If anyone out there has any old used greeting cards (Christmas - birthday - get well

Lord of the Wind
What started out as a personal rivalry has turned into the richest purse event for windsurfing, kiting
and stand up paddle boarding in North America. As the event founders and owners we, Chris Rogers
and Dan Holbrook were inspired to make this a world class competition.
The International Lord of the Wind Showdown is on for its second year. Our mission is to promote the
sports of windsurfing, kiteboarding and stand up paddling while showcasing the beautiful town of Los
Barriles, Baja, Mexico. We will share the profits from this event with the needs of our local school
systems. Our goal is to make this an annual event coveted by athletes and spectators from all walks
of life.
We are proud to offer media exposure in print and televised entities. TELEVISA aired a half hour
specials on our 2011 event twice throughout all Mexico. Justin Wolff Productions has produced a one
hour special which airs 17 times through Comcast Sports Network. Please see our website for
airtimes. The LOW 2012 media distribution strategy is specific and targeted bringing in teams of
award winning professional photographers, videographers and writers. Led by Erin Calmes of Keta
Films, this coverage will include increased TV production and international print distribution. The
only tri-sport event to be streamed live, Epic Sessions TV worked their cameras diligently and are
back for 2012 in HD format with live interviews.
We have partnered with the following magazines which continue to run advertisements and editorials
in both their print and on line outlets: Kiteworld Magazine which distributes to kite destinations
across the entire world, Kiteboarding and Windsurfing, Windsport, and Kitesurfing magazines are
found all across North America, and covering Europe our advertisements are found in Kitesurf and
Windsurf magazines.
We are offering partnership opportunities ranging from title sponsorship to a variety of other
donations. Fully detailed sponsorship packets are available for your review at www.lordofthewindbaja.com
Thank you,
Chris Rogers and Dan Holbrook, Founders and owners of Lord of the Wind Showdown
Please help us keep this event going.

DISCUSSIONS EARTHQUAKES
a. . http://www.oem.com.mx/elsudcaliforniano/notas/n2263949.htm
My translation of the first sentence of the article is: From Claudia
"In the last 24 hours it has been recorded from 18 to 30 eartquake tremors with epicenter 5-7 km west of Los Barriles, Baja California Sur, with a radius of 20 km, of which the population only felt probably 4, of those the strongest was 3.6 grade Richter..."

ROAD REPORTS
a. Road report for highway 1 from TJ to BV-travel dates Oct 9, 10, &11. Generally, the road conditions were the best I have seen in a long time. Specifically, the most important individual location is the worst one. Just a bit South of Catavina Southbound is a four mile rather rough side road detour. It is helpful to know when it is only four miles because you can afford to progress slowly and carefully. I drive an All wheel drive Jeep Grand Cherokee and drove through this stretch faster than I should have but I was lucky. I inflicted no damage on my car. But any low clearance vehicle should be driven very careful. There are also some suspicious soft dirt/sand areas that would have caused me concern if I had two wheel drive.
