a.  Hi, my name is W.C. Filiguster, you can call me Gus for short. I received the first part of my name because I hung out in the shower which felt real good because I had tick fever and it was cool in there. Thanks to the people in ALMA HUMANITARIA, I am well now and happy to be alive. I want to thank all the people who donated an abundable (new word) number of doggie toys and chewies to me, now that I am not chewing and scratching myself I needed something to chew on. My favorite is the brown pony I received first. I think it is significant since the call for toys for me was placed in the PONY (BPE). I picked out 3 toys and have passed the others on to the other dogs that ALMA cares for. Oh, I also received a big recycled doggie bed, I am in high cotton now. The person fostering me is training me so that I will be a pleasant dog when I go on to my new forever home. I am house broken, good with kids, very affectionate and am pretty smart. I listen well and learn commands quickly. I think I would like to be one of the agility kinda dogs, I saw some on TV and it sure looks like fun. I have been learning English and my new most favorite word is TREAT. You can see pictures of me on the ALMA website. I am not real handsome now but my personality shines through and my hair is coming back. I sure would love to be placed in a loving home and would be a good dog, so if you are looking for a new dog or you know someone who is, please consider me. hugs to all, Gus

b.  Twice Yearly Sun Outage Cycle For TV and Internet Communications Satellites - We're right at the start of the twice-yearly sun outage cycle as the sun lines up behind the communications satellites on it's movement North each spring. You may experience a loss of TV channels or Internet service for a few minutes each day in the Baja California Sur peninsula from March 08 thru March 13.
     Sun outage will affect all satellite users of Dish Network, Shaw Direct, HughesNet, Starband, SKY, Dish Mexico and VSAT systems. Start and End times will be different for different satellites. The next period of sun outage will occur from September 29 thru October 06, 2012 as the sun once again moves south for the winter. - Alan Thompson, alan@BajaSatellite.comwww.bajasatellite.com , (530) 903-4257/33 8421 1142(MX), Todos Santos

c.       Daylight Saving Time Begins This Weekend in the US and Canada - Daylight Saving Time (DST) is also called "Summer Time" or "Daylight Savings Time," and begins on the second Sunday in March in most parts of the US and Canada. "Regular Time" is known as "Standard Time," "Normal Time" or "Winter Time." On Sunday, March 11, most residents in the US and Canada will move their clocks ahead 1 hour. Daylight Saving Time will not occur in Hawaii, Arizona, Midway Islands, and Wake Island, much of Saskatchewan, a small region of British Columbia, a small region of Nunavut Territory, and a small region of Quebec. Most countries around the world do not observe Daylight Saving Time. It tends to be a system observed in only in more industrialized nations.
     Daylight Saving Time in most of Mexico will occur three weeks later on Sunday April 1st. The state of Sonora does not observe Daylight Saving Time. In 2010, the Mexican government authorized ten Mexico municipalities that border the United States to began Daylight Saving Time to correspond with US Daylight Saving Time. These areas include Acuna, Coahuila, Anahuac, Nuevo Leon, Juarez, Chihuahua, Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexicali, Baja California, Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Reynosa, Tamaulipas, and Tijuana, Baja California.
     This change was requested to facilitate commerce with the US. Transportation and banking industries were especially affected by the three-week difference in daylight saving time and, in many cases, businesses had to to open an hour earlier in order to conduct business with US companies during the period when the two countries were on different times -

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name & email address.

a.  Went to U.S. Foods de Mexico and bought prepared, fully-cooked corned beef in a 4.7 kg package. They did not have any uncooked corned beef, but I was not able to determine whether they were just out of stock at the moment, or if they don’t carry it. This is not a retail store, you cannot look around to see what they have. You just tell the receptionist at the front what you want and someone brings it out of the warehouse to the front desk. Their phone number is 624-146-2221. A couple of the gals who work in the office can speak enough English to help you. baja.bpe@gmail.com

b.  We agree with the earlier remarks re: quality workmanship by San Bartolo contractor Miguel Meza. Miguel built us a beautiful palapa, then a pergola. His price was very reasonable. He was always on time. His work is of outstanding quality. If you are considering a palapa, pergola or anything else with poli de arco and/or palms, we highly recommend him. We invite those looking for such a contractor to visit our casa and see his work, and compare it to the work of others. We think you'll be impressed. BajaRoncho@me.com

c,    We just took our good friends from Denver on an Awesome Cruise, and we, along with the rest of the passengers, all had an amazing, AWESOME day. We saw zillions of rays, two enormous turtles, two huge dolphin pods and two whales. Our captains, Luis and Adon, made certain we had the opportunity to savor the events and, literally, went the extra mile to capture each moment. Some of us swam and snorkeled with and among the many incredible sea creatures.
     Lunch at Bay of Dreams was absolutely delicious and in a magnificent setting. It was a special day, and we thank Theresa and the Awesome crew for the privilege of enjoying our beautiful Sea of Cortez adventure. The Dunns
