A big THANK YOU to all of the Volunteers that made the Catholic Church Rummage Sale possible this year.  This sale could not have happened without you, Jamie and Marcos for donating the space and also allowing the sale to be held at Plaza del Pueblo.  I would be remiss if I didn't mention the ongoing patience of The Lighthouse Pizza staff for allowing us to use their sombra for a sale location.  We are a very giving community and the cooperation of everyone made this sale possible and 11,575 pesos is the product of all the hard work.  Sefi

 BAJA NIGHT SKIES --Week of January 28, 2013:Wednesday, when the moon was at the center of the Winter Hexagon, we identified 10 nearby stars that are among the 20 brightest in the night sky.Where are the other 10 brightest: Some are presently hidden from view in the daytime sky.But if you are awake at 5am, go outside and you can spot at least 8 more of the top 20 along with the ringed plant Saturn. Facing south between 4:30 and 5:30am, 15th brightestAntares is the giant red star beating at the heart of Scorpio low in the southeast.Saturn is above and to the right of Antares. Below Saturn, just above the southern horizon, are the bright stars Alpha and Beta Centauri in 3rd and 11th place. Alpha Centauri is the closest naked eye star to our sun at 4.3 light years.These two stars point to the Southern Cross just to their right, and the top of the Cross, Acrux, is the 12th brightest star.High above the cross is Spica, number 16. The 4th and 5th brightest stars are in the Northern sky these mornings. The Big Dipper hangs upside down high in the northern sky, the last two bowl stars pointing down at Polaris, the North Star. Follow the arc of the dipper's handle to bright 4th place Arcturus high in the sky. Low in the NE sky is 5th placeVega. Absolute Brightness: Since these stars vary in distance from Earth, we only observe their apparent brightness. If we were to place all the visible stars at the same distance, 10 parseces, or about 32.6 light years from Earth, almost the distance to Arcturus, our Sun would barely be visible in the night sky. The winners would be Rigel and Betelguese in Orion when brought in from 1400 light years to 32.6 light years. They would both outshine Venus and often be visible during the daytime. Venus: By 6:15am, you should be able to see Venus glowing low in the Southeast sky; it disappears quickly in the dawn's early light. Mars sets soon after sunset in the southwest sky while Jupiter is high in the east after susnet. The Winter Hexagon with Orion standing upright inside is high in the south between 9 and 11pm. The two brightest stars in the night sky, Sirius and Canopus, are slmost exactl in the south at 10pm. Look for the brightest, Sirius, about half way from horizon to zenith. Almost directly beneath it, low in the south, you should spot Canopus, the second brightest star in the night sky. Iridium Flares: Los Cabos and Las Barriles areas will have bright flares 45 degrees above the NNWhorizon at 5:42:58am and 5:43:13am, respectively, on Monday morning, January 28. If you are awake in La Ventana/El Sargento at 5:37:28am on Tuesday, January 29, there will be the brightest flare of the year about half-way from the NNWhorizon to the zenith. Tom S

COMMUNITY MARKET  -  This Saturday, February 2nd

a.  Baja Biscuits will be at the Community Market this Saturday.   We will be grilling our full menu.  Down-home breakfast skillets, delicious breakfast bagels, quiche, homemade grilled sausage or pulled pork BBQ with coleslaw. Also we'll be bringing donuts, (apple fritters), walnut cinnamon rolls w/cream cheese frosting, and frozen sausage to take home. You are welcome to put in a special order before hand if you prefer. See our Dec. 11 post in the B.P.E. under "baja biz" for prices.  Thanks, Ace  612-149-3572

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

a.   A special thank you to all of the people of the Las Brisas area who donated funds to pay for the materials needed to fill the holes on the paved road to El Cardinal. Thank you to the citizens who stopped to donate funds while we were working on the road.
Most of all, a big thank you to these folks who volunteered their time: Rigo of Rigo Lucera Construction and his son, Moy. Charis Cota, Rigo Medina Mytoy
These folks worked hard from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 26th to fill these bad holes with gravel, tacking oil and black top. The holes and dangerous wash outs are now filled the best we could fill them from the little store Las Iguanas up to Elephant Tree Road. When the holes settle down there will be a re-packing of the black top. I believe you will not have to be dodging pot holes or wash outs now that were harming your vehicles. Thanks again to those of you who contributed to this project. Mike Kerr

b.  Baja One Answer:    Thanks to all who responded to my query:  places to  sleep and eat while driving the length of the peninsula.  The answers for hotels were:  Ensenada - Corona, El Rey Sol & ElCid;  San Quintin - Jardines Baja; El Rosario - Baja Cactus; Guerro Negro - Malarimos; San Ignacio - Ignacio Springs B & B;  Santa Rosalia - El Morro as well as some others  there and also for Loreto and Ciudad Constitution.  It is very nice to have suggestions from you all;  I'm sure I will have other requests for advice as we get closer to traveling.  Eleanor

c.  "Have you noticed how clean and litter-free the street-sides, arroyos, and beach is lately? 
We have two 'Super Daves' in the East Cape RV Park that have diligently gone out for several days and literally have picked up/plucked out of thorny brush (they've got the war-wounds to show for it),  mucho, mucho garbage and debris that has been carelessly discarded.  Super accolades to them for their fantastic volunteer efforts.  Their hope is that the community will be encouraged to 'get on board' and take part in keeping the beautiful village of Los Barriles even more charming than it already is."

b.  Slow Set Circuit Training for Strong Bones  Annalisa is leading a new and different type of bone building  /strength training class at the Yoga Center on Tuesdays and Fridays.  We are using the Super Slow approach to building muscle This method incorporates very slow repetition speeds as compared to traditional resistance training methods, with emphasis on minimizing acceleration to reduce the force the body is exposed to during exercise and improve muscular loading. Super Slow workouts typically consist of one set of each exercise carried out to complete muscle fatigue. This approach to building strength is appropriate for any fitness level because you will be lifting relatively light weights (about 6 to 10 pounds ) , but lifting them so slowly that you will go to muscle fatigue within a muscle AND strengthening bones.  If you have osteopenia, strength training twice a week is a must! No prior experience necessary.  AnnalisaV@gmail.com
