I just received good news that the property tax increase for La Paz county has not been accepted for 2012 and most of the properties will pay the same as in 2011. If paid by Dec. 30 the discount will be 30% and 20% in Jan. If you built this year or re-manifested of course your base value will have increased along with the taxes.  Regards, Dennis   dennis@paydennis.com
=======================================

The Sling Box systems work worldwide as well as in Baja. I have two units that I have used for years. They are a good option for the traveler but will not replace Satellite TV in LB for large screens. The clarity of the picture works well on screen sizes up to 19" but when expanded to our 42" flat screen, it becomes difficult to view. The newer systems allow you to watch recorded video from your DVR. It is possible to view Sling Media on smart phones and Ipads. Be careful, only certain models of the Sling Box work on those devices. I recently purchased the Sling Box Solo HD. When I have it up and running I will let everyone know if it improves the picture quality. The downside is bandwidth. If you are sharing your internet with someone or are connected to a large network that shares bandwidth, you may be disappointed as would others on your shared network. Remember you must have broadband on both ends! The Sling Boxes can be used over a local network to allow viewing in other rooms. In general, I love it for travel but not my primary source for content.

I was at Immigration in La Paz yesterday.  On 5th de Febrero towards the mountains about 1/4 block (not the taco stand) from the office is a small box office on the curb. They make copies and have knowledge. 
Also, there is a Banorte Bank on Allende St. east of Isabel laCatolica (again towards the mountains) that usually has easy parking where you can pay your fees.  Cheryl

                PHOTO OF THE DAY.................YES, SEND IN YOUR OLD PHOTOS

This is a photo of the ribbon cutting ceremony I took at the “old” Pemex station in town, circa 1969. Ralph Weaver & Tico Gonzales (Cha Cha’s brother) partnered up to give the East Cape it’s first local source of gas. It was quite a big deal at the time as the Governor, all the local mayors and top Pemex representatives showed up to give lengthy speeches on a very hot day.  Earl Weaver
