Don Mariano Leyva Dominquez (QEPD), Los Mascarones y Teatro Chicano Los Mascarones became the most well known and respected theatre group in Mexico, largely because of the political content of its work, but also because it played a major role in developing linkages with like-minded groups in the United States and across Latin America. It was founded in 1963 at the Prepa No. 6 in downtown Mexico City with five members and a director named Mariano Leyva Dominguez. Their name derived from the masks, or mascaras, that bordered the entrance to the school. . . .

Esteban Valdes Salazar is the municipal historian ("cronista") of the municipality of Totatiche, Jalisco. He was born in Totatiche and as an adult moved to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, where he worked as a verger in one of the local parishes. It was there that his interest in genealogy and historical research began after he was exposed to the disciplines by a parrishioners. While still living in Monterrey, he wrote his first book, Los Valdes de Totatiche, which documents the various branches of the Valdes name in Totatiche and Colotlon, Jalisco. His second book, El sacerdocio ministerial, singular don de la parroquia de Totatiche,Jalisco, documents the descendants of Joseph Cayetano Grano and his six daughters, who are considered pivotal figures in history of Totatiche and who are the ancestors of most of the illustrious clergy that has come from Totatiche. He has also documented the genealogy of Saint Cristobal Magallanes Jara, who was born and served as priest in Totatiche, and most recently wrote a two volume history of Totatiche. This history, which was published by the Ministry of Culture of the State of Jalisco, can be found in many of the most renowned libraries in the United States. Arturo Ramos is an economist in Washington, DC. His family immigrated to Los Angeles, where he was born, from the vicinity of Totatiche, Jalisco. His interest in genealogy was inspired by his father, who had himself collected and compiled subtantial genealogical information about their family before Arturo joined the effort. Arturo is an active member of the Ranchos genealogy group and has traced many of his lineages back to the 17th century. He is currently writing a book which explores the historical ethnography of the Totatiche region and documents his father's genealogy within this ethnological context.

'The Grass Widow of the North' is a title that is analogous to a hunting and gathering culture where the men of a tribe or village go hunting and their wives/women stay in a temporary communal hut...married women but without their men. Such women were known as "grass widows." When the hunters triumphantly return with their "trophies" of flesh, there is a huge celebration and all the people celebrate with a huge feast that culminates in the burning of hut. In this poem, this woman is apart from her husband because he's gone to look for work in the North. The words are also sound effects and, if you listen carefully, you can hear "La Llorona" in the wind and a reference to the children's rhyme, "Que llueva, que llueva, la Virgen en la cueva" I sang with my playmates when it rained. 'Tempus Fugit' Stopped in Its Tracks is an oxymoronic reference to time flying but going nowhere because it is stopped. The poem also refers to a popular 1930s song generally played on an accordian. The poem also refers to the Quetzalquatl legend and Malinche. 'Mexico' touches on the oil boom and resultant financial depression of the 1980s. Margarita Vallazza's book is out of print but she has a few copies available, contact her directly at: TeaCozyGran@kc.rr.com

The Engadgets Podcast is usually about technical reviews of different electronic "gadgets." On show #18 they stepped off the path of truth and onto the path of the erroneous mainstream teaching by repeating that it was "ONLY THE FRENCH" that came to the assistance of the United States in the Revolutionary War. Listen to Lila Guzman PhD. refute this heresy.
