text: Pre-pay for excess baggage Pre-pay for excess baggage and receive a 10% discount on standard airport rates. It's a quick and easy way of saving you money ahead of your journey. When can I pre-pay excess baggage? From the time of booking until 24 hours prior to departure on Etihad-operated flights. Where and how can I pre-pay? You can call any of our global contact centres and pay over the phone with your credit card. In the UAE, call 02 599 0000. Outside the UAE, call +971 2 599 0844 or any of the global contact centres mentioned above. Note: debit cards are not accepted. You can also visit any of Etihad's Airport Ticketing Offices around the world or City Ticketing Offices and pre-pay in person using a credit card or cash. You cannot pre-purchase over the phone with these offices. How does it work? For all routes except to/from the US, Canada and Brazil, Etihad follows a 'weight concept' baggage allowance. This means you would need to buy an excess baggage voucher for 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20KG, 25kg, 30kg or 35kg. See below for rates. These vouchers will be given to you physically if you are visiting an Etihad office or will be emailed to you if have called one of our contact centres. For flights to/from the US, Canada and Brazil, Etihad follows a 'piece concept' baggage allowance. This means you pay a set fee for excess baggage as per the rates below. Excess baggage vouchers can be issued for weight concept, piece concept or a combination of both where applicable. In addition, guests can be issued multiple vouchers for one segment. For example, the first voucher for weight and the second for piece. These vouchers must be presented at the airport check-in desk with your baggage. They cannot be refunded if not used or refunded for partial use. The service is offered on a space-available basis. If the baggage cannot be transported on the same flight as you, it will be loaded onto the next available flight. How much does it cost? For all routes except to/from the US, Canada and Brazil, refer to the table below and deduct 10% off the excess baggage charges.

By Christian Blauvelt, Hollywood.com Staff
With her new role in The Host, Saoirse Ronan may officially be the most lethal teenager alive. She's already portrayed an adolescent assassin in Joe Wright's Hanna. And now, she's playing a freedom fighter, rebelling against the aliens who've invaded earth on a quest to take over the bodies of much of humanity through some kind of psychic possession. Think Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets War of the Worlds. As heroine Melanie Stryder, Ronan had to master pretty intense fighting skills and tackle some daunting stunts.
In a new video interview over at Moviefone.com, Ronan talks about the challenges she faced taking on a tough-as-nails character who has almost nothing in common with author Stephenie Meyer's most famous creation, Twilight's Bella Swan. "I like doing my own stunts, because it's more realistic," Ronan says. "There's one stunt where I jumped off a balcony. They asked me if I wanted to do it, and apparently they were having bets that I wouldn't do it. And I proved them all wrong." Check out the video, and the new The Host posters of Ronan and Costar Max Irons below.

Brian Wilson Calls Mike Love Out In Latest Beach Boys Controversy
Thursday, October 11, 2012
The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson and Al Jardine have countered Mike Love's recent explanation of how and why the group's 50th anniversary ended with Love deciding to keep his backing band as the Beach Boys from here on out. Love recently posted an explanation in The Los Angeles Times that the band's plans were for a finite reunion -- that actually stretched on 25 additional shows than the 50 the Beach Boys band had originally announced. He maintains that he's clueless as to why Wilson and Jardine are confused that he's going back to his touring lineup with longtime member Bruce Johnston, as he claims it was agreed upon before the reunion.
Brian Wilson posted the piece in Tuesday's (October 9th) L.A. Times and touched upon the fact that the press ran with the incorrect line that Wilson had been "fired" by Love.
Among the key points that Wilson posts in his article are:
"The negativity surrounding all the comments bummed me out. What's confusing is that by Mike not wanting or letting Al, David (Marks) and me tour with the band, it sort of feels like we're being fired. What's a bummer to Al and me is that we have numerous offers to continue, so why wouldn't we want to? We all poured our hearts and souls into that album and the fans rewarded us by giving us a Number Three debut on the Billboard (Album) charts, and selling out our shows. We were all blown away by the response."
"Al and I would like to be included in the continuous promotion of That's Why God Made The Radio. That's what I've been doing for over a decade: making records and going out and supporting them. It's what I do. Capitol Records has been so cool to us this year in terms of supporting the 50th and I personally want to say thanks."
"Mike kept saying throughout the tour, 'The whole is greater than the sum of its parts,' and both Al and I agree, which made us all think that he wanted to continue. We originally started out with 50 shows, but the success and the demand kept growing and we obliged. No one knew in the beginning that this was going to be so rewarding and popular with our fans. Once we got cooking we were all stoked!"
"I'm disappointed that Mike would now say that the release was done at the request of my representative. The first I heard about it was at the Grammy Museum event. We hadn't even discussed as a band what we were going to do with all the offers that were coming in for more 50th shows."
"Al and I just assumed based on everyone's enthusiasm we would at least want to take those offers into consideration since we all knew about them. I mean, who wouldn't want to play the Hollywood Bowl again, Madison Square Garden and Wrigley Field? And what better way to celebrate New Year's Eve than with the 50th band? That would have blown the lid off things."
"There were also offers for more shows in the U.K. and markets we weren't able to play during the tour. As I said before, it's my opinion that we should all go out together as the Beach Boys in support of all our new releases. We really weren't out on the road that long for an anniversary of this magnitude and I actually think we should make one last record together. . . It's Al and my opinion that all of us together makes for a great representation of the Beach Boys."
Noted Beach Boys historian Jon Stebbins who recently published the critically acclaimed new book, The Beach Boys FAQ: Everything That's Left To Know About America's Band, told us that although people refer to Al Jardine as the band's secret weapon due to his ageless vocals -- he's always been an MVP within the Beach Boys: "He certainly was not invisible on their records. Y'know, in their sound, I think he was a real great texture to their vocals. Just, y'know, another part of the spectrum or their prism of colors that comes through in their harmonies. Y'know, you've got the three brothers and the cousin -- but you add him to it and it just blasts into vividness in their harmonies."

Well, my girlfriend and I are pregnant again, technically she's the one who is but you get it. This is the second time she has been pregnant, back in October 12' we found out she was pregnant only to have a miscarriage a week later. After some recovery time, we found out today (December 18th) that she is pregnant yet again. This time around, unfortunately there are more problems.
Before I go into detail, here is some important info.
- First day of her last period - November 16th
- Her cycle is usually 28 days
- She was suppose to start her period on December 14th
- December 18th - Went to doctor and had a + test
Like mentioned above, we went to the doctor on December 18th and she took a + pregnancy test. The doctor also did and early ultra sound and said that "The placenta had not completely attached to her uterus."
Can someone with knowledge of this please explain this better to me as to why this would happen.
She has had very light bleeding but the doctor said that was from when it had partially attached.

Publication: The Day
Groton - Poquonnock Bridge Fire Chief Todd Paige said Tuesday that he cannot run the department on a $3.5 million budget, that the budget would "decimate public safety," and that closing the Fort Hill Station would increase response times by 3 to 4 minutes.
Paige, who has been chief for 12 years, said the fire district board has not met with him since May 9 and he's still waiting for guidance. He said he looked at potential cuts and found that even if he laid off firefighters, the department would not save money because he'd have to pay others overtime to meet minimum staffing requirements.
"It would totally decimate public safety," he said. "You cannot operate the department at $3.5 million and observe public safety and honor your legal obligations."
Legal obligations include not only the union contract, but items such as liability insurance, fees for fire hydrants and electricity to run the station, Paige said.
"It's up to (board members) which obligation they're going to violate," he said.
Voters approved the $3.5 million budget for the fiscal year starting July 1 after rejecting a higher amount proposed by the board. The $3.5 million is not enough to cover payroll. Taxpayers also elected three new members.
Incoming board president Alan Ackley said last week that one option would be to close the 13 Fort Hill Road station, relocate career firefighters to the second station on Long Hill Road and start a new volunteer company. These changes would require majority approval of the board.
Councilor Harry Watson said he believes the Town Council should discuss the issue.
Watson said the Fort Hill station is "right around the corner" from a neighborhood with hundreds of wood-frame houses and is the closer of the two fire stations to town-owned property including Town Hall, the Town Hall Annex, the Human Services Department, the Groton Town police station, Groton Public Library, Groton Senior Center and Robert E. Fitch High School.
"We need to talk about it as a council, because if there is any risk of our citizens not being safely taken care of, that's our responsibility as a council," Watson said. Poquonnock Bridge is the largest of Groton's nine fire districts and covers 12 square miles.
Larry Nelson, vice president of the Poquonnock Bridge Neighborhood Association, said the area needs its neighborhood station.
"If your house is burning or you're dying of a heart attack, 2 miles is a long way," he said.
District board member Ron Yuhas, who lives on South Road and would be affected by closing Fort Hill, said shuttering the station would affect response times. But he said district taxpayers won't support spending more, so the board has to act.
"I understand that there are people, some that are scared, and some that have legitimate concerns," he said. "And some are scared for no reason. But you can only do so much with so much money."
Yuhas said it also doesn't make sense that other departments manage with less money and still maintain public safety, yet it can't be done in Poquonnock Bridge.
"How is the rest of the town running on half of what we're running on?" Yuhas said. "It's not a fair financial situation right now for us to be paying four times more than Mystic."
The new board will make decisions when it meets after July 1, Yuhas said.
Paige said closing the Fort Hill station would save $40,000, not including the cost of relocating the fire marshal's office and storing vehicles and equipment. He said it would increase response time by 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the location of the call.
For example, responding to Claude Chester Elementary School from the Long Hill Station would take 3 to 4 minutes of travel time plus 2 minutes to dispatch the call and get trucks and equipment out of the station, for a total of 5 to 6 minutes. The response to Fitch High School would take 8 to 9 minutes from the Long Hill Station, Paige said.
The average response time in Poquonnock Bridge is about 4.25 minutes, Paige said.
Editor's note: This corrects an earlier version of this paragraph. The chief also said staffing is driven not only by the union contract but by what the department needs in practice. Under the union contract, the department must be staffed with a minimum of five firefighters per shift, and the department assigns three to Long Hill and two to Fort Hill, Paige said. Minimum staffing has been in place for at least 15 years, he said.
But in practice, staffing levels tend to be higher than what is specified in the contract: A majority of the time, there are at least six firefighters on duty between the two stations.
One reason is that there must be four firefighters at a scene before any may enter a building, under Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations.
The rule, called "two in, two out," means firefighters must enter a building with a buddy, and have at least two outside to help if something goes wrong. The exception is if there's someone known to be trapped inside.
Paige said firefighters may enter a burning structure to save a life under this exception, but to cut staff to that level as policy "would put firefighters at great risk" and would be "irresponsible."
Paige said Poquonnock Bridge differs from other districts in that most of its fires occur in multi-family and commercial buildings. He said these are complicated because smoke and fire may spread to areas with people still inside, such as in an apartment complex with many units.
Libby Gernhard, who lives on Midway Oval and served on the Neighborhood Revitalization Zone in Poquonnock Bridge, said she'd like to see the Fort Hill station stay open. But, she said, she understands it might not be possible.
Her husband, Jack Gernhard, who attended the fire district's annual meeting, said he believes the problem is the union contract. He said the district board needs to get out of it, even if that means asking the governor for permission to declare bankruptcy.
Libby Gernhard said she would support the board if it closed the station near her.
"If we have to do it, we have to do it," she said. "And I'd have to go along with it. Because you can't have everything you want."

By Amy LangeFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- Sasha was shivering, chained up and stuck out in the cold. With the temperature at only 12 degrees, a dog house with hay just wasn't enough. Her water was freezing so fast she couldn't drink it. The people watching her had nowhere else to put her.A man had been watching Sasha for his girlfriend, then ended up in jail. Poor Sasha was outside for four days during the coldest temperatures we've seen in years.Fortunately, Detroit Dog Rescue has answered our call for help."Dogs' under bodies have no fur. The exposure, it's dangerous, and what happens is the body and the organs start to shut down eventually and it dies a slow death," says Dante Dasaro.He came with his team to pick up Sasha. She was thrilled to be off the chain and heading for warmth.Sasha is quite a love. She will be checked out by a vet and eventually up for adoption on the DDR Facebook page and website.In the meantime, if you have a pet please bring him or her inside."Everybody... take your dog in right now when it's this cold. Take him or her out in small increments to go to the bathroom, but no dog should be left out in these elements right now," Dasaro says.

Tow Sports
Valcourt, Québec, September 14, 2012 – BRP today announced it will exit the sport boat business over the coming months, citing the continued global sales decline in the marine industry, particularly the drop in sales of sport boats since the financial crisis.
"This is a difficult but necessary decision for BRP," said José Boisjoli, president and CEO. "We worked hard to grow our sport boat business through a serious sales decline that began in 2007. But now, we must focus our research and development resources and capital investments in areas of our business that offer greater growth potential."
BRP entered the boat manufacturing business in 1994 and purchased the assets of Celebrity Boats in 1995, at which time it moved its facility to Benton, Illinois.
"We looked for a buyer for our sport boat business, but that effort proved unsuccessful," Boisjoli added. "Consequently, we decided not to resume production of the upcoming model year due to seasonal production planning requirements."
All impacted employees will receive a good transition package.
BRP will continue to provide parts and honor warranties for its customers.

Sorry it was negative hopefully you'll get your BFP really soon!
Afm- soo emotional and tired that I can't hardly stand myself :-/ lol
Oh and this morning going to the bathroom every few minutes lol even tho I haven't drank anything this morning lol
Good morning ladies!!! 9dpo today and ofcourse I broke down and poas... I got a super faint line on my dollar store test but its probably just a evap! You would think after two chemicals in a row I would learn my lesson but no! Lol I might test my kids pee to see if they get an evap line! TTC is making me nuts....
Okay, I must have peed last night like 6-8 times within the span of a few hours when I got home from work and I really wasn't drinking all that much. I hate that my body plays tricks on me like this. Last cycle I thought for sure I was PG and it ended up BFN.
I'm supposed to be getting af tomorrow, and I'm 100% sure she'll come *sigh*. I can't use any pee sticks as DH didn't want to go hardcore ttc til October . So I have to wait til I miss AF to poas.. *sigh*
Just checking in. No new symptoms. Coffee still tastes bad. A little crampy. That's about it.
I've been really tired the last couple of days and have had mild nausea off and on, but my boobs don't hurt at all. I was having cramps a few days ago but they have seemed to disappeared. Thinking about POASing tomorrow instead of waiting on beta on Tuesday. I don't have an FRERs though- just one HPT from the generic OPK box. Guess that will have to work, right?
Gator I can't wait!!!! Fingers crossed! What day po are you?
Come on. Poas for us. 12-13 dpo is the perfect time to. ;) Good luck!!!
Hope you get your BFP Gator and ember!!
Afm- I've felt nauseous today and off and on the last few days and I've been sooo tired have felt completely wiped out and heart acting up a little.. Bbs still sore and without me asking if they looking different my DH said they look a lil bigger!! And says my stomach looks and feels like it did last month during my chemical!! I really hope I'm expecting again and that I won't lose it again!!
I'm also soo anxious to poas but I'm trying to wait till next Sunday :-/ lol
Ok I see! I hope it surprises you and you get a beautiful dark line!!!! Waiting for good news!
So it's the 20th and AF IS TWO DAYS LATE!!! Woo hoo!!! Not sure when I'll be able to test. hope mother nature isn't throwing me for a loop.
So sorry gator
Sorry Gator. Digis aren't very sensitive so don't lose hope just yet.
I'm really icky feeling this morning . Blah!
So sorry Gator. I hope it's still too early to register on the digi and your bllodwork brings good news.
Mel (39) DH (37) Finally, a baby boy after 12 months of TTC!
April 2013 http://www.saferpills.org/
Soo I'm felt really nauseous last night and have off and on most of the day today and the last few days or week I'm have felt soo exhausted and definitely REALLY getting to me today😴 soo hard to wait till Sunday to test 😕
Hi everyone! I haven't been on in awhile, at least not to post. Been trying not to think about trying to get pregnant. I guess I am in the tww now, cd1 was 5/3 (my bday, of course!) TTC is a bummer, I hope all of us are done with this process soon!
Hey Kemommy, I have thought of you often!!

Playing around with food
20 comments:
I was given a bunch of nectarines and am making fruit leather as I type. Don't you just love this time of year. Your salads look fantatic. I am really into salad with walnuts, avocado, and black beans right now. Just a touch of asian dressing yumm-erific!ReplyDelete
I can't wait for your cookbook to come out. So many things to try! The cheese looks great, actually everything looks great!
Where in Ca does your mom live? I am in San Diego Area. I wish you the best of time with your family! Enjoy the company, I know they will enjoy the food.
I love my spiral slicer. Who says you shouldn't play with your food?ReplyDelete
between the sushi, mac &'cheese,' salad, spanikopita, nectarines, AND that dessert, I am in awe of your cooking and food photography skils - you are so talented!!ReplyDelete
Hope you have a great time with the family! Sounds like you are going to be busy, busy, busy, Mel. The food yer making for them... how lucky they are. Post a photo or two of Arwen, if you can...ReplyDelete
How fun the slicer! i don't blame you for havin' some fun with it. Wonder what else yer gonna do with that? i can see all sorts of cool stuff in the future from you.
Nectarine ice cream sounds pretty fabulous. i still haven't tried stevia... i know you are a big believer.
Have you posted the recipe for the sunflower/oat-based cheez? Sounds like it is great on all sorts of things!!
Your food pictures are more and more stunning with every new post. Oh Melody, I really wish you were my neighbor. I would love to just pop on over and have a smoothie with you.ReplyDelete
I have been drooling and dreaming about your mint cheesecake. I rarely have those ingredients on hand though so it will be a special occasion when I do finally make it. Marty loves the mint and chocolate comibnation though so I'm sure this will be in the upcoming future.
What delicious looking photos! You've done it again. Amazing!ReplyDelete
I liked your picture of Jorda in the previous post. Simon is always hanging around the kitchen when I'm cooking too & I also give him veggies to munch. He loves peppers, cucumbers, carrots, but will turn his nose up at celery. He thinks he likes cauliflower and broccoli, but then I find it all broken up on the carpet. How's the job going? Sounds like you really enjoy it.
It all looks beautiful but particularly the veggie sushi...ReplyDelete
I hope your visit with your family is wonderful and everyone's well! I hope that you can post a pic of your niece as well! (But if not, I certainly understand!!)
I love it when you play with food! That first photo of the spiralized vegetables literally made me gasp- so pretty. and same with the sushi. I'm interested in your ice cream experimentations with xantham gum. I've heard of using that or soy lecithin, but don't know much about either. I have some xantham gum sitting in the kitchen, and have no idea what to do with it!ReplyDelete
Have fun with your family and your neice!
what a beautiful presentation! now i sort of fancy having a spiral slicer... it's fun to play with food, no?ReplyDelete

great massage oil nice glide not greasy and washe sout well
I like the consistency and glide of this oil. I still do deep work with it, I just use a bit less when doing so. I like that this oil doesn't contain any ingredients that any of my clients have been allergic to. It also cleans nicely out of my linens.
nice oil great glide not too slippery washes out easily has no oily smell
I have been using Bon Vital Natural for a few years and really like it. It has excellent glide without being too oily. I use it for even for deeper treatments, just a bit less. It cleans nicely out of my microfiber sheets. I like that it is unscented and doesn't contain common allergens.
Have used this for years & love that it is unscented & so I can make up my own special fragrances & muscle soothing mixtures & have completely unscented for customers who prefer that or have allergies. No nut oils, so that's a plus. Nice glide.

1906 - 1911 | 1912 - 1961 | 1965 - 1989 | 1990 - 2007 | 2008 - Today
Historical Timeline
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is an American icon and the world's greatest racecourse. With more than 250,000 permanent seats, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is also the world's largest seating facility.
Since its opening, the Speedway has been a proving ground for automobiles and an important factor in the development of the present-day automobile. The Speedway also has been the scene of 97 Indianapolis 500 Mile Races, 19 Brickyard 400 NASCAR events, eight United States Grand Prix Formula One events and 6 Red Bull Indianapolis GP MotoGP races, playing host to some of the biggest names in racing history.
Below is a chronological timeline of some of the many highlights in the Speedway's rich 100+ year history.
Nov. 15, 1906: A letter from American entrepreneur Carl Fisher appears in Motor Age magazine, touting the need for a 3- to 5-mile test track in America. Fisher states the idea "has been a hobby of mine for the past three years."
Dec. 12, 1908: By this date, Fisher associate Lem Trotter has secured the options to buy the four adjoining 80-acre tracts of farmland northwest of the city on which the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be built.
Feb. 8, 1909: The Aero Club of America announces from New York that the Grand Prize event, the U.S. National Balloon Championships, has been awarded to Indianapolis and that it will take place June 5 at the "Indiana Motor Parkway," which will later be called the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Indianapolis has outbid St. Louis for the event. Also, recent announcements indicate that the track is trying to land the FAM (Federation of American Motorcyclists) races, which normally have been held on the East Coast in July.
March 1, 1909: The dimensions of the planned track have been changed. The first draft called for a 3-mile "outer" course, which could, if so chosen, be linked up with a 2-mile road course through the infield to combine for a 5-mile lap. It has now been decided to reduce the "outer" course to 2.5 miles and increase the optional road course section to 2.5 miles so that the combined lap will still be 5 miles. The drawback to the 3-mile course was that, while it would certainly fit onto the available property, there would be no room for grandstands on the outsides of the straights. By leaving the four turns at exactly 440 yards each from entrance to exit, and reducing the length of the straights, a 2.5-mile outer track could be produced, allowing for grandstands on the outside.
March 9, 1909: Driver Lewis Strang, on his way from Chicago to Daytona Beach, Fla., stops in Indianapolis and is taken to visit the site of the "motor parkway," which will soon be known as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He poses for a photo which, almost 100 years later, will be titled "The Vision." The major work has not yet begun, but an 8-foot-long scale miniature of the 2.5-mile rectangular-shaped oval sits at the southeast corner of the property so that passersby on the Crawfordsville Pike (later West 16th Street) can see what is planned.
March 11, 1909: The Indianapolis Sun (later The Indianapolis Times) makes reference to the track as the "Indianapolis motor speedway," rather than the "motor parkway," using a lowercase "m" for "motor" and a lowercase "s" for "speedway."
March 20, 1909: The articles of incorporation of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Company (rather than corporation) are signed, and the company is officially formed. Although the papers were due to be filed Feb. 8, for reasons unknown the articles are not signed by all parties until March 20.
End of March 1909: Grading work begins to convert the IMS Company's property from farmland to a 2.5-mile oval. King Brothers of Montezuma, Ind., has been awarded the contract for grading and New York-based engineer P. T. Andrews has been hired as superintendent of construction.
June 5, 1909: On this Saturday afternoon, the Speedway plays host to its first competitive event, the Aero Club of America's U.S. National Balloon Championships, while construction of the 2.5-mile oval continues.
Aug. 13, 1909: The first of two scheduled days of motorcycle racing is completely rained out.
Aug. 14, 1909: The rescheduled first day of motorcycle competition is severely hampered by the terrible condition of the track surface, which is a mixture of crushed rock and tar. Many riders refuse to compete. The 10-event program is reduced to eight, of which only seven are held, while the second day, rescheduled for Monday, Aug. 16, is canceled completely. A. G. Chapple beats six other riders in the opening 5-mile handicap on Saturday. With the cancellation of event number 8, the 10-lap, 25-mile FAM championship event for professionals, the final race of the day ends up being the four-lap 10-mile amateur championship won by E.G. Baker, who in a few years will gain considerable fame as the legendary perennial transcontinental record-breaker "Cannon Ball" Baker.
Aug. 19, 1909: Three days of automobile racing, totaling 18 events, kick off with a two-lap, standing-start event won by Louis Schwitzer, who will later achieve fame as an industrialist. Other races are won by Louis Chevrolet and Ray Harroun. In the final event of the day, the 250-mile race for the Prest-O-Lite trophy, Billy Borque, who won a race earlier in the day, is fatally injured along with his riding mechanic.
Aug. 21, 1909: After a relatively problem-free day two, the third day ends in disaster when the 300-mile race for the $10,000 Wheeler-Schebler trophy is halted due to accidents at the 235-mile mark. The regrettable loss of life over the three days amounts to one driver, two riding mechanics and two spectators. The track surface obviously is inadequate, and management quickly meets to seek a solution.
Sept. 18, 1909: Shortly after the decision is made to resurface the track with street-paving bricks, workmen unload two railcars of bricks from the Peoria & Eastern Railway station across from the IMS main entrance. The bricks are transported into the grounds via horse and cart, and work soon commences on laying down the 3.2 million of them. About 90 percent of the bricks, known as "Culver Blocks" for patent holder Ruben Culver, come from the Wabash Clay Company in Veedersburg, Ind., while the balance comes from nearby subcontractors.
Dec. 10, 1909: The brick-paving job is completed, 63 days after work began. Even before the work is done, locals have nicknamed the track "The Brickyard."
Dec. 17, 1909: Despite 10-degree temperatures, Indiana Gov. Thomas R. Marshall dedicates the new surface by placing a "gold" brick (actually gold-plated brass) in the track. Newell Motsinger, driving an Empire, is the first to take an official time trial.
Dec 18, 1909: With temperatures only a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday, Lewis Strang braves the cold and laps the track at 91.81 mph, covering the flying mile at 111.8.
May 27, 1910: The first day of a three-day meet gets underway, with Louis Chevrolet winning the first of 10 planned races, a 5-mile dash, in a Buick entry.
May 28, 1910: Ray Harroun wins the 200-mile Wheeler-Schebler Trophy race. An estimated 25,000 attend the day's events.
May 30, 1910: Approximately 50,000 spectators crowd into IMS for the final day of the three-day meet, many being forced into the infield because the grandstands are full. Ray Harroun wins the 50-mile race for the Remy Grand Brassard trophy - exactly one year to the day before he will win the inaugural Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. Ironically, Harroun has escaped injury in a hard crash earlier in the day, in a Marmon "Wasp" carrying the No. 32 - the same number as his "500"-winning entry will be a year from now. Everyone seems happy with the new surface as, other than for one broken leg, there are no serious injuries.
June 13, 1910: The National Aviation Meet gets underway at IMS, featuring world-famous pioneers of flight Orville and Wilbur Wright.
June 17, 1910: Walter Brookins, a member of the "Wright Flyers," sets an international altitude record by achieving a height of 4,938 feet during the National Aviation Meet. Brookins beats his own previous record of 4,187 feet, set earlier in the week at IMS.
July 1-2 and 4, 1910: Additional races take place at IMS, but crowds are significantly lower due to an ongoing heat wave and holiday activities around the area. Controversy will envelop events several weeks later, as sanctioning body AAA disqualifies the cars entered as Buick-Marquettes because they do not qualify as "stock" automobiles.
Sept. 3 and 5, 1910: The final auto races of 1910 are held, the scheduled three-day meet being shortened to two. Ray Harroun wins 5-mile sprints on both days, while Johnny Aitken wins the finale on Sept. 5, a 200-miler, in a National. Holiday activities, including a huge parade downtown, hold Monday's crowd to about 18,000, causing management to reconsider its options for 1911. While the private testing by automobile companies has been flourishing, perhaps too much racing has been offered.
Sept. 6, 1910: Local newspapers reveal that IMS management is considering a single major racing event for 1911, featuring a huge purse, in the range of $30,000. The founders initially discuss a 1,000-mile or 24-hour race, but as the papers report a few days later, they settle on a 500-mile event to take place on Memorial Day 1911.
Sept. 17, 1910: The National Balloon Championships return to IMS. Nine balloons qualify for the championship race, and four compete in a "Free-for-All" race.
May 30, 1911: The first Indianapolis 500 Mile Race, initially named the "International Sweepstakes," is won by Ray Harroun at an average speed of 74.602 mph. Except during America's involvement in World Wars I and II, the Indianapolis 500 will be an annual event from now on. Almost a century later, many historians will look back on this event as perhaps the first to feature the use of a pace car, and they will also credit Harroun's Marmon "Wasp" as the first automobile to use a rearview mirror.
1912: The Indianapolis 500 became the highest paying sporting event in the world when Carl Fisher increased the total purse to $50,000 and first prize to $20,000.
1913: A four-tier tower of the Japanese pagoda design was erected. It was razed using fire in 1925 to make way for a larger Pagoda of similar design.
1920: The four-lap qualification format was introduced. Driver Art Klein was the first to post a "time trial" under this format.
1923: Tommy Milton became the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 two times (his first win was in 1921). With the exception of one car, this was also the first time the entire field used single-seat cars during the "500."
1925: Peter DePaolo won the Indianapolis 500 and became the first driver to average faster than 100 mph. It was also the first time substantial radio broadcasts took place at the track - WFBM of Indianapolis and WGN from Chicago.
1926: The original Pagoda, which was razed with fire after the 1925 Indianapolis 500, was replaced with a similar yet slightly larger version in time for the 1926 race.
