Tomas Scheckter?
Do any of you think that he can win at Indy this year? He was 3rd fastest today.
He needs luck, he came So close so many times.
It’s still early days at Indianapolis and Tuesday was only the first day of practice open to all drivers. Tomas Scheckter was one of six drivers to post a speed of 224 (mph) or better –
Dan Wheldon (225.074), Helio Castroneves (224.996),
Tomas Scheckter (224.783), Tony Kanaan (224.622), Scott Dixon (224.564) and Danica Patrick (224.457).
Before qualifications begin on Saturday, if the conditions remain favourable, I expect the speeds to creep up quite a bit.
Can Tomas Scheckter win the Indianapolis 500? Certainly he can, but, like the other 32 drivers in the field, he’ll need a little luck to go along with his obvious talent.

Tissot’s Brand Ambassadors Embrace Excellence
A leader in innovative, quality timepieces since 1853, the Tissot Watch Company creates stylish, precision watches to suit every occasion, using the finest designs, materials and workmanship. Their involvement with the world of sports communicates the passion, energy and excitement that have made the brand so successful.
Since 1974, the Tissot Watch Company has been a part of many high-profile sporting events, beginning with their sponsorship of a race car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in France. The company is now known for its involvement in a variety of performance sports, including Formula One motor racing, ice hockey, and cycling. In addition to their role as the official timekeepers of the Tour de Suisse, Tissot also holds the official stopwatch on World Championship cyclo-cross racing, and the Mountain Bike World Cup. Their ongoing relationships with global sporting events has led the Tissot Watch Company to launch a testimonial program involving a number of sports stars, including international football champion Michael Owen. As the 2000 European Footballer of the Year, Michael has played for leading football clubs in England and Spain, and he is presently playing in the English Premier League for the world-famous Newcastle United.
Ten years ago, Tissot chose Michael Owen, and they have since chosen many others to join their team of Brand Ambassadors. Brand Ambassadors are chosen because they reflect the brand’s values of precision, performance, innovation and prestige. These are the values that have been at the crux of the Tissot brand since the company was founded in 1853, and just like the company itself Tissot’s Brand Ambassadors have consistently personified these values by pushing the boundaries of excellence and performance.
Another well known athlete on the Tissot team of ambassadors is Danica Patrick – the first woman to win a race in the Indycar Series. Danica became the first female Tissot ambassador in 2005, and has recently extended her contract for another two years. In the male-dominated world of racing, Danica is known for her being fiercely competitive, while maintaining her stylish femininity. Nicky Hayden, who won the 2006 MotoGP World Championship, has joined the Tissot team as well. Currently in his 6th season with the MotoGP Championships, Nicky is known for pushing himself (and his bike) to reach new heights of excellence. Nicky, Danica, Michael and other iconic sports figures have embraced the Tissot brand because of its dedication to precision, technological excellence, and long history of innovation. But the Tissot team of Brand Ambassadors is not limited to the world of professional sports.
Two other team members are known for their personal style and passion for the arts. Asian beauty Barbie Xu, who became famous for her starring role in “Meteor Garden” is a rising star in television and cinema. Ms. Xu is often sought after by talk shows and magazines for her opinions on fashion, beauty, and culture, and of course her love of Tissot watches.
Another well-known actress, Deepika Padukone plays the role of Tissot’s brand ambassador for India, and is known as the “Face of Tissot” around the world. One of India’s most admired actresses, Deepika is also an international model. In March 2009, Deepika proudly launched the new Tissot T-Touch Expert at an event in Mumbai, India. When Ms.
Padukone announced the launch of the T-Touch Expert, she said it is more than just a watch. Calling it a “gizmo” that any traveler would want to own, Deepika said the new touch-screen timepiece made wearing a watch a more thrilling experience for her. She was especially impressed it its extraordinary functions. Among many fans of Tissot, Deepika praised this new breakthrough in timekeeping technology.
Tissot’s team of Brand Ambassadors represents a variety of talents, spanning the globe, but what binds them together is their passion for excellence.

Indy Racing League (IRL) Tickets – Vitor Meira Faces Indy 500 After ’09 Crash
Just like Ricky Bobby proved in Talladega Nights, it’s better to get back in the saddle after a fiery crash than to let fear take over in the driver’s seat. For Brazilian Indycar driver Vitor Meira, May 30 will be the day to test that theory. Meira will travel back to Indianapolis during Memorial Day weekend to face the foe that sent him to the hospital with two broken vertebrae during the 2009 Indianapolis 500, and he’s staring the beast (the Indianapolis Motor Speedway) in the eye for this year’s installment of the famed Indy 500.
33-year-old Meira, sometimes referred to as the best IRL driver who has never won an IndyCar race, will return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the 2010 Indy 500, and the IndyCar veteran has been preparing to revisit the track for months now. Speaking to ESPN earlier this month about his ’09 misfortunes at Indy and on putting the past behind him, Meira joked, “I actually watched the crash while I was still in the hospital. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is 100 years old and I am easily the record-holder for longest distance traveled on top of the wall.”
Riding on the wall surely wasn’t as exhilarating as it sounds, as Meira’s vehicle went up in flames during last year’s Indy 500 after his car hit Turn 1 of the track at IMS and rode on the wall backwards all the way into Turn 2 going more than 200 mph. The accident sidelined Meira with two broken vertebrae for the rest of the season as he underwent extensive rehabilitation. He’s made up for his losses so far in 2010, however, as the A.J. Foyt Enterprises driver has maneuvered his No. 14 open-wheel car into ninth place in point standings (prior to the Indy 500), signaling him as the comeback king.
Racing fans go after <a href=”http://www.stubhub.com/irl-tickets-indy-car-series/”>Indy Racing League (IRL) tickets</a> every year to catch a glimpse of the admirable Vitor Meira in action on the racetrack, and IndyCar enthusiasts are anxious to see how Meira will fare at this year’s Indianapolis 500. The native Brazilian has finished in second place twice at past Indy 500 races – in 2005 behind Dan Wheldon and in 2008 behind Scott Dixon – and now he’ll shoot for No. 1 in his comeback effort from a disappointing and altogether terrifying 2009 race.
So far this year, Meira has notched several Top 15 finishes, with a third place finish at Sao Paulo his best for the season. Meira has proven his resilience time and again on the IRL circuit, and racing fans would like nothing more than to see No. 14 speed into Victory Lane at Indy and beyond.
Recently talking about Meira’s amiability and character in the league to ESPN, fellow Brazilian driver Tony Kanaan said, “There is a reason that so many people were so excited when Vitor finished on the podium in Sao Paulo. They love him because he races hard and he works hard. People love an underdog and a comeback story.”
Meira will add more chapters to his comeback story this month as racing season gets into full swing, and tickets to several upcoming races are still available from <a href=”http://www.stubhub.com/”>StubHub</a> to catch Meira and all other IndyCar drivers in action this season.

Selecting a Desk for Your Computer
If you’re in the market for a new computer desk, there are a few things you should know before you open your wallet. First, you need to decide what type of computer desk is right for you. Here’s an easy check-off list of factors you should consider:
First, there are three basic types of desks: the Downview Desk in which the monitor is actually mounted below the desktop surface and can be seen through glare-resistant glass or plexiglass; the Split-Level Desk in which the surface is split into different height-adjustable surfaces allowing the monitor to be positioned higher than the writing surface; and the Adjustable Table type – the most common-in which there is only one desktop surface, the monitor is positioned on this surface and all work is done on the surface as well. There are benefits to all three. The Downview Desk has recently gained popularity because the monitor is somewhat ‘hidden’ and doesn’t clutter the top of the desk, allowing for the most efficient use of space. While still considered ergonomic, some users prefer tilting their heads up rather than down to see the screen. Downview desks are welcomed in classrooms and computer labs because it allows students to keep their eyes on the front of the classroom without having to lean around a monitor and therefore look easily from the instructor to their own monitors.
Downview Desks also give the appearance of a sleeker, cleaner environment. The Split-Level Desk is revered because it’s perfectly ergonomic and allows for the most adjustment for comfort. All surfaces adjust to the user and these desks are ideal for people who are shorter or taller than the average user because they’re entirely customizable.
The Adjustable Classroom Table is popular because with the fewest features, it’s the most affordable and provides a basic, comfortable, height-adjustable desk that provides ergonomic support to the user without all the other bells and whistles.
Second, decide what size will comfortably fit in the space you have. Computer desks come in many sizes from single-user 30-inch widths, to multi-user 72-inch widths and nearly everything in between. Measure your space and then choose a desk slightly smaller (as in 2 – 3 inches smaller) so that the space doesn’t appear too crowded.
Third, find a manufacturer that offers desk colors that appeal to the room you’re working in. If you like a desk but it only comes in white and your room is all natural wood, you won’t find the overall look of the room very pleasing. Since you don’t want to have to paint a desk yourself, choose one that works with your existing color scheme.
Fourth, decide on a price and stick to it. Be sure to check into shipping, tax, and handling charges. Companies often advertise a desk at a low $129 but when all is said and done, other charges can end up adding almost $100 to your purchase! We found a company called Versa Tables that offers free shipping regardless of weight to any customer in the contiguous U.S. Those are the kinds of deals you’re looking for, so be sure to check out shipping rates or ask a customer representative for the rates before you commit to purchasing.
