Church Ministry Leaders
Church Council
Chair: Helena Hurst Secretary: Gloria Phinney Pastor: Rev. Kim Montenegro
The Church Council is a "Big-Picture" body that coordinates implementation of ministries that advance the mission of Fair Oaks United Methodist Church. Church Council provides leadership and management for the ministires of the church. Leadership is the visionary work that assesses where the congregation is, where God is calling it to be in the future, and what resources will be required to move from current reality into the desired future. Management is the detail work that must be accomplished on a daily basis to make the ministries effective. Any significant change in the church mission, its outreach activities, or in the roles, duties and activities of the church committees and church staff members must be discussed with and approved by the Church Council. The Church Council Members include the chairs of all the committees and ministries of the church, the lay leader, the pastor, the council chair and members at large. Council meetings are open to all members of the congregation.
Pastor Parish Relations Committee
Chair: Helena Hurst
The Staff Parish Relation Committee (SPRC) is the administrative unit in a local church where staff and congregational interests come together to focus on the mission of the church. The committee builds relationships among members of the congregation and staff in an effort to support the mission and goals of the church. The SPRC serves as the church's human resources department and is involved in all personnel activities, including hiring and disciplinary actions. It assesses job performance of the staff and pastor. It also confers and consults with the district superintendent.
The SPRC members also assume the role of spiritual leaders for both lay and clergy to bring them together as servants of God. In this role the committee supports candidates for licensed and ordained ministry.
Chair: Lance Bach
The Trustees of the church have two responsibilities:
1. Overseeing (not necessarily doing) maintenance and improvements of our buildings and ground, and
2. Evaluating any legal agreements or contracts and assessing our exposure to liability, as the legal officers of the church. Skills particularly needed for this team are:
Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development
Chair: Pastor Kim Montenegro Ex-officio: Lay Leader
The "Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development" was formerly referenced as the nominating committee or committee on lay leadership. This committee serves throughout the year to guide the Church Council on matters regarding the leadership of the congregation other than employed staff. This committee's work will recruit the gifted leaders for the lives of the church. These leaders will be representatives of the body of Christ in the faith community. Some will represent our congregation in the district and conference structures of The United Methodist Church as well.
Finance Committee
Chair: Cheryl Raney
The Finance Committee processes all money coming into the church and preschool(including activities such as fund raising and mission trips, and ensures that all outgoing money is monitored for accuracy and in the best interest of the church. The Committee, along with the Pastor, reviews reports on a weekly and annual basis and utilizes the information from those reports to prepare budgets and make spending recommendations to the Church Council. The Committee is also responsible for preparing annual giving statements for members and friends. People who assist the Finance team, but are not active on the Committee, include the bookkeeper, Sunday money counters, the Preschool Director, the Administrative Assistant and the Treasurer.

Endowment gifts are unique acts of love and faith.
They connect us to the legacy of those who have come before us, and help us to leave our own
legacy for the future.
For many, stewardship only means giving money to the church, but it is so much more. Stewardship encompasses using all of the gifts God gives to people so that all can work toward the best purpose of God's church. Some of those gifts include teaching, speaking, singing, organizing, or being a litergist in addition to the giving of offerings. Each year the Finance Committee conducts a Stewardship Campaign by obtaining pledges from members and friends in an effort to project income so that budgeted expenses can balance. Some people choose to tithe to the church (to give one-tenth of annual income) while others prayerfully ask and listen to consider their pledge.
"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit - fruit that wil last.
Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." John 15:16 NIV

With the explosion of popularity in podcasts, both narrative and nonfiction, radio-style performances are experiencing a surge not seen since the days before television.
This month, the Players on Air, Inc. will oversee a return to the glory days of over-the-air audio entertainment with their performance of "Miracle on 34th Street" live radio show, debuting this Saturday at Mount Airy's outdoor festival, with performances next week at Crosswind Church in Westminster.
The show is an audio adaptation of the classic 1947 film about a department store Santa who begins causing controversy when he declares himself the real Santa Claus.
During the performance, eight actors will join a pianist and sound effects artist to recreate the classic holiday film in the sonic space in much the same ways actors recorded live radio shows in the 1940s. During the performance, actors will be dressed in period costumes, take on several roles, speak into vintage microphones and help create sound effects with on-stage props.
Laura Wonsala, director of the show, said the live radio performance concept was something she's been working with for several years now.
"Some people might not know that a lot of radio shows back then had an audience hearing the story and watching the actors and seeing what they're doing when they're not doing dialog," Wonsala said. "It's a fun thing for audiences who can imagine that they're there in the studio seeing this production going on in front of them."
During the show, each performer will take on several roles, changing their voices and mannerisms to populate the 1940s New York setting. Rod Harrison, whose primary role is as the judge, said taking the multiple roles is a bit of a challenge but also the most fun part of the performance.
"You get to come up with the different types of voices you're going to use," Harrison said. "I take my script and color code it to make it easy to remember who I am at that point. It's really fun and takes some of the monotony out of it."
This is the second holiday radio show performed by the Players on Air, Inc., following last year's production of "It's a Wonderful Life." Wonsala said these performances are a great way to open up the season and raise funds for that year's musical productions.
The group has rehearsed about a half-dozen times over the past two month in preparation for the show. Wonsala said because the actors are able to read their lines from their scripts, the show requires a little less rehearsal time. Another boon to having the radio show as a smaller-scale production is the lack of set required for the final performance. Despite the somewhat minimalist visual aesthetic, the performance does not skimp on costuming or the creation of props.
Wonsala said for the performance they wanted to create sound effects in much the same manner as they were made for the original radio show performances. In order for the production to come together, they had to rig up old-time telephones, doorbells and place a full-sized door on stage for all of the comings and goings.
"It's a lot of fun to see people picking up and creating these sounds with the props we have on stage," Wonsala said. "It's a lot different seeing them do it with the actual objects and not just recreating them with their phones."
Harrison said he wasn't as familiar with the story of "Miracle on 34th Street" as he was "It's a Wonderful Life" but through the rehearsal process, he's developed a new appreciation for the Christmas classic.
"It's a great story and great message," Harrison said. "It's so fun to be a part of. I hope it's as fun to see."
If You Go
What: Miracle on 34th Street
When: 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 15 and Saturday, Dec. 16

Yes people, it's true. THAAP is back in action, and has send out another call for paper. This time the topic is "Potrait of Lahore: Capital city of Punjab"
Now I love Lahore as much as the next person, but don't you think that the topic is one that is going to leave us Karachite's out of the loophole this time. Well I still have a topic but I am not sure if it is worth it or not, or whether it would even fit the theme or not.
But I always hope for the best, and besides I would love another excuse to visit Lahore! I love that place!
P.S: The deadline for sending in the abstract is June 15th, 2011.

Ads are always designed to sell something but tracking whether or not they actually led to a sale can be tricky sometimes, especially when they are social media platforms.
And now Facebook, of all platforms, is about to change all that.
Now Facebook ads can include interactive maps of store locations to help shoppers find the physical store. In addition, advertisers will be able to track views to physical visits.
Snapchat, too is getting in the mix and added several executives earlier this May to manage their ad tracking partnership developments with Oracle and Google.

Singer and 'X Factor' judge Cheryl Cole has played down the extent of her ambitions in a new magazine interview.
Speaking to Now magazine, Cole said: "I haven't got an ultimate goal.
"I'm more than happy with… I'm shocked, almost, at what I've achieved so far.
"That was unimaginable. It's more than I could ever have hoped for or expected or wanted.
"Anything from now on is a bonus; it's special."
Regarding her career, Cole said she "wants to see what happens".
"I don't wanna be an actress," she said. "I don't wanna make it in Hollywood. I'm not like that."
Cole added: "Everything that's happened so far, even making the record, has been very organic and it's come naturally. I hope people enjoy the music. That's the ultimate goal."

If the season ended before Friday night's first pitch, both the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox would be in the playoffs. But there's still a lot of baseball left, including a huge series between the Blue Jays and Red Sox this weekend in Toronto.
The Red Sox entered Friday's contest one game clear of the Blue Jays in the American League East, while Toronto currently holds the top wild-card spot.

Kids are obsessed with dipping things. There is just something supremely satisfying to a small child to plunge a piece of food into something mushy and then eat it. If I had to make an educated guess, it's the messy factor. Kids love making a mess and yummy things make it way more fun. Lucky for you, this "Edamommy" dip is fun, tasty and healthy. Just make sure you wipe down the kid and table afterwards.

(Tip!) 3 Steps Formula to Instantly Distribute Content (2018)
Have you ever thought; how cool it would be to have a system in place which will do half of your content strategy implementation task?
What are the typical steps most agencies follow in order to implement their content strategy?
- User Research: figure out who are their potential consumers and what are their habits.
- Content Creation: Where you create content to explain your product or services.
- Content Distribution and Placement: Distribution of your content in order to get maximum exposure.
Everyone knows that most difficult stage is the third stage. Where you have to find good opportunities for your content placement. Then you have to reach out to the high authority bloggers and ask permission for publishing your content.
Step 1: Create Awesome and Engaging Content.
Yes, I know you must be thinking. What is new in that. Every tom, dick and harry can advise that. Creating good content is as important as creating a base framework for your house.
You cannot expect good performance from a ground framework until and unless it is robust enough to sustain minimal earthquakes. Similarly, you cannot expect performance from a piece of content until you create engaging and actionable content.
Here is a video explaining how you can create engaging content:
Some of my favourite content types are:
- Long articles around 1000 to 2000 words long.
- Info Graphics
- Slide Decks
- Videos
I usually prefer to use these 4 kinds of contents to implement my content strategy. Remember if you don't create engaging content. Nobody will share it.
Tip: Use SDPO Article Writer. CANVA, Medium and Slideshare to create and distribute your content.
Step 2: Reach out to bloggers and high authority websites.
The second step is to reach out to influential bloggers in your niche in order to get permission to publish on there blogs or websites. To do that you can follow different approaches:
- You can directly email bloggers in your niche and ask for a guest post.
- You can reach out to a marketing agency which will help you generate lots of traffic by influential outreach.
- You can post your content directly to platforms which allow users to publish there content with some moderation.
I personally like first and third approach. Not just because they are free. But also; because there is a lot of organic potential in this approach. I am not saying that if you hire an agency to do this for you it won't work. But if you do it yourself then you are 100% sure that you are not getting any spammy backlinks or irrelevant traffic.
Have a look at this email template below. I use this every time when I have to reach out to any influential blogger and I get around 80% response back.
Step 3: Distribute your content
What If I tell you there is a way to simplify it. What if there is a single place where you can search for your content space. And then reach out to many bloggers at once to get an agreement to hire a space.
Well now there is; iDistribute does it for you. Distributing content was never so easy before. We have gathered the best bloggers from the Internet.
Just register an account with Distribute Content and start searching for opportunities suitable for your content strategy.

"Specials" by Scott Westerfield. He's really good at the ending that concludes the story and yet leads to a desperate need to start the sequel. Most irritating. This one took me a little while to get into, but then I finished it in about two sittings. I found the ending satisfying, and don't really feel the burning desire to read book 4, which is fortunate, because we don't have it around the house.
"Under Heaven" by Guy Gavriel Kay. After all the YA stuff I've been reading, the first chapter of this book was harrowing. Ed told me the first chapter of a GGK book always is, except the first book of Fionavar. The second chapter just flew by.
I didn't really finish this book in June, but I felt ridiculous only having finished one book. That's lame, I guess.
I love how he manages foreshadowing, and how he ties up various characters with expository sections (i.e., Rain), and handles multiple POVs.

I have graduated from Penn State and now work for a contract research/eng organization. This means that the frequency of my postings would be a bit lower. Also, I plan to highlight issues of energy conservation at home/office in some of my posts, now that I am paying both electric and water charges in my new apartment. So long, and hope to write a proper post soon!

The other day I had my bandwidth upgraded. I started out with 15/15 mbit speeds and well they handled everything I needed it to. But the nerd/geek in me didn't feel this way. My awesome and amazing ISP Xmission started offering highly speeds as if 15/15 mb wasn't enough. As is I'm paying $50 a month. $40 for the connection and $10 for a subnet of 16 public IP addresses. Yeah the ip address are more because I can than anything else (I do use enough to not move back to a subnet of 8). So, back to my bandwidth. I'm now paying an extra $10 now $60 a month. My new bandwidth is 50/50 mb. For those that don't believe I have a picture.

The rolls and rolls of paper
Bind and flow with words inspired.
The quill runs itself smoothly on the dusty paper,
As it gushes knowledge and inspiration for people to ponder.
The evening sun slowly sets,
Painting daubs of orange and yellow clouds in the darkening sky.
A silent rustle of the leaves in the trees,
As they shift with the warm, blowing wind.
The movement of lips is ever so soft,
Whispering the words - eyes - scrolling down the page.
The ceiling fan slowly rotates,
Shifting and swirling the glowing dust specs against the sun,
As they slowly settle on the drying ink of the fading scrolls.
The bamboo curtains gently click as they move along with the wind.
The cracks between the poles reveal the purple and blue scenery - now almost black.
The lips form into a circular 'o' and puff out the candle.
A swirling string of gray smoke contrasts with the fiery pink sun,
Embracing the night like the flapping wings of an owl in flight.

Microsoft is planning new high-end - and higher-priced - versions of Windows and Office.
CEO Steve Ballmer told analysts yesterday that the company will offer an enterprise version of the forthcoming version of Windows, Windows Vista and a new version of Office called Office Premium, aimed at businesses.
Microsoft also is planning an Office Server product with a new premium client access licence that will include system management, security and e-mail services for high-end customers, Ballmer said.
These additions to Microsoft's portfolio will contribute to growth in revenue for Microsoft's "anchor products" he said. Despite the fact that some analysts believe that the market for these products and Microsoft's potential to innovate around them is stagnant, Ballmer said that is not the case.
"Most of you I don't think are thinking at all about the kinds of growth we can get out of this expansion of our anchor businesses," he said. "I believe in the future of Microsoft from an innovation perspective and from a growth perspective. I believe in that more than you do."
Ballmer also said Microsoft is planning server and tools offerings for the high-end technical computing market, which he acknowledged is "mostly a Linux world today". It hired Tony Hey as corporate VP for technical computing to lead this strategy, Ballmer said.
"We barely play in high-performance clusters, the big technical computing [environments] you find in automotive, oil and gas and government," he said. "We have a new vice president of technical computing to help drive and shape [this opportunity]."
Other areas where Microsoft expects to derive revenue growth over the next several years are in some of the most recent additions to its portfolio, such as search, entertainment and mobile offerings, Ballmer said.

|Doughboy - Grayson, Ky.
|Doughboy - Jamestown, Ky.
|Morehead, Ky.
I am particularly fond of the original term Armistice Day because of its historic context. The young Americans in the early part of the twentieth century crossed the ocean to fight the Germans in an era when crossing the ocean wasn't something you did for reasons other than immigration. Earlier this year, Frank Buckles of Missouri passed away - he was the last of the American doughboys from World War I.
|Pikeville, Ky.
In Kentucky, eight Viquesney statues are known to exist in the following towns: Grayson, Harlan, Jamestown, Liberty, Monticello, Morehead, Pikeville and Winchester. The first of these to be installed was the Monticello doughboy in January 1923; the last was in Jamestown 75 years ago today on Armistice Day, 1936.
Whatever its name, it is a day to thank the men and women in uniform who have served our country. And though many people only recognize today as being a day when schools, banks and government offices are closed, it is because our soldiers fought that we can enjoy our freedoms today.

About Us
For many decades, homes had only a single choice when it came to providing the vital hot water necessary for showering, cooking, and cleaning: a storage tank water heater. Although these systems remain good choices for many homes, there is now a different type of water heater that does not use a storage tank and offers some superb benefits. We encourage you to consider installation of a tankless water heater for your new or replacement water heater.
For more information about tankless water heaters, or to schedule installation and other services in Des Moines, call the professionals at Golden Rule Plumbing, Heating & Cooling today. We are happy to answer any questions you have about these efficient and helpful devices.

Call 515-986-4452 for tankless water heater in the Des Moines & Grimes Metro area or click here to contact us
How Does a Tankless Water Heater Work?
Standard storage water heaters apply a continual source of heat to a water tank to keep the water at the right temperature for whenever a hot water tap comes on. With a tankless system, the water is only heated when it is needed (which is why these systems are sometimes called "on–demand" water heaters). The water heater is attached to the fresh water plumbing and uses heating elements—either electric or gas—to heat the water in the pipes whenever a hot water tap or appliance that uses hot water requests it.
What are the Benefits of Choosing a Tankless Water Heater?
Here are some of the major advantages that a tankless system has over a storage tank water heater:
- Never run out of hot water: Since tankless water heaters heat up water only as it is required, there is no supply of water to deplete. That means you won't run out of hot water with a tankless water heater in your home. This is especially beneficial for large families that can place a strain on hot water during the mornings.
- Energy savings: Tankless water heaters do not need to constantly heat up a water tank, so they use far less energy than standard system. You will soon pay back the costs of initial installation with the money that a tankless system will save you.
- Longer lifespan: The lack of a tank and a constant energy supply makes tankless system longer–lived than their competition. This gives you additional time to enjoy the energy savings.
We Offer Tankless Water Heater Installation
You must have professionals install a tankless water heater. Only skilled plumbers can make sure that you have a system that is the right size to provide your household with sufficient heated water without needless energy waste. Our plumbers at Golden Rule Plumbing, Heating & Cooling will size the new system for you and connect it so there are no leaks or other problems.
We Offer Tankless Water Heater Repair
Tankless systems require fewer repairs than standard water heaters. But they may still encounter troubles that will require you call up the plumbers at Golden Rule Plumbing, Heating & Cooling in Des Moines, to handle the issues and get the system working again.
We Offer Tankless Water Heater Maintenance
As with any major plumbing system in a home, a tankless water heater must receive routine maintenance from specialists to keep it efficient and effective. Rely on our team to provide the annual maintenance to see that your tankless water heater continues to deliver you all of its great benefits.

Life Coaching is one of the fastest growing businesses these days and is growing more and more popular. It is not a new profession and has been used by people such as Tony Robbins, for example, as a personal development tool to help clients clarify and identify what they want to achieve personally, professionally and spiritually, then support and empower them to achieve the life they desire. However, life coaching today is certainly a profession that fits in beautifully and logically with the massive changes going on in the world and the negative impact on the financial, real-estate and job markets. The downturn in the economy with the resultant consequence leading to fewer and fewer jobs, and people uncertain about their career path has created desperation, depression and all those other negative things and words that go with it — it has affected virtually almost everything with a domino effect and long-term consequences.
There are many coaches who are experts in their field for the executive, businesses, relationships and careers, but there is another type of coach – the Spiritual Life Coach that utilizes the Law of Attraction and other techniques and / or specialties unique to them which help to assist their client towards not only personal growth and transformation, but an awakening of their spiritual self. With so many changes and uncertainties in people's lives today, people want real results. Well, the Calvary has arrived! More than ever, people want and need guidance and a new way of looking at their situation with a fresh pair of eyes and a fresh approach. Don't get me wrong, spiritual coaching is not new — many famous people like Louise Hay and Catherine Ponder for example have taught these principles – but it is coming back like a brand new band-aid on an old wound or scar. Sometimes in order to effectively make fundamental changes — old concepts and old ways which are no longer working — may mean including spiritual transformation and new thoughts in order to effectively change.
Who is Bambi Corso?
One such person I reached out to interview about this particular topic and her work is, Law of Attraction Life Coach and DreamTender Bambi Corso. Not only is Bambi a Spiritual Life Coach, but she is a practitioner of life and she says "I believes that each person possesses the power to change." Why I asked her? "Because I did it; I know I can help you do it too."
As her logo on her website says "Living With Purpose…On Purpose," Bambi is a person who knows how to live her life on purpose and with purpose because that is how she grew up. She is a woman who is extremely centered in her own spirituality because she understood at a very young age about spiritual matters – matters that take most people years to understand – if they ever do. It's not surprising that Bambi has such a strong spiritual foundation, because she grew up with a mother who had a strong spiritual core and who instilled this very same value in her children. As a family, her mother taught Bambi and her siblings about the medicinal and spiritual value of having herbs and a garden — so the whole family participated in planting a garden every year that provided healthy vegetables to put on the table and medicinal plants that her mother would use on the children for various maladies.
When I asked Bambi what led her to the creation of her life coaching business, she told me that "mentally at the age of 18, I was already preparing for my life's work." Incredibly, during the summer months, when most children were playing with their friends, chilling and basking in the warm summer sun, Bambi was spending her vacation studying and reading about spiritual matters. She even took the Course of Miracles courses with Tara Singh over two summer breaks. At the tender age of 15, she had a powerful dream that sparked something within her which eventually led her to become a DreamTender. However, when she had this dream, she immediately began to journal all of her dreams, because back then she told me, "there were hardly any books on the subject of dreams" so she had to rely on her own personal experiences with dreams and writing about them and making her own journals. This continual journaling gave her the tools to help people understand the mysteries of dreaming. This is Bambi's forte. She will help you understand how dreaming is a very personal experience, and show you how to make a conscious choice to connect with your higher self, through your dreams. Bambi says that "dreams tell us how we truly feel about something." She went on to say that "when you are working with the Law of Attraction, dreams come into play from the standpoint that they show you where you are emotionally about something happening in your life, therefore allowing you the ability to shift your vibration."
On becoming a Spiritual Life Coach
Bambi began to feel the tides of change coming her way in her traditional work life and in 2008 she took action by taking a year-long course with the Quantum Success Coaching Academy to become a Certified Law of Attraction coach. Just after she finished the course in September of 2009, and after almost 30 years in a management position in the corporate world, she got laid off. Ironically this change coincided with the ending of one career and landed her right into the path of a brand new life and brand new career – a career that she really cultivated from a very young age being so spiritually oriented. But this work did not appear until she was ready to accept the challenges. As they say, when the student is ready the teacher appears. I asked Bambi what was it that led her to the decision to becoming a Law of Attraction Coach — did she have a dream about it to guide her when she was in transition? She told me "No, I didn't have a dream. I went into a room and prayed — then I got an email about Christy Whitman's course on Law of Attraction coaching with the Quantum Success Coaching Academy." This goes to show you how the power of intention and manifestation is always at work when you consciously create it. However, she did have a critical dream during a Dream Tending Course. As soon as she had the dream, she took immediate action and the next day, she joined Toastmasters to get over her fear of public speaking. This showed Bambi on a personal level, "how dreams can impart wisdom that far exceed our daily, waking thoughts."
When I asked her to tell me why she chose the Law of Attraction for her as a coaching vehicle, Bambi responded by saying that "I had known about the Law of Attraction well before I heard about Christy Whitman, but I wanted to really live the laws and practice deliberate manifestation. It's not about manifesting material things but about feeling good with the external circumstances." I then asked what is the most unique thing about coaching for you? Her response was "I love coaching and being a conduit between a person and helping them access their inner wisdom." I asked her what is the next stage for her in her coaching business and Bambi has a book project that is in the works which she started several years ago that she is currently and actively working on.
It was a pleasure to interview Bambi Corso! She is woman who is deeply spiritual and committed to the well-being of all those she comes in contact with. She is also involved in everything indigenous – just go to her website and look at the logo she created. It is one that shows all the elements of life in relationship to nature and animals. In addition, I actually had a recent coaching session with her. Even though I am a coach myself, all good coaches need a coach. I chose Bambi because she is in alignment with me on many core values spiritually and also I am a big believer in dreams, so her style and expertise matched me. Her work was very impressive and she delivered the goods. She is the type of coach who can tune into your situation because she is gifted with much insight and wisdom. Her approach and technique was very effective and I have felt the transformational effects working in my life since our session together. I am completely impressed with her style, delivery and her passion for what she does. She is one of the best coaches I have ever worked with.

Two completely different ways have emerged for using Rails as the back end to a rich client-side JavaScript application.
* The 37Signals "Russian Doll" approach, where the server generally returns HTML to the client. This approach uses aggressive caching and a little bit of JavaScript glue to keep the application fast.
* The "Rails API" approach, where the server generally returns JSON to the client, and a JavaScript MVC framework handles the actual display.
Which of these will work for you?

It was a chilly day 3 months ago. I had a warm coat, but the wind occasionally kicked up, making me wish I had one more layer on. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, but I was ushered into a fenced off area and told, "You have 30 seconds to decide what you're taking. You can pick 5 things. GO!" The small group of us searched through our "possessions". What would travel well? What was a necessity? What had value that I could sell and also conceal? Cell phone? Medication? Passports? Money? Water? Food? Blankets? Coats? I snatched up things with as much discernment that 30 seconds provided.
"Time's up."
It was time to flee my home and leave behind everything I wasn't already holding. A small group of us hiked to the boat that we hoped with usher us away from danger. We'd have to pay for our passage in this crude powerboat. There goes my money. We had gas and questionable life jackets, but no pilot. Our guide just pointed across the vast emptiness. How long would we be on the water? Would my coat keep warm from the gust of wind across the open sea? What about once it got wet? The Bible is right. "How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!" (Matt 24:19) We don't even need to wait that long to have those thoughts. I am grateful our entire party consisted of adults. How much harder it would be with children. I could not imagine what kind of fear is needed to motivate a parent to bring a child on such a dangerous journey. Strike that. Yes, I do. Sometimes the unknown is better than the known.
When our boat finally reached the other side safely, there were grateful tears. We'd all heard the tales of boats who were not so fortunate. Between the elements, the patrol boats sent to turn travelers back, and the drowning, the numbers of those making it to the other side were dwindling. Where we landed was still on our side of the national borderline. Decisions needed to be made. We weren't safe yet, but we were still citizens. Once we crossed the line, our status would officially change from internally displaced persons to refugees. On the one side we still had some legal protection, if one could trust the government to ensure those rights. But once we stepped across the line, all legal protection evaporated. We were at the mercy of hostile host nations, UN laws (if they could be enforced), and NGOs. We crossed.
The first camp we arrived at wasn't all that bad. I mean, it wasn't great, but there was food and water. There was some shelter, and there was rest. We'd been traveling for so long that our supplies from home had long been depleted. Here there was a market, though the prices were inflated, and we had little to bargain with. I traded away some more of my scanty possessions. We could even charge our phones, even though the chances of using them now that we crossed the boarder were minimal. It's been a long time since we'd heard from family. The phone gave me some hope. At least it held their numbers.
It wouldn't be long before the novelty of rest wore off. The aid workers were doing their best to help, but sanitation was remedial and the tents were so close to each other. We were crowded into shelters with strangers, packed like sardines, sleeping on mats, sharing a single pot to cook our allotted food. We prayed for dry weather to air our things out. I knew that I would likely be moved to a new camp. I wasn't sure where that would be, but I felt the need to keep moving.
The group that I traveled with approached a more permanent camp (oxymoron, I know) with some joy. This was an MSF camp and it had doctors. Praise God! How long had it been since my medication had run out. Maybe I could get some help? There was some fear though. The camp had seen cholera. Would there be an outbreak? Would we be safe? They were providing special food for those who were malnourished and vaccines and medicine to those who needed them. It was a mix of fear and hope. I think one of the moments of real hope I found was when they told me their were people we could talk to, mental health counselors who might help us process all that we had been through from the dangers in our homeland to the struggle on our journey that had led us this far.
This far. Where were we now? Was this home? How long would we be here? Would this ever become home? How long before it would be safe to go home again? Would it ever be safe? Would this tent commune be safe? Would there be jobs or school? How many of us would never make the return trip? Should I apply for relocation? Would that be giving up on my dreams of going home again? Would I make it through the years of living this way to make it through the process? Where would I go? Would I be able to speak the language? Would the people welcome me? I have so many questions, worries, fears.
And then it was done. 60 minutes later, our group was ushered towards the exit. Our tour of "Forced From Home" was over. I got to go home to my warm house. My friend, Cat, and I walked back across Independence Plaza with Independence Hall and the Philly skyline in the background. Freedom. Safety. These are things we so often take for granted. No longer.

Highly Commended!
We're delighted to announce that 'Brenda's Easy-to-swallow Cookbook' won the 'Highly Commended' prize, in the best charitable initiative category, at the Pfizer Excellence in Oncology Awards 2010.
Dr Vinod Joshi, the founder of the Mouth Cancer Foundation says "Brenda's Easy to Swallow Cookbook has already enhanced the lives of hundreds of head and neck cancer patients and survivors. The recipes offer a varied, appetizing and nutritional diet. Working with the Brady family to carry on Brenda's legacy has been a real privilege; we are thrilled and honoured to receive such a widely recognised award."
Brenda's husband John, of Consilience Media, says: "We carried on Brenda's work to get the book published partly to give us a goal to achieve but also to mark the wonderful contribution Brenda made to the lives of people who knew her. To win an award for Brenda's book is fantastic. We only wish she was here to receive the award for all her efforts. We hope the sales of the book will continue to add to the £15,000 Brenda raised for the Mouth Cancer Foundation."
Maggie dalton permalinkAugust 30, 2012 2:19 pm
What a great Idea.. I will definately purchase this book. My husband is a survivor of throat cancer and the journey has been incredibly tough – not least because of the difficulty of finding interesting and easy to eat food recipies – I thank Brenda and her husband for their wonderful contribution to help mouth cancer patients.

text: To everyone, just finished after the floating eyebrow is not unnatural, just finished eyebrows than you usually painted eyebrows but also many natural, many guests just floating eyebrow after the first feeling is like a long eyebrows a lot of root, looks lifelike and natural, because of the color of milk, can achieve real-time real-time color restoration effect. The effect of floating eyebrow only in the epidermis, so do not bleed not a large swelling, after coating repair will be more natural. Later the scab is only a small part of the translucent skin, has no influence on the life and work will not! Unlike the traditional tattoo method, wound, unable to achieve a quick fix, it will fall off scab, a large, unable to retain lines caused by stiff heavy natural eyebrow line, showing patchy situation. In simple terms, as above two caterpillar stick in your eyes, dark and thick, forming a pair of irregulary eyebrows, causing inconvenience to go out to work, and cause mental injuries.

So you walk into a neighborhood store to spend some of your hard-earned money, if you're fortunate enough to have a job. You're there to buy designer clothing, athletic shoes, jewelry and…drug paraphernalia. The store opened in early 2012. Get your jewelry and drug paraphernalia right here – one stop shopping. What you don't know is the store is a total BATF "storefront sting" operation. The agents behind the counter are there to buy drugs and guns from felons. Few felons were interested in taking their business to "Fearless Distributing." The store shutdown after 10 months, leaving the landlord with a boatload of unpaid utility bills and damage to his property. Apparently BATF officers don't know how to flush a toilet, but they do know how to get an M-4 fully automatice .223 Caliber Machine Gun lost on the streets, while blowing off your taxpayer dollars. Get this: a suspect hid the M-4 under his bed, was arrested, refused to talk, and was released. How did they know it was under his bed?
When the 10-month operation was shut down after the burglary, agents and Milwaukee police officers who participated in the sting cleared out the store but left behind a sensitive document that listed names, vehicles and phone numbers of undercover agents.
And the agency remains locked in a battle with the building's owner, who says he is owed about $15,000 because of utility bills, holes in the walls, broken doors and damage from an overflowing toilet.
The sting resulted in charges being filed against about 30 people, most for low-level drug sales and gun possession counts. But agents had the wrong person in at least three cases. In one, they charged a man who was in prison – as a result of an earlier ATF case – at the time agents said he was selling drugs to them.Source: Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel
Citizens, maybe shady, maybe not, sold guns to Fearless Distributing, receiving top dollar (your top tax dollar):
ATF agents were paying top dollar for the guns, court documents show. For instance, Vance Fields sold a Smith & Wesson .40 caliber handgun to agents at Fearless in September for $1,250, according the criminal complaint. That model has sold for roughly $400 to $700 in online auctions recently.
In one case, Brandon Gladney sold more than 30 guns to ATF agents, including some that he and Courvoisie Bryant bought at Gander Mountain, according to court documents. Bryant is charged in federal court with being a straw buyer – someone who purchases firearms for another person who is prohibited from having them.
Daniel Stiller, head of the federal defender's service in Milwaukee, said such undercover operations are rare. The case involving Gladney and Bryant suggested to him that those defendants weren't major criminals given they got guns from a store, not the street.
"I have to guess a true criminal on the streets of Milwaukee has the ability to obtain a firearm when needed from something other than a store," Stiller said.
Along with the M-4 .223-caliber fully automatic rifle stolen from an agent's vehicle was a Smith & Wesson 9mm handgun and a Sig Sauer .40-caliber pistol. The M-4 and the Smith & Wesson haven't been found, although the article says a "suspect" hid it under his bed. The suspect was questioned, "refused to talk" and was released. How does anyone know the M-4 was hidden under bed??? The suspect name was not revealed in the JSOnline article. Somewhere there's an M-4 machine gun on the loose. Is this Fast and Furious II? Is there another victim like Brian Terry yet to report?
The Sig Sauer was sold back to Fearless Distributing the day after the theft by Marquise Jones for $1,400.00. Jones wasn't arrested for two months, and when he was, then not for the theft from the BATF vehicle, or at least not named in the theft. The whole thing reads like the Keystone Cops.

My Story
Sharna Florence...
An active entrepreneur; mom of 4; fitness nut; food connoisseur; skincare & cosmetic freak; music crazed; shopaholic; lover of animals; passionate about helping others; entertainment promoter; fashion designer; show producer; author; speaker; and want to do so much more while I can!!
I grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Danced as a young girl, evolved into teaching fitness in my early teens. Moved to Toronto to study Fashion Design, kept teaching fitness to stay in shape, but started certifying in many genres in the fitness industry, enjoying seeing people benefit from my passion.
Fashion was exciting! I moved around in that industry from magazine photo shoot assistant, to in-store promo, to fashion show production, to mens' wear buyer. It was something I just loved, but then started a family in my late 20's, and decided my children were more important than the career. I went back to teaching more fitness classes around the family's schedule. Over the years, as my family grew – to 4 amazing kids, my interests expanded and I certified in many areas, such as Yoga, Boxing, Cycle, Pilates, Weight Training, Tai Chi, and many more that don't even exist anymore!
In the early 2000's I certified in Holistic Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching under Paul Chek in San Diego. I learned so much about living healthy, and I wanted to change the world! It was certainly an uphill climb, as my seminars went over very well, but some looked at me like I had 3 heads, because the information about chemicals and pesticides in our food, and that it was linked to disease, was a such new concept then….and now, it's widely known!!
Now, of course, living healthy lifestyles are commonplace, I am so grateful that I chose to learn this information when I did, and that my children had a healthy start fairly early in their lives. PREVENTION in our food choices was my focus! I also decided to dive deep into other aspects of health – the fitness side. I suffered with so many achy body parts, injuries and pain, but I used to think it was just overuse from teaching classes. I began to study and apply many techniques for PREVENTION in FITNESS MOVEMENTS!! Researching about corrective movements, and how we recruit our bodies day to day for "NORMAL" movements, became my obsession. It was something I was so passionate about, that I started explaining new ways of doing regular exercises, back to basics. I was focused on PROPER FORM, SLOWER SPEED, CORRECT POSTURE to AVOID INJURIES!! Something started happening…….an extraordinary number of class participants began to experience LESS PAIN! They told me that my simple, easy-to-understand explanations made sense, and they could easily connect to their bodies in a way they hadn't in all the years they'd been exercising.
In my mind, I was just doing 'my thing', but in their experience, many people felt their bodies awakening to strength, better posture, and LESS PAIN! Even some that abstained from surgeries!! So many people even told me that my words stuck with them OUTSIDE THE GYM in their daily routines! They found themselves REMEMBERING to sit and walk with more attention to their posture, and in doing so, their core strength improved, resulting in less back and neck pain!
So after years of being asked, I finally put my spoken words into print, out of my head and mouth, into a book / guide in hopes of reaching and helping millions. Please share this information with all the people in your life. We are always learning, growing and improving, even tiny tweaks can make a HUGE DIFFERENCE! To your health!!

text: Did I happen to drive by anyone on this forum last weekend? My daughter and I were leaving the carpark of Stanley plaza between 3 or 4 in the afternoon and we saw a beautiful bright orange roadster waiting in line to get into the carpark. We got really excited but couldn't waive because we passed it before we realized it was a tesla. It looked like a tesla then I peaked in the review mirror and saw no exhaust pipe and we confirmed it was a roadster!!
