Bob Hope, KBE, KCSG, KSS, born Leslie Townes Hope (May 29, 1903 – July 27, 2003), was an English-born American comedian, vaudevillian, actor, singer, dancer, author, and athlete who appeared on Broadway, in vaudeville, movies, television, and on the radio. He was noted for his numerous United Service Organizations (USO) shows entertaining American military personnel—he made 57 tours for the USO between 1941 and 1991. Throughout his long career, he was honored for this work. In 1997, the U.S. Congress declared him the "first and only honorary veteran of the U.S. armed forces."[2]
With a career spanning over 60 years, Hope appeared in over 70 films and shorts, including a series of "Road" movies co-starring Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. In addition to hosting the Academy Awards fourteen times, he appeared in many stage productions and television roles, and was the author of fourteen books. He participated in the sports of golf and boxing, and owned a small stake in his hometown baseball team, the Cleveland Indians. He was married to performer Dolores Hope (née DeFina) for 69 years. Hope died at age 100.
Early years[edit]
Hope was born in Eltham, London, UK, the fifth of seven sons. His English father, William Henry Hope, was a stonemason from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, and his Welsh mother, Avis Townes, was a light opera singer from Barry who later worked as a cleaning woman. They married in April 1891 and lived at 12 Greenwood Street, before moving to Whitehall and then St George in Bristol. In 1908 the family emigrated to the United States aboard the SS Philadelphia, and passed through Ellis Island on March 30, 1908, before moving to Cleveland, Ohio.[3]
From age 12, Hope earned pocket money by busking (frequently on the streetcar to Luna Park), singing, dancing, and performing comedy patter.[4] He entered many dancing and amateur talent contests (as Lester Hope), and won a prize in 1915 for his impersonation of Charlie Chaplin.[5] For a time Hope attended the Boys Industrial School in Lancaster, Ohio. As an adult, Hope donated sizable sums of money to the institution.[6]
Hope worked as a butcher's assistant and a lineman in his teens and early twenties. Deciding on a show business career, he and his girlfriend signed up for dance lessons. Encouraged after they performed in a three-day engagement at a club, Hope formed a partnership with Lloyd Durbin, a friend from the dance school.[7] Silent film comedian Fatty Arbuckle saw them perform in 1925 and found them work with a touring troupe called Hurley's Jolly Follies. Within a year, Hope had formed an act called the Dancemedians with George Byrne and the Hilton Sisters, conjoined twins who performed a tap dancing routine in the vaudeville circuit. Hope and Byrne had an act as a pair of Siamese twins as well, and danced and sang while wearing blackface, before friends advised Hope that he was funnier as himself.[8] In 1929, he informally changed his first name to "Bob". In one version of the story, he named himself after racecar driver Bob Burman.[9] In another, he said he chose Bob because he wanted a name with a friendly "Hiya, fellas!" sound to it.[10] In a 1942 legal document, Hope's legal name is given as Lester Townes Hope; it is unknown if this reflects a legal name change from Leslie.[11]
After five years on the vaudeville circuit, Hope was surprised and humbled when he failed a 1930 screen test for the French film production company Pathé at Culver City, California.[12]
In the early days, Hope's career included appearances on stage in Vaudeville shows and Broadway productions. He began performing on the radio in 1934 and switched to television when that medium became popular in the 1950s. He began doing regular TV specials in 1954,[13] and hosted the Academy Awards fourteen times in the period from 1941 to 1978.[14] Overlapping with this was his movie career, spanning the years 1934 to 1972, and his USO tours, which he did from 1941 to 1991.[15][16]
Hope signed a contract for six short films with Educational Pictures of New York. The first was a comedy, Going Spanish (1934). He was not happy with the film, and told Walter Winchell, "When they catch John Dillinger, they're going to make him sit through it twice."[17] Educational dropped his contract, but he soon signed with Warner Brothers. He made movies during the day and performed Broadway shows in the evenings.[18]
Hope moved to Hollywood when Paramount Pictures signed him for the 1938 film The Big Broadcast of 1938, also starring W. C. Fields. The song "Thanks for the Memory", which later became his trademark, was introduced in this film as a duet with Shirley Ross as accompanied by Shep Fields and his orchestra.[19] The sentimental, fluid nature of the music allowed Hope's writers (he depended heavily upon joke writers throughout his career[20]) to later create variations of the song to fit specific circumstances, such as bidding farewell to troops while on tour.[21]
As a movie star, he was best known for comedies like My Favorite Brunette and the highly successful "Road" movies in which he starred with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. The series consists of seven films made between 1940 and 1962. Hope had seen Lamour as a nightclub singer in New York,[22] and invited her to work on his United Service Organizations (USO) tours. Lamour sometimes arrived for filming prepared with her lines, only to be baffled by completely re-written scripts or ad-lib dialogue between Hope and Crosby.[23] Hope and Lamour were lifelong friends, and she remains the actress most associated with his film career. Hope made movies with dozens of other leading ladies, including Katharine Hepburn, Hedy Lamarr, Lucille Ball, Rosemary Clooney, Jane Russell and Elke Sommer.[24]
Hope teamed with Crosby for the "Road" pictures and countless stage, radio, and television appearances over the decades, from their first meeting in 1932[25] until Crosby's death in 1977. The two invested together in oil leases and other business ventures, but did not see each other socially.[26]
After the release of Road to Singapore (1940), Hope's screen career took off, and he had a long and successful career in the movies. After an 11-year hiatus, Hope and Crosby teamed up for the last Road movie, The Road to Hong Kong (1962), starring 28-year old Joan Collins in place of Lamour, who Hope and Crosby thought was too old for the part.[27] They had planned one more movie together in 1977, The Road to the Fountain of Youth. Filming was postponed when Crosby was injured in a fall, and the production was cancelled when he suddenly died of heart failure that October.[28]
Hope starred in 54 theatrical features between 1938 and 1972,[29] as well as cameos and short films. Most of Hope's later movies failed to match the success of his 1940s efforts. He was disappointed with his appearance in Cancel My Reservation (1972), his last film, and the movie was poorly received by critics and filmgoers.[30]
Hope was host of the Academy Awards ceremony fourteen times between 1939 and 1977. His feigned desire for an Academy Award became part of his act.[14] Although he was never nominated for an Oscar, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored him with four honorary awards, and in 1960, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. While introducing the 1968 telecast, he quipped, "Welcome to the Academy Awards, or, as it's known at my house, Passover."[31]
Hope's career in broadcasting began on radio in 1934. His first regular series for NBC Radio was the Woodbury Soap Hour in 1937, a 26-week contract. A year later, The Pepsodent Show Starring Bob Hope began, and Hope signed a ten-year contract with the show's sponsor, Lever Brothers. The show became the top radio program in the country. Regulars on the series included Jerry Colonna and Barbara Jo Allen as spinster Vera Vague. Hope continued his lucrative career in radio through to the 1950s, when radio's popularity was overshadowed by television.[32][33]
NBC comedy specials[edit]
Hope did many specials for the NBC television network in the following decades, beginning in April 1950. He was one of the first people to use cue cards. The shows were often sponsored by General Motors (1955–1961), Chrysler (1963–73), and Texaco (1975–1985).[34] Hope's Christmas specials were popular favorites and often featured a performance of "Silver Bells" (from his 1951 film The Lemon Drop Kid) done as a duet with an often much younger female guest star (such as Olivia Newton-John, Barbara Eden, and Brooke Shields[35]), or with his wife Dolores, with whom he dueted on two specials. Hope's 1970 and 1971 Christmas specials for NBC—filmed in Vietnam in front of military audiences at the height of the war—are on the list of the Top 46 U.S. network prime-time telecasts. Both were seen by more than 60 per cent of the U.S. households watching television.[36]
In 1992, Hope made a guest appearance as himself on The Simpsons, in the episode "Lisa the Beauty Queen" (season 4, episode 4).[37] Towards the end of his career, eye problems left him unable to read his cue cards.[38] His 90th birthday television celebration in May 1993, Bob Hope: The First 90 Years, won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Special.[39] In October 1996 Hope announced that he was ending his 60-year contract with NBC, joking that he "decided to become a free agent".[40] His final television special, Laughing with the Presidents, was broadcast in November 1996, with host Tony Danza helping him present a personal retrospective of presidents of the United States known to the comedian. The special received poor reviews.[41] Following a brief appearance at the 50th Primetime Emmy Awards in 1997, Hope's last TV appearance was in a 1997 K-Mart commercial directed by Penny Marshall.[42]
While aboard the RMS Queen Mary when World War II began in September 1939, Hope volunteered to perform a special show for the passengers, during which he sang "Thanks for the Memory" with rewritten lyrics.[43] He performed his first USO show on May 6, 1941, at March Field, California,[44] and continued to travel and entertain troops for the rest of World War II, later during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the third phase of the Lebanon Civil War, the latter years of the Iran–Iraq War, and the 1990–1991 Persian Gulf War.[16] His USO career lasted half a century, during which he headlined 57 tours.[16] He had a deep respect for the men and women who served in the military, and this was reflected in his willingness to go anywhere in order to entertain them.[45] During the Vietnam War, Hope had trouble convincing some performers to join him on tour. Anti-war sentiment was high, and Hope's pro-war stance made him a target of criticism. Some shows were drowned out by boos and others were listened to in silence.[46] The tours were funded by the United States Department of Defense, his television sponsors, and by NBC, the network which broadcast the television specials that were created after each tour. Many people considered him as an enabler of the war and a member of the system that made it possible.[47]
Hope recruited his own family members for USO travel. His wife, Dolores, sang from atop an armored vehicle during the Desert Storm tour, and his granddaughter, Miranda, appeared alongside Hope on an aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean.[45] Of Hope's USO shows in World War II, writer John Steinbeck, who was then working as a war correspondent, wrote in 1943:
When the time for recognition of service to the nation in wartime comes to be considered, Bob Hope should be high on the list. This man drives himself and is driven. It is impossible to see how he can do so much, can cover so much ground, can work so hard, and can be so effective. He works month after month at a pace that would kill most people.[48]
For his service to his country through the USO, he was awarded the Sylvanus Thayer Award by the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1968.[49] A 1997 act of Congress signed by President Bill Clinton named Hope an "Honorary Veteran." He remarked, "I've been given many awards in my lifetime — but to be numbered among the men and women I admire most — is the greatest honor I have ever received."[50] In homage to Hope, Stephen Colbert carried a golf club on stage each night during his own week of USO performances, which were taped for his TV show, The Colbert Report, during the 2009 season.[51]
Hope's first Broadway appearances, in 1927's The Sidewalks of New York and 1928's Ups-a-Daisy, were minor walk-on parts.[52] He returned to Broadway in 1933 to star as Huckleberry Haines in the Jerome Kern / Dorothy Fields musical Roberta.[53] Stints in the musicals Say When, the 1936 Ziegfeld Follies (with Fanny Brice), and Red, Hot and Blue with Ethel Merman and Jimmy Durante followed.[54] Hope reprised his role as Huck Haines in a 1958 production of Roberta at The Muny Theater in Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri.[55]
Hope rescued Eltham Little Theatre from closure by providing funds to buy the property. He continued his interest and support and regularly visited when in London. The Theatre was renamed in his honor in 1982.[56]
Critical reception[edit]
Hope was praised for his comedic timing, specializing in one-liners and rapid-fire delivery of jokes. His style of delivery of self-deprecating jokes, first building himself up and then tearing himself down, was unique. Working tirelessly, he performed hundreds of times per year.[57] Early films such as The Cat and the Canary (1939) and The Paleface (1948) were financially successful and were praised by critics,[58] and by the mid-1940s, with his radio program getting good ratings as well, he became one of the most popular entertainers in the United States.[59] When Paramount threatened to stop production of the Road pictures in 1945, they received 75,000 letters in protest.[60] He had no faith in his skills as a dramatic actor, and his performances of that type were not as well received.[61] Hope had been a leader in the radio genre until the late 1940s, but as his ratings began to slip, he switched to television in the 1950s, an early pioneer of that medium.[35][62] He published several books—written with ghostwriters—about his wartime experiences.[59]
Although he made an effort to keep his material up-to-date, he never adapted his comic persona or his routines to any great degree. By the 1970s his popularity was beginning to wane with soldiers and with the movie-going public.[63] However, he continued doing USO tours into the 1980s,[64] and he continued to appear on television into the 1990s. Nancy Reagan called him "America's most honored citizen and our favorite clown."[65]

Hope had a brief career as a boxer in 1919 fighting under the name Packy East. He had three wins and one loss, and participated in a few staged charity bouts later in life.[66]
Hope was an avid golfer, playing in as many as 150 charity tournaments a year.[67] Introduced to the game in the 1930s while performing in Winnipeg,[68] he eventually played to a four handicap. His love for the game—and the humor he could find in it—made him a sought-after foursome member. He once remarked that President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave up golf for painting – "fewer strokes, you know."[69] "It's wonderful how you can start out with three strangers in the morning, play 18 holes, and by the time the day is over you have three solid enemies," he once said.[70]
A golf club became an integral prop for Hope during the standup segments of his television specials and USO shows. In 1978, he putted against a then two-year-old Tiger Woods in a television appearance with James Stewart on The Mike Douglas Show.[71]
The Bob Hope Classic, founded in 1960, made history in 1995 when Hope teed up for the opening round in a foursome which included Presidents Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton – the only time when three presidents played in the same golf foursome.[72] Now known as the Humana Challenge, it was the only PGA Tour tournament that took place over five rounds, until the 2012 tournament, when it was cut back to the conventional four rounds.[73] Hope bought a small stake in the Cleveland Indians baseball team in 1946[74] and owned it for most of the rest of his life.[75] He appeared on the June 3, 1963, cover of Sports Illustrated magazine wearing an Indians uniform,[76] and sang a special version of "Thanks for the Memory" after the Indians' last game at Cleveland Stadium.[77] Hope bought a share of the Los Angeles Rams football team in 1947 with Bing Crosby[78] and sold it in 1962.[79] He would frequently use his television specials to promote the annual College Football All-America Team. The players would enter the stage one-by-one and introduce themselves, and Hope, often dressed in a football uniform, would give a one-liner about the player or his school.[80]
Personal life[edit]
Hope's first short-lived marriage was to his vaudeville partner, Grace Louise Troxell, whom he married in January 1933.[81] In 1934, Hope married Dolores (DeFina) Reade, who had been one of his costars on Broadway in Roberta.[82] They adopted four children at an adoption agency called The Cradle, in Evanston, Illinois: Linda (1939), Tony (1940), Kelly (1946), and Nora (1946).[83] From them he had several grandchildren, including Andrew, Miranda, and Zachary Hope. Tony (as Anthony J. Hope) served as a presidential appointee in the George H. W. Bush and Clinton administrations and in a variety of posts under Presidents Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan.[84]
Extramarital affairs[edit]
Hope had a reputation as a womanizer and continued to see other women in spite of his marriage.[85] In 1949, while Hope was in Dallas on a publicity tour for his radio show, he met starlet Barbara Payton, a contract player at Universal Studios, who at the time was on her own public relations jaunt. Shortly thereafter, Hope set Payton up in an apartment in Hollywood.[86] The arrangement soured as Hope was not able to satisfy Payton's definition of generosity and her need for attention.[87] Hope paid her off to end the affair quietly. Payton later revealed the affair in an article printed in July 1956 in Confidential.[88] "Hope was ... at times a mean-spirited individual with the ability to respond with a ruthless vengeance when sufficiently provoked."[89] His advisors counseled him to avoid further publicity by ignoring the Confidential exposé.[89] "Barbara's ... revelations caused a minor ripple ... and then quickly sank without causing any appreciable damage to Bob Hope's legendary career."[89] According to Arthur Marx's Hope biography, The Secret Life of Bob Hope, Hope's subsequent long-term affair with actress Marilyn Maxwell was so open that the Hollywood community routinely referred to her as "Mrs. Bob Hope".[90]
Hope served as an active honorary chairman on the board of Fight for Sight. He hosted their Lights On telecast in 1960 and donated $100,000 to establish the Bob Hope Fight for Sight Fund.[91] He recruited numerous top celebrities for the annual "Lights On" fundraiser; as an example, he hosted Joe Frazier, Yvonne DeCarlo, and Sergio Franchi as headliners for the show at Philharmonic Hall in Milwaukee on April 25, 1971.[92]
Later years[edit]
Hope continued an active career past his 75th birthday, concentrating on his television specials and USO tours. Although he had given up starring in movies after Cancel My Reservation, he made several cameos in various films and co-starred with Don Ameche in the 1986 TV movie A Masterpiece of Murder.[93] A television special created for his 80th birthday in 1983 at the Kennedy Center in Washington featured President Ronald Reagan, Lucille Ball, George Burns, and many others.[94] In 1985, he was presented with the Life Achievement Award at the Kennedy Center Honors,[95] and in 1998 he was appointed an honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. Upon accepting the appointment, Hope quipped, "I'm speechless. 70 years of ad lib material and I'm speechless."[96]
At the age of 95, Hope made an appearance at the 50th anniversary of the Primetime Emmy Awards with Milton Berle and Sid Caesar.[97] Two years later, he was present at the opening of the Bob Hope Gallery of American Entertainment at the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress has presented two major exhibitions about Hope's life – "Hope for America: Performers, Politics and Pop Culture" and "Bob Hope and American Variety."[98][99]
Hope celebrated his 100th birthday on May 29, 2003.[100] He is among a small group of notable centenarians in the field of entertainment. To mark this event, the intersection of Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles was named "Bob Hope Square" and his centennial was declared "Bob Hope Day" in 35 states. Even at 100, Hope maintained his self-deprecating sense of humor, quipping, "I'm so old, they've canceled my blood type."[1] He converted to Roman Catholicism late in life.[101]
In 1998, a prepared obituary by The Associated Press was inadvertently released on the Internet, prompting Hope's death to be announced in the U.S. House of Representatives.[102][103] Hope remained in good health until old age, though he became a bit frail.[104] In June 2000 he spent nearly a week in a California hospital after being hospitalized for gastrointestinal bleeding.[105] In August 2001, he spent close to two weeks in the hospital recovering from pneumonia.[106]
On July 27, 2003, two months after his 100th birthday, Bob Hope died at his home in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles. His grandson, Zach Hope, told Soledad O'Brien that when asked on his deathbed where he wanted to be buried, Hope had told his wife, "Surprise me."[107] His remains were interred in the Bob Hope Memorial Garden at San Fernando Mission Cemetery in Los Angeles.[108] After Hope's death, many newspaper cartoonists worldwide paid tribute to his work for the USO or featured Bing Crosby (who died on October 14, 1977) welcoming Hope into heaven.[109]
Hope's Modernist 23,366-square-foot home, built to resemble a volcano, was designed in 1973 by John Lautner. Located above Palm Springs, it has panoramic views of the Coachella Valley and the San Jacinto Mountains. The house was placed on the market for the first time in February 2013 with an asking price of $50 million.[110] Hope also owned a home which had been custom built for him in 1939 on an 87,000-square-foot lot in Toluca Lake, a suburb of Los Angeles. The house was placed on the market in late 2012.[111]
Awards and honors[edit]
Hope was awarded over two thousand honors and awards, including 54 honorary doctorates. In 1963 President John F. Kennedy awarded him the Congressional Gold Medal for service to his country.[112] President Lyndon Johnson bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Hope in 1969 for his service to the men and women of the armed forces through the USO.[113] In 1982, he received the S. Roger Horchow Award for Greatest Public Service by a Private Citizen, an award given out annually by Jefferson Awards.[114] He was presented with the National Medal of Arts in 1995[115] and received the Ronald Reagan Freedom Award in 1997.[116] Hope became the 64th and only civilian recipient of the United States Air Force Order of the Sword on June 10, 1980. The Order of the Sword recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the enlisted corps.[117]
Several buildings and facilities were renamed after Hope, including the historic Fox Theater in downtown Stockton, California,[118] and the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank.[119] USNS Bob Hope (T-AKR-300) of the U.S. Military Sealift Command was named after the performer in 1997. It is one of very few U.S. naval ships that were named after living people.[120] The United States Air Force named a C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft the Spirit of Bob Hope.[121]
Academy Awards[edit]
Although he was never nominated for a competitive Oscar, Hope was awarded five honorary awards by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences:[122]
- 13th Academy Awards (1940): Special Award – in recognition of his unselfish services to the motion picture industry
- 17th Academy Awards (1944): Special Award – for his many services to the Academy
- 25th Academy Awards (1952): Honorary Award – for his contribution to the laughter of the world, his service to the motion picture industry, and his devotion to the American premise

Picking up an anti-littering ethic, NW District Association in the news (Portland Tribune)

Portland Bureau of Transportation
Railroad work requires closure of NE 148th Ave. at Interstate 84, Mon. Aug. 19 to Fri. Aug. 30
(Aug. 16, 2013) – The Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that construction of a new railroad bridge over NE 148th Ave. will require the road to be closed from 7 a.m. Monday, Aug. 19 through 5 p.m. Friday Aug. 30.
Local access will be maintained between NE Sandy Blvd. and NE Halsey Street. To cross Interstate 84, travelers should follow detour routes to use NE 122nd Ave. or NE 162nd Ave.
The closure is required because Union Pacific Railroad is building a bridge over NE 148th that will add a second set of tracks adjacent to the existing tracks.
The public is also advised to travel cautiously, observe all lane closures and directions by flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible.
This work is weather-dependent, and the schedule may change.

High-Performance Centerless Grinding Wheels Lower Abrasive Cost
Gardner Abrasives, part of Cinetic Landis Corp., offers the BDP bond system for centerless grinding applications.
CITCO Tools Relocates
CITCO Tools, a manufacturer of custom engineered cutting tools, has moved to a new facility in Concord Twp., Ohio. The facility combines 13,290 square feet of office space and 35,510 square feet of manufacturing space, both of which are temperature controlled with positive interior air pressure.
Rigidity Required When Grinding Challenging Materials
Effective centerless grinding of hard materials requires a machine that is capable of damping process vibration at high wheel speeds and providing the rigidity to withstand very high cutting forces.
Cinetic Landis Opens New Facility
Employees, company executives and guests from local academia and government recently convened in Hagerstown, Maryland to officially dedicate the new home of Cinetic Landis Corp. Speaking to an audience of more than 250, President and CEO Daniel Pheil presented the 108,700-square-foot facility as a sustainable, green foundation for the company's future progress in the design and manufacture of precision grinding equipment. The facility combines 84,700 square feet of manufacturing space and 24,000 square feet of office space.
CNC Grinder Accommodates Long Shafts
A Model Camshaft Grinding Process
Optimizing a camshaft lobe grinding cycle has traditionally been based less on science and more on educated guesswork and numerous test grinds. Now, computer thermal modeling software can predict areas where lobe burning is likely to occur, in order to determine the fastest possible work speed that won't thermally damage lobes and greatly reduce the number of requisite test grinds.
Optimizing The Grinding Process
R&D project aims to change grinding from an art to a science.
Centerless Grinding: Not Magic!
Achieving consistent and quality results from the centerless grinding process requires an understanding of the basic fundamentals. Most application problems associated with centerless grinding derive from a misunderstanding of the basics. This article explains why the centerless process works and how to use it most effectively in your shop.
Double-Disc Grinder Helps Manufacturer Of Hand Tools Strengthen Quality Control
A newly designed vertical double-disc grinding machine is allowing a leading manufacturer of multi-purpose hand tools to maintain control of tight dimensional tolerances, and excellent surface finish quality, in finish-grinding tool components.
Double-Disc Grinding On The Move
The double-disc grinding process is consolidating its position in automotive applications but is moving into other industries. Double-disc grinders are now easier to operate, and they have added capabilities for control flexibility, precision process control, faster changeovers, and grinding of nontraditional materials.

Vegetarian Mediterranean Barbecue Menu A Mediterranean-Inspired Vegetarian Barbecue Menu by Katie Sweeney 8/10/11 6 Reactions 24 Shares Print 10 3 11 0 0 Meat isn't a necessary component of alfresco entertaining; one can easily host a complete vegetarian barbecue, and I've got the perfect menu to prove it! This feast takes its inspiration from the simple but scrumptious cooking found in the countries near the Mediterranean sea. To ensure that you spend as little time as possible in a hot kitchen, most of the dishes can be assembled in advance and are cooked on the grill. If you're in need of a laid-back vegetarian menu for an upcoming party, read on for inspiration. Source: Thinkstock Start Red Pepper Hummus What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The main ingredients in this spicy red pepper hummus are from cans, so with the help of a food processor, it comes together super quickly. It can be made three to four days before you plan on hosting the party. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge; before serving, stir well and drizzle with olive oil. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 9 Pita Chips What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You can't have hummus without pita chips! Pick up this crunchy accompaniment at the store, or make your own chips at home. All you need are pita bread, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The chips will keep for several days at room temperature. Source: Thinkstock 2 / 9 Watermelon, Feta, Olive Skewers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Alongside the hummus and pita chips, offer guests these fun-to-eat skewers. The watermelon can be cubed a day in advance, but assemble the skewers just before serving. Or set out the ingredients and have guests make their own skewers! Source: Thinkstock 3 / 9 Garden and Tonic What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pour a modern twist on the gin and tonic: the garden and tonic. This recipe is easy to batch, so make a large pitcher of it an hour before the party. Place it near a bucket of ice and glasses, and let friends serve themselves as they arrive. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 9 Grilled Vegetables and Halloumi What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When you sit down to the table, offer large platters of grilled vegetables and halloumi cheese. The recipe calls for eggplant and zucchini, but use it as a guide and choose your favorite vegetables. Tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions would be equally delicious with the halloumi. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 9 Couscous What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The veggies and cheese will taste absolutely divine on a bed of quick-cooking couscous. For a bright flavor and a little heft, the couscous is tossed with lemon juice, arugula, and scallions. However, feel free to substitute in other ingredients like spinach, mint, basil, or chives. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 9 Grilled Flatbread What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't serve regular old bread with this menu, instead opt for homemade grilled flatbread. The filled dough can be made 48 hours before you plan on grilling them. Have your friends help you toss them on the barbecue just before you plate dinner. Source: Thinkstock 7 / 9 Harissa What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This North African spice paste is a mixture of two types of dried chiles and four kinds of spices. It keeps for three weeks, but if you don't feel like making your own, definitely pick up some harissa from the local market to serve with the veggies, couscous, and flatbread. It will add a much-needed kick to the menu! Source: Thinkstock 8 / 9 Fig Tart What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fig season is short and fleeting, so make use of them the second they arrive at the grocer. This fig tart with orange flower water custard is the perfect finish to a meal.

Filed under: News | Cars & Vehicles
Aug 17 2012, 2:39pm CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr
There are so many measures to evaluate a car like price, fuel economy and durability, but the most common question among the car enthusiasts is "How fast is it?" And to answer this we have done a lot of research and made a list of 10 fastest cars of the world, however it was not easy to find cars with a top speed of 200 miles or more per hour. These cars are not only super fast but also very expensive too because to achieve such high speeds a car need more power and dynamic body style. These all cars are production versions, we have not included the cars, which are either a prototype or not available on mass scale and limited to a small number. As the half of the year has been passed, so, our list of top tens include the cars which are already there and some are ready to launch by 2013. And once again we would like to remind our readers that the speed is the only measure on which we selected our top 10.
1. Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 Super Sport
Top Speed: 268 mph
Engine and Power: 8.0L W 16 Quad Turbocharged 1,200 HP (883 Kw, 1184bhp)

King Schools is launching an online flight instructor refresher course (FIRC) tailored for helicopter instructors.
"The helicopter industry is a thriving part of general aviation," said John King, co-founder of San Diego-based King Schools, with wife Martha King. "It's an unbelievably good part of GA, but helicopter instructors had always felt left out."
The courses for helicopter instructors will include video vignettes that examine a series of risk-management decisions and possible outcomes.
Matt Zuccaro, president of the Helicopter Association International (HAI), said the King courses are aimed at improving helicopter safety by addressing pilot decision-making and risk management.
"We need to change the culture of this industry," he said. "We want to embed a safety culture in our industry."
Martha King said the online courses will explore the pressures that influence pilot choices as well as ethics.
"What do you owe your customers?" she asked. "What do you owe your company, and yourself?"
The helicopter FIRCs will have the same retail price ($99 for HAI members and $124 for others) as King Schools FIRCs for fixed-wing pilots, and the helicopter courses will be available beginning in mid-September.
In other King Schools developments, the company is offering a companion iPad app that allows customers to load and view video courses without being connected to the Internet. The company is in the process of moving all of its video content to HTML so that it operates well on Apple devices.
Also, the winner of the King Schools annual sweepstakes this year will get a "mentor experience" with John and Martha King that includes round-trip airline tickets for two to San Diego, a hotel and rental car for four days, a school tour, a "blue screen" studio recording segment, $1,000 cash, and a dinner flight to Palm Springs and back in the company's Falcon 10.

I lucked into my first airplane ride in a Cherokee 140 when I was 15 years old, and for the next two years, all my lawn-mowing money went straight into the cash register of the local FBO.
This 400-foot "runway" has a swamp at one end and a two-story brick building at the other.
For the first time in its seventy-five year history, AOPA will meet its members where they fly and share the joy of flight at a series of one-day regional fly-ins.
AOPA thanks our members for their continued support in protecting the freedom to fly.

American Standard American Standard 7385.040.295 Satin Nickel Reliant 3 Centerset Bathroom Faucet with Speed Connect
Product Features: Fully covered under American Standard's limited lifetime faucet warranty Forged from the highest quality brass alloy Superior finishing process - finishes are covered under limited lifetime warranty Single handle operatio...n Speed Connect pop-up drain assembly takes minutes to install ADA compliant WaterSense Certified product Low lead compliant - complies with federal and state regulations for lead content Designed to easily connect to standard U.S. plumbing supply bibs Ultra-secure mounting assembly All hardware required for installation is included Product Technologies: Lifetime Warranty: As an American company, American Standard faucets are built tough. Their products live longer in one place than most people do. Drip-free ceramic disc valves, high-grade lead-free brass alloys, and stainless steel drain cables name just a few of the features which make American Standard bathroom faucets the industry?s longest lasting. To back this up, all American Standard faucets are covered under a lifetime warranty. Indestructible Finishes: Through employing only the best finishing practices, such as physical vapor deposition, American Standard faucet finishes are some of the strongest in the industry. When the finish is actually incorporated into the faucet, rather than a coating on the outside, the result is a flawless appearance that eliminates tarnishing, pitting, and peeling while hiding scratches. For this reason, American Standard faucet finishes are fully covered under the lifetime warranty. Speed Connect System: Assembling, connecting, and adjusting the pop-up drain within the tight space of a vanity cabinet is undeniably the most difficult task when installing a bathroom faucet. Not so with American Standard, though. Each bathroom faucet is supplied with their patented Speed Connect Drains, which simply plug into the faucet and drain. No wrenches, special tools or plumber?s putty are needed. You also won?t need to apply torque to seal the drain or to fuss with the lift rod height. With Speed Connect Drains, bathroom faucet installs take minutes, not hours. Water Conscious: As the 2012 EPA WaterSense partner of the year, American Standard faucets are acclaimed for saving water without sacrificing performance. Through the use of the latest pressure compensating aerators, American Standard faucets save 32% more water than other brands/models. This means that their faucets pay for themselves throughout the life of their use. They also splash less, too. Product Specifications: Overall Height: 5-5/8" (measured from counter top to the highest part of the faucet) Spout Height: 2-5/8" (measured from counter top to the spout outlet) Spout Reach: 4-7/8" (measured from the center of the faucet base to the center of spout outlet) Number of Installation Holes Required: 3 Mounts in a centerset configuration Center-to-Center Distance Between Handle Installation Holes (Faucet Centers): 4" 1.5 gallons-per-minute flow rate Installs onto decks up to 1-1/4" thick 1 handle included with faucet ADA compliant Low lead compliant Variations: 7385.040: This model 7385.043: This model with grid drain assembly 7385.044: This model without drain assembly About American Standard: An American brand with over 140 years of innovations, American Standard is defined by experience, intelligence, and indelible influence. As the patriarch for nearly every key product category for the kitchen and bath, their offering shows a level of thoughtfulness and sophistication that could only be attributed to a company with a legacy as rich as that of American Standard. Today, professional plumbers and contemporary DIY home owners continue to turn to American Standard because they appreciate this legacy and know they can trust the innovations behind each product. It is for this reason that American Standard is so widely used within residential and commercial projects in both the United States and abroad - the read more

Which Fish Is the Best Fish? Consider Omega-3s, Sustainability, and Mercury
It's tough to find species that are good for both you and the ocean. Here's what you should consider.
"Eat fish," the advice so frequently offered by health experts, sounds simple. In practice, it isn't. When you step up to the seafood counter, you come with an array of priorities that don't always dovetail: promoting heart health, sidestepping contaminants like mercury, and avoiding the purchase of fish produced in an unsustainable way. A fish that scores high marks in one category may fall short in another. Add in the enormous variety of fish available, and you're in for confusion. "Fish is so inherently different from any other food," says Tim Fitzgerald, a scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund. "There are hundreds of different species caught or farmed in different ways. For someone who doesn't think about it for eight or 10 hours a day, it's daunting."
Here's a breakdown of the three major considerations:
Heart health. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish that contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are linked to improvement in some measures of heart disease risk. The AHA suggests mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna, and salmon as good sources of omega-3s—but fried or breaded fish does not count. (Fish is not the only source of omega-3s; plant-based sources, like walnuts and tofu, are also recommended.)
Some researchers say we should be careful to balance the ratio of omega-3s to omega-6s; omega-6s are another class of fatty acids that may help promote inflammation. Alice Lichtenstein, past chair of the AHA's nutrition committee and a nutritional biochemist at Tufts University's Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, says she's not particularly concerned about fish choices based on the omega-3/omega-6 ratio. "I don't think there are enough data to show we should be concerned," she says. "What's important is that we should all start eating fish."
[See: Does Your Omega-3 Source Matter?]
Contaminants. But there's more to consider than your heart. Mercury and other contaminants, including PCBs, can build up to elevated levels in big fishes that are high on the food chain—including species like that albacore tuna that is recommended as an omega-3 source. These contaminants are largely a concern for pregnant women and—because half of pregnancies are unintentional and mercury lingers in the body for a few months—women of childbearing age, says Emily Oken, a physician and assistant professor in the department of ambulatory care and prevention at Harvard Medical School. It's still unclear, she says, whether contaminants are a significant issue for full-grown adults who aren't or won't become pregnant.
The Environmental Defense Fund has a guide to the maximum number of servings of various fish that can be eaten each month. It also has pocket guides for both regular fish and sushi to help you pick the safest fish.
Sustainability. In addition to concerns about your health, there are concerns about the ocean's. Sustainable fisheries produce species that are "abundant, well-managed, and caught or farmed in environmentally friendly ways," says the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program, which publishes regularly updated pocket guides for several regions of the country. (You can also get them for your iPhone.) Such guides are necessary because there are few reliable rules of thumb for choosing the most sustainable fish, says Geoff Shester, senior science manager of the aquarium's Sustainable Seafood Initiative. Some fishing techniques are fine, but others can accidentally snag other species, including other fish and seabirds, or dredge up the ocean floor. And some farms can pollute the environment or allow farmed fish species to escape into the wild and upset the ecological balance; others are contained systems that may actually improve the environment. For example, some shellfish are more sustainable when farmed, but other seafood varieties, like salmon, are always best for Mother Earth when they've been caught in the wild.
And that's where one of the recommendations for omega-3 consumption runs smack up against ecological concerns. Farmed salmon "is one of the best values in fish that are rich in omega-3s," says Fitzgerald. But because it's inherently difficult to farm in a sustainable way, he says, it's on the "avoid" list. (The EDF's and Monterey Bay Aquarium's lists are identical, combining their expertise on contaminants and sustainability.)

If Oprah's craving a healthy, protein-packed meal, she requests these turkey meatballs, which can be served with the tomato sauce of your choice.
Servings: Makes 15–20 meatballs
Heat oil in large skillet (use enough oil to cover just the bottom of skillet). Add onion and stir briefly, until it's almost yellow. Add red pepper, green pepper and fry for 2 minutes. Add garlic and stir for 2 minutes, then remove from stove to cool. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Place flour on a large plate (for ease in creating the balls). With a wooden spoon, mix together turkey, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, sautéed onions and peppers, and bread crumbs. Form a tablespoon size of the turkey mixture in the shape of ball. Place each meatball in skillet and fry until slightly brown. Slightly press the center of each meatball to make sure the center cooks. Arrange on serving platter. Sprinkle ground pepper over top of each. |
