			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is hard to believe that Easter and Fiesta is upon us WOW! when did it sneak up on us.</p>
<p>I look forward to Easter, Spending it with family and friends, enjoying the bar-b-ques and listening to the laughter of the children with excitement as they approach the Easter egg hunt, and the adults preparing for a fun relaxing day listening to music and some even dancing.</p>
<p>What I enjoy is seeing the grownups and kids chasing each other with cascarones to crack on each others head, even us grown ups behave like kids and that&#8217;s OK.</p>
<p>But what is most important to me is the real reason why we celebrate Easter, so before I go and join my family I look forward to starting my day by attending church service in the morning and Thanking God for his son, who gave his life for me.</p>
<p>The resurrection of Jesus Christ and knowing that he is everywhere I go, and feeling his presence with the Holy Spirit is what I find why it is important  to celebrate Easter Sunday.</p>
<p>I share this with you because I find it so important that you share it with your loved ones especially the younger generation who may not know the meaning of Easter Sunday.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t make it to Sunday church gather your family where ever you may be spending your beautiful sunday and hold hands and together give thanks to Jesus Christ for giving you what you have and another day here on earth to be able to enjoy your day.</p>
<p>The Blessings that he showers upon you are moments of celebration and this is how the Fun begins, it begins with him first.</p>
<p>Some of us may feel we have nothing to celebrate, we may have lost a loved one or don&#8217;t have anyone in our life, but rejoice is in your soul and you are here on earth breathing the air that he has provided you with.</p>
<p>We pray for those who have left us to be with our heavenly Father, they now know the true meaning of Easter and are celebrating it in the Heavens.</p>
<p>I am sure that those of us who may have given up something for Lent can hardly wait to get back what you have given up those 40 days.</p>
<p>Just be wise and don&#8217;t abuse it whatever it may be enjoy your Sunday with your Family and have Fun!</p>
<p>Fiesta is just around the corner, as I prepare for Royal appearances I also look forward to meeting wonderful people and enjoying the music of different bands and Mariachis, the Aroma of the different foods, some of the costumes, and Fiesta hats that people decorate. Not to mention the Parades, and Carnival. I am so proud to live in a city that is filled with excitement and a city that offers and shares the beauty of our Culture. Although some of us may say we are a beat of a different drum in reality we are all unique and the same in one form or another.</p>
<p>One thing I want to stress is Parents please look after your children and don&#8217;t lose sight of where they are.</p>
<p>To all of us adults please be responsible and stay out of trouble enjoy Fiesta! and remember to look after  each other and if you can not drive home &#8220;Please don&#8217;t do it&#8221;.</p>
<p>I want you to celebrate everyday giving thanks to our Father for your freedom and another day here on Earth.</p>
<p>So this Easter and Fiesta Enjoy the cracking of the Cascarones, and all the Fiesta Festivities going on around you spend it with your loved ones and friends.</p>
<p>In closing I want to say Goodbye and Rejoice with the Lord to our Dear Friend Max Ortiz who has left to celebrate eternal life with our Father Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>Max I will miss you dearly, but will always look up to you and the loving man you were to your beautiful wife Lupe, and all those who came to know you. We were Blessed to have you in our lives and my tears of sadness will fill like the river and turn to joy everytime I look up into the sky and see your smile and saying &#8220;Take Your Time I have All Day&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We Walk By Faith and not By Sight&#8221;</p>
<p>Brandy Lopez</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>If they Gossip to you &#8211; they will Gossip about you!</em> &#8211; Old Spanish proverb</p>
<p>Recently we received a phone call from a very concerned person who was just fed-up  by the Gossip and envy that circles around our community.</p>
<p>To hear that we happen to be the topic of this mess is sad, I have not been able to understand why it is that people who want to be a part of the community and portray themselves as business people can be so fake.</p>
<p>The way I see it is if you are true to your heart and yourself then be a good steward to God and others, there is no need for You to talk about others and to find ways to ruin ones reputation.</p>
<p>All you are doing in the long run is hurting yourself, your partners, you may not know who you may be gossiping too <span id="more-1098"></span>and they may not like what they hear and it just puts a bad taste and thoughts in ones mind.</p>
<p>I thank God for giving me the heart he has given me, yes we all have at some point been taken advantage of and hurt in one way or another but I never hold it against them I just pray for them and ask God to help me forgive them.</p>
<p>And when I happen to run into these people I hold my head up high and treat them with respect like I always have.</p>
<p>You will never hear me talk about anyone, unless I get asked I will find a way to cut the conversation short and move on.</p>
<p>I stay away from those who are negative and have nothing better to do but complain.</p>
<p>I sometimes find myself shying away from Facebook especially when you read others that post complaints about certain things or certain people, this to me is so high school not even then did I have time for that.</p>
<p>We work hard to get where we are at, and it is not about me, it is about what I can do to help make our community stronger and be better steward to others, especially the younger generation.</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s society times can be hard, but if we work together and get along we can built that bridge and those of us with great minds who only think about how to make our goals and dreams come true can accomplish what we have worked so hard for.</p>
<p>There should be no need to talk about others, what have they done to you, other than just befriend you.</p>
<p>Where does the jealousy and envy fit in all this and at what point does it stop?</p>
<p>Find happiness in yourself and look at all the great qualities that you have.</p>
<p>Respect yourself  first so that you may learn to respect others and not have to find a need to talk about them, especially when they have done nothing to you and for those that have shame on you.</p>
<p>I ask myself why do people behave in this manor, I take every day one day at a time I am happy for those that continue to succeed, and for those that want to succeed.</p>
<p>I wake up every morning and Thank God for all my blessings even for the things that he has taken away, I never question it I always know that he had a reason and his plan for me ahead are much greater.</p>
<p>He has removed those that I thought were true friends, when I befriended them and really cared about them.</p>
<p>People will come to you when they see that you have a lot to offer for their benefit, but when they no longer need you that&#8217;s when they start to gossip.</p>
<p>As I said before no one is perfect in this world I know I am not and I have made my mistakes, and sometimes that can just be by helping others that do not appreciate you.</p>
<p>I try and stay away from the party scene not that I may think I am too good but merely for the fact that this is why.</p>
<p>I am always careful as to where we go and who we surround ourselves with, I enjoy being around well rounded people that are mature and speak with great conversation of importance.</p>
<p>God has brought wonderful people into our life this past year, Michael and I have been blessed with a circle of friends with true influence and we share that with each other.</p>
<p>We are always too busy with our own life and our families that the thought of gossiping never even crosses our mind.  But when we hear what is or was said about us brings tears to my eyes and sadness to my heart.</p>
<p>If you happen to be reading my article and this may be you just know this that I care about you and I am praying for you all I ask is that you please leave us out of your conversation or anyone else you may feel this way about.</p>
<p>In the long run God sees what one does and he will come back and remind you in his time, I just don&#8217;t want you to be the one to have to ask why me. Because I know that I will never have to ask that question to God.</p>
<p>There is a great saying from Lady Bird Johnson that Michael has taught me:</p>
<p>Small minds talk about people</p>
<p>Average minds talk about events and</p>
<p>Great Minds talk about Ideas</p>
<p>We live by the Great Minds.  You should too!</p>
<p>God has given us all great minds so let’s learn to use it and use it with respect and dignity.</p>
<p>So if you plan to gossip about someone who has no clue of your intentions, you may want to think twice about it because someday you may need to reach out to that person and that door may be shut tight.</p>
<p>And then you will know that you could have had a real friend with great influence and now it&#8217;s too late.</p>
<p>In closing I want to send a Huge Thank You and a Big hug to all who supported me at my fundraiser it really meant a lot to me and you know you can count on me to be there for you.</p>
<p>I want to Especially thank Michael Arellano who has always been there for me and when I put myself in certain situations not meaning too he has always been there to help me and bail me out. I pray that someday God will reward me so that I may in return and pay back all that he has done for me.</p>
<p>These are things that I never or would never dream of forgetting those who have been there for me and Michael is that person.  I try to never look back on the many times that I was taken advantage of - I just thank God that he allowed me to help when I could.</p>
<p>So again Thank You to everyone may you find blessings in those that you care about and care about you, respect each other with kindness and never bring out the anger it only crushes ones heart.</p>
<p>Gossip is evil and the enemy is always there! but God is the strong one.</p>
<p>I am honored to represent Paseo Del Rio Royal Riverwalk Duchess 2012!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Super Bowl</em> XLVI (46) has come and gone! The New york Giants are World champs once again.  The game itself is the most watched event in the world &#8211; with larger audiences than the World Cup! Giants vs Patriots &#8211; who did you like? What did you learn? Let me dish it out!</p>
<p>Super models are not super spokesmen &#8211; that is for sure! Giselle should have been quiet! The players are pros and she is a pro but she should have been less vocal. What do you think?</p>
<p>Games are games and fun is fun &#8211; but the Bowl is the game of all games &#8211; and guess what? I have watched almost every Super bowl since I was 5 years old &#8211; Dallas Cowboys vs Baltimore Colts &#8211; with the exception of a couple. I almost never miss it  as I am as old as the Super Bowl itself.  It is the only Championship game that I look forward to.  I am a football fan first &#8211; then I have my teams.  None of my teams made the Super Bowl this year!</p>
<p>I was hoping for a Harbaugh Bowl myself &#8211; especially since the Cowboys blew their chances this season&#8230;  And since none of my yearlong picks came to fruition &#8211; I settled for what was supposed to be a great game.  I was disappointed only because it didn&#8217;t play out the way it could have &#8211; but i did learn some things along the way and i want to pass them along here.  This is what I learned:</p>
<ol>
<li>The super bowl is a good game but can still be boring super  &#8211; because, it can be boring; but here is the rest; see the end -</li>
<li>You can be down &#8211; but don&#8217;t count yourself out &#8211; Look at the Giants;</li>
<li>Do not underestimate your age &#8211; Tom Coughlin is the oldest coach to win the Super Bowl;</li>
<li>Analysts and naysayers are only guessing &#8211; all the analysis and guessing are speculation &#8211; they do not determine the outcome;</li>
<li>Even the best in the world can make mistakes &#8211; Tom Brady, one of the best to play the game, made a mistake on his first play from scrimmage;</li>
<li>You have to make plays &#8211; especially when it counts;</li>
<li>Mistakes don&#8217;t cost you the game &#8211; even with the early mistake &#8211; the Patriots had a chance;</li>
<li>Mistakes will cost you the game &#8211; you have to make a play, especially when it counts &#8211; Hernandez and Welker dropped critical passes late in the game;</li>
<li>It is just a game &#8211; just like the game of life,</li>
<li>Sloppy is still compelling &#8211; good game, boring and sloppy, but went down to the wire;</li>
<li>Losing, like failure, is an event &#8211; losing and failing are events, and does not define who you are:</li>
<li>If you do your best &#8211; you still might come up short;</li>
<li>You gotta make plays &#8211; you may make the difference in the outcome;</li>
<li>It still &#8220;ain&#8217;t nothing but a football game&#8221; &#8211; we place way too much emphasis on the Super Bowl &#8211; it is just a game;</li>
<li>Games matter &#8211; it pays too take your fun serious &#8211; ask the Patriots;</li>
<li>Winning counts &#8211; ask the Giants;</li>
<li>If you are a supermodel, it is best to be seen and not  heard &#8211; much like children &#8211; it is best to be seen and not heard!;</li>
<li>The Super Bowl is the greatest game to watch - According to the Nielsen Company, more than 110 million people watched Super Bowl XLVI &#8211; h<a href="http://w.po.st/share/entry/redir?publisherKey=Inquisitr.com-607&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inquisitr.com%2F191129%2Fsuper-bowl-xlvi-was-the-most-watched-show-in-us-history%2F&amp;title=Super%20Bowl%20XLVI%20The%20Most%20Watched%20Show%20in%20US%20History&amp;sharer=copypaste">ttp://w.po.st/share/entry/redir?publisherKey=Inquisitr.com-607&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inquisitr.com%2F191129%2Fsuper-bowl-xlvi-was-the-most-watched-show-in-us-history%2F&amp;title=Super%20Bowl%20XLVI%20The%20Most%20Watched%20Show%20in%20US%20History&amp;sharer=copypaste</a></li>
<li>if you have to rely on a prayer -it will be answered &#8211; just not the way you want &#8211; see hail mary pass;</li>
<li>There are more important things in life &#8211; ask Payton;</li>
<li>The game is a blast &#8211; watch it and see&#8217;</li>
<li>You can bond with family &#8211; ask my 10 year old daughter &#8211; our first together!</li>
</ol>
<p>The game is great &#8211; the Super Bowl is greater and there is lots to learn &#8211; but you must learn to appreciate the fact that it is just a game and that life is just a game also.</p>
<p>Have fun Play hard and dammit &#8211; catch the friggin ball! or risk losin it all!</p>
<p>Be blessed and dish it out yourself &#8211; Sid</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>New Year Resolution – Follow Your Heart!</strong> By Brandy Lopez</p>
<p>Happy New Year everyone! May your dreams and endeavors come true in 2012 &#8211; may you be prosperous and may Father God find favor on you.  It is a time of New Beginnings!</p>
<p>But first, I want to thank you all for your prayers last year as my family and I went through a difficult time in our life.  We almost lost our daughter Diamond due to illness. <span id="more-1034"></span>God answered our prayers &#8211; she is doing better!</p>
<p>2011 was tough for many of us with financial setbacks, health problems, and other personal issues.  But remember, God is always with us – no matter what.  In fact, He opened my eyes to a New Beginning of real success!</p>
<p>So I have decided not to make a New Year resolution.  Many of us make them yet never keep them.  And yes, I am guilty!  So I won’t make a resolution for 2012.</p>
<p>Instead, I will continue with what God has blessed me with as he prepared me for the New Year!  God showed me that He has great plans for Latin Fusion Tv by opening wonderful opportunities.</p>
<p>So If you ask what I want to do and how I plan to do it, my answer is this: &#8220;I don&#8217;t have the answer, but I will “Trust in God and Walk by Faith! I will pray for patience, faith and support!&#8221;  I must open my heart and soul and listen when being assured and told the truth.</p>
<p>I have to realize that no matter what I think or feel I should not fear or be insecure. I helped create Tejano Classic TV, then gave it a new name and created Latin Fusion TV &#8211; but I did not make it happen on my own.  I had help.  God helped me create and build my dreams.</p>
<p>But, you see, we sometimes let the enemy take over.  He sneaks up on us when we are weak. I know because it happened to me in 2011.  It was not a good year for me.  And as the fears got deeper, I became weaker and allowed doubt to enter my life.</p>
<p>I felt lost like I was going in many different directions with no direction for myself or my show.  The reason is it is sometimes hard for me to trust.  You may understand.  You give your time, share it with a kind heart and when you least expect it &#8211; a bomb hits.</p>
<p>My fear is that I would give it my all, make it happen and somewhere down the road - along with everything else that I love and care about – it would vanish.</p>
<p>I have been told many times that that’s life and that we must keep going, but it is still enough to scare anyone as it scared me. But I have to remember Psalms 118:6 “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”</p>
<p>I have realized that I can be my own worst enemy when I think crazy thoughts.  I have to remember that I am just me &#8211; I am a person who can make a difference <strong><em>IF</em></strong> I Trust God and not my own thoughts.</p>
<p>2012 will be different and with the “Eye of the Tiger,” I plan to shine and work hard for our business. I hope you do the same &#8211; no one can take that away.</p>
<p>I promise not to take things, or people, for granted.  I will set goals, make them happen and make a difference!  I will not doubt! I will make it &#8220;my priority!&#8221;</p>
<p>I support you in your endeavors and ask that you please continue to support me.  I hope you learn from my mistakes and never give up on God’s blessings to you.</p>
<p>Remember to hold on to each other and never let go.  Continue to smile even if it’s hard, it’s still there.  The enemy will try to discourage you – but don’t give up.  Do not doubt!</p>
<p>Finally, Thank You Michael Arellano and Independent Functions.  You have taught me that “You can get what you want <strong><em>IF</em></strong> you help others get what they need!”  <em>“The Power of  IF&#8221;</em> says that IF you believe – it can be!  “IF” is a big reason that LFTV is where it is today.  I appreciate your support and confidence.</p>
<p>I may not have all the answers, or the logistics, but I will know when God puts them in my sight.  LFTV will succeed as we are looking at the bigger picture.  God has put that in my heart!  What has he put in your heart?</p>
<p>So I say again: Happy New Year!  Make a resolution to follow your heart!</p>
<p>May God Bless you and remember to “Walk by Faith and Not by Sight!” – Brandy</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy New Year to everyone!</p>
<p>My this year be a prosperous year for you and all your endeavors and your Dreams.</p>
<p>This year I have decided not to make a New Years resolution, but to actually move forward with what God has Blessed me with.</p>
<p>I want to thank each and everyone of you for all your prayers this last year as my family and I went through the most difficult time in our life, when we almost lost our Daughter Diamond during Thanksgiving.  If you do not know about this &#8211; she was on 100% life support and not expected to make it through Thanksgiving!</p>
<p>When asked who would make the final decision &#8211; if need be &#8211; I knew in my heart that it would not be me &#8211; it would be Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>As I stepped outside of the ER that evening to pray, I saw the the Twinkle in the Sky that brought back a beautiful sweet memory of my Princess Diamond when she was two years old.  She and I would sing&#8221; Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!&#8221;   Her favorite phrase was &#8220;Like a Diamond in The Sky&#8221; and she would say I am looking at you!</p>
<p>It was at that moment that God was saying: &#8220;I am looking over her as I am healing her back to life!&#8221;</p>
<p>Today, I am happy to say that after three weeks in the hospital and on Life support, our daughter is walking, talking and eating like you wouldn&#8217;t believe &#8211; and we love it!</p>
<p>But, we have to extend our Thanks to all of you for all your support and Love.</p>
<p>We should never take those that we love for Granted or say something that we may never be able to take back &#8211; especially if  God chooses to take them from us at any given moment!  When you invite someone into your own life treat them like they matter, like they are family!  That is one thing that I was raised and taught and I plan to have my children do the same. We may not always be perfect in each others eyes , but we definitely are in Gods eyes.</p>
<p>We have been Blessed with three beautiful children that are all grown up today, but to dad and myself they will always be our babies.</p>
<p>They each have a twinkle in the Sky that is as bright as a star and shines like a Diamond.</p>
<p>When you look at your loved ones Imagine that and give thanks to Jesus Christ for all the Blessings he has given you when it comes to Family and Friends.</p>
<p>This New Year I have no new years resolution as for many years everyone seems to make them yet there are those of us who never keep them, yes I am guilty!</p>
<p>The Blessings that God has given me this past year as he prepared me for the New Year!  I promise not to take for Granted  but to make it a priority, &#8220;my Priority!&#8221;.</p>
<p>I will reach for that Twinkle in The Sky, set my Goals and make them reality.  If you ask what is it that you want to do and how do you plan to do it, my answer is this: &#8220;I don&#8217;t have that answer, therefore I will not answer, but I can only trust in God and Walk with Faith! If you believe in me like you say you do then I pray for your patience, your faith and your support!&#8221;</p>
<p>This I can say: God has answered great prayers this  past year and one was healing my daughter and He has opened my vision to a New Beginning of real success!</p>
<p>I am sure 2011 was a tough year for a lot of us,  some of us had to deal with financial set backs, Health problems, and I am sure other personal issues.</p>
<p>This I will say why not join forces and make a real difference in our lives and set goals and make them happen.</p>
<p>We sometimes let the enemy take over and he will try and sneak up on those of us that are weak. I know because it has happen to me 2011 was not a  very year good for myself  The fears just got deeper and I became weak that I allowed it to happen.</p>
<p>God has let me know as the year almost ended that he has great plans for us by opening wonderful opportunities.</p>
<p>I am very happy and proud to say that Michael was blessed with an opportunity and he made it happen.</p>
<p>I received an email from a person out of state and is now a client and is blogging on our website  Blog, so with that said I have come to realize that no matter what I think or feel I should not Fear or be insecure I have to open my heart and soul and listen when I am being assured and  told the truth.</p>
<p>I have felt so lost and felt like I was going in different directions with me creating no direction for myself or my show.</p>
<p>My fear was that I would give it all I have and really make it happen and some where down the road  along with everything else that I love and care about would vanish.</p>
<p>I may have been my own enemy thinking these crazy thoughts, but today in time it is some times hard for me to trust, others may not understand but I have given in my time and shared with a kind heart and when not expecting it a bomb would hit, I know I have been told many times that life and we have to keep going. But  that alone would be enough to scare anyone as it has scared me.</p>
<p>Yet 2012 will be different I want to share with you that Latin Fusion TV will succeed and it may not just be just Latin Fusion TV but I will be looking at an even Greater picture I may not have all the answers or the logistics but I know that they are there where God has put them in my sight.</p>
<p>I support you with all your Goals and Endeavors for the New Year  and ask that you please continue to support me.</p>
<p>I may have created  Tejano Classic TV and gave it a new name LFTV but I did not make it happen on my own.</p>
<p>After going thru so many obstacles I have to  say thank You  to Independent Functions who is the strong power and mind behind  LFTV and it&#8217;s website are today.</p>
<p>That is the power of  &#8220;If&#8221; as it&#8217;s slogan says I can&#8217;t get what I want unless I help others get what they need.</p>
<p>This is proven to be very true and I am very grateful although I may not show it I know what my Heart feels.</p>
<p>Thank You Michael Arellano for your real believes in what a dream or  goal can really become reality.</p>
<p>You are that Twinkle in the Sky!</p>
<p>I am sorry for my actions and for saying I am just me.</p>
<p>I am not just me I am a person, who can make a difference if I just let thinks be..</p>
<p>I hope that those of you reading my article will learn by may mistakes and never give up  on what God has blessed you with.</p>
<p>2012 will bring out the the Eye of the Tiger that will add that twinkle in my eyes and if I plan to shine and work hard  for our business I hope you do the same.</p>
<p>Nothing or no one can ever take that away.</p>
<p>Happy New Year my dear friends and remember to hold on to each other and never let go that is just what the enemy wants as I have heard this many times.</p>
<p>Continue to smile like you have always done even if there was a time you felt it was gone, it has always been there, the enemy just tried to take control and today I found my smile again.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>May God Bless You and continue to Walk by Faith and Not by Sight!</p>
<p>Brandy Lopez</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people have heard the term <a href="http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/what_is_cloud_computing/">cloud computing</a>, but few seem to be aware of what it really is. This is unfortunate, because it is the future of how computers will operate. In its most basic form, this type of computing is the use of programs and information over a network, usually the internet, instead of having them physically in the same location.</p>
<p>Most people are already using a cloud company service without even realizing it every time they access pictures or music that they have saved on a remote server. There are many companies that are being started to provide this service, but there are also many well-known companies like Google, Amazon and Apple that are branching out to offer cloud services to businesses and individuals alike. There are many benefits of using cloud computing and a few drawbacks that must be considered.</p>
<p>The flexibility and cost savings are usually considered the largest advantages of utilizing the cloud. By storing applications and data remotely, people are able to access them from any location. Data storage and server costs can also be significantly reduced. Paying a monthly fee is a much smaller cost than purchasing and maintaining the storage drives that even a small business would need. Many business owners also use the cloud as part of their disaster recovery plan. By having all data and computer programs stored in the cloud, it is safe from any disasters like floods or fire at the physical business site.</p>
<p>The number one concern about using this type of computing is the safety of the data being stored. Many people are rightly concerned about making sure that their information is safe from any hackers or other computer criminals. Fortunately, most services have numerous data safeguards in place to prevent any unauthorized access. When looking for a cloud service, one should inquire and understand the precautions that are taken to protect their information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fans of attractive, male Latin American stars have probably seen television stars Aaron Díaz, Julián Gil and Federico Díaz. Now, these three won&#8217;t just be available on demand from your <a href="http://www.directstartv.com/directv_programming/directv_channel_lineup.html">Direct StarTV</a>, but can also stare at you from your bedroom wall. Aaron Díaz is currently starring in the hot new American television show, <em>Pan Am</em>, which features veteran actress Christina Ricci, Julián Gil of the acclaimed <em>La Que no Podía Amar</em> and Federico Díaz of popular <em>Los Juanas</em> are both coming to a wall calendar near you, as all three have signed up to be calendar cover boys in the new year.</p>
<p>If sultry, sensual Latina women are more your style, then there are definitely some fresh and beautiful new faces to watch for in this year&#8217;s television lineup. While she has no plans to grace a calendar anytime soon, Ana de la Reguera is certainly attracting attention in her role as Vida on HBO&#8217;s <em>Eastbound &amp; Down</em>. Ana plays a single mother who, for good reason, has caught the eye of Kenny Powers, played by Danny McBride. Not to be outdone, Showtime has brought in April Hernandez to play a hot new role on hit show <em>Dexter</em>.  April stars as Cira, a tough talking cop.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget, either, the old favorites still gracing your television screen. Jennifer Lopez continues her stint as a judge on American Idol this season, and Sofia Vergara will keep on shining in her hilarious <em>Modern Family</em> role. Yes, if Latina super stars are just your style, then you need to keep the television turned on and your eyes peeled this season. They will be gracing all the top television series around, and adding that special Latin sizzle that heats up television like nothing else.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello to all of our Readers! We hope you had a safe Halloween and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!  The Holidays are upon us so enjoy your time with your family and be thankful for what you have.</p>
<p>Last month we wrote about <em>Running the Race</em>, not giving up and understanding that things happen for a reason.  How people and circumstances, like the seasons of the year, come and go and it is all in God’s time!  Therefore, we must have faith and be committed to do what is right.</p>
<p>It means we must commit to <em>Finish Well</em>!</p>
<p>When we discuss finishing well, we are not talking about winning the race, but about finishing strong &#8211; doing the best you can and making sure that you commit to finish &#8211; and do what is right, good and helpful.</p>
<p>Finishing well is important because life is a journey! It can be a long and tough road.  People remember us more for what we do rather than for who we are.  This can be hard but you can finish well.  The chapter of your life is still being written.  Write it well!</p>
<p>It’s the same for us, it is the same with business, things might be tough &#8211; but do not give up. And if things are going well, then be generous, help out, give back.</p>
<p>It is the Holidays and there will be a lot of activities going on.  It should be a reminder of how grateful we should be, and how much we can help those less fortunate than us.  How we can make a difference.</p>
<p>It is easy to look at how little we may have or what we are missing in our life, but let&#8217;s not. Let&#8217;s finish the year well by helping others.  The best way is to volunteer and donate.  You can help us!</p>
<p>On Friday, December 9<sup>th</sup>, I will host my 6th Annual Star Gala, or &#8220;Una Noche con Las Estrellas,&#8221; at the Fountain Bleu Banquet Hall.  The event will be from 7 to midnight.  But this is not an ordinary gala, we have partnered with our dear friend, Rocky &#8220;Shuffle&#8221; Hernandez, of the award winning OBG Band and we will have a dance and special guests.  We will collect toys to be delivered over the holidays and we will bring in local celebrities and stars to party with us.</p>
<p>We will collect toys for Rocky&#8217;s Kids and Brandy&#8217;s Toy Box.  Toys will be delivered to Bexar County Sheriff, Christus Santa Rosa Children&#8217;s Hospital, Santa&#8217;s Cruisers and other organizations.  Many will be volunteering their time and resources and we will be doing a good thing for Families in Need.   I invite you to join us.</p>
<p>We are working with Janie&#8217;s Records Shop, Del Bravo Records, and other locations to collect gifts for the children.  On Facebook, go to the Latin Fusion Tv group page and Una Noche con Las Estrellas Event page for the latest information and updates on the Gala and where to donate.</p>
<p>Check out the ad here in Street Talk magazine.  Hey, maybe we can talk Jaime to join us and you can meet our wonderful editor and publisher.</p>
<p>This month is Veteran&#8217;s Day &#8211; We salute all of our veterans and support our troops!</p>
<p>On Friday, November 11, the JW Marriott is hosting a big Veterans Day bash.  Also, they are honoring teachers, firefighters, police officers and government employees with a discounted room rate – check out our website for details.</p>
<p>On Saturday, November 12 is the United States Military Veterans Parade, it is one of the largest veteran’s day parades in the United States.  Remember, Freedom isn&#8217;t Free and this is just one way we can honor our veterans &#8211; We hope to see you there.</p>
<p>Finally, for information regarding the SouthTown Lions, the events we support and the work we do check out our website: <a href="http://www.southtownlions.org/">www.SouthtownLions.org</a>.  As for latin Fusion Tv, we have lots of upcoming events, so please visit our website: <a href="http://www.latinfusiontv.com/">www.LatinFusionTv.com</a>.</p>
<p>The end of the year is near, so let’s remember to walk by faith and not by sight, love each other and commit to Finish Well! Hope to see you at our Gala!  God Bless &#8211; Brandy</p>
