What you eat is only half the equation. The other half is your attitude toward food. Follow these simple rules for trimming that tummy!
The Flat Belly Diet follows a few basic weight loss rules:
Include a MUFA at every meal Incorporate a serving of one MUFA-rich food every time you eat to reap the benefits of this amazingly healthful belly-flattening fat. For a list of MUFA-packed foods, read Meet the 5 Flat Belly Foods.
Have a clear calorie goal Consume four 400-calorie meals a day. Significant weight loss requires calorie control. For the average woman, 1,600 calories per day is ideal because it's low enough to create weight loss while maintaining energy and preserving calorie-burning muscle.
Eat often Have a meal every 4 to 5 hours to help control your blood sugar and hunger and keep your metabolism in high gear.
What you put in your mouth is only half the Flat Belly Diet equation. The other half is your attitude toward food and eating. Put these tips into practice:
Manage stress This emotion causes a spike in the hunger-stimulating hormone cortisol, sending you straight for the sweets. And when cortisol is high, extra calories are deposited directly as belly fat.
Ask for help Among people who have permanent weight loss, 70% reported having strong social support, compared with only 38% of those who lost and regained weight. Recruit others to join you (or encourage you), or sign up for an online support group.
Beat emotional eating Keep a food diary, but don't just record what and how much you eat. Journaling about your feelings can help you identify what triggers you to eat and why, so you can break unhealthy habits for good.

50 Cent is all set to appear on Fox NFL Sunday for the pre-game show that airs at 12 pm EST and in order to spread the word, he's released a promo video that has him goading the players with words of inspiration – "When you're on top, you can always count on people trying to bring you down," while there's a clever bit of cross-promotion going on in the background in the form of fif's new single "New Day".
Fif has some energizing pep talk for the players when he says "Can't nobody touch you. Don't forget, many men are scheming to bring you down," "In this game, everybody wants to wear the crown."
So make sure you tune in on to Fox and catch 50 Cent dispense his two cents as the Cowboys take on the Panthers and the Giants sqaure off to the Redskins.

What is LTA?
LTA is an allowance or
assistance received from the employer to employee to travel with his family on leave. Section
10(5) of the Income-Tax Act, 1961, read with Rule 2B, provides for the
exemption and outlines the conditions subject to which LTA is exempt from
income tax.
What is Exemption?
The amount exempt under
section 10(5) is the value of any travel concession or assistance received by,
or due to, him,—
(a) from his employer for himself and his family,
in connection with his proceeding on leave to any place in India ;
(b) from his employer or
former employer for himself and his family, in connection with his proceeding
to any place in India after retirement from service or after the termination of
his service,
It means the amount received
during employment and also after retirement or termination of the service is
also exempt from tax if the other conditions are satisfied.
Family: who all are
The family can comprise
spouse, two children, brothers, sisters and parents, if they are wholly or
mainly dependent on individual. This restriction of two children will not
however apply in respect of children born before October 1, 1998, and also in
cases where an individual, after getting one child, begets multiple children
(twins/triplets/quadruplets, etc.) on the second occasion.
What you are entitled to claim?
Only the actual expenses incurred on travelling with your family within the country can be claimed as exemption under Section 10(5), expenses on hotel rooms, sightseeing, food, etc, cannot be included with this.
The quantum of exemption is also subject to the following maximum limits, depending upon the mode of transport used or available:
1. Journey performed by Air - Economy Air fair of National carrier by the shortest route or the amount spent whichever is less will be exempt
2. Journey performed by Rail – A.C. first class rail fare by shortest route or amount spent whichever is less will be exempt.
3. Place of origin and destination place of journey connected by rail but journey performed by other mode of transport - A.C. first class rail fare by shortest route or amount spent whichever is less.
4. Place of origin& destination not connected by rail(partly/fully) but connected by other recognisedPublic transport system - First class or deluxe class fare by shortest route or amount spent which ever is less.
5. Place of origin& destination not connected by rail(partly/fully) and not connected by other recognised Public transport system also – AC first class rail fare by shortest route (as the journey had been performed by rail) or the amount actually spent ,whichever is less.
The amount of LTA claimed should be equal to or lower than the LTA component in your salary structure. If the LTA exemption claimed is less than LTA component in the salary, the balance will be taxed as per your income tax bracket.
When can you claim?
The exemption can be availed only in respect of two journeys performed in a block of four calendar years. For this purpose, the first four-year block commenced with the calendar year 1986. The current block is 2010 to 2013. You can claim for two journeys in the same year, provided you make no more LTA exemption claims for the rest of the block.
If an assessee has not availed travel concession or assistance during any of the specified four-year block periods on one of the two permitted occasions, or on both occasions, exemption can be claimed provided he avails the concession or assistance in the calendar year immediately following that block. This is popularly known as the 'carry-over' concession. This carry over concession is available only for one journey. In such cases, the exemption so availed will not be counted for purposes of regulating the future exemptions allowable for the succeeding block of four years. That means in such cases you can claim exemption for three journeys in that block of four years.
How to make a claim?
A written submission can be submitted to the employer with the travel details and amount spent to claim the exemption. As per the Supreme Court ruling in the case of Larsen & Toubro and ITI the employers are under no statutory obligation to collect bills and details to prove that the employees had utilised the amounts obtained against these claims on travel expenses. Even though the employer can ask their employees to furnish proof of travel depending upon their policies. If the employer does not allow the exemption at the time of tax deduction, employee can claim the deduction at the time of filing the return.

Librarians promote literacy in Guatemala
You have probably heard of Doctors Without Borders. But Librarians Without Borders?
Thanks to the volunteer group of librarians and library science students, some youngsters in Guatemala will soon be able to borrow books for the first time.
The organization visited the Miguel Angel Asturias Academy in Guatemala's highlands in 2009, helping to establish a library. Each year since then, volunteers have returned to help build the library's capacity.
This month, 18 volunteers – including CSU Monterey Bay librarian Sarah Dahlen – will visit for two weeks.
"We'll be introducing a circulation system that will allow students and teachers to check books out and read them at home," Dahlen said. Until now, books could only be used in the library.
Many of the volunteers will work on the technical side of the project, getting the books cataloged in the new system and ready for check out.
Dahlen will work with the information literacy side of the project. Lending libraries are uncommon in Guatemala, she said, "and there is not a culture of borrowing and returning books. I will be providing instruction to the students of Asturias on how the lending system will work and what it will enable them to do.
"I've been trying to brush up my Spanish in preparation," she added.
The volunteers will have the opportunity to visit other libraries in the country and do some sightseeing.
Getting an education is difficult for many Guatemalans, in part due to a lack of access to books. In a country where books are taxed beyond the reach of the 75 percent of the population who live in poverty, it's almost impossible to get children excited about reading because they can't get books in their hands.
"This year, we plan to change that," Librarians Without Borders said in a news release.

Chapter Update
Two months into our ecclesiastical year and we are in a flourish of activities. On the horizon prior to end of December are:
Poinsettia Sales, Bake Sale, Literacy Project and Christmas Dinner, Adopt-a-Family. Something for everyone to participate in!
Our Outreach committee is always ready to act. If you know someone in need or home bound, please contact Fr. Vasile or Chairperson Rena Poletes for arrangements.
We still have a healthy stock of the DVD Angels and Autism so if you know of anyone who would benefit from it, please see Joanie Ruppel or the bookstore to purchase a copy for only $10. This is a timeless video and aimed to help those create understanding and tolerance for those with special disabilities with a subject geared to autism.
The "Shoes for Orphan Souls" project is ongoing. If you are able, please purchase a pair of new tennis shoes for donation. One of our families chose to have birthday party guests bring shoes for this project instead of toys - a fantastic idea! Please put your donation in the clear plastic tub or if you are brave enough to seek out the actual collection box, that would be great too.
Cookbooks are available to purchase for $15. The cookbook was made from parishioners recipies and makes an excellent gift! Copies are to the left of the fellowship hour table in the parish hall.

Earphones are usually designed to be as discrete and light as possible. Not so with theTtransformer earphones. They're not exactly ear buds when you consider their hefty 200g in weight.
The earphones can either be large round discs or can be changed to become either "Frenzy," a blue transformer, or "Rumble" or "Ramble", a red one. There is a retracting cord winder to prevent the cables from tangling. Apparently there is Transformer humor involved… somewhere.
These are great for diehard Transformer fans or people who want unusual earphones which stick out of your ears. The asking price is $50 per pair.

Inside the Box
Packaging for the Zeus 1350W is great on the inside. All of the modular cables are in the small box and the power supply itself is surrounded by thick foam.
Removing the power supply from the box reveals the rough textured black finish on the unit. The top features the rail distribution should the user decide to use it as a multi-rail power supply instead of a single rail.
If there was any doubt that the Zeus was meant for servers and workstations, the Zeus measures in at 9.25 inches long.
The other side presents us with a few more vents, the serial number and a label for the ports and switch on the front.
The back presents us with the heavy duty AC input, on/off rocker switch, exhaust fan, fan speed select switch and power indicator light. Quite a bit is going on in the back of the Zeus.
Just as much is happening in the front of the unit. Aside from the modular connectors, there are three potentiometers for adjusting the voltages and the selector switch to switch between multi-rail and single rail mode.
Silverstone provides quite a bit of cabling with the Zeus.
Also included with the power supply are thumb screws, mounting screws, AC input cord, some Velcro cable ties and some zip ties.
Rounding out the contents of the box are the two manuals. The one on the left is a generic manual for installing power supplies and the one on the right is specific to the Zeus 1350 with more information.

Part two: Chef and Tell with Jay Spickelmier from Japoix
Jay Spickelmier
975 Lincoln Street
This is part two of this week's Chef and Tell. Read the rest of Lori Midson's interview with Jay Spickelmier, executive chef of Japoix, here.
Favorite restaurant in America: Osaki's Sushi & Japanese Cuisine in Vail. I just feel at home when I go there, even though I'm a paying customer. The food is great, and so is the staff. It only holds about 25 people, which means you can have a conversation with anyone in the room from your seat.
Best food city in America: Chicago. It's a city with a ton of diversity and ethnic restaurants, and it has the culture to support that diversity and ethnicity. On the flip side, you've got places like Alinea, Moto and L20 doing avant-garde cuisine and pushing the limits. Chicago is a city that really represents where food is going.
Favorite Denver restaurant(s) other than your own: I love Pho 95. The pho broth is light, not too salty, and always consistent, and the Pho 95 on Federal is just one of the best holes-in-the-wall in Denver.
Favorite music to cook by: I like the sound of food cooking; sauté pans with sizzling meats are music to my ears. I also like a little classic rock now and then, maybe some Led Zeppelin or something more recent, like Modest Mouse, CEO or the Killers. I really try to appreciate all types of music.
What you'd like to see more of in Denver from a culinary standpoint: More organic and sustainable ways of bringing a greater variety of foods to market from our own back yard. I'd love to see renewable-energy-supported massive greenhouses right here to Colorado, Biodôme style.
What you'd like to see less of in Denver from a culinary standpoint: Overpriced Chinese food from ostentatious Chinese restaurants.

Firefox 3.whatever is current
XP sp3 After reading the thread about using tabs vs opening a new browser window I've been trying them but I keep closing all of them by clicking on the x at the top right corner and I really only want to close that one. How do I just close one? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Fri, Oct 31, 08 at 21:04
each tab should have a red x at the end of it's name you click that x to close only that tab, the big x at the top of the page closes the entire firefox. or you can right click on any tab and choose close from the drop down list. |
- Posted by buyorsell888 (My Page) on Fri, Oct 31, 08 at 21:11
Thank you. I do see the red x on each tab but I'm used to closing up at the top right and keep doing it. Annoying when I have several tabs open. |
buyorsell888, you can close the tab you are in by hitting CTRL W. |

Ghostbusters 30th anniversary set rapidly approaching 10k
Posted by glenbricker,The Cuusoo project Ghostbusters 30 Year Anniversary set is only 150 support away from 10k.
With Back to the Future having made it into production, many see Ghostbusters as a shoe in as well. Ghostbusters in also one of the rare intellectual properties that has received a Staff Pick on Cuusoo. Not just one pick even, but a whole week of picks!
On top of that, is it just me or is there at least one Ecto-1 at every LEGO Con if not the entire station? It is obviously a favored subject of FOLs.
Update: unsurprisingly, overnight the project reached 10,000!
The 30 Year Anniversary project is the creation of BrentWaller, the creator of the Tumbler Project that also reached 10,000. This will make him the second Cuusoo creator to so, after MB Bricks. Before a barrage of comments about how unlikely it is that Cuusoo will make a set big enough to include the Station, I wish to add that BrentWaller himself has stated in the project comments that he does not think that it will be included in a final product.
As many of you know, this project shot up and surpassed a much earlier Ghostbusters project submitted by TeeKey. The real difference between the projects (given that the station is out of the question) is that Teekay has an Ecto-1 apparently scaled to hold the whole team and their equipment and a custom Slimer element, while BrentWaller has a more attractive but less roomy Ecto-1, Slimer based Rotta figure, and custom head piece for Peter.
Personally I was hoping that both projects would reach 10,000 in the same review period so we could see what LEGO Cuusoo would do with the situation. But then BrentWaller's really started picking up speed and it is very unlikely that TeeKay's project will reach 10,000 by the end of the month.
It is interesting to point out that the majority of votes for each project are not coming from the single users voting for both but from users voting for each singularly. My opinion is that in most cases this is less of a case of opinion and more one of timing, followed links, and the propensity for people to not investigate Cuusoo once they have voted. There are actually seven Ghostbuster minifigs with Ecto-1 projects on Cuusoo. So in many ways the Ghostbuster's have achieved well more than 10,000 votes already, a fact I imagine would be hard for the Cuusoo Review to overlook.
I am happy to see that TeeKay and BrentWaller have been very honorable in the comments regarding their situation. Here is an exchange between them on the site:
Congrats on surpassing my Ghostbusters project! You've earned it. Just between you and me, your models always did look better. Although I doubt build quality would drastically affect the final product, since a LEGO designer will rework your set, build quality definitely helped you get exposure and take the lead. Best of luck on your way to 10,000! At the end of the day, I just want to have my hands on a LEGO ECTO-1!
Thanks TeeKay, It's not over yet though! At this rate we BOTH might be in the same review, I daresay if that was the case LEGO would probably just consolidate our submissions into one so everybody wins :)
Having both our creations so high also shows how badly the community wants to see a Ghostbuster set become a reality.

I'd love to get my hands on this set, fits nicely with the a modular themed lego city.
Unfortunately it will be a big investment for TLG seeing as it's quite large in size.
I can see Lego just doing the car and 4 figures... A definite must buy... But how long will it be until this gets reviewed..? 2015..?
^ I hope to God that's not the case.
I actually meant not seeing a set until 2015...
Does anyone know what review cycle is coming up..?
The Winter 2012 Review is the next in line to be revealed.
The winter 2012...?
Around when will that be..? Winter 2013..? Or a bit sooner..?
I love the choice of minifig heads/facial expressions. Pretty spot on except winslow.
It just hit 10,000.
So happy this one made it... I expect this to easily pass the review as long as licensing isn't an issue...
I was the 10,000th. :)
The car and the four minifigs is all I want.
This should be fast tracked to be released next June as that's when the 30 year anniversary is. What better way for TLG to make a bundle off of it.
I got a question what do they mean when they say at least 1 Eco-1?
This would be a dream come true if they made this, i LOVE the movies and this would just be the cherry on the top of an ball of ice cream (YEAH METAPHORS, is this i metaphor... i think it is... well ima be honest with you, i build, i dont write poetry.)
I support this 100%.
The mini fig potential for ghosts are endless.
I hope that the Delorian has set a precedent for future film tie-ins such as this. I do think a sticking point could be that with the BTTF set the profits from the designer went to Michael J Fox's foundation which I am sure helped the rights issue get through easier. I doubt there would be such a boost for the Ghost Busters, also Bill Murray is a known difficult human, I would not be surprised that rights issues to his likeness could become a problem (they were with the cartoon they made in the 90's)
I think Lego should take some initiative and do a 80s movie nostalgia series. There are plenty of cool characters and vehicles they could be doing off their own bat.
Brilliant news, fingers crossed it will be successful when it is reviewed.
I like it more than the BTTF set. But it is also disappointing that this is what cuusoo is producing. Coming next The Goonies, Stand By Me, ET, Ferris Bueller, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, ....
It has now reached 10,000! And the tumberler is only a few clicks away! UPDATE: The tumberler has reached 10,000 to!!
Bill Murray will singlehandedly torpedo this. Bet on it.
@CCC interestingly none of the properties you mention have much iconic set potential. Ie, everything in ET happens in a boring suburban house. The set would be ET, the annoying kid, a bike and a glow in the dark sticker of the moon. Wow. Goonies has an abandoned restaurant and generic caves. Roger Rabbit has some potential. "I'm not bad, I'm just molded in ABS that way."
^^ What on Earth is a tumberler?
Anyway, only three projects reached 10k in the last two months, and that's Ghostbusters, FTL, and ATLAS. No tumberler.
Well, this is certainly a set I would spend 100€ on. Not so much on a Tumbler (been there, done it), the ATLAS (what a piece of junk), FTL (boring) or Poptropica (what is this?). As was mentioned, there is rarely an AFOL who didn't try to make one or a brick convention where none is present. It was one of the most popular movies in the 80s and one of the most popular toy lines (based on media). It is up there with Star Wars, Turtles, Simpsons and Transformers and those were all made into bricks. Why not this one?
I'd really like to see TeeKay's project march on to 10k as well. It's only some 2k away now, BrentWaller's project got that much in one week. The deadline is more than two weeks away. As Glen says, having them both in the same review would be pretty interesting for a number of reasons.
He meant to say Tumbler. It is Batman's primary vehicle from the new trilogy of movies. BrentWeller got his version to 10k. If you check his project links:http://lego.cuusoo.com/profile/BrentWaller#projects you can see it as well as his other great mocs.
Cant say how many times I pretended my lego guys were Ghostbusters... this would be awesome!
I suppported both, yay.
I don't think Bill Murray has any say in this being made or not, Columbia Pictures owns the franchise rights to it including the characters and their likeness.
I know Brent Waller has stated that his station may not be included in any Cuusoo set, but I would really like to see this, as I'm currently trying to build my own American Fire Station/house based on this one and its taking me an eternity to build.
I guess my project was one of the rare Staff Picks with intellectual property rights :) (Howl's Moving Castle) I feel even more honored. Can't wait for the Ecto-1!
Hopefully the Ekto-1 will get through and maybe the designer will deign to put up instructions for the building? For a price, of course...
I love it
@Speshy: Oh man, why's nobody supporting Howl's Moving Castle? Or Totoro, for that matter...
@Glen: yeah I'm obviously aware of the Tumbler (or should I say, the many Tumblers), but it reached 10k three months ago, while the comment here made it sound like breaking news. Misspelling it twice in the process.
Never watched this "show" in my life. Not saying it wouldn't make a good set though.
Could be good defo purchase for me hopefully this won't be messed about too much by the TLG designers for final release. The delorean was a mixed bag in the end with a much improved rear when compared to the original submission and the far worse stepped front and widscreen.
"Anybody seen a ghost?" Sign me up for a copy if this is ever produced!
Will LEGO actually produce this set? "We're Ready To Believe You"
What are the dire consequences if LEGO does not unleash this set onto a grateful population of AFOL's? "Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!"
@Schwallex: I don't know, but feel free to help out! I already posted on several fan sites, but so far not much is churning.
Does the 30th anniversary set's ghost look farmiliar? (It seems to be the piece used for Jabba's son in Lego Star Wars.)

The Colorado Rockies and Kansas City Royals have hooked up on a deal involving two struggling pitchers. The Rockies have agreed to send Jeremy Guthrie to the Royals for left-hander Jonathan Sanchez, who was just designated for assignment.
Guthrie, who was acquired by the Rockies this off season for pitchers Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom, was named the opening day starter after a good spring, but has struggled all season long. Guthrie owned a 6.35 ERA, 6.34 FIP and 5.15 xFIP in 19 appearances with the club. His 21 home runs allowed was tops in the National League.
Sanchez, who Parkes wrote about on Tuesday, ranked last in xFIP, last in FIP and second last in ERA this season. He was acquired in a trade from the Giants for Melky Cabrera, yes the All-Star MVP Melky Cabrera.
This trade may go down as just a swap of one terrible pitcher for another, but at least the Rockies can justify it by saving over $1 million in salary.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Opal!
Facts about Opal
- Breed: Silver Fox Mix
- Color: Agouti
- Age: Young
- Size: Standard
- Sex: Female Hair: Unknown
Opal's Info...
I am already spayed and housetrained.
Hi! I'm Opal! I came into the shelter with all my brothers and sisters! Of all of us our fosterer says that I am the sweetest and most social. I am not a wild and crazy bunny - I am very even tempered - but I also just love to hang out with people. I run right up to say hi!
I was adopted out once to a family and was very close to them, but there was a divorce and they couldn't keep me. I had to come back into foster care and it has made me unhappy. I just don't feel as confident as I used to, and I miss my people. I would love to have a wonderful new adopter to love me and help me get back to my old, happy self.
I have a gorgeous coat of fur - it's dark brown with flecks of tan. And what magnificent ears I have! I'm quite smart, too. I know what my litter box is for and I'm pretty good about using it, if I do say so myself!
I love my toys and I love to explore. How about it? Would you like to be my partner in adventure?!
For my rescue group's adoption policies, please got to www.huntsvillefriendsofrabbits.com
The adoption fee is $50 which helps defray the considerable costs of spay/neuter, other veterinary expenses, food, and equipment. All of our rabbits have received a full vet check up and are spayed/neutered. We adopt only to indoor homes, and prefer adult-only homes. We do not adopt rabbits as pets for children. We consider homes with older children, dogs or ferrets on a case-by-case basis.
If you are over 21 and have the time, energy, love and financial resources to care for a rabbit (not to mention a good sense of humor!) we would be happy to talk to you about adopting one of our fabulous foster bunnies! Please email us at email@example.com and tell us a little about yourself, including why you would like a bunny and your previous experience with rabbits (if any). Please include your phone number so we may call you about the adoption.
Please note we are a little picky – we love these bunnies and since they have already been through the shelter once we want to make sure they have a great home the second time around! We do screen applicants carefully, as well as require a home visit. We adopt only within a five hour drive of Huntsville, AL.
Other Pets at Huntsville Friends of Rabbits
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Opal, a Huntsville Silver Fox was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Silver Fox for sale in Huntsville, or seeking a Silver Fox from a breeder in Huntsville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Huntsville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Huntsville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Silver Fox breeders who help with Silver Fox rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Huntsville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Benefits of NuWave Oven
- June 2013
- Posted By JohnnyG
- 0 Comments
Well there are a number of things that set this product apart from other over the counter cooking appliances. One is that instead of using one type of heating source, it uses three. It combines infrared heat, convection, and conduction heat to cook food. Two is that instead of having to thaw out food before you cook it, you can simply put whatever food you want to cook straight from the freezer into the oven and cook it. This oven thaws out the food and cooks it at the same time.
Now there is no way to describe everything the NuWave Oven does, what it cooks, etc, here in this one article. We can give you a little of the pros and cons of buying the product, where you can find out more information on the product. It seems there are a number of pros to it. It saves you a lot of time. You can take out your meat or fish, chicken, whatever and place it directly into the oven. Because you don't have to go through a bunch of extra steps, cooking time is cut dramatically. It's cheaper because now you can buy frozen food, which is often cheaper than buying fresh. It is also healthier than many cooking methods, using the above described cooking methods instead of frying or baking.
The cons of this product include that the described cooking times included with the packaging are not correct. You will need to adjust these times, in order to make sure the food is cooked thoroughly. The convection dome is made from clear plastic, not Pyrex glass. This means the tops wear out quickly, and need to be replaced often. Apparently another major complaint that people have is that the company that actually manufactures the NuWave Oven has very poor customer service, so if you do have a problem, getting it resolved through the company is difficult.
If you want more information on this product, you can find reviews online. It is also available through a number of online retailers, including Amazon. If you want to avoid problems, Amazon has excellent customer service.

In the late 80´s the Arellano-Felix brothers take over the Tijuana Cartel in the north of Mexico. They start to gain billions of dollars using a network of modified cars, tunnels, boats, and even planes; becoming the world´s largest and most powerful smugglers of cocaine.
The multimillionaire business became more violent as competing cartels wanted to take a piece of the cake. Numerous gang bangers were recruited (some of them American) to defend the business taking a toll of thousands of victims in a war that terrorized the whole Tijuana population. Decapitations, mutilations and all sort of horrible tortures where used to intimidate the other gangs.
The Mexican and the US government ally to take the brothers down but they are incapable of solving the whole problem in which United States puts the party and Mexico the bodies.
