About Kelley0715's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I have always liked cars. I have never actually worked on and/or fixed/diagnosed any problems on any vehicle before. I pretty much only know how to get in, turn the key & go. And that is only if it is an Automatic car...lol. I have always been more for the styles and the Concept Car Shows. That is why I wanted to use my Grand Am. No, it's not an expensive car, but it does have style and potential. I am going to learn as much as I can, however, in remembrance of my Father. I will try to continue on his path. I hope it works out...
My first car
1998 Geo/Chevrolet Tracker. 2WD, top speed was 80 mph. It had a tan rag top, which weathered quickly due to the hot AZ sun. It was a pretty Burple in color.
Car I wish I still had
I still have it. My 2002 Pontiac Grand Am SE, Nothing special. Had the inspiration to turn it ino my "Glow Car" to show. I had started the process by wiring Purple undercarriage lights underneath all sides to my battery. I wired it clean...through the window. I only have one working Purple light now...lol...all in due time.
My dream car
Cadillac CTS, fully loaded with a Superior sound system, rainbow irriedescent flames starting from the front of the car and tapering off towards the rear. I would have a medium Smokey color as the base paint. I would have the rainbow undercarriage LED lights to go under all 4 sides. I might even add LEDs for my rims. Spinners only look nice and neat when they are the expensive chrome ones. (Sorry guys! I know people have their budgets.) I can really get into detailing...maybe even too much. lol
Car clubs I'm in
None. I am a newborn to the world of Muscle cars and Auctions and such. My Father was a member to all sorts of clubs. He was always driving from state to state partaking in numerous shows/meets. He was quite the Entrereneuer.
- Type of racing: NASCAR, Drag
- Driver: Earnhardt was pretty good. Both Sr. & Jr.
- Driving song: Have too many to name
- Car movie: Fast and the furious
- Car book: Not sure...have to think about that one.
- Car magazine: Barrett Jackson, Any Concept Car Mags.
- Car game: Need For Speed - all of them

Wrath 101: The battle for Wintergrasp
Now that you've taken a look at the zone, it's time to understand how to play the game. The battle for Lake Wintergrasp is one of the most fun parts of the game today -- it's certainly my favorite thing, such that I sometimes only log in whenever I know there's a battle. The great thing about Wintergrasp is that there are numerous battles throughout the day. It's the game's best mini-game, and I'm looking forward to seeing it get even more awesome as more and more players reach Level 80 and Blizzard makes improvements to the zone.
An hour before each battle, an NPC in Dalaran -- Arcanist Braedin for the Alliance and Magister Surdiel for the Horde -- will yell that a battle will soon begin. He will repeat this battle cry again at thirty, fifteen, ten, and five minutes in order to alert the inhabitants of Dalaran to hopefully drive players into going to the zone. To make it easy, portals to Wintergrasp appear at the Silver Enclave and Sunreaver's Sanctuary.
Generally, a portal to Wintergrasp appears in Dalaran for the controlling faction and observably disappears about an hour before battles begin. This usually means that defenders must make their way through flying mounts into the zone before the battle begins or wait until the game ensues whereupon their faction's respective Wintergrasp Battle-Mages will open a portal to allow reinforcements. Defenders will port directly in front of Wintergrap Keep, where the Titan Relic is housed, while players on offense will port into their respective landing camps -- the Horde on the West side, and the Alliance on the East.

Dr. Genevieve Fernandes also graduated from an
intense implant program from New York University.
Dr. Genevieve Fernandes currently also serves on the Committee at the Columbia University School of Dental Medicine.
Dr. Genevieve Fernandes is a member of the
American Dental Implant Association.
Dr. Genevieve Fernandes has the fine skills of a surgeon and the gentle caring touch of a mother. …
It was very pleasant. They made me feel at home. I will be back there soon
Friendly staff and dentist.
She tries to up sell you to teeth whitening and Invisalign. She is super nice professional and has good manual dexterity though...
The entire office was extremely nice, she also tries to work with you on what needs to be fixed with your teeth. Everyone remembers your name and area all extremely helpful.
I will be back and I will be recommending them to friends and family.
Nice offices on Central Park West, modern equipment and a very competent and communicative staff, highly recommended!
DDS Fernandes is a kind, compassionate and professional dentist. I will be reccommending her and her cohorts to anyone who asks for a dentist. Thanks for helping me regain my smile and self-confidence.
She was great
Love that they are open on Sundays!!!
Being that I am an elderly patient she is so patient, courteous and kind.
great visit!!
The people were fine, very nice and competent...but this place was so unorganized; 1st, I got a call a few days before my appointment confirming my appointment, but they had the wrong time; I had the email they sent confirming my time, but they denied that this was ever the time. Originally I had scheduled for 2 pm, they moved it to 1:30, no biggie. The day of, I called up to see if we could move the appointment earlier in the day, they told me it would not be a problem, and that I could come at 1 pm, so I did. At about 2 pm, I got seen by the doctor. The staff seemed to think I was in a rush...I was not, but I had been sitting around for an hour.
Deliberately misleading about pricing. Just awful.
Dr. Fernandes was very friendly and seemed helpful. The only minor problem I noticed was the fact that they charge you $125 even though you have insurance that they accept. Today I went in for my root canal and also noticed something which I did not like, the doctor who took care of me was great and did an excellent job with my root canal. When she was almost done she asked for the other doctor that was going to complete my crown to come in and do the second part today instead of having me go back. The staff said she had stepped out when the doctor asked for her to be called the assistant came back and said that I needed to come back. When I questioned the assistant she said that because I had "symptomatic sensitivity during the procedure which the doctor never said they were going to continue next week. I am not stupid or ignorant I knew exactly what happened and do not appreciate to be taken for being stupid. I will speaking to the office about this when I return next week.
OMG,she was a delight ,lovely and beautiful i would be going back again ,soon.
Very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. Professional office, electronic records & x-rays, and willing to accomodate a student's budget. Open on weekends.
Excellent. The receptionist explained everything very clearly step by step what was going to happen. And the Doctors were very friendly and asked as many questions to make me feel comfortable.
Great office, caring dentist and staff.
Dr. Fernandes and her staff were amazing! They took the time to talk to me about my dental care regimen, my cares and concerns. Dr. Fernandes and her hygienist are very easy to talk to, they listen attentively and offer great advice. I highly recommend this dental practice!
Professional, knew what she was doing, friendly, eased all my fears and apprehensions.

Silverstone, Great Britain
2013 Nurburgring World Supersport FP2 Result: Sofuoglu Leads As Lowes Sits Out
Sam Lowes was forced to sit out with bike problems.
2013 Silverstone Moto3 FP3 Result: Vinales Unleashes
Maverick Vinales has sent a stern warning to his title rivals and continued his impressive form at Silverstone to top Saturday's Moto3 FP3. The Spaniard did so with a scorching lap time of 2:14.003 in the closing stages of the session, which was some six tenths quicker than his circuit record breaking lap yesterday. The front runners had a familiar feel about them as Luis Salom, Alex Rins, Alex Marquez and Jonas Folger rounded out the top five placings, as they have done for most of the season.
Alexis Masbou finished the session in sixth place and top FTR Honda. He was followed by a gaggle of fellow Honda riders in Isaac Vinales, Jack Miller, Niccolo Antonelli and Lorenzo Baldassarri who completed the top ten.
2013 Silverstone MotoGP Friday Round Up: Nicky Hayden Issues A Retraction, Some Intimidation, And Pedrosa Cheers The Media
The media duties are one of the more difficult parts of a MotoGP rider's job. Every day they spend at a racetrack, they have to spend 10 to 15 minutes answering a barrage of questions from the assembled press. The questions range from stating the obvious, to inane ramblings, to blatant provocation chasing a printable quote, and even, on the odd very rare occasion, to sensible questions provoking subtle and thoughtful answers. In terms of time, the scope of the questions can range from what happened five minutes ago to events of five or ten years ago.
So it is hardly surprising that from time to time, the facts of relatively ancient history get confused. Such was the case at Silverstone, when on Thursday, Nicky Hayden said he would have liked to test the carbon fiber frame he tried at Jerez back in late 2011. On Friday, Hayden made a retraction, or a clarification, or call it what you will. He explained that what he had actually tested was the aluminium monocoque frame which was the intermediate chassis between the old carbon fiber frame and the aluminium perimeter beam chassis of which the current bike is an iteration. He had not, he said, called for a return to the carbon fiber frame, he had merely stated he would have liked to give that aluminium frameless front chassis one more try, but he was thwarted when he broke his hand in a first-corner crash with Alvaro Bautista at Valencia, and was forced to miss the test.
2013 Silverstone Moto2 And Moto3 Friday Post-Practice Press Releases
Press releases from the Moto2 and Moto3 teams after the first day of practice at Silverstone:
2013 Silverstone Moto2 FP2 Result: Zarco Puts On Late Charge
Johann Zarco put on a late charge in the afternoon session at Silverstone, taking over top spot in the dying seconds of FP2 for Moto3. The Frenchman displaced Takaaki Nakagami, who had also been building pace as the session went on, but came up just three hundredths of a second short. Thomas Luthi took 3rd spot, just ahead of Tito Rabat on the HP Pons bike and championship leader Scott Redding. Redding just edged his way ahead of Pol Espargaro, the Spaniard ending up in 6th position at the end of practice.
2013 Silverstone MotoGP FP2 Result: Lorenzo Lays Down The Law
Jorge Lorenzo has seized control of the MotoGP class at Silverstone by setting a ferocious pace, under the race lap record. Lorenzo set a blistering lap early on in the session, and his time would not be matched. Fastest man in the morning Marc Marquez ended the day in second, nearly a quarter of a second behind the factory Yamaha man, and the same ahead of his Repsol Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa. Alvaro Bautista, having an excellent weekend at Silverstone, grabbed 4th spot, nearly seven tenths behind Lorenzo, and making it three Hondas in the top four.
Valentino Rossi made a big step forward after struggling in the morning, taking 5th behind Bautista and missing out on 4th by just under two hundredths of a second. Cal Crutchlow ended the day in 6th, fractionally behind the Italian, and tightly bunched with Bautista and Rossi. Andrea Dovizioso also made a big leap forward, taking 1.6 seconds off his time, and grabbing 7th spot. Dovizoso also led another tightly bunched group, with Bradley Smith and Stefan Brald within a few hundredths of the Italian. Nicky Hayden rounded out the top 10.
2013 Silverstone Moto3 FP2 Result: Vinales Leads, Oliveira Follows
Day Of Champions Raises Over 250,000 Euros For Riders For Health
The annual Day of Champions at Silverstone circuit has been a roaring success. The combined activities raised over 250,000 euros for Riders for Health, with some 90,000 of that being generated by the auction. See the Riders for Health press release below for full details:
MotoGP™ paddock and fans raise over £200,000 [€250,000] for Riders for Health
Thousands of MotoGP™ fans flocked to Silverstone ahead of the British MotoGP to support Riders for Health's annual fundraising event, Day of Champions, raising an incredible £216,249 [€253,562] for the organisations' lifesaving work in Africa. The whole MotoGP paddock came together on Thursday (29 August) to support the championships' official charity.
Riders for Health's co-founder and CEO, Andrea Coleman, explained the appeal behind one of the UK's largest outdoor fundraising events: 'What's fascinating about MotoGP is that it is the only sport in the world that's ever grown a humanitarian movement, to deliver health care in Africa. The fans come here because they love to see the MotoGP riders, their heroes, but they also come here to support Riders for Health because we're showing that motorcycles save lives.'
2013 Silverstone Moto2 FP1 Result: Redding Edges Espargaro At The End
Scott Redding got his home Grand Prix off to a good start by topping the first session of free practice in the Moto2 class. The Marc VDS rider waited until the last minute to take over the lead, just edging Moto2 title rival Pol Espargaro into 2nd place. Espargaro had in turn knocked Dominique Aegerter into 3rd place, after the Swiss rider had led for much of the session.
Johann Zaro took 4th spot, ahead of Tito Rabat, with Tech 3 rider Danny Kent putting on a strong showing at his home race to take 6th.
2013 Silverstone MotoGP FP1 Result: Marquez Edges Lorenzo
Marc Marquez continues his run of form in MotoGP, picking up at Silverstone where he left off at Brno. The Repsol Honda rookie topped the first session of free practice at the British circuit, holding off a strong challenge by Jorge Lorenzo. As the session went on, Marquez extended his advantage, pulling out a gap of over two tenths of a second over Lorenzo at the end of the session.
Cal Crutchlow took 3rd in FP1, the Tech 3 Yamaha rider finding a burst of speed at the end of the session to end up just nine thousandths of a second behind Lorenzo. Dani Pedrosa was 4th quickest, four tenths off Crutchlow and over six tenths behind his Repsol Honda teammate Marquez. Alvaro Bautista settled in well at Silverstone, taking 5th just behind Pedrosa and two tenths ahead of Valentino Rossi, the Factory Yamaha rider ending in 6th. Stefan Bradl grabbed 7th, a second behind Marquez, and just ahead of Nicky Hayden on the factory Ducati and Bradley Smith on the second Monster Tech 3 Yamaha. Andrea Dovizioso rounds out the top 10 on the factory Ducati.
2013 Silverstone Moto3 FP1 Result: Salom And Vinales Lead The Fiield
Luis Salom set the fastest time for the first session of free practice for the Moto3 class on a bright and dry morning at Silverstone. Salom was two tenths faster than Maverick Vinales, but the Spanish pair were over a second quicker the rest of the field, with Jonas Folger a fraction quicker than Alex Rins.
2013 Silverstone MotoGP Thursday Round Up: Of Frayed Nerves, Stopping Marc Marquez, and Hayden's Quest For CF
As the last of three back-to-back races, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone sees the teams and riders looking a little more tired and frazzled around the edges than when they first convened after the summer break at Indianapolis. Tempers are a little shorter, stubble is a little longer, and eyes are a little redder. Add to this the fact that Thursday at Silverstone also plays host to the Day of Champions, and the teams and riders have a lot more PR duties to do, going up to the stage to help sell some of the items up for auction to help Riders for Health, and you have a group of tired and irritable motorcycle racing followers all clumped together in a room.
Despite the weather, the overwhelming consensus is a positive feeling going into the weekend. The track is widely loved, every rider I spoke to singing the praises of the circuit. What's more, the forecast fine weather has also had a positive effect on the general mood. In the past, Silverstone has inspired dread among the paddock, as it has all too often been cold and very, very wet. Moving the race from June to late August/early September has been a masterstroke, however, as the chances of warm dry weather are vastly improved. Nicky Hayden even half apologized to the waiting British journalists for having given them a hard time about the British climate.

Press releases from the Moto2 and Moto3 teams ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone:
Finally Official: Redding Signs Two-Year Deal With Gresini In MotoGP
MotoGP's worst-kept secret - the latest in a very, very long line of badly-kept secrets - is finally out. As had been widely reported, Gresini Honda finally confirmed that they have signed a two-year deal with Scott Redding to race in MotoGP. Redding will race the Honda production racer for the 2014 season, with the plan being that Redding will move up to ride the factory RC213V at Gresini the following year.
The deal sees Redding placed in Gresini with strong support from HRC. Redding's main mission in his first season will be to learn to use the Bridgestone tires and acclimatize in the premier class on the production racer, before moving up to the factory bike in the Gresini team to start challenging for podiums and perhaps even wins. Due to Redding's strong backing from HRC, the current Moto2 championship leader has avoided the fate of Alvaro Bautista of being a Nissin and Showa test rider, and will race with the industry standard Brembo and Ohlins.
With Redding confiirmed at Gresini, attention now shifts to the NGM Forward team, and their wealth of choices of who to place on the Yamahas they will be racing in 2014. News on that front is unlikely to come at Silverstone, those decisions perhaps being moved forward to Misano.
Below is the official press release from Gresini Honda:

Posts tagged: France
I'm fortunate that my work takes me to Europe several times a year, but I try to go on my own at least once each fall or winter. Sometimes I travel with my husband or accompanied by one of my adult children, and that's always fun. But I'm just as happy to go solo, to walk down streets that have seen the cultural history of the world unfold and come home richer for the experience.
In the past I looked for a direct flight to Frankfurt or London or Paris. But the 10 or 11 hours in the air, flying directly to or from Seattle, San Francisco or Los Angeles, took their toll on me. Especially on the way home. For a week or more after my return, I was fatigued and weary, fighting the confusion and physical effects of jet lag. I couldn't get a lot done.
I began to talk about this with other travelers who live on the western side of the country and I realized I wasn't alone. Jet lag, when returning from Europe, seems to hit us harder.
It finally dawned on me that maybe a direct flight isn't necessarily the best idea. I may save a little time but I pay for it in other ways. If I give myself a few extra days on the east coast—usually New York City—to adjust before continuing my trip further west, I come home more rested and less likely to suffer from extreme jet lag.
I have put this theory to the test several times now and it makes all the difference. Now, whenever possible, a trip to Europe ends in one of two ways: an extra night or two in New York or a few days on a short cruise out of New York. Then, at the end of my mini-vacation, I catch a flight home with only a 3-hour time adjustment.
For my return from a recent assignment to write about France's World War I western front, the Millennium Broadway Hotel's "Fall into Autumn" package was perfect. I had some additional WWI research to do at the library and a couple of private museums, and I wanted to see a show or two while I was there. I booked a room for three nights in early October.
My Air France flight arrived at JFK Airport just after 4 p.m. After clearing customs I hopped in a taxi and took the 45-minute (rush hour traffic) ride to the hotel. Once there, I checked in, showered, and made myself a cup of tea. By that time it was almost 8 p.m. My room was on the 45th floor and overlooked Times Square. It was fun to watch the crowd with a bird's eye view as I rested and answered the emails that had jammed my inbox after two weeks away. I had two more nights so I didn't feel pressured to immediately go out and play. I made another cup of tea, fished around in my bag for an energy bar for dinner and went to bed.
The next morning I woke up early, still on Paris time, and watched the sunrise paint the skyscrapers surrounding the hotel. I'd slept well and I was ready to get to work.
The Millennium Broadway sits between 44th and 45th Streets and the location is perfect. The lobby is always a hive of activity, but the rooms are quiet and spacious ( especially by Manhattan standards.) The hotel is right in the heart of the theater district and within easy walking distance of all the other places I wanted to visit while I was there. The exercise revived me. Each morning, after a breakfast of oatmeal and coffee in the lobby restaurant, I felt ready for anything.
By the time I flew home I'd adjusted to the time difference without any jet lag and I was far more productive than I would have been without the Big Apple break.
The Millennium Broadway Hotel's "Fall into Autumn" package runs through November 30. If you've ever wanted to be there for New York's annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, here's your chance! (Note: The discount increases for a stay of three nights or more.)

I hadn't been in New Orleans for a long time, but the mystique is still true; the city is one you don't forget. A lot has changed over time and after the devastating hurricane in 2005, but as I walked, taking in familiar sights, the distinctive architecture, the soft Southern voices and the sounds of jazz and Zydeco music, I knew exactly where I was.
I'd flown down to cover the maiden U. S. voyage of the Carnival Sunshine, sailing from the Port of New Orleans, and my husband was with me. We had a day to explore the city before the cruise began and we made a quick tour of the French Quarter and the waterfront, before heading up Magazine street to the New Orleans destination we'd really come to see: The World War II Museum.
I spent a week last summer touring the countryside of the Normandy region of France, and I'd visited most of the D-Day landing sites and museums. Since my return, I haven't been able to shake the experience. The scope and stories of the profoundly life-changing experiences of the survivors, and the sheer number of lives lost, is, even 70 years later, overwhelming. I was anxious to see how the WWII Museum's D-Day exhibit captured that time in history.
But first, before we explored anything indoors, we had another, more personal, monument to see. When the museum opened in 2000 my husband's family purchased a commemorative brick to honor their father who served in the Marines and was stationed in the South Pacific during WWII. My husband, with one of our daughters, had visited the brick once before, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, but I hadn't seen it.
With the help of a map supplied by museum staff, we found my father-in-law's engraved brick on the walkway near the entrance of the museum. My husband brushed away a few fallen leaves and I took his photo with it. We stood there for a few more minutes without saying anything, both of us lost in our own thoughts of someone we'd loved.
My father-in-law died in 2009 and he never got to see the small monument his children placed at the museum to honor him. But he knew it was there and I think it pleased him.
For the next week, cruising around the Caribbean, soaking up as much sun as possible before going back to the cold, already snowy, Northwest, my mind kept going back to the red brick carved with my father-in-law's name and the torpedo bomber squadron to which he'd been assigned.
I'm glad we'd dedicated most of our free time in New Orleans to visiting the museum. The D-Day exhibit was moving and comprehensive and captured the true horror of the battles of the war. And it gave us a chance to revisit a personal history, to stop and take a moment to remember a kind and gentle man.
We walked through the gates of the Normandy American Cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach just as the staff raised the twin American Flags that fly on the tall poles at the edge of green lawn dotted with rows of white marble crosses stretching as far as the eye can see. It was still early but I was surprised by the number of people that were already there. Some had come to find a particular name, others to pay their respects to lives lost, each to mark a dark moment in the modern world's history.
At the visitor's center I sat down on a bench to watch a film with short biographies of some of those killed during the Battle of Normandy. A man who looked to be in his 80s, or even older, was seated on the bench beside me.
Absorbed by the film, by the stories of the lives of ordinary people cut short by a brutal war, I'd forgotten I wasn't alone until I heard a sound from the man seated next to me. It was the soft shuddering sound of a breath that could have become a sob. An involuntary cry that had been quickly covered. Surprised, I glanced over at him and then quickly looked away. He didn't move, his eyes remained locked on the screen, and he did not make another sound. The movie ended and I saw him reach up to wipe his hand across his eyes.
We both stood to move on. He rose slowly, stiffly, leaning on a cane as he walked from the room, I stayed behind to gather my thoughts. I have no idea if the man was a veteran of the Normandy landings. I suppose it's possible. We lose so many WWII veterans each day but a few are still healthy enough to make the pilgrimage to Normandy.
The man could have been a boy at the time, just old enough to enlist, and one of the thousands who waded into hell that day. Or he might have lost someone, a father, a brother, an uncle or cousin, and watching the movie brought back the pain of the loss. I'll never know. But the man beside me in the darkened room, a man who caught his breath on a sob, reminded me that battles may end but pain comes and goes as it pleases. And time means nothing when the right trigger is pulled.
War seems to be a more casual thing these days. Looking around me at airports, at the grocery store, at the mall, I see men and women in uniform every day. We're quick to thank them for service and then move on. I know of some who served and returned to pick up their lives and go on and others who came home to find they no longer fit as comfortably into the lives they'd shed. Too many never make it home at all.
Tomorrow is Veterans Day and I can't shake the image of more than 9,000 stark white crosses on a hillside overlooking the sea.
I keep hearing the sound of an old man trying not to cry.

To enter Monet's private world you must first walk through a dark tunnel under the busy road that separates the house and front garden, the Clos Normand, from the famous water garden. Yes, that water garden. The place with mysterious, reflective, pools and graceful willows whose branches hang low over the water, where the elegant wisteria-covered Japanese bridge frames the view of the beautiful water lilies Monet painted time and again.
In Monet's time, he could walk out the front door and cross a small footbridge to reach the gate, but tourists are another matter. With all the grace of migrating wildlife, they are a hazard on what is now a busy road, so the tunnel gets them safely to a space that draws hundreds of thousands each year.
Stepping out of the tunnel and into the filtered light of the water garden is to step back in time. Thanks to the archivists, benefactors and a team of gardeners who have worked to restore the garden, the landscape is not much different than it was when the painter was there, when he walked the winding paths or sat on a bench to study the play of light and shadow on water. Turn a corner and the view is somehow familiar. You have the feeling you have been here before.
Monet's gardens are as much a masterpiece as any canvas he created. He did not move into a house in the Normandy countryside in 1883 and simply settle down to paint what was there. Instead, he approached the land around the house he continued to improve and enlarge the way he created each painting, methodically, with layers and and an obsessive attention to color and light. He set out to create the garden he wanted to paint and it soon consumed him.
As I strolled—I was there in early September, just after the height of the tourist season, and there were fewer people sharing the paths with me than might have been a few weeks before—I marveled at the construction of what surrounded me. What seemed to be a riot of plants was as carefully thought out and orchestrated as the brushstrokes on one of his paintings.
Vine-covered arches over the central path, thick with trailing nasturtiums, frame the entrance to the farmhouse creating a vanishing point at the front door. Giant dahlias, with blooms as big as cantaloupes, towered over me. The garden welcomed me. It embraced me.
I stopped to watch one of the gardeners, almost hidden by the plants as she crouched to remove spent blooms, and a passing guide noticed. We chatted for a few minutes and then she said something that stays in my mind.
"For Monet the garden was not about any one flower. It was about the effect, the way the colors and textures and light worked together."
He called it painting with nature.
Monet never stopped working. At the end of his life, his vision clouded by cataracts, his focus narrowed to the water garden. He built a studio for the purpose of painting large canvasses of the water lilies that covered the mirrored pond. The paintings that still hang in the Orangerie in Paris today.
I have been to France a number of times, I've gazed at his work in museums all over the world, and yet I'd never visited Monet's gardens just 50 miles from Paris. I'm sorry it took me so long to get there.

Walking through a covered passage in Montpellier, France, I noticed a number of people going in and out of one of the businesses and I asked someone what kind of shop it was.
Oh, it is not a store," she answered. "It is a place for Third Life education."
"Third life?"
"Yes, for people who are no longer working but who wish to keep learning." She looked at the sign on the door.
"Today, they are learning more about the computer."
I realized the place was what we might call in this country a "senior center." Most of the people I could see through the window were in their 60s or 70s, a few younger, a few older.
I walked on but the phrase "third life" stayed in my mind. It struck me as the perfect description for the way we age.
We have no choice in our first lives. We adapt to the circumstances into which we were born—quickly learning some are luckier than others—and we navigate childhood, school, and nascent careers.
Our second lives are the years we spend striving and reaching. We make choices—some carefully considered and some with careless abandon. We face difficult decisions. We work, we climb, we search for a mate. Some of us marry, pair up or partner. Some of us have children and either settle down to raise those children full time or shoulder the extra burden of both career and family. These are the years we sleep less, worry more, spend too much, save too little.
And finally, the third life. The last child leaves the nest. We retire or simply get tired of the rat race and decide to change careers or cut back. For some, the job or marriage or status they thought they would have falls apart and they discover they can not only survive, they can thrive.
Finally, for the first time, bolstered by experience, emboldened by wisdom and motivated by the knowledge that time will not wait for us, we realize we have the freedom to thoughtfully choose the life we will live. We have a few regrets. We still have a long list of things we'd like to do and skills we'd like to master. We want to make a difference.
Some waste these years with bitter extravagance, angry and self-absorbed, consumed by old grievances and lost opportunities.
Not me. What's done is done. The past is quicksand and the more we struggle the faster we sink.
I want to see my children launched and successful in work and matters of the heart. I want to be a part of my granddaughter's life. I'd like to learn to make a souffle without the damned thing collapsing like a parachute on the ground. Like the men and women in the classroom in France, I want to keep up with technology, to get the most out of what it has to offer.
I want to, at least once, beat my husband in a game of Scrabble.
There are so many places I want to see while I still have the good health and opportunity to get up and go. Or, with glaciers crumbling, poles melting and forests burning, while they are still there to see.
I want to write something worth reading.
Somewhere between the next five minutes and the next 30 years, my time will run out and I'll be done. My first two lives are already behind me. But instead of looking back and mourning the loss of my youth, I know to keep my eyes on the horizon. This third life is a gift, a reward and benefit for making it this far. I want to get it right.

When you first see the medieval walled Cité' of Carcassonne, depending on the direction from which you approach, it can appear unexpectedly on the landscape. Like the magic castle in a storybook.
The high stone walls and tall towers wrap ribbonlike around the rocky top of the hill and the Pont Vieux, a 600-year-old bridge, connects the old Cité' with the 'newer' town below with a series of graceful stone arches.
The Romans laid the first stones of the walls—some of which are still visible. By the 13th Century Carcassonne's gates were protecting a castle and, later, the architecturally significant Basilica Saint-Nazaire.
Surviving countless sieges and wars, the old Cité' of Carcassonne eventually fell into disrepair, eventually becoming a source of stone for newer construction, and by 1849 was slated to be demolished. But the influential mayor organized a monumental and controversial effort project to rebuild and preserve the cite, hiring a noted architect to oversee the project. Some creative license was taken, slate tiles were added and things were not put back exactly as they had been, but the oldest part of Carcassonne was saved. (And, interestingly, it was specifically designed to draw tourists.) Work continued until 1910.
In 1997 Carcassonne was listed as a UNESCO world heritage site and that same year the city's most prestigious hotel, the Hôtel de la Cité which offers a spectacular view that stretches to the distant Pyranees, was opened by the Orient Express Group.
In the high season the crowd in Carcassonne can be shoulder-to-shoulder, but in mid-June I had all the room I needed. It was the last day of school and children on an end-of-the-year class excursion laughed as they ran from one thing to another. Someone spotted a pop star in town for the annual Carcassonne Music Festival and they flocked to wave and peer through the windows as they watched as his chauffeured Lamborghini edge through the fortified city's double gates.
Shops of all kinds line the narrow cobblestoned streets and I stopped to buy colorful espadrilles, the iconic flat rope-soled canvas shoes made in the South of France, for my daughters. I bought a pair for myself and a bag of sweet French nougat to bring home.
As I spent my day in Carcassonne, I watched the personality of city change and shift, first gleaming in the bright sun and then at night, Illuminated by lights placed strategically along the outer walls, become shadowed and mysterious.
A couple of weeks after my return from France, browsing through an antique store, I stumbled upon a "Lady's" travel book written in 1907 about the Languedoc region of France that was written. It is the highly-romanticized story of two young female travelers, flowery and feminine but, in a way, also a bit radical. At that time, at the turn of the last century, few women had the freedom to travel so independently and the adventures of the two cousins as they toured the countryside must have been appealing to readers. In the chapter on Carcassonne one of the young travelers is inspired by the ancient towers and finds a spot sheltered by the old walls to sit and write in her journal.
What made me smile was a notation in the Rick Steves guidebook I'd read prior to my visit. In it he mentions a day spent in Carcassonne when he was a teenager, and he included the notes he'd made that day while sitting on one of the ramparts. It seems no one is immune. English author, Kate Mosse, whose 2007 bestselling novel Labyrinth was set in Carcassonne and still draws thousands of readers to the Cité' each year, has a house in the area and she admits to falling under its spell. Walt Disney is said to have visited, coming away with the inspiration for his Sleeping Beauty castle.
Sure there is a touristy side to what has become of the old Cité'. Toy swords and refrigerator magnets abound. But beautiful, evocative, places like Carcassonne, imbued with an ancient and intimate history of the men, women and children who once lived there, draw us in. And in that way Carcassonne is impossible to resist. Romance is mortared into the very walls of the place

Walking down a street in Paris, I had to step aside to let the woman pushing an infant in a pram pass on the narrow sidewalk.
My first glance was for the baby, small, bundled in blankets against the cold, damp, winter weather. Then I looked up at the woman. She was about my age, dressed for a stroll, yet still effortlessly elegant in that Parisian way. As we waited at the corner for the light to change, our eyes met and we returned one another's smile. Our eyes met again.
I smiled down at the baby, tapped my chest and said "Grand-maman."
"Oui," she replied, nodding back at me and smiling. "Grand-maman."
I don't speak French and I have no idea if she speaks English. But some things are universal.
In the year since my first grandchild was born, as I've traveled I've become aware of a new kind of landscape. Grandmothers. I see them in parks, on busy sidewalks, on busses and trains. Sometimes they are with sons or daughters, an extra pair of hands or simply along for the ride. Often, like the woman in Paris, they are alone. Taking care of children while mother and father work. Exactly what I do when I am not away from home.
My phone is loaded with images of beautiful destinations. On it is a visual record of the places I've been for work and for the pure pleasure of traveling. I also have photos of my children and the whole family together. But the images I go to so often, when I'm on a plane or in a quiet hotel room in some beautiful city thousands of miles from home, are those of a little girl smiling up at the camera or sleeping in my arms. My grandchild.
My favorite is a copy of the first photo made of us together. She is only hours old and I have just walked into the hospital room my son-in-law has just gently given her to me. I am wrapped around her, cradling her, focused only on the tiny person in my arms.
Now, each time I look at that photograph, I see myself, in the instant the photo was taken, falling hopelessly in love.
The light changed and the woman, leaving me with one more smile, crossed the street and walked briskly away, turning down another street.
There was a time, when my children were still small, in my arms, on my hip or walking beside me, that I exchanged glances and smiles and unspoken empathy with other mothers. Women who, like me, were navigating sleepless nights, nursing, tantrums and all the countless little milestones of mothering. Now, I am in a new club. I look into the eyes of women all over the world and acknowledge the deep happiness of being the Grand-maman.

It was not the first time I've taken a daughter to Paris. Two years ago my middle daughter and I spent a January week in the City of Light, but that's where the similarity ends. There is a world of difference in 17 and 21.
At 21, my middle daughter was living away at college and was getting close to graduation. She'd missed me and was ready for time together. Not so with my 17-year-old. She sees a lot of me. Maybe, if I'm reading the subtly of closed doors and rolling eyes correctly, a little too much of me.
This is her senior year. College comes in the fall. She is so close to independence, to getting out from under my wing and stepping out into her own life, that it's all she thinks about. She's been left here at home with us, without her brother and sisters who have grown up and have lives of their own. She wants what they have. She wants out.
Still, a trip to Paris is a trip to Paris. When I suggested we go just after Christmas, she signed on. For a while it looked like her sister, the one who'd gone with me before, might join us. But the real world—in the form of a real job—stepped in and it was back to one (disappointed) girl and her mother.
We landed in Paris, checked into the hotel, napped for a couple of hours and that was it. She never looked back. The minute we walked out the door of our hotel each morning, the race was on. We picked a direction, a museum or monument or quartier to visit, and she would set out, quickly leaving me to lope behind her like the family dog. Occasionally, she would realize she'd left me too far behind and would wait, her impatience only barely masked, until I could catch up. Then, after a block or two, she was off again.
She's tall and her long legs speed her along. I am short and was carrying the bag full of cameras, umbrellas, maps and everything else that marked us as tourists. She looked like a local. I looked like a porter at the train station.
I quickly quit trying to keep up and began to enjoy the sight of her moving across the cobblestones, toward the Eiffel Tower, down narrow lanes and along the Quai Saint-Bernard skirting the Seine. I have a series of photos snapped on my phone as I trotted along behind her, sometimes quite a distance behind her. My beautiful daughter melted into Paris and I was able to watch.
Chasing her, I remember wanting desperately to be on my own at that age, without the weight of parents and siblings to slow me down. I wanted to travel alone, unencumbered. If, at 17 I'd found myself in Paris with only my mother for company, I would have done my best to shake her like so much dust out of the rug.
She led me on a merry chase from one end of Paris to the other but I'll win in the end. She'll go to Paris again, on her own or in the company of friends. But it will be too late. I will have marked the place. She'll remember the little hotel I like so much, the one on a quiet street with a school and a market and rows of beautiful apartments.
She'll order in French and think about the way I simply couldn't pronounce Croque Monsieur without traces of my Southern accent coming through. She'll get tired and remember the way I insisted on stopping each afternoon for a cup of chocolat, demanding a moment to savor the strong flavor and rest my sore feet.
She'll return to Paris on her own terms but memories of our trip together will be folded into every crepe, waiting around every corner and strung like lights across the Pont Marie.

Most people dream of Paris in the springtime, when the city blooms and leaves unfurl like tiny pennants on tree-lined boulevards. Or, they look forward to a summer vacation in the high season, when the grass in the parks is lush and green, the warm breeze ruffles your hair as you cruise down the Seine and the sidewalk cafes are crowded with people-watchers and those who love to be watched.
But I long for Paris in January, when the weather is unpredictable and, on occasion, unfriendly.
In winter, Paris is imbued with a faded, elegant, melancholy romance. The sky is low and the air is heavy and darkness falls early. The river looks dense and cold and the top of the Eiffel Tower is occasionally shrouded in fog. Walking down narrow streets the aromas of the bakeries and tobacco shops and coffee houses linger and capture you as you walk past, drawing you in.
In January, Paris is a study in shades of gray and black and walking down the rain-slick cobblestones, it's easy to imagine you've stepped back in time, back into an iconic Henry Cartier-Bresson photograph. I marvel at the architecture, the beautiful Hausmann buildings, Art Nuveau Metro stations and arching bridges, all somehow more prominent without the foliage and crowds that will come in warmer weather.
I took my middle daughter to Paris just after the first of the year in 2011. We arrived early, just as the weak morning light was stealing across the city. I watched her face as she looked out the taxi window and caught her first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower.
We stayed at a small pre-war hotel in the 6th Arrondissement, a short walk from the Jardin du Luxembourg, and each day after breakfast we walked the streets of Paris. From the Latin Quarter to the Champs Elysse to the banks of the Seine we explored grand avenues and winding side streets. We stood in the hushed Cathedral of Notre Dame. We gazed at the paintings and sculpture at the Musee D'Orsay, buying postcards to bring home as souvenirs. We stopped at the sidewalk creperies and sipped espresso in tiny cafes watching the city go on about its business. And all the while a soft rain fell, washing the city in soft hues. We spent a companionable week that I will always remember.
This is not to say Paris in winter is without its flaws. The noise and congestion and the ubiquitous dog waste on the sidewalk are still there, just as they are any time of year. But for an incurable romantic, the dark and mysterious days of January are the perfect time to experience the city of light.
I loved it so much I returned this year with my youngest daughter. She's been to Paris before on a school trip, but it was hurried and only superficial. This time we explored the city on our own, the way I did with her sister, visiting the places she chose. And once again I got the chance to see one of the world's most beautiful cities through a daughter's eyes.

Nov 26, 2014Very good show that reminds me of Emergency! from the 1970s but with a little more drama. Also, this show crosses over with Chicago Fire which makes both shows a little more interesting.
Mar 24, 2014Chicago Fire is basically a watchable show, although it lacks a lot of substance. Trying to be the ER of the CFD.....it just doesn't make it. The characters and the plots are interesting enough, but the execution is lacking. Trying to build dramatic incidents is becoming tedious. For some reason, the Chicago Police department is lacking and extremely slow to respond. There have beenChicago Fire is basically a watchable show, although it lacks a lot of substance. Trying to be the ER of the CFD.....it just doesn't make it. The characters and the plots are interesting enough, but the execution is lacking. Trying to build dramatic incidents is becoming tedious. For some reason, the Chicago Police department is lacking and extremely slow to respond. There have been major fires, accidents, train wrecks and shootings in Chicago, and for some reason, the first responders on this show are always the firemen.......go figure.… Expand
Nov 21, 2013Love it! Likeable characters, lots of action, beautiful people and great acting! Seriously underrated, it's got some familiar faces and has some great new ones too. I like it because it's actually a bit different, I've not watched a series like this before. Very good, highly recommend.
Oct 21, 2013VERY action packed, likeable characters... love it love it!! Chicago Fire has unexpected twists, and shows diversity from other Emergency TV shows. Showing all aspects of a fire house, from captain to candidate.
Apr 27, 2013The cast has a lot of personality an they flow together to make it a compelling show to watch.
A show that zoom in and shows the team acting like a team..Fighting fires..Its not about one person being the hero all the time. There is so much room to grow with this show.
Feb 20, 2013Very underrated series right here. Been watching since the beginning of the season and though it took a little bit to speed up, it has now hit its groove. The acting is pretty good and the character development is fantastic.
Feb 1, 2013Tries to be too much like THIRD WATCH (and that was an awesome show!) This one is boring and not true to life at all............ I was disappointed after the first two episodes and never watched it again since!
Nov 27, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Chicago Fire is one of the best series I saw in my life, I saw work in House MD Jesse Spencer, and I realized he's a good actor, the series is recommended, I would like to have more reputation!… Expand
Nov 27, 2012I find Chicago fire to be quite a good watch so far. The main cast, as well as the love hate relationship between the 'heads' of the respective units makes for good drama. Glad Dick Wolf is taking on something other than Law and Order and doing a good job at it. Could use a bit more action, but other than that no complains to be honest.
Giving it an 8/10.
Oct 29, 2012Finally a show that actually has some reality to the firefighting part of the show. Its a very interesting and emotionally compelling show, and hope it gets renewed.
Oct 20, 2012I love Chicago fire because it's an emotionally compelling show that has some sad moments and great characters. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes shows with a sad touch to them.
There are rivalries and feuds and dangerous situations, as well as a complete lack of personality. [29 Oct 2012, p.38]
There didn't seem to be anything like [a plot] for the first two episodes, though there has been no lack of good looks, with Taylor Kinney and Jesse Spencer around and filling out their firemen togs nicely. Still there's hope. In episode three, to be exact, where we find a hint that the writers have caught on to the uses of a story line, this about a corrupt police detective.
There's no character you haven't seen before. More importantly, there's no character that hasn't been done much, much better elsewhere.

December 20, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Nashville officials have agreed to a $490,000 settlement with an immigrant in the United States illegally who was shackled to a hospital bed during labor after being arrested during a traffic stop.
The Tennessean reported that the Metro Council approved the agreement Tuesday to end the five-year long lawsuit brought by Juana Vilegas.
The case turned the national spotlight on Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall's enforcement of a federal deportation law, which is no longer enforced in the county.
Villegas was the subject of deportation proceedings when she started to give birth.
Villegas will receive $100,000 from the settlement, with the remainder going to attorneys' fees.

Otis Hudson (born July 19, 1986) is an American football guard who is currently a free agent. He was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 5th round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He played college football at Eastern Illinois.
Personal Life[edit]
Otis has a life story similar to The Blind Side. He grew up in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side of Chicago. As a child, he was always the biggest in his class. In 5th grade, he evaded 15 gang members who were trying to pursue him on his walk home from winning a basketball game. He used sports as a way to stay out of trouble. He liked playing basketball, football, and baseball. When Hudson was in middle school, he became part of AAU basketball, where he met the Leopardo family from Barrington. He enjoyed traveling around the country playing basketball. He started playing football in 8th grade and realized he had great athletic ability in football. He played on both the varsity offensive line and defensive line, when he was a freshman at John Marshall High School. He also played on the varsity basketball team as the center. When he was a sophomore in high school, he told his parents he wanted to move to the suburbs, because he knew he would have a better opportunity of playing NCAA football. He and his family moved to Barrington, IL near the Leopardo family. He played varsity football and basketball at Barrington High School and graduated in 2005. [1] Mr. and Mrs. Leopardo were mentors to Otis throughout high school and college.
He graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a degree in construction management. He helped his team earn All Conference and All Area recognitions. After graduation, he traveled to California to train with Travelle Gaines of Performance Gaines. Gaines always spoke highly of Hudson. "For the 2010 NFL draft, I have been training 24 top prospects, including Otis, and Otis is just as good as everyone I've seen. He has a work ethic that outclasses most and is very cooperative and coachable, which are intangibles you can't teach." [2]
Professional career[edit]
Cincinnati Bengals[edit]
On July 7, 2010, Hudson agreed to terms on his rookie contract with the Cincinnati Bengals. He was penciled in as the backup right guard. On September 4, 2010, he was waived by the Bengals. He cleared waivers and was re-signed to the Bengals' practice squad.
During the 2011 season, Hudson spent part of the season on the active roster and on the practice squad. Coach Paul Alexander said he was one of the most improved players during summer camp in 2011.
Hudson spent the entire 2012 season on the Bengals' practice squad. On August 10, 2013, after an ankle injury caused Bengals rookie Tanner Hawkinson to be sidelined indefinitely, the Bengals re-signed Hudson.[3] Hudson was later released during final roster cuts.
Kansas City Chiefs[edit]
Hudson signed with the Kansas City Chiefs on May 1, 2014.[4] He was released August 25.[5]

How to Use Social Media on Your Summer Job Search
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It's a competitive jobs landscape, no doubt about that.
Besides the millions of Americans who are out of work but looking for a job, the career services firm Jobvite.com says 51% of employed workers are "either actively seeking or open to a new job."
To gain an edge, job-seekers have to leverage any way they can to get noticed by hiring managers. Right now, with one big exception, there really is no better way to land a new job than to wage a smart social media campaign.
According to Jobvite, 40% of new hires say they got their job through "personal connections," proving classic networking has value -- but social media ranks second, with 21% of new hires saying it was the most significant factor in getting hired, followed by online job boards (20%) and classified ads (19%).Employers are big on using social media to find job applicants. Jobvite reports that 94% of U.S. companies used social media to recruit and hire employees last year (at 94%, LinkedIn was far and away the most popular site used by hiring managers.) Managers say they value "professional experience" and "specific hard skills" when looking for job prospects on LinkedIn, while they used Facebook and Twitter to evaluate "cultural fit" and "industry-related posts."

When I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2005, I had one blood test performed and some x-rays ordered, and at the time that was my extent of knowledge to the range of possibilities in diagnosing the disease. Learning more about RA caused me to look into the tests that are beneficial in proper diagnosis, and in turn, understanding what the tests actually did helped me understand more about the disease.
I had an Rh factor test (a simple blood test) taken which turned out to be positive. Antibodies are normal proteins found in the blood; the Rh (Rheumatoid) factor is an antibody that can bind or attach itself to other antibodies. The Rh factor isn't usually found in normal population; however it is found in over 80% of adults who have RA.
A general CBC(Complete Blood Count) test may be ordered to measure red blood cells, their number, fraction and size; it also measures the number of white blood cells, and the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. This will the Dr an idea of there's infection, or any other condition going on.
I'm glad I just have to type this next one out, if I tried to pronounce it I'd mess up! Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) should be called the 'inflammation measuring test' because that's what it does; it measures how much inflammation is in the body.
The C - Reactive Protein test is a little trickier which measures a special type of protein produced by the liver. During a time of acute inflammation or infection the liver will secrete this protein and the CRP measures the concentration of this protein in blood serum. Although it's not specific, a high result of the protein gives a general indication of intense inflammation and Rheumatoid Arthritis causes a large amount of inflammation, especially during flare-ups. Because it's not specific, a high CRP rate could also be indicative of rheumatic fever, lupus, cancer, tuberculosis, heart attack or pneumonia.
This next test sounds to me more like a weapon or air craft – the HLA B27. It's a gene marker affiliated with quite a few related rheumatic conditions. They have a few things in common such as peripheral arthritis (affects the large joints of the body) and spinal arthritis, skin and gastro-intestinal disorder, certain glaucoma, and psoriasis like skin lesions. This isn't a usual test that A Doctor would perform because a lot of patients with this gene never develop any rheumatic symptoms.
Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) is a blood sample specimen from the patient, put onto microscope slides that have been commercially prepared with cells, to look for antinuclear antibodies. If the patient's serum does contain the ANA, they will bind to the cells on the slide (particularly the nuclei of the cells).
A second commercially fluorescent tagged antibody is then added to the serum and prepared cells on the slide. The fluorescent antibody attaches to the serum antibodies and cells which have bound together, and when it's viewed under an ultraviolet microscope, the ANA appear as fluorescent cells.
ANA's are discovered in people who various autoimmune diseases, but can be also found in patients with infections, lung disease, cancer, GI diseases, hormonal disease, blood diseases, and skin diseases. Having ANA tests performed is only one factor in diagnosing RA, other factors need to be considered such as symptoms, medical history and other medical tests.
Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody (Anti-CCP) test is a fairly new test being preformed to help doctors diagnose Rheumatoid Arthritis. It measures the citrulline antibody, and if it is a moderate to high level it not only confirms the diagnosis but also may show that the patient is at an increased risk for damage to joints.
One last test that I found was on Synovial Fluid, the thick fluid found in cartilage which reduces friction between joints and adds lubrication and cushioning during movement. Analyzing the synovial fluid helps detect markers of joint destruction, but this is not a test that is usually performed because it's not the most comfortable test. A sterile needle is inserted into the joint space, and fluid is then aspirated into a syringe. The specimen is then analyzed in a laboratory and examined for red and white blood cells, crystals (in case of gout), and bacteria.
X-rays, ultra-sound and MRI's are commonly performed in order to determine the possibility and extent of joint damage, in order to give doctors a better understanding of the intensity of the condition.
Initially these are the some of the first tests that are preformed especially during the diagnosis process.
While waiting for the results of my Rh factor test, I went through a roller coaster of thoughts and images in my mind. Sometimes I was optimistic, sometimes pessimistic and sometimes in complete denial. How did you feel while waiting for your results?

Yes - I fly a Logo 10, Corona, Hornet II, Zoom, and a Hummingbird. There's a group that flies Saturday morning at the Sun Lakes field:

Falcon and Rotor, I'm also in Chandler... got a fully upgraded Corona and a 'fresh out of the box' Aerohawk, not yet flyable. Just started a new job, so my flying time is somewhat limited for a while, and I'm still learning as well.. I use a lighted basketball court here at the apartment complex for trimming, tuning, and post-upgrade tests, and I sometimes fly very early in the AM at Tumbleweed Park, but a 30-mile commute has curtailed the early AM flights.

Here's two more Phoenix helicopter clubs:

|Sep 15, 2004, 09:45 AM
Falcon, I've been to the Sun Lakes field a number of times, but mainly just to find out more about RC activity in this area.. I've never flown there, either fixed-wing or helis. Good bunch of guys.. last I heard, they were at risk of losing that site, but I believe it's not gonna happen for quite a while yet. Also, as Rotor mentioned, the people at Adventure Hobbies are very helpful, especially Nate. The Corona is my first heli AND my first E-powered ship, and now, I'm taking inventory of all my glo-powered planes in preparation for a 'blowout sale'.. gonna go 100% electric from here on. These RCgroups forums are a real goldmine of information on amost all RC-related topics, but there's no substitute for 'live' help and advice, especially with helis.
|Sep 15, 2004, 10:48 AM
We should gather arround sometime...
There's no micro helicopter club arround here.... adventurehobby are NITRO people... they personally don't like electric and expecially small heli...
Im arround Tempe/Mesa...
Let see. i got... a Corona, Ep concept, Hornet2, Custom made micro...
But still suck at flying... hahahaha...

RotorCycle- The second link you gave me looks like the closest one to me. I think I might head out to Sun Lakes too so I can fly my fixed wing too.
helisfreak- Yeah that would be great. I'd like to talk with some other micro heli owners in the area.
|Sep 15, 2004, 11:51 AM
The Adventure Hobby guys do fly nitro, but that because most large heli flyers only fly nitro. Before the Logo 10 and 20, there was really no other choice for a larger electric helicopter. But they do sell allot of electric, and stock a number of e-heli's and replacement parts. That's where I picked up my Corona, the Hummingbird, and the Logo 10. What they don't have in stock they always order right away. They sell Zooms like candy.
These guys do have the once-a-year electric fly-in at Rodio park in Gilbert. This is the park where the local soaring club meets once a month.
Don't forget to go to the Phoenix Southwest Heli-Rodeo Nov 5-7th. It's primarily big nitro copters, but the pilots are amazing.

I am in Chandler also, have had the same experiences with Adventure Hobbies. It is a great place with great people, but they will try to convince you that electrics cannot do what nitros will do. I don't have enough experience myself to know if that is the really real truth or not. I would love to get together with any that would like to! I got a Dragonfly recently and I am able to get a controlled hover. I am champing at the bit to get something bigger that I can fly outside, but don't know yet whether to go electric or nitro. I am still seeking opinions!! And experience!! There is a field near us, at Price and north of Chandler Blvd., that many people use for electric flying. I am there almost every day!! Post or email me if you want to meet and fly, I have a large garage that I fly my Dragonfly in.
|Sep 15, 2004, 03:00 PM
Offcourse NITRO proform much more better then EP... (my opnion) But I like EP more... But they like NItro more because YOU get SAME power through out the whole tank... and don't lose a single power lose... BUt with battery you do... And since most NItro heli are bigger then EP.. much more stable and easier to see...
Price and CHandler eh... im moving down there right now... I pass by there almost daily... .i don't see any field? are we like allow there.. or is it some kind of Private property... So it on PRICE.... pass Chandler... What time do you usually out there?
Im trying to get my ep concept back in the air so i can go fly to... wheather is getting nice out side guys..

The field is on the east side of Price, just north of Chandler Blvd. When you go north on price from Chandler, stay on the right so you do not get on the highway, and you will see it on your right. I will be there today about 5:30, flying either my yellow J3 cub, or my Stryker. You be there around that time?
|Sep 15, 2004, 06:25 PM
Can't get my concept to work... err.. damn freaken ASTRO motor.... bah.. i can't get the magnet to stay on there.. so it lock up every time it get hot so much.... lucky my ep concept have auto rotation... but i won't be out till i can get something to fly with...
