Imagine in your worst dreams surviving the Holocaust and then in old age not having enough to eat.
That is what's happening to 140 Jewish senior citizens around the borough whose kosher Meals on Wheels program is in danger of shutting down because of lack of funds.
Known as Project Chaim, which means life, it is sponsored by the Queens Jewish Community Council in Forest Hills. Cynthia Zalisky, QJCC executive director, said the three-year-old program is not just geared to seniors who survived the Holocaust, although they do make up a sizeable number.
"Many of these people have no relatives and never had children of their own," Zalisky said. "They are frail and old and need our help."
The program costs $95,000 a year and was previously provided by a philanthropist "and now the funding streams have changed also," Zalisky noted. "It's a very expensive proposition for us but we want to keep doing it."
She noted that discretionary funding from elected officials "is up in the air," but that her group is going to them for help.
The city's Department for the Aging has a waiting list for such programs, Zalisky added, noting that the agency asked her group to sponsor it originally.
"We did a survey and found the average age of participants is 91 and there is a mobility issue. Most live alone," the director said.
She called the seniors "very vulnerable" and said delivering the food also provides interaction with them. "Sometimes we're the only one they see from the outside world."
A substantial frozen entree meal with a roll is delivered four days a week.
Zalisky added that her group "had a moral decision" to continue the program "and we couldn't refuse to help them." A pre-Purim concert fundraiser, sponsored by the National Council of Young Israel, in conjunction with the QJCC, was held at Queens College last Sunday and raised enough money to keep the program going through May.
The QJCC holds a fundraising gala in the summer and has sent out mail solicitations for Passover, asking everyone to help save the program.
Officials at CenterLight Health System, formerly Beth Abraham Family of Health Services, said they are committed to improving the quality of life for all New Yorkers in need. On hearing that Project Chaim's vital work was threatened by lack of funds, Michael Fassler, CEO of CenterLight, took the initiative recently and donated $5,000. Margaret Tietz Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, in Jamaica, a member of CenterLight, served as the backdrop for the presentation.
"Project Chaim was established in 2011 by the QJCC to fulfill our community's moral obligation to these seniors who sacrificed so much to keep kosher, but who now in their twilight years are impoverished, living hand to mouth and are cared for by non-Jewish home attendants," CenterLight officials said.
Zalisky knows the seniors depend on the program. "They have been forgotten and have lived longer than most," she said. "They are under the radar."
Persons interested in donating to Project Chaim can send checks to the QJCC at 119-45 Union Turnpike, Forest Hills, NY 11375 or go to QJCC.org.

I posted a message on Peonies forum asking if anyone knew if Weeblock was effective against Japanese Beetles. I had covered a row of peonies w/it in anticipation of building a wall next season. (The row was 12 feet long x 4 feet wide with just a slit for each of the 7 bushes). I noticed no Japanese Beetles when I usually thought they'd be out- 1st&2nd weeks of June. I thought that was weird- people said just wait until flowers are gone and then they'd be out. Someone else said it might take longer for them to emerge b/c once they hatched, they'd have to crawl at least 1 1/2 feet to get from under the weedblock. (If they chose the wrong direction though, they'd have 2+feet before they ran into another plant).
Flowers have been completely gone for over a week now and STILL not even a sign of ONE. I didn't use any insecticide or milky spore and hung 2 pherome lures which caught some which I think may have been flying past. Does anyone know if grubs were effected by last year's rain/cold (I'm in the Hudson Valley NY) so what I'm attributing to weedblock is actually a naturally phenomenon? Is it possible that I've killed off an entire season of beetles and stoppped the next generation of eggs being laid?!! |

My Mom's Black Boots And Dress.
I was about 12. I always got hard from seeing my mom in her black, leather, high heeled, knee high boots specially when she wore them with her black satin dress with red dots and no sleeves. I loved the way she looked. I had had wet dreams of her 3 or 4 times.One time I got home early from a party on a Friday night and my mom was having sex with her bf wearing those same clothes. She was bent over the kitchen table and as he went in she'd rub her booted legs and curl her toes. She was really enjoying it. And I came all over myself cos they never noticed I was outside of the house looking in from the dark.For about 2 weeks I would go into my moms bedroom and just stare at the boots and dress. Id get hard but I was son intimidated by them. They still reaked of hot sex.
One night my mom went out with her friends and she left me with a sitter. As the sitter was yaking away on the phone I snuck into my her room. I was nervous and my heart was pounding. I didnt know what was attracting me to her clothes. But I just went for it. I locked the door and took off all my clothes. I slowly put on her satin dress. That was the easy part cos it made no sound. Like I said it still had that combination smell of sex and perfume. And it turned me on.
The challenge were the boots and the sound the zippers made. They were so intimidating. My mom always felt so in control of her bf when put on her boots. I slowly and quietly zipped each boot down. The foot smell was also lovely. She would sometimes wear her boots barefoot.
I put on the right one first. It was a bit narrow and I was beginning to feel disapointed cos maybe my foot would not fit. But my it just barely went in. The came the slow and careful zipping. I was having trouble when it got half way through my calf. Again the prospect that the boot might not fit so disapointed me but didnt I give up. I mearely withstood the pain of how tight it was. And it was worth it. Pain or not I was not gonna be denied soo much pleasure.
Happily I was able to zip it all the way up to my knee. The second boot was the same. I had to be extra quiet cos the YKK zippers were a bit loud. As soon as the second boot went all the way up my c ockk just shot up! I had never felt soo much pleasure in my short life. god! It was awesome! I threw myself on my mom's bed and stroked myself. My penis had like a life of its own! It was shaking and I could feel all the blood and pleasure running toward the tip of my ****! I moaned! I was rubbing my legs and the sound of the leather turned me on even more. FInally it was just too much. All the *** came bursting out. Its like my penis had just exploded. Theres was sooo much *** on her dress, bed and boots. I moaned loud but the sitter just kept on yapping away .

I completely relate to this experience, as I had a very similar one to it myself. Thank you so much for sharing this experience.
I love the same thing. My mom's black heels and boots drive me crazy!

James B. Comey, nominated to be the next director of the FBI, will receive a payout of $3.07 million from hedge fund Bridgewater Associates LP if he is confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Comey, who left his position as Bridgewater's general counsel in January, would receive the money as a "full payout" of his interests in the company's profit-sharing plan, according to a questionnaire filed with the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Should Comey be confirmed by the Senate, the money would be paid "prior to the date that I assume the position" as FBI director, according to the 32-page questionnaire, signed by Comey and dated June 26.
Russell Sherman, a spokesman for Bridgewater, didn't have an immediate comment on the payout.
Comey, a former deputy attorney general under President George W. Bush, was nominated by President Barack Obama on June 21 to take over the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He is scheduled to testify tomorrow in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee for the nomination.
Iowa Senator Charles Grassley, the top Republican on the panel, has said he plans to look into Comey's work at Bridgewater, a Westport, Connecticut, firm that is the world's largest hedge fund. Grassley, who complimented Comey's work on national security issues and his independence, said in a June statement that he remained "interested in his recent work in the hedge fund industry."
Civil Liberties
Comey already is facing questions from civil liberties groups and some Senate Democrats over his role in the Bush administration's use of harsh interrogation techniques on terrorism suspects, as well as recent disclosures about the scope of the federal government's secret surveillance programs.
Still, lawmakers on both sides have lauded Obama's pick of a lawyer who also served as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and, after he departed the Bush administration, the general counsel of Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT:US)
Senator Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat and chairman of the Judiciary panel, called for the "swift and respectful confirmation" of Comey by the Senate. Comey, if confirmed, would replace current FBI Director Robert Mueller, who has held the job since September 2001.

Westfield Group (WDC)
PUBLISHED: 04 Apr 2012 00:05:10 | UPDATED: 04 Apr 2012 05:53:36PUBLISHED: 04 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 04 Apr 2012Bianca Hartge-Hazelman
Macquarie has downgraded Westfield Group to "underperform" from "neutral" as it sees little advantage for the group in pursuing a strategy of divesting its assets and joint ventures. The broker assumes Westfield will sell $US2.5 billion of non-core assets. The only real upside will come from Westfield's ability to secure reinvestment opportunities that can deliver an internal rate of return in the mid-teens. Macquarie has kept its price target of $9.12 on the stock.

In the end it was only me and God.
"Hi, God."
"Hi. Long time no see."
"The last one died, didn't he?"
"Yeah, yeah, the guy in the bunker. A descendant of Confucius, too. Pity."
"I remember him. When he was a kid I taught him how to shoplift. When he got a little older I taught him seduction. The first woman he seduced on his own was his speech teacher."
"That was back when there was plenty to steal."
"That's true. Say, didn't you try to do anything when they let loose the first viruses? I mean, didn't someone pray so that you'd stop them?"
"Somebody might have, but I didn't know what was happening in Vancouver 'cause I was in Odessa with a hot redhead. Actually, I thought that was all your handiwork."
"No, no, it wasn't me, just a bunch of Canadian graduate students and their petri dishes. My thing has always been corrupting minds, one by one. I never got into the mass destruction thing. That's your specialty, remember?"
God laughed; so did I.
We shared a cigarette and took in the view; we were on the top of a leaning tower that what was once called the Space Needle.
It took the viruses just three years to kill all life on the planet. Fires destroyed pretty much everything else.
The emerald city was now a big pile of ash; it was like that all over.
We had trouble keeping our cigarette halves lit because the fires depleted the atmosphere of oxygen. And all the smoke made the world a lot darker by blocking out the sun.
"I'll be going soon," said God.
"Where to?"
"Jimi's coming to get me."
"Oh yeah? I haven't seen your brother since Monterey. Tell him I said hi."
"Sure will. And I'm giving you this. I think you know what do with it."
With that God disappeared, just like Kara at the end of Battlestar Galactica. I knew I'd never see him again.
God gave me his hexagon. He'd shown it to me a couple of times before, but it was the first time I'd actually touched it.
It was black and had a cold, non-reflecting surface. It was about the size of a shuriken. It was scratched badly and its corners were rounded.
God said that when he was much younger, somebody he didn't recognize gave it to him. God was told that he was to lick each side of the hexagon; he did as he was told, and in a week there was Earth.
Jimi once called the hexagon "the genesis shuriken." This was before he went into the army.
I lit another cigarette and flipped the hexagon a couple of times in my palm.
It was my turn to be God.
I wondered if I could handle my new role. I liked being the Devil. Now I was going to be the one in charge instead of being the prankster, which by its very definition didn't entail responsibility.
Everything was going to be different now. No; I was going to make everything different.
Jimi's little brother tended to have terrible fits of fury, and on my watch I wasn't going to have floods and bolts of lightning. Since I was a girl, I was going to start the next round of humans with an Eve. And, I was going to allow giants to stay.
I was going to have fun and so would the world.
I wanted to work with the idea that the Devil is actually a role and that becoming one is a choice. So in this story we have a former corrupter of youth becoming God, which is probably the most extreme career change possible.

Harvey Gulf to sponsor Cassill at Homestead: Hillman Racing announced that Harvey Gulf International Marine, a marine transportation company that specializes in providing offshore supply and multi-purpose support vessels for deepwater operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, will sponsor Landon Cassill and the #40 Chevy at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Sunday's season-ending Ford EcoBoost 400. Founded in 1955 by Captain Numa J. Guidry on the premise that superior performance and safer operations provide its customers value and satisfaction, Harvey Gulf's trademark livery will be the backdrop of Cassill's #40 Harvey Gulf Chevy. "I met Shane Guidry and the folks from Harvey Gulf earlier this season and having them on the car this weekend really adds an exclamation point to our season," said Landon Cassill, the 24-year-old former development driver for Hendrick Motorsports and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native. "Harvey Gulf represents the ninth different primary sponsor that we've had this season and we couldn't have accomplished as much as we did without the help from all of our sponsors. From our 12th-place finish in the season-opening Daytona 500 to our fourth-place finish at Talladega just a few weeks ago, Mike Hillman and the entire organization put forth a tremendous effort to take this team to the next level. With the addition of Harvey Gulf this weekend in Homestead, we were able to secure an ECR engine package and we're looking to finish out the season strong as we continue to build for 2015."(Mike Hillman Racing)

Carsforsale.com to sponsor Hillman Racing Talladega: Carsforsale.com, one of the Internet's largest online automotive inventory websites, announced that the #40 Carsforsale.com Chevy SS will make its sixth appearance of the season with Landon Cassill and Hillman Racing at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series GEICO 500 on October 19. For the fourth and final superspeedway event of the season, Cassill will again pilot the same car he raced to a 12th-place finish at the season-opening Daytona 500 and later scored a career-best 11th-place finish at Talladega in May. Carsforsale.com offers a portal for the consumer to search millions of vehicles from over 17,000 dealers across the nation as well as a suite of dealer solutions for dealership management.

CRC returns to sponsor #40 with 1-Tank Power Renew: CRC Industries, Inc., manufacturer of industry-leading specialty chemicals for automotive service technicians and do-it-yourselfers, announced that it will exhibit its popular fuel system cleaner, CRC 1-Tank Power Renew, at the upcoming NASCAR Sprint Cup Series "IRWIN Tools Night Race." CRC will be the primary sponsor of the #40 CRC 1-Tank Power Renew Chevry for Hillman Racing and driver Landon Cassill at Bristol.
"For motorists that have seen a decline in their vehicle's power, acceleration and driving performance, CRC 1-Tank Power Renew is the best solution," said Louis Fresta, vice president of the CRC Automotive Division. "Its concentrated formula brings professional-quality strength and power to eliminate carbon deposit buildup with a single use."
According to Fresta, even top quality fuels contain impurities, and harmful carbon deposits can easily build up on fuel system components such as intake valves, piston heads and fuel injectors. Over time, the damage caused by these deposits may lead to a number of fuel system related problems such as hesitation, sluggishness, stalling, pre-ignition, engine knock and overall loss of power. CRC 1-Tank Power Renew fights the damage and restores a vehicle's power and driving performance while reducing harmful emissions and improving fuel economy. "More important," said Fresta, "CRC 1-Tank Power Renew provides considerable savings for motorists. While other fuel additives have to be used every time you fill up the tank to get the results they claim, CRC 1-Tank Power Renew needs to be used only once every 4,000 miles to clean your vehicle's fuel system completely. In other words, on average, it is sufficient to use CRC 1-Tank Power Renew three times a year as compared to using other fuel additives 24 or more times per year to achieve similar results," Fresta explained. In addition, the product has been proven to increase miles per gallon by up to 5.7%.
Landon Cassill, driver of the #40 NASCAR Sprint Cup entry said, "I trust the CRC brand and am happy to have CRC 1-Tank Power Renew displayed on my car. We have been using CRC's full line of professional automotive products for a number of years at Hillman Racing and count on them to keep the race cars in top shape for the track."
Extensive testing of CRC 1-Tank Power Renew in gasoline vehicles has revealed excellent results:
97% total power recovery
100% misfire repair
99% injector flow improvement
5.7% potential increase in miles per gallon
"CRC 1-Tank Power Renew is also available in a formula for diesel vehicles, and it exceeds the industry standard XUD-9 and new CEC DW10 engine tests," added Fresta. CRC 1-Tank Power Renew is available at participating NAPA Auto Parts Stores nationwide, Advance Auto Parts, AutoZone, Pep Boys and other quality automotive wholesale distributors and retailers.

"Landon is also a fitness enthusiast who embodies everything our brand promotes: hard work, positivity and determination. We look forward to working closely with him on his road to success."
Cassill has been racing professionally with NASCAR for seven years and was the 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year. He is currently training for Ironman 70.3 half triathlon to be held July 20 in Racine, Wisc. "Fitness is a tremendous part of my life and I'm honored to represent the Snap Fitness brand in the NASCAR Sprint Cup," said Cassill. "I'm also looking forward to workouts at Snap Fitness as I prepare for the Ironman competition and I look forward to helping them spread their message on fitness and living a healthy lifestyle."Hillman Racing), see images of the scheme on the #40 Team Schemes page.(6-20-2014)

Newtown Building Supplies Expands Sponsorship of Cassill: Newtown Building Supplies, Inc. (NBS), a premier source for windows, doors, siding and installation in Hampton Roads, Va., is establishing an eight-race NASCAR Sprint Cup Series partnership with Circle Sport-Hillman Racing and team owners Joe Falk and Mike Hillman that includes primary sponsorship of two cars at Richmond International Raceway in the fall. The announcement was made by NASCAR driver Landon Cassill, NBS owner D.J. "Jimmy" Rogers and Falk at NBS' Virginia Beach headquarters Thursday afternoon in front of employees, key stakeholders, and local media and dignitaries.
The partnership will feature primary sponsorship of Hillman's Racing #40 Chevy driven by Cassill for eight additional races and the #33 Circle Sport Chevy for the September race at Richmond. NBS made its NASCAR debut on the #33 Circle Sport Chevy at Richmond in April with driver David Stremme and further expanded the partnership with Cassill last weekend at Dover.
"I have watched Landon in his race car and spent time with him outside of it," said Rogers. "He is an outstanding young man and will be a great representative for our company as we expand into providing doors, window and siding to residential customers. I look forward to a great partnership between Newtown Building Supplies and Circle Sport-Hillman Racing."
"What started out as a one-race test program at Richmond in April has quickly developed into a 10-race partnership," said Landon Cassill, who last month posted a Sprint Cup Series career-best 11th-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway. "It's very rewarding because as an organization we've been fortunate to align ourselves with the kinds of companies that are willing to expand their participation in the sport. Jimmy Rogers immediately saw the power of NASCAR and how it can help grow a business with local roots in a sport with national reach. I'm looking forward to the next eight races with NBS and representing them on and off the race track."
NBS will sponsor Landon Cassill and the #40 Hillman Racing Chevy in addition to the #33 Circle Sport Chevy at these upcoming NASCAR races: Pocono in June, Daytona in July, New Hampshire in July, Watkins Glen in August, Atlanta in August, Richmond in September (along with the #33 Chevy), Dover in Septmber and Martinsville in October.(Mike Hillman Racing), see an image of the car on the #40 team paint schemes page.(6-6-2014)

"I can't thank CRC enough for coming on board for this weekend's race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Besides the special stars-and-stripes paint scheme honoring those that have served our country, this race is one of the sport's crown jewels because it's the longest race of the year and you're racing in front of family, friends and the team personnel that might only make it to one or two races a year," said Cassill, who posted a Sprint Cup Series career-best 11th-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway earlier this month. "Over the course of four days of preparation and 600 miles of rigorous racing at Charlotte, I can only imagine how much CRC Brakleen the guys will use prepping the car, and I'm glad we've got our arsenal of CRC products to help us get us to the finish line on Sunday night."(Hillman Racing), see an image of the scheme on the #40 Team Schemes page.(5-24-2014)

Cassill and Hillman Racing get 18 race sponsor: Fuhu, Inc., creator of nabi - the world's first Android tablet built just for kids - is getting revved up for an exciting and meaningful new sponsorship with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Landon Cassill, fresh off of his ninth-place finish in Thursday night's second Daytona 500 qualifying race. In addition to acting as the primary sponsor in 18 Sprint Cup races, Cassill will debut the nabi branding on his #40 Hillman Racing Chevrolet at the NASCAR season-opening race, the Daytona 500, on Sunday, February 23, where he rolls off in the 18th position.
Philanthropy is a large and important part of this sponsorship. For every Fuhu-sponsored primary race - beginning with the event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in two weeks - Cassill will donate five % of his race team's prize money to benefit nabi Inspire, Fuhu's philanthropic arm with the mission to offer direct support for families living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and help raise awareness. Fuhu will then match that donation with an additional five % for a 10 % total that could reach in excess of $175,000 during the initial 18-race program. During that time, Hillman Racing also will be leveraging its assets to bring additional partners to join the cause-related marketing program in an attempt to increase awareness of nabi Inspire.
"Landon Cassill is a promising, young, talented driver that exhibits real potential to be a top 10 NASCAR driver; however, we chose to sponsor Landon's number 40 car because of his impeccable character and dedication to co-invest in supporting and creating awareness for autism! We are excited to join the NASCAR community and proud to sponsor Landon Cassill," said Jim Mitchell, CEO of Fuhu.
Fuhu's signature product and sponsor headliner is the nabi brand.

CRC Industries to Showcase K&W FiberLock on #40 in two races:CRC Industries, Inc. has announced that it will showcase its widely-accepted cooling system additive, K&W FIBERLOCK Head Gasket & Block Repair, on a full car wrap on the #40 Hillman Racing Chevrolet SS at two upcoming NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events. A manufacturer of chemical specialties for maintenance and repair professionals and do-it-yourselfers, CRC is the primary sponsor of the #40 Chevrolet SS driven by Landon Cassill for the Hillman Racing team for these events. K&W FIBERLOCK is a pour-in repair additive that can permanently seal cracks and leaks in head gaskets, engine blocks, freeze plugs, cylinder heads and radiators. Designed for do-it-yourselfers as well as automotive repair technicians, K&W FIBERLOCK prevents an expensive repair on a vehicle that is not worth the cost of the service.
"If your car is one on which you'd rather not spend a hefty sum in repairs, K&W FIBERLOCK provides a quick, easy-to-use - and inexpensive - solution," said Adam Selisker, CRC vice president of technology. "K&W FIBERLOCK uses thermochemical sodium silicate reinforced with military-strength fibers to create a web-like weave over the crack for a multi-layer repair. The crack could cause a hot spot from all the pressure being released in that area. This extra pressure is going to force more product into the damaged area of the cooling system and the hot spot will aid in the FIBERLOCK curing process. Also, the air introduced from the flaw in the cooling system helps the sodium silicate to solidify, making it a permanent repair." Easy to use, K&W FIBERLOCK does not require you to drain the cooling system first as in the case of many other cooling system additives on the market today. Just pour and go.
K&W FIBERLOCK will be featured on a full car wrap on the #40 Hillman Racing Chevrolet SS at Phoenix in March and Auto Club Speedway in March.
According to Mike Hillman, Sr., owner of Hillman Racing, "The race track is an unforgiving testing ground, and the CRC chemical products used in the maintenance of our race cars have always helped us rise to the challenge."
"The labor required to remove and repair the cracked part of an engine can be extensive," said Selisker. "FIBERLOCK uses nanotechnology to reach into the tiniest crevices, making the molecular bond stronger and permanently hardened to the surface area. FIBERLOCK is a great alternative to a costly engine repair, and it is backed by CRC's double-your-money-back guarantee." K&W FIBERLOCK is available at Advance Auto Parts, AutoZone, NAPA Auto Parts, Pep Boys and Wal-Mart.(PR Newswire)(2-18-2014)
Cassill to return to Circle Sport in 2014: Cedar Rapids (Iowa) native Landon Cassill has finalized plans for full-time rides in both the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series for 2014. Cassill will return to Circle Sport [ran #33 & #40 in 2013] in Sprint Cup, and will take over the #4 car for JD Motorsports in Nationwide, though logistical issues with Cup commitments may cause him to miss a few Nationwide races. He ran 33 of the 36 races in 2013 for Circle Sport in Cup, and 23 of the 30 races in a separate entry for JD Motorsports in Nationwide. "(Running both series) keeps me on the racetrack, it's more opportunities for me to show my skills to potential sponsors," Cassill said. "It's really valuable for me to be running in both series every weekend.(The Gazette)(12-18-2013)
Cassill gets Texas sponsor: Hillman Racing and Joe Falk announced that Pirate Oilfield Services, a top competitor in the oil and gas sector, will sponsor Landon Cassill and the #40 Sprint Cup Series entry at Texas Motor Speedway in the AAA Texas 500. With over 50 years in the oil and gas business, Midland, Texas-based Pirate Oilfield Services' recognizable logo will be displayed on the hood and rear quarter panels of Cassill's #40 Chevy SS in next Sunday's eighth race of the 10-race Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. "This partnership is something that developed at the spring race in Texas," said Landon Cassill, the 24-year-old former development driver for Hendrick Motorsports and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native. "The guys at Pirate Oilfield Services are big NASCAR fans that don't miss a race at Texas Motor Speedway, and we're hoping this unique paint scheme will attract a few more sponsors to come along for the ride."(Hillman Racing), see an image of the car on the #40 team paint schemes page.(10-27-2013)
Moon Shine Attitude Attire Joins Hillman Racing to Go Pink in October: Hillman Racing announced that Moon Shine, LP, a premium designer of Moon Shine Attitude Attire, will kick off the first race of a two-race NASCAR Sprint Cup Series sponsorship this weekend at Kansas Speedway by turning the #40 Chevrolet SS pink for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with its Muddy Girl-branded camouflage pattern. From now through October 31, Moon Shine Attitude Attire will donate one dollar from the sale of every Muddy Girl shirt and hoodie sold trackside to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, an independent 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime by providing critical funding for innovative clinical and translational research at leading medical centers worldwide, and increasing public awareness about good breast health. Tony Raines will pilot the #40 Moon Shine Attitude Attire Chevrolet in Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400 with Landon Cassill scheduled to drive the #40 the following week in the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.(Mike Hillman Racing), see images of the scheme on the #40 Team Schemes page.(10-3-2013)
Cassill to drive #40 Moon Shine Attitude Attire Chevy at Bristol: Hillman Racing announced that Moon Shine, LP, a premium designer of Moon Shine Attitude Attire, will engulf the #40 Chevrolet SS in its Wildfire-branded camouflage pattern this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway in a specially designed vehicle wrap. Landon Cassill, who has split time between the #33 and #40 Sprint Cup entries this season, will pilot the #40 Moon Shine Attitude Attire Chevrolet in Saturday night's Irwin Tools Race Night (Tony Raines is in the #33). "We wrapped a car earlier this season in the Wildfire Camo pattern and I couldn't believe the amount of attention it received from the fans at the race track," stated Hillman Racing team owner Mike Hillman, Sr. "With NASCAR's new rules allowing full-pattern wraps, this will be the second time this season that we've worked with Moon Shine to help bring attention to their line of camouflage apparel that the NASCAR fans really seem to enjoy. We've had a lot of requests to run this scheme again, so we thought where better but under the lights at Bristol on Saturday night."(Mike Hillman Racing), see an image of the scheme on the #40 Team Schemes page.(8-23-2013)
Cassill returns to the #40 at Pocono; Raines in the #33: Following a successful debut in the #40 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this past weekend, driver Landon Cassill will once again pilot the #40 Sprint Cup Series entry with sponsorship from Interstate Moving Services in the GoBowling.com 400 at Pocono Raceway on Sunday. With a solid 29th-place qualifying effort to lock into the 43-car Brickyard 400 field, Cassill will drive that same car with support from Richard Childress Racing and ECR Engines this weekend. Tony Raines will fill the seat of the #33 Circle Sport Chevrolet, marking his first Sprint Cup Series start of the 2013 season. Raines has competed in four NASCAR Nationwide Series races this season, and drove two Sprint Cup races for the Joe Falk-owned Circle Sport Racing #33 in 2012.
"It's our intention to run the #40 in select Sprint Cup races throughout the remainder of the 2013 season, and last weekend was a successful launch of that program with the Morrissettes and Interstate Moving Services." said Joe Falk. "Landon did a great job locking the 40 car into the field with no owner points to fall back on, and we're taking that same car to Pocono this weekend with support from Interstate Moving Services, RCR and ECR, so we're confident that Landon will once again be able to qualify the car in the top 36. The Interstate Moving Services Chevy is a great looking car and I'm glad we're able to take it to Pocono where we hope to improve upon the finish we had last week in Indy. As long as we continue to see sponsor interest in the 40 program we will continue to field it and build that program."(CircleSport)(7-30-2013)
Cassill gets sponsor for Indy: Interstate Moving Services announced its sponsorship of driver Landon Cassill and the #40 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series entry at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the 20th running of the Brickyard 400. Cassill, who has competed in 16 of the 19 Sprint Cup events this season for Circle Sport Racing in the #33 Chevy, will switch to the #40 with Austin Dillon scheduled to drive the #33 in Sunday's race. "The addition of Interstate Moving Services as sponsor of Landon and the #40 is the final piece of the puzzle," said Joe Falk. "It's our intention to field the #40 in a handful of races throughout the remainder of the season, and it's important for us to start this endeavor out strong. We secured a brand new race car from Richard Childress Racing with ECR power under the hood, so we are going all-in at Indy."
Celebrating its 70th anniversary, Arthur Morrissette originally founded Interstate Moving Services in Washington, D.C., in 1943. The organization has seen tremendous change and evolution over seven decades of business, and during that time, one constant has remained a focus... to deliver quality "Top Hat Service" to each and every customer. Through three generations of family ownership and management, Interstate pledges to remain at the leading edge of training, methods and innovation while striving to deliver excellence to all of our customers without exception.(Circle Sport / Mike Hillman Racing), see image of the scheme on the #40 Team Schemes page.(7-24-2013)
Cassill to drive #40 in select races: The #40 will once again compete on the Sprint Cup Series circuit when Landon Cassill pilots the joint effort for team owners Joe Falk and Mike Hillman. Beginning with the upcoming Brickyard 400, the #40 will run select Sprint Cup races throughout the remainder of the 2013 season. Cassill, who has competed in 15 of the 18 Sprint Cup events this season for Circle Sport Racing in the #33 Chevy SS, will switch to the # 40 with Austin Dillon scheduled to drive the #33 in the Brickyard 400. "With ABC and ESPN picking up the Sprint Cup television broadcasts beginning with Indy, including three network primetime events, we felt the opportunity was right to field the # 40 car at select venues for the remainder of the season," Joe Falk said. "Mike Hillman has done a herculean task of getting our Gen-6 program up to speed with help from Landon and Richard Childress Racing, and it was a point of pride when Landon started alongside race-winner Tony Stewart at Dover earlier this season. We believe fielding the #40 allows companies looking at the sport that thought only a Truck or Nationwide sponsorship was in their budget to now have the opportunity to showcase their brands on the sport's biggest stage."(Circle Sport)(7-12-2013)
Waltrip to attempt Daytona 500: Hillman Racing and Aaron's Inc. announced that two-time Daytona 500 champion Michael Waltrip will drive the #40 Aaron's Dream Machine Toyota in the 2012 Daytona 500 on Feb. 26. The race will mark Waltrip's 75th start at Daytona in one of NASCAR's top three touring series (Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World trucks) - the most of any driver. "Aaron's really does make your dreams come true," said Waltrip. "When I was a kid thinking about racing in Daytona I never dreamed I would start more NASCAR races there than anyone. That's amazing." He said it takes many factors for success.
"You have to have a great sponsor to race and Aaron's has been a great sponsor for a long time." Waltrip said. "I appreciate what the folks at Hillman Racing including Joe Falk are putting together. Hopefully my experience at Daytona will help them get out of the gate strong with their new team." Daytona's 2012 Speedweeks promises to be busy for Waltrip. He'll race the #55 Aaron's Dream Machine Toyota in the Feb. 18 Budweiser Shootout, oversee his three Sprint Cup teams at Michael Waltrip Racing and host several top executives from corporate America attending the races with the team. Waltrip will also continue his television work serving as a commentator for SPEED-TV's truck series broadcasts and begin his new role as an analyst for the Fox NASCAR Sunday broadcasts joining his brother and Hall of Fame member Darrell Waltrip. Aaron's Chief Operating Officer Ken Butler said the chance to have Waltrip drive the #40 and Mark Martin drive MWR's #55 Aaron's Dream Machines in the Daytona 500 is too good of an opportunity to miss. Hillman Racing is making its NASCAR debut this season, but the organization is anything but new to the sport. Team owner Mike Hillman Sr. played a key role in the founding of Germain Racing [was listed as the owner of the #60 Toyota in 2011 fielded by Germain Racing] and was the architect of the group's two NASCAR championships in 2006 and 2010. Hillman acquired the championship-winning NASCAR Camping World Truck Series assets following the conclusion of the 2011 season and is set to embark as the owner and general manager of Hillman Racing for the 2012 season.
"I can't think of a better way to start off the season than to have Michael Waltrip behind the wheel of our car at Daytona," said Hillman, who credits longtime friend and co-owner Joe Falk [was the owner of the #50 in 2011] for the inclusion of the Cup program under the Hillman Racing banner. "I've been in this sport a long time, but I've never been so excited to go to Daytona. To have two Daytona 500 champions at the start of the season - with Ward Burton in the truck and Michael in the Cup car - positions Hillman Racing for a strong debut and a chance to win both races."(Hillman Racing - MWR)(2-13-2012)
60 car parked for rest of season: per Sirius-Speedway.com / MRN announcer Dave Moody's twitter (@DGodfatherMoody). Moody was asked "is [Mike] Skinner out of the #60 or did they skip this weekend?" Moody replied: The car is parked for the year. The #60 is not on the entry list for Talladega.(10-19-2011)
Germain may switch manufacturers: Germain Racing [#13 GEICO Toyota & #60 Big Red Toyota] majority owner Bob Germain told Sirius XM NASCAR Radio's Sirius Speedway with Dave Moody that his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team may not return to the Toyota camp in 2012. "There is a possibility that we might not be a Toyota team next year," said Germain. "I never thought we'd be running anything but a Toyota, but I'm not sure we're going to be able to get on the TRD (Toyota Racing Development) engine program. We wanted to buy TRD motors for next year's Sprint Cup effort, but with Joe Gibbs Racing getting out of the engine business at the end of this year, I'm not sure we're going to be able to get our engines from TRD." Germain explained that TRD will have the capacity to build six sets of Sprint Cup Series engines next season. JGR's trio of Camrys driven by Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano accounts for three sets and Michael Waltrip Racing's Martin Truex, Jr. and David Reutimann account for two more. That leaves one engine set to be allotted, without accounting for MWR's expected third 2012 entry driven by Clint Bowyer, or JTG Daugherty Racing and driver Bobby Labonte. "Toyota has told us they will try to work something out," said Germain, "but it's not certain. There is a possibility that we may have to look elsewhere. We had already promised GEICO that we would go with TRD engines next year (after running Triad power in the past), and they were really excited about that. I never thought there would be a problem doing it, but now apparently, there is." Germain said he has already spoken to other manufacturers about possible 2012 alliances. "We went out and looked around little bit," he said. "We talked to Ford Racing and we talked to Rick Hendrick a while back, just to see what's out there and how their programs work. My hope is still to stay with Toyota, but we may not be able to do so."(Sirius Speedway)(10-1-2011)
Germain teams up with Native American Businessman: Sirius XM NASCAR Radio's Sirius Speedway with Dave Moody has learned that Germain Racing majority owner Bob German will form a new NASCAR National Series team in conjunction with Naples, Fla., resident O.B. Osceola, Jr. The team, to be called Germain-Osceola Racing, hopes to field an entry in 2012 on the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide or Camping World Truck Series in 2012 for a still unnamed driver, with backing projected to come from from a number of Native American tribes. Osceola is President of Pro Investment Group International and CEO of Pro Games, LLC, and has been instrumental in constructing and managing a number of large-scale projects for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, including fundraising and construction for Florida's Immokalee Casino, and overseeing the tribe's ownership of the worldwide Hard Rock and Hollywood Hotel/Casino franchises. Germain said the new team operate as a subsidiary of Germain Racing, with sponsorship flowing - at least for now -- into the existing race team, which fields Sprint Cup Toyota Camrys for #13-Casey Mears, #60-Mike Skinner and #50-TJ Bell, and Camping World Truck Series Tundras for former series champion Todd Bodine, Brendan Gaughan and Max Papis. He said Germain-Osceola Racing will make its NASCAR debut later this season, fielding a Hard Rock Vodka-sponsored Nationwide Series entry in the 2011 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. "That will be done as part of a launch for a new, Hard Rock-branded Vodka that's coming out," said Germain. "There are a lot of good things going on there, and I really think we're onto something. It's something new for NASCAR, and I think we're going to see a lot of good things come out of this program."(Sirius Speedway)(8-23-2011)
Big Red to sponsor 3 different manufacturers at Kentucky: Big Red Inc. will be making history at the Inaugural Kentucky NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race this weekend. For the first time ever, Big Red will be the primary sponsor for three cars from three different manufacturers in a NASCAR Sprint Cup race. Mike Skinner will pilot the #60 Big Red Toyota for Germain Racing, Mike Bliss will be behind the wheel of the #32 Big Red Ford for FAS Lane Racing, and Dave Blaney will pilot the #36 Big Red Chevy for Tommy Baldwin Racing in the first-ever NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at the Kentucky Speedway. The Kentucky region has been a heartland for Big Red soda for the past 74 years. The company wants to reach fans on a higher level than just consumption; they want them to feel the pride through their greatest passions-Big Red and NASCAR.(Big Red PR)(7-6-2011)
Cassill to drive the #09 at Auto Club: Landon Cassill will return to the driver's seat of the team's Sprint Cup car, the #09 Chevy, beginning this weekend at Auto Club Speedway. Team owner James Finch said he appreciates the contributions of Bill Elliott, who drove the #09 car in the first four Sprint Cup races of 2011 and helped the team achieve its goal of locking in a spot among the top 35 in car owner points, which assures starting positions for upcoming races. With one race remaining before the switch to this year's points, Phoenix is 26th in the standings, with a comfortable margin over the 36th-place team. "I am very thankful for what Bill has done for my team and sponsors to date, and we look forward to him running races later on this season," Finch said. In the meantime, Elliott plans to focus on working with his 15-year-old son Chase, who recently signed a driver agreement with Sprint Cup team owner Rick Hendrick.(Phoenix PR/Bill Elliott site), no word who will drive the #60 Toyota that Cassill was listed to drive at Auto Club.(3-22-2011)

Germain, Landon Cassill to run full season: UPDATE: Building on their heritage in motorsports, Big Red and ALL SPORT Body Quencher return to Sprint Cup competition in 2011 with a full time entry in the Sprint Cup series. Landon Cassill will drive the #60 car beginning with the SUBWAY Fresh Fit 500 Sprint Cup Series Race at Phoenix International Raceway this weekend and will race for the full season. Launched in 1937, Big Red, with its distinctive flavor and widespread distribution in 44 states, was one of the nation's fastest growing soft drink brands in 2010. ALL SPORT is one of the nation's leading sports drinks and has an extensive history in motorsports including Tommy Kendall's Championship in the Trans Am series.(Co-Pilott Motorsports Marketing)(2-24-2011)
UPDATE: Despite the agreement, the team is apparently still in need of additional sponsorship to continue. Landon Cassil tweeted, "Great week, Big Red colors on the #60 car, still [start & park] but hopefully opportunities keep coming. gotta keep working, it's still week to week."(2-26-2011)
Todd Bodine to run three races at Daytona: Todd Bodine will compete in all three NASCAR divisions in next month's Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway. Bodine will race his championship-winning #30 in the Feb. 18 Truck race; the Nationwide [#15] car, which is locked into the field for the Feb. 19 season opener thanks to Michael Annett's 14th-place finish in the 2010 owners' points; and owner Larry Gunselman's #64, which has a technical alliance with the Germains, in the qualifying rounds for the 53rd Daytona 500. Bodine will spend the first day of next week's three-day Sprint Cup test at Daytona. Bodine said there was sponsorship in place for all three programs, which has yet to be announced. Bodine tested with Gunselman's team for two days last month at Goodyear's tire test and said "we're going to race the whole race."(NASCAR.com)(1-13-2011)

I love the look of unlacquered brass. We are finishing up a guest house and I want to put an un-lacquered brass facet in the kitchen. Several high dollar faucets are available without lacquer - out of my budget. I am looking to purchase a mid-range price faucet and strip off the lacquer. However, as much as I can find people talking about doing this and instructions for doing this, I have never seen it actually done. No one has ever posted an actual example, as well as talked about living with it. I am looking at the Cifial two-handle bridge kitchen faucet in PVD lifetime brass. (I don't know what pvd means?) I am wondering if the $350 faucets are built well enough to withstand the unprotected state - if I am using it daily and occasionally polishing it, is the brass thick enough? I am assuming it is not solid brass throughout? I have no idea. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) (Also Known As Thin Film Deposition). It may be tougher than electroplating. |
This post was edited by brickeyee on Wed, May 22, 13 at 14:31
I've dreamed of stripping those lacquer finishes off faucets too. When you do something like this, you have to be prepared for plan B, starting over. $350 is not an inexpensive experiment, so if it fails you can end up spending as much as if you had gotten the more expensive item you wanted in the first place. If you try it, you could order a replacement handle or something to experiment on first. And continue the hunt. Sometimes it takes forever searching but often you can eventually stumble upon what you're looking for. Now, I would never (or be able to) spend $1000 or close for a faucet, so sometimes you do just have to float back down to earth and find another beautiful option that will work well enough. I have had to compromise on dreamy selections and find I love the outcome anyway. |
The material typically use for the "deposit" with PVD on faucets is zircon, a good bit tougher than lacquer. In another life a few times I had stripped chrome off of some solid brass parts using a buffing wheel. That was a bear and I was better than average at buffing with everything I could possibly need at hand. My guess is that PVD would be more difficult. I'd continue searching. |
ooohhh - jakuvall, I think you just saved me from a big mistake! Thanks so much. I think I will take snookums advice and keep looking for a bargain. |

Look at Huntingdon Brass faucets. They aren't horribly high priced. |
You can remove lacquer from brass by dipping it in acetone. Is that what you were planning to do? |

cella, I just ran across your post & am wondering if you ended up with an lacquered brass faucet in your kitchen. If so, what did you go with? I'm looking for one too. Did you "un-lacquer" a shiny brass, by any chance? Curious if rosylady's process works w/out doing any destruction to the faucet? If anyone else has feedback, I'd love to hear it. Thanks! |
