Mexican Convention 2004
Mexican Convention 2004
04/09/2004 04:02 PMMy good buddy Oscar Sepulveda reports that he received an email with a
few details about this years Mexican Convention. The show will run
July 16th, 17th, and 18th at the World Trade Center in Mexico City.
Three day passes are 500 pesos, ( about $45.00 US ) and will include
one exclusive action figure! There are no details yet if the show is
collector oriented
like last year
or will be similar to Celebration with a mix of everything Star Wars.
The exclusive figure is rumored to be the silver Sandtrooper that
should be available on the summer convention circuit, then hopefully
available online like last years silver Boba Fett. More details on
this show as we get them.
Mexican cops get themselves chipped
Mexican cops get themselves chipped
08/17/2004 01:25 PMThe government of Mexico is RFID-tagging police in order to combat
record high levels of kidnapping and disappearances. About 170
officers are said to have been subcutaneously tagged in their arms
with microchips about the size of a rice grain of rice. The chip
grants them access to a crime database and becomes a tracking tool in
case they're kidnapped.
The first-of-its-kind step shows the lengths to which the Mexican
government will go to try to bring safety to the streets. Crime - and
how to fight it - has long been a challenge here. Kidnapping is
spreading, reaching beyond traditional wealthy targets to the middle
class. And in a country where only a quarter of all crimes are
reported because of fear that bribed cops will expose informants,
securing access to sensitive documents has become a priority.
The chip comes from VeriChip, a subsidiary of Applied Digital
Solutions of Palm Beach, Fla. The device is nonremovable (though it
can be deactivated) and is slipped under the skin in seconds via a
syringe-like device. The chip costs $200, plus $50 a year, in addition
to the scanner and software. The technology has existed for years and
was originally developed to let pet owners identify stray animals.
The chip sits dormant under the skin and is only "awakened" by a
scanner using radio- frequency identification, or RFID. The scanner
emits a signal that powers the chip, allowing it to send its
identification number. Then, depending on the configuration of the
database that is hooked up to the scanner, a door is opened or a
database unlocked, the way an ID card allows employees into the
office.

Rescue your teeth with Mexican dentistry
Rescue your teeth with Mexican dentistry
12/21/2003 09:34 PMAmazing first-person story of a guy who couldn't afford the full set
of caps his teeth needed and was looking at a lifetime of dentures,
who became a medical tourist to Tijuana and got the work done for a
fraction of the cost in Mexico.
I mentally multiplied $715 by 28 and groaned. Either my teeth were
about to become the most expensive thing I ever owned, or I was going
to lose them and likely have to start wearing dentures at the age of
39...
Once again we found tales of $120 caps, and of an entire industry
catering to American medical tourists. In several places along the
US-Mexico border, clusters of dentists operate within convenient
driving distance so that an inexpensive bus tour from Las Vegas or a
trolley ride from San Diego could bring you to where this cheap care
was available.
Nowhere did we find a horror story -- indeed, everything we read was
very enthusiastic. We did research and began to lay plans.

Mexican Card Variation Confirmed
03/23/2005 01:21 PMAs mentioned yesterday, the Tarfful figure purchased yesterday in
Mexico City didn’t have an ‘action promotion’ sticker and as such
stood as a possible variation –or a production error—but thanks to the
images sent by Rebelscum reader Carlos, who scored huge-time at
another Wal-Mart in Mexico City, we can now confirm that the Mexican
cards do not have the ugly little stickers and what a difference it
makes! Carlos went on to let us know that the boxes of product he
found were clearly marked April 2nd, but they scanned without problem.

Slavic Mexicans were not limited only to former Yugoslavia - they were
also playing in communist Poland during 60s. Nearly everyone here was
subjected to torture of listening their biggest hit "Pamelo, Aegnaj"
("Farewell, Pamela"). Some of them are playing to this day - check out
Tercet Egzotyczny (or, translated, "The Exotic Trio"). MP3s
(unfortunately, only from their recent and not-so-great period - well,
they are elderly people now!) and tour dates are available here. If you want to check them out they are playing
in US and Canada soon. And yes, they are *very* cheesy.
