I Want This Book!!!

Este jueves se inicia una nueva etapa de la serie ‘‘Conociendo me Divierto’’, con la presentación del texto ‘‘Cuentamitos’’.

"Cuentamitos", leyendas del Paraguay en versión infantil

Karai Octubre, el petiso señor dotado con un gran sombrero pirí al que le disgustan especialmente los holgazanes, es uno de los deliciosos personajes pertenecientes a la mitología paraguaya, o a los mitos del Paraguay, que aparecen en el libro infantil titulado "Cuentamitos", que será presentado este jueves dirigido a los más pequeños de la familia, junto a la edición normal del diario. El primero tendrá un costo de 7.000 guaraníes, mientras que el precio del segundo es el habitual de 4.000 guaraníes.

The book is coming out with the Thursday edition of ABC Color, in Asuncion, Paraguay. Noone sells ABC Color here in Canada of course, so I don't know how I will get it, but I sent them an e-mail asking them if they could sell it through the internet and if they accept visa or mastercard or some other kind of payment. It is a book for children about Paraguayan myths, something I have been wanting to get ahold of for awhile and here they are offering it with their newspaper! The first costs 7000 guaranies (just over a dollar US, probably about $1.20 Canadian) and there is another one which costs 4000 guaranies, so not very expensive for me.

Sectes

Il y a peut-être un an de cela, une amie m'a dit qu'elle avait entendu dire certains gens traiter Marie-Jeunesse de secte. Mon mari ne connait pas Marie-Jeunesse, mais il est convaincu qu'Opus Dei est un secte et le livre "Le code DaVinci" n'a fait, bien sur, qu'affirmer ses croyances. Pourquoi est-ce que quand un groupe suit le Vatican et ses enseignements et encourage les autres à le faire aussi, même des personnes à l'intérieur de l'Église le traitent de secte?! La suite logique à cela serait de dire que le Vatican lui-même est un secte! Alors ces gens-là pensent quoi? Qu'ils ont la vérité et que c'est le Vatican qui en a dévié? Qu'ils sont les vrais catholiques, alors que le Vatican n'a pas de bons sens? Il y a presque 15 ans j'ai fait partie de Marie-Jeunesse, avant que ce groupe ne devienne communauté religieuse. Laissez-moi vous dire que Marie-Jeunesse n'a rien d'un secte. Libre à vous d'y aller ou d'y par...

Crashing into Thin Air - Excerpt From Chapter Seven

She was deep into a website project on her laptop when Christian came home later.  She saved her work and closed the laptop. “So?”  She asked, as he sat across the table.  “How was it?” He eyed her.  “You enjoy talking about yourself?” He asked. Joanne nodded. “To a stranger?” Joanne shrugged, “Sometimes that’s easier.”  She said.  “Strangers don’t judge.  They don’t really care.  They aren’t personally involved.” “So you’ve done this before?  Talked to a psychiatrist about your problems?” “Uh, no.  Not really.” Christian shook his head.  “So how can you know you’d like it?  What do you think it’s like, having to go through unpleasant memories that you’d rather forget?  It’s not much fun!” “Sorry.” Joanne replied. “So if you enjoy talking about yourself so much, why don’t you tell me what you were going to tell me this morning?” “You’re not a stranger.” Joanne reminded him.  “That makes things ...

Problems in Bolivia

Now this is what I am talking about. This is what people are fleeing away from, this is why the US has so many illegal immigrants, this is why people have a love-hate relationship with the US, what is the US going to do about it? (From the SOA Watch :) We are writing with grave concern about an emerging conflict in South America´s poorest nation, Bolivia and we need you to take immediate action. Bolivia is facing a critical moment in which the survival of a new era of hope is gravely threatened. After suffering decades of military dictatorships followed by years of economic dictatorship, Bolivia heralded in a new moment of dignity with the election of its first indigenous president, Evo Morales. However, just one month after a recall referendum gave Morales 67% of the vote, Bolivia's secessionist movement has unleashed unprecedented violence throughout the country. After three days of riots, 8 people have died, several government institutions have been destroyed and Bolivia´s gas ...
