Aries, the first sign of spring, holds the force of creation

April is the month and time of Aries, a beam of sunlight or force, a flame of Cosmic Fire. Aries is the individual expressing as an initiating impulse searching for identity and individuality within the masses. Aries is the seed pushing forth the two leaves (they look like ram’s horns), emerging from the earth at the first light of Spring.

Aries is often unconscious about life beyond his own immediate perceptions, and unaware of consequences. With this unawareness Aries judges everything through his own young projections. Aries, the first sign of spring, holds the force of creation. However, his impatience doesn’t allow time to bring the creative force into a practical focus. Thus Aries is often unable to complete tasks and projects. These are handed to Taurus for completion.

The idea for Al Forno Pizza/Calzone Restaurant was conceived in Italy. While there, Mazatlecan Rosy Pineda and her Italian-born husband, Gianluca Testi, thought that bringing a part of Italy to Mazatlán would be a good business move. Rosy knew the pizza delivery business was a good concept, but also wanted a restaurant. So Al Forno’s outside patio has tables and everything is available to-go as well. Rosy is confident the Marina area and north will continue to grow with more businesses and people.

There’s a big selection of delicious wood-fired pizzas to choose from, and prices start at $89 pesos. The House Special is loaded with ham, salami, peppers, mushrooms and black olives. Rosy plans on adding salads to the menu in the near future. Is it lunchtime yet? Info: 669-913-5050. Delivery in the area is free.

Inside your computer, heat can be a problem

I am getting ready to leave for the Summer. How can I protect my computer while I am gone?

It's all about storage. To store your computer properly, you will need to buy a couple of items. First, go to any of the plastics stores and buy one of the large, thick, clear plastic bags. Get one larger than your computer. Next, go to any store and buy a box of disposable diapers. Yes, diapers.

Mini-matadors take the arena for a mini-bullfight

Somewhere around the middle of January, during my darkest days of post-holiday stress disorder, my research assistant suggested we attend a cultural sporting event. When she asked to go to the bull ring to buy tickets, I began to get apprehensive: Was she buying tickets to a bullfight? Don’t get me wrong - I like my steaks rare. It’s just the thought of watching my favorite food source being skewered for sport might upset the delicate balance of my psyche.
