It's common to have a jQuery slider on the homepage of your news/magazine WordPress website showing off top, recent or featured blog post news stories. Usually these posts show a thumbnail image, the post title, the date, a post excerpt and a link of course. Having these featured posts can draw attention to specific posts. There are plenty of WordPress content slider plugins out there for this purpose, but what if you wanted this feature on a non-WordPress site? I had just that requirement so I coded one (built off of the bxSlider script), and here it is, feel free to use it on your projects!
The slider turns each list item into a slide, with a left column and a right column, here is a glance at the code:

"Hoffman Farm" by Eric Rennie
You would think from the photograph above that the small New England town in which I live is pretty bucolic. But apart from a few active nurseries here and there, the community these days is mostly given over to suburban housing developments. Hoffman Farm was purchased by the town some years ago to preserve open space. The farm now features a community garden and a dog park.
The photograph is one of 25 appearing in a juried competition called "Land" at the Midwest Center for Photography in Wichita, KS. Curated by gallery drector Linda Robinson, the exhibition runs from July 29, 2016 to Augist 12, 2016.

It's Saturday.
I have impeccable timing, except for not! ;)
What I DO have is a particularly nasty stomach flu, which has made me both unwilling and unable to leave my house. And obviously, that means I haven't been out of my pajamas much, because really, who gets dressed at home?
A far more glamorous wife than I, my husband might think. {But never say, he's much too sweet and classy and I'd kick his tail. ;)}
I had a few unavoidable errands Friday, so I did my best to hide the circles under my eyes, the frizzball 'do, and the chipping paint on my fourth left toenail.
Also, this was clean. ;)
Have a great weekend! I'm hoping to kick this bug in the seat and be back to blogging like a normal bloggite soon.
So consider yourself warned. ;)

By now, tablet PCs are fairly de rigueur in almost any household with a need for fuss-free technology. Initiated first by Apple with its legendary iPad launch in April 2010 – barely 15 months ago – the market for tablet devices has swelled tremendously with major technology players launching a range of devices operating on Apple, Android, Blackberry, and Windows 7 Operating Systems (OS).
The latest player to jump into the fray is computer giant HP. Its tablet device the HP TouchPad runs on a proprietary HP WebOS 3.0, and comes with a 9.7 inch diagonal flush capacitive multitouch display, support for Adobe Flash, a virtual keyboard and instant-on access.
Coming in with two storage options – 16 GB (S$699) or 32 GB (S$799), the device weighs in at only 740 grams with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability. Sadly, there isn't any mobile broadband option although I've been told its easy to synch the device with a handphone for web access.
What are some of the features of the HP TouchPad?
1) Easy multitasking. This is probably the strongest feature in the device which allows you to move from one task to the next quickly with a fairly easy interface.
2) Synching of calendars, messages, photos and emails from Facebook, Google, Microsoft Exchange and others from the cloud.
3) A universal "Search" box that allows you to search anything – online or offline.
4) Support for Adobe Flash Player when browsing the web. A must for Youtube-holics!
5) Skype video calling with a front facing 1.3 MP camera and digital microphone.
6) One stop viewing of photos from sources like Facebook, Snapfish and Photobucket.
7) Decent sound quality with Beats Audio, and accompanying headphones (sold separately).
8) Access to multiple emails.
9) Ability to lock the screen easily so that it doesn't keep shifting – a boon for those using the tablet while lying on the bed!
Conceived like a game, its recent launch event for the TouchPad at Klapsons Hotel (thanks to Pat and team at GoodStuph for the invite) offered a chance to experience the tablet in "real life" scenarios. One could have a photo taken, have one's portrait drawn by a talented artist from OIC, experience the music quality on the device, or spin a wheel to win a prize.
The event was quite a star-studded affair (as consumer electronic device roadshows go). We swung to Jack and Rai performing their ditty, and witnessed guest appearances by Irene Ang and film auteur Eric Khoo.
With the tagline "Works Like Nothing Else", HP is clearly marketing the device as a lifestyle enhancement accessory (the other mantras it uses are "Friends Like Nothing Else", "Rocks Like Nothing Else", and "Thinks Like Nothing Else").
For those on the lookout for a mid-sized and mid-priced tablet device, the HP TouchPad offers a nifty performance with some useful productivity features. While the user interface isn't as slick or polished as the iPad or Android devices, it does quite a decent job as tablets go.
Visit the website or call 1800-278-0182 for more information on the device.
Tags: Android, Apple, Hewlett Packard, HP, HP TouchPad, iPad, Tablet PCs, Tablets, WebOS
Wonder why they don't price it lower, relative to Apple. That might give them an edge, since the user experience doesn't quite match the iPad. Although, I've not tried the HP tablet yet so I could be wrong about the experience. Maybe if they let me test drive one, I'd be happy to compare 🙂

Title of Project:
Continuous video and image based analysis of the relationship between two sessile benthic species (B. ovifera and M. modiolus) and the surrounding physical oceanographic features in the Head Harbour/West Isles/Passages EBSA, New Brunswick, Canada.
Research Project Description:
I am investigating the distribution of various benthic species within the Head Harbour/West Isles/Passages EBSA region in relation to physical oceanographic features. My research will also focus on developing a research framework that can be applied to both other shallow and deep water regions using a combination of multibeam and HD/UHD cinema grade camera systems to assess species distributions and the subtle changes in benthic communities. Lastly my research will look into advantages, disadvantages and the differences between discrete and continuous video / image analysis to see which one is a better candidate for predicting benthic species distributions and identifying any possible critical features of benthic environments.
Research Interests:
Underwater photography and cinematography in scientific applications
Marine Protected Areas
Marine benthic habitat mapping

Dodging raindrops on Monday evening, we gathered under the glorious Morton Bay fig trees in the beautiful Botanic Park to participate in the third public Full Moon Gathering (esbat) that the Temple of the Dark Moon has hosted for this year. Not only was the Moon entering the astrological sign of Sagittarius (the Sun being in Gemini), but it was also a partial lunar eclipse.
Lunar Eclipses are about relationships and polarities. With the Gemini-Sagittarius axis involved, this Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants in our lives concerning the balance between Gemini-ruled and Sagittarius ruled areas of life. The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity is a mental axis, where Gemini represents the "lower mind" and Sagittarius represents the "higher mind".
The Gemini Sun encourages us to think logically, while the Sagittarius Moon persuades us to intuit, and to think in a broader manner. Sagittarius symbolizes the quest for meaning and ideas that expand upon the "here and now".
Gemini is quite comfortable in his or her immediate environment or neighborhood, while Sagittarius stimulates us to venture beyond it. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Lunar Eclipse invites us to do.
This eclipse is about communication, attitude, and our sense of adventure. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out.
Over the coming weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can't sit on our feelings. We need to express them.

Peyote is a small, spineless cactus, Lophophora williamsii, whose principal active ingredient is the hallucinogen mescaline. From earliest recorded time, peyote has been used by natives in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States as a part of traditional religious rites. Mescaline can be extracted from peyote or produced synthetically. The word "peyote" comes from the Nahuatl (Aztec) word "peyotl."
Peyote grows extremely slowly. Peyote is native to southwestern Texas and central Mexico and is found primarily in the Chihuahuan Desert. It often grows among scrub, especially where there is limestone. For thousands of years, peyote has been used during the religious ceremonies of various Native American tribes. Today, recreational use of the drug is prohibited, but members of the Native American Church are allowed to use it in spiritual contexts.
While the predominant use of mescaline is in Native American ceremonies, it was at the forefront of popular culture during the 1960s. This was in part thanks to the publication of The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, a book by anthropologist Carlos Castaneda that focused on peyotism. The authenticity of the book is now under serious suspicion by most researchers. Still, the book managed to bring thousands of people into the realm of peyotism.
Any use of this drug outside of religious ceremonies is prohibited by federal law, but that does not prevent thousands of Americans from using peyote for personal recreation. Some recreational users enjoy consuming peyote at parties, while others prefer using it in the privacy of their own homes. Most Native Americans frown on recreational use of peyote. The drug is meant solely for religious practice; any other usage perverts its spiritual intent. One anonymous quote looks at peyote as separate from other drugs in that it is not meant for recreational purposes: "Compared to other hallucinogens, mescaline is a very focused and concentrated fire, an inner fire that causes an increase of energy, giving spiritual insights."
Short term effects of mescaline
When a person first ingests peyote, nausea and vomiting as well as anxiety are common. After these initial peyote effects have been described as very dream-like, drifting, almost a delirium type of state during the first couple of hours. The sensation is similar to LSD but less edgy. While both auditory and visual hallucinations occur, many users say that a peyote high is more suitable for inner reflection and contemplation. Much depends on the potency of the peyote and the blend of mescaline and the fifty or some odd alkaloids contained in cactus.
Other effects can include
- increased body temperature
- heart rate
- blood pressure
- loss of appetite
- sleeplessness
- numbness
- weakness
- tremors
Peyote can be dangerous. Some users experience lowered blood pressure and difficulty breathing. Other common side effects include nausea and vomiting about 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion, as well as intense feelings of anxiety and paranoia throughout the experience.
While direct deaths from mescaline are uncommon, any injuries or deaths are more likely to be a result of accidents that occur because of the distorted perception that is the drug's major effect. If you do decide to try peyote or mescaline, avoid moving around too much and make sure someone who is not using the drug is there to help you if you need it.
Peyote long term effects
Much research has been done on the potential long-term effects of using peyote on a regular basis. This research found that most people using peyote in religious settings fail to experience any negative effects, other than occasional short-term nausea and stomach pain. The lack of lasting phsycial and mental trauama is one of the things that distinguishes mescaline from other hallucinogens. However, there are a few reported cases of users developing hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (hppv). HPPV is also seen in frequent users of LSD, acid and other hallucinogens. The condition causes sufferers to experience flashbacks of hallucinations a long time after taking the drug. The biggest danger of HPPV is that the sufferer may experience a flashback while he or she is operating a moving vehicle or engaging in some other potentially life-threatening activity.
Heavy users of mescaline may develop a tolerance to the drug. Although it takes a really large amount of mescaline the cause an overdose, the built-up tolerance to mescaline poses a risk in that it can be transferred over to other hallucinogens. This means that a person with a high tolerance for mescaline will also have a high tolerance for LSD and angel dust, even if he or she has never used those drugs.
The biggest risk in using peyote or mescaline in recreational setting is that drugs sold on the street and billed as mescaline almost always contain other drugs, such as LSD, ecstasy and angel dust. While mescaline is not necessarily harmful in and of itself, the other drugs commonly found in mescaline tablets certainly are.

Former Vermont Governor and DNC Chairman Howard Dean said that the US is too avid to make a deal with Iran should "step away from the table" on Wednesday's "Morning Joe" on MSNBC.
After host Joe Scarborough stated "I think John Kerry and Barack Obama are far, far too eager for a deal with Iran and could actually get a better deal if they walked away from the table and possibly came back later," Dean replied "I actually think you're right about that."
Dean continued, "I think the United States is negotiating from a much stronger than we were four years ago…And the reason for that is these guys are desperate to get rid of the sanctions."
He did criticize Congressional rhetoric as "silly" and said that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has "discredited himself," but added "I think Obama is right to try to get a deal. I'm worried about the way these negotiations have gone, and I think that Joe is right, probably step away from the table and say, 'okay. You're not backing off on sending you the uranium to Russia and we'll get rid of the sanctions at our own pace.' I agree."

On Thursday 8 October we welcomed guests to the private view of The Crime Museum Uncovered. The evening was opened by author and journalist Tony Parsons with speeches given by Sharon Ament, Director of The Museum of London, Clive Bannister, Chairman of The Museum of London and Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, Metropolitan Police Commissioner and Helen Bailey, COO of MOPAC.
The Crime Museum Uncovered offers the public the first opportunity to see items from the Metropolitan Police's Crime Museum. The original Crime Museum was established in the mid-1870s and only open to police professionals and invited guests.
The real items on display, at one time police evidence, tell the stories of the people – the victims, perpetrators and police officers involved – in cases that influenced advancements in police detection and changes to the law.
Guests at the event included author Lynda La Plante, television presenter Gethin Jones, Baroness Helen Newlove, the victim's commissioner; actor Stephen Marcus and comedian Vic Reeves.
The Crime Museum Uncovered opens on 9 October and closes on 10 April 2016. Tickets for the first Saturday have already sold out and we are anticipating high demand for the rest of the exhibition. We advise booking your ticket ahead of travel. Created with the support of the Metropolitan Police Service and the Mayor's Office for Policing And Crime (MOPAC).

The ancient town of Bungay, with its wealth of historic sites is a tranquil tourist spot, well worth a visit.
Situated in a loop of the River Waveney, Bungay commands extensive views over lush water meadows, often flooded in winter, but fringed with silver green willows, and grazed by cattle in the summer months.
This time capsule of a town boasts a Roman well, a Saxon church, the remains of a Norman castle and Benedictine priory, and a fine lead-domed Butter Cross. The townscape is dominated by the majestic tower of St. Mary's Church, serving as a symbol of Bungay's rich heritage. These and many other sights can be visited by following the Bungay Town Trail.
Culture vultures will love the newly renovated Georgian Fisher Theatre in the centre of town, offering a wide programme of activities and events.
A unique shopping experience awaits visitors with a tempting array of individual specialist and antique shops. When you're ready for a break, you will find plenty of choice in Bungay's restaurants, cafes and tearooms. The Bungay Real Ale Trail provides a great opportunity to sample a range of local ales, with six of the original thirty-three 20th Century drinking houses still in operation today. Those who like the taste of the local Ale will also love St. Peters Brewery on the outskirts of the town.

As I travel the country speaking with trainers I have noticed that one of the most common questions amongst these trainers is "How do I get the local golf professional instructors to send me their students? The answer I would have for all of you is that it is not necessarily difficult to accomplish BUT it does takes a strong discipline to stay with (what we call) a "CULTIVATION" plan. Let us first take a look at the definition of cultivation:
to promote or improve the growth by labor and attention.
to develop or improve by education or training
to till and prepare for the growth
to foster
to give special attention to: to cultivate a friendship
This is the most effective way to cultivate golf instructors to start sending you their students:
Set aside a half a day per week to cultivate golf instructors in your area. By definition, cultivation takes time; therefore you will need to plan to make these visits every week over a long period of time. As time goes on, one or two golf instructors may start sending students your way while others may take a little longer. It's all about putting the time into building your relationships with these golf instructors.

Some of the vehicles fell into the water, and others remained on the fallen section of the bridge.
Investigators went to the bridge to check on the quality of repair work done by the city. The weight limit of the bridge, 18 tons, has been regularly exceeded, news reports said.Continue reading the main story

Life is short and the world is wide. Because of this it's sensible to take pleasure from every moment of this life and also to explore our fabulous world, going to the remote places, getting familiar with new people together with the unknown cultures and traditions.
The majority of people like to travel, especially now, when there's a plethora of alternatives to get to almost all cities around the world. It's obvious that the speediest travelling method is by plain. A lot of people choose this type of transportation, since it's quite secure and comfortable. However, there's no romance and delight in travelling by plain. If you're trying to find the possibility to enjoy the process of coming from one city to another, you could be recommended to decide on a great trip by train.
Though train travel is known as an old-fashioned method of having a journey, it appears to be essentially the most stunning, relaxing and even luxurious option to travel in style. Train travel provides the number of its own fantastic benefits, the most exciting of which is the possibility to observe the passing scene through the train window, and so, to get acquainted with the surroundings of the locations you are travelling through. Furthermore, train travel provides the possibilities of deluxe travel, such as restaurants, comfortable seating and sleeping areas and often even washing facilities.
Train travel couldn't be called the fastest and economical travelling method. Still, there're many train routes, that happen to be as fast as affordable. For this reason, train travel stays one of the most favorite travelling options.
And certainly, thinking of train travel, we shouldn't ignore such a well-known deluxe train as the Orient Express, which provides its passengers with the gorgeous travel experience in the best traditions of the 1920s and 30s, permitting to enjoy the glamour and ambience of these exceptional times.
There's no question that travelling by the Orient Express is quite costly. Even so, it's worth the cost, as such a trip provides the supposed memories, being awesome and incomparable. So, in case you don't know yet: "What is Luxury Train Travel?", you need to learn about Orient Express along with its deluxe routes for example Venice to Prague, Venice-Prague-Paris, Venice-Prague-London, Prague to Paris, Prague to London, London to Verona among others, to decide on the one as a way to see the beautiful vistas of the most wonderful areas of Europe along with the most eminent cities.

A traveler stretching an arm into New York City traffic for a taxi is quite often young, male and relatively affluent.
When the passenger slides into the back seat, there is a less than 6 percent chance that the driver on the other side of the partition was born in the United States.
And as the cab wades back into a busy avenue, there is a nearly two-in-three chance that the rider will opt not to use the seatbelt.
"Apparently all the hectoring from the taxi screen has not been enough," said David S. Yassky, the city's departing taxi commissioner and star of back-seat public service announcements imploring riders to buckle up.
The findings are among the highlights of a fact book issued by the city's Taxi and Limousine Commission on Monday, the first such study completed since 2006. Data was compiled using taxis' GPS devices and electronic surveys taken inside cabs.Continue reading the main story
Some of the takeaways were intuitive: More than 90 percent of yellow taxi pickups occur in Manhattan. Average hourly gross revenue for drivers (before lease rates for the cab and gas costs are included) reaches a peak of over $44 on Thursdays at 10 p.m. — a stretch that combines typical weeknight travel demands with heavy bar and restaurant traffic. Fares bottom out on Wednesdays at 3 a.m., with gross revenue at around $26 an hour.
But many figures seemed to counteract conventional wisdom. Mr. Yassky said he was surprised to find that many more passengers were male (49 percent) than female (34 percent). Seventeen percent chose not to answer.
"Honestly, I thought you would see more women because I think of taxi passengers often as women who feel safer taking a taxi," he said. "Maybe it's a testament to how people don't fear taking the subway."
The report also found that taxi ridership skewed much younger than the city itself. Passengers ages 20 or younger make up 35 percent of the ridership; another 35 percent said they were between 21 and 35 years old. Citywide, the groups account for 26 percent and 25 percent of the population.
Charles Komanoff, a transportation economist, cautioned that passenger surveys of this sort were often subject to selection bias. He said he was especially skeptical of the findings on riders' gender and age.
Fifty-two percent of riders said they owned a car; only a few more (55 percent) have driver's licenses at all. And more than 40 percent said their household income was at least $100,000, not including 17 percent who preferred not to answer. Eleven percent said their household income was below $10,000.
Among drivers, demographics continue to shift significantly, according to yellow taxi licensing data. In 2005, the highest concentration of drivers (14.4 percent) came from Pakistan. Today, the top spot belongs to Bangladesh, where 23.1 percent of drivers were born, compared with 13.6 percent in 2005.
The most for-hire vehicle drivers (19.5 percent) come from the Dominican Republic.Continue reading the main story

CAMDEN, N.J. — For those hoping that the restrictions on Joel Embiid may be coming to an end, the Sixers have bad news.
Embiid will not play Tuesday night in Utah for what the team is calling "load management." Embiid, who's averaging 20.5 points and 10.1 rebounds in 27.6 minutes a game this season, will play Thursday night in Sacramento.
The decision may seem odd seeing as the Sixers haven't played a game since last Friday's win over the Pacers. Unfortunately, head coach Brett Brown didn't really have answers, deferring to the medical staff.
"I really just follow, like I always tell you, the instruction of our medical people," Brown said Monday, "and there is completely a thought-out plan of why this plan has been recommended. I think if it requires more information, they will be the ones to explain why they decided to make this recommendation."
The Sixers are equipped to handle their star big man's absence. Richaun Holmes is now healthy and they have the services of free-agent signee Amir Johnson. Brown also mentioned Jahlil Okafor's name when asked about his plan to replace Embiid's minutes.
The team will also be without guard Jerryd Bayless, who suffered an injury to his left wrist fighting through a screen against Indiana. X-rays were negative, but it's the same wrist Bayless eventually had season-ending surgery on last season.
"It's a tough break," Brown said. "But it's one of those things that [Timothe] Luwawu[-Cabarrot] and [Nik] Stauskas and Justin Anderson — that's why you have a team. These guys are in shape, their attitudes have been great, their fitness level is great. Even though they haven't played, the system caters for all that. "
Bayless started the season as a starter before moving to the bench in favor of Dario Saric the last two games. The move seemed more to get Saric going than it was a slight on Bayless. The veteran guard, who signed a three-year deal last offseason, added another legitimate three-point shooting threat to the lineup, shooting 42 percent through nine games this season.
While it's simply a night off for Embiid, it may be something more serious for Bayless.
"It's all about opportunity for the next guy," point guard T.J. McConnell said. "It's unfortunate what's happened to Jerryd. It's bad luck. We're all praying for him. Like I said, we just have to move on and next guy up."
Bayless underwent MRI and CT scans, but his status beyond the game against the Jazz is unknown.
The Sixers' five-game road trip starts tomorrow in Utah, followed by a game in Sacramento Thursday before stops against the Warriors, Clippers and Lakers.
Guarding Simmons
Sixers point guard Ben Simmons presents a matchup nightmare.
Defend him with a big and he'll blow by him. Try a point guard and he'll post him up. Even wings have struggled to keep up with the strength of the 6-foot-10 point guard.
Simmons has seen all these looks and has found a way to beat them all.
"I just test them," Simmons said. "See how they play me. See what they give me on the court. But every game is a new challenge. I'm learning each one but I think every game I'm getting better."
So far, opposing teams just don't have an answer for Simmons.
"We're just seeing a smorgasbord of everybody's belief on how they should defend Ben Simmons," Brown said. "It has not been a cookie cutter process yet. And because the league so well coaches and because the league is so well scouted, in time you're going to see a constant — mostly — way Ben is defended."
Simmonds leads all rookies in points, assists, rebounds, steals and minutes per game.
Lefty Fultz?
Markelle Fultz was practicing on a side court, mostly just dribbling and doing light drills.
But when he did shoot, he did so ... left-handed?
Before you freak out, it appeared to just be a way for Fultz to get some work in while not using his injured right shoulder. Brown didn't even realize he was doing it.
"No," Brown said. "I haven't even seen it but I can tell you that there's nothing to read into it."
Fultz has missed the last five games with right shoulder soreness and scapular muscle imbalance. He is out indefinitely.

13 Oct Spring Sale and New Collection Coming
Hello! I hope this email finds you well and enjoying Spring, or Fall – wherever you are in the world. I have lots of updates to share with you, and a great SALE, so please read on until the end.
I had a look around my Antique Assemblage shop 'L'Atelier de Talaru' and realised I have neglected it lately, while working on other projects. It's time to refresh my stock and bring in some new designs. I am working on these designs now, and will launch them in November. The end of this blog post shares some sneak peeks of these designs.
Meanwhile, you can enjoy 30% off all designs at L'Atelier de Talaru. Please click on the sale icon below to visit the shop. Use coupon code SPRINGCLEAN30 when you checkout and make sure the discount is applied before you pay.
I've spent most of this year working on developing my reproduction range 'Empire de Talaru'. I'm really enjoying search for and working on these pieces, so that I can offer genuinely fascinating antique style for a fraction of the antique price.
My hand holding snake pendant, handmade by me using recast components, is a great success and was described by one customer as an 'heirloom piece with archaic beauty'. What an apt description – it's always amazing how a customer can so appropriately sum up what comes from my heart when making a piece of jewelry.
Click any of the photos below to view more details on Etsy
Hand holding snake necklace
Other additions to the reproduction range include post earrings, rings and some natty little hand hook components for you to use in your jewelry designs.
Royal Bee post earrings
Flower ring
Hand Hook Clasps
I am brimming with inspiration for a whole new range of feminine, glittery festive designs that can be worn all year round. I browsed my photo archive recently and fell in love again with the designs I was making years ago and am 'going back to my roots' somewhat with this new collection. I have a double purpose – as I will be selling at a market here in Brisbane in November and need new stock. Here is a sneak peek of what is to come.

Local Lingo: How to Talk Like a Poblano
You've just arrived in Puebla, and you feel good. You've read your guidebook, so you know at least a little bit about Mexican culture, and you spent weeks brushing up on your Spanish. Confidently, you head out onto the streets of the historic center, ready to converse with the locals. As two women pass by you, you overhear one say: "Compré la bolsa por sólo cien varos." The other replies, "Guau, que ganga! Se ve bien fresa."
Hmm. Someone bought a purse that looks like strawberries? Weird. But you weren't going to talk to them anyway, so you shrug it off. Next, a young man walking behind you answers a call on his cell phone. "¿Bueno? Hola, mi Jorge! ¿Que onda? Güey, estoy chambeando porque necesito lana. … Sí, nos vemos al rato en la pachanga. Y después vamos al antro! … Orale … Vas a comprar unas chelas? … Va que va. Nos vemos."
Say what? You didn't understand a word he said. You didn't think your Spanish was that bad.
Finally, you arrive at a restaurant that looks charming and offers a lovely view of the zócalo. You decide to grab a bite and sit down at a small table in the corner. At least here you can practice Spanish, right? A waitress appears, hands you a menu in English, and says, "Good afternoon. What would you like?" Humbled, you order a meal in your native tongue.
Sound familiar? Many travelers to Puebla have had an experience like this. Although it's nearly impossible to prevent people from trying to speak English with you, learning some Mexican slang can really go a long way toward helping you converse with locals. Let's take a look at a few of the most common, family-friendly slang words.
A Brief Guide to Mexican Slang
antro No, we aren't talking about anthropology here. An antro is a nightclub. You'll find an abundance of them in the Los Sapos and Avenida Juarez areas of downtown Puebla and near the UDLA campus in Cholula.
chamba and chambear Chamba is another word for job and chambear is its verb. The verb is mostly used as in the example above, estar chambeando.
chelas No fiesta is complete without beer, or chelas.
chido Used to describe something that's "cool" or desirable, as in ¡Que chido!
dos que tres Slang for más o menos or "more or less."
fresa vs. naco Entire books could be written about these two gems, but essentially a naco is an uncultured, uneducated, or low-class person (similar to a "hick" in English), and a fresa is a snob or someone who fancies themself as a person of high class or status. Neither is typically a compliment, so use with caution.
ganga This isn't a word you'll hear a million times a day, but it's good to know, especially if you plan to go shopping. If something is a ganga it is a bargain.
guácala Guácala is synonymous with gross or disgusting.
güey Use this word when you want to say "dude" or "dudette." You'll hear it frequently whenever young people are talking.
lana and varos Literally "wool" and "bars of gold," these words simply mean "money." You may also hear plata, or "silver," which is popular elsewhere in Latin America. Of course, all three can be used for their other meanings, too. The context should make it pretty clear whether the speaker is talking about textiles, precious metals, or moolah.
me cayó el veinte People use this phrase when they want to say, "I suddenly realized."
¿Mande? This loosely translates to "Could you 'send' that to me again?" or "What did you say?"
mero This term, often repeated for emphasis, is often used to mean "the best" or "the exact" one. If a product says mero mero on its label, then it is calling itself the best. Note that if someone is giving you directions and says, "Está en meritito en la esquina," then they are saying the place is precisely on the corner.
neta This word generally means "the real deal," but it can be used as a question for confirmation. In conversation, a person might ask, "¿Neta?" which is kind of like asking, "Really?" Then if the person responds with "¡Neta!" they are basically saying, "Yes, what I just said is true." If someone tells you that you're la neta del planeta is means "you're the best."
órale If people are surprised about what they hear, in a good way, they say órale. It can also be used as an affirmation, particularly when you are about to say goodbye on the phone. The reaction for when something is bad is hijole.
pachanga This word describes a huge, often drunken, party — a rager.
padre Like chido, padre (literally "father") is used to describe something that's "cool," as in desirable. Avoid expressions that contain the word madre (literally "mother"), most of which are negative and offensive.
¿Qué onda? What's up?
se me fue el avión A Spanish equivalent of the expression "I lost my train of thought."
For more Mexican slang, check out the fun paperback dictionaries of "mexicanismos" by Maria del Pilar Montes de Oca Sicilia, El Chingonario and ¡Ah, Qué Chida es la CH!

Interesting post. Thanks for sharing.
I have a few pieces of advice to add. We have lived full time in Mazatlan for four years and have a sixteen year old son. I hear all kinds of things. These comments relate to what I hear here, which may or may not relate to Puebla or other areas of Mexico.
Chido is used by the younger folks, and padre is used by the older generation. Young people who say padre only do so in front of older people. If they use it amongst other young people, they are fresas. Nobody wants to be called a fresa, so don't do so. You can talk about other people as fresas, but you better know what you are talking about.
Young people use güey all the time as do primarily lower class uneducated people. I would say that any foreigner who tries to use this expression will look way out of place. It's okay as a joke or a humorous greetings, but I would not try to make it part of your day to day vocabulary.
Thanks again – always learning!
I think this is so chido! I am married to a Poblano and him and his primos talk like this all of the time! I don't mind the words they say and I am happy that they have some slang there because it makes life more interesting!!! You can like it or not but it makes them different and special at the same time! In the USA we have too many slang words and people from other countries use ours. Some are bad and some good! I love Mexico and always have and I can't wait to go back! I feel like a Mexican because my heart lives in Mexico! Viva Mexico y Viva Los Poblanos!!!!
Hi guys,
Thanks for commenting on the article. There's so much one can say about slang that it won't fit in one article, so your comments really help enrich the conversation.
@Greg: The idea was to help foreigners recognize certain slang terms so that following a conversation would be easier. You are right in that it might seem odd to locals if non-native Spanish speakers start rattling off a lot of these words. My advice as a language teacher would be for people to notice how and when these words are used and then decide if they want to incorporate any of these phrases little by little into their speaking.
Also, I think you are right about chido and padre. It seems younger people say chido more often than padre. But when it comes to güey, that is used by all classes here in Puebla, especially younger well-to-do students. A food stand where I eat esquites is commonly visited by students from the Iberoamericana and UDLAP universities, two of the most expensive in the country, and literally every third word I hear from them is güey. Literally.
@Jessica: Hope you can come back soon. Puebla will be here, waiting for you!
Great comments! I have seen a lot of changes since I came here in the 70's, when "fresa" seemed to mean more like "square" and "padre" was the in word… "órale" is also used a lot for "wow!", as each time someone opens a cool gift at Christmas, for our gang. "Está cañón" means something like "that's tough," etc.
Most of the words you add to your list are part of the lingo used in the Central part of the country -mostly "formed" in Mexico City. For the lingo experts out there I would suggest to hear the song Chilanga Banda (the most popular version is sung by Café Tacvba).
And I would add just one word that I believe is as poblano as you can get: "tole". I'm poblano myself and I don't use it and I've heard it just a few times. It's something like "brother" but in a homo-erotic way if I understand it right. As you might have noticed, the homo-erotic words in the "Mexican" language are no extrangers.
As usual, really nice post 😉
Reading your list again, here two contributions to it:
– The origin of "Me cayó el 20" goes back to the time where a phone call in a payphone costed 20 cents. You had to wait untill the coin dropped -"cayera el veinte"- to start talking.
-Mande: Literally "you order". This word was used since the Colonial times by the servants, and it remained as a common phrase. People who use it don't realize its true origin.
And one more:
-Aguas. Literally "waters". This is used to say "watch out". Once again, in Colonial times, there was not drainage so people would take their bedpans every morning and through its "waters" out of the windows. They would prevent the pedestrians yelling: "aguas".

1. I ran 5km. In a real race. With real people. With real actual "runners". AND I didn't come in dead last. Sure the guy that came in first in the 10km ran it in the time it took me to run 5km but whatever I finished. 37:02
2. My mom finally saw me skate. She finally saw derby. She finally saw Jam Buster. She saw me get hit in my face, make sure my nose wasn't bleeding, get up and then take our the girl that hit me.
3. My Oma's recovery. She's 84, had a stroke a year and a half ago. But this year she really kicked that strokes ASS! She's never going to be 100% herself again and that's been a hard grieving process but the fact that she's basically said, "screw you" to her stroke and has not only survived but thrived is truly remarkable.
4. My dad found us an apartment. Here's the thing we moved to Switzerland without a place to live, without any connections and only with Johns contract in our hands. My dad had to be in Europe anyway. He rearranged dates and helped us find a place. He gave us a fragment of legitimacy. He acted as interpreter and as negotiator.
5. John stopped being on call. Moreover he stopped working for the place that required on call. He spent a year and a half basically half asleep. He genuinely doesn't remember being in his brothers grad photos because he had just come off of on call. Admittedly in a weird way on call his prepared him for jetlag.

Top 5 moments of not so Win in 2011
1. 0:48 is where you see the cause of the black eye I had
2. Mere days after finding out we were moving to Switzerland John rear ended someone whilst we were on our way to his sisters place. The only thing that saved John from me murdering him was a gentleman who saw this happen, poked his head in my window and said, "don't kill him, he didn't mean it." That man is seriously the only reason I didn't totally lose my mind at John.
3. 2000 francs to get Dylan here. Hindsight is 20/20 right. Not a day goes by where we don't miss Inspector Dylan Tiger. We're not only counting down days until we go home for a visit but we're also counting down the days until we get to cuddle the stuffing out of Dylan and boop his nose.
4. Forgetting to tell one of John's great aunts we were moving to Switzerland. oops. We seriously have NO IDEA how this happened. The entire southwest corner of Manitoba knew...except Great Aunt Florence. She found out at our nieces christening when my sister-in-law said, "And this is my brother Johnathan and his wife Tatiana, they're moving to Switzerland." Cue Great Aunt Florence "What?!" oops.

Finance proposes to amend the trust loss restriction event relieving provisions under the Act to mitigate certain unintended consequences.
In a recent comfort letter, Finance proposes to amend the trust loss restriction event relieving provisions in subsection 251.2(3) of the Income Tax Act, enacted on December 16, 2014, to mitigate certain unintended consequences. The proposed amendments expand the exceptions to a trust loss restriction event for investment funds where an investor becomes a majority-interest beneficiary, or where a group of persons becomes a majority interest group of beneficiaries, because another investor has redeemed units in that trust.
The comfort letter also proposes to amend the extended filing and payment due dates for a trust's deemed year-end to preclude a trust loss restriction event where there is no change in a trust's beneficiaries, as well as provide more flexibility for electing various coming-into-force dates.
A "loss restriction event" will occur under subsection 251.2(2) when a person or partnership becomes a majority interest beneficiary of the trust or a group of persons becomes a majority interest group of beneficiaries of the trust.
Generally, a majority interest beneficiary of a trust is a beneficiary who, together with persons and partnerships with whom the beneficiary is affiliated, has a beneficial interest in the trust's income or capital with a fair market value (FMV) that exceeds 50% of the FMV of all the beneficial interests in income or capital respectively, in the trust.
A majority-interest group of beneficiaries of a trust at any time means a group of persons, each of whom is a beneficiary under the trust at that time such that if one person held the interests as a beneficiary of all of the members of the group, that person would be a majority-interest beneficiary of the trust and if any member of the group was not a member, this test would not be met.
For the purpose of determining whether a particular trust is subject to a loss restriction event, a person or group of persons is deemed not to become a majority-interest beneficiary or majority interest group of beneficiaries, respectively, of the particular trust for certain transactions and events described under subsection 251.2(3) of the Act.
Relieving provisions were enacted on December 16, 2014 to address concerns raised by the investment funds industry about the trust loss restriction event rules. New paragraph 251.2(3)(f) provides that the acquisition of equity in certain types of investment trusts will not be treated as a loss restriction event of the trusts if certain conditions are met.
Specifically, paragraph 251.2(3)(f) provides that the acquisition of equity in a trust that is immediately before the acquisition an investment fund, as defined under subsection 251.2(1), will not cause a person (or group of persons) to be considered to have become a majority-interest beneficiary (or group of majority-interest beneficiaries) in the trust. This result is subject to the requirement that the acquisition is not part of a series of transactions or events under which the trust becomes a portfolio investment fund or ceases to qualify as an "investment fund" as those terms are defined in under subsection 251.2(1).
New subsection 251.2(7) provides that certain returns and payments that would otherwise be due within 90 days of a loss restriction event (as a result of a deemed year-end) can be filed or remitted within 90 days of the trust's ordinary year-end.
The new rules specify that the relieving amendments relating to the trust loss restriction events interested in these recent publications:
come into force on March 21, 2013 unless an election is made to apply the relevant relieving provisions from January 1, 2014.
Generally, an investor may become a majority-interest beneficiary of a trust by acquiring units in that trust. Alternatively, an investor may become a majority-interest beneficiary because another investor has redeemed units in that trust.
A person or group of persons is deemed not to have become a majority-interest beneficiary through the acquisition of equity of the particular trust where the conditions of paragraph 251.2(3) (f) are met. However, the exception does not address circumstances in which an investor has become a majority interest beneficiary as a result of another investor's redemption of equity in the trust.
In the comfort letter, Finance clarifies that the exception was intended to apply to redemptions and proposes to recommend an amendment to the legislation to provide that a person is deemed not to become a majority interest beneficiary, or a group of persons is deemed not to become a group of majority interest beneficiaries, of a particular trust solely because of the acquisition or disposition of equity of that trust, provided that the trust meets the conditions in paragraph 251.2(3)(f) noted above.
The specific subsections and paragraphs for which filings and payment due dates are extended in the case of a deemed year-end are included in subsection 251.2(7). Excluded from the list are returns and payments for registered investments (i.e., Part X.2 of the Act) and Form NR4, "Statement of Amounts Paid or Credited to Non-Residents of Canada", under subsection 202(8) of the Income Tax Regulations.
In the comfort letter, Finance proposes to amend the filing deadline extension to include these provisions. In addition, Finance proposes that provisions related to the application of interest on capital gains refunds for mutual fund trusts (i.e., subsection 132(2.1)) and returns and payments for tax on designated income of certain trusts (i.e., subsection 210.2(5)) will also be included in paragraph 251.2(7).
In a recent technical interpretation, the CRA confirmed that a person who is affiliated with a majority-interest beneficiary is deemed to be a majority-interest beneficiary of a trust for purposes of subsection 251.1(3) (TI 2014-0534841C6).
As a result of this interpretation, a loss restriction event may be triggered without any changes to an investment fund trust's beneficiaries. For example, if a majority-interest beneficiary of a trust gets married after March 20, 2013, the spouse is deemed to become a majority-interest beneficiary on that date, triggering a loss restriction event under paragraph 251.2(2)(b). While
Finance does not disagree with CRA's interpretation, Finance notes that the interpretation does not fully conform with the policy objectives of the trust loss restriction event rules.
Accordingly, Finance will recommend an amendment for the purposes of the trust loss restriction rules, that a majority-interest beneficiary of a trust at any time means a person or partnership that is at that time both a beneficiary, as defined under the current trust loss restriction event rules, under the trust and a majority-interest beneficiary, as defined in subsection 251.1(3)) of the trust.
The loss restriction event amendments generally apply retroactively to March 21, 2013. However, a trust can elect to defer the application of the amendments to January 1, 2014. In some cases, trusts that were subject to loss restriction events in 2014 have filed tax returns on the basis of the Act as it read before the introduction of the amendments that were enacted in December 2014.
In the comfort letter, Finance proposes an amendment to the coming-into-force rules for the trust loss restriction event amendments (including those amendments proposed in this comfort letter) such that these provisions apply as of March 21, 2013, unless a trust elects to have the amendments apply either as of the first day of the trust's first 2014 taxation year or the first day of the trust's 2015 taxation year. This election must be filed in writing by the filing due date for the trust's last 2014 taxation year.

In today's 'better-living' segment, i'll be sharing something i read in 'GDWJ' my bible study group on blackberry. One of our members was kind enough to share, and i totally agreed with it 'cos i could relate with the write up. The portion that jumps out at me is the part in red...
Jesus Is Interested In Your Success
Jesus delights in blessing you. It is His good pleasure to see you blessed in every area of your life. Now, don't put a limit on His blessings in your life. The blessings of the Lord are not (as some may erroneously believe) just seen in material things. Jesus is infinitely interested in your total well-being. He is interested in your family, career, fulfillment in life, marriage, ministry, and boy, does the list go on!
No way! A thousand times no! Jesus will never ridicule or deride your concerns as petty. He is never dismissive or condescending. If it bothers you, it "bothers" Him, and He wants to fix it because He is interested in your success and total well-being!"
I remember when my neighbour had like 5 dogs or so. Those dogs always disrupted our sleep at night with their noisy barking and all. And that time, Mish was still a baby so you can just imagine! I didn't know what to do, but i wasn't happy about it at all. I knew i couldn't make my neighbours sell or kill their dogs just because of my family. Believe me, sometimes, i imagined poisoning some meat and throwing them over the fence into their compound (i didn't ooooo! It was just a desperate thought.. Looolz!), yelz ke! It was that bad! So i just wished that one day, we'll wake up and the dogs will be gone, and guess what? That's exactly what happened! We woke up one day and they were gone! Just like dat.....till today. I don't know what happened, but what matters is that my wishful prayer was answered and we could sleep well at night. #Phew!
Last weekend, i was driving to my parent's place and i had to pass through Mile2. I was worried about all the robberies going on there, and to top it all, there was serious traffic. Chei! See trailers, tankers and container trucks everywhere. I was just tired. I prayed to be out of there in no time at all, and believe me.... How i manouvered my car out of there, i don't know. God made a way for me, and i was out of the mess in record time!
It doesn't matter what the request is, it doesn't matter how 'somehow' or silly it is...God truly cares...most especially about the tiny details in your life.
Don't just save the big requests for Him...ask Him ANYTHING and He will grant it. This is one of the reasons why i usually say that those who do not know God don't know what they are missing. Truly!
If only you knew how much you mean to Him......
Remember......if it bothers you, it bothers Him.
I leave you to chew on that.....
