Posted on 02. Feb, 2012 by admin.
The race for Commissioner of El Paso County’s Pct, 3 has some interesting characteristics, twists and turns in that almost every candidate has political experience in one way or another. Take, for instance, the campaign of Dora Oaxaca. She has been largely instrumental in helping several candidates win their political campaigns, including Chente Quintanilla.

Guide a Heroic Trio Through ‘Trine 2′
Posted on 13. Jan, 2012 by admin.
“Trine” was a surprise hit in 2009 due to its unique blend of various genres that offered addictive 2-D game play set against stunning 3-D backgrounds.

Removing concrete barriers from busy city streets, tearing down fences that had provided protection in tough neighborhoods, undertakers upset because the murders in Juarez have dissipated somewhat, Mexican President Felipe Calderon prancing about proclaiming that his war on the drug cartels is taking fruit because the violence is slowly ebbing and coming to a halt.

Posted on 05. Jan, 2012 by admin.
Mexicans are lucky, especially the children. They get to celebrate Christmas twice. Not only do they wait with anticipation to see the fat man – Santa Claus – climb down that ole chimney, but, on January 6 they get to celebrate again.

Prepare for Doomsday Dec. 21, 2012? It boggles the mind

Hey, that’s only twelve months or so from today. A bucket list, of course, is an item that lays down all the things you’d like to accomplish before your demise. And, if the Mayan Calendar is correct, then, my friends, you don’t have that much time. What is not understood, however, is that if the Mayans were considered to be ignorant and primitive savages – why is so much credibility being given to their prediction? Of course everyone knows they weren’t ignorant, the Mayans created the Concept of Zero – without which man wouldn’t have landed on the moon. But, there you have it.
