Pancake breakfast fundraiser update for mission team

Here is the pancake breakfast fundraiser update that you have all been waiting on. This series is a departure from the normal articles that appear on You've Been Reviewed. Given the local interest it seemed best to post updates here. This way everyone can stay abreast of the developments. After all, it isn't every day that a team from the churches in our area get to share God and learn about Him in turn, in Alaska.

The pancake breakfast fundraiser at Wesleyanna UMC was a success. Lots of new faces joined the team in the fundraising efforts. Tickets were priced at $5.00 which included all-you-can-eat pancakes, plus sausage, scrambled eggs and drinks.

Profit from the fundraiser was around $875. People were generous enough to donate items, or to provide funding, so that the cost of raw ingredients were covered. Sausage, pancake mix and syrup were donated by individuals that wanted to help. Several others gave the funds to provide other essentials. The end result was a pancake breakfast fundraiser that gave a 100% profit margin and people tossed in a few extra dollars here and there.

Also, everyone seemed to have a good time. That's important when you're trying to raise money for any cause.

Other fundraisers are coming up. There is a murder mystery dinner at Jones Chapel UMC on April 25, the team will be hosting a jewelry party where 80% of the jewelry price will go to the mission team. A photographer will be taking family portraits in time for Mother's Day. A yard and/or craft sale is also being discussed.

The team is also accepting donations of craft supplies and Vacation Bible School materials for the trip. Email me at youvebeenreviewed@gmail.com if you can help with items. 

Keep watching this blog as we go along. We'll be posting updates on our travels as we go along and about all other future events. It should be a fun ride. Thanks for virtually coming with us on the mission trip!

Outsourcing can make your travel app or website soar

Do you know anyone who can’t access online information via a cell phone these days? Even inexpensive phones usually have some way to connect to the internet. Life without them would be almost unfathomable today. These little gadgets have revolutionized the way we bank, communicate and travel.

Are you and your friends wanting to hike the Appalachian Trail for spring break? Are you looking for solo or family flights from to New Zealand from New Mexico in the fall? The chances are high that there is an app that can help you get there.

Or maybe you have an idea and want to develop a travel website and aren’t sure where to start? The process of creating the site, deciding where to park it and maintaining the site can be daunting.

Word spreads fast via social media these days. If someone uses an app or website and likes it, they’ll probably tell their friends by tweeting or posting it as a status update. The networking can draw interest to your product and increase sales.

If someone uses your app to book their next vacation and has a bad experience, then they’ll probably post that too. Obviously this is less than desirable.

When designing a website or app, it is important that you know what to do and how to do it. This is where outsourcing can be invaluable. You want an asp.net development company that can move you’re your vision forward.

When your idea is put in the right hands amazing things can happen. Outsourcing isn’t always done by offshore companies or in a foreign country. Many companies have offices within the United States.

No matter which company you use, it’s important to work with an agent that understands your vision. Setting clear goals will create a road map that everyone can live with.


Outsourcing may be the ticket you need. It can put wings onto your idea so it can fly above the rest.

Benefit 5K race and 1 Mile fun walk in Athens

There will be a benefit 5K race and one mile fun walk in Athens, Tennessee. Mark your calendars for March 23, 2013. There is an early bird registration fee of $20. After that the registration goes up to $25. The money will go to help a young woman with her medical costs. Even if you register early, you may still want to include the extra $5.

The benefit 5K race and one-mile fun walk is a way for the community to give back.  There will be prizes for individuals and for teams who register. Plus, anyone who donates $25 or more gets a free t-shirt. The real reason to participate is to help someone who needs it.

BenchMark Physical Therapy is helping one of their own by putting the benefit 5K race/ one mile fun walk together. This is the second time that they have helped me overcome a health challenge. I know them and trust them. When they told me about the 5K race and one mile benefit, I felt compelled to blog about it.

A young woman on the BenchMark team is facing an extreme health crisis. I don't want to give out her personal information but I can tell you that she joined the team  in 2011. Since then, she worked her way into the hearts of the community and is highly regarded among her co-workers.

Proceeds are deposited into a special account at Regions Bank in Athens. Race forms are available on the Facebook page of www.facebook.com/BenchMarkPhysicalTherapy. You can also email mnichols@benchmarkpt.com for more information.

The 5K race in Athens is an important benefit. I am happy to help spread the word about the event. Can you help by sending a check, Tweeting about it or by posting to your status? I think that the young woman will appreciate your support.

Home decision details


I am finding out that when you put a home in order, that the small details can be the most important. There are a lot of decisions that have to be made. Choosing the right colors, deciding how to arrange the furniture (and rearrange it) take time. Figuring out if you want to buy carpeting from a company like Behnam Rugs or from another company are the types of decisions that turn a house into a home.

Thanks to my husband's job, we have traveled to different parts of East Tennessee. This parsonage is the first that where the committee allows us to help make decisions. We have had a great deal of fun over the past year. I do not know if we will get involved with decisions on things like French patio doors or atriumwindows but they are nice to think about.

A few years ago, I traveled to Texas with volunteers from Hope for Healing.Org. We considered developing an office out there and were amazed at the amount of details. Just deciding which commercial cleaning company to use had us overwhelmed. I am grateful for that travel experience and for the opportunity to be there with our volunteers.

My new job as a local pastor has me feeling sentimental and appreciative. Riceville is a good area to work and to live. I hope that some of you will consider traveling here to get a taste of simple country living. Once you arrive, you won't want to leave.

Relay for Life Event in Athens, Tennessee

The Relay for Life event in Athens, Tennessee is tonight at the Pavilion at the Athens Regional Park. The clear and cloudless sky makes it a perfect night for this fundraiser. The purpose of Relay for Life is to raise funds that will help in the fight against cancer.

Participants who are planning to be at the event may want to bring a jacket. Evening temperatures in Athens are expected to become chilly in the late night hours.
Relay for Life also raises awareness about the disease. Cancer strikes without warning. Although some people may have a genetic tendency, most of the people who have cancer do not have a family history.

My own mother was a case in point. She found a breast cancer lump in 1989. Health insurance and dread were issues that kept her from seeking treatment. Her doctor thought that the lump might be a common cyst that  was nothing to worry about. The resulting delay necessitated a radical mastectomy. Five years too late the doctors discovered that the cancer had spread.

Part of the Relay for Life fundraiser in Athens,  TN is a walk by survivors. There is also a caregiver's lap for anyone who has taken care of a cancer patient. Tonight will also feature survivor Mayor Hal Buttram, an invocation, Boy Scout color guards and music. Most of all, it features the all important relay.

The event at Athens Regional Park begins at 5:00 pm and goes until 5:00 am. Concessions are available.  I hope that you will support  the fundraiser. Information and donations are accepted online at Relay for Life.

Updated 5/16/12

Knoxville Walk and Wag Dog Walk raises funds for memorial scholarship

If your family is looking for a June outing, I have the one for you. The Knoxville Walk and Wag Dog Walk charity fundraiser takes place on June 2 and it is not just any event. This one is being done to honor the memory of a little girl who died as the result of a tragic horseback riding accident.

This why you want to support this Knoxville event:

Sometimes bad things happen that are no one's fault. The death of 10 year old Abby Gibson fits into that category. She was familiar with the horse, wore a riding helmet and was under the supervision of a caring instructor.

When the horse stumbled they both went down. Abby was lifeflighted to UTMedical Center where doctors did everything they could. In the end, it was a tragedy that no one could predict or prevent.

Abby's mom could have become bitter in her grief but did not. Instead, Jennifer Gibson decided to create a the Abby Gibson Memorial Scholarship Fund at the UT Vet school in Knoxville. This will give graduates from an East Tennessee High School the chance to become the veterinarian that Abby wanted to be.

Another reason to support this charity fundraiser is that the monies for the scholarship will be invested by the university. First, Jennifer Gibson has to raise $25,000 to get the fund going. At $16,000 she is already more than halfway to the amount that she needs and is counting on a charity fundraiser to meet her goal.

This is where you and the Knoxville Walk and Wag can come together. PetSafe is the presenting sponsor. The day is just about guaranteed to be fun for the entire family and it couldn't be for a better cause.

Knoxville Walk and Wag will be held at Victor Ashe Park on Saturday, June 2. Registration for the dgo walk begins at 9 am. the dog walk is at 10 am and other festivities begin at 11 am. There will be animal rescue groups, lots of activities and information from PetSafe. Check the Facebook page for details.

The is more than just another Knoxville fundraiser. It is the quest of a mother to honor the memory of her daughter. Festivities happen rain or shine. Thanks to sponsorships from PetSpace and volunteers, 100% of the proceeds will go to the Abby Gibson Memorial Scholarship fund. PetSafe is supporting it, won't you join them too?

Restaurant.com gift certificates

Restaurant.com has $25 gift certificates for only $2.00. The promotion is only good for a limited time and runs  until March 31, 2011. Use the promo code BLOOM to get the discount.

Restaurant.com Weekly Promo Offer 125 X 125Hubby and I would never have been able to go to Mahogany's in the Crowne Plaza without the gift certificate. Restaurant.com made it possible for us have a special evening dinner without feeling the financial pinch. Combining this dinner with a trip to the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville made it a night to remember.

I have also seen Restaurant.com gift certificates available for the Knoxville eateries of Swizzles, LaRumba, Taj Fine Indian Dining, Cafe Restaurant and The Library at the Crowne Plaza -- among others!

My elder daughter lives in D.C. Since over 18,000 locations participate nationwide, there was no problem with finding something for her. (I'm looking forward to hearing how her trip to the Ethiopian place goes.)

Click the banner above to check out Restaurant.com. If you do place an order I will receive a commission of about .06 on the $2.00. Sixty or so purchases will buy a gallon of gas so obviously I'm not telling you for the money. I'm telling you about it because it's a product that I enjoy and hope that you will too.

How Walden.edu might fit my travel writing schedule

Traveling isn't only one of my passions it is also how I supplement my income. Writing travel reviews here on Youve Been Reviewed and for online writing sites helps me pay bills and provides some freedom.

Update: 10/6/18 This article was written several months ago when I was first deciding where to attend college. Instead of attending an online school, I opted for my local community college. The offline courses have kept me at home more, but the tuition is free and that's a major factor. Because a couple of people said they benefitted from the article, it makes sense to leave it up. However, I wanted to return with an update in the interest of full disclosure.

Now, back to the original article...

Travel writing takes me on the road quite a bit. My Disney World articles outlines my experience at the theme park. You can find a lot of information on this blog about how we did Disney without the kids. My insights will hopefully help you make your next trip a magical adventure. You can also read about my drive through the Canadian wildnerness to Alaska and about journeys closer to home. But what does this mean for my college education?

I enjoy being a travel writer, but I also have plans to go back to school. How will I fit everyting in? That's where an online school like Walden University might be beneficial. An online school will allow me to work on the road while completing my degree at the same time. I'm also looking into classes at Pellissippi State. This is a local community college that offers an expanding array of online courses.   

Schedule flexibility is important. Needing to have someone with me means working around Hubby's schedule and the schedule of my kids. That's why, if I ever want to go back to school someplace like WaldenU.edu is going to be at the top of my list.

I've been surprised at how often internet is available on my travels. On our drive to Alaska I couldn't help but notice that internet access was easier to find than a cell phone signal. My Mi-Fi is nice to have but WI-FI is also available in many campgrounds.

That's what makes Walden University's online degree programs a possibility. They not only have flexibility but they offer classes that sound interesting. The combination is one that is worth considering. Learning different languages would certainly be a plus for me! You can click here if you would like to learn about Walden.

I'm not sure about going back to school. I have discussed this with my family so it is on my radar screen. Right now I like being able to bring travel stories to you from my pop-up camper, home office and on the road. Who knows what the future holds?

London insiders help tourists find apartments

I have always thought that it would be fun to be an exchange student. Zipping around the city to find London Apartments for students would certainly familiarize yourself with the city. The next thing would be to find the shops, supermarkets and university offices that students need.

Friends of my daughter are returning soon from a year in London. It would be exciting to live and work there. My daughter enjoys traveling as much as I do. If her friends return to England I hope that she will visit them.

Are you going to be there for the 2012 Olympics in London? I've been to the sites in Atlanta and Calgary. One things that I learned is that it helps if someone local can make suggestions on where to stay and what to do.

I found this couple in London who might be helpful. Who could have a better understanding of the city than lifelong Londoners? Robert and Polly Arnold have 22 years of experience in helping people find London apartments. 

The couple loves living in London so much that they chose it as a place to raise their children.

With such a vested interest, Robert and Polly Arnold could be the right people to help you locate accommodations for the 2012 Olympic games. You can see London tourist sites during the day and unwind in your apartment in the evenings.

Robert and Polly can use their insider knowledge to help you find the right London apartments. This website link tells more about the services they offer. http://apartment-hotels.com/page.php?ID=4 It sounds like it may be worth a look.

Don't forget. If you go to the 2012 Olympics in London be sure to take extra camera batteries. We'll be glad to post a link from this blog post to your online photos. Have fun.

Check out AJ Rose in Boston for carpeting and flooring

I'll never forget it when my grandmother bought new carpet. She wanted some for years but didn't feel that she could afford it. Then things changed and Grandmother was able to get new carpet. It made her home look better and gave her more confidence about having people over.

The company that Grandmother purchased from also carried flooring. She mentioned getting new linoleum for the kitchen a few times but never followed through. I think she felt that removing everything from the room was too much trouble. We told us that's the reason she had us grandkids. Grandmother was content with the carpet and left it at that.

Those who live in the northeast and want Carpet, Boston may have a company you want to check out. A.J. Rose Carpets and Flooring has been family owned since 1977. They have two locations in the area to choose from. They have products from companies like Shaw, Mohawk and Karastan (just to name a few).

Flooring comes under attack from a variety of sources. Every day dirt comes in from our shoes, pets and other sources. Things are dropped and liquids are spilled. There is more to taking care of your investment than vacuuming and prompt cleanup.

A.J. Rose Carpets and Flooring has a list of maintenance tips on the company website. These tips can extend the life of your flooring. I've written before about how helpful carpet cleaning can be. A.J. Rose Carpets and Flooring has you covered on that too.

Mud Puppies

Guest post written by Rolf Tate

I was on http://www.TexasElectricityProviders.com/ the other day researching better power rates and paying bills when I heard all sorts of ruckus in the front yard. I go out only to find that our two dogs, Knox and Kaylee, are covered in mud, literally from head to toe. Now, I know you know the look I’m talking about, but it baffles me every time I see it. Somehow a dog can go from a furry little rascal to a precious human personality in minutes when they do something wrong. They both looked at me with these wide eyes and half-tucked, half-wagging tails, saying, “What? We were just playing. Sorry, mom”. Of course, I’m half trying not to laugh half trying not to cry. I don’t even know where to begin to clean them off. I go inside for towels and have a brilliant idea. Leave them. Now, I know this is a mean-wife move, but I knew Jerry was coming home within the hour, right as I had to leave for yoga. So, I did it. I took off and left those muddy babies in the yard. And came home to two clean pups. My husband is a saint.

Find an apartment in Calgary, Alberta

In 2009, my daughter and I embarked on the trip of a lifetime. We drove from our home in East Tennessee to Alaska. Our route home took us through Alberta in Canada. Driving by the site of the 1996 Olympics made us wish for a spot in one of the Calgary Apartments. If we ever get to stay for awhile a short-term apartment might be a viable option.

My 2009 photo of Olympic Park in Calgary.
Calgary, Alberta has a lot going for it. The people were friendly in every place we stopped. We heard more than once that the city has a low crime rate. It seems like a friendly place to live.

Through the website for RentCalgary.com you can find apartments in every area. They have listings for almost every place from rural Alberta to Southwest Calgary. They can also help you find affordable apartments in the north east near the Sunridge and Marlborough Malls.

The website is easy to use and very user friendly. Click the colorful map for the area you are interested in living. Narrow options by searching for price, number of bedrooms or the type of apartment you need. The system allows you to find duplexes, basement studios or multiple room apartments.

Click the link to find out more about a property that catches your eye. That's where details about deposits and amenities are located. Photos are posted there as well as floor plans and contact information. The system even allows you to email the landlord to find out more.

When looking for apartments in Calgary this site looks like a good asset to have.

It's amazing what you can do with a prefab building these days

My husband received another flier today about metal prefab buildings. It wasn't that long ago that these structures were used exclusively as aircraft shelters. Now you see them almost everywhere these days. I think about this every time I walk into a Sam's Wholesale Club or into a Wal-Mart.

They are sturdy and inexpensive if utilitarian. The buildings can be used to fit almost any need. Other big box retailers use them. They are also popular with schools and churches.

When we lived in North Carolina I had the privilege of speaking in a church. Every church says that they want to reach out to the youth of a community and grow. This church took the prefab building and outreach possibilities to the next level and beyond.

The entire prefab building had been planned from the ground up. A church committee had planned what they wanted the building to become before it had ever been ordered from the manufacturer.
Because the church wanted to use the prefab building as a disaster shelter the building had to conform to a set of specifications. I don't know what the specifications were but I can't see that they forgot any of the details.

About three fourths of the walls in the building were lined in carpet and padding. It turned out that this was to allow the kids to roller skate in the building. A DJ booth on the side wall kept CDs spinning and there was a large stage and altar area in the front.

Even better is the fact that the building served its purpose. When a hurricane came in the church became a disaster shelter. When Friday and Saturday nights roll around the kids use it as a local hangout. It's amazing what you can do with a prefab building these days.

Get info on Spine Surgery in Atalanta from Dr. Erik T Bendiks, M.D.

Are you needing a second opinion or consult on spine surgery in Atlanta? Dr. Erik T. Bendiks, M.D. can help you with that. He is a board certified orthopedic surgeon and a Fellow of the American College of Orthopedic Surgery. 


Opinions and treatment options can vary for neck and spine pain or other back problems. For run of the mill back pain a first treatment can mean physical therapy. Sometimes though, the problem will be more severe than physical surgery can handle. When this happens, your healthcare provider or doctor may want to consult with an orthopedic surgeon.


Procedures that may be considered when treating back problems that are specific to Dr. Bendiks are:

  • Bendiks Percutaneous Lumbar Fusion
  • Bendiks Stenoplasty for Spinal Stenosis
Other treatments for both neck problems and back problems are available. No two patients are alike. Each person is an individual and should always be treated as such. Treatment options and opinions are based on your own personal symptoms and your individualized treatment plan. 



Many doctors and insurance companies suggest that you get a second opinion before any type of surgery. Dr. Erik T. Bendiks, M.D. is affiliated with seven Atlanta area hospitals. As a spine surgeon and researcher he is qualified to be the surgeon of your choice or to render second opinions.


Sometimes, it won't even be necessary to come into the office. If you need an opinion on an MRI you can get a free review right over the telephone. All you need to do to get this going is visit their website through any of the links on this page. You will find a MRI Review and Consultation Request Form to fill out. 


Your best chance to get the best healthcare is to be an educated patient. Visiting the website for this orthopedic surgeon in Atlanta may be the first step in helping you get the healthcare that you want.

A word about payday loans online for holiday cash

Payday loans can solve a temporary cash crunch. We’ve all seen the traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Now, this possibility exists in the online world. When you apply for payday loans online your application can be processed in just a few minutes. The deposit will be made into your bank account the next day.

Bank and change graphic by Gayle
Payday loans online are for those of us who need an occasional boost. It’s for those little emergencies when we need a little cash to get us through until our paycheck rolls around. They aren’t designed for people who can visit a bank to take out a regular loan. Your credit report isn’t checked.

As with any time you borrow money it’s important to pay attention to the pay back schedule. Repayment is due when you get paid. Payday loans online can get you out of a tight spot. They can also be helpful during the holidays or other special times of the year.

Take a look at these websites for more information

Try Blue Sky Scrubs for gifts for medical professionals

Medical wear from Blue Sky Scrubs might just be the perfect Christmas gift for your special someone. At one time or another, almost everyone in the medical field will need a set of scrubs, lab coat or cap. Everyone needs a pick up and again. If you’re a medical professional, these might make the perfect present to purchase for just for you.

Students who are enrolled in nursing school definitely need a set or two of scrubs. Every nursing uniform must conform to the guidelines set forth by the school or job. Often there are specific colors that have to be worn. A set in the right color can be the perfect gift for medical professionals and for the nursing student or nurse in your life.

Lab coats are needed by medical students, phlebotomists and some nurses. These help protect clothing. The large pockets are designed to hold many of the supplies that will be needed throughout the day. Owning one lab coat is a necessity but two or more are even better. Lab coats may be a gift for medical professionals that’s worth considering. These can make good gifts for birthdays, Christmas, graduation or just because.

A scrub hat is often a necessity when it comes to uniforms. Different styles are available. Most hats work well for people with short hair. People with long hair may find that finding the right hat could be problematic.

Accessories can be a fun choice for gifts for medical professionals. Lanyards, bracelets and earrings that match a set of womens scrubs all work well for gift giving.

When you’re looking for a gift for a medical professional there are dozens of practical options for everyday use.

Handwarmers can help protect snowboarders during winter

The chill in the air means that it's almost time for winter activities. Being active in winter is just as fun as sports and games are in the summer. Hunters are getting ready to go out. Kids are looking forward to hours spent gliding on ice skates. Teens and young adults alike are gearing up for skiing and snowboarding.

Placing a hand warmer inside a pair of gloves or mittens can go a long way toward keeping warm outdoors. These small square packets fit neatly inside your gloves or mittens and can provide heat for hours.

It's important to protect yourself from the cold. Even standing in line to watch a holiday parade can leave you chilled. At holiday events it's not unusual to see people wearing coats and wrapped in blankets trying to keep warm. 

You can also get warmers for your feet. These work the same way as the hand warmers mentioned above. Slip one inside your shoe for hours of warmth.

Why come in from the winter fun one minute earlier than you have to? A warmer can be especially helpful if you're out there on one of the new Burton snowboards. Both new riders and progressive riders can use hand and feet warmers. 

Are you looking for a stocking stuffer or birthday gift for your snowboarder? Don't forget to pick up some of these warmers. There's no doubt that they'll thank you for them.

TutorVista can help your child succeed in math

The end of summer doesn’t just mean a change in seasons. It means back to school for children across the United States and for many across the globe. Today, it is more important for students to earn high marks than it has ever been before.

TutorVista is the number 1 online tutoring resource worldwide. They offer tutoring help for any class and any grade level from Kindergarten through college.

Math tutors are in especially high demand. Whether the student in your home is taking Algebra 2, 5th grade math or 4th grade math TutorVista can help.

One of the best things about TutorVista is that they are available 24/7. This means that your student can receive help on your schedule. This eliminates the mad dash to go from school to the tutor and then to soccer practice or to get home for dinner. Your student can receive help according to the schedule of your family and not the other way around.

You don’t always think that an online tutoring program can offer help with adding fractions or finding the formula for volume. These are some of the areas where TutorVista can make a difference. They say they can even help with graphing linear equations (just in case you need to know).

If you are looking for online tutoring TutorVista may be the resource to consider.
