Cinco de Mayo Poker Run: Meet at Smokey’s at 10:00 a.m. on Monday May 5th. The 45-mile run will begin at 10:30. It’s not too technical but there are a couple areas on the power line trail (100 meters each) that are a bit rocky and may require intermediate level riders. Refreshments will be available at all card stops for a nominal fee for those suffering from parched pieholes. Maps, rules & regs are now available at Smokey’s. The cost is $200 pesos which includes your poker ante and dinner of three tacos (fish and carne asada), rice & beans. For couples playing one hand, the cost is $300 pesos. Pre-registration for the ride is advised if you can get your backside over to Smokey’s sometime this weekend. FYI, If you don’t want to ride but still want to celebrate 5 de Mayo, please join us at Smokey’s around 5:00 p.m. for $35 margaritas, $20 cervezas and $25 tacos. Hope to see you this Cinco de Mayo!

East Cape Recycling Baja sends a HUGE thank you to the wonderful volunteers who cleaned the beaches following Semana Santa. There were six huge 1 meter cement bags filled with recyclables waiting for us on Recycle Day. This was a really big clean-up job and we thank you for taking the initiative, and want you to know how much we appreciate for your anonymous effort. And additional thanks goes to the volunteers who helped on Recycle Day to crush and sort all of these recyclables. All of these conscientious people are heros in our community, working to protect our fabulous environment. You are terrific. Thank you so much for all you do. The Recycling Comadres

Warning
About 2 months ago I sold an old car to a gringo. I sold this car without title. It seems he tried to import it then and get local plates. It seems it is illegal to sell any vehicle (trailers, atv’s, motos etc) without proper ownership papers. This has become a huge hassle for me as I now face criminal/civil charges( I can’t prove it wasn’t stolen before). My attorney says that one should always get a ‘notorized’ statement from the buyer that they did infact did get a title/ownership papers to the vehicle when sold.

ALERT TO ALL NEIGHBORS IN BUENAS AIRES
     Someone is spreading poison illegally and indiscriminately in this area and dogs and other animals are dying as a result. Please keep your pets with you at all times and be extremely vigilant with little children! The latest pet death occurred this past Friday within 20 minutes of exhibiting symptoms. Symptoms included a choking like cough (trying to cough something up), foaming at the mouth, trouble breathing, and convulsions. The dog was necropsied and the vet stated with 90% certainty that the dog died from anti-freeze poisoning. Dogs have not been the only victims – foxes and other animals have also been found dead.
     This is a very serious situation for everyone here whether you have a pet or not. Most people have family come to visit, sometimes with pets and many times with little children who are fond of picking up anything they find on the ground and putting it in their mouth. Please remain vigilant and be aware. If you know of or suspect poisoning of an animal, please send information to bajabuenosaires@gmail.com.

Security Update – Microsoft has just issued a security update to fix the very serious flaw in Internet Explorer. It is being pushed out to all Microsoft Operating Systems including Windows XP. The update requires a restart!!! This update was a significant change in policy by Microsoft to make one final update to Windows XP. Microsoft plans no future updates to XP.

Iphone users – The latest update to your Iphone is available for download and install – IOS7.1. There are some notable improvements. Here is a link to the new features: www.apple.com/ios/ . Some Iphone users that applied the new IOS have reported a negative effect on battery life. If your battery life is unaffected, skip the rest of this segment. A “reset” of the phone seems to help if you have issues. Hold down the home “button” and the “off” button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. When you see the Apple logo, release everything. Well, okay, hold onto the phone especially if you over a tile floor. That same update is available for the Ipad. I didn’t see that much to make me upgrade the Ipad.

Net Neutrality – Net Neutrality is a policy that treats every byte of information on the web equally. The current FCC Chairman has decided to allow internet service providers to charge different amounts for different content providers ending Net Neutrality. What does that mean for you? Netfix is being charged a premium by Comcast to provide content to you, the end user. You already pay for access to the internet but now the providers can charge both ends. Netflix just raised their rates to new customers.

Uber – Uber is a mobile app that allows you to access Private Cab Services at numerous locations around the world. Very popular and generally half the cost of a commercial cab. The App pays the driver, no money is exchanged and the tip is built-in.

Something readers might like to know...

To get the refund of the Mexican tourism tax from Spirit Airlines, follow these instructions:

1. Go to: http://spirit.zendesk.com/anonymous_requests/new
2. Fill out the form there accurately, and with the same information that would match your purchase(s) with Spirit Airlines.
3. As an example description: "On my return flight from San Diego, USA to Los Cabos, Mexico I was charged a MX-Tourism Tax of $23.16. As an official resident of Mexico (like a Mexican National) this charge should be refunded. Attached is a copy of my residency card."
4. Attach a photo of the front of your residency card showing name that matches the ticket purchased. (The place to attach a file is the little blue link right at the bottom before the Submit button.)

This is a tax that is being forwarded on to Mexico so getting it refunded is no skin off of Spirit's nose. They probably like the fact that it makes their tickets even that much lower priced than the competition. My request was processed within a day or two, and the refund came within 5-7 business days.

b.  The following reduced in Quebec Canada 50% if not more of the bbusiness and house breakings:
Law requires that in a business the lights are left on; one who leaves his house leaves lights on, (using timers so that they change every makes it more efficiant) and a radio or TV loud enough to be heard by the door(s) or window(s). Today one can purchase camaras and connect them to a computor, either by cable or via a signal so as to have proof of who broke in.
     In the event that you did suffer a break-in, the important thing is proof and denunciation:
A) if there are foot prints take picture, do not touch the area were the uninvited guest came in so that finger prints can be taken, do not move anything which was displaced. Call your insurance you will need a police report to file a claim.
B) Go to the Ministerio Publico office: Los Barriles residents: the office is on the side of Los Barriles delegation. If he is not there then ask the city police when will he be back and also tell the officer to reach the State police (MINISTERIAL) who are the one who is responsible for that type of crime. In Buena Vista and Spa buena vista ask the city police where it is....
C) When you are ready to make a declaration you must have with you a translator who can be anyone who can translate in spanish. If you have any proof present them at that time.
D) Once the denunciation is filed you must keep tapping the ministerio publico door...
