onterrey, Mexico’s third largest city and the so-called “Sultan of the

North” is, in fact, a truly surprising city. A powerhouse of business and industry, this city is one of the most important production and trade centers in the country. But there is much more to Monterrey than just business and industry.

A modern, well-planned city that is easy to navigate and full of cultural offerings, Monterrey is populated by friendly and helpful people, who are eager to present their city as the most advanced city in Mexico. Monterrey's population of over one million (three million in the urban area) is the most educated in México and the city on a per capita basis has more colleges, universities and institutes of technology, than any other Mexican city. Another example of this city's progressive stature is the fact that over twenty percent of México's computers are said to be located in Monterrey.

There are a number of nearby attractions for tourists, especially those interested in a vacation complimented by all of the amenities that are associated with the convenience that a large city offers. Quality restaurants, modern shopping malls, numerous museums and cultural attractions abound here. The mountains, canyons and desert that surround the city offer pleasant diversion and a wide variety of tourist activities, many of which are not readily available anywhere else in Mexico. Some of the México's best

M hiking, mountain biking, cave exploring and nature areas are located within fairly close proximity to the city.

A visit to Monterrey is sure to surprise even the most accomplished traveler. Tourists often overlook this charming city, opting for the beach resorts and the promotional popularity of other Mexican cities. As word of Monterrey spreads, this should change. Tourism has become more prevalent in recent years, as traveling businessmen spread the word about Monterrey and even return to vacation with their families.

Macro Plaza - The City's Center

Macro Plaza, or Gran Plaza, is definitely the centerpiece attraction in Monterrey. The Faro de Comercio, or Tower of Commerce, dominates the landscape of the Macro Plaza, and is the highest monument in México. Most nights a beam of red laser light circles the city from atop the tower, making for some interesting effects when it scans the nearby mountains. The tower is a great starting point for a leisurely stroll through the heart of Monterrey. The plaza is long (6 blocks) and narrow (1block) and is almost as big in total area as the Zocalo in México City. The plaza is really a series of smaller plazas joined together to form a pedestrian plaza with fountains, parks, benches, shade trees, the city theatre and bandstands.

In close proximity to the plaza are, numerous museums, the city's beautiful cathedral, Paseo Santa Lucia

and Barrio Antiguo. You could easily spend a couple of full days enjoying the contents of the city's museums. Paseo Santa Lucia, adjacent to the Museum of Mexican History, is a pleasant diversion from the bustling city, with a walkway along a canal; sidewalk cafes and you may be lucky enough catch some entertainment, be it planned or impromptu. The Paseo is an especially pleasant spot to visit in the evenings when the quiet atmosphere and unique lighting make for a very pleasant experience.

The state tourism office is located nearby at 5 de Mayo 525 Ote., in the Elizando Páez Building, they have a good variety of maps and brochures, describing the city's many attractions. All booklets and maps are dispensed free of charge by a friendly bilingual staff.

A unique way to see the Macro Plaza, Barrio Antiguo and the downtown area, which is also known as Zona Rosa, is to hire a horse drawn carriage. These unique carriages and can be hired in several locations downtown, ask about these tours at your hotel. Trolley tours are also an easy way to get acquainted with the heart of Monterrey. The replicas of old fashion trolleys operate every half hour or so and you can catch the trolley in front of the Howard Johnson Hotel or in front of the MARCO museum. Allow at least a few hours for exploring Macro Plaza, Barrio Antiguo and the city center.

01Anemia Women in their reproductive years may develop anemia particularly if they experience heavy menstrual cycles. The bleeding leads to a deficiency in hemoglobin and when your tissues and organs don't get enough oxygen, she says, the result is fatigue.

03Undiagnosed Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Although most women associate a urinary tract infection with symptoms such as burning or urgency, Goldberg says in some instances fatigue may be your only clue. Some women have mild or no symptoms at all, except for fatigue.

05Sleep Apnea Not getting enough sleep is a valid reason to be tired, but what if you don't know that you aren’t getting sufficient sleep? This is often the case with a condition called sleep apnea -- a sleep disorder that causes you to momentarily stop breathing, often many times during the night causing constant fatigue during the day.

02Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)

If you are generally sluggish, run down, and even a little depressed, Goldberg says the problem may be a slow thyroid, also known as hypothyroidism, which basically means a slow metabolism which determines the speed at which your body operates.

04Caffeine Overload

Many of us grab a coffee or cola for a quick burst of energy, but for some women, caffeine can have the opposite effect. The solution: Eliminate as much caffeine from your diet as possible.

twoBright blue mascaraTeal or cerulean mascara is young, punkish and more suited for rebellious teens. Indigo and navy, on the other hand, are polished and chic for 20-somethings and beyond. Dark blue mascara can brighten up the whites of your eyes, which is especially useful when

you’re tired or your eyes are bloodshot. “It’s pretty on all eye colors and flattering to everyone. If blue still seems too outrageous, you can go for a more subtle look by applying regular black mascara and just tipping the edges of your lashes with blue.

fourFoundation line on jaw To avoid a telltale foundation mask, the first step is to select the right shade. Try these tips: pick out several shades and then test a few on your cheek. Step outside into natural light and use a hand mirror to see which shade looks best on you. Our necks are often a different color than our faces and chests, so it’s important to blend foundation down into the neck for a uniform color. Use a makeup sponge to create a seamless edge.

oneObvious line of blushToss out the dinky brush that came in the compact. A bigger brush will distribute the color more evenly. After you dip the brush into the blush, knock it gently on the back of your hand to get rid of excess powder smile and apply the blush in short, upward strokes on the apples of your cheeks, blending up to the hairline and ear. “It will give you a flushed, natural glow.” Finding your best blush color may require some experimentation… or a visit to a makeup counter. But as a rule of thumb, bright colors are a definite don’t. When in doubt, stick with a pinky/peach hue with a soft shimmer.

fiveLining eyes only halfwayA strong, hard line all the way around your eye can make your peepers look smaller and closer together, but lining them only halfway looks silly. The solution? A softer line can make your eyes look bigger. Start lining your top and bottom lids at the inner edge of the iris and extend the liner to the outer corner of your eye. Then, gently smudge the line toward the inner corner of your eye to create a softer look.

threeCaking on foundation over bad skinSuffocating your skin with a heavy cover-up will only draw attention to the problem you’re trying to hide. Instead, try these tricks: For fine lines: Mix in a little moisturizer with your foundation, which will prevent the formula from seeping into the lines. For blemishes: “Mineral makeup can give great coverage for pockmarks and acne.

sTHE BLONDE

A blonde called her boyfriend and said, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I

can't figure out how to get it started." Her boyfriend asked, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"

The blonde said, "According to the picture on the box, it's a tiger." Her boyfriend decided to go over and help

with the puzzle. She let him in and showed him where she had the puzzle spread all over the table.

He studied the pieces for a moment, then looked at the box, then tur ned to her and said, "First of all, no matter

what we do,we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger."

He took her hand and said, "Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of hot chocolate and then . ..

" he sighed, "Let's put all these frosted flakes back in the box."

WHO WEAR THE PANTS?Mike was going to be married to Karen, so his father sat him down for a little chat. He said, 'Mike, let me tell you something.

On my wedding night in our honeymoon suite I took off my pants, handed them to your mother, and said, 'Here - try these on.' She did

and said, 'These are too big, I can't wear them.' I replied, 'Exactly, I wear the pants in this family and I always will.' 'Ever since that

night we never had any problems.' 'Hmmm,' said Mike. He thought that might be a good thing to try. So, on his honeymoon, Mike took

off his pants and said to Karen, 'Here – try these on.' She tried them on and said, 'These are too large. They don't fit me.' Mike said,

'Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will. I don't want you to ever forget that.' Then Karen took off her pants and handed

them to Mike. She said, 'Here-you try on mine.' He did and said, 'I can't get into your pants.' Karen said, 'Exactly. And if you don't

change your smart ass attitude, you never will.

Un secreto indispensable para enriquecer nuestra existencia y

mejorar nuestra calidad de vida, es el de desarrollar, cultivar y

fortalecer nuestra vida interior. Dedique cada día unos valiosos e

importantes minutos para meditar relajadamente sobre lo que está

haciendo con su vida, hágase preguntas y busque calmadamente las

respuestas en su interior, hágalo en silencio y en paz. Poco a poco

empezarán a surgir las respuestas.

Tenga siempre muy presente y no olvide ni por un minuto que la parte

más importante de usted mismo es su ser interno, su alma, su mente,

su espíritu, lo que está dentro de usted, sin esa parte invisible e interna

usted sólo sería una masa de huesos y carne. Dedique tiempo

importante a su ser interior, medite, ore, piense, enriquezca y fortalezca

su espiritualidad, allí encontrará todas las respuestas. Escúchese.

Look For Free Lock-InsThat Last For 60 Days Or More

hile it typically takes about 45 days from the time of application to get to closing, delays of two

months or more can occur. Look for a lock-in that lasts for 60 days or more. There should be some lenders in your area willing to offer a 60 day "lock-in" for free.

Be careful, however. The loan officer may say the lock-in is free even when a fee or a higher rate is charged for the lock-in protection.

Know Your Rescission RightIf your deal turns sour at closing, consider starting over. You have three business days from the date of closing to mull it over. If you decide to reject the deal, you must notify the lender in writing within the three-day period. The lender then has 20 days to return your fees.

Don't Assume You Won't Qualify Because You Have Little Equity In Your Home -- But Check Your Costs CarefullyMany lenders require that you have at least 10 percent equity in your home (i.e., a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 90 percent or less). But we found at least one lender in every market that was willing to underwrite loans in which the borrower had only 5 percent equity in the home. Beware, however, that low equity loans can involve relatively high mortgage insurance costs.

You may only qualify if your current loan is owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. You can find out if your loan is owned by these organizations by calling the company to whom you send your monthly payments. That company may not own the loan, but it can find out whether the secondary market agencies do by searching a computerized database.

Make "Apples To Apples" Interest Rate ComparisonsMake sure you compare interest rates using a constant number of points. An 8 percent rate tied to 2 points is a lot more expensive than an 8 percent rate tied to 0 points.

When faced with the need to compare different rate/point combinations among lenders, consumers should first convert each quoted rate to one based on a constant number of points and then find the lender with the lowest rate. In making this conversion, consumers should use a traditional rule of thumb that equates each point to a 1/4 of 1 percent change in the interest rate. This would make an 8 percent loan with 0 points equivalent to a 7.75 percent loan with 1 point.

Don't Judge A Lender By Its Application CostsLenders who lure you with no costs at application can lay thefees on heavily at closing. Keep your eyes focused primarilyon the interest rate and points.

M I C H A E L M O O R E ' s

first book in five years-a hilarious and informative guide to the 2008 election! Perfectly timed to coincide with the national political conventions. Michael Moore's previous bestseller, Dude, Where's My Country?, sold

over one million combined copies and spent 24 weeks at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. The man revered by liberals and feared by conservatives answers the tough questions everyone who cares about the American democratic process is asking, including:

Can I get into the Electoral College if I only have a 2.0 grade point average? Will Republicans marrying each other be outlawed once Democrats are in power? The 10 most frequently asked questions about voting (#6: Why do Iowa and New Hampshire go first? I don't know anyone from there.) Why are the Democrats scared of their own shadow? The 12 things Michael Moore would do if elected president (#12: Free HBO for everyone!) And most importantly...Who Would Jesus Vote For?

Cada década nos trae nuevas corrientes o cambios… ya sea en la música, la moda, el estilo de vida o la cultura y pocas son las veces que algo perdura al entrar un nuevo período. Santa Sabina es una banda que se ha mantenido firme y siempre se ha caracterizado por que nunca es lo mismo, siempre se esta re-inventando, re-descubriendo sus entrañas musicales y ofreciéndonos su alma en cada uno de sus emblemáticos discos.

La sensualidad y el talento de Rita Guerrero en la voz y letras de esta simbólica banda son parte del misticismo que se vive en cada una de sus presentaciones. Los que hemos podido estar presentes en alguno de sus conciertos, les podemos platicar que la magia, la espiritualidad y la presencia volcánica de Rita en el escenario son sensaciones y emociones imborrables. Es una experiencia completamente fuera del cosmos. Estar en un concierto de Santa Sabina es algo diferente, es un ritual, un enlace con el alma que se filtra por las arterias hasta llegar al núcleo del corazón y quedar por siempre marcado.

Obvious line of blushGet the flat belly you've always dreamed of with the brand new Flat Belly Diet! Created by the health and fitness experts you trust at Prevention, Flat Belly gives you all the tips and moves

you need to eliminate belly bulge -- for good. A Flat Belly is about food and attitude. Period.

Filled with fast, effective workouts, belly-flattening eating tips, and stay-slim-forever advice, the Flat Belly Diet Book gives you everything you need to help you flatten your stomach, trim your waist, and streamline your entire core -- in just 32 days!

When Chelsea Handler needs to get a few things off her chest, she appeals to a higher power -- vodka. You would too if you found out that your boyfriend was having an affair with a Peekapoo or if you had to pretend to be honeymooning with your father in order to upgrade to first class. Welcome to Chelsea's world -- a place where absurdity reigns supreme and a quick wit is the best line of defense. In this hilarious, deliciously skewed collection, Chelsea mines her past for stories about her family, relationships, and career that are at once singular and ridiculous. Whether she's convincing her third-grade class that she has been tapped to play Goldie Hawn's daughter in

the sequel to Private Benjamin, deciding to be more egalitarian by dating a redhead, or looking out for a foulmouthed, rum-swilling little person who looks just like her...only smaller, Chelsea has a knack for getting herself into the most outrageous situations. Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.

A lo largo de 15 años de trayectoria artística, la Santa ha dado a luz 8 discos extraordinarios, haciendo un sorpresivo debut en el año 1992 con su primer álbum intitulado simplemente Santa Sabina, que fue producido por Alejandro Marcovich, guitarrista de la desaparecida banda Caifanes.

Un elemento clave que define a Santa Sabina es que jamás, en toda su existencia, ha seguido las reglas o las propuestas comunes de las disqueras en México. La Santa siempre ha sido fiel a su estilo, combinando diferentes estilos como rock, jazz, ópera, la música del medio oriente, los sonidos acústicos y la experimentación. En cada performance, hay un amalgama de elementos artísticos como el cine Italiano de terror, el expresionismo del cine Alemán o el dramatismo y la potencia de la ópera.

La música de Santa Sabina es profunda, es intensa y sus letras poéticas envuelven a la audiencia en las espirales del subconsciente… Desde la sensual voz de Rita, el bajo trepidante de Alfonso o las guitarras exóticas de Alejandro… todo, absolutamente todo es un viaje místico… “un viaje fantástico y real, un viaje por los caminos de la fantasía y la ilusión.”

En el 2005, después de quince años de trabajo, Santa Sabina tomó un año sabático el cual se convirtió en 4 años, hasta que finalmente, después de una dolorosa y asfixiante espera, La Santa de todas las Santas regresa al estudio a grabar nuevo material. Lo último que me resta por decir sobre Santa Sabina es solamente darle las gracias por existir e impregnarnos de su música y de su arte.

A chemical reaction happens when two or more molecules interact and energy is released. Minuscule atoms clash into each other emitting enough energy that even though we are trillion of miles away, stars shine enough that we are able to see them from Earth! That's it. Two interacting molecules produce energy, power, and strength.

We, the youth, are an interacting molecule. With us, the possibilities of our effect are infinite. Who decides on new clothing trends? Who invented the cool phrases of today? Who decides which music will hit the billboards? We become passionate for something and we embrace it. Sometimes we clinch to things that lead us away from our divine purpose. Take advantage of your power; you have the potential to start a chain of reactions!

Proverbs 5My son, pay attention to my wisdom, listen well to my words of insight, for fear that you give your best strength to othersGod made you who you are. He recognizes your potential and strength. Proverbs 20:29 The glory of young men is their strength, It doesn’t matter where you stand in your relationship with God. He chose you and He will never let you go – He is within you.1 John 2:14 14 I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you.

I HOPE you join us in the journey of finding your purpose and place in God. He will lead us places we have never imagined. HOPE Youth Ministries caters to all youth age groups: HOPE Pre-Teens, HOPE Youth Group, and HOPE Singles. I strongly encourage you to be part of us.

Broad-shouldered women with proportionally narrow hips and less defined waistlines.

Broad Shoulders, Often Athletic Upper Arms.Long Slender Neck and Gorgeous Collarbones.Narrow Hips.

Style

TIPBias cut silhouettes wear beautifully on

you and enhance your demure hip curves.

On bottom feel free to indulge fun accents

like pockets and buttons.

Fabrics & Color

Smooth, tightly-woven, small-print fabrics on top to minimize shoulders. Have fun experimenting with bold prints, plaids and wools in skirts and slacks.

Lighter bottoms and bright colors add fullness to balance broad shoulders.

Pants

Boot-cut slacks nicely balance the shoulders. Ideally, they sit on or slightly above the hipbone to enhance the waistline and the flare in the leg starts below the knee. This really lengthens the leg.

Pocket details and pleats at the hips are always a good idea.

Pleats on cuffed and full-leg trousers flatter slender hips and long legs.

Fly-front, bootleg pants with side-seam detailing are very flattering.

Trims & Details

Pockets on jackets and slacks around the hip area add width to balance out your shoulders.

Cuffed and fluted sleeves also add nice fullness to the hips.

Jackets & Tops

Keep detailing, particularly on jackets, to a minimum—styles that soften the shoulders and subtly flare at the hem add balance.

Skirts & Dresses

Interesting and beautiful skirts balancing your shoulders with a bit of swing are fun and flattering.

Try gathered, sewn or un-sewn pleated skirts.

A wide-yoked, flared panel skirt balances the shoulders.

A trumpet hem balances the shoulders nicely and draws the eye to those legs of yours.

Huggy bias skirts bring out your lower body curves, so by all means wear them.

Fluttery sleeves on a bias-cut dress soften the shoulders and add curves to the hips.

Patch hip pockets with flaps and buttons on an A-line skirt add nice "weight" to the lower body.

VirgoAugust 23-September 22

A minor setback could make you fret over whether of not you'll ever get your project off the ground. Don't

despair! Minor setbacks are just part of the process, especially when it comes to starting a new venture. Chin up! You'll have things up and running in no time flat if you tackle those setbacks one at a time. You could be feeling restless. A long walk will do wonders towards sorting your thoughts out! All the hard work you've been doing will really pay off. You'll be raking in the dough!

LeoJuly 23-August 22

Things are looking pretty good for you. Okay, make that great. You've just achieved something you've been

working towards for a long time, and it may just mark a real turning point in your career. What could be better? How about the fact that you've been maintaining an excellent fitness routine throughout this high-achievement phase and look and feel great? Now you know that it's possible to be successful and healthy at the same time, so enjoy it, and keep it up! You and a colleague will be getting along great, and it looks like you'll be coming up with the next great idea for your business!

AriesMarch 21/April 19

Your prowess at the office will be matched only by your prowess at operating the office espresso machine.

You've got a foot on every rung of the ladder this month; big-picture ideas about where your workplace should be headed, as well as grace and panache whilst handling the practical, hands-on things that some people may think are beneath them. Make sure you're getting recognition all the great work you're doing.

TaurusApril 20/May 20

Oh no! It looks like you're going to be one half of a power struggle. It happens to everyone, so just

remember what you’re fighting for and follow some ground rules. Don't be pompous, arrogant, or self-righteous. Do be tolerant, and forge alliances or arbitrate whenever possible. Most importantly, hang onto those important attachments that have gotten you to where you are today. Stand your ground, but remember that getting what you want won't mean much if you burn all of your bridges along the way.

GeminiMay 21-June 21

You like people. People like you. Does your work involve people? Are there people involved in your work? If you

feel like you're flying solo too often, it might be time to consider a change. After all, not everybody is as charming and persuasive as you are, so why not take advantage of your natural gifts? Even open-minded people have their moments, so if this is one of yours, do your best to clamp down on super-bossy impulses and hear people out.

CancerJune 22-July 22

You may be feeling quite tempted to redecorate the entire office. Then you may want to overhaul your entire

work wardrobe. Next you'll probably want to get a new haircut at the most expensive salon in town, and after that you might just feel the need to do some online shopping for a new laptop (with leather bag!). Call on your clearheaded, down-to-earth side to do an immediate reality check on these impulses. If you can really afford this dramatic overhaul, and such an overhaul is needed in order to improve business, then your clearheaded, down-to-earth side will surely give your plans the go-ahead.

ScorpioOctober 23/November 21

You might find yourself smack dab in the middle of a great big career crisis! Take a deep breath. Take another

deep breath. And another. Now exhale, and take a look at the situation one more time. It's not actually a crisis, is it? It's just a problem that, like any other, is solvable. And who better to solve it than you? Keep your cool, and consider all the angles before working your way through the puzzle. Once you solve it, you'll have boosted your confidence in your ability to navigate any obstacle that might pop up along your career path.

SagittariusNovember 22/December 21

You can hardly believe your good luck! Sure you're traveling a lot for work, but you're getting frequent flyer

miles, and assignments in all kinds of exotic destinations, and really great luggage at a really great discount. This is a pretty terrific time in your career, so pack those bags and make sure to take advantage of all the good times to be had on the company dime. Your boss could throw a temper tantrum, but don't let it ruin your fun. They're probably just jealous that you're doing all the fun stuff while they're stuck at the office, so be forgiving.

CapricornDecember 22/January 19

You may run into a small obstacle at work. Maybe your internet connection is painfully slow. Maybe you can't

access the files you need. Or perhaps you just can't find your stylus. Whatever that is, put as much effort as you must into resolving the issue. After all, small obstacles can create big headaches if you don't take care of them in a hurry. You'll be ready to call it a day and head to the museum by noon. So what's stopping you? Finish up all your need-to-do work, then head out early and spend a lovely late afternoon in the sculpture garden! Spend the day getting organized.

AquariusJanuary 20/February 18

What is the single biggest issue in your career? Are you worried that you're not working enough? Are you worried

that you're working too much? Are you concerned about where your career is going? Do you worry sometimes that it's not going anywhere at all? Or maybe everything is going too far, too fast! Stop letting the big questions paralyze you. Instead, try doing things in some new ways. They may or may not help, but even the things that don't actually do, because they teach you what not to do. You’ll be feeling intellectually connected in a way that you haven't been for quite some time.

PiscesFebruary 19/March 20

Remember that your physical health is as important to your career as your financial health. After all, if you

ignore your physical well-being, you're not going to perform at your best and that will negatively impact your earning ability. Take advantage of the beautiful summertime weather to recommit yourself to taking good care of your health. Try to workout on a regular basis, even if it means skipping out of work a bit early sometimes, or a taking a longer lunch. It's going to pay off in the long run and in the short run too -- your clarity of mind and energy levels will improve almost immediately once you get started. Staying healthy will mean addressing a few problems in a professional relationship.

LibraSeptember 23/October 22

It's way past high time for you to loosen up. Start having a little bit of fun at work! Work can be play, you know, and

fun and productivity aren't mutually exclusive concepts. Why not conduct your brainstorming session over a picnic down by the river? It's your job to make your job a pleasure and not and obligation. Find ways to bring the things you love to do outside the office into your cubicle. Things will be going so well that you won't even have to remind yourself to have fun at work.
