An exhibit of ancient, ceramic statuettes, the likes of which have not been seen here before, is showing at the Museo Regional in downtown Guadalajara until April 14.

In Guadalajara they tell you to be extra careful when visiting Mexico City. Chilangos, they say, are an untrustworthy lot – they’d steal your last penny if they could.  But my brief experience in the capital tells a different story: a remarkable weekend during which, rather than becoming hungry and homeless after my initial plans were somewhat ruptured, I would experience the remarkable kindness of strangers and have my faith in humanity restored in the most unlikely of cities.

A call I receive on a regular basis comes from someone pleading for help in recovering a lost email password.  The big three free email providers (Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo) all have established practices governing how a lost password may be recovered, and I am quite familiar with all these procedures.  After years of experience I am usually able to make a quick determination as to whether or not a person will be able to recover their email account.  Unfortunately, it is often the case that the caller does not know enough information and I can see right away that they will never be able to recover their lost email account.  With the right information it is usually possible to recover an account though.

The news of the arrest of teacher’s union boss Elba Esther Gordillo on Tuesday evening stunned the nation.

Isabel Gonzalez gently embraces Daisy in her arms, breaking into a contented smile. She attentively takes in instructions on post-operative care for her beloved pet as the one-year-old mixed breed pup awakes from the effects of anesthesia after being spayed during the February 15-17 sterilization campaign carried out at Chapala’s Ramon Corona Primary School. Gonzalez is happy she won’t ever have to cope with bothersome heats and the task of finding homes for Daisy’s unwanted offspring.
