The Sinaloa Cartel (Spanish: Cártel de Sinaloa or CDS)[9] is an international drug trafficking, money laundering, and organized crime syndicate.[10] Established during the mid-1980s,[11] the Sinaloa Cartel is based primarily in the city of Culiacán, Sinaloa,[12] with operations in the Mexican states of Baja California, Durango, Sonora, and Chihuahua.[13][14] The cartel is also known as the Guzmán-Loera Organization and the Pacific Cartel, the latter due to the coast of Mexico from which it originated. The cartel has also been called the Federation and the Blood Alliance.[13][15][16][17] The 'Federation' was partially splintered when the Beltrán-Leyva brothers broke apart from the Sinaloa Cartel.[18]
The United States Intelligence Community considers the Sinaloa Cartel "the most powerful drug trafficking organization in the world"[19] and in 2011, the Los Angeles Times called it "Mexico's most powerful organized crime group."[20] The Sinaloa Cartel is associated with the label "Golden Triangle", which refers to the states of Sinaloa, Durango, and Chihuahua. The region is a major producer of Mexican opium and marijuana.[18] According to the U.S. Attorney General, the Sinaloa Cartel is responsible for importing into the United States and distributing nearly 200 tons of cocaine and large amounts of heroin between 1990 and 2008.[21] According to the National Drug Intelligence Center, within the U.S. the Sinaloa Cartel is primarily involved in the distribution of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana and MDMA.[22]
As of 2015, the Sinaloa Cartel is the most active drug cartel involved in smuggling illicit drugs into the United States and trafficking them throughout the United States.[23]
Pedro Avilés Pérez was a pioneer drug lord in the Mexican state of Sinaloa in the late 1960s. He is considered to be the first generation of major Mexican drug smugglers of marijuana who marked the birth of large-scale Mexican drug trafficking.[24] He also pioneered the use of aircraft to smuggle drugs to the United States.[25]
Second generation Sinaloan traffickers such as Rafael Caro Quintero, Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo, Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo and Avilés Pérez' nephew Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán[26] would claim they learned all they knew about 'narcotraficantes' while serving in the Avilés organization. Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, who eventually founded the Guadalajara Cartel, was arrested in 1989 and, while incarcerated, he remained one of Mexico's major traffickers, maintaining contact with his organization via mobile phone until he was transferred to a new maximum security prison in the 1990s. At that point his nephews, the Arellano Félix brothers, left and created their own organization which came to be known as the Tijuana Cartel, while the Sinaloa Cartel continued to be run by former lieutenants Héctor Luis Palma Salazar, Adrián Gómez González and Joaquín Guzmán Loera (El Chapo).
The Sinaloa Cartel used to be known as La Alianza de Sangre ("Blood Alliance").[27] When Héctor Luis Palma Salazar (a.k.a. El Güero) was arrested on 23 June 1995, by elements of the Mexican Army, his partner Joaquín Guzmán Loera took leadership of the cartel.[14][28] Guzmán was captured in Guatemala on 9 June 1993, and extradited to Mexico, where he was jailed in a maximum security prison, but on 19 January 2001, Guzmán escaped and resumed his command of the Sinaloa Cartel. Guzmán has two close associates, Ismael Zambada García and Ignacio Coronel Villareal.[29][30] Guzman and Zambada became Mexico's top drug kingpins in 2003, after the arrest of their rival Osiel Cardenas of the Gulf Cartel. Another close associate, Javier Torres Félix, was arrested and extradited to the U.S. in December 2006.[31] On 29 July 2010 Ignacio Coronel was killed in a shootout with the Mexican military in Zapopan, Jalisco.[32] Guzman was captured on 22 February 2014 overnight by American and Mexican authorities. On July 11, 2015, he escaped from the Federal Social Readaption Center No. 1, a maximum-security prison in the State of Mexico, through a tunnel in his prison cell. Guzman resumed his command of the Sinaloa Cartel, but on January 8, 2016, Guzman was captured again during a raid on a home in the city of Los Mochis, in Guzman's home state of Sinaloa.[33] With the arrest of Joaquín Guzmán Loera, Ismael Zambada will most likely assume leadership of the Sinaloa Cartel.[34]
The Sinaloa Cartel has a presence in 17 of the 31 Mexican states, with important centers in Mexico City, Tepic, Toluca, Zacatecas, Guadalajara, and most of the state of Sinaloa.[35] The cartel is primarily involved in the smuggling and distribution of Colombian cocaine, Mexican marijuana, methamphetamine and Mexican and Southeast Asian heroin into the United States.[36][37] It is believed that a group known as the Herrera Organization would transport multi-ton quantities of cocaine from South America to Guatemala on behalf of the Sinaloa Cartel. From there it is smuggled north to Mexico and later into the U.S.[38] Other shipments of cocaine are believed to originate in Colombia from Cali and Medellín drug-trafficking groups from which the Sinaloa Cartel handle transportation across the U.S. border to distribution cells in Arizona, California, Texas, Chicago and New York City.[13][36][39]
Prior to his arrest, Vicente Zambada Niebla ("El Vicentillo"), son of Ismael Zambada García ("El Mayo"), played a key role in the Sinaloa Cartel. Vicente Zambada was responsible for coordinating multi-ton cocaine shipments from Central and South American countries, through Mexico, and into the United States for the Sinaloa Cartel. To accomplish this task he used every means available: Boeing 747 cargo aircraft, narco submarines, container ships, go-fast boats, fishing vessels, buses, rail cars, tractor trailers and automobiles. He was arrested by the Mexican Army on 18 March 2009 and extradited on 18 February 2010 to Chicago to face federal charges.[18]
In the late 1980s, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration believed the Sinaloa Cartel was the largest drug trafficking organization operating in Mexico.[40] By the mid-1990s, according to one court opinion, it was believed to be the size of the Medellín Cartel during its prime.[40] The Sinaloa Cartel was believed to be linked to the Juárez Cartel in a strategic alliance following the partnership of their rivals, the Gulf Cartel and Tijuana Cartel.[37][40][41] Following the discovery of a tunnel system used to smuggle drugs across the Mexican/US border, the group has been associated with such means of trafficking.[39][42]
By 2005, the Beltrán-Leyva brothers, who were formerly aligned with the Sinaloa Cartel, had come to dominate drug trafficking across the border with Arizona. By 2006, the Sinaloa Cartel had eliminated all competition across the 528 km of Arizona border. The Milenio (Michoacan), Jalisco (Guadalajara), Sonora (Sonora), and Colima (Colima) cartels are now branches of the Sinaloa Cartel.[43] At this time the organisation was laundering money at global scale, mainly through British bank HSBC.[44]
In January 2008 the cartel allegedly split into a number of warring factions, which is a major cause of the epidemic of drug violence Mexico has seen in the last year.[45] Murders by the cartel often involve beheadings or bodies dissolved in vats of alkali and are sometimes filmed and posted on the Internet as a warning to rival gangs.[46]
As of 2013, the Sinaloa Cartel continues to dominate the Sonora-Arizona corridor, which extends for nearly 375 miles. It relies on eight "plaza" bosses, leaders of a specific geographic region along the corridor, to coordinate, direct, and support the flow of narcotics north into the United States. Key cities along the corridor include the Mexicali plaza, San Luis Rio Colorado plaza, Sonoyta plaza, Nogales plaza, and the Agua Prieta plaza.
The Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan areas are major trans-shipment and distribution points for the cartel in the US.[47] To coordinate operations in the southeast US, Atlanta has emerged as a major distribution center and accounting hub and the presence of the Sinaloa Cartel there has brought ruthless violence to that area.[48] Chicago continues to be a major Sinaloa distribution point for the Midwest, taking advantage of a strong local demand market and convergence of several major interstate systems that offer distribution throughout the US. The cartel also benefited for a long time of easiness in cash transactions and money laundering through banks with presence both in the US and Mexico like HSBC.[49][50][51] In 2013, the Chicago Crime Commission named Joaquin "Chapo" Guzmán "Public Enemy No. 1" of a city Guzmán has never set foot in. He is the only individual to receive the title since Al Capone.[52] The focal point for Sinaloa in Chicago is the city's "Little Village" neighborhood. From this strategic point, the cartel distributes their product at the wholesale level to dozens of local street gangs, as much as 2 metric tons a month, in a city with over 120,000 documented gang members. The Gangster Disciples are one of the local gangs most actively working with the cartel.[53]
The Sinaloa Cartel has operations in the Philippines as a trans-shipment point for drugs smuggled into the United States. Since 2013, the cartel has been operating in the Philippines after a raid on a ranch in Lipa, Batangas, according to a statement by Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) director general Arthur Cacdac, and have entered the country without notice.[54] President Rodrigo Duterte further confirmed the presence of the Sinaloa Cartel in the Philippines, saying that the cartel uses the country as a trans-shipment point for drugs smuggled into the United States.[55] The presence of the cartel in the Philippines has worsened the ongoing war between drug lords, drug cartels and the government in that country.[56]
Arrest and seizures
On 11 May 2008, Alfonso Gutiérrez Loera, cousin of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera, and 5 other drug traffickers were arrested after a shootout with Federal Police officers in Culiacan, Sinaloa. Along with the captured suspects, 16 assault rifles, 3 grenades, 102 magazines and 3,543 ammunition rounds were seized.[57]
On 25 February 2009, the U.S. government announced the arrest of 750 members of the Sinaloa Cartel across the U.S. in Operation Xcellerator. They also announced the seizure of more than $59 million in cash and numerous vehicles, planes, and boats.[58][59]
In March 2009, the Mexican Government announced the deployment of 1,000 Federal Police officers and 5,000 Mexican Army soldiers to restore order in Ciudad Juárez, which has suffered the highest number of casualties in the country.[60]
On 20 August 2009, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) broke up a large Mexican drug operation in Chicago, and uncovered a major distribution network operated by the Flores crew led by twin brothers Margarito and Pedro Flores that operated there. The drug operation allegedly brought 1.5 to 2 tons of cocaine every month to Chicago from Mexico and shipped millions of dollars south of the border. The shipments were mostly bought from the Sinaloa Cartel and at times from the Beltrán-Leyva Cartel, and it is assumed that both cartels threatened the Flores crew with violence if they bought from other rival drug organizations.[61]
The Sinaloa cartel's loss of partners in Mexico does not appear to have affected its ability to smuggle drugs from South America to the USA. On the contrary, based on seizure reports, the Sinaloa cartel appears to be the most active smuggler of cocaine. The reports also demonstrated the cartels possess the ability to establish operations in previously unknown areas, such as Central America and South America, even as far south as Peru, Paraguay and Argentina. It also appears to be most active in diversifying its export markets; rather than relying solely on U.S. drug consumption, it has made an effort to supply distributors of drugs in Latin American and European countries.[29]
On 19 December 2013, the Federal Police of Mexico killed Gonzalo "El Macho Prieto" Inzunza in a gun battle in Puerto Penasco, Sonora. Inzunza was believed to be one of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's chief cartel leaders.
In December 2013, three suspected members of the cartel were arrested in Lipa in Batangas province in the Philippines with 84 kilograms of methamphetamine.[54][62]
In February 2014, "El Chapo" Guzmán was arrested. The capture of the Sinaloa Cartel's "El Chapo" Guzmán ignited a fight over the trial's location. Calls for his extradition to the United States started just hours after his arrest. Guzmán also faces federal indictment in several locations including San Diego, New York, and Texas, among other places.
On July 11, 2015 "El Chapo" escaped from a maximum security prison, which is his second successful jailbreak from a maximum security facility in 14 years.
On January 8, 2016, Guzman was arrested again during a raid on a home in the city of Los Mochis, in Guzman's home state of Sinaloa.[33]
Current alliances
Since February 2010, the major cartels have aligned in two factions: one integrated by the Juárez Cartel, Tijuana Cartel and Los Zetas; the other faction integrated by the Gulf Cartel and Sinaloa Cartel.[63] In addition to maintaining its anti-Zetas alliance with the Gulf cartel, Sinaloa in 2011 affiliated itself with the Knights Templar in Michoacan, and to counter Los Zetas in Jalisco state, Sinaloa affiliated itself with the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.[64]
The Sinaloa Federation has formed alliances with two powerful Chinese Triads, Sun Yee On and the 14K Triad, to acquire the precursor chemicals needed in creating highly-addictive synthetic drugs like Methamphetamines. Operatives like local gangs pick up the chemicals from dropoff points and ship them to hidden labs. The resulting products are shipped to the United States and many South American countries.[65]
Allegations of collusion with Mexican federal government forces
In May 2009, the U.S. National Public Radio (NPR) aired multiple reports alleging that the Mexican federal police and military were working in collusion with the Sinaloa Cartel. In particular, the report claimed the government was helping the Sinaloa Cartel to take control of the Juarez Valley area and destroy other cartels, especially the Juarez Cartel. NPR's reporters interviewed dozens of officials and ordinary people for the journalistic investigation. One report quotes a former Juarez police commander who claimed the entire department was working for the Sinaloa Cartel and helping it to fight other groups. He also claimed that the Sinaloa Cartel had bribed the military. Also quoted was a Mexican reporter who claimed hearing numerous times from the public that the military had been involved in murders. Another source in the story was the U.S. trial of Manuel Fierro-Mendez, an ex-Juarez police captain who admitted to working for the Sinaloa Cartel. He claimed that the Sinaloa Cartel influenced the Mexican government and military in order to gain control of the region. A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent in the same trial alleged that Fierro-Mendez had contacts with a Mexican military officer. The report also alleged, with support from an anthropologist who studies drug trafficking, that data on the low arrest rate of Sinaloa Cartel members (compared to other groups) was evidence of favoritism on the part of the authorities. A Mexican official denied the allegation of favoritism, and a DEA agent and a political scientist also had alternate explanations for the arrest data.[66] Another report detailed numerous indications of corruption and influence that the cartel has within the Mexican government.[67]
Allegations of collusion with US federal government
In March 2015, BBC TV programme This World broadcast an episode entitled "Secrets of Mexico's Drug War"[68] which reported on the US government's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Operation Fast and Furious which had allowed licensed firearms dealers to sell weapons to illegal buyers acting on behalf of Mexican drug cartel leaders, in particular the Sinaloa Cartel.[69] The BBC also reported on Vicente Zambada Niebla's claims of immunity from prosecution under a deal between the Mexican and US governments and his claims that the Sinaloa Cartel's leaders had provided US federal agents with information about rival Mexican drug gangs.[70] In the same documentary it is shown that the US Justice Department invoked national security reasons to prevent Humberto Loya Castro, the lawyer of the Sinaloa Syndicate, from being summoned as a witness to the trial against Vicente Zambada Niebla.
Battling the Tijuana Cartel
The Sinaloa Cartel has been waging a war against the Tijuana Cartel (Arellano-Félix Organization) over the Tijuana smuggling route to the border city of San Diego, California. The rivalry between the two cartels dates back to the Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo setup of Palma's family. Félix Gallardo, following his imprisonment, bestowed the Guadalajara Cartel to his nephews in the Tijuana Cartel. On 8 November 1992, Palma struck out against the Tijuana Cartel at a disco club in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, where eight Tijuana Cartel members were killed in the shootout, the Arellano-Félix brothers having successfully escaped from the location with the assistance of David "D" Barron, a member of the Logan Heights Gang.[30]
In retaliation, the Tijuana Cartel attempted to set up Guzmán at Guadalajara airport on 24 May 1993. In the shootout that followed, six civilians were killed by the hired gunmen from Logan Heights.[30] The dead included Roman Catholic Cardinal Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo. The church hierarchy originally believed Posadas was targeted as revenge for his strong stance against the drug trade. However, Mexican officials believe Posadas just happened to be caught in cross fire.[71][72][73] The Cardinal arrived at the airport in a white Mercury Grand Marquis town car, known to be popular amongst drug barons. Barron had received intelligence that Guzmán would be arriving in a white Mercury Grand Marquis town car.[71][72][73] Evidence that runs counter to a mistake theory is that Posadas did not look anything like Guzmán, he was wearing a long black cassock and a large pectoral cross, and he was gunned down from only two feet away.[30]
Recently, it is believed that the Tijuana Cartel, or at least a sizable majority of it, has been either absorbed or forced to ally with the Sinaloa Federation, in part due to a former high-ranking Tijuana member called Eduardo Teodoro Garcia Simental, alias "El Teo" or "Tres Letras" allying with the Federation.[74][75][76]
Edgar Valdez Villarreal
Los Negros have been known to employ gangs such as the Mara Salvatrucha to carry out murders and other illegal activities. The group is involved in fighting in the Nuevo Laredo region for control of the drug trafficking corridor.[13][37][77] Following the 2003 arrest of Gulf Cartel leader Osiel Cárdenas, it is believed the Sinaloa Cartel moved 200 men into the region to battle the Gulf Cartel for control.[41] The Nuevo Laredo region is an important drug trafficking corridor into Laredo, Texas, where as much as 40% of all Mexican exports pass through into the U.S.
Following the 2004 assassination of journalist Roberto Javier Mora García from El Mañana newspaper, much of the local media has been cautious about their reporting of the fighting. The cartels have pressured reporters to send messages and wage a media war. The drug war has spread to various regions of Mexico, such as Guerrero, Mexico City, Michoacán and Tamaulipas.
On 30 August 2010, Villarreal was captured by Mexican Federal Police.[78]

Mexican TCOs pose the greatest criminal drug threat to the United States; no other group is currently positioned to challenge them. These Mexican poly-drug organizations traffic heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana throughout the United States, using established transportation routes and distribution networks. ... While all of these Mexican TCOs transport wholesale quantities of illicit drugs into the United States, the Sinaloa Cartel appears to be the most active supplier. The Sinaloa Cartel leverages its expansive resources and dominance in Mexico to facilitate the smuggling and transportation of drugs throughout the United States.

Index investing is the one-stop all inclusive choice for the passive investor. What is a passive investor? It is an investment strategy which focuses on the long run to maximize returns and keeping trading to a minimum. The thought process is by avoiding fees, the investment base does not get eaten up.
Passive investors love index investing because it takes all of the guesswork out of investing decisions. Index investing involves buying a fund that seeks to replicate the returns of a particular index. The two most popular ways of investing in an index are through index mutual funds and index exchange traded funds.
Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of index investing.
Advantages of Index Funds for the Passive Investor
- Ease Of Use: The biggest advantage of index investing is that it does not require any work on behalf of the fund investor. All that you have to do is pick the index that you would like to follow and the index fund does the rest. Your returns will be right in line with the performance of a particular index over the course of that year. The most popular index funds follow the S&P 500, the Dow Jones, and the NASDAQ.
- Low Fees: Since index funds are not actively managed, their fees are lower than regular mutual funds. Actively managed funds have a much higher turnover rate which increases the fees that investors have to pay. These trades generate short term capital gains for fund investors. The only turnover in an index fund is when a stock is added or removed from a particular index.
- Better Performance: Index funds have historically outperformed actively managed funds. They have boasted higher returns due to their lower expense ratios and lower fees. Index funds offer higher returns by diversifying a portfolio at a low cost to the fund investor. Their after tax returns have made them attractive investment vehicles for investors.
Disadvantages of Index Funds for the Passive Investor
- Inability to beat the market: Since index funds track the moments of the market as a whole, they lack the ability to outperform the market. Actively managed portfolios can adjust their portfolios to take advantage of areas of the market that are outperforming. During times of great economic growth, your returns may actually underperform actively managed funds.
- Fund Performance: Index funds can do particularly poorly during bad economic times. For example, if you invested in a S&P 500 index fund in 2000, you would have actually lost money over the past decade. If the U.S. economy goes through another economic period of little to no growth, index funds will continue to underperform.
As you can see, index funds have their advantages and disadvantages just like retail mutual funds. They are however a good investment vehicle for the passive investor looking for quick and easy diversification at a low cost.

Art of Food's Meet The Chef: Rebecca Richards, Chef at Flex Mussels
When did you start cooking?
I am a product of a single mother. She commuted for work for an hour and a half each day, both ways. So when I was a kid, she would call me and ask me what was for dinner. I started when I was three years old making macaroni and cheese—things like that. She told me that I was always very angry when I couldn't get to the sink to scrub it out.
So I've always cooked for people and my family, and as I got older I just kept cooking more and more: I went from doing part of Thanksgiving to cooking all of Thanksgiving.
Where are you from?The West Coast. I was born in L.A., and went to high school in Eugene, Oregon. I played college sports in Mississippi, and lasted about a year playing sports. I started waiting tables in arts school—so very typical.
I fell in love with restaurants and quit sports. Used my art degree for culinary purposes. There was nothing I wanted to do more than work in restaurants, whether it was doing dishes or scrubbing the floors, waiting tables—anything.
What brought you to New York?I was a chef at a steak house way out in the country in Mississippi. It was awesome: bring your own alcohol, thirteen items on the menu, people would wait hours for a table. I had hit the top. I was running the place. I had relationships with all of the local farmers. There was really no place else for me to go, so I told everyone that I was going to try my hand at New York. They all said I was crazy and that Mississippi doesn't make it there. And it was tough to get people to give me a shot. Culinarily speaking, New Yorkers don't think anyone but New Yorkers can cook, unless you're from France. Fortunately for me, I got a job as a fry cook here at Flex Mussels, and after pestering them for a year, they gave me a shot at the chef job.
How does your art degree influence your culinary career?With plating: colors, composition, keeping things vibrant and looking a certain way. I use the principals of balance and harmony in visual and three-dimensional art in everything.
What is your favorite kind of artwork?I was actually a potter, and I studied under Pablo Sierra who is a famous potter from Spain. He moved to Mississippi and lived in a little shack house. He and I would go dig clay and make plates, pots, teacups, and things like that. I learned to recognize the type of earth we were using, and know what color it would turn when we applied fire to it.
So when I became a professional chef, my mom always said: "When you open your own restaurant you can make your own plates."
Any cooking tips?Most things are going to need lemon, and salt reduces heat. Most people think that you would add sugar to take the spice away, but it's really salt.

The kitchen is installed, the doors are hung, the tenants are moved in and the suite is finished. Well... Jared did break a light fixture on the last day, and so it needs to be replaced, and I never did get around to touching up all the paint I wanted to, and most of the electrical plugs are painted over because we thought we were going to have the time to replace them. But, besides all that, the suite is finished!!!
I totally realize that I am way too excited about my crumby basement suite, but Jared and I have literally put our blood and sweat, if not tears, into it over the last two weeks (I'll be honest, Jared has put a lot more sweat into it than I, but I'm just better at baby feeding, that's all.) I no longer am going to call it our "crumby little basement suite" but our "really awesome, totally cool, pretty sweet suite!" Sounds better, doesn't it?
In two short weeks we tore out EVERYTHING, and re-did it all. And much of it we did with Silas on our backs!
We did learn a few important lessons in this, our first major home renovation:
1. Two short weeks are really too short to completely renovate an entire home. Seriously. A month would have been sufficient, two weeks was just about suicide.
2. When a caulking disaster strikes, and online it says that there is no solvent or method of removing waylaid caulk, tell the "experts" to stick it, and grab your good friend Mr. Clean and his Magic Eraser. Apply a little elbow grease, and before you know it, the great caulk spill of 2010 will be ancient history. No magic dome to contain the mess, no caustic chemicals to clean it up, just magic little "micro scrubbers" washing it away. For some reason I envision little microscopic alien robots with mops scrubbing away at our brand new counter top covered in caulk. Keep up the good work little buddies!
3. A few accessories can do wonders in a small, white kitchen.
Um, I'm sure there were more lessons learned (like don't ever let Jared touch a paint roller ever again) but I can't think of them right now.
I did promise to send out a mad Blog Props to my brother-in-law Aaron, his crazy plumbing skills, and his family, without whom, we would NEVER have been able to finish it in time! We love the Russells!
Here's the finished product. Note the broken light. Oops.

Permanent Eyeliner Styles pg 3: eyeliner and eye shapes
If permanent eyeliner is to be designed around the eye according to eyeshape, one must first understand what the ideal eye shape is. We have all heard or read that the oval face shape is ideal, with makeup and hairstyles designed to make all other face shapes appear more oval. Similarly, we are told that the almond eye shape is ideal. Actually, an almond is too blunt on one end. If both ends were tapered it would look more like an eye. After polishing off an entire package of almonds with close inspection of each one, I have concluded that almonds are not all shaped the same anymore than eyes are, so it is a meaningless comparison standard.
Makeup / beauty books give generic tips (relating more to eyeshadow than to eyeliner) for deep set eyes, protruding or prominent eyes, close set eyes, wide set eyes, small eyes, round eyes, hooded eyes, down-turned eyes and asian eyes. All these variances are to be addressed, but the first observation after looking at the eye as a whole unit should be the angle of the eye. Then note the upper and lower eyelids separately for contour, laxity, palpebral fissure width and marginal reflex distance MRD-1 & MRD-2, position of upper eyelid crease, and amount of free space on the tarsus of the upper lid. These are things cosmetic surgeons include in their assessments before surgery.

A Massachusetts executive, Allen Fitzsimmons leads Transitioning Forward as CEO. In his spare time, Allen Fitzsimmons enjoys exploring tropical locations, such as Hawaii.
When vacationing in Hawaii, consider snorkeling. Rated the state's top activity, according to PrideofMaui.com, snorkeling is family-friendly and can be enjoyed through a tour. You board a vessel and sail to different locations to observe marine life in their natural habitats. A guide offers education about the animals as well as gives instruction on proper techniques when exploring local waters. The activity is ideal for seeing tropical fish, green Hawaiian sea turtles, reef formations, dolphins, and whales.
If you prefer to stay on land, Hawaii offers picturesque landscapes worth a trek. Walk along ocean shorelines and through tropical valleys. Visit the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to see the Big Island's active volcanoes or go to Puu Pehe, also known as Sweetheart Rock, to enjoy the island in serenity. Other locations to venture to include Polihale State Park and Kalaupapa, a location best explored on horseback.

Weather Seasons in Tasmania
Tasmanian Record Snowfall Leaves Climate Skeptics Confused
At Huon Bush Retreats, 50 minutes south from Hobart, we experienced the deepest snow ever during August 2015. Our roads were closed for 2 days and 2 groups of guests were trapped. This has come just 18 months after our hottest day ever.
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has confirmed what many Tasmanians already suspected, it has been the coldest winter in nearly 50 years. "...it's the sixth coolest on record, that's resulting in the coolest winter since 1966."
For more detail see http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-08-31/tasmania-shivers-through-coldest-winter-in-50-years/6738326
How is it that a slightly warmer atmosphere can create weather that swings from one extreme to the next? From lazy jet streams to baking soils, in this report we explain the mechanisms behind some of the most catastrophic events of the decade?
For the answers, see http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/3796205.htm
Meanwhile, the Huon branch of the Liberal party has declared climate change is a furphy and green propaganda. At the September 2015 Liberal Party State Council in Hobart, the Huon branch said they want the Australian Government to focus on adapting to climate change "should it occur", rather than reducing carbon emissions.
See the full story at http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-05/tasmanian-liberals-meet-to-thrash-out-state-issues/6752066
Current Tasmanian fire, flood
A high pressure system "H1" is centred near Sydney and H2 centred near Perth. The wind (shown by the arrows) blows anti-clockwise around each of these high pressure systems.
H1 brings hot dry air from Central Australia southward to Tasmania. Winds will generally be 10 – 30kmh, north to northwest, 25 – 30 degrees, dry, sky sunny. Possible bushfires.
As H1 moves into the Tasman Sea, the hot northerly winds suddenly change to cold south westerly. This change is known as a "front" and is shown on the map as a line with triangles attached. Now Tasmania receives air driven by the next high pressure system "H2". This air is cold, being brought to Tasmania from the Southern Ocean. Winds will suddenly increase to about 40kmh then generally ease to 20kmh, west to southwest, 10 – 15 degrees, wet, heavy cloud. Possible thunderstorms.
As H2 moves over Adelaide, it brings hot air from central Australia, over the ocean, and creates mild weather in Tasmania.
Winds will generally be 5 – 15kmh, west, 12 – 20 degrees, occasional light showers, sky partly cloudy. Possible snow.
As H2 moves further east, it brings the hot air more directly from central Australia, over a short section of ocean, and creates warm weather in Tasmania.
Winds will generally be 5 – 15kmh, west to northwest, 18 – 25 degrees, very few light showers, sky mostly sunny.
Now H2 is centred near Sydney. Again, this brings hot dry air from Central Australia to Tasmania.
Winds generally increasing from 10 to 30kmh, west changing to northwest, 20 – 30 degrees, dry and sunny. The cycle repeats as the next high "H3" approaches.

Dart 18 Towergate Mardon Coaching day with Hugh Styles
Hugh Styles, over 8 years ago
Dart 18 Towergate Mardon Coaching day with Hugh Styles
This Sunday the Dart 18 Class had their single handed nationals and Women's nationals hosted by Parkstone Yacht club. In a weekend of variable conditions a good fleet of 25 boats turned up on the Saturday morning with the prospect of a windy weekend.
The reality was that the forecast did not match to the conditions at all, as is so often the case in the UK. The wind didn't blow on Saturday and did on Sunday, far more than expected, and meant that the Sunday sailing was abandoned. But before this happened the Dart sailors were however able to get a a positive spin from the day for the sailors by linking them into some good local knowledge, coaching of the land effects and tidal influences in Poole harbour, this coaching was provided for the Dart class by Towergate Mardon who's ambassador Hugh Styles of TIME ON THE WATER (Olympian and high performance sailing coach) attended the event in support of the class.
The Sunday, dawned with a windy and rainy outlook, and from the initial assessments of the meteorology web sites, there was a mixed message from the various weather models of what would be the likely wind conditions, with many forecasting light and variable winds. The end result being that the weather was totally dependant on a weather front moving over the region during Saturday night and Sunday morning, and that this front moving faster than expected managed to hang over Poole for long enough to keep the very windy conditions for such a time that it precluded the Sunday racing from occurring. The one benefit of this situation was that there was an opportunity for a training session with Hugh followed by question and answers in the clubs training room.
Hugh being one of Britain's few successful Olympic catamaran sailors, was able to focus on the needs of the fleet, and ran an initial assessment session, then helped sailors with some hints and tips of how to improve their starting and mark rounding skills, this then developed into more elaborate insights into how to make big gains in the tactics and strategy of start and mark rounding incidents, where avoiding boat on boat traffic and incidents on the water help provide race wining opportunities.
This coaching day was one of a selection of days which as part of an innovative new approach to supporting dinghy sailors and attendees get the benefit of the teaching as well as the opportunity to get a discount opportunity on insurance premiums. Many classes such as the Flying Fifteen and J24 class have already expressed an interest for coaching days in the future and If your class or fleet would like a Towergate Mardon sponsored Hugh Styles coaching day please contact firstname.lastname@example.com, we currently have several opportunities for these days in the calendar for next year and would be keen to hear from interested clubs or classes.

Authors: Matthew Marko
The author demonstrates a stable Lagrangian solid modeling method, tracking the interactions of solid mass particles, rather than using a meshed grid. This numerical method avoids the problem of tensile instability often seen with Smooth Particle Applied Mechanics by having the solid particles apply stresses expected with Hooke's law, as opposed to using a smoothing function for neighboring solid particles. This method has been tested successfully with a bar in tension, compression, and shear, as well as a disk compressed into a flat plate, and the numerical model consistently matched the analytical Hooke's law as well as Hertz contact theory for all examples. The solid modeling numerical method was then built into a 2-D model of a pressure vessel, which was tested with liquid water particles under pressure and simulated with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics. This simulation was stable, and demonstrated the feasibility of Lagrangian specification modeling for Fluid Solid Interactions.

We live in a world of labels, and even though information is crucial, some labeling leads to confusion, negative views, and misunderstanding. In the supermarket, consumers might misinterpret "facts" or develop disparaging images. The authors of this paper look at the impact labeling has on the food industry—the choices consumers make, the way labeling affects the adoption of technology, and the influence labeling might have on the amount of money spent for research and product development. Legislators, regulatory officials, and consumers will benefit from the thoughtful, science-based information in this Issue Paper. Chair: Kent D.

Wild Penance
Sandi Ault
Berkley, Feb 2010, $24.95
Bureau of Land Management Resource Protection Agent Jamaica Wild works out of the Taos, New Mexico filed office. She runs along fences to make sure there are no holes in them; if they contain rips usually means someone is doing something illegal. One morning while running Jamaica stares up at the Rio Grande Gorge bridge only to see activity where there should be none. Two men drops a cross with a man tied to it into the river below; the current takes the cross with its rider.
Jamaica believes someone wants to disguise a murder by making it look as if the ancient Christian sect Los Penitentes, who reenact Jesus' crucifixion as part of their extreme penance, committed the act. She learns the corpse is Father Ignatius who warned her to stop asking questions about Los Penitentes who react rather swiftly and ugly to inquiries and loathe outsiders asking questions about them. Three men break into her car to steal a book Jamaica is writing about this sect. A car follows her and her house is broken into. However, the trauma she faces is raised when someone tries to kill her at a lingerie show. Not one to idly sit back, Jamaica with an unexpected ally goes after her tormentor with help from the late Father Ignatius.
Fans are going to love the latest Wild thriller as we are thoroughly drawn into the world of a little known sub-culture that receives support from the masses. The sect conducts much of its practices un secret because the Catholic Church would prefer they vanish as their modern day penance is considered extreme by most people. The protagonist is a strong woman who may receive a lot of punishment, but obstinately refuses to back down as she remains dedicated and committed although the danger mounts. Jamaica is terrific, but Wild Penance is owned by Los Penitentes.

Fly Away From Your Troubles When You Charter a Private Jet
Who can resist the feeling or freedom and luxury when you charter a private jet? It is the ultimate as a marker of success and wealth, right next to owning a yacht!
Travel is a big part of life now, it is so important to be able to get from here to there. The world is a smaller place and people expect and need to go across town or across the country for work and for play.
How can a person travel without going by air? It is fast. Other options are to drive or take the bus or train. Driving to your destination, whether by car or bus, is slow and so dependent on the weather. Train travel can be fast but has far fewer options for destinations, especially without multiple stops and changes.
Air travel is by far the most convenient, especially for those on work related

Hoping for the best!!!!
I first want to start by saying, Thank You! For all of the wonderful emails and comments that I've received asking where I've been and for all of your care and concern! You all are just so amazing!
I've been MIA for a while and for unfortunate health reasons!!
As many of you know if you follow me on my channel or here on my blog in the past I've had health issues for a while....Here's a short version of a long story...
Since about Thanksgiving 2010 I've been battling extreme chronic vertigo and I don't just mean dizzy I mean spinning, bedridden, can't drive, eyes blurred, bad bad vertigo!! I went to the Dr and they said I had had Acute Otitis Media(An infected painful red, bulging eardrum) This went on from November 2010-February 2011 and in February 2011 I was taken by ambulance to the ER. I couldn't breathe, I felt like I was having a heart attack and I was vomiting profusely! I was in the hospital for a while the Dr there said that I had Labyrinthitis(another severe inner ear disorder)
So, they put me on many different meds and sent me home to which I laid bedridden, not able to drive, couldn't focus my eyes on using the computer, and if I walked it was by the help of others, etc!!
Time went on and after many bouts of Antibiotics and many other meds my GP diagnosed me with Menieres Disease(a disorder of the inner ear that can affect hearing and balance. It is characterized by vertigo and tinnitus and progressive hearing loss.)
So, here I sit present day...I am able to focus my eyes a lil better to be able to write and hoping to be on the uphill of this disease! I still battle chronic vertigo every minute of every day. I believe my battle has just begun...I'm going to UCLA to seek specialists for this and still have to have MANY tests that I need done...an MRI, CT Scan, Lab work, and an EEG...etc!!
I miss blogging, I miss making vids, I miss talking to all of you. I have to say this has been quite a struggle for me. I'm very much a get up and go kind of person and this has been debilitating!!!
I'm going to start blogging again and making vids, slowly but surely.....
Thank you, all for your support, care and prayers!! PLEASE continue to keep me in yours, I need all I can get!!!
Lots of Love..xoxoox
♥ Cupcake Kisses ♥

omg so sorry to hear about this! sending lots of love your way!! xoReplyDelete
Oh my gosh! Im so sorry to hear that! My mom suffers from Meniere's disease. Watch/cut out your sodium, MSG and aspartame intake and it may greatly give you relief from the symptoms of vertigo and the tinnitus. It is easier said than done to cut these ingredients from your diet because they are in almost everything but if you can, you can have next to no symptoms if you find these are your triggers. Hope you start feeling better soon! Missed your posts like crazy.ReplyDelete
Poor girl! I understand how you must be suffering, my mom has Labyrinthitis as well (terrible thing!) and when it flares up she really has a tough time.ReplyDelete
Glad you're back to blogging!
Love yhu ur stunning glad ur ok xReplyDelete

I work in the medical field. Make sure they do an IAC mri ( Inner Auditory Canal MRI) AND of your brain just to make sure you don't have any tumors that might be causing all of this. Im sorry about your dad, My Dad was diagnosed with cancer in Dec. It was VERY agressive, luckily he went through chemo, responded well and got surgery a month ago to remove all the cancer. I know how hard it is to see a father go through all this so I can't imagine how hard it is for you to feel his loss and now go through this battle of your own. YOU WILL WIN!!!I love your vids and postings! Keep them up =) Wishing you all the best!!!!!!!! M from OCReplyDelete
I'm glad you are back. That is terrible about what you have been battling. I hope the medication will continue to help you. Take it easy. I have missed your videos and blogs. Wishing you the best.ReplyDelete
Oh sweet I am so sorry to hear you are suffering from Meniere's. My gran was diagnosed with it a couple of years ago and it is awful. That being said once her meds were sorted she made a quick recovery and is much much better nowadays, I hope the same will happen for you :)ReplyDelete
wow I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles... that sounds horrible :(ReplyDelete
I'm glad that you are able to blog again and hopefully there's only progress from here :)

Client Testimonials
Supportive, Compassionate an Honest
I needed an attorney to help me with my Child Custody/Visitation Modification, after a botched 1st attempt in another county. She jumped right in! I appreciated her keen insight of the local legal system, ability to articulate exactly what needed to be done, and setting expectations for what was to come. Whether it was exactly what I wanted or not, she helped me to have perspective in a way I was too emotional to see on my own. She is honest, compassionate and genuinely wants you to "win" so you can live your best life. Sahmra is an excellent attorney and knows what she is doing. She knows and practices the law wonderfully, but takes it a step further by being a good person first. We reached the finish line, and I have no doubt I would have made it there without her help. I am truly grateful and I enjoyed working with her.
Peace of Mind. Hire her!!
When I hired Sahmra Stevenson-Smith I was dealing with a very aggravating and stressful situation. After talking with and hiring her I was literally at ease. She kept me updated at all times and answered any question I had. I am satisfied with the outcome and truly have so much appreciation for her patience. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. If ever in the future I find myself in need of an attorney, she will be the one I call upon.
Excellent Divorce Attorney
I hired Sahmra as my divorce attorney in 2016 and we were able to finalize my divorce in May 2017. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She kept me updated each step of the way which I believe helped to make it a smooth process.
Caring, Knowledgeable, Professional
After a tumultuous divorce, I found myself with no child support, no practical visitation agreement, and no idea of what to do next. I was referred to Sahmra by a dear friend from college. As soon as I stepped into her office her warm demeanor assured me that I'd made the right decision. She listened to my long, complicated history from beginning to end. She presented me with viable, sound solutions. She arrived to all court hearings promptly and she was prepared with adequate documentation to advocate for the needs of myself and my children. The outcome of my case was favorable. I was awarded child support and a visitation arrangement with the non-custodial parent that my kids and I are satisfied with. Additionally, I ended up getting to know someone I now consider a friend. I would not hesitate to refer Sahmra and I would have no reservations hiring her again in the future if any new issues should arise.

Attending a conference is often overwhelming. You probably took a lot of notes and made lists of things you want to do for your website and/or business. Then you got home and were confronted with everyday life including, but not limited to: dishes, laundry, cooking, etc. The notes got put in a pile and they just contribute to your guilt.
Take one measurable action step.
This step should be more than just a conference recap. Doing just one big thing that you can share online will help you to feel better, your business to grow, your name/face to stay in front of the other attenders, speakers, and followers. Start with just one!
Here are 2 examples of things I did recently:
Affiliate Marketing Challenge: At Type A Advanced in Philadelphia Missy Ward spoke on affiliate marketing and issued a challenge to implement one of the strategies she taught. Then she promised to match the commissions made within 30 days of the conference.
This caught my attention because I had dabbled in affiliate marketing previously, but had let it fall by the wayside. I amped it up using some ideas I had gotten at the conference and was able to get money in my ShareASale account [affiliate link, of course] as well as a payment from Missy. I interacted with her several times so there is a better chance of her remembering me; plus she congratulated me publicly so other people saw my name that way. It feels like a win-win.
Any time a speaker issues a challenge they have given you a wide open door to better yourself and stay connected with them. Walk through that door!
Video Response: I had some great interaction with Rock and Roll radio legend Dayna Steele during and after her speech at Disney Social Media Moms. After I was home I looked up her website and social media sites because I was impressed with her. I honed in on her YouTube channel because I love video and decided to make a video response to a question she asked in her speech and one of her videos. I thought of it, recorded, edited, and uploaded one evening after supper. She loved it and started sharing it many places! While the only money I have made off of this action is through YouTube ads, it did help raise my stats and keep me in front of Dayna's eyes and conference attendees. Feels like another win-win.
By connecting with a speaker you instantly get more credibility and they usually have a bigger audience to spread the word to.
I think that another key is that each of these actions are very specific. I didn't talk about the whole conference or to the whole conference. I mainly interacted with one other person by building off of things they talked about at the actual conference.
Notice that these were from two different conferences. Maybe in the future I can do more than one measurable action for each conference.

A Galaxy of Clothiers in the City of Accra
This threadbare city supplies its own golden gifts. Clothiers, clusters of them, in kiosks are hung on the corner of every street. Caftans, kabas and cardigans; suits, skirts and slits; jumpers, jackets, jumpsuits and jeans; they make them all. Frocks, tunics and pajamas too. And there's a tailor/dressmaker for every epoch, pocket and preference. Only downside, your clothes will be ready in two weeks or three or six; it all means the same thing to them.
5 comments:
lol...'it all means the same thing to them'. They can even ask you to come tomorrow or the next hour. The true period is when you come two weeks time and 'sit on' him/her to complete it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Exactly. So you risk a serious let-down if you commission them with less than 3 months to the event.Delete

"Off with her head"
This week I draw the line on a friendship with a co-worker. The way she treated me made it evident beyond doubt that she doesn't deserve any of my trust and understanding. At first I was shaken (it came out of the blue and caught me off guard) but now I am totally and for good over it. Am I sorry? Not a bit. I didn't lose anything because there never had been anything to be lost to begin with. She's the most selfish person I've ever known, the type of people who do kind things only if they will benefit from it. There's just one remedy for her kind - ignore and delete. I am through with her - abruptly and without warning. Enough is enough.

The tree hugger
The first time I thought I must have gotten it wrong but then it happened again, and again.
Every morning I see that elderly man. He gets on the same bus as me and a few minutes before the bus arrives he takes on a short stroll to one of the trees around the bus stop with a somewhat ashamed look on his face…and hugs the tree. Every morning.
I like him. Anyone that cares to hug a tree must have his heart at the right place.

The world as an oyster
Nowadays internet is available to anyone. Yes, I am aware there are still sad exceptions but they bare no relevance to my point which is about the many many users free to surf the net as it pleases them.
Here's how access to Internet has affected me personally. It has made me think of myself as of a citizen of the world meaning that the physical whereabouts of my body does not necessarily determine my mental belonging. My body resides in Bulgaria but my mind is a resident of the world. Sure, it made a great difference to who I am as a person. It made me think of the whole world as my home, and all the people in it as my neighbors.
Yes, the world is my oyster - and I prefer my oyster alive and happy.
Of sound
I was thinking how there's no way for me to know how a piece of music really sounds like, that I can only know how it sounds when I play it through my speakers and my headphones. So it is not only possible but is in fact quite probable that people never hear music as that music's creators have intended. Shocking thought.

Today I made sure to show up at my favorite café after their opening hours - and still I turned out to be the first customer. As the waiter put it "I'm really glad that you were the first to come - I take that as a good omen!"
I love to be here on any day but January 1st is always special. Everyone is in good spirits and all I hear are words of good will and love. On January 1st people are exactly as I want them to be all year round.
When I said farewell to 2016 there wasn't even a trace of regret on my mind, only a genuine feeling of warmth, serenity and hope. And that too is a good omen.
