a. Biosphere Reserve - I'm curious about an item about permits to enter the biosphere reserve posted in the last issue of the onion. There is no 'course' required for visitors who enter the reserve from any of the controlled access gates on the east side, such as san dionisio or la zorra. If the gate is manned, you pay 20P.,if it isn't manned, you enter free. My understanding from semarnat is that the permit system is intended to control access by large groups, and a permit is not required by two or three people on an overnight hike.- Jack Danylchuk, jdanylchuk@hotmail.com , 867 873-4824, Canada

b. Hacked Email Accounts - This is a reminder that if you have a Hotmail, Yahoo or Gmail account, and your password is weak, you're practically begging for your Email account to get hacked. Once in, the hacker raids your account's address book and starts sending spam mail to everyone they find there. Often as not, they'll also change your password so you can no longer log in to stop them. I know of at least three accounts where this has happened, just in the last month. If you are using a weak password, like some common word that can be found in a dictionary, you are strongly urged to change it to something stronger. - Alan Thompson, Todos Santos Technologies, alan@TodosSantosTechnologies.com

The whole body is represented in the feet. Your feet represent the water energy, which goes
deep and seeks out the foundation of things. The feet are the most negative pole of the entire
body and because of this fact many negative energy blocks are found in the feet. The pain
and discomfort in these areas could be manifesting or warnings of chronic health conditions.
By stimulating and reflexing certain points on your feet and hands the body can be restored to its
natural healthy state.
