El Salvador War 80's

2011-08-31T03:46:00.000-07:00

this video was made by the communist radio and this was the way they spread their thought to all the ignorant and illiterate Salvadoreans.

This war in EL Salvador.... is the biggest scam ever portrayed by the reach to control and govern the world.

What they where fighting for?

Both sides were fighting in the name of other countries and with help of other countries....the real war was (U.S.A. - U.S.S.R) and communist saw the opportunity to lie to the people and convince them to fight to gain power.

Nowadays or Vice president who is a killer is now the Minister of Education!

The same guy that armed kids and women and send them to get killed at night!

FUCK POLITICS, RELIGION & IGNORANCE!!!!!

Good quote for my El Salvador reality!

LIFE ( The simplest of all things)

A boat docked in a tiny Salvadorean village. An American tourist complimented the fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.

"Not very long," answered the Fisherman.

"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.

The Salvadorean explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.

The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life."

The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."

"And after that?" asked the Salvadorean

"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."

"How long would that take?" asked the Salvadorean

"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American.

"And after that?"

"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"

"Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the Salvadorean.

"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."

And the moral of this story is: ..... Know where you're going in life... You may already be there !.

A little history on El Salvador

2011-06-26T16:34:00.000-07:00

The smallest and most densely populated nation in Central America sits at the edge of the Pacific Ocean between Guatemala and Honduras.

Beautiful beaches and a sizzling nightlife top the list of attractions.

Unlike some of its neighbors, El Salvador doesn't rely on ecotourism but instead emphasizes its dollar denominated economy, ease of getting around, and warm, welcoming people.

The highest point in El Salvador is Cerro El Pital (2,730 m).

El Salvador is known as the "land of volcanoes" or "valley of the Hammocks"

The Pipil Indians, descendants of the Aztecs, likely migrated to the region in the 11th century. In 1525, Pedro de Alvarado, a lieutenant of Hernan Cortés, conquered El Salvador.

Ancient Olmec scupltures have been found in Chalchuapa, in western El Salvador.

The Maya people were early inhabitants of El Salvador. They also lived in southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras.

The Maya were advanced in subjects such as mathematics and astronomy.

El Salvador is Spanish for The Saviour.

The Spanish arrived in El Salvador around 1520 and remained in the country for three centuries.

El Salvador, with the other countries of Central America, declared its independence from Spain on Sept. 15, 1821, and was part of a federation of Central American states until that union dissolved in 1838. For decades after its independence, El Salvador experienced numerous revolutions and wars against other Central American republics. From 1931 to 1979 El Salvador was ruled by a series of military dictatorships.

Jose Simeon Canas proposed the abolition of slavery in Central America (1823).

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ~.Steve Jobs.~

The Myths and Facts of Eco-Tourism

2011-06-08T18:26:00.000-07:00

Rethinking Tourism Project
Ecotours, adventure tours, sustainable tours, reality tours - if you are seeking a vacation alternative to Disneyland or Club Med, there are certainly plenty of options. However, how do you decide what is right for you, and what kind of vacation matches your values? Do you have to leave your social, political or environmental consciousness at home just to have a good time?

Tourism is the largest industry in the world. Like other major industries, it is mainly controlled by large transnational corporations, who profit at the expense of local communities and the environment.

In the 1980s, ecotourism emerged on the scene to meet the demands for more nature-based travel adventures. The World Tourism Organization defines ecotourism as a nature-based tourism in which the tourists observe and appreciate the natural environment and the traditional cultures within that environment in a sustainable manner. Sustainable tourism, a term often used interchangeably with ecotourism, emphasizes projects that protect natural resources and sustain the local community, both now and in the future. Ecotourism includes a mixed bag of projects, including mountain trekking tours, hikes in the rainforest and eco lodges, which in many cases are similar to mega-resorts.

For people who enjoy being outdoors and who are concerned about the environment, ecotourism may seem like a good option. Promotional materials use this perception effectively and, as a result, ecotourism is becoming increasingly popular. According to the World Tourism Organization, ecotourism has increased at six times the average rate of growth for the tourism industry. Yet while the demand and supply are growing, so are the concerns. Sustainability is not as simple as adding the phrase "eco." Ecotourism projects are often self-labeled by tour operators who have an interest in capitalizing on the expanding and profitable market. In many cases, there is little or no thought to environmental and social implications.

As a result, ecotourism has come under fierce attack by environmental, human rights and Indigenous Peoples organizations, who believe there has not been an adequate assessment of its environmental and social costs. Environmental abuses may include the depletion of local natural resources, waste mismanagement, an excess amount of tourists, and infrastructure development such as roads and airports - all of which result in irreversible destruction to land and wildlife. Social problems include displacing local people, offering only low paid unstable jobs and marketing Indigenous or rural people as 'attractions' with neither their consent nor an accompanied compensation. Other problems include the lack of community involvement and control in tourist projects, which are often developed and funded by large conservation NGOs.

As global citizens we need to be aware of the problems rooted in the tourism industry and make informed choices about what we do on our vacation time and where we spend our money. Deborah McLaren, author of Rethinking Tourism and Eco travel states that "Truly sustainable tourism must be locally controlled, limited and focus on local self-reliance for the local population." She offers the following suggestions:

Get involved in your own community so that when you travel you will have a reason to be involved in other communities and will stay involved.

Acknowledge the modern realities of Indigenous and rural communities and learn to respect, not romanticize other cultures.

Support responsible tourism organizations. Subscribe to their magazines and newsletters.
Volunteer.

Study.

Pressure large tourism companies to do more than green wash..

Organize a "reality tour" of your own community to examine environmental economic or social justice issues. Make activism a goal of the tour.

Contribute funds to support more integrated, diverse, critical tourism studies.

You may not be her first, her last, or her only.
She loved before she may love again.
But if she loves you now, what else matters?
She's not perfect, you aren't either,
and the two of you may never be perfect together
but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice,
and admit to being human and making mistakes,
hold onto her and give her the most you can.
She may not be thinking about you
every second of the day, but she will give you a part of
her that she knows you can break her heart.
So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze
and don't expect more than she can give.
Smile when she maked you happy,
let her know when she makes you mad,
and miss her when she's not there.

Are you longing to travel to an exotic place? El Salvador may be just for you. Be prepared, however, El Salvador is not the typical American tourist hideaway.

Not all Central American countries are equal. In 2007, I traveled to Costa Rica and saw a country flourishing in fabulous flora and fauna. I expected a similar experience when I visited El Salvador a year later. Instead, I witnessed a small country struggling for survival.
El Salvador is about the size of Massachusetts. With about six million inhabitants, it is the most densely populated country in Central America. About 90 percent are of mixed Indian and Spanish decent. Residents speak Spanish and most are Roman Catholics.

Because of many years of civil war, this country's economy and environment are in peril. Even though the fighting ended more than a decade ago, El Salvador still suffers from post war paranoia, pollution and poverty. An estimated 25 percent of the children are malnourished and 50 percent of residents are unemployed.

Stripped of natural resources, El Salvador is the second most deforested country in Latin America. Over 90 percent of the original tropical forest is gone, and the ecosystems are some of the most severely threatened on the planet. However, El Salvador is definitely worth saving. Superior surfing, considered as one of the best in the Pacific Ocean, is just one reason.

Ten of us traveled to El Salvador. My friend, Deb, and I (both non-surfers) happily filled last minute vacancies when the group coordinator needed two additional people to receive a discounted rate. El Salvador only has two tropical seasons -- dry (November-April) and wet (May-October) and four surfing seasons (segmented into months based on wave consistency and strength). We traveled in early December. Offering 4- to 6-foot waves, perfect conditions all day long and slightly cooler temperatures, this was the ideal time for our group of mostly novice surfers.

We stayed at Takuani Kal Hotel/Restaurant, a small (six room) tranquil retreat just north of La Libertad on Playa El Tunco. Takuani Kal's construction was inspired by the native culture of the Nahuats.

Stones, sculptures and mosaic steps complement the tropical landscape. Fishponds and water cascades surround the infinity pool. Descendants of the ancient tribe provide ceremonial baths. Their pre-Columbian healing treatments take place in the Temascal, a dome-shaped Mayan sauna.

Yet, armed guards protected the mini paradise 24 hours a day. The fence surrounding our refuge had shards of broken glass imbedded in the top to keep intruders out. For some reason, there was a machete lying against the door in our room. (We never did learn its purpose.) Takuani Kal was safe, but we heeded warnings to proceed with caution beyond its perimeters (especially at night). Enjoying the artwork, watching the rest of the group ride the waves and experiencing spiritual bliss was amazing. After a couple of days, however, we wanted to explore.

Our first of only two trips beyond the safety of Takuani Kal was to an Internet café about a block away. We brought only our drivers' licenses for identification and a couple of bucks to buy time to check e-mail, leaving our passports behind. Those documents were too important to have stolen.

The short midday excursion broadened our knowledge. Branded cattle roamed the roadways. Peasants burned wood for fuel and laundered clothing in the river. Homes were simple, with hammocks strung from the ceilings. Children peddled wares and begged for donations. Dogs scrounged scraps. The sights saddened my soul, but we felt surprisingly safe.

We passed a hostel, small outdoor markets and several surfers. A public park prepared to provide music and street vendors cooked pupusas (Salvadoran stuffed flatbread, similar to corn tortillas, only thicker and stuffed with cheese, beans or meat). Reluctantly, we returned to Takuani Kal, afraid to partake.

With our confidence raised, we booked a tour with Quiver Surf, a company specializing in creating safe excursions for tourists. Even though I was apprehensive, once we met Cebolla Mendez -- our guide and owner of Quiver Surf -- his wealth of information became my focus. Mendez, a native Salvadorian, avid surfer and middle class business owner, enthusiastically expressed his desire to bring about positive change in El Salvador.

El Boquerón National Park was one of our destinations. The park is located inside the crater of San Salvador Volcano, which is part of a volcanic chain. It is home to local wildlife, rarely seen because of over-hunting. Guard and handrails, designated walking paths and security are in place to attract and protect tourists. The park's posted rules and regulations are enforced. Until recently, safety precautions were almost nonexistent.

We learned the volcano absorbs rainwater like a sponge. The park has open reservoirs to store water for human consumption during times of drought. Mendez was proud of this park; it is a symbol of his government's effort to preserve the land and encourage tourism.

We ate lunch at Cafe del Volcan, located on the road to Boquerón. The restaurant began as an experiment by owners of a plantation when coffee prices were low. They built their café in a mountain forest near the volcano and created a native garden. Their goal was to attract foreign visitors. It worked. While we ate, a group of locals celebrated a special occasion in style. Mendez was excited to share the beautiful surroundings.

By the end of the day, we had met his American fiancée, Monica, discussed religion and politics, and exchanged stories about our completely different lifestyles. He wanted to help me share this story.

Entrepreneurs, who take risks and support counter-violence efforts, help build the tourism industry. Agriculture, tourism and the development of sustainable coffee farms could be the key to this country's successful future. The Rainforest Alliance (a nonprofit organization) works with SalvaNATURA, the leading environmental organization in El Salvador, and members of the Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) to teach farmers about biodiversity. The Web site: www.rainforest-alliance.org/locations/el-salvador/index.html, states, "Sustainable coffee can support nearly the same biodiversity as primary forest."

Biodiesel (an organic fuel made from plant oil) production began when a pilot plant was built in 2006. The goal was to provide clean renewable energy, create jobs and boost the agriculture sector.

El Salvador is a country in recovery. The conflicts from their past are slowly evolving into a commitment for peace. Citizens, like Mendez, work towards building a strong economy and sound environment. El Salvadorian leaders are building strong ties with foreign countries. In 2001, the United States dollar became their currency.

Today, the country lacks luxuries the average tourist seeks. However, El Salvador offers diverse geography, incredible surfing and breathtaking sunsets. Opportunities to experience a true third world lifestyle are rare. I am thankful for my visit.

In the courtyard at Takuani Kal stands a monument with a crucial global message/warning. It states, "When we show our respect for other living things, they respond with respect for us."

I returned home eager to spread those words of wisdom. §

RAGE AGAINST THE INVASION

More than one surfer on the same wave is potential disaster
as these surfers at Rocky Point on Oahu will find out.

Championship surfer Nat Young
exposes the dark side of surfing
in his new book 'Surf Rage'

By Tim Ryan
Star-Bulletin

SEVERAL years ago in the surf off Diamond Head, a visiting Brazilian dropped in front of a professional surfer known for his short temper.

The Brazilian fell on the local man who promptly snapped off the fins of the offender's board, then started to throw a punch before someone yelled that such action is assault. The angry surfer then ordered the Brazilian out of the water, yelling racist remarks.

Road rage, office rage, now surf rage is the subject of an anthology by former four-time world champion surfer Australian Nat Young following his brutal beating last year, which required seven hours of facial reconstructive surgery. Young, who is in Hawaii for book signings Saturday, calls war in the surf "nothing new."

In 1995, local professional surfer Lance Hookano was found guilty of battery and assault for attacking a body boarder in Malibu surf a year earlier. Along with another defendant, Hookano was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to perform 300 hours of community service.
At Chun's Reef in 1997, professional surfer Johnny Boy Gomes broke the nose of another surfer when he punched him.

"Surf rage has existed for a long, long time," said Young, 53. "But no one has wanted to expose the dirty underside of what's supposed to be a very glamorous sport."
Young was attacked at his home break at Angourie Beach in New South Wales, Australia, suffering two broken eye sockets, cracked cheekbones and sinuses that no longer work the way they should. But Young, known worldwide for his own aggression, ego and ambition, admits he had a hand in provoking the attack when he slapped the face of the son of a rival surfer for "bad behavior." When Young left the water, the father attacked.

"I was wrong; I shouldn't have done what I did," Young says. "But no one deserves a beating for such an action. There are other ways to handle anger."

A young man shows the consequence of surf rage

after a surfer incident in Australia.
There's the surfer sent to jail for assault with a deadly weapon when he attacked another surfer with the fins of his surfboard, and another tale about a group of young surfers arrested for stoning an older man who paddled out at their home break on his long board.

While most of the pieces name names, the chapter "Localism in Hawaii" written by Carol Anne Philips, a professional bodyboarder, doesn't name some of the local surfers involved in surf rage "out of respect for them and their careers," she said.

"But if you've heard the stories already, just do the math and you'll know who I'm talking about," said Philips, 34, who interviewed several surfers about incidents here, including:

A "local heavy" takes off in front of a "haole" surfer causing both men to wipe out. The local surfer rips the fins off the other guy's board, then dunks him "30 times," nearly drowning him;
A "heavy local" hires some guy named "Alvin" to beat up Australian surfer Ian Cairns over comments he made about Hawaii in an Australian surfing magazine;
During the 1970s Australian invasion of the North Shore, Aussies reportedly had to hire personal bodyguards to be able to surf in contests;
Australian surfing star Jodie Cooper gets slapped in the face recently after criticizing a local surfer for trying to hit someone with his surfboard.

"The reason for surf rage is simple to understand like it is for road rage," Young said. "It's overcrowding, but it has to be dealt with by every surfer if they want to continue surfing. The solution is to understand that anger in itself is not a bad thing, but knowing that violence and aggression are totally unacceptable."

There are several ways surfers can take control of their rage or that of others.

"We all need to do something within ourselves," Young said. "If something going on in the water really pisses you off, then get out. Take control."

The outcome of overcrowding.

The time he spent writing the book was therapy for Young. He enjoined Derek Rielly, an Australian surf journalist who had written about "Surf Rage" in 1989 when he was editor of Australian Surfing Life magazine.
The pair drew up a short list of surfing writers to contribute chapters, including Drew Kamplon, an elder statesman of sorts of surf journalism, surfer Nick Carroll who's been editor of numerous surfing magazines in Australia and the United States; Gunter Swoboda, a surfing psychologist; and Gordon Stammers, an attorney with the Victorian State Governments Justice Department.
The prime motivation in writing the book was "to turn a negative into a positive," and to confront that surf rage exists worldwide.
"What really (angers) me about many major surfing sponsors is they support stars who are often involved in surf rage," he said. "You need to make people within the surfing fraternity feel that this is unacceptable behavior.
"Even the ones involved in publicized surf rage incidents like Lance and Johnny Boy must feel pretty alone and crappy about what happened, considering the problems it caused them personally," Young said. "That sort of anger won't get you anywhere in the long run."

Young believes competition in surfing creates an aggressive environment.

"I know that's ironic for me to say, someone who has benefited tremendously from competition, but it's taken me a long time to understand it," he said.

Perhaps the biggest effect of Young's beating is his decision to leave Australia in December with his wife and children to reside in Sun Valley, Idaho. Young says media reports of his beating unfairly placed a large part of the responsibility on him. He's also tired of what he believes is the Australian media's attempts "to cut someone down who has made a success of himself."

"It's one of the things about Australia I hate," said Young, a successful book publisher and hotel owner. "We've done it with Greg Norman and our great swimmers."

Young will continue to surf on "those occasional odd" trips to Hawaii and Costa Rica, but said more of his time will be spent snowboarding which he can do as a family activity.

"America is far less aggressive and hateful than Australia," he said.
