Nobody profits from the violence in Juarez, says El Paso Realtor

Posted on 12. Mar, 2010 by admin.

El Paso realtor Juan Uribe warns that as long as school children continue buying drugs from Mexico, they are financing the cartels. “By paying anywhere from $40 to $100 for marijuana and other drugs, they are financing the cartels and helping to create the deadly violence Juarez, Mexico, and in other parts of the Republic.”
The war that’s being waged between battling cartels has impacted heavily on the once peaceful community. Estimates are that as many as 4,700 Juarenses have been killed in the last two years because of the war being waged by the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes gang against that of Joaquin “Chapo” Guzman. The two groups are fighting for control of the lucrative drug corridor between Ciudad Juarez and El Paso, a corridor that leads further inland to the United States, where drugs generate many more riches.

Posted on 05. Mar, 2010 by admin.

The first thing Ozzy Osbourne does to set the record straight in his autobiography, the best-selling “I Am Ozzy,” is to acknowledge that his recollections of the past may differ from those of, well anyone and everyone else.

“Over the past 40 years,” writes heavy metal’s Prince of Darkness, “I’ve been loaded on booze, coke, acid, Quaaludes, glue, cough mixture, heroin, Rohypnol, Klonopin, Vicodin, and too many other heavy-duty substances to list in this footnote. On more than a few occasions I was on all of those at the same time. I’m not the (expletive) Encyclopaedia Britannica. … What you read here is what dribbled out of the jelly I call my brain when I asked it for my life story. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Halter problems? Try a harness

Posted on 05. Mar, 2010 by admin.

Q: I’ve heard that head halters can cause serious injuries if used incorrectly. A too-abrupt tug could jerk a dog’s head, causing neck or spinal injuries, couldn’t it? — S.T., via e-mail

A: Anything’s possible, which is why I don’t recommend using a head halter with one of those long, reel-type leashes. The force of a running dog hitting the end of a 30-foot line does have the potential to cause injury.
