Sometimes shopping at the supermarket can be financially frustrating. However, if we focus and understand the options that we have to save, it doesnt have to be overwhelming. Lets consider these tips:
Check your pantry, refrigerator and surrounding areas to establish a list of items. One way to do this is by keeping close to your refrigerator, paper or a whiteboard where you can write down what you need. This way you buy what you need without exceeding and avoid impulsive buying. A weekly, biweekly or monthly food budget is a good choice. This allows you to handle cash efficiently and do an actual estimate of your charges. Be careful with the buy one get one free offers, they are not always feasible. Sometimes we consume one item and the other expires before consumption, resulting in loss of money. Evaluate expiration dates, the conditions of the item, quantity and unit cost. Opt for store brands, they are of good quality and many times at a reasonable price. Compare the prices of other brands of the same product and determine which is the best choice
for you and your pocket. Use discount coupons. Organize them by date and products, it will help when shopping.
Stay focused on your list. Remember that the purpose of the establishment is to sell; establishments organize products so that you buy thinking that Plan meals, this will help rotate and you need a particular item or that it is consume what is in your refrigerator absolutely necessary that you have it. and pantry. This will allow you to use your budget to vary food selections Do not underestimate the offers. depending on the available offers and Usually the products that the help you plan portions, making good establishment want you to buy is going use of your current resources. to be displayed at eye sight or at the reach of your hands. Check lower and Opt for foods that are in season. upper storage and other isles with These prove to be less expensive, similar products. compare. Visit the establishment in days and hours that are not very busy. Being at the supermarket for a long period will prompt you to select items that you do not really need at the time. Eat healthier and promote home cooked meals. This will encourage you to create family activities which in the end will result in extra savings.
Compare price of items in other locations. Sometimes creating two sets of shopping lists to compare price reductions is feasible, but selecting more than two establishments in the end is not necessarily a savings. Estimate whether time spent, effort, and fuel will outweigh the savings.
Remember that the end result of any Do not go to the grocery store hungry. food that is not consumed will result in This will generate anxiety and you will money in the trash; lets put back the end up buying everything you see, savings in our pocket. even without needing it.

Ileana Roman
She was dressed with a friar tuck and tab collar. At a business fair and with much excitement, Missionary Ileana Roman, shared of her new ministry Guerreros de Luz (Warriors of Light). There was a table with flyers, folders, business cards and a team who was recruiting volunteers for their Summer Family Festival. Ileana Roman is from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico and is an educator by profession. She has a Bachelors degree in Special Education from the American University in Bayamon, PR. She also holds a Bachelors in Speech Therapy from the Carlos Albizu University in San Juan, PR. Prior to these studies, Ileana received an Associates degree in Dental Technology from Ramirez College in Hato Rey, PR. Ileana arrived to Rochester in 2001 when she accepted to work for the Rochester City School District (RCSD) as a Speech Therapist and later as a Special Ed teacher. During this time she recalls how challenging it was to adjust to a new country, a new language and without any family support. The first few weeks were particularly very difficult as Ileana had to leave her 2 children in Brooklyn while she looked for a place to stay, furnish her apartment and find transportation. She experienced firsthand what it was to be homeless and the trials and tribulation one has to endure during this period. Ileana only had $100 to get herself settled in the US; bread and water was literally all she could afford for about 2 weeks. Beginnings were tough but the sun would shine her way; her desire to succeed, overcome barriers and her strong faith in God were her motivation. To this day she is very grateful to her recruiter, Rebecca Torres-Linch who went beyond her means to assist her in getting a bed, sheets, blankets and the basic necessities of a home. Soon after, her children reunited with her. Ileana continued to adapt to a new culture and honed on new language skills. One of her personal learning tools was keeping a notebook close by where she would write English words and phrases that she did not fully understand. She would then plug them to the internet to find their meaning. She also met a Chilean teacher who became a good friend and ally and pushed her to the extreme so that
she could lose the fear of speaking E n g l i s h fluently. Elena Escos is now retired from the RCSD but was a great influence in the life of Ileana during her first years as a teacher in Rochester. As an e d u c a t o r, Ms. Roman says that in actuality it was she who learned from her students. Eventually, 5 years had gone by and Ileana was being recognized by her peers, students and parents for her strength in character and her relentless dedication. She loved her job teaching and learning, and has fond memories of her time at Freddie Thomas when she worked predominantly with African American high school seniors. She recalls how patient and helpful they were to her despite many sharing of their tough and challenging upbringing. Ironically, Ms. Roman was teaching a foreign class which in turn helped strengthened her skills -- English as a Second Language. While shes always loved teaching, she also loves reaching out to people. Perhaps because of her own experiences, she has a keen interest for the homeless and the destitute. A worker from a non-for-profit organization appreciated her heart for people and approached her one day. She was asked to consider working as a Residential Counselor. Before she knew it, Ileana accepted the opportunity and soon grew within the organization. She was promoted to Manager, then became a Supervisor and lastly worked as a Director of 5 programs before the position was closed due to budget cuts. Ileana has proven that she is a survivor and a hardworking human being. She currently works as an Inventory Associate where she travels to Albany and other bordering cities but it was during her tenure in the nonprofit organization where her love for people grew stronger and where her

RocOn Times Says Adults Can Still Play

Do you remember playing as a child? That time where you could relax, let loose and just had a good time with games such as Uno, Simon Says, Hula Hoops and Connect Four? Do you miss that environment? Orlando Ortiz, president of the Puerto Rican Festival said, Its my wife and I doing this. We went to one in Detroit a few years ago and we saw the excitement it brought and the level entertainment and we thought it was something that was lacking Well Orlando and Denishea Ortiz is in Rochester community, especially giving Rochester adults the chance to for that demographic or that mature be a kid again. PlayDate Rochester will crowd and that professional crowd. be launched May 25th at the Diplomat Party House. It will be a night filled PlayDate Rochester will provide an with music, food, dancing and games environment where people; single or for adults looking for a fun and friendly married, in their 20s or in their 50s, can night out. get a genuine interaction that breaks down the barriers typically found at a bar or nightclub. It offers several old fashioned games at an affordable price such as Dominoes, Spades, Scrabble, Checkers, Taboo, Twister, Jenga, Monopoly, and more. Its not like a regular club night or bar night. Its different to where people that dont typically go out on the weekends because they dont want to go to a bar or a club, would go out to a PlayDate event, Ortiz said. This is the first time that a PlayDate event will be in Rochester. Ortiz said he isnt sure how many times this even will come to Rochester but he is hoping that it will be quarterly. PlayDate was first launched in Atlanta in 2005. Since then, it has been launched in over 30 cities around the U.S. Ortiz has founded the RocON Times brand and partnered with PlayDate USA for this event. The company that my wife and I created for Rochester, PlayDate USA is going to be under that brand. Its our first major event. We hope to put more major events under the RocOn Times.

All About Immigration:

Los Centros de Cuido Diurno sufren debido a la disminucin de fondos
WASHINGTON (AP) This may be the year Congress decides what to do about the millions of immigrants living illegally in the U.S. After years of gridlock, there are ideas whizzing all around Washington. For now, all eyes are on an 844page Senate proposal with the yousaid-a-mouthful title of the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013. Look for the Senate Judiciary Committee to take its first votes on the legislation on Thursday. Whats in that bill? Is there a Plan B? And who are all these immigrants, once you get past the big round numbers? A big dose of facts, figures and other information to help understand the current debate: Talk about comprehensive residents, and more than 11 million immigration reform generally are in the country without legal centers on four main questions: permission, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, a private research What to do about the 11 million- organization. plus immigrants who live in the U.S. without legal permission.

The cards had been a variety of colors over the years. New green cards are good for 10 years for lawful permanent residents and two years for conditional residents.
THE A-WORD
Nothing stirs up a hornets nest like talk of amnesty for immigrants who are in the country illegally, although theres a lot of disagreement over how to define the term. A 2007 effort to overhaul the immigration system, led by Bush, failed in part because Republicans were dismayed that it included a process to give otherwise law-abiding immigrants who were in the country illegally a chance to become citizens. Critics complained that would be offering amnesty. All sides know its not practical to talk about sending 11 million-plus people back to their countries of origin. So one big challenge this time is finding an acceptable way to resolve the status of those who are in the country illegally. Backers of the Senate bill stress that those who are in the country illegally would have a longer and more difficult path to citizenship under their plan than would immigrants who followed all the rules. Sources: Pew Hispanic Center, Migration Policy Institute, Department of Homeland Security, Census Bureau, Government Accountability Office, Population Reference Bureau, Encyclopedia of Immigration.
WHY NOW?
Major problems with U.S. immigration have been around for decades. President George W. Bush tried to change the system and failed. President Barack Obama promised to overhaul it in his first term but never did. In Obamas second term, hes making immigration a priority, and Republicans also appear ready to deal.
IS THERE A PLAN B?
And C and D.

Why the new commitment?

Obama won 71 percent of Hispanic voters in his 2012 re-election campaign, and he owes them. Last years election also sent a loud message to Republicans that they cant ignore this pivotal voting bloc.

Census figures show that between 1960 and 2010, immigration from Europe declined while the numbers coming from Latin America and Asia took off. As the immigrants points of origin changed, so did their destinations. Concentrations shifted from the Northeast and Midwest to the South and West.

For all the attention being devoted to immigration right now, its not the top priority for most people, even for most Hispanics. It ranked 17th on a list of policy priorities in a recent Pew Research Center poll. Among Hispanics, one-third said immigration was an extremely important issue to them, behind such issues as the economy and jobs, education and health care.

BMI in Young Children

Growing up in a poor household and with parents that wanted to give my siblings and I everything they didnt have; we were taught not to let anything go to waste and this included food. My father, who growing up was extremely poor, would tell us to eat everything on our plate because we never knew where our next meal would come from. Although this was his experience but not necessarily mine, it taught me poor eating habits that I still struggle with today. Therefore, I understand first hand the importance of teaching our young children healthy eating habits and how as adults we play a big part. physical activity and family history are other factors to consider. Boys are considered obese if they have 25 percent of body fat or higher. If body fat is in the range of 21 to 25, it is considered overweight and a healthy body-fat percentage is considered between 9 and 15 percent. For girls, obesity is defined as body fat of 32 percent or higher and overweight as being between 22 and 31 percent. The recommended healthy range for girls is between 14 and 21 percent. Keep in mind that children are constantly growing and changing in weight. A childs physical and athletics activities and energy level can alter their BMI to With the dramatic increase in child higher or lower ranges, but can still be obesity, having and maintaining a considered healthy. healthy weight is extremely important for young children.

Editorial
Warren o Richards, escoger entre el menor de dos males

Primero que todo, tengo que aclarar algo: no es un secreto que no soy fantico del alcalde actual de Rochester, Thomas Richards. He sido muy vocal en mis opiniones sobre l. No solamente estoy en contra de la candidatura de Lovely Warren, pero tambin har todo lo que pueda para informar y educar a la comunidad de Rochester sobre porqu NO debe votar por esta mujer. Permtanme explicarme. De joven durante la dcada de los ochenta, me senta orgulloso de observar a mi padre, Mario Vara un cubano que estaba muy activo en la comunidad en la lucha contra la corrupcin y la negligencia policaca. l ret a los oficiales en cargos pblicos a que respondieran a las necesidades de la gente las personas que los haban elegido. Uno de los asuntos que mi padre enfrent fue la falta de una VERDADERA comisin de evaluacin ciudadana en Rochester, una con verdadera fuerza y poder de emplazamiento. evaluacin ciudadana con verdadero poder de emplazamiento para monitorear al Departamento de Polica de Rochester (RPD por sus siglas en ingls), as como investigar los casos de brutalidad y negligencia policiaca. Como es comn, los deponentes, este servidor incluido, nos excedimos del lmite de 2 minutos que se permite para expresarnos. La nica diferencia fue que, cuando yo me exced por tan slo 10 segundos, la presidenta de la Asamblea Municipal, Lovely Warren, le orden al moderador que me apagara el micrfono. Las acciones de Lovely Warren esa tarde consolidaron lo que he sabido durante aos -- que ella y otros oficiales electos, como el asamblesta Adam McFadden parte de una minora- no les importan los ciudadanos. De hecho, muchos de estos oficiales electos han vendido sus propias comunidades y su propia gente; tal y como hizo Adam McFadden cuando camin por los vecindarios pobres del interior de la ciudad solicitndoles a las familias afroamericanas, que sobreviven a duras penas, que votaran por un alcalde millonario.
Traducido por Camilo Torres
como ella. Lovely Warren nunca ha denunciado las injusticias y atrocidades cometidas por miembros del RPD. De hecho, a los residentes de Rochester se les va a hacer difcil encontrar algo que Lovely Warren haya hecho desde que fue electa a la Asamblea Municipal de Rochester en el 2007, o desde que fue electa presidenta de la Asamblea Municipal en 2010. De ser electa como alcaldesa, Lovely Warren ser otro Bill Johnson, quien se postul basado en su Proyecto para el cambio, prometindole a los electores el mundo, para luego venderse y traicionar a las personas que lo colocaron en la alcalda. Lleg el momento de que la comunidad de Rochester, especialmente los afroamericanos y latinos, despierten de una vez y se den cuenta que su voto es algo muy valioso. Tu voto es poder! No lo desperdicies en alguien que no se preocupa por ti.

Mi principal manzana de la discordia con Richards es su posicin privilegiada como parte del 1% corporativo que lo desconecta de las minoras y los residentes de bajos ingresos de Rochester.

Warren or Richards Choose The Lesser of Two Evils

First of all, let me be clear... Its no secret that I am not a fan of Rochesters current Mayor Thomas Richards. Ive been very vocal with my opinions of him. My main bone of contention with Richards is his corporate 1% disconnect with minorities and lower income residents in Rochester. In fact, I find it disingenuous that right before Richards stepped down as CEO of Rochester Gas and Electric (RG&E), he received a buyout of more than $10 million; while hundreds of RG&E workers, with Fast forward almost a quarter century families to feed, got laid off. and as an activist exposing police misconduct and corruption (continuing After former Rochester Mayor Robert my dads work) Im still calling for a Duffy jumped ship and abandoned TRUE civilian review board. my city for personal gain to become Governor Andrew Cuomos right hand In 2011 - shortly after the Emily Good Lovely Warren preventing me from man as Lt.

As is common, speakers, including In fact, Rochester residents will be hard myself, went over the allotted 2 minute pressed to list anything that Lovely Allow me to explain why. speaking limit they are given. The only Warren has done since being elected to 14 15 mayo - 15 junio, 2013 - www.RochesterLaVoz.com As a young child in the 1980s, I felt proud as I watched my dad, Mario Vara - a Cuban native who was very active in the Rochester community in the fight against police misconduct and corruption. He challenged public officials to be accountable to the peoplethe ones who elected them. One of the issues my dad challenged was the lack of a TRUE civilian review board in Rochester, one with teeth and real subpoena power. difference was that when I went over, by just 10 seconds, City Council President Lovely Warren ordered the time keeper to turn my microphone off. Lovely Warrens actions that evening solidified for me what I had already known for years -- that she and other elected officials, such as City Councilman Adam McFaddenanother minoritydo not care about citizens. In fact, many of them have completely sold out their own community and their own people, just like Adam McFadden did when he walked through Rochesters inner city, poverty stricken neighborhood, asking African-American families who are struggling just to eat, to vote for a millionaire mayor. Rochester City Council in 2007, and since being elected as City Council President in 2010. If elected as Mayor, Lovely Warren will be another Bill Johnson, who ran on his Blueprint for Change, promising voters the world, then completely selling out and betraying the very same people who put him in office. Its time for the Rochester community, especially African-Americans and Latinos to finally wake up and realize that your vote is precious! Your vote is power! Dont waste it on someone who really doesnt care about you. Theres a Spanish saying that goes, mejor conocido que por conocer, which basically translates to better someone one you know than someone one you dont. Personally, I wouldnt vote for Richards, or Warren, but I understand you may ask; ok so who should I vote for? Your choice may have to be the lesser of two evils. After all, at least with Richards, we already know what were getting: a white millionaire who doesnt care about minorities. Better than a black woman who feels the same way.

she was destroying us. Dr. Rosa Montero from Spain, who is a consultant for the CentralAmerican Psychiatric Association says: Please lets not add more pain with our prejudices, to the intense mental illness. Psychosis is a serious and chronic condition but if its well treated and well integrated into its surroundings, patients can practically live a normal life. The downside is that these circumstances, good treatment, good integration, occur infrequently, precisely because society rejects them because it degrades and prevents them from being human beings. Right away we call them crazy. In my opinion, the mass media is one of the most responsible for Latinos and immigrants to have many prejudices in this area. When an incident occurs the media saturates the audience so long that, it would seem that the miscalled crazy constitute a major threat to our 12:00 to 1:30pm.

Todays story contains a lot of real situations. A while ago, my friend Oscar and I were talking about butterflies. I also have a friend whose name is Vera she is an artist who paints porcelain. Each year, Vera travels to different parts of the world to show her artwork. This year, she will go to Thailand! All of this is real; it is also real and true that I have no idea what she is painting now. Remember that when you imagine, things are neither good nor bad. Everything is possible in the world of imagination! The book that you are going to create today for your library will take us to the land of butterflies. But before imagining and creating your own book, remember that we have to do various things; for example, ask an older person to read this for you or to help you read it. When you finish, you will be the author of your unique and marvelous bookyour own book!
thing about the vase was what the monarch butterflies had done. They had written an invisible poem on the vase for their friends from Thailand. It had been many years since the butterflies had visited each other and they wanted their friends, the butterflies of Thailand, to know about their arrival. The poem of Eugenias magic vase said the following: In the paradise of your forests, in your hills of bamboo, tea and coffee, I will go to visit you, my friend. When the sun heats the mountains, And the fog has gone far away, The daytime butterflies will let us see each other.

Eugenia se estaba preparando para su prxima exposicin de pintura en Tailandia. Le faltaba ms de un ao para poder completar su creacin hecha en porcelana. Este ao, Eugenia no saba muy bien que pintar, si un plato gigante, un jarrn o qu cosa hacer. Lo ms difcil de todo era pensar en un dibujo para su creacin. As que Eugenia fue a visitar a su maestro de porcelana y entre los dos decidieron que ella hara un jarrn muy alto, lleno de flores y con colores vibrantes. Cuando el dibujo estuvo listo, Eugenia comenz a pintar este jarrn tan frgil y delicado. Cada da, muy pacientemente, la chica se dedicaba a pintar por horas. Ella pintara casi por nueve meses, antes de que su obra estuviera terminada. Eran tantas las flores y los detalles del jarrn, que Eugenia no se daba cuenta, que de a poco a poco y muy sutilmente iban apareciendo lneas doradas, pequeitas, casi invisibles. Las lneas doradas se mezclaron con colores rojos, anaranjados, negros y blancos, hasta que se formaron minsculas mariposas monarcas.
