Poets Salon Every Thursday Night
Poetry Workshop as always, this Thursday, 6 PM to 9 PM in Pasadam CA.
This Thursday evening, April 10, 2008
we will welcome Sam Bills, manager
of our local Ten Thousand Villages.
Sam will share the story of
Ten Thousand Villages, which markets the handicrafts
of artisans worldwide, and tells their stories.
It is a locally operated non-profit retail store,
governed by a volunteer board of directors and
staffed by over 70 volunteers and a small part-time paid staff.
The Pasadena store is one in a network of over
100 Ten Thousand Villages fair trade stores in North America
whose efforts improve the economic status of artisans in
developing countries.
Our local store will present our Poets on Site
performance as a celebration
of the Earth on Thursday April 24, 7:30 PM.
Our poems and music will celebrate Fish Canyon Falls,
Eaton Canyon and other natural beauty. (Please
email your poems during the next week
for our booklet to accompany the performance.)
Bring 20 copies of any poem for workshop if
possible. We have a copier, but it is important
to come early if you need copies. as always,
listeners are welcome to comment and
observe. You do not need to have a poem
to participate. Fresh viewpoints are always
Last week, we had a full and excellent workshop,
finishing close to "on time".
Please write as much as possible on the poem pages,
to give the readers full benefit of your listening.
And be sure, as always, to make your verbal comments
short, so as to give everyone a chance to read and speak
about the poems. Poets have asked interesting questions to direct the
comments and receive the kind of feedback they would most
appreciate in the time allowed! Save your special longer comments
for writing on the page, conversation after the workshop,
and follow up talks and emails.
Thanks to everyone for great commentary
and a wonderful evenings together, such good spirits
and sharing. Some photos follow,
of last week's workshop and shinobue
performance by Rick.
Thank you Debbie for sharing tanka journal information
last week!

Thursday Night Poetry Salon January 10, 2008
Dear local poets and friends,
We look forward to seeing you this week
at our Thursday evening gathering.
Poetry Workshop 6:30 to 8:30
(dinner served throughout)
followed by 8:30 to 9 P.M.
Musical entertainment will be a continuation
of the historical flute demonstration Rick gave, this time
featuring duets on copies and
original flutes from renaissance to 19th century.
Our friend Harry Bower from San Francisco
and Rick Wilson will perform. A special treat will be
duets on two renaissance bass flutes (you have not seen
that flute yet). Few makers have constructed
copies of the bass renaissance flute, so the fact
that both Rick and Harry own one,
made by a friend in Paris-- putting two in the same room...
gives us quite a rare experience. You will love the
haunting sound of these elusive instruments.
Bring 15 copies of your poem (if you need copies,
we have a copier here, try to do this as soon as you arrive.)
We have copies of Justin's great magazine
"Behold the Pirate Pig" available
for $10. (Several of our members are
included) Also a poem by Pauli Dutton was
recently published in the delightful
Shakespeare's Monkey Revue, issue #2.
We have one copy here for display, and I have
ordered more --they will be $5 each.
See above two photos from last week. The first shows some of our
poets during the workshop. In the last you can see our much
appreciated friend Harry singing "Some Old Songs" with his ukulele.
His Indonesian inspired tempeh curry and salad, followed by black rice
pudding were loved by everyone.
Our new ideas for commentary have been wonderful, and as long as we
all cooperate by being brief and aware of time, we see them demonstrated
as adding a rich level of interaction to the workshop.
Hope to see you all soon. Thank you for your happy participation
and wonderful poetry.
I love these poets (Kath)

October 11, 2007 Thursday Night Poetry Workshop and Review
A great series of Thursday Night workshop readings, entertainments and review these last few weeks! Last week we celebrated Justin Kibbe's birthday and Sharon Hawley presented the story of her 120 day solo bike ride this summer from Virgina to California, complete with a chapbook of poems from the trip.
This week we are looking forward to an enthusiastic group, 6:30 pm at Kath and Rick's 439 S Catalina Ave, in Pasadena. As an alternative venue-- and if it is more convenient to you--we are suggesting any poets who would like to go to Book Soup for a reading and signing by Sharmagne Leland-St. John to do so. It is at 8818 Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles. We'll expect a full report next week if you go! We'll miss you but we want to support this event --so let's be in two places at once.
In related events-- Kath, with help from Sharon, initiated the Caltech Poetry Club a couple of weeks ago at the Caltech Club Fair, and we are hoping for participation with them, some good events at Caltech, and featured readers there from our local group. Don Campbell has been conducting a poetry class for teenagers in Pasadena and several Poets here have read at the class, Monday Night Poetry this week featured fantastic poets Ruth Nolan and Jeff Green from Palm Springs, who presented a chapbook made especially for the event. Sample to be seen at tomorrow's worshop. More soon about details. Welcome all poets.

Thursday Poets Workshop at the Wilsons: Can it be as good as last week?
Last week's Thursday Night Poetry Workshop at the Wilson's was the largest ever, and a great success as you can see from the smiles above. Seventeen poets attended, with most reading recent work. Afterwards Rick Wilson gave a short performance on his fujara, a Slovakian traditional shepherd's flute, acquired two weeks ago on our visit to Bratislava.
This week, tomorrow, Thursday, August 2, at 6:30 pm we'll have an Asian evening, again at Kath and Rick's with Asian dinner snacks and a repeat performance of the music we did on Sunday for our "Rattle of Bamboo" reading, the annual anthology of our Southern California Haiku Study Group. Rick will play two Japanese flutes, shinobue, and ryuteki and one Chinese flute, a jade dizi. Kath accompanies on percussion. The photo above was taken after our Pacific Asia performance, with Debbie Kolodji, moderator or the Haiku Study Group.
Related Upcoming events: On Saturday, August 4, Mira Mataric and her husband Gene Schultz will present a program of slides, music and poetry: "Travel to Sweden"-- at the Pasadena Central Library, Donald R. Wright Auditorium from 2 to 5 pm.

Shakespeare in the Park for Poets' Night, Thursday, July 19, 2007
This week poets will meet at Garfield Park for a performance of "The Taming of the Shrew" at 6:30, performance starts at 7 pm. More details below! Those who had to leave early last week missed Rick playing his new fujara pictured above. We bought this 5 foot "shepherd's" flute on our trip to Bratislava. It has three fingerholes, and is known for its haunting melodies. We had a great workshop with eight reading poets in attendance and three other listeners. Kath made light Slovakian food, a traditional potato soup with caraway seeds, and sausage sandwiches (both vegetarian and other) all reminiscent of our recent travels. Following the slide shows, and film clips, we showed films of a traditional Slovakian music and dance from Bratislava, as well as a performance by the Vienna State Opera doing Mozart and Strauss that we attended in Vienna on our one day there. Here are the details for tomorrow's Shakespeare in the Park special event:
As special event tomorrow, Don Campbell designated this as
"Shakespeare Night" (the play's the thing) --so
this will replace our usual Thursday workshop.
On Thursday, July 19th, the ever totally free Shakespeare by the Sea
is performing The Taming of the Shrew in Garfield Park, South Pasadena.
The play starts at 7:00 p.m., but try to get there at 6:30 like normal, and meet in front of the stage... so we can set up our lawn chairs/blankets next to each other. Everyone could bring a picnic dinner (or grab take out on the way to have during the performance.

Thursday Night Poetry July 5, 2007
Everyone is expected at Thursday Night Poetry tomorrow, Don Kingfisher Campbell will welcome you all at the Wilson's as usual even though we're in Bratislava right now at another math conference. You can follow our adventures at our home page Last week's entertainment at Thursday Night Poetry was one of our favorites. A fascinating and unusual presentation of bt Asuncion Ojeda and her niece, Sarah Kimbrough of kulintang music, a traditional music from Mindanao island in the southern Philippines. Asuncion and Sarah are students/performing members of the Reseda-based World Kulintang Institute, which was founded by master teacher Eleanor Academia. Philippine kulintang represents only one of the many gong-chime traditions found in southeast Asia, and it is an art which is, unfortunately, in danger of extinction. The music, which dates back to the 3rd century, A.D., presents an organic interaction between melody and rhythmic modes. More photos of that evening soon. For July 5th's meeting, Kath made a rich curried vegetable stew, which will be served, and Rick left a slide show of our Canadian and NY trips of two weeks ago.

Afterwards, Rick will provide the entertainment, a presentation of his rare crystal glass flute, made in France by Claude Laurent in 1834.

Tomorrow is Bellydance Night at the Poetry Workshop. We'll expect to start poetry workshop and Critique at 6:30 PM along with a rich middle eastern lentil soup Kath is making for poetry dinner, with some hummus and pita pockets, and after that, at 8, Kath will attempt a solo version of our dance show program from this last weekend (unless any friend bellydancers come to rescue her, and join the entertainment). After that we can relax and watch the "real thing" Rick's film on dvd of the Friday night performance, and have some of Kath's specialty... pumpkin cheesecake...in progress as I write. Rick will show another favorite from the Dance Show, one of our more experienced members, Christy Canaria dancing with a sword on her head, and our guest (leaving tomorrow early), fabulous dancer Kristina Cañizares doing her act at Gitani Restaurant in Burbank on Sunday. In fact, Kath's new poem, to be read tomorrow is a tribute to her and her dancing, so you'll see what I'm talking about!

Poets in Love: 2/14/07 Wednesday Evening Poetry
It was an unusual night, see the Valentines Poetry Party, newly hosting the 6:30 Wednesday Evening Critique at Kath and Rick's. Among the readers were Debbie Kolodji, second from left in photo (see her interesting and poetic livejournal .) Debbie moderates the Southern California Haiku Study Group once a month at the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena. Kath and Peggy Cramer, who also read, attended the haiku workshop last Saturday. Mira Mataric (front left in the photo above, who also hosts wonderful poetry events in the area and in 2005 won the Literary Award Arsenie Charnoevich, from the govenment of Serbia read one of her poems. Jack Chansler, front right in photo, read a beautiful sonnet. Friendly and animated poetic discussions followed. Kath read her "Couplets in Bed" published in Don Campbell's San Gabriel Valley Poetry Quarterly #32. Go to Paypal and send $7 to firstname.lastname@example.com to order your copy of the "Rhyming Issue". As accompaniment to her poem, each guest received a "pink gel marker" (part of the poetic fantasy) which, which she explained... could not begin to measure up to the one in her poem. But still, nice party favors! (We still have some left for next time.) Dinner snacks were Kath's Maltese Minestra (a hearty traditional soup) spicy black lentils, curried corn and homemade cookies. The musical entertainment was a lovesong medley by our friend composer and musician Steven Radice. Rick accompanied on historical flute, and Kathy with voice and Vietnamese DanMo! (You'll see photos on the web page link above.) We made a recording and will post when ready.) Coming this week: appetizers and Wednesday Evening Critique at 6:30 pm, dinner snacks and entertainment at 8. This week will feature "Renaissance Duets" with Asuncion Ojeda and Rick Wilson, a short introduction to the renaissance flute and recital. Please come visit and write Kath for directions!

COLLEGIANS yesterday earned their way into the Premier Section grand final when they defeated Old Xaverians by five points in a slogging second semi-final at Sportscover Arena.
Collegians president Wayne Dyer said both teams were hard at the ball from the opening bounce to the final siren. "It was a real contest all day," Dyer said.
"We're very happy to have the week off, I assure you."
Xavs play De La Salle in the preliminary final at Sportscover Arena next Sunday. De La Salle last week defeated University Blues in a first semi-final goal-a-thon, a stark contrast to yesterday's struggle.
The ground was boggy in the middle and slippery towards the Glenhuntly Road end. There was no wind to speak of; the match was close because neither team would wilt.
The move of the day was the Collegians' decision during the first quarter to take James Jorgensen out of the ruck, where he was being beaten, and replace him with Jono Dixon. Jorgensen drifted into defence and took enough marks to vie for best-on-ground honours. Dixon competed hard at centre bounces.
In Premier C, Beaumaris earned a spot in the grand final against Caulfield Grammarians, as well as promotion to Premier B, when it defeated Ajax by four points in the preliminary final at Sandringham's Trevor Barker Oval.

BELGRADE (Jul. 13)
Yugoslav officials disclosed today that evidence directly implicating Adolf Eichmann in the deportation and extermination of Yugoslavian Jews during the Nazi regime had been uncovered in Zagreb, the Croatian capital, which was the seat of the Croatian, pro-Nazi Ustachi movement.
(Dragoje Djuric, retiring Yugoslav Minister to Israel, making his farewell visits in Jerusalem yesterday, expressed satisfaction that Yugoslavia had been first to support Israel's contention that it had the right to put Eichmann on trial for war crimes.)
The Yugoslav authorities did not describe the nature of the evidence found against Eichmann and did not indicate whether it involved his relations with the Ustachi, whose forces were responsible for the deaths of thousands of Jews, Serbians and others, or his relations with Haj Amin el-Husseini, one-time Mufti of Jerusalem. Eichmann acted as intermediary between the Nazi regime and el-Husseini in the negotiations that led to the formation by el-Husseini of a Moslem Brigade to fight with the Nazis against the Allies. The unit was based in Croatia.

BEIJING – The city of Beijing has banned single-person households from buying more than one residence and increased the minimum down payment for all buyers of second homes as the government seeks to cool the property market.
The city will also enforce a 20 percent tax on capital gains from property, the official Xinhua news agency said. Current rules allow each household with a Beijing residence permit to buy a second home, opening the way for couples to divorce on paper to double their ability to invest.
"This will help to calm people's panic about home prices," said Yi Xianrong, a Beijing-based researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, which advises the Cabinet. "At the same time, restrictions on home purchases don't change the fundamental demand, and it seems the new measures in Beijing are aimed more at short-term problems rather than long-term healthy development of the property market."
Prices in the capital jumped 5.9 percent from a year earlier in February, the biggest increase since February 2011.
The city of Shanghai, where new home prices in February rose 3.4 percent from a year earlier, also issued a notice saying it will increase down payment requirements and interest rates for second-home mortgages, while prohibiting banks from providing credit to third-home buyers.

HOUSTON - A family escaped from their burning northeast Houston home on Tuesday morning.
Houston firefighters said the blaze broke out on Denning Drive near Sterlingshire Street about 4 a.m.
When firefighters arrived, they said they found flames shooting through the roof of the one-story brick home. They quickly started battling the fire and were able to keep it from spreading to a neighboring home.
Firefighters were able to get it under control, but not before the entire roof collapsed.
Homeowner Bobby Lucky said his son woke him up after he spotted flames. The family of three got out of the home without injury.
The family had lived in the home for about a year.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Crist makes misleading claim about Florida health care plan, Politifact finds
In a recent Fox News interview, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist boasted about Cover Florida Health Care, an effort to provide low-cost health care coverage to the nearly 4 million uninsured in the state.
But Politifact found Crist is using sleight-of-hand, comparing numbers that aren't comparable. He has used a higher family number with a lower number for individuals.

text: nerdboy64 718 Report post Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) First of all, I want to say that this is not a professional endeavor. I am very much an aspiring programmer, and this is very much an "in my free time" sort of project. Though I am quite proud of it and hope people like it, I just want to say that I don't claim to compete with some of the far superior things on this site. In short: keep your expectations low. Now that that's over with, allow me to introduce my project. Shipyard is the temporary title of a science-fiction themed, turn-based strategy game which I have been working on for about six months now. The gimmick (and the origin of the name) is that the player builds their ship from individual systems such as crew's quarters, weapon controls, engines, etc. on a 2D grid. Combat is not yet implemented, but it will be based around strategically disabling your enemy's systems until the vessel as a whole is crippled. I'm posting this as a way to A, get people interested in the game, and B, get some feedback on what I have so far. Now, "what I have so far" isn't an awful lot, but if anyone has a brilliant idea or finds a glaring bug, don't hesitate to post it here. I'm also open to suggestions, but please check on the game's website (listed below under "More Info") to make sure it's not already planned..More InfoYou can find additional information about the game, such as instructions for gameplay and planned features, on the game's webpage at http://www.brasswatchgames.com/games/shipyard/. I also have a development log on this site, where I talk about the process of creating the game, which you can find here. Download You can download the latest version of the game by clicking here. Just extract the game files and run the jar file by double-clicking it. Everything else should be pretty self-explanatory. Or, if you're feeling brave, you can try the beta version of the launcher. It does all the downloading and extracting for you, plus checks for new versions. Coming Soon: Ship Combat [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yQHgwmvpE8[/media] This video shows off my progress so far on the upcoming Pre-Alpha 0.8.0 update, which will include ship combat as its primary feature. Screenshots Interior Editor - Allows you to place the ship's systems Weapons Editor - Allows you to place weapons on your ship Exterior Editor - Allows you to decorate the ship by changing the appearance of each tileSome systems, like bridges and engines, have their own exterior design and do not allow tiles to be placed on them.

Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer and the start of the fall movie season. • It's still hot, but at least the movies are getting cooler. • Vacations are ending, the kids are back in school and Hollywood begins rolling out serious contenders for year-end honors. • Six of this year's 10 best picture Academy Award nominees were released after Labor Day 2009. So far, only Toy Story 3 and Inception appear to be candidates for 2011's list, along with the long-shot indies The Kids Are All Right and Winter's Bone. • Scrambling for those remaining, coveted slots will continue into the new year. Let's pace ourselves with a fall movie preview, showcasing eight pedigreed releases from now to Thanksgiving for Oscar watchers, 10 for moviegoers who just want to have fun, and a few intriguing titles with Tampa Bay dates to be announced later. • As always, release dates are subject to change on the whims of studio suits.
Fall Movie Preview: Eyes on the Prizes
THE TOWN (Sept. 17)
Ben Affleck announced himself as a promising filmmaker with 2007's Gone Baby Gone. His followup covers the same Boston mean streets, with a bank robber (Affleck) falling for a kidnapped teller (Rebecca Hall). Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner co-stars as an accomplice, with Jon Hamm (TV's Mad Men) playing the FBI agent on their trail.
WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS (Sept. 24)
Here's a conspiracy theory for Oliver Stone to explore: The current economic crisis is Twentieth Century Fox's way of advertising Stone's sequel, which couldn't be timelier. Michael Douglas reprises his Oscar-winning stocks shark Gordon Gekko, with Shia LaBeouf as the young hustler learning from the master.
THE SOCIAL NETWORK (Oct. 1)
Director David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) should be friended by audiences and critics alike for his dramatization of the creation of Facebook. Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland) stars as co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, who still wades through personal and legal turmoil for the effort. The Social Network also provides the first chance to see Rooney Mara since her casting as Lisbeth Salander in the U.S. remake of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
SECRETARIAT (Oct. 8)
This one looks sharp in the racing form. Diane Lane stars as Penny Chenery, bucking the male-dominated sport of horse racing with a future Triple Crown winner. John Malkovich's turn as flamboyant trainer Lucien Laurin is already getting Oscar buzz. Disney will go to the whip to make this the season's feel-good hit. Hey, it worked for Seabiscuit in 2003, and he wasn't half the horse.
HEREAFTER (Oct. 22)
The words "directed by Clint Eastwood" automatically make a must-see movie. He reunites with Invictus star Matt Damon for the story of a blue-collar guy whose psychic gift links near-death survivors around the world. That may sound too Babel for some tastes, but it's authored by Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon), one of the finest screenwriters working today.
THE COMPANY MEN (Oct. 29)
Another drama ripped from financial page headlines, starring Ben Affleck and Chris Cooper as businessmen dealing with sudden unemployment in different ways. Tommy Lee Jones plays their sympathetic ex-boss, with Maria Bello and Kevin Costner lending support. Corporate downsizing is a tough sell at the box office even for George Clooney, as Up in the Air proved. Awards voters may not mind.
127 HOURS (Nov. 5)
Danny Boyle's followup to Slumdog Millionaire is the fact-based story of Aron Ralston (James Franco), a mountain climber who amputated his lower right arm with a dull knife after four days trapped under a boulder. Being selected for prime slots in major autumn film festivals suggests this is an awards contender.
MORNING GLORY (Nov. 12)
For 22 years since Working Girl, Harrison Ford has dodged the fact that he can be a funny guy. The past decade of serious disappointments has him ready to try again. He plays a grouchy TV anchorman relegated to the happy-talk morning hours and not liking it. Rachel McAdams is the new producer dealing with two disgruntled employees, counting the co-host (Diane Keaton).
Fall Movie Preview: Just for Fun
EASY A (Sept. 17)
Possibly the season's comedy sleeper, with rising star Emma Stone as a high school virgin who helps a gay friend avoid bullying by pretending they had sex. The trouble is: Every wimp in school wants the same deal, so she gets a Scarlet Letter reputation. Comparisons to Mean Girls are expected and a compliment to the funny preview trailer. Stone apparently has her act together better than Lindsay Lohan, though.
LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE (Sept. 24)
The preview trailer reeks of Narnian grandeur and Happy Feet, but the gorgeous 3-D animation of feathers and flight is growing on me. A young barn owl (voice of Jim Sturgess) escapes from an orphanage to join an armor-plated bird brigade to save the kingdom. Films for kids are rare this time of year, so it'll probably fly.
LET ME IN (Oct. 1)
One of my favorite films of the past few years is the Swedish shocker Let the Right One In. Normally the idea of an American remake would be repellent. Not this time, with talented Chloe Moretz (500 Days of Summer, Kick-Ass) cast as the preteen vampire balancing blood thirst with a crush on a new neighbor (Kodi Smit-McPhee, The Road). Please don't change the swimming pool scene.
BURIED (Oct. 8)
Rodrigo Cortes is a lucky director, casting Ryan Reynolds for what could be an art house flick barely recovering its $3 million budget. Since then, Reynolds romanced Sandra Bullock in The Proposal, married Scarlett Johansson and signed to play Green Lantern. Suddenly, spending 90 minutes trapped in a coffin with Reynolds is a profitable idea.
RED (Oct. 15)
Helen Mirren blasting automatic weapons. That's all you need to know to make RED worth seeing, but there's more. The title is an acronym for "Retired, extremely dangerous," which aptly describes former CIA agents (Mirren, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich) targeted for assassination. Mary-Louise Parker (TV's Weeds) is the agency paper pusher along for the ballistic ride.
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2 (Oct. 22)
After the original sneaked up on everyone, details about the sequel are being closely guarded. Katie Featherston returns as Katie, whom we last saw leaping toward the camera, possessed by an evil spirit. The preview trailer is suitably creepy, shot in the same home-security-camera style with a baby in a crib and a hooded figure in the doorway. Very Blair Witch Project (hopefully not Part 2).
DUE DATE (Nov. 5)
The Hangover director Todd Phillips teams his breakout star Zach Galifianakis with Robert Downey Jr. in a comedy that's Planes, Trains and Automobiles without the first two modes of transportation. Downey plays a type-A guy needing to get home in time for his child's birth. Galifianakis is the crazy dude giving him a road trip lift. Hilarity should ensue.
MEGAMIND (Nov. 5)
Take one part The Incredibles and two parts Saturday Night Live sarcasm. Add a pinch of Brad Pitt and you have Megamind. The animated 3-D comedy features the voice of Will Ferrell as an evil space genius constantly at odds with Metro Man (Pitt) in his quest for galaxy domination. Tina Fey speaks for the damsel causing distress to both.
UNSTOPPABLE (Nov. 12)
Denzel Washington needs to stay off trains. Last year he stopped The Taking of Pelham 123, and now he's at the throttle of a runaway train hauling enough toxic materials to kill a city. Oh, there's another train carrying school children misdirected into his path, and a hotshot trainee (Star Trek's Chris Pine) keeps getting in his way. Directed by Tony Scott, who has a knack for catastrophe.
HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, PART I (Nov. 19)
There is light at the end of Hog's Head Tunnel for anyone wondering when Harry and Voldemort will finish it, already. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have more pressing things to do with their careers than plug a franchise that doesn't need it. The showdown is getting closer, but we still must wait until Part II hits theaters on July 15, 2011.

The multiyear study of 16,415 Hispanic men and women ages 18-74 is sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and six other institutes and offices of the NIH. Participants were recruited by Field Centers associated with academic institutions in the Bronx, NY; Chicago, IL; Miami, FL; and, San Diego, CA. The resulting 40 page bilingual report, About Our Health: Results from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (SOL), details trends for each of the communities that were part of the study, nine things you can do for your health, and the Su
Familia Helpline as a resource.
The bilingual publication Let's Talk About Anaphylaxis covers the basics about anaphylaxis, risk factors, treatment, steps families may take to protect their children, and recent federal guidelines to ensure children are protected at school. The Alliance with a sponsorship from Mylan Specialty L.P. conducted this important survey and developed the resource for consumers.
"With the new Spanish-language resource, we hope to close the knowledge gap among Hispanics that this survey has identified. Consumers can also call our toll- free Su Familia Helpline at 1-866-783-2645 to get answers to their questions about anaphylaxis and referrals to health resources in their communities," said Dr. Delgado.
Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with cancer? This bilingual booklet provides those living with cancer, and their friends and family, general information and resources on cancer survivorship. It addresses concerns you may have after being diagnosed; discusses what you should know about cancer, diagnosis, and treatment; and, offers tips on how to follow-up with a health care providers and stay healthy.
Did you know skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the US? This bilingual booklet provides general information on skin cancer including the different types, risk factors, signs and symptoms, and treatment options. It also includes information on the sun's harmful rays, skin cancer detection and diagnosis, and tips on how to lead a healthy life by protecting your skin.
The State of Diabetes Among Hispanics report provides insight on how Hispanics are disproportionately affected by diabetes compared to other racial and ethnic groups, and the risks they face as a result. Hispanics are nearly two times as likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites and the disease has consistently affected Hispanics and African Americans at higher levels than non-Hispanic whites over the last two and a half decades. As recently as 2006, diabetes remained the fifth major cause of death for Hispanics and African Americans, compared to being the seventh major cause of death for non-Hispanic whites. This report also offers recommendations in such areas as research and data collection, risk factors, health care barriers, and diabetes outreach and education to have a meaningful impact on the growing number of Hispanics at risk for, or living with, diabetes in the U.S.
This comprehensive guide to pregnancy includes bilingual information in English and Spanish about the importance of regular prenatal care. The 60-page booklet covers such topics as; what to expect during prenatal visits, prenatal tests and exams, tips to help prevent and relieve common pregnancy discomforts, factors that could complicate a pregnancy, and what to consider after birth. Information is presented in a culturally proficient manner that sends a clear message to the reader.
Until recently, little was known about Latina health. The U.S. government did not even collect statistics on causes of death among Hispanics before 1989. Since then, research has yielded a wealth of new information. The most surprising is that even though Latinas have high rates of diabetes and are more likely to be overweight than non-Hispanic white women, Latinas have lower rates of heart disease, lower rates of stroke, and live longer than non-Hispanic white women, rich or poor. Nevertheless, the health messages Latinas receive are still the same as those of the general population–or worse–focus only on the disparities. These messages do not match the experiences of Latinas nor do they not take into account Latinas' strengths and assets.
No other book addresses this hot topic. Written by Jane L. Delgado, the nation's leading expert on Hispanic health, The Latina Guide to Health features cutting-edge medical information as well as "consejos" (conversational advice) throughout. Authoritative and accessible, this guide includes an "Health facts" section on everything from alcoholism and asthma to depression, diabetes, lupus, and sexually transmitted diseases, as well as sidebars, charts, and website resources.

The Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies have identical 11-1 records since the NBA All-Star break.
The secrets to their success couldn't be more incongruous.
With their rocket-fueled fast-break offense, the Nuggets have won 10 straight games by racing past short-breathed opponents.
With their lockdown defense, the Grizzlies have won their past six games by stifling the opposition into submission.

Is it just me?
Did anyone else see this segment? Technically it's Azamara, but they mention RCL because the name is more familiar.
On the one hand, it gives me pause, because really, what would I do, especially as I often travel alone.
But then it makes me ask...what is expected of the cruise line. And should 89 year olds travel abroad in some of these not too terribly modernized parts of the world?
Elderly Couple Says Cruise Line Left Them in Turkey to Face Medical Emergency - ABC News
It starts out with the media and a large portion of the public that don't cruise, not understanding policies and procedures. Royal Caribbean cruise lines has the same problem that Carnival cruise lines has. That is; that their parent company name is the same as one of the cruise lines it owns, so that cruise line gets blamed whenever something happens to a sister company. The parent company Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited (RCCL) trades under NYSE as (RCL). Royal Caribbean International (RCI) is actually the proper name of the cruise line itself. Formerly, it was known as Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. Parent company RCCL owns RCI, Celebrity Cruises, Azamara, Pullmantur (the European company that is taking all our beautiful old RCI ships), and they also own a couple other foreign cruise lines. Sorry to get longwinded there. Alas; that is where all the media will say it was a Royal Caribbean ship, when it was actually Azamara. Not distinguishing it was a parent company owned ship!
Now for the story. I'm not sure we're really getting all the facts. It seems like the cruise line followed all normal procedures. It says the wife wasn't allowed in the hospital but yet she says the hospital was dirty. How does she know if she wasn't allowed inside?
I travel by myself sometimes too. I think the best thing we can do is have good travel insurance. Most people probably won't do it, but research and write down addresses and numbers of the American Embassies/Consulate in the country you are traveling. I wonder how many people know that on Page 6 of a US Passport #3 talks about Health Insurance and states Medicare/Medicaid doesn't cover health costs outside the USA. It gives advise to look at a medical brochure on Welcome to Travel.State.Gov
I think it would be smart for Carnival and Royal Caribbean to change their corporate names.
Lots of hyperbole in this story (surprise!) and from the various reports you'd think the man and his wife were tossed on a flatbed truck and carted off to POW camp infirmary. No doubt Jay Rockefeller (trust fund baby) couldn't believe his good fortune when he read about it.
I was also left wondering why an 89 year old couple would be by themselves on a cruise in the Med, visiting less familiar ports which Azamara likes to do. All I can say is, I wouldn't do it unless I had our son or someone else younger with us, just in case something happened that needed some intervention. "The hospital was filthy"...gratuitous comment that is purely subjective, and perhaps applies U.S. sanitary standards to a hospital in a country that is just barely not in the 'third world' category. What did they think they'd see? The Mayo Clinic?
I know I am not sounding sympathetic because, well, I'm not. The couple did not adequately protect themselves prior to the cruise by having adequate insurance (i.e., not the cruise line's coverage).
I completely agree...this was a non-story from the beginning. They blame the cruise line for lack of adequate insurance, which anyone who cruises regularly knows is readily available from dozens of other sources.
I sure hope that I am never on a cruise that changes its itinerary and such because one person has a health issue. I go in knowing full well the consequences of traveling to foreign countries. Being on active duty in the military, our insurance covers my family and me worldwide. We are taking my mother-in-law and her husband on our upcoming cruise in January, and purchased travel insurance for them specifically because they are a little older and you never know what is going to happen. It seems to be a small price to pay for peace of mind.
Oh well, the media is going to say anything they can to demonize any money making corporation because it is en vogue right now. Someday, when most of the private corporations are run out of business, everyone will be looking around, wondering what happened to our once rich nation because no one will have jobs.
Take care,
Three good rules for cruising emerge here:1) Travel Insured 2) Have the number of the US Consulate/Embassy with You when You go ashore in a foreign country and 3) Have the number of the cruiseline's port agent handy (Usually listed in your daily shipboard bulletin). Let us all learn from this prime example....insurance, by itself, is not enough!!!
Better and more active cruiseline assistance during any medical crises for needed and necessary Humanitarian Aid would also go a loooong way here. Concern for passengers injuries should not cease once your ship pulls out of port!! Age is not an issue here...lack of Humanitarian Assitance is!!! Shame on Azamara!!!!
Just curious...what exactly do you mean by "More active cruiseline assistance during any medical crises for needed and necessary Humanitarian Aid."?
When a ship has thousands of passengers, the odds that someone will need significant medical assistance are actually pretty good. Are you referring to the ship waiting a few extra days in port for someone to get out of the hospital? Or perhaps paying for the medical care of the displaced passenger? I really think you should clarify what you meant here.
The cruise lines responsibility should include calling for emergency medical care when needed and notifying an emergency contact and local authorities when a passenger doesn't return to the ship while in port. What is the cruise line to do if they are in a port that lacks adequate hospital facilities? The prudent thing to do is to transport the patient to the nearest facility to be evaluated, at which time a decision can be made as to the best course of action. The spouse was complaining that Royal Caribbean expected her to file a claim before authorizing to pay to transport her husband to the hospital in Instanbul...So what? That is standard practice here in the U.S. as well. You usually have to get permission from your insurance company to be transferred.
So, I am seriously interested in what should have been done differently in this case. Remember, there are two sides to this story. Royal Caribbean says that they did help after the ship left port, so please clarify for us where they went wrong.
Take care!
As it ends up, the cruise line is going to cover everything, either by the insurance or directly. Follow up story
Thank you, Dave for posting the follow up article. I cannot understand why the cruise lines keep taking hits in the public opinion polls, only to end up spending the money to rectify a situation anyway. Why not make the smart decision up front? A few thousand dollars is nothing to their bottom line, however, the bad press probably costs hundreds of times that amount.
Now, to my original point...I am tired of the media publishing stories from disgruntled passengers that are full of half truths and incomplete information that are designed to drum up drama and create corporate backlash. Once again, the follow-up article states:
"The cruise line left Melkonian and his wife, Jill, 65, at a rural Turkish hospital that had no intensive care unit.
Pain-ridden, Melkonian waited 24 hours before an insurance-issued ambulance with no doctor or nurse transferred him to an American hospital in Istanbul."
So the hospital had no intensive care unit...and that means what, exactly? Did the patient need to be in the intensive care unit? It is never stated in the article, and based on my experience with broken hips, I doubt that he did. Also, apparently there was no doctor or nurse in the ambulance that he was transferred in...you know what? I was transported in an ambulance to the hospital two weeks ago, and by golly there was no doctor or nurse with me, either. What does that even mean? A broken hip by itself, while a serious injury, is not usually life threatening at all. Of course, the patient was 89 years-old, but again, we have no idea about what was really going on with him, other than his wife was complaining.
Seriously, folks, if you are going to take cruises to foreign ports, you have to take some measure of responsibility for your own safety. The insurance company cannot help it if the local nation's policies refuse to accept a promise of payment and demand payment up front. In fact, this is the policy in much of the rest of the world. This is the exact reason why I take extra credit cards with high limits with me when I go on cruises...just in case something like this happens.
I am sorry for the ranting, but one of the problems in America is our lack of understanding of personal responsibility. Read the cruise contract and tell me where it says anything about the cruise line being responsible for any of this.
Take care and have a great weekend!
Plus, the update story still tosses 'Royal Caribbean' around recklessly with barely a mention of Azamara.
From my personal experience when my wife WAS in immediate need of emergency care, the only time a nurse or doctor was in the ambulance was the flight nurse for the medevac. A 90 mile drive to Birmingham a month later - in a halo for her broken neck, and with broken arm, pelvis, and leg, was only with the EMTs in the ambulance.
To me, these type of stories are a form of extortion on the part of the press and the willing participants in pumping up the issue and not telling the whole story.

I JUST HAD to share this cute picture of my daughter Oaklyn and Brandon Bryant from SYTYCD. I LOVE THAT SHOW, and this weekend Oaklyn had a dance competition and he was a guest at the competition. She even got to take a masters class from him. HOW FUN!!! I kind of wanted his autograph because I loved him on the show. I was totally star struck!
On the flip side, my little one {Creed who is 14 months old} is super sick. We spent the evening at the urgent care clinic, and the Dr. said he has "almost" pneumonia and double ear infections. He is miserable. We got a prescription and the medicine to do some breathing treatments, and I hope he starts feeling better soon. I should have taken him in sooner, but I thought he had a virus since his brothers and sisters have all been sick too and gotten better on their own. Now I feel like the parent of the year. I feel so bad. His fever was pretty low grade before yesterday, but then yesterday it spiked up past 103 degrees. I waited to see the Dr. for nearly 2 hours, but I'm glad I went.
Is it me or has this winter been EXTRA bad with sickness? I'm ready for warm weather and for my kiddos to stay healthy for longer than two days at a time! Have you had a hard winter with sick kids like us?

It's not on the Rand McNally map, or shown in the updated Roads of Texas atlas. But Zabcikville does exist, at least the remnants of it.
Heading east out of Temple, State Highway 53, one of those ruler-straight roads, takes the driver through the hamlet of Seaton. Unencumbered by any scenic diversions, you'll have journeyed about 10 miles from Temple when Green's Sausage House and its parking lot, usually full of cars and pickups, appears on the south side of the road.
Across the highway from Green's stands a restored old store with a Texas Historical Marker. Rich black agricultural land makes up the area and grain storage facilities stand in nearby cultivated fields. Traffic speeds by, the wind blows and — well, not much else is happening.
This place was first called Kocenda, then Lugoville, then Marekville — finally becoming known as Zabcikville when Frank Zabcik, of Moravian descent, purchased the saloon, general store, house and land. The stucco store building with the historical marker was built by Zabcik in 1932 and the community had a cafe, blacksmith, auto repair business, granary and the all-important requirement for small rural towns: a cotton gin. Times changed, the gin closed, and picnics at Possum Creek became fewer as people moved to the city. The town had 80 residents in 1949, 38 in 2000. The majority of the land acquired by Frank Zabcik is still owned by his descendants, and farming continues to be the driver of the local economy.
And it's pronounced "Zahb-chick-ville."

A SHOP owner has been inspired to speak out about his battle with colitis, in the hope of encouraging others not to suffer in silence.
Imran Yousaf, 24, developed agonising stomach pains last August. After two visits to his GP, he collapsed and was taken to hospital.
Medics found he had colitis - a long-term condition, where the large intestine and rectum become inflamed.
The owner of Premier Late Shopper, in Shear Brow, Blackburn, decided to speak out about his condition after former model Bethany Townsend, who has Crohn's Disease (a similar type of bowel condition), posed in a bikini with her colostomy bag in full view.
The picture encouraged thousands of sufferers to post similar images of themselves online.
Mr Yousaf, of Howgill Close, Nelson said he had never heard of his condition before he was diagnosed.
Urging anyone who suffers unexplained stomach pain to get checked out, he said: "Before this I was a fit and healthy young man. I went to the gym everyday and I worked hard.
"When I started with the stomach pain, I just tried to ignore it, thinking that it would go away but eventually it just became too painful for me to stand. I was screaming in agony. Now, I haven't worked in my shop for nearly 10 months."
Colitis sufferers can develop small ulcers on the lining of their colon that can bleed and produce pus if left untreated. In severe cases it can lead to part of the intestine being removed and replaced with a colostomy bag.
It is estimated that around one in every 420 people living in the UK has ulcerative colitis; around 146,000 people.
The condition can develop at any age, but is most often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 25.
Mr Yousaf praised Miss Townsend's efforts to raise awareness of the condition.
He said: "I am glad that more people are talking about it and I think she (Bethany) has done a brilliant thing.
"It has made me feel more relaxed about the future that I will face because I know that will be me one day. Darren Fletcher, who plays for Manchester United, has also said that he suffers from colitis and it makes it so much easier to explain my condition to people when they've heard that high-profile people have it too.
"At first, I was so embarrassed and shy about it.
"I didn't even want to tell my family about it but now, I'm on medication, I am feeling a bit better and I'm happy that the world seems to be more open to talking about the condition.
"I just want to urge people to look out for the symptoms and to get checked out straight away."

Easter weekend travelers and those gas prices
If you drive in South Carolina, you probably don't need to be told that gasoline prices, since Christmas, have climbed 35.9 cents a gallon. Even though Easter is a typical stay-at-home holiday, Easter gas prices always serve as a pre-cursor to higher prices beginning May 1. The motor club AAA Carolinas says May 1 is the national deadline for refineries to start producing less-polluting summer-blend fuel. The transition pressures prices upward because supply becomes crimped. South Carolina prices have been climbing since hitting a low of $3.07 on February 10.

Cardinal leads town hall meeting, novena against assisted suicide
BRAINTREE -- Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley is inviting the public to join a town hall meeting against a November ballot to legalize physician assisted suicide to be broadcast on CatholicTV on Oct. 3 at 8 p.m.
"Join Cardinal Seán O'Malley and a group of concerned Catholics to openly discuss Physician-Assisted Suicide to ensure that the families of people with terminal illnesses will never feel they have been left alone in caring for their needs. The claim that the 'quick fix' of an overdose of drugs can substitute for these efforts is an affront to patients, caregivers and the ideals of medicine," CatholicTV said in an email.
Cardinal O'Malley also urged all Catholics join him in the "Rosary Novena for the Defeat of Physician Assisted Suicide" from Oct. 3-11.
"I invite you to join with me and with Catholics throughout the world for a greater respect for the gift of human life, especially for the elderly and the terminally ill. As the Archbishop of Boston, I am asking people throughout the state of Massachusetts to join us in praying specifically for the defeat of Physician-Assisted Suicide, which will appear on our ballots on voting day as Question Number 2," the cardinal said in his introductory message to the novena.
All families and school communities are being asked to pray the rosary during these 9 days for the specific intention of defeating the November ballot question that would legalize physician-assisted suicide.

TEACHERS, council workers and civil servants are set to strike on Thursday.
The strike is part of national strike action and those in Dorset will be among more than a million nationally joining the strike, which is being supported by a range of unions in protest against attacks on pay, pensions and workloads.
It is the third time members of the National Union of Teachers in Dorset have gone on strike.
Divisional secretary Geoff Cooke said the strikes reflect teacher's anger over the refusal of the Secretary of State Michael Gove to have proper discussions about his 'divisive reforms'.
Members of the Fire Brigades Union in Dorset are supporting the national action as part of a long-running dispute over pensions. Dorset Fire and Rescue Service will be providing a reduced emergency response.
Members of unions locally, including GMB, National Union of Teachers (NUT), Public and Commercial Services (PCS), UNISON and Unite will join the strike which will see rallies organised and picket lines drawn up.
Dorset County Council bosses say plans are in place to minimise disruption during Thursday's strike action.
DCC said there are around 2,000 county council staff who may take industrial action, however, employees do not have to let their managers know before the strike, so full details of any impacts on services may not be available until Thursday morning.
Chief Executive Debbie Ward said: "Although it's impossible to predict the impact that Thursday's strike will have on our services, we are doing everything we can to minimise disruption for Dorset residents.
"Our priority will be to continue to support the most vulnerable and protect our most critical services."
Waste collections should continue as normal and people should put out their bins for collection.
If any collections cannot be completed Dorset Waste Partnership will aim to carry out catch-up collections on Saturday (12). If containers have not been collected by the end of the day, residents should leave them out until the end of Saturday.
DCC said it was the responsibility if schools to inform parents whether they would be open, closed or partially open.
Children's services, adult social care day services, registrars and park and ride services should not be affected.
Most, if not all, libraries should be open as normal.

Neil Henry's future as North Queensland coach is hanging by a thread after his star-studded NRL side slumped to their 10th defeat of the season at Canberra on Sunday.
The Cowboys were below-par in the first half to trail 18-0 at halftime before improving in the second period but going down 26-18 at a chilly Canberra Stadium.
The result leaves them languishing in 12th spot, four points outside the top eight.
Speculation has been rife for over a month that Henry will be relieved of his duties as a team containing the likes of Matt Scott, Johnathan Thurston, Brent Tate and James Tamou continually fail to fire.
Henry remained tight-lipped about his future after the Canberra game and said his side's poor start made it too hard for them to catch a Raiders outfit that have won 11 successive matches at home.
"Trailing by 18 points certainly made it difficult," Henry said.
"We knew the points were there, but we needed to be a lot better with the ball."
Despite the loss, co-captain Matt Scott insists the Cowboys can still make the finals but said the clash with Manly in Townsville next weekend with all of their Origin stars unavailable was a massive game.
"There's no doubt we've made it hard for ourselves, but I have a fair bit of confidence in the players we have," Scott said.
"We have a fair bit of depth and recently we have shown we can lift when we have a fair few players out.
"We really need to win that game so we can go into the bye the following week with some confidence."
Henry's Brisbane rival Anthony Griffin is also under the pump after the Broncos capitulated in the final 20 minutes against Melbourne to go down 32-0 to Melbourne at AAMI Park on Friday night.
That result leaves the Broncos one place below the Cowboys on the ladder in 13th spot and in grave danger of missing the finals for only the second time in 22 years.
The last Brisbane coach to fail to finish in the top eight was Ivan Henjak in 2010 and he was sacked on the eve of the 2011 season with Griffin taking over the reins.
Brisbane are still to announce any major new signings for next season and are losing playmaker Corey Norman to Parramatta and are also set to lose centre Jack Reed for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.
The Gold Coast are currently the only Queensland side in a finals position but their eighth spot is looking increasingly precarious after Saturday's 40-14 hammering by Penrith in Darwin.
Their problems have been compounded a by a litany of injuries to key players such as Jamal Idris, William Zillman and Greg Bird.

Brands Dissertation
There is a dissertation simply a vital looking brand for a lengthy composition – predicated on your personal study. Creating a dissertation can be a fascinating, demanding, gratifying and frequently great knowledge. At the time it can be tiring, timeconsuming, annoying and exasperating.Most dissertations follow precisely the same standard design and so are composed of an abstract: five components strategies and debate, conclusions and recommendations. Even though actual depth of every component can vary (like the variety of phrases permitted while in the abstract), the inclusion of each part is standard and mounted. I like to assess the composition of the dissertation using an orchestral work –'s composition largely your dissertation obtaining a prelude, movements that are major plus a finale. A fantastic guitarist gets an encore also – and so does a dissertation that is great.If your study topic was completed on by you've – welldone! Today you must switch detective – accumulating most of the info confirm and you can to aid your theories and looking for. Now's the full time for gathering together and analyzing the literature in your industry of research; info from everywhere – along with on your doorstep.Getting to grips together with resources' bewildering selection is fairly a job by itself as you will find different kinds of information available. You might well locate all of the information you will need by hotfooting it to your university collection to browsing the World Wide Web and proceeding online.Subsequently composing up a low -scientific dissertation is likely to become a satisfying experience. A low-scientific, or theoretical, dissertation doesn't have any data you've created in any respect. You won't have surveys interviews or observations presenting but you do should handle the design and flow of debate efficiently so your realization is reasonable along with the accomplished bit is defined and apparent.Investigators wish to be able to check out up any guide inside your work by simply flipping to the bibliography and observing all the information you've used in a recognisable and clear structure.Learners typically get into a spin about bibliographies. But making an excellent bibliography can be a rather easy approach to gain points. A properly-created listing of sources can be so you can get a decent quality a requirement and prerequisite. Not attending for the bibliography is really a truly pointless way you'd and to function be irrational to not spending some time with this job.Counseling Psychology + Dissertations

The Regnum Christi Movement offers its members some guidelines of a gospel-based spirituality as an ideal of Christian life. The spiritual path that Regnum Christi members walk mainly consists in knowing, loving, imitating, and proclaiming Christ. This is the path and these are the goals.
Below, we offer some resources that can help nurture the spiritual life of Movement members and of any Christian.
Daily Prayer 2012-11-05
Listen to podcast version here.
Father Steven Reilly, LC
Luke 14: 12-14
went to dine at the home of one of
the leading Pharisees. He said to the host who invited
him, "When you hold a lunch or a dinner,
do not invite your friends or your brothers or your
relatives or your wealthy neighbors, in case they may
invite you back and you have repayment. Rather, when
you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled,
the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because
of their inability to repay you. For you will
be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
Introductory Prayer:
Oh God, thank you for allowing me to come
into your presence. Your love enlarges my soul. I long
to see your face! I come to this prayer
with a thirst to just be in your presence, relax
under your loving gaze. May my presence here be
an expression of my love for you.
Petition: Lord, grant
me the grace to put your interests before my
1. "You Scratch My Back…" "… And I'll scratch yours."
Unique is the individual who doesn't keep at least one
eye on his own self-interest at all times. For
many, life is about leverage, and good deeds are
investments that will reap future profits. In this parable, Jesus
invites us to think outside that human box and
more in the divine one. God derives no personal
benefits through showing us immeasurable love. We can't, after
all, give him anything that he doesn't already have. Maybe
we should be expanding our list of dinner invitations?
The Poor, the Crippled, the Lame, the Blind: Blessed Mother
Teresa lived this Gospel verse in exemplary fashion. The
story is told of a dying man, found lying in
the street and brought to the Missionaries of Charity's
House of the Dying. They gave him dignity that he
had never known: "I have lived like a dog
all my life. But now I will die like an
angel." Sometimes we also have opportunities to help others
in dire need. Sometimes, more often, we can come
to the aid of the person who is spiritually
poor or crippled. Perhaps it is that person who is
always in a foul mood, or that other who
once spread a rumor about me. "Blessed will you be
because of their inability to repay you."
3. Self-interest vs.
Resurrection: Fr. Joe always used to say this about
his priesthood: "The pay is lousy, but the retirement
benefits are out of this world." Self-interest is about getting
the positive payback here and now. True love and
charity do not keep a score card to make
sure that "it's worth it." No, we are living for
eternity. Let's ask the Lord to give us a
better sense of the big picture, to see that those
unrequited good deeds are the best ones. So you
parents of the world, take heart! Your sacrifices will
indeed find their reward, "in the resurrection of the
Conversation with Christ: Dear Lord, how often
I am thinking, "What's in it for me?" Help me
to reach out to others beyond the limits of
my group. Help me to see that you are in
every soul, not just the ones that in some
way gratify me.
Resolution: I will do an act
of charity for someone who doesn't like me.
