============================================
YOGA CENTER SUNDAY SAMPLER
We all (should) know that the best way to stay physically healthy
and mentally sharp is to exercise regularly. Taking an occasional
walk will help, at least on those occasions where you actually move
your body, swing your arms, and get your heart rate up. You do have
additional options. The Los Barriles Sukhasana Yoga and Pilates
Studio (Yoga Center) offers a wide selection of classes, open to
both men and women, to keep you moving, keep you limber, keep you
sharp and keep you in line.
On Sunday, January 22 five of the instructors at the
Yoga Center will offer a FREE introduction to the exercises programs
that they have available. Each instructor will take 20 minutes to
introduce their specialty and lead a short exercise session.
Brigitte will wind you up with some Zumba
Anne will strengthen your core with Pilates.
Dede will share the essence of Vinyasa Flow yoga.
Sefi will strengthen you with her Bone-Building Tone and Zone Fusion
Class
Annalisa will straighten you out with the Egoscue method of postural
alignment exercises.
This class will be geared to those of you out there in
Pony land here who haven’t yet figured out what kind of a fitness
program will work for you and/or aren’t even sure of the difference
between Zumba, Pilates, Yoga, Fusion and Postural Alignment.
Two sessions will be offered and each session is limited to 15
participants.
Session one: 9-10:45
Session two 11-12:45
Please RSVP to: AnnalisaV@gmail.com if you would like to attend. Be
sure to tell her your preferred time slot.
Also, note that this is NOT a recurring class. The Sampler will be
offered only on January 22.
======================================
Last year we watched the eagles hatching and
feeding their eaglets on live streaming video at
www.raptorresource.org .
First egg laid last year was 2/23, so it should be about another
month before there is much to see with the eagles. In the meantime,
check out the live streaming video of bears in their dens at
www.bear.org. We will be
able to see them give birth and take care of their cubs. Craig
Hammes craig@GeekAmI.com
(The eagles were amazing last year! )
==========================================
Turn on your computer,
open your photos and important documents, take a good look, this may
be the last time you see them if you don't have a backup plan. Yes,
even I have been remiss on backups. You need to backup the data on
your computer on a regular and frequent time table. You need the
original plus at least an additional copy usually on an external
hard drive. That way you have immediate access to those photo's and
files. Next you need an off site back up - burn a disk and send it
to a family member. If some one steals you computer and your
external hard drive, you still have data. Your most important data
should be stored on line. There are a variety of sites that do this.
Carbonite and Mozy are the most popular. Those programs run in the
background and save a copy of your files (not programs) to the cloud
(geek speak for on-line storage). After the initial backup run,
those programs only react to changed files. Both Carbonite and Mozy
allow you to access your stored files from another computer and will
restore them to your hard drive in case of a crash.
Other options - I use Drop Box for files that I may
need on the run. I slide a copy into Drop Box and it sends a copy to
my ipad, iphone, android phone and all my other computers. If I need
insurance documents or registrations, they are will me all the time.
I store my tax returns on line using the Amazon Cloud drive.
Skydrive and Box Net are alternatives. All these options offer 5
gigs of storage for free and free syncing between devices. They are
fully encrypted, beyond the reach of hackers.
Hard drives do fail and most fail without notice. A
significant number of drives fail in the first 90 days. They seem to
work fine for about 3 years. After that the rate of failure is about
10% per year. Just when you think everything is fine, you turn on
your computer to find a black screen that informs you - No operating
system found!!! That's no time to remember that you don't have a
plan.
Next time you buy a computer, consider a solid state
hard drive. No moving parts, faster and more reliable! Back up
now! the computer guy (thecomputerguy@usa.com)

Recent phone/internet problems. Anyone tired
about my theories yet? Blame it on John…… that be hurricane John. Do
not just beat up on all Johns indiscriminately. Anyway last year I
had the similar issues I am hearing all over town. My phone worked
fine but my internet was intermittent/slow. Here is where I posted
my long winded write-up… with a picture of what to look for on your
line for the possible problem.

hold the Jump Clinic that we had planned on doing last week. It will
be held at the Exotikite Kite Center on the beach at 11 am Tuesday
morning (Jan 17th). Cost is 100 cocos per person. Just think how
much higher you'll be able to jump after the clinic! See you there.

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS -
DISCUSSIONS-
This category must have email address.
a. Hola:
It is called the INAPAM card, issued for free by DIF in La Paz to
those 60 or older who are residents of Baja. It is good for
discounts on taxes and some utilities, admission to some museums,
discounts on some trains and buses and perhaps air travel. The
discounts are sometimes available for lodging, medicines and other
things. Here is a Baja Nomad Forum posting: \
Over 60 and live in Mexico? Got your INAPAM card yet?
Anyone 60 or older living in Mexico with an FM2 (and in some places
with an FM3) is entitled to an INAPAM card. Basically is a senior
citizen discount card, and it entitles the bearer to discounts, some
significant, on airline fares (10-25%), bus fares (50% off), utility
bills, property tax bills, pharmacy purchases, grocery stores, some
restaurants, etc. Available through your local DIF office.
To get mine in Loreto (with Mirna at DIF), I provided:
3 infantil-sized photos;
2 copies passport;
2 copies MX driver's license (US licenses are OK too);
2 copies of a utility bill.
It took less than 20 minutes, and I had to get the card laminated
myself.
Easiest paperwork I've ever done!
Have not found where it can be obtained in Los Cabos. May have to go
to LaPaz
