bratty demand is not acceptable in my book.”

*Listen:* “Ray-Ban x Boiler Room 007 Milan Set”

 

Classixx borrowed the idea to ask for scratch-off lottery tickets from some friends.“Our friends, Flight Facilities, request lotto scratchers on their rider, which is a very clever idea. We stole that one from them, and it now resides on our rider. Some of our friends throw an epic dance party in LA and a classic house DJ once requested a fruit platter and MDMA. I thought that was an interesting combo.” ― Michael David

*Listen:* “All You’re Waiting For”

 

Caveman once envied another artist’s BBQ setup.“I can’t think of any really strange ones but the best backstage setup I saw was when we played a festival with the Deftones and they had their own grill and were barbecuing right next to the artist food spot and then had a massive sound system and bar in their tent. It was awesome.” ― Matthew Iwanusa

*Listen:* “Never Going Back”

 

Aurora has some strange ideas of her own.“I’m not that into the music world yet ― haven’t caught up with the latest gossip. BUT it would’ve been very strange if someone requested spoons that dissolve every time they get in contact with food and water.”

*Listen:* “Life on Mars”

The Panorama Music Festival kicks off on Randall’s Island in New York City on July 22, 2016.

The music, arts and technology festival Panorama kicks off this weekend on Randall’s Island in New York City with Arcade Fire, Kendrick Lamar and LCD Soundsystem headlining Friday through Sunday, respectively.

In anticipation of the festival, The Huffington Post asked musicians performing at the festival this weekend to recall the craziest things they’ve seen on tour.

Here are their stories:

 

-Aurora saw a man in panties playing an unusual amount of drums at once.-"I once saw a man dressed in only a pair of panties playing a thousand drums in a little one-man band. That was quite nice.”

*Listen:* “Life on Mars”

 

-Caveman had some unfortunate experiences with animals while driving.-"I don’t really know. We almost hit a deer once and somehow avoided it. A massive bird flew into our window once and it was pretty disgusting. We had a night off in New Orleans and got to see the band Night Wish. That was pretty crazy!” ― Matthew Iwanusa, frontman

*Listen:* “Never Going Back”

 

-Classixx might have seen Jesus.-"I once saw a guy walking down a very desolate stretch of highway. He was shirtless and carrying a gigantic wooden cross. I couldn’t understand where he was headed.” ― Michael David, co-founding member

*Listen:* “All You’re Waiting For”

 

-Daughter got confused by a sun that wouldn’t set.-"We once played a festival in Sweden and the sun didn’t set. It was surreal and beautiful; we stayed out all night confused by it!” ― Elena Tonra, frontwoman

*Listen:* “How”

 

-Ex Hex had a thing with a shrimp cocktail.-”It was crazy for me to see Lenny Kaye in person, but as far as wacky stuff, probably the shrimp cocktail in Porto, [Portugal].”

*Listen:* “Waterfall”

 

-Flosstradaumus witnessed a roundhouse kick in Russia.-”We walked out of the venue in Moscow and a dude got a roundhouse kick to the face right when we stepped outside. Never knew that move was used in a street fight.” ― Curt Cameruci, co-founding member

*Listen:* “Prison Riot”

 

-DJ Harvey always has a hard time switching from parties to lonely nights.-"So many crazy stories. Honestly, though, the thing about touring that is the weirdest [is] playing parties and receiving so much love from people, being on such a high, and then ending up solo in a hotel room afterwards. I used to be a lot crazier on tour but I don’t want to implicate myself in any way.”

*Listen:* “Ray-Ban x Boiler Room 007 Milan Set”

 

-Jai Wolf almost crashed a car.-”Without going into too much detail, while supporting the last Gramatik tour, me and the Brasstracks guys almost crashed our car in some random town in middle America because we all got severe food poisoning from some questionable middle-America meat. That was scary.”

*Listen:* “Indian Summer”

 

-JDH & Dave P. made memories in Mexico.-”I can’t go into exact detail or names, but generally, the craziest situations have been in Mexico. Specifically, places like Tijuana.” ― JDH

*Listen:* “The Lab NYC Set”

 

-Little Scream acquired a giant baby costume.-”I just finished reading Steven Tyler’s autobiography, and nothing feels very crazy after that. For example, I’ve never had naked glitter-covered ladies hanging around my backstage that people are doing blow off of. My touring stories have much more to do with internal hilarity and in-jokes. For example, in my last band arrangement, my key player was a filmmaker who had just finished making a movie that had a giant baby costume in it as a prop. He didn’t have a proper keyboard case, so of course we were stuffing the keyboard inside of this giant baby costume. Sometimes my guitar player Marcus would put it on. He’s 6-foot-7. Pretty much everything is wonderful when you’re traveling with a giant man in a baby costume.”

*Listen:* “Love as a Weapon”

  

-Oh Wonder survived an 60-mph attack from an umbrella.-"An umbrella pole flew through the front window of our tour bus at 60 mph.”

*Listen:* “Without You”

 

-Grace Potter saw someone accidentally light their face on fire.-"I saw a lady catch on fire trying to show off [by spitting] whiskey into a fire one time. Yeah, I saw her face catch on fire. ... There are so many, it’s funny. Well, how about this one? We stopped at a Walmart, and everyone in the band and crew on my team bought these onesie nighties that are meant for little children and put them on and wandered around the store totally normal until we were escorted out. Were we escorted out or did we escort ourselves out? [Publicist: Well, I think we were escorted out but I think it was because it was closing or something?] Yeah, they found a gentle reason to get us out of there, but we were definitely milling around in children’s clothing.”

*Listen:* “Stars”

 

-Preservation Hall Band had a musical moment with a founding member of Grateful Dead.-"Watching our clarinetist Charlie Gabriel trade licks with Bob Weir was crazy ... Crazy in a beautiful, ‘I can’t believe this is happening’ way.”

*Listen:* “That’s It”

 

-Prinze George almost got lost in a ghost town.-"Twain Town in Missouri was probably the craziest thing we’ve seen on tour. It was a rest stop we made on the way to Chicago from Kansas. It was like a ghost town, super empty, and looked like something out of the 1930s. Isabelle [de Leon] and our tour manager were freaking out and didn’t think we’d make it out alive. It was pretty creepy, but I was into it.”

*Listen:* “Victor”

 

-Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats saw a couple doing a very intimate thing right outside their tour bus.-"Anilingus outside our bus, two days ago in Zurich. They had no idea that our bus was full of people watching.”

*Listen:* “S.O.B.”

 

-Rüfüs du Sol endured Russian cops storming a club with assault rifles.-"Cops in Moscow storming a club with assault rifles was pretty intense. They went behind the booth and had the DJ stop playing.”

*Listen:* “Say a Prayer For Me”

 

-The Julie Ruin has seen Kathleen Hanna tattoos everywhere.-”I didn’t realize so many people have [frontwoman and former Bikini Kill founder] Kathleen’s face tattooed on them.” 

*Listen:* “I’m Done”

 

-Silversun Pickups saw a burger truck engulfed in flames outside their show.-”Outside of our show in Sheffield in the U.K., a burger truck was engulfed in flames. People were cheering because they apparently thought the food was ‘shite.’ Also, I opened our bus door after a show in Arkansas and Judge Reinhold was sitting inside. No idea how he got there. Nice fellow ...” ― Brian Aubert, founding member

*Listen:* “Circadian Rhythm (Last Dance)”

 

-Lindsey Stirling had a driver who wove through traffic on the wrong side of the freeway.-”One time, we were in the Philippines [and] our driver went backwards in traffic. Traffic was so bad, we had a police escort ― basically a policeman on a motorcycle in front of us. But traffic was so bad, and we had to get to the airport, that he literally jumped through this hole in the median and took us onto the other side of the freeway so we could get to the airport on time.” 

*Listen:* “The Arena”

 

-Tourist had fun on a cruise ship.-”At Ultra Music festival, the back stage area is a cruise ship.” 

*Listen:* “Run”

 

-White Lung witnessed the disturbing disposal of a Saint Bernard.-”Our guitarist Kenny swears he saw a dead Saint Bernard flung on the side of the freeway once. No one believes him.” 

*Listen:* “Below”

Shah Rukh Khan or Hrithik Roshan - Who will play king to 'Padmavati'?

Shah Rukh Khan or Hrithik Roshan - Who will play king to 'Padmavati'? Sanjay Leela Bhansali is set to score a casting coup for his next, 'Padmavati'. The filmmaker, we hear, is in the process of finalising an industry biggie to play king to Deepika Padukone's titular character post Vicky Kaushal's exit from the project. Buzz is that SLB is torn between Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

*Also read: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next film on Alauddin Khilji and Padmavati**Shah Rukh Khan*

A source working on the project says, "Bhansali is looking for an established actor since it is a powerful role and will challenge Ranveer Singh's anti-hero, Alauddin Khilji. There has to be some chemistry between the actor and Deepika, especially for intimate scenes. Who better than an SRK or a Hrithik to play king Rawal Ratan Singh to the beautiful Padmavati?"*Hrithik Roshan*

Vicky, who was last seen in 'Raman Raghav 2.0' with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, was initially in consideration, but he reportedly lost out on the opportunity by revealing his association with the film early on. Some believe Deepika's reluctance to romance the three-film-old actor on screen led to his ouster. Bhansali then turned his focus to Hrithik and Shah Rukh with whom he has worked in the past.*Sanjay Leela Bhansali*

"The filmmaker seems to be favouring the Hrithik-Deepika pairing at this stage since their on-screen chemistry is unexplored. On the other hand, Shah Rukh has shown interest in the project. Bhansali is expected to take a decision shortly as the project is scheduled to roll in September," says the source.

A few reports claim Shahid Kapoor has caught SLB's attention too, but our sources say the contest is between Shah Rukh and Hrithik alone.

Bhansali's spokesperson, however, maintained, "There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the casting of Padmavati. This is to clarify that no names have been confirmed so far. An official announcement will be made once the cast is finalised."

The picture is sure to leave you amazed! You'll be surprised to know how many gifts Priyanka Chopra got!

Let the photo speak for itself!

*HERE'S THE PHOTO:*


 

A photo posted by Priyanka Chopra (@priyankachopra) onJul 18, 2016 at 7:36pm PDT

While sharing the photo, Priyanka Chopra wrote, "Feels like xmas morning.. But it's birthday night. Thank you all for the thoughtful presents gestures and messages.. I feel very loved... Even after a 16 hour day on set I feel so blessed and grateful. Here's to everyone who loves me and supports me. I am because of you. #blessed"

Fondly called as "Desi girl", thanks to the hit number from "Dostana", Priyanka has given critically acclaimed performances in movies like "Fashion", “Kaminey”, “Agneepath”, “Barfi!”, “Mary Kom” and “Bajirao Mastani”.

The National Award-winning actress, also a former beauty queen, has also impressed many with her act in "Quantico", in which she is seen as Alex Parrish, a rookie FBI recruit with a mysterious past.

Karan said he will be travelling to London for 10 days. “A trip to London has always been on my mind. It’s my favourite city in the world and it is perfect for our honeymoon and to take a break from work,” he said.

http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/jul/20-white_s.jpg

*Sonal Chauhan*'s dress is effortlessly chic and the overall impact striking. White accessories — watch, shoes and handbag complete the look.

We like!

*Tiger Shroff* wears white pants, which are mostly on the ‘not to wear’ list this season. With options limited for men, shorts with a white shirt or jumper work best.

*Sonam Kapoor* sports loose, flowy maxis, which are a timeless trend and a wardrobe must-have. But this length is one you shouldn’t opt for in this weather

*Lisa Haydon* shows us a cool, breezy way of wearing whites in the rain. What’s more, off-shoulder numbers are all the rage this season

*Masaba, Designer*
The easiest way to sport white is to incorporate it into your accessories, like an umbrella, a poly nylon jacket or raincoat. You can opt for white clutches/ totes. Loose, white sweatshirts and tees with quirky graphics or cool slogans are in vogue and work well. Avoid white bottoms. Sporting a monochrome look with black bottoms will exude a casual but chic vibe. If you want to wear a thick cotton skater dress, don’t forget to layer. Throw on a bomber jacket or a white waistcoat. Opt for natural, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen, which won’t stick to your skin.

*Rocky s, Designer*
The best way to wear white for men is to simply layer it and wear deeper tones underneath. Go with breathable fabrics like cotton, voiles and chiffon, but make sure the under-layer is not sheer.

A nice poplin shirt over a white V-neck t-shirt worn with linen or denim shorts are apt for the rains. Accessorising with white is hot this season. White wayfarers look cool on most Indian skin tones.

Slippers/ shoes made of waterproof patent are big too. If you are open to taking risks, complete the look with a white linen hat. Everything mono white is perfect this season.

Amitabh Bachchan had suffered a near-fatal accident while shooting an action scene for Manmohan Desai's 'Coolie ' in 1982, which took him several months to fully recover.

Amitabh Bachchan took to Twitter to share photos of him leaving Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai after the accident.

On seeing Big B's tweet, Sachin Tendulkar shared that he was 10 years old when Amitabh Bachchan got injured and that he had prayed hard for his recovery.

To which Big B replied:

While shooting for a fight sequence in Manmohan Desai's "Coolie" in Bangalore in July 1982, Bachchan was critically injured and had to be admitted to Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital. August 2, when he had shown signs of recovering from coma, is regarded as his second birthday by not only his fans and well-wishers but by the actor himself.

On Tuesday, reports surfaced online that 'Kabali' had leaked even before release.

Rajinikanth's fans were shocked to find reports which claimed that nearly 30 minutes of the film were leaked online.

The makers of the film, however, have clarified that the film has not leaked online.

Directed by Pa. Ranjith, the film also stars Radhika Apte, Dhansikaa, Dinesh, Kalaiarasan and Ritwika and Winston Chao among others.*Here's how 'Kabali' fever has gripped fans across India...*

Shilpa posted a barrage of tweets yesterday to express her ire:

>> Dread 2think wat normal people go thru. Wud NEVER send my ageing parents seeing @British_Airways apathy towards their flyers.

>> I rarely lose my temper, but even pranayama couldn’t save me or BA after waiting 1.5 hrs to check in. Just happy to be back home.. OM..mm????

>> Had an event 2 attend in mumbai tomw hence I made sure my staff made it or @British_Airways would be held responsible for me not showing up.

http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/jun/29-Nishikant-Kamat_s.jpg*Nishikant Kamat*

"My next film is a romantic one. I want to reinvent myself, so I am taking break for six months. I have not even taken a Sunday off in the last few years, so I need to slow down. So, right now it's a sabbatical for me and then I will start with my romantic film," Kamat told IANS.

As a director, Kamat has worked on films like "Mumbai Meri Jaan", "Drishyam", "Dombivali Fast" and "Force". He says he has unfortunately not made a film from a woman's point of view.

Asked why all his films have been from a male's point of view, he said: "During my theatre days, I have done all women-centric themes. I will make a women-centric film in future because I know this is one question even I have asked myself.

"Probably I didn't get the right script... It was such an honour to work with Tabu in 'Drishyam', but you need a substantial role for an actor of her calibre."

http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/jul/20-Katrina-Harshali_s.jpg

*Harshaali Malhotra* referred to *Katrina Kaif* as 'aunty' while wishing the latter a happy birthday on social media.*Katrina Kaif and Harshaali Malhotra*

The Bajrangi Bhaijaan kid, however, found herself being trolled. The aunty tag did not go down well with the star’s fans.

http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/jul/20-Saiyami-Kher_s.jpg*Saiyami Kher. Pic/Santa Banta*

Asked that since this film has been promoted as Harshvardhan's film from day one, does she feel sidelined. Saiyami told IANS: "He signed the film eight months before me. His journey has been completely different.

"And it is the launch of Anil Kapoor's son, so it's going to be the topic of discussion... It's a huge deal. When you talk about being sidelined, I don't think that's the case because if you are doing a love story, you can't sideline any of the lovers -- the girl or the boy."

Mehra's directorial is inspired by the tale of the legend of Mirza-Sahiban and is touted to be an epic action-romance set in contemporary times.

Saiyami said her family has supported her through her journey.

Co-produced by Clean Slate Films (Anushka's production banner with brother Karnesh Sharma) and Fox Star Studios, Phillauri is a fun-filled romantic Hindi film set in Phillaur, Punjab.

Directed by debutant Anshai Lal & written by Anvita Dutt, the film has a unique premise- it took almost 100 years, a crazy Punjabi wedding and rank strangers to complete this love story.

On Tuesday, reports surfaced online that "Kabali" had leaked even before release.

"These are just baseless rumours circulated for fun. There's no truth in reports that 'Kabali' has leaked online. Producer Kalaipuli S. Thanu plans to officially address the matter via a statement," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

Rajinikanth's fans were shocked to find reports which claimed that nearly 30 minutes of the film were leaked online.

Directed by Pa. Ranjith, the film also stars Radhika Apte, Dhansikaa, Dinesh, Kalaiarasan and Ritwika and Winston Chao among others.

In "Kabali", Rajinikanth plays a don who fights for equal pay rights for Tamils in Malaysia. Reported by Mid-Day 9 hours ago.
