Amore Real 2
My Random LifeSe aproxima la noche de la velada pero a Humberto lo único que le preocupa son las escrituras de su casa, ya que el usurero se las ha pedido como garantía de que le devolverá el dinero que se le ha pedido para cubrir una nueva deuda de dos mil pesos. Finalmente, después de una búsqueda tortuosa, las encuentra y se las entrega al usurero, quien le da felizmente a Humberto los dos mil pesos. Matilde, quien está muy preocupada por su querido Alfonos como para percatarse de las realidades que la rodean, es la última en enterarse de la velada que ha de celebrarse en su honor e inmediatamente cae en cuenta de que su madre va a tratar de hacer que se case con un nuevo pretendiente. Sixto regresa de un viaje y le comenta a Manuel que la situación del país empeora. Parece que habrá guerra. El día siguiente, Manuel y Sixto visitan al usurero para confirmar sus cuentas y lo sorprenden con unos documentos del ayuntamiento que comprueban que éste le debe a la casa de Fuentes Guerra una deuda de die
TAG on Fact: The Illegal Gun Trade
The Afghexican Gringo95% of the guns accounted for in Mexico, among illegal drug-related crimes, are from the United States. A primary source is El Paso, Texas, the most heavily armed city in the United States, and also one of the safest. However recently in El Paso there has been concern about drug violence from Juarez spilling over the border. Ciudad Juarez is the most murderous city in the world, and is directly across the border from El Paso, coincidentally enough. There have been several reports of shots fired in Juarez that end up in El Paso walls, and on El Paso streets. So far no one in El Paso has been reported shot by one of these strayed bullets, but there is still anxiety over what will happen next. The illegal gun trade and the illegal drug trade run hand in hand; guns are sent down through legal owners in the United States who are usually offered ridiculously large sums of cash for their weapons, and those guns (really big guns) are then used to arm the foot soldiers for the gangs. Shots are

Allovernews's BlogCBP: Man caught with $704K of cocaine by Sergio Chapa Mexican man is behind bars in the Rio Grande Valley after he allegedly tried to smuggle more than $704,000 dollars worth of cocaine into the United States.

Judge Morgan denied bond for Rivera-Razo until a Tuesday afternoon hearing.
Le changement climatique ? Je vais lui dire mes quatre vérités !...
Intrgalaktiklyon's BlogIl est malaisé, pour ne pas écrire risqué, de nos jours, d’envisager qu’il existe peut-être d’autres raisons aux phénomènes de sécheresse extrême ici, d’inondations massives là, auxquelles on assiste depuis quelques années à présent, à échelle globale. L’exercice est encore plus périlleux lorsque l’on est soi-même convaincu d’une pertinence écologique inscrite dans les astres. C’est précisément parce que je ne souhaite pas voir s’enliser dans de dangereux sables mouvants un mouvement que j’estime porteur de renouveau que je m’y risque malgré tout. Les experts, pour reprendre la formule consacrée, constatent tout au plus une tendance qui indique un réchauffement climatique ascendant. Ceci, à ma connaissance, n’est contesté par personne, pas même par Allègre, qui critique un certain obscurantisme, un certain sectarisme, mais a lui aussi été, notamment chez Durand, très approximatif dans certaines de ses réponses, affichant parfois une tendance à la généralisation et à l’excès théorique

I was almost killed when..... (true story)
Rosefirewalker's TeaGardenI was almost killed when a Brahma bull escaped during a rodeo being held in Northern Arizona. My Tata (which means grandfather, in Spanish) sold trinkets, dishes, hats and toys to the Indians living on the reservations in Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico during their festivals and holiday celebrations. My dad would take us to go work with my Tata and one summer we found ourselves at a bull and bronco riding rodeo in a small town in Arizona. He’d park his van, full of toys, dishes, Confederate flags, cowboy hats, bandannas, bird calls, magic snakes and other paraphernalia, so that it made one wall of his stand, which he dubbed “Fun City”. We’d set up three long tables on the other three sides and start to put out the merchandise, with the old fashioned cash register sitting in the middle of the table facing the front of the stand. As soon as we arrived, the moms with their kids would start milling around checking out the new dishware while the kids would start begg

Person of the Week: Texas Governor Rick Perry
Pan American WorldGovernor Rick Perry… [Photo from AP -- On the right, a casually dressed Perry (not Johnny Cash), reportedly the new Chairman of the Republican Governors' Association.] Some of his quotes from Business Week article, November 20, 2010, during the Republican Governor’s Conference in San Diego, California: *“They’ve got to stop all these government-knows-best programs,” he said in the interview. “Quit telling us which light bulbs to have in our house, or which cars to drive, or how much salt we can put on our processed food. Why don’t you do all the things that are constitutionally directed, like defend our border?”… *“I saw people who were really scared for the first time in their lives that their government was so out of touch with them,…” … *Perry said that Representative John Boehner, a fellow Republican expected to be House majority leader in the new Congress, should push the idea of sending federal Medicaid grants to states without procedural

Sunset
Over the FenceOctober 21, 2010 Thursday evening sky Packing up the tents and camping gear is a complex process, particularly when everything must be loaded onto the skiff including any extra people not paddling. Today we had two choices, paddle on the eastern side toward the mainland or down the Baja side. Everyone opts for the Baja side as it has many coves to explore plus it is four miles shorter. Tomorrow’s paddle will be on the eastern side as our campsite will be on a long sandy beach judged to be one of the best beaches in the world. I ride in the skiff—I think everyone is tired of my handicap but most particularly me! I fall again today—twice, once in the lady’s bathroom trying to balance myself—no handicap bars on the canvas screen! The rock was crumbly and I landed on a small pile of driftwood and hoped that there were no scorpions or biting things in that pile. The second time was getting off the boat-wet with spray—I swung one leg over the rail and then the second and promptly found mysel
Newsline: American Consulate warns of carjackings
Diplomatic BriefingA wave of American citizens getting carjacked south of the border in San Fernando has prompted officials to issue a new travel warning. The American Consulate in Matamoros recently issued a warden’s message after several reports of highway carjackings in central Tamaulipas. According to the warning, numerous American citziens have reported getting carjacked on the highway between Ciudad Victoria and San Fernando. Others have been carjacked on the highways from Reynosa and Matamoros going to San Fernando in and around the communities of San German, La Loma and Santa Teresa. San Fernando is located about an hour south of Matamoros and has been witness to intense drug cartel violence as well as the massacre of 72 Central and South American immigrants. The warning said there is no pattern to the carjackings. They have taken place at different days of the weeks and different times. Old and new cars with American and Mexican license plates have all been stolen. Most victims reported t
