Once upon a time, Acapulco was a stunning beautiful playground for the rich and famous. Along with cities like Havana, it served as a tropical getaway: a place for dancing and romancing and walking through the shallows of blue-green beaches. Since then, international tourism has more or less settled down, giving way to flocks of middle-class vacationers. Now a sweltering hot modern city, with incredible traffic and the constant cacophony of horns, Acapulco is learning to cope without its former allure.
While the city is now filled by ordinary faces and buildings, the rich still come and 20-story high-rises still dominate the beachfront strip. Despite occasional periods of intense drug violence, tourist continues unabated, partly because Acapulco still merits its reputation as a party city, boasting infinite ways to paint the town red and make the nights memorable – or forgettable. After the sun sets the grime and heat of the city disappears, and the beautiful twinkling lights on the hillsides flare up like a candlelight vigil watching over those heading out into the night.
Acapulco Bay lies 400km south of Mexico City and 239km southeast of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. Mex. 200 becomes La Costera (Costera Miguel Alemán), the main drag that skirts the waterfront for the length of the city. Acapulco Dorado, or Zona Dorada, is full of restaurants, malls, and hotels; it stretches from Parque Papagayo to the naval base. The ultra-chic resorts are on Acapulco Diamante, farther east. Budget accommodations and restaurants lie between the zocalo and La Quebrada, the famous cliff-diving spot. You will lose precious beach time trying to walk the main drag, so get familiar with the basics of public transportation. Buses run along Costera from Playa Hornos or Playa Caleta in the west to CICI water park or Base in the east and back. Along Cuauhtemoc, buses run between "Cine Rio" in the west and "La Base" in the east.
If you're in Acapulco, chances are you seek two things: beaches and booze. Have no fear, intrepid traveler – Acapulco delivers. There are a few chances to get away from sunburn and hangovers: the main museum is the Museo Historico de Acapulco, in the Fuerte de San Diego, built in 1616 to protect the bay from pirates. The 12 exhibits describe life in the old city and the city's maritime importance, with emphasis on the cross-cultural exchange between China, Spain, and the Philippines. Interesting artifacts and chinoiserie are on display. A better reason to come to the fort, however, is the view of the bay from the ramparts. Enjoy the sweeping vantage over the city and the bay without having to pay the admission free. Just outside the fort's gate on Morelos is the Casa de la Mascara, an extensive collection of masks from around Guerrero with captions explaining their significance.

Acapulco's international restaurants cater to tourists' palates, and the chic restaurants between Playa Condesa and the naval base are meant for travelers who don't fret about money. Many local eateries ready to satisfy any craving without the high prices, are interspersed along Costera. For the cheapest eats, grab a barstool in one of the many torta shops or taco stands on the streets surrounding zocalo.
Although regional cuisine varies widely, tortillas are popular throughout the country. This millennia-old classic is a flat, round, thin pancake from either harina (wheat flour) or maíz (corn flour) In the North, flour tortillas are the norm, while corn rules the South. Arroz (rice) and frijoles (beans) round out the triumvirate of Mexican staples. Arroz, either of the yellow Spanish or white Mexican variety, is prepared with oil, tomato sauce, onions, and garlic. Frijoles range from a soupy "baked" variety to a thick "refried" paste. Expect to see this trio accompanying most restaurant meals.
Mexican culinary experts enjoy spicing up a meal with chiles or peppers. Most meals come with red and green hot sauce, and sometimes chiles curtidos – jalapeño peppers fermented in vinegar with sliced carrots and onions. Be careful when attempting to bite into any sort of pepper: keep in mind your own tolerance toward spicy food, and don't be fooled by size. A small chile can pack a dangerous punch: measuring less than 6cm, Mexico's native habanero pepper is the world's hottest!
Salsas and moles (sauces) add zest and flavor to most Mexican dishes. The classic salsa Mexicana blens jotimate (red tomato), cilantro (coriander), and tomatillo (green tomato) with copious amounts of onion, garlic, and chiles. Mole poblano is a thick, simmered-down sauce made with three to four types of chiles, garlic, tomato, cocoa, and a variety of nuts and spices.
Breakfast can range from a simple snack to a grand feast rivaling the midday meal. Huevos (eggs), prepared in one of countless ways, are the mainstay of most Mexican breakfasts, often served with a side of café con leche (coffee with milk) and pan dulce (sweetened bread). Huevos revueltos (scrambled eggs) are usually prepared with jamón (ham), tocino (bacon), machaca (dried, shredded beef), or nopales (cactus). Huevos rancheros (fried eggs served on corn tortillas and covered with chunky tomato salsa), huevos albañil (scrambled eggs cooked in a spicy sauce), heuvos motuleños (eggs served on corn tortillas, topped with green sauce and sour cream), huevos ahogados (eggs cooked in simmering red sauce) are other common preparations. In more expensive restaurants, omelettes are offered with any of the common meats or with camarones (shrimp) or langosta (lobster).
Mexicans eat their main meal of the day – la comida – between 2 and 4pm. Both parents and children come home for an hour or two to eat, relax, and perhaps indulge in a siesta. Restaurants often offer comida corrida (sometimes called la comida or el menú), a fixed-price meal including sopa (soup), ensalada (salad), té (tea) or agua fresca (cold, fresh fruit juice), a plato fuerte (main dish), and a postre(dessert).
One of the most popular caldos (warm soups) is sopa de tortilla (or sopa azteca), a chicken broth-based soup with strips of fried tortilla, chunks of avocado, and chipotle peppers. Other favorites are caldo tlalpeño, a smoky blend of Mexico's strong national pride is evident in pozole, a chunky soup with red, white, or green broth. Served with tostadas (fried tortillas) and lime wedges, pozole is made with large hominy kernels, radishes, lettuce, and meat (usually pork).
The main dish of any comida will usually feature some sort of carne (meat) platter – usually beef in the country's interior or fish along the coasts – with sides of frijoles, tortillas, and arroz. Choose from carne barbacoa (barbecued), parrillada (grilled), or milanesa (breaded and fried).
Mexicans tend to snack lightly around 9 or 10pm. Dominating nearly every Mexican menu, antojitos (little cravings) are equivalent to a large snack or a small meal. Tacos consist of grilled pieces of meat folded in a warm corn tortilla and topped with a row of condiments. Burritos, which are especially popular in northern Mexico, are thick flour tortillas usually filled with beans, meat, and cooked vegetables. Enchiladas are rolled corn tortillas, filled with cheese and usually meat, baked in a red or green sauce. Quesadillas are flat tortillas with cheese melted between them; quesadillas are flat tortillas with cheese melted between them; quesadillas sincronizadas (sometimes called gringas) are filled with ham or pork. Tostadas are crispy, fried tortillas usually topped with meat or vegetables. Chimichangas are burritos that have been deep-fried for a rich, crunchy shell. Flautas are similar to chimichangas but are rolled (like a cigar) before being deep-fried, and resemble small flutes, for which they are named. Adventurous eaters can look out for the fried jumiles (stinkbugs) or chapulines (grasshoppers) sold at roadside snack stands.
Mexicans have an incurable sweet tooth. Beyond the ubiquitous chocolates (often flavored with chili powder) and pastries, traditional desserts include flan, a vanilla custard cake with a toasted sugar shell, nieve (ice cream), and arroz con leche (rice pudding). Many of the more traditional Mexican candies rely on fruits and produce, such as coconuts, bananas, and sweet potatoes for sweetness, rather than sugar.
Along with the table staples of tortillas, beans, and rice, cerveza (beer) ranks high in Mexican specialties. It is impossible to drive through any Mexican town without coming across numerous Tecate and Corona billboards, painted buildings, or roadside beer stands proudly advertising their products. Popular beers in Mexico (listed roughly in order of quality) are Bohemia (a world-class lager), Negra Modelo (a fine dark beer), Dos Equis (a light, smooth lager), Pacífico, Modelo, Carta Blanca, Superior, Corona Extra, and Sol (watery and light). Mexicans share their love for bargain beer with the world, as demonstrated by Corona Extra's status as a leading export and international chart topper in Australia, Canada, France, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, and many other European markets.
Tequila is the king of Mexican liquor. A more refined version of mezcal, tequila is distilled from the maguey cactus, a large, sprawling plant often seen along Mexican highways. Herradura, Tres Generaciones, Hornitos, and Cuervo 1800 are among the more famous, expensive, and quality brands of tequila. Mezcal, coarser than tequila, is sometimes served with the worm native to the plant – upon downing the shot, you are expected to ingest the worm. Pulque, the fermented juice of the maguey, was the sacred drink of the Aztec nobility. Ron (rum), while originally manufactured in the Caribbean, is incredibly popular in Mexico and is manufactured in parts of the Valley of Mexico.
Coffee-flavored Kahlúa is Mexico's most exported liqueur, but well-made piña coladas (pineapple juice, cream of coconut, and light rum), cocos locos (coconut milk and tequila served in a coconut), and the ever-popular margaritas (tequila blended with ice and fruity mix) are just as tasty. A michelada – lemon juice, tabasco sauce and light beer – is a popular way to perk up after overindulging.
Non-alcoholic favorites includes licudos (fresh fruit smoothies or milk shakes) and horchata (milky, rice-based beverage loaded with cinnamon and sugar). Atole is a thick drink made from cornmeal, water, cane sugar, and vanilla; the cocoa-based version is known as champurrado.
Cliff diving may be Acapulco's most famous form of entertainment. Head out to the cliffs at La Quebrada, at the western end of the street of the same name, and watch the clavadistas first scale the nearly vertical cliffs, pray, and then plummet into the churning waters below.
Acapulco has a reputation for partying, and it is well deserved. Discos, bars, and more vintage dancing clubs, all along the Costera, get going at midnight and don't stop until sunrise. Almost all include open bars, warrants a hefty cover. The city has a small but active gay nightlife scene, centered on a few small blocks. It is always easier and cheaper for women to get in, and many clubs offer deals to women on weeknights.
The Acapulco tourist office organizes a variety of festivals to lighten tourists' wallets. Festival Acapulco, a celebration of music, occurs in May, and the Black Film Festival takes place during the first week of June. On December 9, men and women from around the globe journey to Acapulco to test their cliff-diving skills (or watch others) during the Torneo Internacional de Clavados en La Quebrada. Mexico loves to celebrate its rich history, and nearly every month boasts a national holiday. In addition to these official fiestas, cities and towns across the country host smaller-scale but lively events in honor patron saints and local traditions. Sundays are always special; "daily" schedules frequently refer only to Monday through Saturday.
Mexican art can be classified into three periods: Pre-Hispanic (1500 BC-AD 1525), Colonial (1525-1810), and Modern (1810-present). With the arrival of the Spanish, Mexican art changed dramatically, but its indigenous roots still influence artists today.
Early Mexican history comes to life in the art and architecture of this period. The pre-Hispanic forms of architecture are often inseparable from the religion that produced them: from pyramids to ritual ball courts, the ruins evoke the vanished traditions of pre-Hispanic Mexico. Despite the differences between civilization that made their home here, common architectural elements like the use of stone are noticeable across Mexico. The Olmecs (1200-1500 BC) shaped basalt into the famous colossal heads. The Toltecs (AD 850-1100) built the Altantes columns out of stone to support the temple that one stood atop the Pyramid of Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli at Tula. The Maya (AD 300-900) and Aztecs (AD 1200-1500) used limestone and sandstone as building blocks for palaces, temples, altars, and stelae (upright stone monuments often inscribed with glyphs and reliefs).
On a smaller scale, some of the most impressive pieces of pre-Hispanic art are carved jade and ceramic figurines. Mayan and Aztec gods and nobility were often depicted adorned with massive addresses replete with feathers, necklaces of egg-sized beads, and bracelets of copper and gold to match the enormous bangles hanging from their earlobes.
Pre-Hispanic peoples also used art to tell stories that were central to their way of life. Murals, such as those covering the walls at the Mayan site of Nonampak, reveal scenes of warfare, sacrifice, and celebration. Fresco-like paintings on interior walls of buildings at Teotihuacán depict paradise scenes, floral arrangements, religious rituals, and athletic events. Similarly, scenes painted onto pottery depict mythological stories. Other reliefs and objects reveal calendrical events and dates – the Aztec Stone of the Sun is a famous example. This prophetic calendar weights over 20 metric tons and measures nearly four meters in diameter. Its concentric rings contain the four symbols of previous suns (jaguar, wind, rain of fire, and water), each of which represents a different epoch. The Aztecs believed they were living under the fifth and final sun – the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores would later fulfill their prophecy.
The Spanish used colonial art to facilitate conquest and religious indoctrinations of the indígenas, erasing local religions by building Catholic churches directly on top of existing temples and pyramids.
Franciscan, Dominican, and Augustinian missionaries used distinct styles in building churches and monasteries. The Franciscan style tended to be economic, while the Dominican style was more ascetic and harsh. The Augustinian architects indulged in gratuitous decoration whenever possible. Some remarkable buildings include the Monastery of St. Augustín of Acolman near Mexico City and the Monastery of Actopán in Hidalgo, where the frescoes exhibit indigenous influences.
The steady growth of the Catholic Church throughout the 17th and 18th century necessitated the construction of cathedrals, parochial chapels, and convents. The luxurious Baroque facades of the cathedrals in Chihuahua and Zacatecas teem with dynamic images of angels and saints aimed at producing feeling of awe and respect in the recently converted indígenas. Baroque expression is also reflected in the works of artists Alonso López de Herrera (c. 1580-1660) and Baltazar de Echave Orio (1558-1623). The genre of portraiture also became popular in colonial times; one of the most famous artists was Miguel Cabrera (1695-1768), whose paintings adorn churches in Querétaro and Taxco.
Luxury, frivolity, and ornamentation became more prevalent in the works of the artists and builders of the 18th century. While the Mexican High Baroque reached its extreme, the Churrigueresque style, a Spanish version of the opulent and graceful Rococo style brought further turns of excess into the world of Mexican architecture. Sculpted rays of light and garlands graced the interiors of Churrigueresque churches, and the intricately decorated estípites (pilasters), a hallmark of the style, were installed for looks rather than support. Neoclassicism replaced the Rococo style as Spain asserted its dominance over the Mexican colony. With independence from Spain 1821, Mexico artists began to break away from Spanish artistic traditions and follow the cultural currents of Europe. Although the Neoclassical style persisted in government-sponsored works, foreign travelers soon introduced Romanticism, and later Realism, styles that allowed artists to explore elements of their indigenous past.
One of the most important painters of the turn-of-the-century Mexico was José María Velasco (1840-1912), whose landscapes of the Valle de Mexico anticipated Cubism. On the political front of art, José Guadalupe Posada's (1852-1913) famous calavera (skeleton) cartoons and engravings criticized the Porfiriato; these later became an inspiration for politicians and artists alike. Gerardo Murillo (1875-1964) took on the name Doctor Atl, a Náhuatl word meaning water, and is well known for painting volcanos with "Atl-colors" (pigments dried with resin).
As the Revolution reduced their land to shambles, Mexican artists further rejected European models by developing a national style that better reflected Latin American culture. After the Revolution, Mexican artists became intent on building the concept of Mexico as a nation, and were eager to use art to do so. Using a Mexican art form dating back to the early days of the Spanish conquest, when evangelists used allegorical murals to teach indígenas the rudiments of Christian iconography, muralistas to decorate the walls of hospitals, colleges, schools, and ministries.
Diego Rivera (1886-1957), the most renowned of the muralistas, based his artwork on political themes including themes including land reform, Marxism, and the marginalization of indígena life. He used stylized realism to portray the dress, action, and expression of the Mexican people, and natural realism – complete with ugly faces, knotted brows, and angry stances – to represent Spaniards and other oppressors of the indígenas. His innovative blend of Mexican history and culture reached a wide audience and embroiled Rivera in international controversy.
Though Rivera is credited as the first to forge the path for muralistas, two other artists were vital in defining the art form: José Clemente Orozco (1883-1949), whose dark, angular shapes captured the brooding nature of his works' racial themes, and David Alfaro Siquelros (1896-1974), who brought new materials and dramatic revolutionary themes to his murals. The Cubist-influenced artist Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991) also adopted the use of murals, but to a less politically charged end than the other muralists who preceded him.
Not all 20th-century Mexican artists exchanged the traditional canvas for walls. By combining abstract art with realism, Juan Soriano (1920-2006) forged a name for himself as a painter and sculptor. Surrealist painter Frida Kahlo (1907-54) is the only 20th century Mexican painter with a place in the Louvre. Both Rivera and Kahlo, who shared two turbulent marriages to one another, blended indigenous subject matter with stylistic modernism. Crippled by both polio and a trolley accident that made her infertile, Kahlo was confined to a wheelchair for much of her life and her paintings and self-portraits are icons of pain. In the world of photography, Mexico's master Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1902-2002) brought the art of the lens to the fore. A photographer for Sergei Eisenstein's unfinished "Qué Viva Mexico!", Álvarez Bravo exhibited at New York's Julien Levy Gallery with Henri Cartier-Bression and Walker Evans, advancing a new Mexican style of photography characterized by an attention to everyday and indigenous life.
Research indicates that Náhuatl and Mayan were the two dominant Mexico before the arrival of the Spaniards. Dating back to 600 BC, the earliest inscribed at San José Mogote and Monte Albán are thought to be the examples of Mesoamerican writing. The tumultuous conquest and imposition of the Spanish language resulted in the loss of valuable information relating to indigenous language and culture. The conquistadors burned Mayan and Aztec codices (unbound "books" or manuscripts), considering them an affront to Christianity works. Nevertheless, a number of codices and a handful of narrative survived, notably the May Books of Chilam, Annals of the cakchiquel, and Popul vuh, the book of Creation. Rabinal Achi, the story of a sacrificed Mayan warrior, is considered to be the only surviving example of pre-Hispanic drama.
The Spanish eagerly sent home about their conquered land and the Mexicans' way of life. Letters, including Hernán Cortés's (1485-1547) Cartas de relación (Letters of Relation), were mainly crown- and church-flattering documents detailing the ongoing efforts to educate and convert indígenas. One of Cortés soldiers, Bernal Díaz del Castillo (1495-1584), wrote of the conquistadors' feats in La conuista de Nueva Brevísimas relacíon de la destrución de las Indias (Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies) is hailed as a humanistic defense of the indigenous people. Also known as the Florentine codex, Historia General de las Casas de Nuevas España (General History of the Things of New Spain) by Fray Bernardinoo de Sahagún (c.1500-90) is a compilation of Aztec history and culture in Náhuatl and Spanish.
Poetry also rose to prominence in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Mexican literary culture. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695), a criolla of illegitimate birth who joined a convent in pursuit of an education, became a master lyricist known for her wit. Her most famous works are "Respuesta a Sor Folitea" ("Response to Sor Filotea") and "Hombres necios" ("Injudicious Men").
By the start of the 19th century, the struggle for independence became the central topic in most Mexican texts. in 1816, Mexican journalist José Fernández de Lizardi (1776-1827) wrote what is considered the first Latin American novel, El periquillo sarniento (The Itching Parrot), a satire of Mexico's social status quo. Using historical themes to mask sweeping indictments of the military and clergy, Mexican novelists such as Manuel Payno (1810-94) sought to define a new national identity by glorifying strength, secularism, progress, and education.
Literature during the Porfiriato period (1876-1911) abandoned Romanticism for rational Realism. Most writers, however, avoided critiquing the political regime, since that would most likely lead to incarceration. During the late 19th century, the modernismo trend emphasized the value of pure aesthetics and reshaped Mexican literature under the direction of core figures like Amado Nervo (1870-1919). Nervo, the famed "monk of poetry," abandoned the clergy to pursue his writing. In addition to his first and most famous work, El Bachiller (The Baccalaureate), he produced several collections of introspective and often mystical poetry, notably Serenidad (Serenity), Elevación (Elevation), and Plenitud (Plentitude).
The desire to reintegrate vestiges of pre-Hispanic culture into the national tradition pervaded post-Revolutionary era Mexican literature. Works produced immediately after the Revolution highlighted social themes, particularly the plight of Mexico's indígenas. Mariano Azuela (1873-1952), who joined Pancho Villa's forces in 1915, relates first-hand the military exploitation of indígenas in Los de abajo (The Underdogs). Similar works, such as El indio (The Indian) by Gregorio López y Fuentes (1895-1966), reinstated the novel as a vehicle of social reform. Octavio Paz (1914-1998), the first Mexican writer to win a Nobel Prize, drew on Marxism, Romanticism, and postmodernism in exploring the making and unmaking of a national archetype in such works as El laberinto de la soledad (The Labyrinth of Solitude).
The 1960s saw the advent of Magical Realism, a literary movement that blends the ordinary and common with fantasy and wonder, resulting in texts that portray a dreamlike and distorted reality. At the forefront of this movement in Mexico stands Carlos Fuentes (b.1928), an acclaimed contemporary novelist whose many works include La región más transparente (Where the Air is Clear) and La muerte de Artemio Cruz (The Death of Artemio Cruz).
The works of female writers, such as Laura Esquivel (b.1950), who wrote the fantastical, recipe-laden Como agua chocolate (Like Water for Chocolate; 1989) has been well received both nationally and internationally. In 1991, Elena Poniatowska (b. 1932) wrote Tinísima – a novel recounting the life of activist-photographer Tina Modotti. In the past three decades, the Chicano literary movement has worked to describe the experiences of Mexican immigrants to the US. Sandra Cisneros's House on Mango Street – a 1984 novel narrated by an 11-year-old girl who talks about her life on both sides of the Mexican border – has made one of the most recognized Chicana authors today.
Usually sing by guitar-plucking troubators, these songs remain strongly linked to their folk origins. Based in the oral tradition of storytelling, corridos recount the epic deeds of famous, infamous, and occasionally fictional figures from Mexico's past. A corridista may also function as a walking newspaper, singing songs about the latest national disaster, political scandal, or any other decisive event. Controversial narcarridos, tales of drug trafficking, have also gained popularity. The outpouring in 2004 of shocked fans in Mexico and the US after corridista Adán "Chalino" Sánchez died in a car accident at the age of 19 revealed the depth of the genre's appeal.
Black-and-red-clad men with bells and capes – the same ones that appear in tequila ads around the world – have long been popular images of mariachis. The most famous of Mexican musical styles, mariachi is lively and light-hearted, with strong guitar and energetic horn sections. Wandering mariachis strike up in front of restaurants and play at traditional fiestas. The world-famous tradition of women being serenaded by a group of mariachis in Mexican garb is a must for any romantic evening. Traditional mariachi music may deal with one or several of the following topics: being very drunk, being abandoned by a woman, pondering the fidelity of one's horse, and loving one's gun. In their more somber or (sober) moments, mariachi songs have also been known to deal with death, politics, and revolutionary history.
Born in a fit of nationalistic fervor following the 1910 Revolution, rancheras were originally conceived as "songs of the people," dealing with matters of work, love, and land. Once performed with marimba and flute, rancheras are now backed by the guitar and trumpets of mariachi bands. The songs are characterized by a passionate, sincere singing style, with long, drawn-out final notes. Like American country-western music, today's rancheras are sentimental songs about down-and-out towns, faithful dogs, and love gone wrong. Norteños are a type of ranchera based in the northwest and strongly influenced by polka. Popular norteños bands such as Los Tigres del Norte have attracted a number of fans outside of Mexico.
Mexican music along the east-central coast and continuing into the Yucatán carries a strong dose of Afro-Caribbean rumba. In Veracruz and Quintana Roo, drum-laden bands often strike up irresistible beats in the evening twilight of central plazas. The style has inspired countless marimba bands, whose popularized music can be found blasting in markets throughout Mexico. Imported from, cumobia has joined salsa as the dance music of choice across central and southern Mexico.
Over a century old, the Mexican film industry remains a vital part of Mexican culture. With the 1910 Revolution came a slew of documentaries, notably those of the Alva brothers – Carlos, Eduardo, Guillermo, and Salvador. In 1931, Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein began shooting Qué Viva Mexico (Long Live Mexico!), a social critique intertwined with panoramic shots of Mexican landscapes; although hailed as a masterpiece, it was never completed. The 1940s ushered in the golden age of Mexican cinema, which began with Emilio "El Indio" Fernández's María Candelaria (1943), a Cannes honoree, and Luis Buñuel's Los Olvidados (The Forgotten Ones, 1950), a grisly portrait of the Mexico City barrio. Comedian Mario "Cantinflas" Moreno (1911-1993), pioneer of Mexican slapstick, earned the moniker of "the Mexican Charlie Chaplin" for his poor campesino (peasant) character Cantinflas. In 1960s, cinema hit a new high when Mexico received its first Oscar nomination for Roberto Gavalín's Macario, a film about a starving woodcutter who strikes a deal about Death and get the gift of healing.
Fox Studios built the first American studio in Mexico in 1996, and a direct-to-video market has flourished alongside increasing Mexican collaboration with hollywood. María Novaro received critical acclaim for her 1991 hit Danzón, a film about a Mexico City telephone operator who journeys to Veracruz to find ballroom dance and love. Texan Robert Rodriguez gathered a shoestring budget to film 1992's El Mariachi, which was later followed by Desperado (1995) and Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003). In 1992, director Alfonso Arau adapted Laura Esquivel's novel Como agua para chocolate, which held the title of highest-grossing foreign film released in the US until 1997. In 1999, Antonio Serrano's Sexo, pudor y lágrimas (Sex, Shame, and Tears) smashed movie records, winning five Ariel awards, the Mexican equivalent of an Oscar.
At the turn of the century, Mexican film cemented its place in American culture with two art-house blockbusters including Aldonso Cuarón's Y tu mamá también (And Your Mother; 2001), starring Mexican heartthrob Gael García Bernal. Bernal went on to star in Carlos Carrera's El Crimen del Padre Amaro (The Crime of Father Amaro; 2003) and numerous Spanish- and English-language films. Iñárritu later filmed 21 Grams (2003), while Cuarón brought his take on male adolescence to the set of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban(2004).
Mexican television can, for the most part, be broken down into four different categories: telenovelas (soap operas), comedias (comedic variety shows), noticias (news shows), and imported international TV dubbed into Spanish. Of these, telenovelas are second to none and occupy huge chunks of mid-afternoon and prime-time television. Mexico's first globally exported soap operas, the 1979 series Los Ricos También Lloran (The Rich Cry Too), drew millions of loyal international viewers. Though sitcoms are not terribly popular, Mexico loves its variety shows, which feature sketch comedy intermixed with musical numbers and audience participation. The long-running sketch comdey show Chespirito was so popular that its characters have become cultural icons; it was the inspiration for Bumblebee man on The Simpsons. News and current events shows are popular in the late evenings, but fútbol matches dominate airwaves at all hours, especially during the World Cup.
Although more commonly associated with Spain, bullfighting is Mexico's national sport. During the summer, matadores and their entourages perform in packed bullrings across the country. Jaripeps (rodeos) are also immensely popular.
While bullfighting is popular, Mexico's heart belongs to fútbol (soccer). The Mexican affinity for competitive ball games originated in 1200 BC, when Mesoamerican natives invented the rubber ball. Today, any unused patch of dirt, grass, or concrete is likely to be swarming with young children playing a rowdy pick-up game. In addition to informal street games, Mexico has a popular professional football league with at least one team in each major city. At the international level, the entire country cheers and jeers the Mexican National Team, a gang of flashy green-clad young men; life comes to a standstill during important fútbol matches. Mexico played host to the World Cup in 1970 and 1986, and hosts other important matches in the Olympic Stadium.
Additionally, bélsbol (baseball) attracts players and spectators at all levels, and Mexico has had its fair share of world boxing champions in the lighter weight divisions. There have been some notable Mexican marathon runners in the past years, and no discussion of Mexican sports is complete without mention of the country's illustrious record in the Olympic events of race walking and equestrian riding, two of the sports in which Mexico has won a gold medal.
Mexicans almost always use formal terms of address when speaking to one another. As in other countries, professional and academic titles convey respectability. Those who have earned a college degree may be addressed as licenciado or licenciada, and those with doctorates as doctor or doctora. When introducing yourself, a simple señor, or señorita (for young or unmarried women) is appropriate.
There are two ways of addressing someone in Spanish: usted is formal and indicates respect and distance, while tú indicates a closer relationship. Traditionally reserved for people of authority, usted and its proper verb conjugations are appropriate for use with strangers. Tú and its verb conjugations are used to reflect familiarity and may be used toward tourists to suggest warmth and welcome. Locals use both, depending on location and establishment.
Outside of the business world, Mexico is notorious for its relaxed approach to fixed meeting times and schedules. This phenomenon derives not from a Mexican indifference to punctuality, but from a more relaxed attitude toward time and its pressures. So, if you find yourself tapping your foot and staring at the clock expectantly while awaiting the arrival of a friend, it might be more comfortable to pull up a chair.
Originally reserved for those of European descent, the term gringo has recently lost its harsh association and welcomed all English-speaking visitors. Expatriates in Mexico have even taken to referring to themselves as gringos. Americans may sometimes find themselves labeled more specifically as yanquis (Yankees), and minority travelers may have to put up with racist epithets, but the gringo community embraces everyone. Minority travelers should also note that words like negro and chino are not meant as slurs, but rather as adjectives to describe race or nationality; they do not have the negative connotations that they might in other languages.

"Tomb Raider" is one of the most storied franchises in the history of gaming, and it has been around for generation after generation of consoles, and this new installment captures Lara at her very earliest beginnings.
Grittiness is something that fits the story given the tone in which everything is presented. Crystal Dynamics committed to a certain tone in this game and they were consistently hitting that feel all throughout.
The unpredictability to this game is great and really tests people's reactions. If you are not paying attention to certain themes in this game, you will really have a hard time staying alive.
In addition to the customization, people will love the scattered salvage and collectibles that are all around the world. Seriously, you will not want to move onto the next part of the game until you've collected everything.
Playing my 2nd play through on hard now. Fun as hell and looks better than many PC games(Im talking console version) blows any other console game out of the water.
This time doing 100% completion before I move on unless upgading is needed.
You can tell this game has set a new standard. No reviewer dares mention the graphics like they would any other game even if less impressive. No comparisons flooding the web. No praise even though when you play it you can't belive what you're seeing.
No outright praise out of fear of being attacked mixed with media trying to get the hype of the visuals under wraps
It certainly looks stunning on the PC. I'm still early on, but it is very well put together.

Thursday on CNN's "Situation Room," senior adviser to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump Stephen Miller offered a robust defense to Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's recent attacks on Trump University and Trump's foreign policy experience.
Miller argued it is the Clintons who have participated in a for-profit education scam, saying,"The only scam in education that I am aware of is the scam of Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton at Laureate University, where Bill Clinton was paid millions of dollars—where Secretary Clinton was funneling money to this university."
Partial transcript as follows:
WOLF BLITZER: Let's get more from senior adviser to Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Thanks for joining us.
STEPHEN MILLER: Great to be here.
BLITZER: Were you surprised by the blistering attack from Hillary Clinton as far as Donald Trump is concerned, she says he can take the U.S. down a truly dangerous path and called him temperamentally unfit to be president of the United States. what was your reaction?
MILLER: Well, not surprised, no, because like everything Hillary Clinton does, it was carefully core i don't see graphed and scripted in advance. Hillary Clinton's decision to try to make the election a referendum on foreign policy is probably the worst decision she's made since her reckless invasion of Libya. And I will tell you why. Let's do a before and after real quick. In 2009 when Hillary Clinton came in to secretary of state Iran was being choked by sanctions, Libya wasn't pursuing chemical weapons, and was in a state of cooperation compared to where they are now. You had Syria was not —
BLITZER: Let me interrupt for a moment.
MILLER: And Iraq, Iraq was stabilizing.
BLITZER: I believe, hold on, Stephen. the decision to move against Libya, Muammar Gaddafi at the time was the president of the United States working with allies in Europe. She was the secretary of state.
MILLER: And there was an internal debate. I am glad you brought this up. there was internal debate within the administration with some that said no, we shouldn't invade, some said we should. Hillary Clinton was the driving edge for the invasion while Robert Gates and others were skeptical. Look four years later, four years of Clinton's foreign policy, what do you have. Iran closer than ever to nuclear weapon, Libya in chaos and disarray, controlled by ISIS. Syria, a failed state, now you see the rise of ISIS and 200,000 dead and 4 million refugees, Iran closer than ever to nuclear weapon, more belligerent and hostile North Korea, you see chaos, death, destruction everywhere you look. That's Hillary Clinton's foreign policy signature. A trail of blood and death in her wake.
BLITZER: You welcome the debate on national security. She spoke about her experience as first lady, U.S. senator, secretary of state, and said Donald Trump's only qualification to dealing with national security foreign policy was that he operated a Miss Universe Pageant around the world, including in Russia. When you heard her say that, is she wrong? Does he have any other specific international national security experience?
MILLER: The most important qualifying factor when it comes to our nation's foreign policy is philosophy. Donald Trump's philosophy is America first. That means yes, NATO will have to pay its fair share. That means yes, we're going to stop nation building in the Middle East and start focusing on defeating terrorism. Hillary Clinton represents an internationalist America last foreign policy that seeks to nation build and spread democracy with American blood and dollars that's proven to be a catastrophic failure. Look at the Middle East today. Hillary Clinton is arguably the worst secretary of state in American history and one strains to find an example in the history of the world of a secretary of state who has done worse in her period of time.
BLITZER: Let's get specific. Ahead of Hillary Clinton's foreign policy speech today Donald Trump tweeted, and I am quoting, 'Crooked Hillary Clinton who I would love to call lying Hillary is getting ready to totally misrepresent my foreign policy positions.' Where did she misrepresent his positions?
MILLER: I mean a great example would be misrepresenting his position on the arming of our foreign allies. Donald Trump has clearly said that it is his absolute preference and goal to not have our foreign allies have to arm but he is strengthening the negotiation position of the United States by ceasing to cow tow to the Washington consensus. If you tell allies, no matter what you do, we will keep paying the lion's share, guess what, no one will chip in more. He is strengthening our position. It is time to do that. That's a great example where Hillary Clinton got it wrong.
BLITZER: Here's what she said today. I'll play a little clip.
HILLARY CLINTON (CLIP): It is no small thing when he suggests America should withdraw military support for Japan, encourage them to get nuclear weapons, and he said this about a war between Japan and North Korea. I quote,'If they do, they do. good luck. enjoy yourself, folks.'
BLITZER: We checked to see if he actually did say that and he did back in April in Wisconsin. I will play the clip for you.
DONALD TRUMP (CLIP): You know what, it will be a terrible thing, terrible. good luck, folks, enjoy yourself.
BLITZER: What do you make of that?
MILLER: I make of it.
BLITZER: Sounds like he said Japan and North Korea want to get into a fight, go ahead and fight.
MILLER: I think he said it would be a terrible thing. We have to draw back here and say the United States created an immense problem worldwide of free loaders. The problem of burden sharing is a serious one. The whole world is less safe because everybody understands the United States will always pick up the slack. You have to send a message to our allies that they have to begin to pay their fair share. Because if Asia doesn't begin to pay its fair share and Europe doesn't, when there is a crisis, they won't be prepared to meet it. Failed Washington consensus Hillary Clinton represents that. And that has been proven disastrous. If you look at our position in the world today, It has never been weaker. We have never been less safe. And I will say one more thing. You mention a tweet, pointing out the crookedness of Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton as secretary of state allowed her husband, or was involved in her husband's process of him giving major speeches to foreign governments, funneling millions of dollars into the Clinton bank account that had business before the state department. That's corruption on a scale beyond imagination. The Chinese government funneled money into the Clinton' bank account.
BLITZER: I think what you are talking about are contributions to Clinton Global Initiative.
MILLER: No, Bill Clinton received money for speeches from the Chinese government that went into the Cinton' personal bank account.
BLITZER: Let's double check that. How much he got from the Chinese government or Chinese individuals, what are you saying?
MILLER: He got money, if you look at the book "Clinton Cash,: it documents how Chinese government entities paid Bill Clinton to deliver speeches while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.
BLITZER: We will double check that.
BLITZER: Stephen Miller is still with us, senior adviser to Donald Trump. The New York state attorney general Eric Snyderman says it is straight up fraud. That's what he's accusing Donald Trump and Trump University of engaging in, says it was never even a university. Trump is now saying he wants to reopen Trump University. What's your advice to Donald Trump about this? Do you think it is a good idea to reopen that school?
MILLER: Of course it is but the point here is this is a political attack on Donald Trump. The university had an A rating from better business bureau. You can go online, see the peoples' comments that were enrolled that absolutely loved their experience. If you want to talk about scams, the only scam in education that I am aware of is the scam of Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton at Laureate university where Bill Clinton was paid millions of dollars where Secretary Clinton was funneling money to this university. You want to talk about legal issues we should focus on, how about this. Hillary Clinton says Barack Obama didn't go far enough with his executive amnesty. In other words, Hillary Clinton is saying she will take the U.S. Constitution and put it through a shredder.
BLITZER: Let me get the answer about Trump University. There's a guy by the name of Ronald Schnackenberg, involved in sales at Trump University. He says he resigned because Trump University was a fraudulent scheme that preyed on the elderly and uneducated. This is someone that actually worked for trump university.
MILLER: in an election year cycle where the fate of western civilization is in the balance, of course you're going to have some people who for political reasons bring up any manner of false charges. that's not surprising. trump university received exemplary ratings, had an exemplary track record, it will be brought back. it is well known legal circles if you settle frivolous lawsuits, you encourage more frivolous lawsuits in the future. we need a president who doesn't let the country get ripped off. Donald Trump is showing here by not letting his business get ripped off how to lead.

Melbourne: The Asian Football Confederation supports Sepp Blatter`s bid to secure a fifth consecutive term as FIFA president, according to AFC general secretary Alex Soosay.
Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein`s decision to run for world football`s top job has breathed new life into the presidential race but the 39-year-old faces an uphill task to convince members of Asia`s 47-nation bloc to abandon their backing for Blatter.
Malaysian Soosay said the AFC had unanimously pledged to support the Swiss incumbent at an extraordinary congress in Sao Paulo last year.
"I think that sentiment still remains today," he told Australian state radio ABC.
"As Asia we should always stay together united. That`s important rather than being divided."
Soosay`s comments come after Asia`s Olympic chief Sheikh Ahmad Al Fahad Al Sabah, a highly influential sports administrator whose support is seen as vital, told reporters in Jakarta this week it was "too soon" for Prince Ali to run.
The AFC`s top powerbrokers have gathered in Melbourne for an extraordinary congress later on Friday where they are expected to endorse constitutional amendments that will restructure the regional zones in the continent and shake up the appointment of vice presidents.
The congress is also likely to serve as an opportunity for Prince Ali to gain backing for his FIFA presidential bid which has heavy European support and is seen by analysts as posing a credible threat to Blatter.

What You'll Get
Although swapping bodies with the Postmaster General teaches valuable lessons about the postal service, the procedure often results in envelope wounds from his enraged wife. Improve your own spirit shell instead with today's deal: for $35, you get a Swedish massage or Vivo facial at Bella Lei Salon Spa & Boutique, plus 15% off one microdermabrasion treatment (an $84.25 total value). This deal is valid at all three locations in Mequon, Port Washington, and Cedarburg. Appointments are required. Mention your Groupon when booking.
Named a Top Salon by Milwaukee Magazine in 2006, Bella Lei gives clients an upscale spa experience in an intimate setting. Take advantage of these environs and spend 60 minutes the Swedish way ($70 value), as trained massage therapists use firm pressure and complicated kneading techniques to untie knots and burst stress bubbles. Twitching muscles frequently relax after these sessions and show a marked improvement in standardized testing scores. For clients looking for a fresher front, the Vivo Facial ($70 value) uses a marine mask to create an even tone, while a full hand, arm, face, and décolleté massage carries the glow up through your neck and down to your fingertips like a carrier pigeon on a Fantastic Voyage.
In addition to your primary treatment, you'll also get 15% off a $95 microdermabrasion treatment ($14.25 value), if you choose to accept the challenge. Sit back while microbeads of baking soda gradually exfoliate and slough away dead skin cells, smoothing wrinkles and reversing the effects of sun damage sustained in a poorly conceived spring break trip to the sun. The gorgeous interior of Bella Lei is an aesthetically inspiring place to partake in the annals of beautification. Elegant furnishings and lighting fixtures are complimented by ceiling murals and paintings in the key of classic antiquity, while plentiful potted plant life dispenses oxygen and does not request to be fed by bespectacled shopkeepers.
Seven Citysearchers give Bella Lei Salon Spa & Boutique an average of five stars:
- Everyone at Bella Lei in Cedarburg is amazing! They have excellent customer service, their staff stays current & updated on their skills & their prices are great! – mamasomms, Citysearch
- I was referred by a friend and Bella Lei has my endorsment as an excellent full service salon and spa. – Deb Drabant, Citysearch

Boosting Minimum Wage Impacts 27.8 Million Workers
On December 19, the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) released an updated analysis of the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013, legislation introduced by Senator Tom Harkins (D-IA) that would increase the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Author David Cooper finds that increasing the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour by 2016 would allow 27.8 million workers to receive about $35 billion in additional wages over the phase-in period, increasing the GDP by $22 billion dollars.
Since EPI's original analysis, five states have raised their state minimum wage for 2014: California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. In 2014, 21 states and the District of Columbia will have a minimum wage set above the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
Increasing the minimum wage disproportionately impacts female workers. Women account for 49.2% of the U.S. workforce, but account for 55% of workers affected by an increased minimum wage. The report also addresses stereotypes that presume low-wage workers are predominantly teenagers. In fact, only 12.5% of minimum wage workers are teens. The average age of minimum wage worker affected by a minimum wage hike is 35, and more than a third of minimum wage workers (34.5%) are at least 40 years old.
Over half (53.8%) of workers benefiting from a minimum wage boost work full time hours. Nearly a quarter (23%) have family incomes below $20,000 per year, and more than a quarter (27%) are parents. Nearly 19% of children nationally have at least one parent who would benefit from a minimum wage increase.
Cooper concludes that low wage workers are more likely than any other income group to spend additional earnings to meet basic needs, so raising the minimum wage is likely to boost overall economic activity and economic growth nationwide.

ED Farewell
I have learned many things in the last three years in Korea and last two as Chief of the Emergency Department. Maybe most importantly, I learned that respect is an action verb. Sometimes you just have to choose to do it, despite all feelings to the contrary, and have to repeat, repeat, repeat for it to finally take hold. Thank goodness things like that finally get easier after some practice.
Thanks everyone in the ED for all your hard work taking care of our patients everyday, day in and day out.

Melittin-induced cholesterol reorganization in lipid bilayer membranes
The peptide melittin, a 26 amino acid, cationic peptide from honey bee ( Apis mellifera) venom, disrupts lipid bilayer membranes in a concentration-dependent manner. Rather than interacting with a specific receptor, the peptide interacts directly with the lipid matrix of the membrane in a manner dependent on the lipid composition. Here, a small-angle neutron scattering study of the interaction of melittin with lipid bilayers made of mixtures of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and cholesterol (Chol) is presented. Through the use of deuterium-labeled DMPC, changes in the distribution of the lipid and cholesterol in unilamellar vesicles were observed for peptide concentrations below those that cause pores to form. In addition to disrupting the in-plane organization of Chol, melittin produces vesicles having inner and outer leaflet compositions that depend on the lipid–Chol molar ratio and on the peptide concentration. The changes seen at high cholesterol and low peptide concentration are similar to those produced by alamethicin (Qian, S. et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 2014, 118, 11200–11208), which points to an underlying physical mechanism driving the redistribution of Chol, but melittin displays an additional effect not seen with alamethicin. Furthermore, a model for how the peptide drives the redistribution of Chol is proposed. Themore »

The thing I like about the month of May is how it's become a community celebration. Prom is followed by graduations. Young people prepare for their summer jobs and their next steps into adulthood. Events held in May show evidence of kids growing up, as well as their parents grappling with mixed emotions of pride and anxiety about what's next for their kids and for themselves.

Map Papua-Neuguinea - Country Information
Map of Papua New Guinea - The Independent State of Papua New Guinea is a country located in Oceania, and which occupies the eastern half of the island of New Guinea. The map of Papua New Guinea also contains a number of the offshore islands, and it is one of the most culturally diverse countries on earth. The geography of the map of Papua New Guinea is extremely diverse, and often rugged. The island of New Guinea has a spine of mountains, the New Guinea Highlands, which make up its spine. This region is populous, and is covered with tropical rainforest, while dense rainforests are also found in the coastal lowlands, as well as large wetland areas. The country of PNG is located within the Pacific Ring of Fire, which means that it is subject to earthquakes and active volcanism, as well as tsunamis. The map of PNG is also surrounded by coral reefs, which are kept under close observation in the name of preservation. Mostly tropical in climate, PNG is one of the few areas near the equator which experiences snowfall, which occurs on the higher peaks of the New Guinea Highlands. The map of Papua New Guinea is divided politically into 22 province level divisions consisting of 20 provinces, and the National Capital District and Autonomous Region of Bougainsville.
