The Axial AX10 Scorpion
The Axial AX10 Scorpion 1/10, 4WD Electric, R/C Rock Crawler ARTR (Almost Ready-to-Run). Just add your choice of electronics, and you'll be able to hit the rocks in shorter time than having to build your entire crawler.
The ARTR was designed from the ground up, and every detail was thought through to provide a competition level base kit to work with. Previously the only way to build a competition capable rock crawler was to buy bits and pieces of several different kits here'n'there. This long and sometimes frustrating process could take as long as several months just to get the right parts together before you could even start the build. Now you can get a factory built rolling chassis, and within approximately an hours build-time you'll be able to hit the rocks with your competition ready AX10 Scorpion rock crawler.
The axles have been designed with many features that are not available from other products on the market everything from the axle strength, pinion angle, caster, and ground clearance were taken into consideration when designing these axles. The result is a far superior axle that will stand-up to some severe punishment. To ensure added longevity from the start a hi-tolerance sintered diff locker is included along with hardened drive shafts.

ScrambleScoop Golf Ball Retriever Allows For Quick Pick-Up On The Go www.scramblescoop.com (St. Charles, Missouri) " It is being called the first-ever "drive-by" golf ball retriever. The ScrambleScoop allows any golfer to easily scoop up grounded golf balls while in a moving cart -- without bending, leaning or stretching. Originally designed for use in golf scrambles or "best ball" games, the ScrambleScoop is proving popular for any golf outing." How Does ScrambleScoop Work? For many people, young and aging
alike, bending over can be difficult. The ScrambleScoop
reduces back, hip and knee strain caused by bending and
squatting. The ScrambleScoop sports an aluminum
rustproof shaft and ScrambleScoop inventor Betty Bucher created the product to find a solution to a problem that many golfers experience. "I've played many golf scramble games and when I leaned from the cart and nearly fell out trying to pick up the ball, I knew there had to be a better way," she says.The ScrambleScoop is also effective in speeding up golf play. "It used to be time consuming and exhausting to keep stopping the cart to pick up the balls. Not anymore." The patented product is also proving
handy for picking up things in the yard The ScrambleScoop sells for $16.95 and is available at www.ScrambleScoop.com |
Yesterday,
I had the great honor to have
lunch with two survivors of the
attack on Pearl Harbor. One
man, 97 years old, was in the
Army Air Corps, flying a B-17
into Pearl that day, and the
other, 93 years old, was in the
Navy and aboard the USS West
Virginia. They were able to
tell some wonderful stories of
tragedy and heroism.
Today, Dec 7th , I am privileged
to take part in the 70th
anniversary remembrance, and
help lay a wreath at the anchor
of the USS Arizona at the
Arizona State Capital building.
Please remember all those who
fought and died both during this
attack, but during all of World
War II. We are losing these
brave men and women at an
alarming rate and we should
never forget what they went
through.
For those who forget history,
they're bound to repeat it.
Just look at September 11, 2001.
As always, when you see a
veteran thank them for their
service. Freedom isn't free!
God bless America!

Hospice of the Valley
The city of Phoenix, in an apparently arbitrary move and without formal legal process, has forced CBS Outdoors to tear down 50 illuminated bus-shelter billboards under contract to promote gun safety training for children and their parents.
The posters were placed by TrainMeAZ.com, a commercial joint-educational effort of the firearms industry in Arizona, and had been up all over the Phoenix metro area for a little over one week before the city acted.
“The Phoenix attorney’s office claimed these were public service announcements, and those are banned,” said Alan Korwin, manager of the TrainMeAZ campaign and the Publisher at Bloomfield Press, a sponsor of the program. “It’s a bogus excuse — and they know full well we’re an LLC and not a non-profit. The commercial sponsors, shooting ranges and trainers on the website expect to attract customers. The ads are aimed at parents, so they can teach gun safety and the values of marksmanship to their kids,” he said. “We’re promoting a culture of marksmanship, where everyone learns to shoot and understands gun safety.”
Assistant Phoenix city attorney Ted Mariscal claimed in a conference call with Mr. Korwin and CBS Outdoor that the billboards weren’t commercial enough, the message was too vague, and then demanded the message be changed to his satisfaction. When pressed for a definition of what is either sufficiently commercial or what defines a public service ad he declined to respond, referring instead to a 12-year-old 9th Circuit court case concerning a religious group (Children of the Rosary) and abortion ads. CBS is designing new art to please the city, but without guidelines of what’s acceptable, there’s no way to predict the result, and the TrainMeAZ campaign isn’t exactly keen on this approach.
Mariscal offered to provide the case he says matters, and the lease agreement he says allows the city to remove the ads. The case is now under review. No lease agreement has been provided, and the city apparently has no definitions in place, apparently leaving Mr. Mariscal to act on his own unfettered accord. Nothing in the city’s advertising guidelines, provided by Mr. Mariscal, appear to justify the censored ads.
In the meanwhile, TrainMeAZ is losing more than 800,000 impressions per day it had been receiving through this Phase One of the campaign. A bulletin billboard with a similar message and goal remains up on Interstate 17, through another company. It gets about 135,000 eyes driving by daily (facing southbound traffic near Peoria exit). Several outdoor advertisers have contacted TrainMeAZ in an effort to pick up the lost business for themselves. CBS has offered a slate of city billboards to replace the messages the city has banned.
“Mariscal has offered to approve some other advertisements to replace the ones we designed at great expense and want,” Korwin said. “We’ll be reasonable and look, but we don’t exactly want the city of Phoenix writing our advertisements for us. If anything is absolutely an affront to free speech and the First Amendment, there it is on a platter. Who do these people think they are?”
Government should stay out of the way of businesses trying to make it in these tough economic times, or in any times. Instead, government has become one of the biggest obstacles we face, Korwin noted. It’s bad enough Phoenix has attacked our free speech, but now they’re messing with our Second Amendment rights, and right before an election too. People who support this ought to be removed from office and punished for such malfeasance.
Legislators aware of the problem have expressed outrage at the censorship effort by the city, and are preparing a plan of action. More news will follow soon.
The program is an outgrowth of the Constitutional Carry law, effective in July this year, that frees all law abiding adults in Arizona to discreetly carry firearms. With the audience expanding from 2% of the public willing to apply and pay for a government permission slip to carry, to 50% of the public that possesses firearms, private industry figured this 25-fold increase in potential market was worth attracting.
For This Father and Son,
Comedy is a Family Business
Making a living as
professional comedians was never
something that either man expected to
do. Rex Havens worked as a corporate
lawyer for fifteen years before diving
into the world of stand-up comedy at the
unlikely age of 37, while his son Jeff
first took the stage at the age of 25
while working as a freelance writer and
tutor.
“I always loved comedy simply for the
pure sound of laughter,” said Rex. “I
started going to open mikes at comedy
clubs and the addiction took over. Five
years later, I quit my day job and have
made my living in comedy ever since.”
“I saw Dad perform plenty of times
growing up,” said Jeff, “but I never
thought of doing it myself. I was going
to be a high school teacher forever. I
fell into comedy by accident; initially
it was just a way to entertain myself on
a Tuesday night, but once I decided to
give it a real shot, having my father as
a role model was invaluable.”
The majority of a comedian’s working
life is spent off-stage: writing
material, driving to shows, and
maintaining a sprawling network of
clubs, bookers, speakers’ bureaus,
cruise ship directors, college
activities planners, theater owners,
churches, and more.
“There are many ways a stand-up comedian
can make a living without fame or HBO
specials,” said Rex. “Everyone starts
in comedy clubs, but after that you can
graduate to all manner of things. It’s
an odd life, but you’re always off to
new places to meet new people, and that
never gets old to me. I gave the office
life fifteen years and that was enough
to know it wasn’t a good fit. Now I
travel the world in search of that next
great audience willing to share a room
full of laughter and fun.”
“One of the most common questions you
get asked after a performance is, ‘What
is your other job?’” says Jeff. “Most
people don’t think it’s possible to make
a living working as a comedian unless
you’ve been on television, and even that
is no guarantee, but we have both been
very fortunate to have a lot of
discipline. You have to approach comedy
like any other job and the fact that we
do, I think, is the reason that Dad has
been able to make a career out of it for
the past twenty years and I’ve been able
to do so for the past five.”
The family connection doesn’t stop
there. Adam Havens, Jeff’s younger
brother, helps both men with web design,
graphics, print media, imaging, and
audio/video production.
“I’m still holding out hope for my
youngest brother, Matt,” says Jeff.
“He’s got a good job right now, but you
never know. I think comedy might just
be in the blood.”
CORZO’s
Evolutionary Margarita
With Cinco De Mayo already
upon us, it’s time to start thinking Margaritas. Still the
most popular mixed drink in the United States, the recipe
has been around for years and continues to attract drinkers
– especially on this famed Mexican holiday. This year,
serve up the CORZO’s Evolutionary Margarita –
an inspired version of the Margarita created by renowned New
York Mixologist Jonathan Pogash.
The cocktail incorporates new and unusual cocktail trends into the foundation of America’s favorite cocktail. “The use of savory ingredients in this drink is one of my favorite trends that we’re currently seeing a lot of at the bar,” says Pogash. Blue agave nectar and muddled fresh peppers add that savory touch and the silky taste of CORZO Reposado, made with twice the agave and a unique triple the distillation process, gives the drink a modern twist. Pogash also notes that “the cocktail tastes best when finished off with a hard shake and pourer over ice.” Add a festive garnish using a green lime wheel and red pepper – both colors from the Mexican flag.
Evolutionary CORZO Margarita
2 parts Corzo Reposado Tequila
1/2 part Grand Marnier
½ parts agave nectar
3/4 parts fresh lime juice
6-8 small chunks of your choice of pepper (yellow, red, or orange)
Process: In a mixing glass, muddle the pepper in the agave nectar and lime juice. Then add remaining ingredients and shake well with ice. Strain over ice into rocks glass.
Garnish: pepper “flag” and lime “bow-tie” & optional salt-rim.
Take a
wildflower trail
ride In Cave Creek
CAVE CREEK
— The wildflower season is upon us, and what better
way to experience its glory than on horseback? “You
can really enjoy the wildflowers this way,” said Deb
Bitton, co-owner of Cave Creek Trail Rides, based at
the Cave Creek Regional Park, just north of Carefree
Highway in Cave Creek. “A trail ride gives you a
chance to get out, enjoy the desert, and let the
horses watch where they step.” Wildflowers
typically begin blooming in early- to mid-March.
“Based on the rains we got this winter, we should see an above-average wildflower display this year – possibly even spectacular!” said Amy Ford, the park’s supervisor.
Along the trail, guides inform riders about the Sonoran Desert landscape. “You’ll get up close and personal with the saguaro cactus,” said Bitton. “We talk about how they grow, when they get their first arms, their life spans, what makes them unique and what makes some have the deformities they have.”
The rides - Cave Creek Trail Rides offers one- and one and a half-hour “Wildflower Rides.” The longer ride offers two options: one with an elevation of 2,500 feet and the other, peaking at 2,000 feet. The higher trail offers Valley-wide views while the lower one gives a closer-up perspective. Both are expected to delight riders with bursts of color. “People from other places may think the desert is just a dry, colorless place. Here, they can realize that the desert is really alive,” said Bitton. “This is their chance to see it in vibrant color―golds, yellows and fuschias.”
You don’t have to be a skilled horseman to enjoy the event. Rides are open to all ages, six and up. Jeff and Deb Bitton’s 40-year experience translates to safe trail rides on well-trained horses.
“It was my six-year-old’s first time on a trail ride, and I have never seen him enjoy something so very much,” said Charlotte Moore of San Dimas, Calif. “He was so at peace and excited during the ride! Our guide Joe was also wonderful―very knowledgeable about the surroundings, the environment and history of the area, which made the beautiful and scenic ride so interesting.”
Trail rides can be scheduled throughout the day, any day of the week. Sunset rides return to the stables at dusk, taking best advantage of the radiant scenes.
“I found the ride to be one of the most beautiful and enjoyable I've ever taken,” said Kim Cofman-Bolourtchi of St. Louis, Mo. “Our guides were attentive and fun, and it was a great experience from beginning to end.”
While waiting for the trail ride to begin, guests can pet some of the 25 ride-ready horses and see how well-cared for they are. “We take great pride in our horses, our corral area and our employees,” said Bitton, “and we treat them like we would our own home and family.”
Cave Creek Trail Rides - Jeff and Deb Bitton began offering trail rides in Stanley, Idaho in 1969. They opened Cave Creek Trail Rides in 1999, creating a true Western experience just on the northern fringes of the Greater Phoenix area. Families, friends and neighbors, as well as corporate, school, church and civic groups can all have fun while learning about horses and spending quality time together. Cowboy and cowgirl boots, hats and chaps are available for those who want to dress the part. And toy guns along with lassos add to the photo opportunities.
“We’re in the memory-making business,” said Bitton. “It’s so great to see people having fun, getting on a horse, and enjoying the whole cowboy and cowgirl experience.”
More information - Cave Creek Trail Rides, located at 37019 N. 32nd St. Cave Creek, 85331, is open every day from Columbus Day weekend through the first weekend of May. Round-trip transportation can be scheduled through Pepper’s Private Car Service, 602-501-3328 or www.pepperscarservice.com . More information about Cave Creek Trail Rides is available at 623-742-6700 or www.cavecreektrailrides.com.
ARE YOU A WATER WASTER? Water-saving Tips to Help You Save and ‘Go Green’
Do you leave the water running while brushing your teeth? Washing your face? Although these routines might at first seem insignificant, water conservation is of growing concern. In fact, the U.S. General Accounting Office reports that at least 36 states are projecting water shortages between now and 2013.
“While consumers are interested in eco-friendlier lifestyles, many are unaware of the biggest ‘water wasters’ or how easily and affordably they can save water at home,” said Michael Schuster, president and founder of MJSI, Inc., an innovator and manufacturer of water conservation products.
A recent consumer poll* found that only 13 percent of adults believe toilet flushing uses the most water, when in fact, the American Waterworks Association says that toilets are by far the largest source of water consumption in the home.**
Schuster, a fourth generation plumber, recommends following these practical tips to help save water and money:
· Get Your Eco Fix(tures): In addition to shortening showers, save water by installing low-flow showerheads that restrict the flow to less than 2.5 gallons per minute. For example, GROHE WaterCare® showerheads and faucets save up to 30 percent of water, as compared to other standard showerheads.
· Fill It Up: Instead of running dishwashers or washing machines with just a few items, wait until you have full loads to maximize water use. Likewise, fill a pitcher of water to keep chilled in the refrigerator. You won’t waste tap water waiting for it to reach the desired cool, refreshing temperature.
· Green Your Throne: Reduce water use by up to 30 percent by installing the HydroRight™ Dual Flush Converter from MJSI, which allows less water to drain from the tank when flushing liquids and paper. Also try the HydroClean® Fill Valve which helps solve the two biggest reasons for water loss in toilets – incorrect calibration and undetected flapper leaks. The patented Mini-Valve™ enables easy adjustment of the water directed to the toilet bowl, and the TurbuJet™ signals leaky toilets with a gentle, audible “swoosh.”
· Landscape with a Greener Thumb: Reduce consumption outside of the home, too, by selecting native plants requiring less water and time for maintenance. Avoid evaporation by watering in the cool, morning hours and by surrounding vegetation with mulch, which helps hold moisture.
“As a plumber, I learned that water conservation begins at home,” said Schuster. “By following these practical tips, consumers can easily start preserving one of our greatest resources and significantly reduce their water and sewer bills.”

MJSI, Inc., headquartered in Shorewood, Ill., is the manufacturer of a portfolio of products that are devoted to water conservation and sound environmental plumbing. Recognized as toilet efficiency experts, MJSI’s innovation has expanded the plumbing market from repairs to green toilet improvement. The company’s products are available at home centers, hardware stores, plumbing distributors and on the Internet.

The Sedona Marathon is proud to be working with Crowdrise, a website dedicated to online fundraising, event fundraising, volunteering, and having the most fun in the world while doing it.
In 2009, Edward Norton, Shauna Robertson and Robert and Jeff Wolfe created Crowdrise after an experiment with what turned out to be a unique and successful campaign to raise money for the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust during the New York City Marathon. They raised $1.2 million in less than 8 weeks, much of it from small donors who gave more than once, making it one of the top fundraising success stories of the marathon.
Crowdrise takes that experiment to a whole new level: an innovative web platform where individuals use the best tools and technology to raise money for causes they care about, while competing in fun and quirky challenges with unique incentives and prizes.
Thousands of charitable organizations make Crowdrise their home for starting events, team fundraisers, and turning their base of grassroots supporters into a base of grassroots fundraisers. More about Sedona Marathon Charities and Crowdrise.

12th Annual Baby
Diaper Drive collects diapers, wipes for babies/toddlers in
need until January 30, 2011
(PHOENIX, Ariz.) – From now until January 30, 2011, Homeward Bound, Arizona’s largest transitional housing provider serving homeless, and domestic violence families throughout Maricopa County, is holding their 12th Annual Baby Diaper Drive in order to collect diapers and baby wipes for families in need. “The power of one person giving one diaper or one dollar is tremendous,” said Eileen Rogers, founder of the drive and president of Allegra Marketing & Print. “The diaper is a tangible connection to the families we are trying to help.

The 2010 Heart to Heart Pet-a-Rama will
be Sunday, February 14 from 9 am - 2 pm.
Steele Indian School Park
Begin Valentine's Day with your Best
Friend!!
Most of
us have been together from the beginning
and I hope we can all see the Pet-a-Rama
through its
final year. Truth be told,
it's a ton of hard work and we're all
getting older and aren't quite as fit as
we were six years ago when we started.
Having said that,
I want to make it official-the 2010
Heart to Heart Pet-a-Rama will be the
FINAL
Pet-a-Rama
At the end of the event, we'll give away
or give back all the "hardscape"
equipment and only drive away with the
rented stuff.
It's
been an amazing ride and I'll never be
able to adequately communicate my
appreciation or what a blessing your
support of me and Carmel has been.
Our cause is noble and I truly believe
the H2H and therefore you will be a part
of finding a way to prevent valve
disease in our pets and fellow
humans. The H2H lab at CSU has made such
great strides that the American Heart
Association has given the Animal Heart
Center a huge grant that will see the
lab into its future...but we will always
know where it began!
In preparation of this finality, we're
making a few changes for the 2010 H2H:
Medical Reclamation Open HouseAs part of our "Green" mission, The 3000 Club is partners with Southwest Medical Aid to help reclaim over 2 million dollars worth of medical equipment, supplies, accessories personal care items, vitamins, and educational materials for distribution to needy families in the US, Mexico, the Philippines, Haiti, Guatemala, and Honduras.

About Cystic Fibrosis FoundationThe Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Arizona, headquartered in Phoenix, Ariz., a non-profit donor-supported organization, is dedicated to assuring the development of the means to cure and control cystic fibrosis and to improving the quality of life for those with the disease. The Foundation is the leading organization in the United States devoted to cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is the #1 life shortening disease of children and young adults in the U.S. It is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. While today there exists no cure, an arsenal of remedies have been produced to help treat the disease, dramatically extending the life expectancy of people living with cf. For more information about Cystic Fibrosis Foundation visit www.cff.org.
(PHOENIX) February 4, 2009: The Arizona Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is hosting its fourth annual Women Against MS Luncheon on Wednesday, April 29, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the brand new Montelucia Resort and Spa. Guests will share the joys of a fine lunch while watching an inspirational program emceed by Tara Hitchcock of “Good Morning Arizona”, and featuring keynote speaker Martha Madison. Martha is an actress, formerly on “Days of Our Lives” and is also an MS Caregiver. She will share her inspirational story with hundreds of attendees.
The Women Against MS Luncheon creates a motivational and empowering environment for people to gather, learn about MS, and raise funds for the National MS Society. A live drawing will allow attendees to purchase tickets for their chance to win one of five prize packages, each valued at over $500.
While men are certainly welcome to attend, it is women who founded this important event and who inspire each other to move it forward. Two thirds of the people living with MS are women, and women often are the care providers for everyone else. Last year the Women Against MS Luncheon raised nearly $90,000 to provide programs for people living with MS and fund research towards the cure and treatment of this chronic disease of the central nervous system.
Sponsorships, tables of 10 for families or corporations and individual tickets for the event are available for purchase, a portion of which is tax-deductible. To buy tickets or for more information, visit http://aza.nationalMSsociety.org or call the Arizona Chapter at 480-968-2488.
About Multiple SclerosisMultiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body and stops people from moving. Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S., and 2.5 million worldwide.
About the National Multiple Sclerosis Society MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn’t. We help each person address the challenges of living with MS through our 50 state network of chapters. We fund more MS research, provide more services to people with MS, offer more professional education and further more advocacy efforts than any other MS organization in the world. The Society is dedicated to achieving a world free of MS. We are people who want to do something about MS now. Join the movement at http://aza.nationalmssociety.org.
Studies show that early and ongoing treatment with an FDA-approved therapy can reduce future disease activity and improve quality of life for many people with multiple sclerosis. Talk to your health care professional and contact the National MS Society at http://nationalmssociety.org or 1-800-FIGHT-MS to learn about ways to help manage multiple sclerosis and about current research that may one day reveal a cure.

Women Against MS
By LeeAnn Sharpe
An invitation to attend the Women Against MS luncheon at the
Arizona Biltmore on Wednesday, April 23, 2008, filled an
otherwise dull day with an opportunity to learn about Multiple
Sclerosis and what progress has been made toward a cure or
treatment. Even though I have a sister-in-law in California with
this disease, I really knew very little about MS.
The brochure said, “An afternoon of inspiration, motivation and empowerment as we move towards a world free of MS.” Can the world be free of MS?
The first thing I learned about MS is that two thirds of it’s victims are women. And most look like the picture of health. Very few used canes or walkers or wheelchairs. But the terrible affects of the disease are still there and often make life very difficult.
Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body and stops people from moving. Featured keynote speaker Kristie Salerno Kent spoke of her experiences and how it’s hard for people to understand she has MS because she looks outwardly unaffected. She often hears, “You have MS? But you look so good.” Yet, it’s difficult to walk, she suffers pain, vision problems, and physical exhaustion is a constant problem.
A few years after Kristie received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Syracuse University, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She woke up one day unable to move her legs. It was a terrifying experience and with medication and therapy she can now walk. She decided that she was not going to give up her dreams of performing just because of her MS diagnosis. Kristie took on the role of an MS Lifelines Ambassador and travels the country speaking and singing for others who are affected by the disease. Now her performances are for a purpose and not just entertainment.
As a songwriter, Kristie writes from her
own experiences and many of her songs were created from pages of
her personal journal. Kristie's debut solo CD, "Believe" is a
heartfelt testimony of her determination to succeed despite
adversity. Her powerful and richly textured voice combined
with her honest lyrics and memorable melodies make you BELIEVE
that anything is possible.
You can
watch "The Show Must Go On",
a short video created by Kristie about her experience with MS.
This video was one of six nationwide to be featured in the
National MS Society Moving Forward Film Festival. It is
available on You Tube.
At my luncheon table, Sandra Behlkea, a nurse, has a son-in-law with MS. She wrote a cookbook to help non-profits raise funds though its sale. Her son-in-law is now symptom free, the result of medication, diet and exercise. This is a common thread I hear over and over again. Still there is no cure for MS.
Dr. Dean Wingerchuk, MD an Associate
Professor of Neurology at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine
spoke to the group of several hundred women gathered this
beautiful day. He made the point almost everyone knows someone
with MS, even though they may not realize it. In the research of
MS, two key areas of focus are the genetic aspect, which has
identified two key genes linked to the disease. This is a big
step forward toward learning why people get MS. Another is the
environmental factors
include lack
of Vitamin D. Even here in Arizona, where we have so much
sunshine, we block the sun and our access to the sun's vitamin D
that contribute to MS. He felt the next ten years of
research will lead to greater understanding. Right now the
medications for treatment of MS have progressed tremendously in
the last fifteen years. Research in MS is progressing at a
remarkable rate, with more potential therapies in the pipeline
than at any other time in history. This is all the result of
research funded by the National MS Society.
Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with
MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central
nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to
blindness and paralysis. Most people with MS are diagnosed
between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many
women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects
more than 400,000 people in the U.S., and 2.5 million worldwide.
Last year the Women Against MS luncheon raised nearly $70,000 to provide programs for people living with MS and fund research towards the cure and treatment of this chronic disease of the central nervous system. This year they certainly surpassed that figure… reports yet to come. There is no cure. Maybe someday.

Kent will speak to the hundreds of guests about her life with MS. She was diagnosed with MS in 1999, and after several years of denial, she decided that the word dreams may end with an M and an S but her dreams don't end because of her MS. She is now a singer/songwriter/producer and the CEO of her own production company. Her music is a heartfelt testimony of her determination to succeed despite adversity.

KANSAS' first public
statement appeared on their self-titled album in
1974, "From the beginning, we considered ourselves
and our music different and we hope we will always
remain so." Little did this legendary rock group
realize that back in the early 70's, what "seemed to
be different," was actually ahead of its time.

Maricopa County Sheriff
Joe Arpaio appointed rock legend Ted Nugent
deputy and was sworn in last summer in Arpaio’s
downtown Phoenix office. Nugent is known for his
conservative political views and defense of
hunting and gun ownership rights. He has served
on the board of directors of the National Rifle
Association and is a spokesman for the Drug
Abuse Resistance Education, National Field
Archery Association, Mothers Against Drunk
Driving and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
At 62, the veteran rocker’s no holds barred career spans five decades of multi-platinum hits and more than 30 million albums sold. Both as a solo artist and with the Amboy Dukes and Damn Yankees, Nugent has amassed a sizable list of well-known hits, including "Journey To The Center Of The Mind," "Stranglehold," "Free For All," "Dog Eat Dog," "Wango Tango," "Cat Scratch Fever," "Motor City Madhouse," cult classic “Fred Bear,” "High Enough” and “Love Grenade.” Hailing from Detroit, Nugent’s guitar talents and over-the-top onstage antics quickly earned young Ted the moniker of "Motor City Madman." Get your Nuge on! His fire-breathing intensity and the sound he wrings from his almighty Gibson Byrdland have placed him among the all-time greats of rock & roll. In addition to music, Nugent is a New York Times best-selling author of Ted, White and Blue: The Nugent Manifesto and his autobiography titled God, Guns, & Rock n' Roll. He heads up his own hunting camp, owns his own hunting supply store and sells his own beef jerky. LISTEN HERE |

Mr. Lucky -- Chris Isaak’s
stunning new masterpiece -- perfectly balances the
ecstasy of great romance with the agony of pure
heartbreak. Mr. Lucky offers passionate music that
feels decidedly lived-in. Like some rocking Sinatra
album for the 21st Century, Mr. Lucky is a song
cycle about the good luck we earn and the bad luck
we just can’t seem to shake. Right from its killer
opener -- the wonderfully tortured “Cheaters Town”
-- to the concluding and uplifting “Big, Wide
Wonderful World,” Isaak takes us all on a dark but
beautiful ride -- one you will likely recognize as
your own.
