Tinker Bell: The Secret of the Wings how to fix her wings. Queen Clarion (Anjelica Huston), arrives too, and explains to the girls that they can never see each other again. As the girls go their separate ways, the snow-maker gets knocked into the stream, and creates a snowstorm. Later that day, Queen Clarion tried to make Tinker Bell understand why the rule about not crossing the border was so important, and so did Lord Milori with Periwinkle. They tell the story of two fairies who fell deeply in love, but were from the different worlds. One of the fairies crossed the border and broke a wing; an injury for which there was no cure. Just as the Queen finishes her side of the tale, it begins to snow, causing a commotion. The seasons become thrown out of balance, and the life of the Pixie Dust Tree comes into question; if it becomes too cold, it will freeze and stop producing Pixie Dust. Tinker Bell flies straight to the Winter Woods, and asks Periwinkle why the flower was still alive. Gliss explains that frost tucks warm air inside, and Periwinkle suggests that they could frost the Pixie Dust Tree before the cold comes. As they race to save the Pixie Dust Tree and save Pxie Hallow, Tink and Periwinkle realize the Secret of the Wings.
After another season of creating snowflake baskets for the snowy owls to take across the border to the Winter Woods, Tinker Bell's (Mae Whitman) curiosity grows about the fairies that live there. One day Tink temporarily crosses the border into the forbidden land and realizes her wings are sparkling. Determined to figure out why her wings reacted that way, she checks out a book in the fairy library only to be told the author lives in the Winter Woods. Tink sneaks back over to find the author, the Keeper, Dewey (Jeff Bennett) but finds Periwinkle (Lucy Hale) instead, whose wings also have begun to sparkle. As it turns out, Tink and Peri are fairy sisters, "born of the same laugh." But the rules passed down from the fairy leaders insist they remain apart in their own lands, a law both sisters intend to defy at all costs. The next day, Tinker Bell arrives at the border with Bobble and Clank, pulling along a snow-maker. Now able to keep Periwinkle cold enough, Peri's crosses the border to the 'warm' side of Pixie Hollow. She meets Tinker Bell's friends and continues her tour of the warm side of Pixie Hollow. She then frosts a flower that Tink and her friends gave to her as a gift, hoping to keep it forever, until Tink noticed Periwinkle's wings wilting. The snow-maker was running out of ice, and there wasn't enough snow to keep Peri cold, so Tink and Periwinkle return to the border. Lord Milori (Timothy Dalton), appears and instructs Periwinkle

The Leadership Challenge
Ask Koren
2. A leader’s strength is seen in times of crisis. When difficult times come, it is often a test of character. How many leaders are re-elected based on how they acted after a disaster or in a crisis. 3. Have a sense of time and place. There is a time for everything. A true leader knows when to push and when to pull back; he or she knows what can be said publicly, in a group or during individual encounters. 4. Know your team members. Everyone has different strengths. Knowing your team members could help you as a leader to manage your expectations and resist the urge to compare. 5. Consistency. A true leader must be consistent and reliable. If you change the rules day by day, it confuses team members and they lose faith in you as a leader. The leadership challenge is not an easy one. Sometimes folks set out to undermine your efforts, challenge your authority and create dissention among the team. When this happens, the leader cannot ignore it, but must acknowledge what is happening and seek to resolve the issues before they get out of control. For those in leadership positions and for the aspiring leaders among us, the work is not easy, but it is worth it. Make an assessment of the kind of leader you are and your leadership styles. Watch the way in which you communicate and the kinds of boundaries you set. Emulate other good leaders if you must, but in time you must develop your own unique style and be prepared to make a positive difference in the lives of those whom you influence.
The Mitt Romney – Barak Obama battle for leadership of one of the most powerful countries of the world, got me thinking about the nuances of the leadership challenge. While the discussion of good leadership is a topic that could fill a ten volume book series, we could at least consider some of the more salient points briefly. First off, some people are born with natural leadership tendencies, but good leaders can be made by reading relevant material, learning techniques, practicing behaviors and enhancing the qualities they already possess and acquiring new ones. A good leader has integrity and leads by example. This leader expects the best from his or her team because he or she recognizes that everyone has some potential and as a leader one must recognize effort and outcomes and in some cases, reward it. A good leader educates their team members, communicates a vision so there is purpose and cohesion in their efforts, and also encourages, supports and stimulates their team. Here are some important points to remember about leadership. 1. Power should not be abused. If you are in a position of authority, you should not punish someone just because they disagree with you or because you feel like it. Limin’ Times Entertainment Guide

Finding Josiah’s Bay I recently moved to Tortola. At first I was a little concerned about the change. But being born in Puerto Rico with Dominican parents has helped me overcome this anxiety quickly. But, even though these Caribbean islands are similar there are also some fundamental differences between them. One noticeable difference is that in Tortola we can appreciate nature more intensely. The green of the mountains seems greener, the blue of the water is very intense and everywhere. My first month here consisted of doing paper work, finding a place to live and learning how to get around. Fortunately, citizens in Tortola are awesome and enjoy helping people like me move around. Still, I wanted to start exploring the island on my own. Deciding where to go first has not been easy since everyone has passionately recommended different preferred spots. Luckily, a recently made friend loaned me her car so that I could go see the island. I took off on a Sunday afternoon with out any maps or idea of where I would be heading. I left from Cane Garden Bay driving up the hill, where I got a quick glance of the bay and the beautiful horizon behind me. Driving was a lot of fun, between the almost rally racing feeling of the road and the awe-inspiring scenery it was a real treat. I decided pretty early on to avoid Road Town, not because I don’t like it but because I’ve seen it and I was on a quest to see something different. Then I saw a sign that read Josiah’s Bay, the name sounded familiar but I couldn’t remember if they told me to avoid it or not to miss it. I decided to make the trip more interesting by making the outcome a metaphor of my life. As I continued driving through the dirt road I grew more
nervous and started thinking about what lay ahead and hoping not to make it the last time anybody trusted me with their car. All of a sudden a pack of goats jumped onto the side of the road, running almost in front of the car and beside me. That’s when I decided to learn from the wild goats to jump to the adventure and run with it. Finally, the dirt road ended in a parking area where there were some cars. I parked the truck and followed the sand, walking towards the sound of the ocean. Then, something magical happened… I saw Josiah’s Bay. It reminded me of the image I have in my mind whenever I hear people talking about paradise. It was stunning! Then I noticed some people in the water with their surfboards, waiting, then a slow but perfectly shaped, prime quality set of waves started hitting the shore. A guy gracefully rode his long board smoothly like riding on baby oil. I thought to myself, I have just found God’s private playground, then immediately I concluded that if this is how my life turns out then I guess I’ll be all right. 13

Hudson Honors Houston in new CBS tribute Jennifer Hudson wasn’t even planning to attend last February’s Grammy Awards. Instead, she stopped the show with a tribute both sad and celebratory. Those attending were shocked by the death of music icon Whitney Houston the night before, and Grammy winner Hudson was summoned at virtually the last minute for what was a stunning rendition of the Houston-recorded, Dolly Parton-written classic I Will Always Love You. The American Idol alum honors Houston again in the new CBS special We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute to Whitney Houston airing on Friday, Nov. 16. Taped in mid-October at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre L.A. Live, the program also stars Celine Dion, Usher, Yolanda Adams and CeCe Winans. Plentiful clips of Houston herself are included, in Grammy appearances and also at Super Bowl XXV, where her rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner an became immediately classic. “I did some of her up-tempo numbers,” Hudson reports of her part in the show. “I did I Wanna Dance With Somebody, How Will I Know and I’m Every Woman. Those songs have this energy that lifts everyone up; as soon as the music kicks in, you’re just happy and celebrating. Anytime I’m having a ‘Whitney moment,’ those songs lift my spirits. “That’s what I wanted to do, to lift up her memory and celebrate instead of mourn. Let’s turn a negative into a positive and revisit the legacy she left us through her music. Just thinking about it makes me smile. She had such a beautiful energy, and she was always vibrant and excited. You can still feel that through her music to this day.”
Hudson remembers the moment she was asked to help memorialize Houston at the Grammys. “It flipped the whole week inside out,” she recalls. “This was the first Grammys I was not going to attend or perform at (since becoming a music star herself), and I was excited to sit on my couch in my hotel and watch the Grammys from there. “The day she passed was the pre-Grammy party, and I was going to that ... and I was in the middle of getting ready for it when we got the call about what had happened. It’s something that just knocks you off your feet, so much to take in, and I’ve seen a lot. She’s one of my greatest inspirations, so it was a huge loss for me. Now, every time I go to L.A., she’s the first thing that comes to mind.” Being asked to sing I Will Always Love You that Grammy night placed a colossal responsibility on Hudson. “It definitely was overwhelming,“ she admits. “There’s only one Whitney Houston, but to be able to honor her, it only could come from the heart. “I didn’t know if I’d be able to get through it, but I would do anything for Whitney. I felt like we all should be singing it, because there was not one person in that room she didn’t touch. She gave her life to this industry, and that always should be remembered.” Featured in the upcoming Season 2 of NBC’s Smash, Hudson — who owns an Oscar for the 2006 screen version of Dreamgirls — was intent on seeing Houston’s final film performance in the remake of Sparkle, which debuts on home video Nov. 30. 15
