Matthew Fox 'beats women,' 'Lost' co-star says

By Courtney Hazlett

In a series of blunt posts on his Twitter feed, "Lost" star Dominic Monaghan is accusing his onetime co-star Matthew Fox of beating women.

Monaghan was in the midst of a fan Q&A on Twitter earlier this week when a user going by the screen name Becca wrote, "holla at matthew fox and tell him to get a twitter i beg of you." Monaghan's reply: "he beats women. No thanks."

Becca and Monaghan continued their conversation -- Becca wanted to know "what about all those good times you had together?" to which Monaghan replied, "how do you know we ever did? you don't know either of us. he beats women. not isolate incidents. often. not interested."

Monaghan went on to defend himself against those saying he was making false accusations.

TODAY.com reached out to Fox's manager and attorney for comment, but they have yet to respond.

Fox and Monaghan worked closely together on "Lost" from the series' beginning in 2004. While Monaghan's character Charlie was killed off in the season three finale in 2007, he returned for a number of episodes before the show ended its run in 2010. In a case of art apparently imitating life, Charlie and Fox's character Jack were often at odds with each other.

While "Lost" was on the air, personal conflicts between Monaghan and Fox, if there were any, were never publicized. That said, Fox is no stranger to off-screen controversy. In 2010, a stripper told In Touch magazine that the married actor had an affair with her (which he later denied); in 2011 Fox was charged with assault after allegedly punching a female bus driver in the breasts and groin; and just recently, Fox was arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated.

Security America Mortgage, Inc. the VA Loan Experts in Houston, TX ...


Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 29, 2012

Security America Mortgage, Inc., a VA Home Loan and Real Estate company from Houston, Texas recently attended the Association of the United States Armys 2012 Military Housing Summit, held at Reliant Park on Saturday, May 19.

The summit, being the first of its kind, highlighted a key theme pertaining to VA housing initiatives that support military members who are either transitioning their lives back into the United States or veterans who are struggling to buy or afford a home on a budget. Before the doors were opened to the public, breakfast with a handful of federal and local government officials took place for all corporate company sponsors and non-profit organizations to gather and work through solutions for the challenges being faced with the VA Home Loan Process.

The VA Guaranteed Loan is a VA backed mortgage that allows eligible veterans and active duty military service members the dream of owning a home using their VA Home Loan Benefits. The overall goal of the housing summit was to implement a proactive approach to making the VA loan processes more transparent, easier to understand, and mainly, to put military service members into homes at a faster than the current pace.

Following the excitement and set up, the Housing Summit?s grand opening began at 10AM, welcoming veterans and military from all walks of life.

This summit was open to the general public but targeted veterans and military members of all branches and components. There were education classes on a wide range of VA benefits to include those provided directly by the State of Texas. Topics presented for Veterans to take advantage of during the hourly classes included, VA Home Loan tips over how to utilize their benefits to achieve a maximum result in savings based on their current (or potential) financial responsibilities. Other topics discussed in the classes for veterans included tricks of the trade provided by professionals in the industry of home loan financing regarding credit scores, financial aid, mortgage calculations for VA Funding Fee, and how certain details of an individual?s budget play a role in how the interest rates are finalized with the lender and VA. Officials from the Veterans Land Board were on hand to provide guidance to veterans with the goal of purchasing land to build on.

We are here to provide education and resources for veterans and their families, said Jim Bob Mickler, Marketing Team Manager of Veterans Land Board. Classes were held hourly throughout the day for eligible military members as well as mortgage lenders over ways they can take advantage of the VA guarantee loan, purchase land directly from the state, and manage finances accordingly in order to properly secure a VA mortgage approval. Members who attended the housing classes were given the opportunity to learn about VA Home Loan Benefits and VA laws currently in effect based on the guidelines set by the Department of Veteran Affairs.

One special tidbit that stood out in the crowd of banking and lending professionals who know the best tricks of the trade in getting the best interest rates and financial savings. According to Jason Noble, Residential Mortgage Loan Originator and Managing Director from Security America Mortgage, Inc., the Advantages of Using a VA Loan to finance a mortgage in Texas include: lower interest rates, no down payment on a home, free home inspections, free insurance with no requirements of needing homeowners insurance, easier credit requirements on higher mortgage amounts, to name a few.

Also, in order to achieve the American dream of owning a home, Noble pointed out the need for veterans to be better informed with regard to finding VA approved lenders (like his company), and the need for lending companies as well as government officials in charge of the VA financial processes with the VA guarantees to take on a more proactive role in owning the responsibility of being transparent the Veteran and Military public about what they are entitled to.

Noble provided pertinent information to John Trasvina, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of the Office For Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, who further discussed specifics during his briefing, saying that, Thanks to Jason, weve received some info pertaining to specific VA Lending processes that we in Washington are going to take action on in order to help place Veterans into homes more efficiently than our current process in place.

According to the AUSA, approximately six thousand people attended the VA housing event throughout the day.

Ravi, a former Rutgers University student convicted of using a webcam to spy on his male roommate kissing another man days before the roommate killed himself, publicly apologized on Tuesday, May 29, for the first time. (AP Photo/Mel?Evans, File)

(AP) ? A day after apologizing for the first time, a former Rutgers University student convicted of using a webcam to spy on his gay roommate gave up his right to remain free on Wednesday while New Jersey prosecutors appeal his 30-day jail sentence.

Dharun Ravi appeared in state court to formally put on the record his decision to report to jail Thursday and waive his right not to be punished twice for the same crime.

His lawyer, Joseph Benedict, said Ravi intends to begin doing community service when he's out of jail, and will start paying fines on Aug. 1. His sentence includes 300 hours of community service and more than $11,000 in court assessments ? $10,000 of it to support groups that assist victims of bias crimes.

Ravi spoke in court only to give brief replies to questions from the judge and his lawyer and did not amplify the apology he gave a day earlier in a two-paragraph statement sent to reporters.

The state's appeal of Superior Court Judge Glenn Berman's sentence as too lenient had automatically stayed the sentence. Prosecutors were seeking to have Ravi sent to state prison rather than county jail ? though not necessarily the 10-year maximum sentence Ravi faced for bias intimidation. Middlesex County First Assistant Prosecutor Julia McClure said in court Wednesday that she thought a five-year sentence would be appropriate, but said she understands a judge could rightfully order a shorter sentence.

But Ravi announced Tuesday he had decided to start his jail term despite the appeal. He also issued his first public apology while continuing to deny his actions were motivated by hate or bigotry.

Ravi was convicted in March of bias intimidation, invasion of privacy and other crimes for the watching a brief live webstream of roommate Tyler Clementi kissing another man in September 2010. Clementi threw himself from New York City's George Washington Bridge days later after learning of the webcam.

Gay rights advocates held up Clementi an example of the consequences of bullying. Ravi's supporters say Ravi was not a bully at all, but a college student who made a bad decision ? and that the charges were so serious only because of Clementi's suicide ? even though Ravi was not charged with his death.

In his apology issued through a lawyer on Tuesday, Ravi, 20, described his actions as "thoughtless, insensitive, immature, stupid and childish."

He said getting his jail term out of the way is "the only way I can go on with my life."

Clementi's parents, who had attended all of Ravi's previous court hearings, were not present Wednesday.

Because Ravi's sentence is less than a year, it decreases the chances that federal immigration authorities will seek to have him deported to India, where he was born and remains a citizen.

Even though he is heading to jail, Ravi is moving ahead with an appeal of his conviction, arguing that he is innocent.

In most cases, New Jersey county jail inmates with 30-day sentences automatically have them reduced by 10 days for good behavior. A warden at Middlesex County Jail was not immedialey available Wednesday to say whether that would apply to Ravi.

Also on Wednesday, Berman went into more depth on why he thought a 30-day jail sentence was served the interest of justice. "I know people disagree," he said. "All you've got to do is look at my in-box."

Berman said he wanted to explain his sentence further in part to help build a record for appeals court judges to use.

Berman reiterated something he said last week when he sentenced Ravi: Even though bias intimidation is usually referred to as a hate-crime, he does not believe that title fits this case. "I don't defend his actions against Tyler Clementi, nor does he," Berman said. "I don't think it was motivated by hatred, and I'll stand on that."

That, he said, is one reason, a longer sentence would be inappropriate.

"I can't find it in me to remand him to state prison that houses people convicted of offenses such as murder, armed robbery and rape," Berman said. "I don't believe that fits this case. I believe he has to be punished and he will be."

Berman said he believed the jail sentence would deter others from acting as Ravi did.

He also said he saw the $10,000 he ordered Ravi to pay to a group for bias-crime victims as a major part of the punishment.

A new book explains the reality of 'peak oil' and its far-reaching implications for our global future

What happens when a handful of the world's largest oil fields accounting for two-thirds of the world's oilrun dry? What are the implications of such a prospect for food production, economic growth and ultimately, global security? In his new book, Peeking at Peak Oil ( Springer, 2012) physicist Kjell Aleklett explores the science and consequences behind the sobering reality that the world's oil production is entering terminal decline with no satisfactory alternatives.

Peeking at Peak Oil explains how oil is formed, discovered and "produced," using science to reveal the errors and deceit of public and private organizations with a vested interest in promoting business as usual. As President of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil & Gas (ASPO) and head of the world's leading research group on peak oil, Aleklett will be presenting the data and major conclusions of his book at the 10th International ASPO Conference in Vienna, Austria, on 30 May 2012 (http://www.aspo2012.at/). The conference serves as a gathering of international top experts on fossil fuel depletion and its implications, providing attendees with the latest updates on a wide range of energy and related economic issues.

The term "peak oil" was born in January 2001 when Colin Campbell founded ASPO, dedicated to the scientific exploration of the idea that our primary energy supply is finite and limited. Originally regarded as a fringe theory, peak oil has arrived. One telling sign is a 2012 International Monetary Fund working paper, "The Future of Oil: Geology versus Technology," which incorporates Campbell's depletion model, and concludes that oil prices can be understood only by considering supply constraints, i.e., peak oil.

Using simple language and engaging illustrations, Aleklett's Peeking at Peak Oil leaves readers with a clear and comprehensive understanding of the emerging issue of our time. Peak oil is now used thousands of times a day by journalists, politicians, industry leaders, economists, scientists and countless others around the globe. Peak oil is not the end of oil but it tells us the end is in sight.

The companies appearing in the feature story include:

?

WODToys ? toys for babies and toddlers with a fitness-themed twist MOVband ? converts movement, not just steps, into mileage

?

The MOVband really caught my eye because it's like a pedometer on steroids. The small, brightly colored band is about the size of a watch and it works like a traditional pedometer by tracking steps. The band also tracks all types of movement, giving the wearer a more in-depth look at their daily activity levels.

?

MOVband also uses gamification to help motivate the wearer. The company sponsors a MOVband Challenge, encouraging school-aged participants to move 100 miles in a two-week period. As a student reaches each 25-mile milestone, the student can add a brightly colored band to her Movband. This band is a point of pride for the student because classmates, friends and family members know that it was earned for reaching the 25-mile movement mark.

?

Do you know a small business that is taking a creative approach to combating childhood obesity? If so, I?d love to hear about it. Please post a comment below.

Personal Injury Lawsuits And The Services Of A Personal Injury ...

If you are the victim of a injury due to an accident where negligence of another individual or entity was involved, it?s essential to not only consider your health and recovery, but also such issues as the costs of your recovery as well as all costs resulting from the accident. In case you are permanently disabled, it?s essential to take into account long term medical costs and how you support yourself and your family. You have the right to hold the negligent accountable for your losses and injuries by seeking compensation through a personal injury claim. The services of a personal injury lawyer are very helpful when filing a personal injury claim.

The services of a personal injury lawyer Toronto are important as it will greatly improve the chances of holding the negligent party accountable and being awarded financial compensation. Having a personal injury lawyer means you will have a lawyer with experience in personal injury law and can advise you on the merits of your claim and how you should proceed.

As legal professionals, personal injury lawyers know about all aspects of personal injury litigation and the injuries that fall under personal injury law such as: slip and falls, trauma such as brain injury, vehicle accidents, defective product and liability, medical negligence causing injury, dog bites, and accidents occurring in the workplace. Damages sought in a personal injury claim are usually primarily based on the gravity of the physical injury, pain and suffering, loss of earning capacity, loss of future earnings, and all related medical expenses including long term care and rehabilitation.

A personal injury lawsuit can take time to resolve if the case is not settled and instead proceeds to civil trial. A lawyer from a personal injury law will manage litigation of a personal injury claim and carry out such duties as: collecting all reports pertaining to the claim such as medical, police, and other investigative information, acquiring medical experts and other experts related to the accident, interviewing witnesses, gathering evidence to support negligence, negotiating a settlement, preparing the case for trial, and presenting the personal injury case at civil trial. It is a time consuming process that can sometimes last over two years.

An experienced personal injury lawyer will improve the chances of achieving a successful outcome. A lawyer with experience in your specific injury will understand how to litigate the case.
Personal injury lawyers have a greater chance of proving negligence and those liable for failing to practice a standard duty of care.

PAN.THY.MONIUM ...Dawn music review by sagichim

3 stars Dawn is a demo tape released in 1990 by Pan.Thy.Monium, one of Dan Swano's early project, even preceding Edge Of Sanity's debut. Usually i don't go for this stuff at all, but because of my big appreciation for this fantastic band, i wanted to check out their early recordings as well. After listening to their 1991 EP recording which wasn't to my liking, i approached this with no expectation at all, and i must say i'm positively surprised. First of all the sound quality is very good for an unknown swedish brutal death metal demo tape, drums are well recorded and mixed, guitars are heavy and loud and the keys are noticable. Overall pretty good.

So what do we have here...4 songs, three of the songs will be rerecorded and released later, two in their debut and one in their second album. The music here shows the band's brutal death metal side definitely not straight forward but with some interesting ideas mixed together. Tom Nouga which was responsible for the soloing guitar and the saxophone in their albums hasn't joined the band just yet, so this is less experimental but still does show the band has some original ideas. The music is doomy and slow but also fast and brutal at times, the songs are short but are not stuck on a main heavy riff, there are some changes in riffs and in tempo, i wouldn't go far and call it progressive but still interesting and well played, this is one of the most exceptional demos out there.

Although this was meant for the underground swedish scene, it shows the band's potential for a different kind of songwriting, this of course turned to be one of the best and most experimental bands out there. 3 stars is adequate for this genre.

The Diamond Jubilee/Coronation Chick Pea Salad | The Veggie Blog

.

The whole of UK will be enjoying an extended four day weekend to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen?s coronation took place on 2nd June 1953 (she came to throne in February of the previous year). Sixty years on the throne deserve a recognition, many celebrations are planned including street parties all around the country. And of course we celebrate best with some great food (and drink) in hand.

.

Probably the most famous dish, from the two Coronation Banquets in 1953, is the Coronation Chicken. The recipe was created by Constance Spry and Rosemary Huyme. Constance suggested to make curried creamy chicken and Rosemary (the chef) executed the idea. For months now Coronation Chicken inspired dishes have been on the shelves of supermarkets, you can choose from the traditional chicken, veggie rice version or a Coronation dip. There even is a coronation ice-cream in an ice-cream shop in London.

I felt inspired and created my own plant based version of the famous dish. As in the original version I used a curry powder. When I made curries I blend my own spices but the generic curry powder taste is what makes this recipe traditional as that is what they would use in 1953. Just make sure you use a good quality one, I get mine in an Asian shop. You can also use a good curry paste.

.

The original version is mayo heavy and I didn?t want to just open a jar and replace the regular mayo with a vegan one. Therefore a tofu/cashew dressing was born, the quantities given make more than you will need but it tastes great and you will find other uses (great with new potatoes). The salad ingredients can be easily doubled to make enough to feed a crowd, it makes a great potluck dish.

Here is to the Queen, who has kept going with seemingly boundless energy through all the ups and downs in the 60 years of her rule. I will be raising a glass of Pimm?s to her health.

Quiet Revolution's old dreams fuel Quebec protests

MONTREAL (AP) ? Quebec's generous social services date back to sweeping reforms in the 1960s, a period of intense nationalism. Yet many Quebecers look back at the "Quiet Revolution" with regret over one unfulfilled promise: free higher education.

That sentiment is fueling Canada's most sustained student demonstrations ever. It has been anything but quiet.

Some 150,000 students in more than a dozen Quebec colleges and universities have been on strike since February to protest the provincial government's plan to raise tuition fees. Street protests in Montreal have ended in clashes with police and mass arrests.

A strict new law designed to stop the demonstrations has only broadened the movement to include separatists and Occupy protesters, and triggered a wider debate over public freedoms. The students are threatening to persevere through the summer, just when the city traditionally awakens from its dark and frigid winter for jazz and comedy festivals that draw in millions of dollars in tourist revenue.

The French-speaking province's average undergraduate tuition ? $2,519 a year ? is the lowest in Canada, and the proposed hike? $254 per year over seven years ? is tiny by U.S. standards. But opponents consider the raise an affront to the philosophy of the 1960s reforms that set Quebec apart not only from its U.S. neighbor but from the rest of Canada.

"The whole consensus around education was built around the Quiet Revolution," said Pierre Martin, a political science professor at the Universite de Montreal. "That consensus would tend toward a tuition-free model in the future. That was a promise."

As a result, he said, Quebecers don't compare their tuition rates to those in the U.S. or English-speaking Canada, but to those in European countries where higher education is free.

Quebec Premier Jean Charest, who has vowed to shake up the debt-ridden province's finances since he was elected nearly a decade ago, has refused to cave.

More than 2,500 students have been arrested since the demonstrations began more than 100 days ago, including nearly 700 this past Wednesday alone. The total is five times the arrests during a period in the 1970s when soldiers were deployed to the streets in Quebec because of a spate of terrorism by a group demanding independence from Canada.

The tuition hike is part of a broader effort to shift Quebec's fiscal burden away from taxpayers ? the province has some of the steepest personal income taxes in North America and the highest per-capita debt in Canada? and onto the shoulders of each person who uses a service.

"Every citizen has to do their part," Quebec Finance Minister Raymond Bachand told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "This is the 21st century."

Bachand said the students want more money in their pocket to the detriment of others. He noted that the government has expanded student grants so that middle and lower income students can more easily afford the increase.

"We're talking about 50 cents a day so basically it's moved from a question of tuition fees to a question of a social movement like you've seen in other parts of the world," Bachand said. "We're not used to this as Canadians. We're used to sitting down, disagreeing, negotiating and coming to an agreement."

In an effort to restore peace, Charest's government passed emergency legislation on May 18 restricting protests and closing striking campuses until August. The law requires that police be informed eight hours before a protest begins, including details on the route of any demonstration of 50 or more people. It also prohibits demonstrations within 50 meters (165 feet) of a college and declares that anyone who incites or helps another person break the new protest regulations can be fined.?

The new law has "changed the discourse now and introduced a new element into the debate, and that is the question of rights," said Bruce Hicks, a political scientist at Concordia University. The students have challenged the law in court.

Provincial Public Safety Minister Robert Dutil said Quebec cities are simply joining others that already have tough rules for organizing protests, including Los Angeles and New York.

"Law 78" has inspired a particularly cacophonous form of protest: from 8 p.m. to 8:15 p.m., people around Quebec emerge onto sidewalks and balconies to bang pots and pans.

Anne Claude, a 23-year-old computer student banging pots with a friend one evening in the heart of Montreal's Latin Quarter, said the law has only increased her resolve to be heard.

"The new law limits our ability to demonstrate," Claude shouted over the noise.

Across the street, pizza parlor owner Naeem Ahmed shook his head when he recalled the sight of an open fire hydrant gushing water into his business and a bonfire lit dangerously close by.

Ahmed, 37, has had a front row seat to more than 30 straight nights of protests. Confrontations between helmeted police and students have scared customers away. Students sometimes seek shelter in his establishment to escape police sweeps.

"For businesses it has been really, really horrible," Ahmed said, taking a break with some of his employees to look at cellphone footage of a recent protest. One of his employees joined the pot-bangers, clanging two trash lids together.

"Police come and ask everybody to leave," he said.

Still, he sympathizes with the students. "If you go to any country, when the students hit the streets, you have to listen to them," he said. "When they come out you have to accept it."

The student groups and the government have announced their intention to return to negotiations in the next days, with Quebec Education Minister Michelle Courchesne saying she expects a "very, very important" session following positive discussions over the phone.

But the two sides seem far apart. Student leader Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois wants to propose a long-term plan that would essentially fulfill the promise of the Quiet Revolution: scrapping university tuition fees altogether within five years and funding that by increasing taxes on financial institutions.

That is the opposite of what the government wants.

"Sacred cows only exist in India," the finance minister has repeatedly said.

Felicity Kendal stars in a comedy film to celebrate World Africa Day

English actress and national treasure Felicity Kendal is starring in a brand new comedy sketch for the See Africa Differently campaign released today (25th May) - World Africa Day 2012.

The light-hearted sketch sees the star, who plays herself, challenged by her taxi driver over her misconception that six out of the ten fastest growing economies in the world are in Asia. In fact, six of the fastest growing economies in the world can be found across Africa, in Angola, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Chad, Mozambique and Rwanda.

The actress, best known for her role in the seventies BBC sitcom The Good Life, said: ?Africa is a lion on the move, with a richness of cultural diversity that deserves to be celebrated. I really enjoyed making this film, it's time we all opened our eyes to the good news coming out of Africa.?

World Africa Day perfectly encompasses the spirit of See Africa Differently by celebrating African diversity and success around the world, and highlighting the cultural and economic potential that exists on the continent.

The film was written by comedy writers GeorgeJeffrie & Bert Tyler Moore, and produced and directed by Andrew Chaplin & Lucy Forbes of Mock Tudor. The writers' previous work includes sketches on Alan Carr's Chatty Man, The Kumars at Number 42 and Armstrong & Miller.

Through the seeafricadifferently.com website the See Africa Differently campaign has quickly established itself as one of the most entertaining online hubs for all things great about Africa, posting thought provoking articles and quick fire facts to exclusive interviews and videos sourced from the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Kofi Annan and the Shakespeare globe theatre.

Martial Arts: Physical Techniques And Mental Discipline

Martial Arts is the combination of physical techniques and mental discipline. It is used for self defense, body strengthening, relaxation, and even competition. Women often take martial arts classes to learn moves that will help them in the event of an attack. The moves of Martial Arts are designed for even a small woman to use them effectively.

The arms and legs are used in Martial sports moves. Practicing them will help you get fit and strengthen your body. Doing these moves will also help relax your mind. There are many different types of martial arts including karate and tae kwon do. Karate involves various kicks and punches. The goal of karate is to defend rather than to hurt the other person. Tae kwon do is the most commonly used type of martial art. The moves are very graceful and requires exceptional coordination.

The level of skill varies greatly in martial arts, from beginners to experts. Competitions are very popular. In addition to karate and tae kwon do, kickboxing competitions are very popular as well.

Martial arts is a great sport for children of all ages to participate in. They will get fit, learn about self discipline, and have some basic skills for defending themselves. It can help with behavior issues too including a short attention span, following directions, and communication style.

There are many variations of the martial arts. It is important to identify the types of techniques and trainings that will be used in a class before you sign up. The instructor can help you determine if it is right for you. There are also martial arts videos you can purchase to use at home. This is a great way to pick up skills in the privacy of your home. It is also great for those with a hectic schedule.

Many types of Martial Arts have a colored belt system. Judo was the first type of Martial Arts to adopt this practice. The color of the belt indicates the level of skill the student has. Students have to pass skill tests to move on to learning techniques and moves of the next color. Beginners start with a white belt. In the old days, the white belt was dyed the new color as a rite of passage and honor in Martial Arts. Today the belt is simply replaced with the new color of the skill level. After white, the colors are yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, and black.

While the goal of each student in Martial Arts is self improvement, the belt in some forms of it offers the student a way to display their efforts to the other students. It is also designed to help students engage in fair sparing activities. To respect the culture of Martial Arts, it is important that you wear the belt properly.

Never let a white belt get dingy or dirty. The belt needs to be tied firmly above the hip bones. Make sure it is loose enough to move during your activities but tight enough to stay in place. The ends of the belt hanging on both sides need to be even. This can take time to learn so practice finding the amount of material needed to tie it. Some people place a small market on the inside of the belt to find the location easily. The belt should never be allowed to cross itself in the back. Never let your belt touch the floor.

Having the proper respect for the Martial Arts includes honoring the belt color system. Never wear a belt for a level of skill you have not accomplished. This is considered to be dishonorable. Your instructor will help you learn to tie your belts properly. Enjoy learning about Martial Arts, improving your skills, and proving you are worthy of a higher ranking belt.

President Obama Not Actually a 'Twoosh Master'

In a video posted online yesterday, Obama took credit for tapping out a perfect, efficiency-maximizing 140-character long tweet (apparently, a 'twoosh') about green energy during a Thursday Twitter Q&A session. Hate to burst your bubble POTUS, but we see an extra space after 'wind' and an extra period right at the start. And isn't "bio fuels" all one word? So, really, it should only be 137-characters long.

Families today are busy with work and life and barely have time to enjoy fun family activities. One solution to this problem is taking advantage of opportunities to build a home business. There are numerous options out there for families to choose from and finding one that interest your family and has a low start-up cost takes a great deal of research. One opportunity that offers the family or individuals a method of making a decent income while helping others, is the home distributor of nutritional supplements. With the wide variety of nutritional and herbal supplements on the market, you can offer a wealth of health benefits to all your potential customers. This type of business means you should know about the products your business offers, so you can answer questions customers may have about safety and effectiveness of supplements. Doing your research and being acquainted with the products your specific home business sells will help keep your customers informed and safe. Find out about the distribution process your business requires. Will you need to have inventory on hand or does the parent company process orders based on customer demand.

Automotive History: Indianapolis 500 Pace Cars ... - Curbside Classic

We are now entering what I consider to be the golden era of Indy Pace Cars.? Although the power and performance of the American automobile had increased substantially by 1954, the second half of the 1950s would showcase the horsepower race in all its glory.

What else could have paced the race in 1955 other than the new Chevrolet.?? Although the industry was full of new models that year, hindsight would surely ratify that the 1955 Chevrolet was perhaps the most culturally significant new car since the 1932 Ford V8.?? Chevrolet Sales Manager, Thomas Keating got to drive the Gypsy Red and India Ivory Bel Air convertible. This photo shows Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Tony Hulman next to the car.

This car illustrates the rapid advances in engine design taking place during those years.? In 1955, a Chevrolet came to the race with the same horsepower rating (180) and from a smaller displacement as the much more expensive Hemi-powered New Yorker had brought to the race just four years earliers.? And who would have figured that the same basic engine design would still be pacing the race in 2012?

Chevrolet?s famous musical star Dinah Shore got at least one ride around the track.? See the USA in your Chev-ro-let!? The 1955 race itself was marred by the fatal crash involving Bill Vukovich, one of the great (and most popular) racers of the era.

While all the world loves the 1955 Chevy, one of my own faves paced the race the next year.? With this Forward Look 1956 DeSoto, Chrysler Corporation was leading the field of thirty three cars for the third time in six years.? DeSoto Division president Irv Woolson drove the big hemi-powered convertible.? This DeSoto is, to my eye, one of the most attractive Pace Cars of all time.? This photo also shows the Speedway?s old wooden pagoda.? The pagoda was a track fixture, built to house press and?track officials during the race.? This one dated to the 1920s, and would be torn down following the 1956 race, to be replaced by a modern control facility.

The ?56 model is also my favorite DeSoto of the V8 era.? I must not be alone, because DeSoto actually outsold Chrysler that year.? It is hard to imagine that only five years into the future, the DeSoto would join so many others in the museum of dead brands.

The Pace Car got a 341 c.i. hemi V8 from the Adventurer, which was helpful because we were now into an era where the Pace Car would enter the pits at over 100 mph.? The ivory and gold color combination with anodized gold trim on the wheelcovers and elsewhere made for a very attractive car in the estimated 300 ? 500 replicas that were made.? But for some reason, despite the number of replicas out there, there were not many good photos taken at the track.

In 1957, the Ford Motor Company was finally at the track with something other than a flathead.? The 1957 was Mercury?s year, as the brand was finally set to enter the big time.? Mercury would go on to become a perennial contender in the middle priced field for decades to come.? No, wait.? That was the plan.? Actually, Mercury never took root in its new role, and would eventually revert to its traditional role as a Ford with more chrome (or in the 1970s, more Brougham).? But the ?57 model gave it a good try.

This 1957 Turnpike Cruiser was driven by Jack Reith, General Manager of Mercury.? The TC used a 368 c.i. version of the Y block that was normally found in Lincolns.? The pace cars were painted a light yellow called Sun Glitter.? Somewhere in the range of 700-1000 of these convertibles came with Pace Car decal kits.

The actual car was won by Sam Hanks, who announced his retirement from the winners circle, and kept the car for thirty years.? After all, once you have won the Indianapolis 500 and obtained the keys to a new Turnpike Cruiser, what else is there to accomplish in life?? OK, besides getting Lauren Bacall too.? It has been reported that the Turnpike Cruiser convertible was introduced in Indianapolis in January of 1957 when the choice of Pace Car was announced, and that the very first one was the car to pace the race.

1958:?Bonneville comes to Indianapolis.? Bunkie Knudson?s Pontiac Division was turning up the heat in its quest to become General Motors? performance division.? This big Bonneville ragtop was a natural.? This year would be Pontiac?s debut year as the Pace Car.

The big Pontiac 370 V8 with Tri-Power (triple 2 barrel carbs) was easily good for?300 horsepower, a figure that last year?s Mercury could only dream of out of its performance-impaired?Y block.? I will go to my grave wondering how Pontiac got away with the rocket on the side that mimicked that on the 49 Olds, but was bigger in every way.? Oldsmobile?s people must have been steaming about this.

The 1958 model was a one-year-only car, and also marked the final year that the venerable Chief Pontiac?s likeness adorned the exterior of the car (although his silhouette would serve as a high-beam indicator for several more years).? Former racer Sam Hanks would pilot the big Bonnie.?? To me, this is one of the great Pace Car promo photos of all time, taken outside of the old main entrance to the Speedway.

GM was back for a second year in a row with a very different kind of car.? This Buick Electra 225 would also be driven by Sam Hanks.? It is reported that for two or three years during the late 1950s when the Auto Manufacturers Association banned racing activity, the Pace Cars were officially sponsored by local dealers.? This car was jointly sponsored by two Indianapolis area Buick dealers, although we can be sure that there was plenty of unofficial factory support.

The 1959 Pace Car was the first one equipped with a? two-way radio in response to a multiple-car first lap accident in 1958.? The white Electra 225 convertible sported red bucket seats and loads of options.?? The big Electra 225 used the Buick nailhead 401 V8 which was rated at 325 horsepower, nearly double the standard 165 horsepower of the Pace Car Chevrolet of five years earlier, and about triple that of the 1950 Mercury that started the decade.

This Pace Car was won by Rodger Ward, and was reportedly one of the last cars to be driven as everyday transportation following the race.?? The eventual disposition of the 1959 Pace Car is a mystery, but if you have the time, you can check out one man?s exhaustive (and fascinating) search to determine whether his white ?59 Buick bucket seat convertible is THE actual Official Pace Car (here).

When I was a kid, my friend Tim?s dad had a framed color picture of the start of the 1959 race which hung on the wall of the family?s basement.? That picture of the thirty three cars led by this fast, angry Buick is the picture that comes to my mind at the start of every years race.

Next time, we will move into the sizzling ?60s.
