Losers Of Love Life is never fair to everyone. Sometimes you wonder why is it that when help is needed at the most important time in one’s life, the person you turn to most seems to turn away. People can get engulfed in their own thoughts, or the thoughts that are implanted into their heads by people who have no direction in life. Sometimes you may know someone who talks a big game about everything they do in their life, but everyone around them knows they are doing nothing. Sleeping, eating, going to the bathroom, complaining, whining to mention but a few things can become a career to a loser. Some losers are born losers, I truly believe that. To know one of these people is very sad. It’s even sadder when this loser injects negative thoughts into an innocent person who can only hope for the best things in life. A strong relationship starts with a strong heart. What makes a strong heart in a relationship? It’s the amount of abuse it gets, yet keeps on loving. A born loser is a user. They use emotions to hurt those that believe in them. A loser steals from them. They steal hope in what they believe. They steal faith from them; they steal time, which is so precious to so many.

What a loser cannot steal annoys them. They cannot steal the human heart. Only love can do that. The same love that keeps a heart beating the rhythm of time, the rhythm of faith, the rhythm of hope and most of all the rhythm of love. Sometimes the heart skips a beat, it skips a beat to get itself in rhythm to the things around it, which are there only to make it think it can no longer beat. Little does a loser know that a true heart stops for no one, the heart skips for love and stops for god. A loser can only try to stop a heart from loving someone but they cannot do it. They may think they can, but it takes time for them to realize that they cannot. When it becomes too late for the loser, the loser then realizes it gave away time, faith and love only to then feel what pain feels like when it comes from the heart. Losers must learn to skip a beat, and get in rhythm with love to live a healthy and full life. To be around a loser is sad, when they realize the one person who stood by them, thru bad times as well as good times, hurts for the love they lost to insure the loser the love they had and still have for them. Only then will the loser understand why they are truly a born loser.

By Andrew Walsh Brooklyn began long before Columbus landed in the New World. Brooklyn was located at the southern tip of Long Island. Long Island was inhabited by a group of American Indians called the Lenape, which means “the People.” They included the Nayack and the Canarsee, they planted corn and tobacco and always fished in the rivers nearby. When the Dutch, settled in Manhattan in the 1600s, they called their neighbors “river Indians” or “wild people.” They began to buy land across the river in 1636. In the 1680s the native people had lost all claims to there, heavily forested landscape. The Dutch founded five villages: Bushwick, Brooklyn, Flatbush, Flatlands, and New Utrecht. Gravesend, a sixth village, was founded in 1643 by Lady Deborah Moody. The British captured the Dutch territory in 1674, and gathered the six villages into Kings County. Slavery flourished in these rich farmlands during the 18th century. Slavery wouldn’t become illegal in New York State until 1827. British troops destroyed George Washington’s inexperienced Army in 1776 during the battle of Brooklyn, which ranged from Gravesend to Gowanus. The army escaped by sailing across the East River to Manhattan during a foggy night. The British Army decided to occupy Manhattan and Brooklyn for the duration of the war. The village of Brooklyn was across the East River from Manhattan, it was the point, which
all the food grown on Long Island’s farms passed to New York City. The U.S. Navy opened a shipyard on Wallabout Bay in 1801, and Robert Fulton began a steam-ferry service across the East River in 1814. Brooklyn Heights became the point at which wealth business owners would live to be able to sail to Manhattan and go about their business. Between 1840 and 1845, the population of Brooklyn doubled to nearly 80,000. In 1855, nearly half of Brooklyn’s 205,000 residents were foreign-born; about half were Irish, with the rest evenly divided between Germans and Britons. A second wave of immigration began in the late 1880s. People from Eastern Europe, including Russian Jews, Italians, and Poles, along with a mixture of Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, and Finns, filled the city. The New York Bridge Company was founded in 1865 and constructed the Brooklyn Bridge, which opened in 1883. The bridge brought a new wave of people into Brooklyn: immigrants seeking relief from the high rents and small apartments of New York City. Innovations in transportation, funded by tax dollars from New York City, brought new bridges, trolley lines, elevated railroads, and subway lines that extended farther and farther into the heart of the borough. Trolleys began to ride the streets of Brooklyn in 1890; the Williamsburg Bridge was completed in 1903. Brooklyn’s largest industry, sugar refining, produced more than half the sugar consumed in the United States. Continued on page 8

These Shoes Were Made For Walking with Diabetes! By Nemaan Ghuman, DPM Proper fitting shoes are important for everyone, but for people with diabetes it is literally a matter of life and limb. Diabetes causes nerve and vascular damage in feet that may, without care, lead to complications such as infection, open wounds, and amputation. Good footwear can help prevent these complications. That’s why it’s so important to know what to look for when buying shoes. People with diabetes sometimes purchase footwear that was too small, causing a foot problem, because they had not been fitted correctly. People who have lost feeling in their feet nearly always insist on a size that is too small because without proper sensation, the correct size seems to be too large. Too small of a shoe can cause a blister or abrasion that can result in an ulcer, which can eventually lead to an amputation. When choosing a shoe, first feel the inside of it to make sure that there are little or no seams in the front of it. The shoe should have a broad base and be extra depth, giving the toes plenty of wiggle room. Look for a fairly flat shoe with no more than a one-inch heel. The shoe should have either a Velcro or lace
closure because a good snug heel fit is needed in a proper fitting shoe. Inside the shoe should be a special insert which balances and protects the foot to alleviate diabetic foot problems. Choose shoes made of a material that is breathable. Certainly you should not just go out and buy shoes for yourself if you are diabetic. Your first step should be a visit to your podiatrist. He will be able to tell you if you are at special risk for foot problems because of abnormal nerve function or circulation, or deformities such as bunions or hammertoes. Most diabetic feet can be managed with off-the-shelf shoes. However, in many cases a custom molded shoe is the best treatment. You can purchase these shoes are most podiatrists offices. If you choose to purchase shoes on your own, without the recommendation of a foot doctor, always choose a location which has pedorthist on the premises. They will properly measure your foot size and help you pick out the appropriate shoe. Diabetic shoes are often covered by your insurance plan. So call them today or walk on over to your local podiatrist or pedorthist and find out what the best solution is to keep your feet walking a lifetime.

Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus; this is something we have heard over and over again when talking about the difference between men and women. What many don’t realize is besides some difference in the organs we have in our bodies there’s very little that’s different between the two sexes; especially when it comes to working out. Women like to focus on not building muscle but building long, lean bodies that mirrors the body of dancers while men often want to have bodies of superstar athletes or the models sporting the latest Calvin Klein underwear. One thing that’s common here is the urge to carry very little fat and to look good with next to nothing on. No matter where you go, whether you’re a man or a woman being lean is a true sign of good healthy and good fitness. The coveted six-pack abs, or toned-out legs are traffic stoppers in any place you go. It’s the goals that men and women fight to have but fail to understand how to get. So if men are really from “mars” and women are from “Venus” how can they both achieve the goal of having a lean figure? Well it’s not far from what you think. In fact women and men should not train differently. Men are fans of lifting weights while women quickly run to take the famous 6pm step aerobics class. Women think cardio is the way to getting lean while men believe that it’s lifting weights that get them lean. Neither the men or women are wrong in this approach but combining the two methodologies together would help both men and women lose fat at a much faster rate. One distinct difference you will find though with men and women is the fact that women
love working out their abs and legs while men love to focus on their arms and chest. But if the goal is to get as lean as possible, to get rid of the fat; then both men and women need to follow these workout guidelines: 1. Focus on training the body as a whole instead of by parts. By training the body as a whole instead of by parts you not only get to increase the amount of times you can hit a particular muscle in a week but you also more calories are burned. 2. Train like a superstar. Women and men alike envy the bodies of the people they see on television. In order to their bodies try to mirror the workouts they do. This includes sprint workouts, circuit training, spinning, yoga, boxing, exercises again that incorporate many muscle groups at once. 3. Focus on Your Nutrition There’s no doubt about the role nutrition plays in getting fit. While men may eat more protein than women it’s pretty much all the same. Focus your meals around lean protein and complex carbohydrates and avoid drinking your calories. In summary, there’s no real difference between the Jane workout and the Joe workout. Focus on the basics of working out, push yourself to the limit and you’ll achieve the body you’ve all wanted. Geovanni Derice is one of the most sought out in-home fitness coaches in Brooklyn, NY.

MTA’s Sure Bet Again there’s talk about raising the Bus and Train fair. MTA has a surplus of money. Even though the board rejected the proposal for a hike, please keep in mind you will be paying more. So don’t get excited or surprise when it is raised. Just keep quiet and pay. If you don’t pay it, you can’t go to work. MTA knows this, that’s their ace in the hole. Every time they raise the fare they go thru the same baloney. They claim they need the money to improve the trains, the tracks, the service and you should know the deal by now. Nothing really gets better; you just get better
September 3, 2007
as an individual to cope with all the baloney they throw your way. I guess they re-peat themselves to the people who just now are turning into the working class. These are the people who haven’t heard this nonsense before. These are the same people you hear on the television news shows saying, “oh I think the increase will be good. This will mean cleaner cars and cleaner stations.” Ten years from now, those same people will be complaining about yet another increase and worst service. They will also complain about what’s not being done. They will ponder to themselves about hearing the news and saying to themselves, “Wait I heard that back in 2007”. Just like the letters on a train, the MTA has your number.

Show Your Stripes And Mettle With Glamorous Wall Treatment (NAPSI)-Stripes are in. Metallics are in. Combine the two and you have a fashionable look that can add instant glamour to any room. Metallic glazes, like those found in Benjamin Moore Studio Finishes collection, are a brilliant way to achieve this chic effect. They're affordable, easy to work with (unlike real metallic leaf) and available in gold, silver, bronze and copper. Consider also the luxury look of a pearlescent. There are 33 pearlescent colors in the collection, including a classic white, and they're all characterized by a subtle luminosity and sheerness that can bring elegance and grandeur to a space. Alone, these elegant glazes dry to a reflective sheen, allowing plenty of experimentation and artistic license to create opulent tones of precious metals and layered colors. Blended with Studio Finishes Latex Glaze, they become more translucent and can be used to add a shimmering veil over a base color. In fact, that's exactly what was done for a
recent dining room makeover, where wide horizontal stripes wrap around the walls to create a delicious visual treat. The design features alternating broad bands of silver, yellow and gray that continue from ceiling to floorboard, where the border of white molding contributes an excellent accent. The completed look is like a fine woven fabric. The opulent characteristics of the Silver Metallic Glaze are amplified when it's applied over a silver-gray base paint coat, such as Benjamin Moore's Pigeon Gray. The progression of the striped pattern is that combination, followed by Citron and then Pigeon Gray without Metallic Glaze, followed by Citron. The pattern repeats. For more ideas, inspiration, color combinations and techniques, you can buy a helpful DVD through Benjamin Moore retailers or online at www.ben jaminmoore.com. Shining metallic stripes in silver gray and citron add a tasteful touch to this delightful dining room.

Brooklynville When the A train was extended from Harlem to Brooklyn in 1936, thousands of African Americans left Harlem in search of better lives and less expensive housing. Thousands of Puerto Rican immigrants also settled in Brooklyn. The trip from Puerto Rico took five days by steamship, but offered an alternative to the poverty and limitations of the tiny island. Puerto Ricans settled in Red Hook, downtown Brooklyn, and Greenpoint, and many found jobs in the needle trades and cigar factories. By the 1950’s, Brooklyn’s industrial energies began to get smaller. The big factories began to move to cheaper locations, and the ports began to be less active. A lot of middle class whites began to move to Queens and Long Island. Staten Island became a popular place to settle down also. Jewish families began to move into areas, like Flatbush, Borough Park and Brighton Beach. Italian families moved to Bensonhurst. In 1957 Brooklyn was dealt a blow that still lives on to this date: the departure of the Brooklyn Dodgers. They decided to move out to Los Angeles. The Brooklyn Dodgers were a part of

Brooklyn as much as the Brooklyn Bridge. Jackie Robinson was the first African-American player in the major leagues. Between 1954 and 1990 manufacturing fell by one half and the Brooklyn dockyards were abandoned. The Navy yard closed in 1966. The blackout of 1977 became one of Brooklyn’s worst moments. Widespread rioting and looting not to mention arson left us all saddened. The Bushwick area of Brooklyn lost almost 40% of all their retail stores to the blackout. Today, Brooklyn is call home to a hugh immigrant community. People from all over are making Brooklyn their home, from the Caribbean, Latin America, the Soviet Union, Middle East, China and Korea. As we drive over the Brooklyn Bridge (Front Cover Photo By Rachel Berger) you may feel what Brooklyn was and is today. This beautiful borough we call home continues to be a major part of the United States. Brooklyn truly is a melting pot of people from all around the world. The Brooklyn Bridge is the symbol of what Brooklyn was and is. Brooklyn is strength, Pride, and the ability to communicate with one another.

New Computer—Now What? By Dawn Molinero So you bought yourself a new computer. Remember buying a new computer and not activating the security software is like buying yourself a new car and not using the seatbelts. If you bought yourself a PC updating your security software is essential for keeping your new PC healthy. Once your computer is up and running, your most private information—like Social Security numbers, credit card information and passwords—may be stored or transmitted over the Internet. Without updated security software, you can’t be sure that your data is safe from cyber criminals looking to make big money at your expense.
A computer is an investment; meaning proper setup, installation and security software is necessary to make sure you’re protected. If the computer is a present for back-to-school or the holidays, it is especially important to make sure the recipient is getting the most out of his or her gift. Activating pre-installed programs like Norton Internet Security protects computers from cyber threats, data loss and identity theft. Consumers need to remember to renew software subscriptions after the introductory subscription period, typically 30-90 days, ends. Call a local computer store they will be more than happy to give you advice on how to maintain your computer in great working order.

LA OTRA VIDA
Re-think With Kids
Una noche yo soñaba Con las delicias de la otra vida Caminando me encontraba Por un jardín de lindas flores.
Y ví a su alrededor Un rio de aguas vivas Con sus calles de cristal,. Sin nadie que las habita.
Fue tan grande mi emoción Al ver tanta belleza Y disfrutar del aroma De aquellas perfumadas rosas.
Fue todo tan visible Mas´ claro que la luz del día Todo lo podia entender Con tanta sabiduría.
A distancia pude visualzar Una ciudad ensendida A travéz de una noche obscura Su hermosura ella lucía.
Es que ay otra vida allá Más pura y más perfecta Para aquel que escojído esta. Entrara por las grandes puertas.
By Dawn Molinero It can be tempting to leave children alone in a motor vehicle to quickly run in the store to grab a gallon of milk or to pick up dry cleaning. What many parents and caregivers don’t know is that the temperature inside a car can reach deadly levels in as little as 10 minutes. Parents need to understand that a car can never be used as a quick baby sitter, while you run inside a store to get milk or return a prior purchase. Some people feel that leaving a child in the car for about five minutes is no big deal. Think again, it’s a very big deal. We have all seen the parents on television crying their eyes out, talking about how someone just jumped in their car and sped off with their child. Later on

we find the parents reunited with their children, crying and expressing just how happy everyone is that the child is safe. Lets all remember that child was not safe as soon as mom or dad left them in the car to make their quick pit stop at a store. How lazy can someone be, leave your car double parked, get your ticket for blocking traffic and tell the cop how you only ran in for a minute. It’s a lot better than crying to cops how someone took your child. Some parents even leave the car running. The other threat to children is when these inconsiderate parents leave them in the car with the windows closed in the heat. We all need to re-think how we do things, especially when children are involved.
