There are two sources of Soap Operas in Mexico, Televisa and the Mexican Government. Only they believe their own fantastic pipe dreams.
The contention that Mexico is like Afghanistan is absurd. Only someone who has never traveled extensively there can accept this uncritically. There are still many stable areas within Mexico, including large populations of foreigners, and many, many educated people there. Show me that in Afghanistan. Few foreigners there outside of military, and most educated folks living abroad. The closest thing historically would be if the Cristeros had become intolerant bigots and engaged in indscriminate mass killing. But that did not happen either on the whole. Mexico's biggest problems stem mainly from being sandwiched between the Estado Unidos and the banana republics of Central America. Their elites are no more corrupt than the US elites are today.
I completely agree with above opinion. I have been staying in Mexico as a visiting professor from Japan. I never felt danger or peril in the daily life. People are gentle and very kind to this non-spanish speaking guy. I had lived in the US and China. Mexico is a more civilized and more decent country than these,maybe more than Japan.
I lived for many years along the Frontade and was always surprised at the decency and help of the average Mexican people. It's like that still when you get away from the big tourist centers. I certainly hope that Japan remains the civilized country remembered last from the 1990s. I was born in Occupied Japan and lived there for 14 years with a nanny whose husband died on Saipan. That family still lived in Tahoku during my last visit in 1998, and I have often wondered how those kind farmers managed after the 2011 earthquake. In retrospect, they could be described as 和やか .
yes exactly, you are safe because you are an outsider. no matter where you go, even the places mentioned below. they won't mess with you. its only among themselves and their own citizens.
In early 2009 the government admitted the existence of 233 "zones of impunity,"61 where crime runs rampant. Although Mexican officials did not specify these areas, they are believed to include (1) the Tierra Caliente, a mountainous region contiguous to Michoacán, Guerrero, Colima and Mexico state; (2) the "Golden Triangle," a drug-growing mecca where the states of Sinaloa, Chihuahua and Durango converge in the Sierra Madre mountains; (3) the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in the southeast; (4) neighborhoods in cities such as Ciudad Juárez and Reynosa along the U.S.- Mexican border, where cartel thugs carve up judges, behead police officers and kidnap journalists who incur their wrath; (5) metropolitan areas around Mexico City; and (6) the porous border between the southern Chiapas state and Guatemala.
Maybe instead of saying mexico is like afghanistan and people taking it literaly, we should be more specific and say mexico, in certain regions, has a very profitable imbedded drug trade like afghanistan - and will not be eradicated - gov't needs to quietly make a deal with the cartel.-then there will be peace for the mexican people that are suffering daily - because it is them - not the visiting or expat outsider that is touched. The outsiders are the ones that can really continue to enjoy mexico as it can be enjoyed. For that i am envious of them.
as jvictor1789 points out :
Now the forces behind El Chapo, El Azul and El Mayo - may be strong enough to force a real cartelization of drug supply from Mexico. This issue will then be made to gradually slip away from the public eye.
I appreciate your analysis and information which is very specific as outsiders have limited knowledge and have a tendency of judgeing things by limited experience.
"When the Zetas fill the skies,
will our leaders tell us why?
Fully loaded satellites
will conquer nothing but our minds.
And I'm waiting patiently,
I'll wait for the sign
When the Zetas fill the skies,
It's just out leaders in disguise.

Love TE's inverted commas, "the cartels" ... a cartel monopolises and softens competition, "the cartels" strongly believe in competition.
A great paradox of "the cartels" is their enduring popularity amongst the poor in Mexico. Surely the poor should hate these violent dictators?
The reason they do not is because "the cartels" are the purest capitalist enterprise in the Americas. The turnover in leadership rotates the dinner table often enough to spread the crumbs around. The meal at the dinner table itself is so opulent that "the cartels" can operate military units that are almost equivalent to Seal Team Six, using similar US ISSUE military spec gear, former special forces mercenaries and a spy network covering virtually every square inch of their territory. If "the cartels" were consolidated into one and went to war with Mexico, say it softly, their victory is assured without US interventionism.
How about these for some scary statistics:
Mexican defence department budget - $6.3 billion (~0.5% GDP)
"The cartels" annual revenue from drug sales alone - $50 billion (according to a CRS (Congressional Research Service) report in 2007)
Truth is it's not even a fair fight. So what to do about it? Criminal activity in Mexico provides a lot of money for otherwise poor and unemployed. I think the situation is analogous to "thug life" stateside, "get rich or die tryin". It is easy to criticise Mexicans for joining "the cartels", assuming a lack of education and moral fortitude on their behalf, but is it really that simple? If I was there and had no job and a family to feed, would I turn down $10K to visit my distant relative in the US? Would my wife turn down $100 a day to stand naked and stuff drugs into plastic bags? Would my son turn down a free meal for his family or would he tell them what type of car just drove by?
The solution to "the cartel" problem cannot be solved by the force of arms alone, rather, the solution is weakening the base of support for leaders like Joaquin Guzman. How you do that is lifting Mexican farmers and unemployed out of poverty, legally, breaking their dependency on "the cartels" for a decent standard of living.
There are many things the US and Europe can do to help...the US should make it impossible for US special forces issued weapons to end up in the hands of "the cartels". The ATF/FBI are helping, trying to trace US weapons to Mexico but they seem to be coming up against many obstacles in both America and Mexico. One must ignore what the CIA are up to in Mexico. The US and Europe should legalise marijuana in all states. Marijuana is the cash-crop of "the cartels" and the industry provides many steady jobs for otherwise civilian people. Just give the Mexican farmers a good price for their marijuana crop and break the cycle of dependence.
If you are waiting for me to ask for the same treatment for say, cocaine, well, I don't think that is in the wider interests of society. The cocaine option is a strong reason for paying the marijuana farmers good prices though - a kilo of cocaine costs $2K to harvest and produce in Mexico. The sale of this kilo generates $10K wholesale in Mexico. Transport this kilo to the US and the wholesale prices jumps to $30K. Split and sell this kilo on the street and now it's worth $100K. When you see those figures suddenly the incentive structure of all those involved with drug trafficking becomes clear. It also becomes clear why fighting a war on drugs will never gain total victory over drugs - 3 figure tax-free ROIs and the overall sums involved will ensure future support for this enterprise within every level of societal wealth.
Time we wake up and change the hands that money is in. Instead of "the cartels" that money belongs in the hands of Mexican marijuana farmers and the pockets of otherwise law-abiding citizens in the US and Europe.
It's not FTW.... it's FTM (free the Mexicans)!!!!!!!
Ok so 50 billion in revenue. How much in profit margin? Because the 6 billion in government budget that you mention must be in pure cash. Besides, the cartels fight each other so maybe that evens out the fight too.
Must of the drug does not come from Mexico. It just passes through and is produced in Colombia, Peru and Bolivia
I do agree that poverty and lack of opportunities are in the core of the problem.
Legalization is an option and requires transnational agreements so that makes it difficult to happen in the short run. Besides, the cartels won't like to be left empty handed. Perhaps they'll initially continue with their illegal activities such as piracy and kidnapping which would turn things even uglier but in the long run I agree that it is a solution.
In the meantime I believe that there needs to be a strong media campaing in the US so that people know how they finance death when they do drugs
Thanks for your comment.
It is $50 billion from drugs alone and this is a 2007 figure. As you mentioned there are many other sources of revenue. At a guess one might imagine if it costs $2K to produce a kilo of cocaine it probably costs another $2K in local wages and donations, another $2K in bribing people within Mexico, another $2K on tunnels, $2K on miscellaneous and $2K on stateside connections. So of the $30K return a kilo will garner wholesale in the US, "the cartels" probably accrue $10K of expenses. Still "good" business, an ROI of 200%, so, of $50 billion revenue one might guestimate a profit of ~ $33 billion.
Don't forget that much of that 2011 figure of $6.3 billion will end up in the pockets of "the cartels" anyway, as they hire and coerce the best staff from the military and steal the best equipment.
No matter what way you want to cut it, the illicit pharmaceutical business is phenomenally lucrative for each link in the chain. If one were to consider "the cartels" may also receive a cut from distributors in the US, who are making an ROI of 233%, the overall profit naturally increases.
You make a good point about the source of raw materials being other Latin countries as well as Mexico. I wonder if we can talk the drug lords into setting up a union for marijuana farmers in all of Latin America? These guys are so powerful and influential I think the developed world must evolve away from military options and engage in political dialogue to really achieve anything.
As for the media campaign in the US "Drugs = Death", I think there is already significant awareness of this fact, it's just that nobody cares. It is the same in the UK. Organised gangs from Vietnam traffic people to the UK and lock them up in grow houses for months on end. Not many people realise that if you buy weed in the UK mainland you are effectively promoting slavery and financing ruthless Asian criminal enterprises. Unfortunately drug users, particularly of the Class A variety, tend to use drugs as an escape from their reality. The last thing they have on their mind when taking drugs are consequences.
The sooner America realizes that the war on drugs is a failure, the sooner drug cartels and associated crime will diminish. America fought the war in Columbia only to witness the crime and criminals move to Mexico. If Mexico cleans up its act, some other country will take it up.
The drug using countries must de-criminalize drugs and treat their use as a "disease" and not as a crime. Making marijuana legal, controlling its distribution, taxing it and treating it akin to alcohol will go a long way in dealing with drug problems. Unfortunately, too many government employees will lose their jobs and they have a vested interest in keeping them illegal.
Criminals are already moving to weaker states, i.e., countries in Central America.
Every time that you, Americans, do drugs you are killing people. You have blood in your hands. Drugs are worst than blood diamonds, so please make a movie about it too.
Marijuana is the cash cow for drug "cartels", so yes marijuana is tainted with blood too. Students in American highschools and universities do not connect the dots between somking pot and the killings in Mexico. Please spread the word.
Everytime you have a drink, you are supporting the alcohol industry, responsible for drunk driving deaths, wife abuse etc. Please connect the dots.
This makes no sense. Nobody is FORCING Mexicans to form drug gangs and kill thousands of other Mexicans every single year. They are doing that by choice because the Mexican government is so corrupt that it is virtually impossible to stop them. It is unfair to blame others for the fact that tens of thousands of your citizens choose to join criminal organizations which ravage the country in the search for profits. Blaming America for Mexico's drug violence is like blaming McDonalds because I am fat. Sure, they give the opportunity to make bad choices, but the CHOICE is still yours.
I'm not talking about the consequences of smoking pot or alcohol or anything. I'm talking about the suppliers of that pot. The money people are paying for drugs is used by cartels to buy guns and fight their competitors and kill anyone who gets in the line of fire. As Marijuana, their cash cow keeps bringing them money they become stronger and can open other lines of business like asking shops and small businesses for "taxes" if they don't pay they get killed. I believe legalisation could be a solution but the matter of fact is that in THI right moment every dollar you pay for drugs it is used to finance DEATH. I invite to come down to Mexico and experience the terror for yourself.
Raza Libre. How do you think the drugs move inside the US? How does the drug get from the border all the way up to the northern states, NY etc? American cartels operate and move all the drug around the country but the US government is affraid to fight it because it will become a mess in the same way it became a mess in Mexico when the US government asked the Mexican goverment to do something about it, to stop it before it gets to the US. But the fact of the matter is that the demand comes fromt he US.
Of course all the corruption in Mexico is to blame. But, where do you think all the guns that the gangs use come from? They come from the US. American weapon companies are making big bucks with this war. So the US is also to blame, but Mexico puts the dead.
So the US gun manufacturers are to blame for what the Mexican people choose to do with those guns? Are the car companies also to blame for all the deaths in car accidents? Are the alcohol copanies to blame for all the drunk driving? Of course not. Nobody is to "blame" for the killing in Mexico other than the people who are doing the killing. It is a matter of perosnal responsibility.
The drug violence in Mexico is solel the fault of MEXICO. It is their citizens who are doing the drug running and their citizens who are doing the killing and their citizens who are electing corrupt and ineffective governments. The drug war could stop tomorrow if every Mexican made the CHOICE to stop running drugs and murdering each other. The blame is solely with the purpotrators of the crime itself and not with those those who provide the tools of motiviation with whch the crime is committed.
There are plenty of drug gangs in the US and they commit plenty of crimes...but how often do you see Americans dumping hundreds of dead bodies in the middle of our cities? By your logic I could just as easily blame Mexico for the drug problems in the US because the Mexicans are the ones bringing drugs into our country...but I won't because that would be asnine. Our drug problems are OUR fault and your drug problems are YOUR fault, its as simple as that.
That's a good argument "The blame is solely with the purpotrators of the crime itself and not with those those who provide the tools of motiviation with whch the crime is committed" but things are not always black or white. One thing is doing the crime and the other is financing the crimes and I believe there is fault in both.
I think that your car manufacturer and McDonald's analogies are wrong because we are not discussing the consequences of using the product (getting fat, crashing on a car for being drunk or stoned) but the supply chain and the financing of the drugs.
You cannot separate the drug problem between the US and Mexico because we are neighbors and because the drugs that the US gangs move in the US pass through Mexico. Of course a big part of fault is Mexican: the corruption and the lack of opportunities for the young in Mexico etc. That perhaps if the core of the problem.
However, the drug is not used in Mexico. The drug just passes through Mexico to meet its demand in the US and believe that demand will go down in the US if people knew how tainted with blood that drug is. Tainted with blood in the supply chain. I studied in the University of Pennsylvania and I could tell how people attitude upon drugs (and hopefully consumption) changed when they realized there was a lot of blood in that drug was.
Sacaling that message I believe would help a lot in solving the problem.
Methinks you have the arguement facts in reverse. It should be: Blaming Mexico for America's drug problem is like blaming McDonalds because I am fat. But that is misleading. Choice is something exercised by people not under duress, and with the reflection on the results of your actions BEFORE the fact. That this isn't happening for a huge chunk of the US population itself says its something more than just a matter of moral rectitude.
I don´t know if you know the Bucareli agreement, if you don't remember from your history class, The agreement was the Mexican Government paid for the revolution guns, and the American government stop to sell guns to Mexico.
With this agreement the Mexican revolution finished
i totally agree with you rubicundo, but not one movie, many movies and lots of advertising. if it is drilled into our heads what is going on, we will become somewhat ashamed and demand that drugs are legalized.
Is it just me or does he look a lot like "FES" from That 70s show?
Since all the most famous drug Cartel heads except Sinaloa´s are now dead or captured perhaps we can solve the riddle of why they are called Cartels after all.
They are all Cartels within the territory they control, but compete among themselves.Now the forces behind El Chapo, El Azul and El Mayo-the last one, being around 60 years old, gave an interview to Mexico´s most respected journalist, Mr Scherer-Garcia, stating that he lives happily in the Sierra Madre with his wife and his four girlfriends - may be strong enough to force a real cartelization of drug supply from Mexico.
This issue will then be made to gradually slip away from the public eye.
It sure seems like there was no "connecting the dots" at all if Mexico or Afghanistan
Were indeed ever visited by someTE commenters...
Some time ago I wrote to The Economist about the convenience (if not need)to de-criminlize drugs. What about really listening to the plea (international that is) to regulate drugs? Publications like The Economist and other could make the scenario change.
The U.S. is certainly not going to take the lead on the issue, but the U.S. is not the world.
"yes i agree that mexico is like afghanistan"
Either you have never been to Afghanistan or you have never been to Mexico.
Or both.
Or, to cover all scenarios, you may have traveled in a state of suspended animation as part of a scientific experiment.
Jvictor1789 what I'm saying is that the state of Guerrero because of its fantastic region to growing poppy is doomed to investment and tourism if the drug war in that area continues. The war needs to stop in that region now and the only way is, without announcing it, the government allowing one group to dominate it - then peace will return in that region. people are ready for that and demanding that.
I'm curious. The killing of a drug pin makes it to the front page of this fine newspaper but I have yet to see some sort of analysis of the watered down labour reform recently approved in Mexico.
I would very much like to see an analysis from The Economist about it
Fear not, a labour reform story is on its way. Remember, the bill isn't through the Senate yet.
"Remember, the bill isn't through the Senate yet."
Translation: If a projected bill is unpalatable please write against it before it is passed, otherwise just make a post-mortem once it has become law.
Just kidding.
Really looking forward to it. Thanks!
While it may be true that the mexican highlands have provided morphine/heroin to the USA
since at least
WW1 at the beginning of the century(legally, then), to compare it to Afghanistan is way of the mark, Mexico
Has a thriving economy, developing high tech sector a huge tourism intake and most of the violence is usually
Thugs vs thugs,
so please quit the armchair hipocrysy that has helicopters spraying peasants all over latin America while
Drug production (weed, crystal meth) is rampant and quasi legal in vast swathes of the USA not to mention
The arms trade that supplies all of the gangsters...
yes i agree that mexico is like afghanistan. i always wondered why there was so much drug trafficking going on in the mexican state of guerrero. i didn't know what made this place so special compared to other states until i recently read that a large part of the heroin produced in mexico comes from the poppy plants grown in that mountainous Sierra Madre region. So i quickly realized that this is never ever going to go away in that region. Because of that i am selling my properties there and moving my boat somewhere else - in the world. The only way to bring tranquility back to that region - is for the government to make a deal with the traffickers and let them operate and then there will be peace.
The problem with that strategy is that it allows drug cartels to grow and gain power inside government institutions, eventually making them so corrupt that they either:
A)Become truly incompetent at doing their jobs(best case scenario)
B)Too competent at corruption and generally not doing their job(worst case scenario)
Neither A or B are truly viable options for a country to grow with increasing quality of life for its inhabitants.

Yes, guest-injssjs
I guess you are right, I guess i was just speaking I think as someone that can get up and leave - and to hell with them - not really thinking in the long term best interest of a society.......
But things were so much calmer before this war on drugs, everyone in town and govt and military knew who the drug dealers were and it was harmonious and everyone worked and traveled in peace - that's what my relatives in Mexico want to go back to - they are so fed up - they will accept anyone in government that can deliver them this. So quality of life returns for the normal Mexican citizens and as conosurf mentioned - economy will continue to thrive, tech grows and tourism grows. SIDENOTE : conosurf mentions this is thug v thug, but it's not, it really affects the normal citizen in a painful way daily. Ask any normal Mexican if he can walk carefree or take public transport from any village or city and he will say no - and he will probably tell you an incident that has happened to him or a neighbor. The only people that are not touched are tourists or visitors - so when they go or live there, since they are not targeted - they say, oh it's only thug v thug - but it's not. They are ready for someone to make a deal with these cartels.
Every time that you, Americans, do drugs you are killing people. You have blood in your hands. Drugs are worst than blood diamonds, so please make a movie about it too.
Marijuana is the cash cow, so yes marijuana is tainted with blood too. Students in American highschools and universities do not connect the dots between somking pot and the killings in Mexico. Please spread the word.
Mexico is Afghanistan except they speak Spanish, drink Tequila and are devoutly Catholic. The big industrial Marijuana grows and Cocaine processing plants are their biggest cash crop. And AK-47s proliferate.
Mexico is more dangerous than Iraq for the past 5 years.
Afghanistan thinks their future lies with being a Narcotic/ Heroin Export Power. ***Muslims are immune to the effects of addictive drugs, it is only Westerners that become abusers.***
Drug wars can be worse than religious wars.
Religion, Drugs, and Piety can combine to lead to bizarre sociopathic behaviors.
Use a Koran as toilet paper and see.
Like Drugs, some Religions should be highly regulated before destructive addictions set in.
May I sugest that we legalize marijuana and ilegalize religion?Eternal life will be lost but we can always smoke a joint and give it a thought...
Well now. I guess I'm gonna have to convert to Islam and then go score me some serious dope. Either that or you're an idiot.
Interesting. I've been living in Mexico for my entire life and I've never heard a gunshot. Oh, and I don't have a religion.
Connect the Dots- -- such clever statements you make here, as usual.
What an idiot. Great for us (and Iraquies, I guess) that we won't have you around here, since it appears so dangerous for you.
Daniel R.
Devoutly Catholic? AK-47s proliferate?
Perhaps you should get real facts, for instance the most catholic country in America is Brazil, not Mexico (besides Mexico has only around 7000 "churches" including mesquites, protestant temples and other according to the Dirección General de Asociaciones Religiosas en México,USA has over 450,000), and the gun control laws in Mexico is more strict than in the UK, there is in fact only 1 single gun shop in all of Mexico and its run by the army.
Also most all the weapons used by the cartels and thugs come from USA.
Amen to that. Or should I say "Well said Comrade!"
Criminalize religion? I hope you're joking. The anti-religion purges by states like the Soviet Union in the past and China in the present would make the Inquisition by the Catholic Church look like a picnin in comparison.
But hey, religion is always an easy punching bag. Well, some religions at least...
Not a comrade, but a free man, that knows that religion (and communism, by the way...is not so different) served for some as a way to make others do what they are told to. The Inquisition , Stalin, Mao and others are all in the same business; repressing people to do as they want.
We are the punching bag of Religion.
Not all Mexico is dangerous. I live in Jalisco and people can walk at night and go out for a beer to a pub and many states are like Jalisco.
The dangerous places are in the border wit US and few states central and south Mexico. Of course this is not a relief but my point is that we should not generalize. Is like saying that Mexico is like it is because all the people in USA take drugs. No offence, just an example.
I'd like to be optimistic, but the death of this man will not change anything. As long as the demand for drugs remains this high in the United States, the suppliers will exist (along with the violence they create competing for power). Frankly, I'm surprised this article is on the homepage of the website.
Only two things would change the overall situation:
1) the demand for drugs in the US drops substantially, or
2) drugs become legal, taking out the massive profits that illegal trade creates.
After half a century and more of trying for the first alternative, it is pretty clear that isn't going to happen.
Let's try number 2...
For number two to work, they would have to become legal in multiple countries. If the US legalizes drugs (which it won't), as a country we would not grow or create them ourselves. The demand is too high and the weather conditions are not ideal in all of the country to grow drugs. The areas where the weather permits these drugs to be grown is far too small in the US to fulfill the demand for them. So where does the supply of the drugs come from instead? South of the border. Will a country like Mexico legalize drugs? Possible, but not probable.
Now imagine they became legal in Mexico. Even if licit suppliers of drugs existed, the demand is not only in Mexico, the real profit is in the United States. So in order to make bigger profits they would illicitly attempt to smuggle drugs into the US, competing with fellow suppliers for convenient trade routes, perhaps sparking violence again.
So, number two would most likely not work unless a certain agreement was to be reached between both countries. But do we really want drugs legalized? I don't. I think that's a horrible idea.
But by far the biggest driver of international agreements to restrict drugs is . . . the United States. If we weren't constantly insisting on those agreements, the rest of the world would mostly heave a huge sigh of relief, and get on with more important things.
Except for the ones, e.g. Mexico, which have been suffering the worst from being on the drug gangs' supply chain. They would likely declare national days of thanksgiving.
Well, I think there will be a change. Lazcano is no longer alive. That's a change.
'But do we really want drugs legalized? I don't. I think that's a horrible idea."
why is it such a horrible idea? as a biologist, I can tell you that it is in a nature of any being with a nervous system to get high. so, it is a normal human behavior. horrible idea is to criminalize normal human behavior. horrible idea is to push drug production into pristine jungle and then to spray it with pesticides, to spend enormous amounts of scarce resources killing and incarcerating fellow human beings. horrible idea is to listen to brainless and factless government lies. educate yourself a little bit
i know, there will b change. hurray! the war is won! a victory! lets wave the flags now
Al Capone, Bugsby Seigel, Bonnie and Clyde, Teflon Don.
The U.S. was an one time similar to Mexico concerning
organized crime. These days, technology can help
thwart crime. Mexico could be cartel free if they
really want to.
If you think organized crime ain't alive and well in the US, you're smokin' too much of what they're bringin' over the border these days...
Technology and legalizing booze...
Correction: Mexico could be cartel free if the US really wanted to. To stop its population from buying drugs that is.
(The Economist uses inverted commas around drug "cartels", because unlike real cartels, they strongly believe in competition.)
Are you having a laugh? I guess their strong belief in competition explains why these gangs are always killing their competitors?
That was exactly the point.
Well, it certainly isn't collusion!
I'm a Mexican and I hope all the war in my country ends soon. No matter where the people was trained, of their beliefs, blood only encourage more blood and no one deserves that, and less for drugs.
Lascano was borne in a small town near my hometown and then he grow up in my hometown (his house is like 1 mile away from the military house in my town).
He built a church and donated a lot of money to the poor, more that what the government/police have done. I do not agree with the life he choose and of course he should be punished for it (he has already).
The article forgot to mention that a gang went to morgue and stole Lascano's body last night!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, now added a sentence re the body snatchers
Besides the church and donations he gave an opportunity to many of an earlier meeting with their creator...
As I understand it, the Zetas were actually trained in the U.S. to ... wait for it ... fight the cartels. They really ought to go after the entire Lazcano family ... and extended family ... and their extended family. Call it "moral cleansing" to put all these idiots on notice.
wow, very humane approach. i can smell that you are definitely not an idiot. put your stupid government on notice. they already lost their stupid unwinnable war on human nature, aka "war on drugs". but they sure washed your brains clean of gray matter
Indeed my wife, who is from Mexico, warned me that the reason cartels are able to thrive as they do is because the citizens themselves view them as heroes. Songs are written glorifying them. I suspect that is where you are coming from. Interestingly though, she insists this guy is no capo. That he is far too young.
no, i am actually from the US, the great state of colorado. i came here as a teenager in 1991 from the ex soviet union. i am a biochemist, pharm chemist and i work in a burgeoning mmj industry. i have experienced all these unnecessary, criminal and wasteful drug wars first hand in mexico and in the us. those guys think of them as heroes, because they truly r heroes that go against government lies and distortions for the sake of prison/law enforcement industrial complex. people that think that anyone should b killed, let alone those people's extended family, r the ones with the problem. y compita, yo parlo castellano, vuelvo en estos senderos y conosnco un par de cosas. para mi tu esposa no es ninguna autoridad. by the by, that picture of lazca is about 20 years old
"Parlo" is Italian, not Spanish
amongst many (some of them italian)-sinaloenses, duraguenses y michoacanos with which i deal, with we say parlo. any mexican would understand. a veces charlamos o platicamos o conversemos y etcetera. pos, qualquera te gusta, guey. entiendes, mendes? i hope for the fine connoisseurs of spanish language, which i am sure u r, would understand a lil pun, no?
No shit Sherlock , I think felipetrece knows.
That would be "conversamos", not "conversemos".

A great site for a web and front-end designer based in Italy. I particularly like the use of blue as a strong highlight colour and the consistent theme of the site. The layout is intuitive while the dark background helps it to stand out from the crowd.
Posted in Web Design → DesignAn incredibly sleek and stylish branding example. I love the repeated pattern and geometric focus of the business card design. These cards would be sure to fascinate anyone they were given to.
Posted in Branding → Business CardsA brutally clean site for a seasoned graphic designer. The layout is intuitive but could use more interesting details. I do, however, like the restrained monochrome social networking icons.
Posted in Web Design → DesignAn excellent icon design that flourishes through its use of detail. I love the way the brush fades into nothing and the depth of the design. Good use of patterns and transparency help to bring the icon to life.
Posted in Interface → OtherIncredibly striking business cards for a nightclub that grab your attention with their use of hot pink. I like the simplicity inherent in the design, the bold colour being the primary element.
Posted in Branding → Business CardsA simply great site for a design agency that makes an immediate impact. I really like the use of a bold and striking slider and the clean gallery of recent work. The layout is intuitive and lends itself well to exploration.
Posted in Web Design → DesignA stunning example of iOS icon design that takes its inspiration directly from the grill of the Maserati Quattroporte. I love the sleek design and attention paid to lighting, this icon truly stands out.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppA simple but strong design for a business card that makes an impact solely with type. The colour palette is relatively neutral but gives the cards a sleek and stylish feel.
Posted in Branding → Business CardsA great example of clean and beautiful UI button design. I love the restrained use of colour and the depth given to the design.
Posted in Interface → OtherThe boldness of this logo is what really stands out here. The thick lines making an immediate impact. I like the bright red chosen, but feel the design itself could use some clarity - is it a mountain?
Posted in Branding → LogoA great site for a designer that adequately showcases his knack for illustration. I like the simple and clean layout and the personal touches. The restrained use of colour helps to highlight certain aspects of the design.
Posted in Web Design → DesignWhile an abstract logo can sometimes distract from what it is the person (or company) does, this particular example is easily intriguing enough. I love the variety of colours and shapes that make up the design.
Posted in Branding → LogoA great example of a grid layout, this site is entirely consumed by a fascinating design portfolio. I love the colour variety and diversity of the images, while the black boxes add some interesting contrast to the design.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA gorgeous icon design for an iOS app that searches Facebook. I love the attention to detail and the concept behind the icon. It's immediately obvious what this app does, and that's a strong positive.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppA simple but effective logo design that aims to make a statement about the company itself. I like the restrained colour palette and the use of a recognisable shape.
Posted in Branding → LogoA solid and striking site for a design agency. I like the single screen layout and the effort that has gone into giving the company a branding theme. The illustration on the left can't fail to make an impact.
Posted in Web Design → DesignA wonderfully sleek example of personal branding. The matt black works supremely well! The cohesion between the designs is really strong, they're easily recognisable as belonging together.
Posted in Branding → Business Cards

An open lung biopsy is surgery to remove a small piece of tissue from the lung. The sample is then examined for cancer, infection, or lung disease.
Biopsy - open lung
An open lung biopsy is done in a hospital operating room under general anesthesia, which means you are asleep and pain-free. A tube will be placed through your mouth and into the airway that leads to the lungs.
After cleaning the skin, the surgeon makes a cut in the chest area and removes a small piece of lung tissue. The wound is closed with stitches.
A chest tube may be left in place for 1 - 2 days to prevent the lung from collapsing.
Today, most centers use a technique called video-assisted thoracoscopy, which uses a camera and tiny instruments to biopsy the lung. With this method, only two small cuts are made. There is much less pain and the recovery is much faster.
You should tell the health care provider if you are pregnant, allergic to any medications, and if you have a bleeding problem. Be sure to tell your doctors and nurses about all the medicines you take, including herbs, supplements, and those bought without a prescription.
You will be asked not to eat or drink for 8 to 12 hours before the procedure.
When you wake up after the procedure, you will feel drowsy for several hours. You may have a mild sore throat from the tube. You will feel some discomfort and pain at the site of the biopsy.
The open lung biopsy is done to evaluate lung problems seen on x-ray or CT scan.
The lungs and lung tissue will be normal.
Abnormal results may be due to:
The procedure may help diagnose a number of different conditions, such as:
There is a possibility of infection or an air leak into the chest. Your risk depends on whether or not you already have lung disease.

Rhubarb Fool with Gingersnap Crumbs
After making the rhubarb syrup I had a bunch of rhubarb solids leftover and although they were a little mashed from sieving the syrup from them they were darn tasty and there was no way that I was just going to discard them. In fact they were pretty much a rhubarb compote and I was all set to enjoy them warm over some melting vanilla ice cream until I came across the idea of a rhubarb fool with gingersnap crumbs on Cookin' Canuck and I changed my plans immediately. I am no stranger to rhubarb fools as I have been experimenting with them for a while now but I had not thought to add gingersnap crumbs and now that I had the idea in my head I just had to try it. A fool is a pretty simple concept being cooked fruit with whipped cream and in this case crumbled gingersnap cookies were added. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the way the crunchy gingery crumbs worked with the sweet and tart rhubarb and the pillowy soft whipped cream and trying to find more them was almost like digging for treasure!

Anita I am very much enjoying my long blog break, and this break has helped make me realize that when I return I will be blogging only on a part time basis. Life is too short so I now only want to blog when I feel like it or want to, and I do hope you enjoy your break from blogging and come back with a clear head and maybe decide how you wish to blog in the future. Your non-Amish buddy Richard
ReplyDeleteOh Anita,
I will miss you so. Please stop by sometimes, as the blogging world will not be the same without you. I understand, dear, because if anyone ever deserved a break, it would be YOU. You GIVE greatly, and you always make us feel so special on a regular basis, and bring light and love to all of our lives. This is great news about your friend's book, and I will check it out right now. It looks like a sweet one.
Have a nice time off, and e-mail me sometime so I can get a bit of that sunshine that you so lovingly give.
Bless you, my sweet angel.
~Sheri at Red Rose Alley
Why are we all feeling a need to step away from blogging? I feel like that as well…I don't like the fact that I've cornered myself into certain posts on certain days. Its making me feel trapped! Surely you will be back? We will miss you! Funny you posted this today as it's been on my heart…and Ice Cream has been on my mind! And my husband and I are literally booking our trip to St. Lucia in about an hour as he chose it for his 50th birthday! I just saw the ad at the bottom of your post! Small world we live in! Glad blogging keeps us together in some ways!
ReplyDeleteI know you will return when you're ready. I also understand how difficult it is to fit everything in, especially now that you are involved in your entrepreneurial ventures. I wishing you much sweet success and a wonderful good time off on holiday.
You cannot hide your light, Anita, where ever you are you will shine.
Oh such nice happiness from your post Anita. It has been so refreshing. I love the 1995 'Sense and Sensibility'. I loved this music. Just before I read your post I had some Rocky Road ice cream. Awh, how timely.
I loved the fun red curly font you used. I love the frilly signs of feminine friendship and the happiness of this post. Remember 'happiness' is my word for 2013. Yup, I am happy to be 60 and have many tell me I don't look it. Wow, I'm so grateful for awesome blog friends, like you!
And, you my dear Anita, don't look at all near your calendar age. You look 35 tops!
Well, you know I have been on a break since last year. Still undecided if I want to take it up again, but I do try and keep up with reading other blogs when I can. We all have changes in our lives and passions and interests can come and go. we also need to recharge our batteries! Hope you enjoy your break friend!~Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteIndeed, the time has come to quiet our souls, my friend. As you know, the shop's hanging up its own "Gone Fishing" sign. :)
I anticipate your return and all the new stories your heart will reveal.
Love Koralee's page. I must go take a peek at her new book.
BRAVO on your newest illustrations. You are a blessing to me and to so many.
Besos y abrazos!!
Oh my DEAR FRIEND!! You are way too kind ...I can not find the words to express how much this post means to me. Thank you so much...just to know you have my book on your coffee table makes me so so happy! I truly feel blessed to call you my friend.
That quote is so perfect!..."be enthusiastic about the success of others just as you are about your own" ..You are a GEM! A shining beauty loved by so many because you truly care about others! Thank you. xoxoxoxo
Will miss your grace and beauty in your postings during your break. I am sure it's a much needed break, a relaxing getaway perhaps, or just taking time to reflect, and inspiring the soul with the inspiration all around you.
Take this time to clear your space and create soulfully.
Lots of love.
Anita, i am excited. To see what your grey desk has turned out to look like, and where you placed it, and best how it brings your space to life. It's so French to see the calm of grey in a home, it really truly speaks to ones French home, or the peacefulness of grey in what it adds to a cottage look.
Anita! What part of California are you visiting, and is this business or just pure relaxation for what's next in store for you.
You are leaving in March right? But taking this time to prepare for it right. Well do stop by if you can, I would love to see your beauty over at my place.
I sent you my two latest theatres and the very next day I listed them they both sold to the same lady. I was over joyed that she is finding inspiration in the soul I try to create for others to enjoy.
I made two large ones so very close in style, and a small one, I am holding back on one for myself, it's one I want to add to, and create an exposition where I can create a new place of drama.
Let me know where in California you are traveling to is it with your hubby?
Rest, take in the calm, knowing that when our needs get met, we don't seem to need them anymore.
Blessings in your travels, take in all that it has to offer you.
Dear Anita, Seems to be something in the air, all my special bloggers I follow are taking time away. Your creative soul needs a rest, hope it's Paris where you will be shining like a star into the wee hours! You will be missed but we all have to take time away. Bless you and yours and hope you return soon.
The French Hutch
Dearest Anita,
so sweet your post and tribute to sweet success and Koralees new book! It looks gorgeous and so like her!
Hope you enjoy you break - sometimes we do need one, i know! Thank you so much for your visit and always encouraging comment - you make me smile!
Are you wprking on new paper projects?
Keep warm and have the most joyful day!
hey lovely lady - I hope you are stopping for good reasons (and not just fallen out of love with your blog like me!)
AND I hope it does you good. I will miss your posts and your words of wisdom...and will be awaiting your return. As will all you blogging pals!
sending lots and lots of love across the pond,
fee x
~ Lovely Anita, I do hope YOU and YOURS are running away with those gypsies for a short while to energise and re charge!I always play your wonderful music whilst I read and very often reread your beautiful words....Thank you for always being a generous and kind friend on here...I will check out this beautiful book too! With the kindest thoughts....Maria x
ReplyDeleteOh Anita! Hi, my dear friend! Yes, having my family take me out to dinner was a complete surprise. I had had my siblings and my dd's fams over on Sunday night. Then on Monday morning they invited me to dinner and I ate toooo much....!
Today I have been very good girl and then I come to your post again and see that bite taken out of the ice cream icicle and my mouth says YES!!!! hahahahahaha. Yet... I did resist. BIG (hug)
Dear Anita, Just got on my feet again from my battle with the flu. I have been sick alot this winter, so maybe need to give some attention to my immune system. I went back and read your "cool" post. I am the fire in this relationship and if Tim didn't cool me off from time to time I would probably go up in smoke!! As always I loved the song and your translation was wonderful. Oh how I wanted to be the woman in the straw hat!!!
Now what's this about you taking a break? Enjoy yourself and take some time......just not too much. I am being selfish and I'm not ashamed of it!! Your posts lift all our spirits and you are a drug we can't do without for long. Seriously I understand that sometimes you need a break from even something you enjoy. I am almost ready for one.I just found out that someone called skeeslouisesays.blog has copied all 83 of my 2012 posts and has started on 2013. They are all on her blog, word for word, picture for picture. I have turned it in to google and they are removing them one by one.
Anyway, be blessed and know you will be missed!! Hugs, Lisa
Anita, thanks for the visit. If you go to skeezlouisesays.blogspot.com you will see where she has a blog called Nice Picture. Click on that and you will see everything.
I saw that the music was not there for Garcon Glason so I went to Youtube and found an April March video that had the French (and what looked like Chinese) I could read some but had to use my handy dandy google translator to get the rest. I didn't want to miss out!! I didn't know her so am glad to learn of a new artist.Have a delightful vacation.
I just ordered Koralee's book. If not for coming over to your beautiful post I would have missed this wonderful endeavour. I cannot wait to get it and display it in the PINK cottage.
I'm actually going to be in Vancouver in August and Washington State. I think I am going to visit Rose in Abbotsford this time. Girlfriend time at the beach in Birch Bay. Randy's mom has a cabin there. It's time to visit it one last time.
Take a lovely break and enjoy your wee trip. I know you will.
Stay warm my sweet Anita.
I LOVE you
Hello little bluebirds!
I have always loved this little box Anita. It was very hard for me to let go of but I knew it needed to come to your house perhaps for about 10 years and then can you send it back???? Ha ha, tee hee...I love you, you know I'm just playing!
Happy you are taking a break and what a great accomplishment this, her very own book!
Thank you for coming to my color show Anita! Yes - time is such a luxury - especially nowadays. But as an artist, mostly you do pay for it. That is because i love how my friend keeps going! But you do too my friend, and so beautifully! Have an amazing weekend, full of joy, creativity and LOVE! xox
ReplyDeleteDear one....how late I am!!!
You know of my computer issues...I do not like coming to your posts late at all...
You are the kindest, most generous friend! I cannot wait to get Koralee's beautiful book...so exciting!
And this exquisite piano piece...I did not want it to end....
Sending you my love, chere amie...
And a tight hug...
Love you,
- Irina
Hello lovely Anita!
Are you taking a long break from blogging? The blogging world will not be the same without you, you know! Your book WILL arrive before your absence! How are you Anita? How is your art? I am thinking up some new ideas. I must for it is not good to stay in the same groove. I am excited about this although there is always the underlying guilt of not making a comfortable salary. Do you understand that?
There is so much I love visually about your post. Those spotty tights, the Repetto shoes (love them) and your exquisite header. I do believe that sweetmeats are possibly more attractive to the eye than to the palate!
I am seriously in love with that book. She really has stayed true to her love of colours and the theme is wonderful; just my thing.
Hi dearest Anita!!!!!
What a fun post- and I love ice cream!!!!!!
I love the mint green colored photos you post of heels and dresses- it's such a cool color!!!!!
Did you watch the Oscars red carpet? I thought Anne Hathaway looked so pretty in her Prada dress (the back was gorgeous) and Tiffany jewels.
We had a major snow & ice storm here last Thursday. We got almost 6 inches of snow & ice!!!!! It looks beautiful!!!!!
Hope you had a great weekend!!!!!
Hi Anita, its Jan, not George this time.
Enjoy your break, I am finding it hard getting back into blogging having had time out to help Mom and Stepdad move, some days I just don't go on the PC and have not been keeping up with friends.
Hope to find my mojo soon lol.
Have fun, not long till St George's Day when George will be barking out about it.
Love and Hugs Jan, George and Tiny Tess xxx
Dearest Anita, thanks for your lovely visit! Glad you like the butterfly quote - and of course you can use it! It's nit from me, but the author is unknown, so i didn't put anything. Hope you enjoy your break, I'm very tired and feel like i need one too, but also want to get on with my new designs. Let's see! Havea cozy and delightful evening, until soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Anita! Isn't Koralee's book wonderful!?!
It's such eye candy! The ice cream ideas are fabulous and the crafts are sweet.
I have to admit, I've taken an unplanned break from frequent blogging just because life has been coming at lightening speed! It seems like every time I might have a little free time, something big comes along...
I do love posting and visiting everyone though. I know a balance will soon come.
This school year and helping my aging father and little old Misty (who's 17+) has kept me hopping.
I hope you are doing well, Anita!
God bless you always
- Maria
Hello Sweet Anita!
I hope this finds you well and happy. You are so fun to go to my posts early and give me an instant smile with I see your name/site name right off first thing. You are a good friend!
I 'AM' having a great time with my posts lately. I affectionately term it 'dress up'! You should see my Master BR when I am done. Oh my goodness, my HM could claim it grounds for divorce, hahahaha. But my HM is so nice and he spoils me and doesn't EVER cause me any consternation. Isn't that wonderful?
Have a great evening and do consider modeling on your posts. DO!!!
Hello Anita,
Oh, I loved your comment today so much, thank you. You cry easily too, and you get that from your dad - how wonderful! I bet your parents were so special to you. I cry at weddings, funerals, and especially at my kid's graduations. There's something about their achievements that tear me up. I love what you had to say, and I even forwarded your comment to the girls. I told them you have a way with words. I didn't realize that it may be a gift.....thank you so much for your visit. Whenever I see your face, I am filled with joy.
~Love, Sheri
Dearest Anita, thank you SO MUCH for your sweet comment on my blog design! So glad you like it. I've been wanting to do this for quite some time, but never got around to it ... and, indeed, it IS wonderful an exiting to start over again! I feel, this is vital for me somehow, also in my painting and with the magazine, This gives me energy!
If you hop on over today, the giveaway is up now - you can win a pair of fashionable eyeglasses - have a look!
Love, M.
Stopped by to grab your web address from the menu bar because my list of Beautiful Storytellers disappeared yesterday and I am running around like a mother hen gathering her chics. :) Thought I'd leave another hello here. I hope you know how highly your posting is missed, but I also hope you are good to yourself and enjoy your time off.
Love you.
YOU have been a busy girl this week! How was High School? Thank you for the sweet email this morning....I have been running all day long today. Time to sit with a cup of tea for a few minutes before I do more running...I have to now get my daughter from ballet and then take her to meet with her friends and then one more late night drive to pick her up...the hat I wear tonight is the one of a Taxi driver...my sweet husband has the flu bug now..so it is all up to me. I will probably get in a few more cuppas tonight yet. xox
Make it a great weekend...hugs and love to you.
My sweet Anita, yes, REST is wonderful - sometimes the very bet thing! Just came home from a awlk through town and along the river. It was the first day since WEEKS here with blue sky and sunshine and i enjoyed it so much! Noe, i feel like resting too ;) A nice cup of tea anda little bit of blog visits. Hope your weekend is sweet and wonderful. Are you going away at all now, or just stay home and take it easy? LOVE! xox
ReplyDeleteOh Anita I have been away for nearly a week at a 'Carerfest' with no internet....I can't believe How much I have missed....and have so much catching up to do!
Now I think I need a bowl of ice cream to get over it all LOL! Enjoy your break....Much Love to you on this Autumnal Sunday...Dzintra xo
Hello beautiful Anita!!!!!
I will miss your blog but totally understand- breaks are a necessary thing!!!!!
I will keep stopping by to leave messages to you though plus to see when you resume blogging again....
How was your weekend? We continue to have snow here which I love but funny how it's late in the season!!!!
Have you been buying any new spring clothes/shoes yet? I haven't- I keep seeing winter items I love!!!!!! :-)
I wish we lived closer so we could meet up for coffee!!!!
Hope you have a fabulous Monday & keep checking for my messages when you get a chance so we can chat....
Love ya!!!!!
My dear zusje
How I wish you could be at my
vriendinnen-verjaardag .
I received Koralee's book as a gift from Saskia .
Absolutely wonderful and SO KORALEE !
If you were asked to write/make a book
what would it be about ?
oeverhere the sun is shining
and it is for the first time this year I am sitting here with the door open . The door in my livingroom to the garden .
You are such a blessing in my life Anita.
You always find beautiful and inspiring and comforting words for me .
I let them in my heart and muse about them .
You are right
Life is getting me in a beautiful happy and stressless part and ALL will turn out for the best .
I think of you and pray life will bring you too to happy times .
Big sister-hug !
Hello my friend, so nice of you to stop by the shop this morning. Even though we keep in touch in other ways of communication, you are highly missed in blogland, but I look forward to more inspiration from you which I know you will enjoy even more so when you are rested. I have been posting a little here and there, but still taking my time getting back to the art table. Maybe soon because I have a few spring goodies up my sleeve, and Easter is early this year.
Dear Anita, thank you for your very kind comment...I have been inundated lately and feel like I am buried in piles of boxes, but it will come together...My family and I love ice cream! My husband's family started the first ice cream bar in our area in the early '50's...so we know a thing or two about ice cream!! Koralee's book looks wonderful, what a fab idea for her! I will look into more carefully when I have a minute....I am hoping you will find your path clearing again very soon, hugs and love to you, N.xo
ReplyDeleteOh Anita! You are so fun and funny. Too bad you have tons of snow! We are having nice weather finally [ 45° ] and sunny. I am so glad to have winter acting like it is behind us [HM and me]. We still have snow on our lawn but there is green grass around the edges. Snow has stayed on our lawn since Christmas Eve.
Your ice cream banner is so tempting, stop it!
Thank you sweet friend for your analysis of my blog/posts, etc. It is nice to hear that it is evident. Yay! (hug) and :D to you!
