DX6i, DX7, DX7se, DX8 set-up instructions
And for anyone who wants to set-up a Radian Pro on a DX5e:
SETTING UP A RADIAN PRO ON THE DX5e AND THE AR500 RECEIVER
For those who do not have computer radios, this may help you see how to use your DX5e and AR500, or any other standard radio/receiver, that has at least 5 channels.
Your DX5e absolutely has all the controls needed to fly the Radian pro. You won't be able to do the fancy surface mixing that the expensive radios can do but you can absolutely fly the Pro on the DX5e and the AR500 or AR600. And, if you set it up as I suggest you will be able to do more than you might have thought. Don't let the radio be a barrier to your enjoying this new Radian.
I will be laying out controls based on Mode 2, the most commonly configuration used in North America. Mode 1 or 3 would place things differently but the effect is the same.
Pitch and roll - right stick
yaw and speed - left stick
ELEVATOR stays on right stick as pitch goes on the right stick.
AILERONS - AR500 has a built in "Y" cable so it has two aileron slots but only one channel. You can just plug in the ailerons in the aileron slots assuming that they are set-up facing opposite each other, which is what I would expect. You will control these from the right stick which is where primary roll control always goes regardless of what surfaces you have.
*Rudder - moves to the left stick. This is true of every plane that has ailerons. Rudder now becomes your yaw control which goes on the left stick. You now have finer control of the Radian Pro than you had of the Radian because Yaw and Roll are no longer coupled.
Throttle and Flaps - Where to put them on the DX5e? Well, that depends on you and your intent.
If you are more of a power plane pilot, then you put the throttle on the left stick and the flaps on the switch. The flaps will need a Y cable which may be included with the Pro. That means you use the throttle a lot and the flaps are only used as brakes just before you land. Nothing wrong with this, but this is not the way I would set it up.
If you are more of a glider pilot then you put the throttle on the switch and the flaps on the left stick. I am more of a glider pilot so that is what I would do. To me flaps are more than brakes, they help me reshape the wing in the air to control speed and glide path. I want fine control of the flaps for camber, reflex and landing.
I only use the motor to climb so it is on or off in 30 seconds typically. I really don't need fine control on the throttle so I would put that throttle on the switch. In fact many high end competition e-glider pilots with expensive radios and planes put their throttle on a switch. Power on/power off is all you need.
With the flaps on the left stick I have fine control of the flaps and that means I can use them for full glide path control as well as braking. Flaps would be neutral with the stick all the way forward. If you think of this as a speed control, flaps neutral is my high speed position for them. Left stick pulled all the way back is my low speed or stopping position. That is the standard way to set them up on a glider.
If I find lift, I can apply a very small amount of flaps to increase the undercamber shape to the wing in a thermal to climb more quickly in the lift. That means I would pull the left stick slightly toward me to bring the flaps down a couple of mm or about 1/4". On my Futaba 9C sailplane radio I have this on a switch, but using the DX5e I would just move the left stick a little. Or I could just put in some number of clicks in the trim for the left stick to get camber.
If I am up high and want to get down I can ease in more flaps, then put the nose down, to help me bring the plane down steeply without gaining a lot of speed. I might not put them full on, depending on my goals, my distance from the field, etc. I have fine control so I use it.
As I am coming in for a landing I can ease the flaps in and out as needed to control the glide path for a precision landing. Remember I am a glider pilot so the idea of using the motor on approach is not part of my flying style.
I might even be able to work out a way to raise the flaps slightly for a reflex position to enhance penetration into the wind. Again a few clicks of the trim might be all I need or I could set up some kind of mechanical stop on the throttle. Perhaps a piece of wood stock that is taped on the radio. When it is flipped toward me it would stop the stick from going all the way forward. I would adjust the flaps so that this would be flap neutral.
When I want reflex, I put in a few clicks of trim or I flip this block out of the way allowing the stick to move all the way forward. This would be set up to have the flaps raised up about 2 mm. Now I have reflex for wind penetration or high speed glide out of sink.
Believe me, glider pilots were doing this kind of stuff long before there were computer radios.
As you can see a DX5e and the AR500 can be used to fly the Radian pro and you will have advanced controls as compared to the original Radian. You won't have crow, you won't have full trailing edge camber control and you won't have flap to elevator mixing so you will have to learn to add some down elevator manually when you deply the flaps.
FLAP TO ELEVATOR MIXING - As you apply flaps you change the shape and the lift character of the wing. If you have a computer radio that can provide automatic flap to elevator mixing then you mix in some down elevator as you move the flaps down. Otherwise the nose of the Radian Pro will "balloon" up and the plane will tend to stall.
Without this mix you have to do this with your right stick manually. It is not hard but it does take practice to get it right. Even basic computer radios like the DX6i, Futaba 6EX or the older Hitec Flash 5X have this mix.
If you are flying the DX5e or other standard radio, without mixes, you will need to learn to apply some down elevator whenever you apply the flaps. If you don't you may find yourself crashing or stalling a lot. This is true whether you have the flaps on the switch or the left stick. It is a learned process and after a while it becomes automatic. But this is one reason people like computer radios as you can set them up to do this for you automatically and consistently.
Radian Pro Spektrum DX6i, DX7 and DX8 Set-ups
I think I would use the trim for flap reflex, and set neutral flap with the stick full forward and the trim at mid point. Push the trim forward and you get reflex. Great idea aeajr.
Just reading through the manual - I have a few questions.
1) attaching the tail plane it says use tape. What tape should i be using?
2) I need to purchase a new Spektrum receiver tomorrow (I use a DX6i so will be looking for a 6 channel receiver). Is my only choice an AR6210?
In the future if I purchased a new transmitter (lets say the Aurora 9), to take full advantage of all features would I need more than 6 channels for the receiver? I'd want the flaps to follow the ailerons for increased control (is this just mixing via the TX)?
I was under impression that the increased aileron size would help at low speed when landing. But surely when landing the flaps would be down? So how can you couple flaps with ailerons when the flaps are in the down position? Seems like one or the other not both possible?
thanks in advance
Some of the reasons for my asking are _ _ _
I did notice the horns of the aileron servos to be at an angle to provide mechanical aileron differential.
However the angles were appreciably different resulting in the differential being different on right and left rolls.
I made that angle the same on both guessing that an angle about half way of the originals can be tried. From that I have mixed rudder to ailerons with my transmitter so I do not have any problems for that.
Since the clevisses on the model were not in the same positions as in the manual and no deflection info is in the manual I became curious what others have on their model.
I would hope that someone will respond to that.
I like to use quite a bit of exponential and would like to increase the tail contol sensitiviy at low speeds. I have considered increasing the size of the elevators and rudder.
I am curious if anyone has done that and by how much.
Thanks again for your response.
Often the posting gets quickly on a previous page and does not get read anymore. Here I use 25 postings per page but I do go and look at least at 3 to 6 previous pages or at least a week or two of previous postings.

The main reason to buy this receiver is because the failsafe settings are programmable. With the 600 and the 6210, all you get if the signal is lost is the motor quits. The control surfaces simply "remember their last position" which basically means they do nothing. I call that "Dumb-safe". The 6255 would allow you to decide what happens if you ever lose the signal.
does the 6255 come with a satellite? and does it support DSMX?
aeajr thanks for all the information. The RP is my first and only RC plane and I have been flying it for almost 1 year now. I just recently put my flaps to stick and throttle to switch on my DX5e. I get more flight time now because I can float it more in the wind since it now has better flap control. I should have done the switch a long time ago.
A 6 channel receiver is enough to use all advertised features of the RP. The flaps will be on a Y connector. If you want the additional option of coupling flaps and ailerons, the flaps will have to be on separate channels and you will need 7 channel receiver. Full span aileron is probably the least needed of the options, so 6 channel is fine IMHO.
C'mon, Cadders, tell us noobs what gear you're using and teach how to do what you're doing.

Business Intelligence (BI) has historically been associated with the delivery of business performance information to a privileged few senior managers and analysts residing in large organisations. A recent study exploring information needs and availability at the operational end of the business, however, uncovered some pretty clear results, some of which challenge traditional assumptions head on.
Information is key to running a business, but accuracy, timeliness and accessibility are dire
The challenge is universal. Across sales, marketing, operations and HR, and all size bands of organisation, it is apparent that while timely access to relevant and accurate information is of significant importance to the effective running of a business, the majority of organisations just do not have this kind of access in place. The evidence is clear that fragmentation of systems and information is a big contributor to the issues, but there are other factors too.
Audience focus is a major part of the problem, with many workers left to fend for themselves
While BI has traditionally focused on the needs of a select few business managers and analysts, this is no longer good enough. Business dynamics and the pursuit of competitive edge through worker empowerment are broadening the requirements for information across the workforce in general. The trouble is that BI capability is not keeping up, leaving many out in the cold.
Any type of data needed to run the business falls into BIs remit. This is changing the game.
As organisations look to deal with the issues, another shift comes into sharp focus. The majority now acknowledge that unstructured data has to fall within the remit of their BI activities. This view makes absolute sense. Looked at from a pure business perspective, the type and format of information is not something users should have to worry about all they want is convenient access to whatever information is relevant to getting the job done. The upshot is a shake-up of traditional definitions and mindsets, with the scope of BI extending beyond traditional hard core number crunching solutions to an inclusive approach embracing familiar and friendly options such as office tools and portals.
Fragmented activity and budgets hamper change. Solving issues one at a time wont fix things
The acknowledgment of the problem is there. Some activity by forward thinking organisations is delivering benefits, and investment in BI related activities is increasing. However, a significant amount of fragmented activity (actions and budgets) threatens to render efforts ineffectual, as piecemeal investment to tackle problems in isolation, while in the right spirit, compounds the problem.
Aligning need and ability is achievable, but get on the right side of the expanding gap
A gap has already opened up between those organisations that get the new, broader need and remit of BI, and those that do not, something that is reflected in both investment activity and business performance. While those that dont act move backwards in relative terms, organisations that grasp the nettle and deal with the practicalities of providing BI for the masses will continue to pull away.

text: I am posting this because I have seen others in the Forum that appear to have been looking for something like this. My Galaxy S is now "IPod Touch Like" with phone capability with the very important proviso that I'm in control of it. I'm happy with the phone now. Not a novice to phones, but I am to the Android system. The phone setup is EXACTLY what I was looking for: Mine is an SGH-i897 AT&T Captivate 1. AT&T pay as you go service. I paid almost full price for the phone to keep from having a contract. I pay by the minute, so I have to manage it. This option isn't for everyone. There are other options available. 2. APNs turned off, so no data via AT&T EDGE. 3. Turned off AT&T browsing. 4. WiFi data connectivity only. You'd be surprised how many hotspots there are. 5. Rooted phone. 6. Android SDK installed onto computer. 7. Samsung Kies installed on computer. It works. Being new to Android, I spent a lot of time on this Forum and others to gather information. Taking Root turned out to be so easy I didn't think it "took" at first. (But I had studied hard for days before I took the plunge.) The most difficult issue for me was turning off the AT&T browsing. That was more hit and miss and reading from the Forum. So now my phone isn't as smart as it wants to be, but at least it does just what "I" want it to do. Regards Steve

Bumping into Yoru
When Naoru was coming back from fetching the first aid from the nurse to help a student who was hurt, she bumped into Yoru who seemed to be in a rush. She watched her walk away and put her hand on Yoru's shoulder. She backed away when Yoru was about to slap her. She laughed and asked if Yoru was alright and watched her nod her head and walked off back to the hurt student.
Becoming Cure Elixir
Chasing Yoru around to be her friend
Doctor Chaos
Luna joins the team
Naoru and Luna join forces to make Yoru their friend
Yoru becomes Naoru and Luna's friend
Naoru has dark yellow mid-back hair with a white clip holding back her fringe leaving her bangs down. She wears mostly dresses with legging in winter and bike pants in summer with either slip on shoes or sneakers.
As Cure Elixir, her hair lightens and her hair grows longer with the white clip turning into a dark yellow bow which makes a small ponytail at the back with a the rest hanging down. Her outfit is mostly yellow with a white trim and no midriff.
Naoru is a kind, cheerful fourteen year old at Fortitude Academy. She is very smart and likes dancing and is in the dancing club at Fortitude Academy. She works with her mother at the local hospital and does anything to save people's life even going as far to healing her patients with her Pretty Cure powers when nobody is around. When she joins Yoru as a Pretty Cure, she wants to be her friend badly but is rejected a lot and stalked her everywhere until Yoru finally accepted her.
Cure Elixir
"A healing touch can save anything, Cure Elixir!"
"ヒーリングタッチは、何を保存することができます、キュア エリクシア!"
"Hīringu tatchi wa, nani o hozon suru koto ga dekimasu, Kyua Erikushia!"
Healing Elixir
Healing Elixir is Cure Elixir's very first attack. She holds her hand up in the air to gather power from God then she point her palm at the Image and say's her incantation. She ends her attack with "Be Gone!" to purify the Image.
Elixir Recovery
Elixir Recovery is Cure Elixir's second attack. She uses her Healing Rod for this attack.
Night Star Elixir
Night Star Elixir is a group attack she does with Cure Night Star. She also uses her Healing Rod.
Yoru Hiketsu - She has sort of a fan crush on Yoru and really wanted to her friend. When she saw her transform into Cure Night Star, she was shocked and had to protect her from the Frisbee Image. She helps Yoru with a lot of thing like Japanese and History and being nice to the other class mates. She still gets upset when Yoru rejects stuff that she comes up with.
Luna Aidama - She was always friends with Luna but they didn't hang out all the time because Naoru had to help her mum with patients at the hospital. In episode 10, when Naoru's mum told her to forget about working at the hospital till she at least eighteen, Naoru started staying over at Luna's when her mother worked late and cryed a lot in Luna's arms.
Karen Sen'yaku - Naoru has a great relationship with her mum since they both like saving people. In episode 10, when Karen told Naoru to be more social and hang out with Luna and Yoru more, Naoru did as she was told and run off to Luna's house. She still love's her mum but wishes that her 18th birthday will come quicker.
Venus -

仙薬 (Sen'yaku) - The term 仙 (Sen) means "Cent", while the term 薬 (Kusuri) means "Medicine", which would fit well with her Pretty Cure name, power and job as a doctor. Her name can be roughly translated to "Cent Medicine".
ナオル (Naoru) - The term Naoru (ナオル/治る) means "Heal" which would fit well with her powers and job.

Melbourne, Feb 7 (ANI): Cricket Australia bosses have announced that they have no plans to ban cricketers' wives and partners from future tours.
There was a debate on having wives on tour after a row between Michael Clarke and Simon Katich over Clarke's fiancee Lara Bingle.
Former bikini babe, Bingle has been linked to the dust-up because of suggestions that Clarke wanted the Australian team song sung early so he could leave the SCG dressingrooms to be with his fiancee.
However, sources insisted that this was not the case.
CA sets aside a designated period, where it pays for wives and girlfriends to travel on tour, however, they cannot stop the WAGS from travelling on their own with their partners.
But now, the CA has declared that they won't be banning the WAGS from travelling on tour.
"We have found it (having wives and partners on tour) to have a significantly positive effect," The Courier Mail quoted CA spokesman Peter Young as saying.
Along with Bingle other popular WAGS are former karate champion Jessica Bratich, partner of fast bowler Mitchell Johnson and Ricky Ponting's wife Rianna. (ANI)

Among the four different ways (and their combinations) to colour a solid, the dispersion of a phase, already coloured and stable in the fired/molten matrix ? a pigment ? is the technique offering the largest palette. The pigment preparation involves sophisticated high-temperature routes and/or the use of selected, sometimes rare minerals. Consequently, ancient painters, potters, craftsmen and glassmakers selected natural rocks or minerals to obtain blue, green, red and black colours. For instance, the blue coloration requires the use of a rare element: cobalt. Pure cobalt ores spots were exceptional and the difficult purification of cobalt derivatives could be obtained during the 19th century only. Thus, potters and glassmakers solved the problem by using recycling or specific minerals, for instance lapis lazuli, and developed convenient techniques with the use of mixed ores to obtain the blue, green, red or black colour. We discuss here enamelling/glazing technologies of ceramic and glass masterpieces with emphasis on the lapis lazuli use as blue or green pigment. We will reveal how the recent Raman microscopy studies deeply change our knowledge on the history of colouring techniques.

text: I wasn't exactly sure where I should post this but... We have always stayed at deluxe resorts but are considering staying at a moderate for part of this trip. Now my question is we tend to have a TS breakfast some morning at Deluxe resorts and some dinners there as well. We love the transportation options at deluxe resorts (most monorail) as it makes it easy to get from resort to resort but has anyone found it difficult/ had a problem eating at deluxe resorts for breakfast/dinner when staying at a moderate?! Thanks!

"Success?!" crows the television host. "More like FAILURE. They should call it Failure Deodorant." He extends his index finger and thumb to form a handgun, then blows smoke from the imaginary gun's barrel. Another political career destroyed by a single insult. It's just another day at work to him.

Tactical Bacon comes in a can with a gun logo. Whether you eat it in a fortified compound while you're having a standoff with the federal government, or alone, by the light of your computer, this $45-per-pound processed meat product will probably allow you to complete your mission to do whatever you're doing. There are, theoretically, "101 Things To Do With Bacon," but let's be realistic.

Bullet push-pins are the perfect gift for the ultraviolent person in your life who would love to shoot his cork-board but doesn't want to pay to repair the wall behind it. They're also perfect for sticking into a map to mark your past shooting sprees… or plan them for the future.

Just like the bulletproof backpacks that came out after a round of school shootings a couple years back, the SkySaver is meant to capitalize on your fear of being stuck in a burning skyscraper in a post-9/11 world. It's an insanely expensive one-time-use cable and rappelling harness that you use, once, to escape from the window of a room that's up to 260 feet away from the street.
Since the only way to actually review one of these would be to blow a thousand bucks by testing it, there aren't any reviews from people who have actually used it. And if your skyscraper catches on fire, and it fails to save your life, you won't leave a review either. Given the statistics of skyscraper fires, and the limitations of this device, it's likely that no one who has purchased one will actually use it as intended.

I have had the opportunity to photograph and work with some incredible trans performers and today I'm giving a big shout out to two of them - Jack StockLynn (circus performer) and Charlie Laban Trier (dancer). Thank you both for the incredible collaborations!
Collaboration, fashion, and a helluva lot of fun!
Some history.
When I was young, six or seven, I started sewing costumes for my dolls and photographing them in various scenes around the house (flower pots, kitchen shelves, looking at the river). In high school I photographed local theater productions and developed dozens (hundreds?) of b&w portraits of my friends. In college I started working with local designers and performers to create lookbooks, headshots, posters, and visual narratives that told the stories of the brand. While working on my MFA I realized that I loved shooting landscapes with (gasp) no people in them.
Over the years I've continued working on portraits, collaborating with local designers, and shooting for books and magazines (online and print), and, most recently I'm loving collaborating with writer and queer fashion blogger Nic de Luna. Here's a sneak peek. Check out the blog for more!
Your Story
Portraits of people I met in NYC, Brooklyn, Mexico, Portland, and the many roads in between.Read More
Every now and then I open my eyes and glimpse the stardust that weaves through the galaxy and connects us all. To our shared histories. To the endless possibilities of the future. Through photography I step out of the ashes and into the stars.
Photographic Vision
Vision can be elusive. We may not always have an immediate conscious reaction to the world, may not understand our feelings about the story in front of us. In these times, it is often the case that the camera becomes more than a means to record our vision; it becomes the means to help clarify it. The act of looking through the frame, of excluding other angles and elements, of bringing chaos into order, can bring our vision to the surface. This ability to help us see means, in some way, that the camera is a partner with us in the process, and it is what separates photographers from painters. We have a symbiotic relationship -- not with the camera technology but with the frame, which, for all the technological changes photography has been through, remains the constant.
- David duChemin, Within the Frame: The Journey of Photographic Vision.
Starting something...
Gratitude and Celebration
I realized that one of the things I love see most is that they haven't learned that they "can't" do something, or can't do it in a certain way (kitchen knives and hot pans aside). They are discovering new things every day.
As we grow up, we learn we are better at some activities than others. We are encouraged down different paths. We begin to be assigned labels. We practice different skills.
Yes, some things come more naturally (I have never been able to understand car engines, no matter how hard my father tried), and we generally like doing things we excel at, but we also build the muscles we use. For me, those are often creative in nature. The way I see. How I solve problems. The tools I use to make images. And it isn't easy. I hear people talk about talent like it's something that just shows up, delivered by the proverbial stork. Or Santa Claus.
Like many people, I've had my share of ruts and setbacks. This happened recently (for two years) and I felt so frustrated and confused by this art of mine. I kept pulling out the camera because I knew I had to do it - I had to stay alert and I also needed to stay connected to the pathways through my brain and heart that seek out the beautiful and the curious. I knew I was making something, but I couldn't see where it was going.
After conversations with friends, therapy sessions, a few bottles of wine, and travels from one coast to the other and back again, one day, sitting in an airport, all of the pieces came together. After two years, I finished the body of work within a few weeks. As my life came into alignment, so did my art. The day I put the final words to paper to describe this journey, I submitted the work for the first time. And now I sit in wonder that this creation is a finalist in Photolucida's Critical Mass. I received the email a few days ago and haven't been able to find words to adequately express my humble gratitude, my shocked amazement.
One body of work is now complete and slowly making it's way out into the world. Another hangs from magnets in my office - resequenced daily. It is still growing. This weekend I began planning something new and I am excited to see yet another path for exploration. Another way of working with love, longing, connection, memory, home.
Today I write to remember this moment and to celebrate the triumph of continuing to create, whatever comes next. And I write to thank you for traveling through this journey with me.

NYC > PDX. Day 5.
The road seems to keep getting longer. We're both quieter than we were a couple of days ago. All of the postcards have been written and mailed. Sometime tonight we'll make it home, but we have the Boise heat, the wildfires in eastern Oregon, sunset in the Columbia Gorge, and many, many bottles of coconut water and iced tea to get through first.
NYC > PDX. Day 4.
Climbing the Rockies. Altitude sickness. A very fully packed car. THE BEST PEACHES. Photos. Photos. Moab. Photos. It's almost midnight...I think we're somewhere in Utah, now?
NYC > PDX. Day 3.
Woke up in Omaha in a real house (thanks Jack's in-laws!) and then made gluten-free, vegan blueberry pancakes. Because that's how we roll.
We're covering a lot of miles every day, so today we decided to be tourists for a few minutes and stop at the Pony Express station. Turns out it is exactly halfway between NYC and PDX. I think we're going to make it!
NYC > PDX. Day 2.
Sunday. Woke up in a terrible, terrible motel outside of Cincinnati. And what do you do when in a terrible motel? First, open the door to let out the smell of stale smoke. Then, PHOTOSHOOT!
And then diner coffee. A lot of diner coffee.
NYC > PDX. Day 1.
We woke up in style at Kimpton's posh Ink48, knowing it might be the last comfortable bed we saw until we reached Portland and home. Then there was traffic. A lot of traffic. All the way through NJ and into Pennsylvania. (Pennsylvania is a very. long. state.) We sang along with the Fun Home soundtrack for awhile and pointed out references from the show the night before. (We were on I-80 after all, basically driving from shore to shore.)
Last Day in NYC. (for awhile)
Bestie + road trip buddy arrives on a redeye from PDX. Hotel and shower. Coffee. Subway. Sister. LES. Tea.. Pala's Pizza. Bluestocking. Coffee. 3D printing. Happy Hour. Blisters. Favorite restaurants. Central Park. FUN HOME. Hotel. Wine and photos in the lobby with best friends. Hugs that last forever and not nearly long enough. Falling asleep looking out at the Hudson.
NEW WORK: Cartographers of Memory
I was raised on stories I didn't believe, but wanted to. Fairy tales and family histories that changed with every retelling. Through empty roads and conversations around kitchen tables, I learned that every moment is both a discovery and a loss. The facts of our lives become history, until we have only pieces of memory woven into a personal mythology.
My grandmother, Tutu, had a stroke last February, at the age of 92. Four months later she told me that she could no longer laugh or cry, but that she still had a universe of thoughts inside her mind. For this woman of passion and chaos, a house was never enough space for all of her paper sculptures, her pianos and violins, her inventions and ideas. Now she sits in a chair in her daughter's house, surrounded by beige walls, her mind filled with emotions and desires she struggles to express.
When I was a child her life existed for me as a series of unbelievable tales: training as a concert violinist in New York and drawing maps during WWII. Building a house in southern California out of barn doors and stained glass windows. Intentionally burning toast every morning. Befriending movie stars and opera singers and getting married four times to three husbands, but raising five daughters on her own.
At 30 I realized the stories were real. Without knowing it, I spent three years retracing many of my grandmother's dreams – from New York City to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Adventure is her legacy.
These images, captured during my travels to San Miguel, are part family album, memoir, poem, and prayer. In the high desert, all of our masks and facades are scoured away in the wind and the dust, washed clean in the afternoon rain. The land here is made of light. It is sunbaked stone and agave plants and women emerging from their old lives like butterflies into the sharp sunlight.
This is a map of my search for my family's history and my own home. The photographs show the expansion of a life, of becoming part of a world vaster and more fantastic than the books that fed my childhood dreams. But pause and reverse, see the images backwards, and they tell the story of a life that now turns inward, contained within four walls. And the universe of her mind. My world is now the one expanding, while Tutu's becomes ever more still.
...You can see the full body of work on my website, maricofayre.com...
Today - write a book, start a band, start a company, rebuild a motorcycle, bake a cake, pack a suitcase and board a train. Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes.
Love each other.
Love yourselves.
And celebrate!
I am fascinated by the people we become when we travel, whether it is a day trip to the beach or nine months in Mexico. There is freedom in discovering who we are in a new place. I started reading myths and fairy tales about as soon as I could sound out the words. The goddesses were my favorite (no surprise there), and the heroines who changed their fates, but there was one that I just couldn't understand at age eight or twelve or even twenty-six. I tried and tried and I couldn't understand why Persephone would eat the pomegranate seeds. The daughter of a goddess had to know she was changing her fate, either that or she was the dumbest character ever written.
And then I lived. I grew up and I got married and got divorced. I traveled, moving first to the desert and then to New York City. I turned thirty-plus and one night, I understood. We all go to hell. Sometimes we choose the journey, more often we are pulled into the darkness kicking and screaming. And then. We emerge one day, changed. Broken, patched together, and, if we're lucky and a little bit wise, stronger and more awake than we were before.
Persephone didn't naively eat a handful of seeds. She wasn't forced or coerced into staying, however violent her original transformation. The young girl became a queen in the darkness.
In the sunlight she dances, and as the leaves turn, she hears the whispers begin again and she walks into the earth, steadily. Maybe she follows the bread crumbs, or maybe she has learned to see in the darkness.
Breathing and Being
These days I often feel like I'm living in a dream. The air is thick and heavy and I have a hard time keeping my thoughts together. They travel in waves, in circles. They travel on the wind. It's not so much a lack of focus as a feeling of drifting through a galaxy of thoughts and ideas – everything connected but not yet solid. As much as I want to put down roots I feel like I'm being pulled in and out in the tides. Floating and untethered. And so I do things that help ground me: baking, dancing, petting a cat, reading. And I feel myself connected to the earth again. There are so many ways that we weigh and measure time. These days, I'm learning to be. To pause and measure life not by how much I'm doing, but by the quality of the moment. Allowing the smell of wood smoke and the vibrant red of a too-ripe tomato fill my world. Learning to prioritize, some days better than others, what's really important. Learning what truly adds value to my life and what just takes up time.
I've been thinking a lot about history, memory, patterns, and how we learn to acknowledge, name, and accept all of the pieces of our experiences. Of ourselves. And so today I send this wish to all of you.
May there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
Bringing our whole selves to what we create...
It's true that I overthink everything. Including this post, which is why I blog infrequently, at least when there are words involved. I have a somewhat simpler time communicating with images, though only marginally. Recently I've had so many conversations about what I create and why - friends, other artists, strangers at theater performances...The "why" really is key for me, and it's a big part of what I ask students to define in their thesis work. And yet, perhaps I sometimes overthink even that. (If I'm honest, there's no perhaps about it.) I can often become immobilized by my need to create work with a deep and lasting purpose – work that will change the world and connect with people emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually. It's a tall order.
When it comes right down to it, why do I pick up the camera at a given moment? Because I have to do it. I want to remember. I am curious by nature and I use photography as a way of capturing experiences and sharing them with others. I also use photography as an integral part of my explorations and process. Through the images I create, I begin to see myself more clearly, to understand my experiences, to communicate my feelings.
Looking at a series of images, I see the journey. Sometimes images that began with one story develop into something new – in hindsight.
Often, the act of pausing and opening myself up in order to create allows me to pause and to fully be present in my experience. Like many of us, I learned to numb my emotions from an early age and present a pretty picture (pardon the pun). I was "nice," and so "happy," and "mature for my age." The compliments that I collected as a child turned into a cage woven from good intentions. After three decades I am only now beginning to fully embrace the vast array of feelings and reactions I have every day. The anger. Fear. Grief. Uncertainty. And I am finding that the emotions I was so terrified would eat me alive or turn me into a brittle shell are, in fact, opening the doors to joy, gratitude, exuberance, and imagination.
Beauty and darkness exist in everything – the two sides of the human experience. Attempting to ignore one inherently diminishes the other. This is a lesson I captured in images for years without really seeing it.
Every fleeting moment is a discovery and a loss. A way to remember and a temptation to live in the past. A search and a recognition. Each image shows where I have been - how I became the person I am - at the same time that it allows me to move forward and decide where I am going.

J.R. Smith will decline his player option of $2.9 million with the New York Knicks, according to ESPNNewYork.com.
"Smith will officially announce the decision before June 30, making him an unrestricted free agent.
"It was reported by the New York Post last month that Smith was "expected" to opt out. The Knicks can re-sign Smith for $4.9 million using the Early Bird exception, with standard raises over four years."
Smith averaged 18.1 points and 5.3 rebounds in 33 minutes per game of the bench this season, his best numbers in his nine-year NBA career. He helped lead the Knicks to 54 wins, but struggled in the postseason, averaging 14.3 points per game.
An ESPN league source said Smith is "likely" to re-sign with the Knicks in free agency, which begins July 1. Smith will likely want to continue playing with Carmelo Anthony and play for coach Mike Woodson, who helped the 27-year-old win the 2013 Sixth Man Award.

I am pleased to report to our community that the Lake Orion Board of Education approved the District's balanced budget for the 2016-17 school year at its regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, June 22. As has been publicly discussed, the School District had to address a projected budget shortfall for next year primarily due to Michigan's declining student enrollment and continued funding cuts from the State. In addition, insurance and retirement benefit costs continue to rise.
WHAT HAS THE DISTRICT DONE TO ASSURE A BALANCED BUDGET FOR 2016-17? Over the past few months, the following measures have been taken to assure the Lake Orion School District has a balanced budget for the 2016-17 school year. (These have been referred to as Phase 1 reductions.)
• Made district-wide personnel reductions
• Secured salary concessions from District employees
• Secured cost savings from various employee bargaining units
• Changed healthcare and dental insurance plans to generate cost savings
• Outsourced the technology department functions to Oakland Schools
• Reorganized the District's transportation department and made cost reductions
• Restructured the District's athletic department and made cost reductions
• Partially restructured the District's middle school program and staffing
• Increased revenue through Schools-of-Choice and Shared Time Services
• Explored privatization of transportation and food services. (After careful evaluation of both functions and reviewing vendors proposals, it was determined that any anticipated cost savings through privatization would not occur at this time. In addition, employee concessions were realized.)
WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE AS REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES FOR 2016-17? The following summarizes our budgeted revenue and expenditures for next school year:
o 2016 – 17 General Fund budgeted revenue $79,739, 204
o 2016 – 17 General Fund budgeted expenditures $79, 583,268
o Net operating surplus $155,936
WHAT IS THE DISTRICT PLANNING IN PHASE 2 TO AVOID ANY POTENTIAL DEFICIT? Having now completed Phase 1, the next few months will target Phase 2 areas of alignment of facilities and improvement in efficiencies:
• Maximizing building capacity, which will most likely involve closing and/or repurposing a school(s)
• Redistricting our current students into the remaining schools
• Revisiting the District's program offerings and content to ensure that all students have enhanced curriculum opportunities.
WHAT HAS THE DISTRICT DONE TO REDUCE ITS CURRENT DEBT? In addition to pursuing various ways to right size the School District and cut costs, the School District has actually reduced its debt significantly over the past five years. Much of the original debt incurred was from construction of four instructional buildings to accommodate the community's population growth in the 1990's (Lake Orion High School, Paint Creek, Orion Oaks and Oakview.)
• During this period, we have reduced outstanding voted and School Bond Loan Fund debt by $61.6 million.
• The School District's total estimated debt at the end of this month will be $125.7 million.
• In addition, through a series of debt refinancing moves over the past four years by the School District, $16.2 million in savings and cost avoidance have been realized to the benefit of taxpayers.
WHAT IS THE DISTRICT'S EXPECTED FUND BALANCE AT THE END OF 2016-17? Another key consideration to assure the financial health of the School District is the fund balance. The district auditors recommend and the School Board is committed to a fund balance of ten percent of total expenditures. In 2007, our fund balance stood at 18 percent. The financial challenges of recent years have forced us to use a portion of the fund balance to balance the budget. At the end of the 2016-17 school year, we project a budgeted fund balance of $5,858,602. This represents 7.4% of expenditures. Through continued careful budgeting and restructuring of the School District, we expect to return the fund balance to ten percent by 2018.

Safety Program Stalled at 3 Airlines
Wednesday, December 31, 2008
A program that allows pilots to voluntarily report safety lapses without the fear of punishment has remained suspended at three big airlines, even after a push this month by acting FAA Administrator Robert A. Sturgell to get it back on track.
Sturgell is trying to break an impasse between US Airways, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines and their respective pilots unions over rules that pilots say could expose them to more disciplinary action. He sent letters this month to union presidents and the carriers' chief executives urging them to resolve their conflicts. On at least one letter, Sturgell scribbled in the margin: "Get this done."
"Both sides need to compromise," Sturgell said in a recent interview. "It's very hard to understand, from my perspective, how a program that has been in place for a decade or more, and providing benefits all along the way, suddenly becomes not a good program."
Some congressmen also are demanding action to restart the programs, known as Aviation Safety Action Programs, or ASAPs. Earlier this week, pilots received a letter from Rep. John L. Mica (Fla.), the ranking Republican on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, encouraging the sides to reopen talks.
"The Aviation Safety Action Program is an invaluable tool in protecting the flying public," he wrote. "In fact, every day this matter remains unresolved places the safety of the aviation passengers at risk."
One option floated this week in Washington involved convening a meeting of union leaders and top airline executives, possibly the chief executives themselves, as a way to work through the impasse. Of the three airlines, only US Airways has reported that it is in active talks with pilots to restart the program.
Designed to encourage pilots and other airline employees to voluntarily report safety concerns without the threat of disciplinary action or punishment, American Airlines became the first carrier to institute a safety action program in 1994. Since then the programs have grown to cover dispatchers, flight attendants and air traffic controllers. The FAA currently has 170 agreements in place with 70 air carriers. So far this year, the industry has generated about 50,000 reports, the FAA says.
John Hansman, an aviation professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the programs have become increasingly important to understanding aviation safety, especially given the industry's low accident rate.
"We are actually in a period when the aviation system is incredibly safe," Hansman said. "As a consequence we have to look for what we call accident precursors -- identifying things that are unsafe in the system before they cause accidents."
Conflicts started to arise in recent years as attorneys and safety officials started fighting over the complicated language of the agreements. The pilots' attorneys say the airlines appear to be seeking language that would give airlines greater ability to reject reports.
Union officials have described the programs as priceless because they uncover information that may have never come to light. Some are small, like paperwork abnormalities or training issues. Others draw greater concern such as a pilot landing a plane or crossing a runway without proper clearances.
Under FAA guidelines, inadvertent safety lapses are supposed to be resolved though corrective action rather than through punishment. Pilots say any changes in the agreements' language could leave them exposed to greater risk of disciplinary action.

Genres: Contemporary Romance
Series: Bachelor Auction #4
Published by Entangled Publishing
Source: NetGalley
Copy for review provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Boston socialite Morgan Lett is having a run of bad luck. Her fiancé just dumped her for her stepsister, the charity foundation she's given her life to is in danger of folding, and now, the gorgeous man she bid on and won at a masquerade bachelor auction turns out to be a cold-hearted jerk…and her new employer.
Millionaire Alexander Bishop needs the best wife money can buy. In order to inherit his family business, he must get engaged—fast. And Morgan, with her beauty and pedigree, is the perfect candidate. Her sharp tongue may drive him crazy, but she needs money to save the foundation she loves, and he needs a fiancée. It's a flawless arrangement—no strings, no love. But soon she has him craving more, and cursing the platonic terms of their agreement.
Still, he won't allow need—no matter how hot it burns—to threaten everything he's built.
A Millionaire at Midnight is the fourth book in the Bachelor Auctions series by Naima Simone. Combining some familiar tropes (such as enemies to lovers, best friend's sibling, etc.) with super sexy and engaging romances, they've all been great reads. But I have to admit that this one is my favourite.
Morgan Lett and Alexander Bishop's first encounter sets up a clash of strong personalities when Alex overhears Morgan saying that she's on the hunt for a rich man who can put out in the sack. Thinking she's just another gold digger when Morgan bids and wins a date with him that night at a bachelor auction he's.. well.. not pleased. Then to top off his bad karma, she turns out to be the executive assistant at a company he's just acquired – meaning she's now his new employee.
Morgan can't believe that the man who overheard her blowing off a couple of gossips and refused to accept an explanation is the same man who is now her bachelor auction date – and her new boss! She's determined to keep her job, though, despite their mutual antagonism. When she overhears that Alex needs a fiancee to cement a position with his family company, she suggests a deal – she needs money to help save a charity close to her heart and for that, she'll happily pretend to be his loving fiancee. With no other options in sight, Alex reluctantly agrees. But the sparks that fly between them on the surface are just a prelude to the fiery passion that gets unleashed as their pretense heats up. Both Alex and Morgan have been hurt in relationships in the past – can they trust that what they are discovering between them is the real thing?
I loved this story, from its firecracker start to the sweet epilogue. Morgan's protective shell over her heart still has some cracks in it after her fiance left her for her stepsister (ouch!) but she covers with a sassy personality and a strong and confident demeanor. She and Alex have some terrific banter as they jockey for the upper hand in their relationship. Morgan's got some soft spots, though, and while Alex could use those to his advantage, he quickly realizes that he is more interested in protecting Morgan than hurting her.
Alex comes across as a man with a lot of responsibility on his plate, a hard working executive who tries to turn companies around with the least amount of employee loss as possible. He's a wealthy man but he's got a conscience and a heart. He has a half-sister, Kim, whom his father doesn't acknowledge but whom he takes his brotherly duties towards seriously. Divorced from an unfaithful wife, he's not interested in commitment so a pretend relationship with Morgan might come with some perks, but he's not going to let it go too far.
Morgan and Alex together sizzle. There are lots of laugh out loud moments and their love scenes are super steamy. As they open up to each other, their heart to heart conversations reveal two people who have more in common than they expected. Both Morgan and Alex's families play key roles in the story, and as in life, not everything is as black and white as it seems at the start. There are some bumps in the road along the way, but the happy ending they get will leave you with a smile on your face. With an interesting and engaging plot and a fiery well-matched couple, this one is definitely going on the keeper shelf!

If you can sew a straight line, you can recover your couch and chair cushions in no time -- without the need for zippers or fancy stitchery. Scissors, fabric, a sewing machine, a needle, thread, and a tape measure are all you need for the couch. Using a screwdriver and a staple gun, you can reupholster a chair without sewing one single stitch. Shop fabric outlet stores for savings. Head straight to the remnants section to catch the best buys. Before you know it, your old couch cushions and chair seats will have a brand new look.
Measure the width, length and depth for the couch and/or chair cushions. Jot the measurements down on paper.
Use a measuring tape to determine measurements for a couch cushion. Start at the upper right corner and continue running the tape measure around the circumference. Use the final measurement to determine the length of fabric you will need for the sides of the couch cushion. Measure the height and width of the existing cushion to determine how much fabric you will need for the top and bottom.
Use a bit different approach for the chair. Measure the width, height and depth. Then add three times the depth of the cushion to the measurements for the length and width. For example, if the couch cushion were five inches deep, you would add 15 inches to the measurement for the height and width of the existing cushion. The extra fabric is used to for the depth, and you wrap the remaining fabric underneath the bottom and staple it.
Remove the current fabric from the cushion, exposing the foam cushion. Take your measurements based on the size of the "naked" cushion.
Cut fabric to create the sides of the cushion. Add 5/8 inch to the top, bottom and sides for sewing the seam to join the sides to the top and bottom fabric pieces. Repeat this process to cut the fabric for the top and bottom.
Sew the sides to the top fabric, start in the centre and work around the entire bottom piece for the cushion. Repeat the process for the bottom; however, leave the back open so you can have a large enough opening for the cushion.
Reinsert the foam cushion. Take a needle with coordinating thread and slip stitch the opening.
Remove the screws holding the seat cushion to the chair. Keep the project simple by keeping the existing fabric on the chairs. Place the cushion in the centre of the fabric, wrong side up.
Pull the fabric over the bottom of the cushion. Staple the fabric in the centre on the left side, then on the right. Staple the centre area for the top and bottom.
Fold and crease the corners of the fabric vertically, as if you were wrapping a present. Staple the top left followed by the right, and then the lower left and lower right.
Put the newly reupholstered cushion onto the chair. Screw the cushion back onto the chair frame.
Check outlet stores that specialise in upholstery fabric. The savings and selection are often better and you can often luck out and find designer fabrics at discount prices.

Sweden leads by example in reporting and investmentJune 2008
The mandatory requirement for state-owned companies in Sweden to produce an annual sustainability report will not be extended to listed businesses, the deputy prime minister has confirmed.
In a private interview at the Global Reporting Initiative's biennial conference, Maud Olofsson, Sweden's enterprise and energy minister, told EP that she hoped the regulation, which affects 55 companies wholly or part-owned by the state, would set the private sector an example, but it would not be more widely applied.
'I have done this in my role as an owner of the companies and I think other owners should do the same. But I will not pass any law widening mandatory non-financial reporting', she said.
Last month officials met the CEOs and chairmen of the state-owned companies, which include TeliaSonera, Vattenfall and Nordea Bank, to 'start the education process' (EP9, issue 8, p1). The Swedish National Audit Office will monitor compliance with the new law and report annually to parliament. Olofsson added that officials from other countries had expressed interest in mandatory reporting, including Austria, Norway, and also China, with whom Sweden signed a memorandum of understanding on CSR in 2007. Swedish prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt recently announced that in September 2008 a Sino-Swedish Corporate Social Responsibility Child Rights Competence Centre would open in China, where over 500 Swedish companies operate.
In a separate move involving the Swedish state, 13 companies have been named in the current SRI engagement efforts of the buffer funds AP1–AP4 of Sweden's national pension system, which is one of Europe's biggest institutional investors.
The funds, which have capital of SEK900billion ($150bn, £76bn, €97bn), selected the companies from 3500 in which they invest (see box) to 'conduct an active dialogue... in order to make them take action'.
The first report of the funds' Ethical Council, set up in early 2007, identifies half as showing 'weak positive development'. All the dialogues, for which the council says 'patience' is needed, relate to breaches of international conventions signed by Sweden.
Halliburton was the only company removed from the list last year. The oil and gas technology business has sold the subsidiary at the centre of bribery allegations and has assumed responsibility for any legal and financial consequences.

Radnor Lake's Peaceful Attraction for a Nashville Painter
by Marie K. Thompson, Member, Chestnut Group Marketing Committee
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." — Henry David Thoreau, Walden Pond
Thoreau wanted to get the most from his life by determining what was really important, and he did that by removing himself somewhat from the normal life of Concord, Massachusetts in the 1840s. To escape life's pressures, many teenagers use different escape routes, sometimes dangerous ones.
For Chestnut Group artist, Michael Poindexter, however, his love of nature directed his teenage escape from the social upheaval of the late 60s toward the woods surrounding Radnor Lake.
"The peacefulness and solitude always refreshed my energy to take on the world I was trying to understand," Poindexter says. "I knew every inch of land within that area and could have camped for days with no one ever suspecting I was there. I could spend the entire day walking in the woods and not see another person."
The young would-be painter quickly considered Radnor "his" park and he knew it better than anyone else. In the late 60s, Radnor was more of a "cut-through" between Granny White Pike and Franklin Road than an actual park for the general public. The teenager rarely saw anyone in the parts he frequented for exercise and solitude.
Today the Yale University School of Art and Memphis College of Art-trained artist frequents Radnor not only to enjoy nature but also to capture the natural beauty of the place in oil on his canvases.
Poindexter found out early that he wanted to be an artist. "My first influence came from a book of Leonardo DaVinci's drawings borrowed from my church's library," he says. "I knew then what an artist was and I wanted to be one. I started private painting lessons at age 9. My goal was to live in New York City and be an artist."
After graduate school he moved to New York in 1981 and maintained a storefront studio in Brooklyn, worked to hone his professional skills and sought gallery representation. "I quickly learned that success in the New York art world depended on many factors other than the quality and integrity of my work," Poindexter says. "At that time the 'scene' required going down a path from which many did not survive. I was not willing to sacrifice my life for the chance of achieving artist celebrity. I quickly became disillusioned with the art world in general and modern/abstract art in particular."
Like many other artists, Poindexter had to turn to other skills to support his studio; he worked as a carpenter for a company doing residential rehab construction. This proved to be advantageous to him because he met architects and was hired as an assistant in several architecture and interior design offices. Most NYC architects are trained in theory but not in practice so Poindexter exploited his knowledge as a builder. He became a project architect for 10 years and qualified for licensure in New York. The pull of Nashville and Radnor must have been strong for he moved back to his hometown in 1996 and worked as an architectural project manager for several companies until the economic collapse affected his architectural career in 2009.
The year 2012 was a turning point for Poindexter; thankfully for the art world, he began painting again. This time he was inspired to paint landscapes after seeing the work of fellow artists, Kevin Menck and Jason Saunders. In his words, "I am inspired by their landscape paintings because they have what I consider the salient qualifiers of art—composed of permanent materials, possess a mastery of form and meaningful content, and has an obvious relationship to art history."
He finds landscape painting the most enjoyable because successes in that genre are hard fought but yet so proudly won when they are achieved. His early love of Radnor is being recaptured in his recent paintings at "his" favorite park.
Poindexter is very honest about his painting techniques. "I work from photo references a lot and I'm not ashamed to admit it," he says. "To me it is just another method of recording what I see as a reference to what the final painting will look like. I don't copy photographs nor paint photo-realistically. I've studied principles of composition and believe that a good painting starts with two or three simple shapes of contrasting value. I always look for that first."
This artist understands well the challenges of plein air painting. "Absolute fidelity to the scene is impossible because of the passage of time. You can match just right that hue of a patch of sunlight, but it is gone from the scene instantly. Painting landscape from life is like a slow motion transformation of the scene in time. The result is not a copy of nature but rather more a feeling of what it was like to be there at that time."
As do many contemporary landscape painters, Poindexter has an affinity for the historical impressionist painters. In his case, he looks to the American Impressionists and considers his work distinctly American. "The American Impressionists were known for their representation of a 'place' in time. I want my paintings of Radnor Lake to be the spark that ignites the memory of that place, at that time. When that happens, I know that I have won the battle."
To learn more about Michael Poindexter and his work, you may check out his page at chestnutgroup.org/members/michael-poindexter and facebook.com/MichaelPoindexterFineArt. He is also on LinkedIn.com. You may also find his work at the various Chestnut Group shows, especially the Friends of Radnor Lake Show, Walter Criley Visitor Center, 1160 Otter Creek Road, Nashville, TN, November 6-8, 2015, and other local art shows including St. Matthew Church and School, Franklin, TN, November 14-15, 2015 and the Martin Masters Art Show, Brentwood, TN, November 13-14, 2015.

Southwest Plane's Landing Gear Comes Off at LaGuardia in New York; Some Injuries
The front landing gear came off a Southwest Airlines plane while it was trying to land at LaGuardia Airport on Monday evening. Ten people were injured.
The Associated Press reported the Federal Aviation Administration said the plane landed safely. Officials said the landing gear collapsed after the aircraft came down on the runway.
Southwest Airlines released a statement Monday saying that all passengers were taken off the plane and transferred to the terminal. It said five passengers and three flight attendants had injuries, but it is unclear how badly they were injured.
"Southwest plane without front wheel," tweeted Bobby Abtahi, posting a photo that was widely circulated on Twitter shortly after the plane landed. Scores of emergency crews were seen congregating around the plane.
The FAA said the Southwest Airlines flight was coming from Nashville and landed at 5:45 p.m. The plane was carrying 149 passengers and crew.
An eyewitness told WABC-TV that the front wheel was down when the Southwest plane approached LaGuardia. The station reported that one runway was reopened at 7:05 p.m.
The plane, a Boeing 737, "reported possible landing gear issues before landing," a spokesperson with the FAA told the Wall Street Journal.
Photos uploaded to Twitter show the plane's nose resting on the tarmac. A later photo shows passengers exiting from the plane on an inflatable slide.
"Sitting on runway at #Laguardia and see sparks out the window. Plane came in with no front landing gear. Airport closed indefinitely," wrote user Mary Woodard.
User Matt Lewis wrote: "Stuck on tarmac in LaGuardia… plane apparently lost front landing gear."
Jared Bowers tweeted that the "plane went off the runway at #LaGuardia. Thankfully it doesn't look bad. I'm definitely delayed."
The FAA is investigating, while the NTSB is also sending an investigator.

Columbia County deputies arrested an Augusta man Tuesday afternoon in connection with a shooting that occurred early Monday morning at Westwood Club Apartments on Washington Road.
Trelon Baker, 20, was arrested at his residence, 73 Fox Trace, in Fox Den Apartments in Augusta, Capt. Steve Morris said.
Baker is being held at the Columbia County Detention Center and is being charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, commission of a crime with a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm during a commission of a crime.
No bond has been set.
Jamal Antwan Fielding, 25, said he was sitting on a bench behind the complex's clubhouse at about midnight when two men and two women approached him demanding cash and jewelry, Morris said.
After Fielding refused, Baker is accused of shooting him in the thigh.
After the shooting, Fielding ran to his apartment, where his girlfriend called 911. His injuries were non-life threatening.
Deputies are searching for the other three suspects.

If you want to learn more about the virtual and augmented reality craze that (many hope) is about to hit world, you may want to watch this livestream.
It's from the Vision VR/AR Summit, a Unity Technologies event taking place on February 10 in San Francisco and featuring speakers from notable VR companies like Valve, Sony, and Oculus. Even a member of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory will speak. Attending events like this can be expensive (or difficult to attend if you don't live in San Francisco), so Vision will broadcast the opening keynote and awards ceremony for its summit here. The keynote starts at 10 a.m. Pacific.
Tech adviser Digi-Capital predicts virtual and augmented reality will generate as much as $120 billion in revenue by 2020, and 2016 is a big year for the blossoming industry with headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive finally releasing. Of course, we still don't know exactly how a larger audience will respond to VR/AR, but summits like this can help like-minded developers learn from each other as they prepare to unleash their commercial products.
The keynote participators include:
- Alex McDowell, creative director, 5D Global Studio
- Clay Bavor, vice president of virtual reality, Google
- Gabe Newell, Valve
- Dr. Jeff Norris, mission operations innovation lead, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
- Joachim Ante, chief technology officer of Unity Technologies
- John Riccitiello, chief executive officer, Unity Technologies
- Palmer Luckey, founder, Oculus
- Dr. Richard Marks, director of the PlayStation Magic Lab, Sony Computer Entertainment
That's a pretty notable band of industry figures, so it should make for an interesting stream.
