STOLEN!  I just had my passport work visa, and wallet with only cash card and papers stolen out of my car tonight. It was all in a black HP backpack and also contained a Go Pro HD Hero 2 camera and some clothes. I will pay a $250 USD reward for the return of the contents and papers, I am scheduled to leave Mexico next Saturday Jan. 21st 2012. I hope to get this back before then, you can contact me at panidis@email.com  or call me at 6241479524 I appreciate any information on this and you can leave the bag and contents at Kiteboarding Baja with Dante, or at Exotikite with Ian. Thank you.
==========================================

Lost: Mens' Revo sunglasses, large size, brown. Don't have a clue where. Probably in Los Barriles. If they've been kidnapped, please don't cut off an earpiece! I'll pay the ransom. Bob 624-156-2820 bixkityboy@gmail.com.  Thanks
===========================================

This is some info for Shaw users from the Satellite Guy. Shaw has a new Triple Satellite XKU LNB, it is so that residents of Canada can receive programming from the new bird that is in orbit. The new bird's coverage will not include southern USA and South, so the XKU LNB will not help us in Baja. All new antennas shipped by Shaw will have the new XKU. DO NOT USE IT, if some of your sets are not all on the same antenna, they will all need to have the same XKU added. The present Shaw Receivers have to be reprogrammed to even see this XKU, new channel maps installed, it's better for us to use the Dual Sat Quad LNB for both the 60E and 75E. Check with your supplier to make sure any antennas you order come with the old LNB's. Shaw requires any customer with a cottage set, to up grade it to the XKU if the home is upgraded as all receivers will be reprogrammed at the same time. The older style LNB's will still get HD and the channels on 107 and 111 and it will take years for Shaw to completely switch over to the new MPEG4.
==============================================

The first Latin dance class was great fun. The teacher began with cumbia and will go on to salsa and more as we learn. He charged 130 pesos/person for the two hour class, but the price will go down if the number of dancers goes up. We’ll continue meeting every Wednesday from 4:00 – 6:00, dancing on my terrace overlooking the Sea of Cortez.  For more info, contact kay.mundt@gmail.com
