Zetas Narco Underworld

According to legend, the various groups who were to become the Aztecs arrived from the north into the Anahuac valley around Lake Texcoco. The location of this valley and lake of destination is clear – it is the heart of modern Mexico City– but little can be known with certainty about the origin of the Aztec.

There are different accounts of their origin. In the myth the ancestors of the Mexica/Aztec came from a place in the north called Aztlan, the last of seven nahuatlacas (Nahuatl-speaking tribes, from tlaca, “man”) to make the journey southward, hence their name “Azteca.” Other accounts cite their origin in Chicomostoc, “the place of the seven caves,” or at Tamoanchan (the legendary origin of all civilizations).

The Mexica/Aztec were said to be guided by their god Huitzilopochtli, meaning “Left-handed Hummingbird” or “Hummingbird from the South.” When they arrived at an island in the lake, they saw an eagle which was perched on a nopal cactus full of its fruits (nochtli). This vision fulfilled a prophecy telling them that they should found their new home on that spot. The Aztecs built their city of Tenochtitlan on that site, building a great artificial island, which today is in the center of Mexico City. This legendary vision is pictured on the Coat of Arms of Mexico.

this is tortilla soup from sanborns, a chain in mexico.

thats not my thumbs up - in fact, i dont know whose it is.

but i do know that this tortilla soups deserves more than one thumbs up.

it is the best tortilla soup i have had in mi vida.

i had this sudden craving for it and am at a loss on how to satisfy my craving.

whenever my family and i go to mexico, i insist on going to sanborns at least once a day - sometimes twice - so i can alternate my meals between the tortilla soup and the enchiladas.

nomnomnom.

i just confirmed that there are sanborns in tijuana.

who wants to drive with me???

“Scenes of femicide from the drug war in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, over just seven days: one, in the town of Cadereyta, towards the Palmito, a woman’s body cut up into six parts inside a metal bath. Two, a woman’s head lying in avenida Gonzalitos y Francisco Rocha, on the corner of the restaurant “El Gran Pastor”. Three, a taxi parked in front of the municipality of Guadalupe’s office of public safety - in the back seat, a large paint bucket containing a woman’s head. Four, two plastic bags lying on a road in Hacienda El Alamito with five pieces of a woman’s body, her head missing.”

Sveriges damlandslag bצrjar hitta formen infצr VM. Pו torsdagen blev det seger med 2-0 צver Mexiko. “Vi gצr en riktigt bra match”, sהger matchhjהlten Lotta Schelin till TV4 Sport.

Sverige var צverlהgset hemma pו Gamla Ullevi och tog direkt initiativet i matchen.

1-0 kom i mitten av fצrsta halvlek nהr Lotta Schelin snurrade upp det mexikanska fצrsvaret pו vהnsterkanten och spelade in till Lisa Dahlkvist.

Sverige fortsatte att skapa chanser, dock utan att ha den rהtta skהrpan. Bוde Linda Forsberg och Lotta Schelin hade vassa chanser

- Jag tycker att vi hוller i helheten. Vi skapar mycket och har mוnga bra kombinationer, sהger Lotta Schelin.

Drygt tio minuter in pו andra halvlek satte Lotta Schelin 2-0 pו volley efter en fin framspelning frוn Caroline Seger.

- Det kהnns bra. Jag slog inte bort sו mוnga bollar, jag spelade fram till ett mוl och fוr sהtta dit ett sjהlv. Det gוr inte att vara nצjdare, sהger Lotta Schelin om sin egen insats.

Sverige spelar genrep mot Japan den 23 juni i Bochum.
