Hurricane Patricia-Dance to Lower the Rain
I believe this beautiful dance helped spared the beautiful town of Puerto Vallarta from a direct hit to the relief of many but farther south people did suffer and they will need our help.
Thank You to the Positive Energies of the Universe that hurt the prayers of the people.
Danzantes bajo la lluvia.
Con mi devoción danzare bajo la lluvia, golpeare la tierra con mis pies y salpicara el agua por doquier. Con mi Fé lucharé y pediré que disminuya la intensidad de tu fuerza, pues mi Dios es el más poderoso, sin embargo entenderé que soy el único responsable y que nuestra madre naturaleza esta despertando mientras nosotros seguimos en el letargo del sueño de la inconsciencia.
Protege tu pueblo Señor.
Here is the Google translation
Danzantes the rain.
With my devotion danzare the rain,the earth beat you with my feet and splashed water everywhere. With my faith I will fight and ask to decrease the intensity of your strength , because my God is the most powerful , yet I understand that I am solely responsible and that our Mother Nature is awakening as we continue into the lethargy of sleep of unconsciousness.
Protect your people Lord.

Hurricane Patricia Heading for Mexico- Take Cover!
Here are the key messages from NHC regarding an extremely dangerous and potentially catastrophic Hurricane Patricia, as of 10 p.m. CDT Thursday, Oct. 22nd. www.hurricanes.gov
From Weather.com
http://www.weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/hurricane-patricia-mexico-coast?cm_ven=Facebook_TheWeatherChannel_Weather_CWi_Article_No_1_20151023_twcplayer
An extremely dangerous and potentially catastrophic Hurricane Patricia has reached Category 5 intensity on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Satellite images indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 160 mph (260 km/h) with higher gusts. While Patricia is expected to weaken some on Friday, it is expected to remain an extremely dangerous hurricane through landfall.
A Hurricane Warning continues from San Blas to Punta San Telmo, and a Hurricane Watch and Tropical Storm Warning from east of Punta San Telmo to Lazaro Cardenas. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion tonight.
Patricia is centered about 200 miles (320 km) southwest of Manzanillo,
Mexico, moving toward the north-northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h). A turn
toward the north is expected by early Friday, followed by a turn toward
the north-northeast Friday afternoon. On the forecast track the core of
Patricia will make landfall in the hurricane warning area during Friday
afternoon or evening.

Philo is Singing and Dancing with the angels now! R.I.P
From the Vallarta Daily
Philo of Philos Bar in La Cruz passes away over the weekend http://www.philosbar.com/
http://www.vallartadaily.com/news/puerto-vallarta/philo-of-philos-bar-in-la-cruz-passes-away-over-the-weekend/
I never met Philo but I see that he touched many hearts with his kindness, generousity and music. It's obvious he had a deep love of life and lived it to the fullest. May you RIP and play music with the angels now. You are missed by many!
From Youtube:Uploaded on Oct 13, 2010
"Philo and the Mexican Shuffle Band. This one is called "I've been Dreaming About Mexico." A song that I wrote in Fiji when I was out sailing in the South Pacific. Friends, friends and more friends in this one. This is the video that I asked everyone to send me their favorite pics of themselves hanging out in Mexico. Some good stuff here folks. I hope you enjoy."
--------------------------------------
I was just looking through his channel. I started to listen to this song and it made me cry! He was obviously a very special person. I wish I had been his friend. Those that were, were very blessed.
My deepest condolensces to his sister, who from what I saw posted just lost her husband and now her brother. Sending love and light to you during this difficult time.
If you are feeling sad, listen to this, he definitely left a great message for all!!!
"Sing and Dance all night long!!"
I put a little clip from his last blog post which is from last year. Nov 14th.
http://philosblog.tumblr.com/
"Music every where, all kinds of things and events are happening right now. We are in the height of the high season and although it sure is hectic it is also a lot of fun. The Bucerius group Manos de Amore just had their annual “Rhythm and Ribs” concert and it was a huge success.
The benefit was for the orphanage in Bucerias.
Lots of restaurants participated and Philo’s Music Studio, Restaurant, Bar, cooked the ribs and we ran out in the first hour.
We started with 100 kilos and next year we will be prepared to do two or three times that much. Luna Rumba provide the music and I heard nothing but awesome things about their show. Congrats everyone. Check out Manos de Amore’s web site about the Bucerias orphanage. Click here. http://www.manosdeamor.com/fund_raising_photos.htm

Tornado seen in Zipolite, Mazunte, Puerto Angel Area
Redacción El Piñero
Oaxaca, México; 13 de agosto, 2015. —Este
jueves, mediante redes sociales, residentes de Mazunte y Zipolite,
ubicados en el municipio de Santa María Tonameca, en la región de la
Costa, reportaron un mini tornado, el cual causó temor y alerta, toda
vez que su presencia fue mayúscula.
Captado por la lente de celulares y
cámaras, el mini tornado de inmediato tomó presencia en las redes
sociales, donde se comentó ampliamente el suceso que, a decir de
autoridades, no causó daños mayores.
Para Protección Civil de aquella zona,
el fenómeno se trató de una turbonada. No obstante, para la población
fue un mini tornado por la forma de remolina que tomó la fuerza del
viento, combinada con agua.
De momento, reportan, no hay registro de personas lesionadas, pero sí de tensión y alarma entre las corporaciones de seguridad. http://www.elpinerodelacuenca.com.mx/epc/index.php/oaxaca/99739-2015-08-13-16-15-43

Pina Palmera- Zipolite-Video-We Live to Grow!
Just came across this wonderful video about the Pina Palmera in Zipolite. It's a great video full of examples and explanations of the type of work they do and the people they help.
It was so nice to see Malena and Marciano and all the other who work at Pina Palmera.
We have visited a few times but mostly we know the people from just being in Zipolite and seeing them out and about. Many people volunteer at Pina Palmera and we have met them.
When I nearly broke my wrist I was so fortunate as I went there and they helped me with a brace and massage. I would have been in serious trouble if they hadn't been as kind as they were.
This is a great video and I hope you will share it.

I don't understand all of it but she's asking for them to include the indigenous people in the government decisions, I believe. Just waiting to get some help with the translate. Will add more in a bit.

Zipolite - Verde Ir-Er Sostenible-UNITE!

Lo siento si esto no se traduce correctamente, por favor visite este enlace y alguien que lo haga correctamente. Gracias http://adventurezinmexico.blogspot.ca/2014/02/zipolite-go-green-be-sustainable-unite.html
Hola, ha llegado a mi atención que hay que hablar del gobierno de Oaxaca o?? va
a intentar cambiar la tierra en Zipolite del Ejido
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejido a dejar a la gente tener hechos a sus
tierras así lo pueden vender.
Sólo quiero asegurarme de que la gente de Zipolite comprende las ramificaciones de este completa. Bucerias es un buen ejemplo. Para 20 + visité Bucerias. En
primer lugar es era sólo una pequeña ciudad con pequeños hoteles que
podrías alquilar una habitación con una cocina para $12Cdn noche. Eso fue en 1988.
Desde entonces lo he visto cambiar enormemente. Me quedé allí en 2001 cuando estaba embarazada de mi hija. Vivía al otro lado de la carretera muy ruidosa con los mexicanos más pobres. Fue humillante por decir lo menos. Abajo
en el paseo marítimo, un hombre de negocios astuto había construido
hermosas casas de millones de dólares a lo largo de él y venderlas a
adinerados americanos y canadienses.
Ahora no hay nada de alquiler menos de $50 una noche y te imaginas el costo de vida allí.
Esto sucederá a Zipolite. Los más pudientes de otros lugares, ciudad de Oaxaca, Mexico City, Canadá, Estados Unidos avancen y comprar todos los muelles. Las
personas que viven allí se desplazará, o se mueva a otro lugar y se da
cuenta del alto costo de vida o que sólo se moverán hacia atrás y hacer
frente a los mayores costos de vida en su ciudad natal donde ellos
nacidos y se criaron.
Esto es lo que sucede en Vancouver. Muchos hogares comienzan en $1 millón. Es el riduclous. Yo
nací y me crié aquí en BC y hay una oportunidad nunca poseerá un hogar
porque es imposible levantar esta cantidad de dinero en mi vida. La razón es Canadá - BC - o Vancouver en realidad no hizo cualquier política para asegurar que esto no podía suceder. Vancouver tiene una tasa muy alta de personas sin hogar. Muchos de ustedes no tienen ninguna idea sobre esto. Te enteraste cosas maravillosas. La pobreza infantil es mayor en BC. Es una locura que en un país tan rico piense que esto no existiría. MAL!!
Muchas
de las casas que pertenecen aquí... los que cuestan $1.000.000 son
propiedad de extranjeros, muchos de ellos de China/Hong Kong... ricos de
otros países, aquí estos comprar casa y ni siquiera vivo en ellos. Los usan como casas de vacaciones y un lugar para guardar dinero allí.son inversiones. Pero esto sólo desplazados. No hay ninguna vivienda, alquileres comienzan en unos 900 dólares por un apartamento de un dormitorio. El
gobierno tuvo que crear subsidios para los ancianos y los padres
solteros porque no hay ninguna manera de ganar esa cantidad de dinero en
los salarios disponibles y los alquileres son tan altos.
Esto sucedió en Nelson y muchos otros lugares. Esto sucederá en ZIPOLITE!!
Ahora
lo que dices acerca de la gente de Zipolite, no merecen una vida
agradable con todas las cosas materiales que cuenta con todos los demás.
Los televisores, automóviles, piscinas... alimentos para sus familias, casas de gran lujo, no merecen eso.
La pregunta es-¿qué dará para arriba?
Ya vives en el paraíso!
¿Por qué crees que la gente viene aquí y ¿por qué crees que quieren comprar esa tierra.
Tengo algunas sugerencias. Uno es realmente pensar acerca de lo que más valoran. ¿Es tu familia? Porque eso es lo que he notado y gustaba de Zipolite es cuánto se aman y Cuánto aprecias familia. Muchos de ustedes son pobres pero tu sonriente y vas a tu vida de una manera sencilla. Estas
formas sencillas son la pesca en el océano, construyendo casas de
palapa elevar su propia comida como pollos, frutas, cocos, etc.. Sí,
entiendo que es difícil, pero si te rindes y te vendes se verá forzado
de su océano, y será una vida mucho más difícil y una vida mucho más
materialista.
Y esta vida materialista es lo que está matando al mundo. Es
que causan todas las tormentas malas y envenenamiento por los océanos,
talando los bosques hermosos y exterminar a los animales y los pueblos
indígenas que a la izquierda.
Mi sugerencia es que mantenga su tierra. QUÉDATE EJIDO. NUNCA TE RINDAS! PORQUE COMO UNA UNIDAD ES UNA FUERZA PODEROSA. PERMANECER UNIDOS!!
Y como la fuerza que unió a adaptar métodos que dará soporte a todos juntos. Mira en fuentes alternativas de apoyo. Mira por ejemplo
-solar y fuentes de energía del viento
-jardines
de la cama elevada para alimentos - crean jardines de bosques
comunitarios de alimentos donde tienes comida para todos en la
comunidad.
-compostaje - allí son maneras mucho mejores de lo que hacen en Piña Palmera
-Casas cob. Construir estos - pueden soportar terremotos y huracanes
-popbottle verde casas - puedes empezar las semillas en ellos y esto ayudará en el crecimiento de los jardines.
Debe
unirse en esto, o se desgarrará separados y sus hijos nunca será capaces
de pagar una casa en Zipolite, digamos quién sabe dónde y que van a
terminar trabajando para los dueños del hotel que ahora estará ubicado
frente a la playa una vez tuviste. Ellos
trabajarán para los salarios mínimos y su calidad de vida serán pobre
porque no será capaz de pagar nada por el altísimo costo de vida. ¿Eres muy bendecidos. Usted puede unir con los medios sociales. Juntos tienes una voz fuerte. Esta oportunidad existe para ti. Agarran el momento porque una vez que se cambia la voluntad debe ser sin retorno!!
Aquí están algunos enlaces a ejemplos que estoy sugiriendo. Hay muchas personas que le ayudarán con esto. Debe unirse y actuar y pedir esta ayuda. Pedir que queda verde y comunidad.
Jardines de cama elevada
Jardines comunitarios
Energía solar para pequeñas comunidades
Cómo construir una lámpara Solar botella
Popbottle invernaderos
Cómo
construir un vaso de Compost - esto es una muy buena idea mantener
vuela lejos y girar las hojas, frutos y otros materiales a la rica
tierra negra en 6 semanas. Tiene el clima perfecto para esto. Puedes hacer dinero vendiendo composta.
Amo a Zipolite y sé que es muy difícil sobrevivir esperando al turista. Olvidar el turismo, se centran en ser verde y sostenible. Puede establecer un ejemplo para todo México.
En una nota lateral estoy intentando ayudar a... Estoy
trabajando en una aplicación y será para el pequeño, no los grandes
hoteles de lujo que van ahí en y carga $80 a $100 una noche. No mi aplicación será un listado de todos los pequeños lugares en la playa. Estoy trabajando en esto ahora, estoy en la escuela y espero que producir la primera versión antes de Semana Santa. Estoy haciendo mi mejor para ayudarle en todos los frentes.
Así que por favor si puedes imprimirlo y compartirlo y tener reuniones y crear una página de Facebook y hablar uno al otro. Haz Unido porque es la única manera... si no veo un futuro muy triste de Zipolite. De
grandes grandes hoteles propiedad de personas de otros países y todas
las cosas que nosotros conocemos y amamos de Zipolite se convertirá en
una cosa del pasado. Historia. Ido... pero no olvidado. No dejes que esto suceda. Por favor!!!!
Zipolite - GO GREEN-BE SUSTAINABLE- UNITE!!!

Hola, It has come to my attention that there is talk of the government of Oaxaca or ?? is going to try to change the land in Zipolite from Ejido http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejido to letting the people have deeds to their land so they can sell it.
I just want to make sure the people of Zipolite understand the full ramifications of this. Bucerias is a good example. For 20+ I visited Bucerias. At first is was just a small town with little hotels that you could rent a room with a kitchen for $12Cdn a night. That was in 1988.

Now there is nothing to rent less than $50 a night and you can imagine the cost of living there.
This will happen to Zipolite. Wealthy people from other places, Oaxaca City, Mexico City, Canada, United States will move in and buy up all the waterfront. The people that live there will be displaced, either they will move somewhere else and realize the high cost of living or they will just move to the back and be faced with the higher and higher costs of living in their home town where they were born and raised.
This is what is happening in Vancouver. Many homes start at $1 million. It's riduclous. I was born and raised here in BC and there is a chance I will never own a home because it is just impossible to raise this kind of money in my lifetime. The reason is that Canada- BC- or Vancouver for that matter did not make any policies to ensure this could not happen. Vancouver has a very high homeless rate. Many of you have no idea about this. You hear wonderful things about it. Child poverty is highest in BC. It's crazy that in such a wealthy country you would think this would not exist. WRONG!!
Many of the homes that are owned here...the ones that cost $1,000,000 are owned by foreigners, many from China/Hong Kong...wealthy people from other countries, come here buy these home and don't even live in them. They use them as vacation homes and a place to keep there money..they are investments. But this just displaced people. There is no affordable housing, rents start at about $900 for a one bedroom apartment. The government had to create subsidies for the older people and single parents because there is just no way to earn that kind of money on the wages available and because the rents are so high.
This happened in Nelson and many other places. This WILL HAPPEN IN ZIPOLITE!!
Now you will say what about the people of Zipolite, don't they deserve a nice life with all the material things that everyone else has. The televisions, cars, swimming pools...food for their families, big fancy houses, don't they deserve that.
The question is -What will you give up?
You ALREADY LIVE IN PARADISE!!
Why do you think people come there and why do you think they want to buy that land.
I have some suggestions. One is to really think about what you value most. Is it your family? Because that is what I have noticed and loved about Zipolite is how much you love each other and how much you value family. Many of you are poor but your smiling and you go about your life in a simple way. These simple ways are fishing in the ocean, building palapa homes, raising your own food such as chickens, fruit, coconuts etc. Yes I understand it is hard, but if you give in and you sell you will be forced away from your ocean, and it will be a much harder life and a much more materialistic life.
And this materialistic life is what is killing the world. It's causing all the bad storms and poisoning the oceans, cutting down the beautiful forests and exterminating the animals and indigenous people that a left.
My suggestion is to :
KEEP YOUR LAND. STAY EJIDO.
NEVER GIVE THAT UP!
BECAUSE AS A UNIT YOU ARE A MIGHTY FORCE.
STAY UNITED!!
And as that united force adapt methods that will support everyone together. Look into alternative sources of support. For example look at
-solar and wind power sources
-raised bed gardens for food- create food forests-community gardens where you raise food for everyone in the community.
-composting- there are much better ways than what they do at Pina Palmera
-Cob houses. Build these - they can withstand earthquakes and hurricanes
-popbottle green houses - you can start the seeds in them and this will aid in the growing the gardens.
You must unite on this, or you will be torn apart and your children will never be able to afford a home in Zipolite, let alone who knows where and they will end up working for people who own the hotel that will now be located on the beachfront you once owned. They will work for minimum wages and their quality of life will be poor because will not be able to afford anything due to the very high cost of living. You are so very very blessed. You can unite with social media. Together you can have a strong voice. This opportunity exists for you. You must sieze the moment because once it changes there will be NO RETURN!!
Here are some links to examples I am suggesting. There are many people who will help you with this. You must unite and take action and ask for this help. Ask to stay green and stay community.

How to build a Compost Tumbler- this is a very good idea and will keep flies away and turn the leaves, fruit and other materials to rich black earth in 6 weeks. You have the perfect climate for this. You could make money selling compost.
http://www.theinnovationdiaries.com/1775/how-to-make-a-compost-tumbler/
I love Zipolite and I know it is very hard to survive waiting for the tourist. Forget the tourism, focus on becoming green and sustainable. You could set an example for all of Mexico.
On a side note I am trying to help... I am working on an app and it will be for the little guy, not the big fancy hotels that are going in there and charge $80 to $100 a night. No my app will be a listing of all the little places on the beach. I am working on this now, I am in school and I hope to produce the first version before Semana Santa. So I am doing my best to help you on all fronts.
So please if you can print this and share it and have meetings and create a Facebook page and talk to each other. Get united because it is the only way...otherwise I see a very sad future of Zipolite. Of great big hotels owned by people from other countries and all the things that we know and love about Zipolite will become a thing of the past. History. Gone...but not forgotten. Don't let this happen. Please!!

How to build a Compost Tumbler- this is a very good idea and will keep flies away and turn the leaves, fruit and other materials to rich black earth in 6 weeks. You have the perfect climate for this. You could make money selling compost.

I love Zipolite and I know it is very hard to survive waiting for the tourist. Forget the tourism, focus on becoming green and sustainable. You could set an example for all of Mexico.
On a side note I am trying to help... I am working on an app and it will be for the little guy, not the big fancy hotels that are going in there and charge $80 to $100 a night. No my app will be a listing of all the little places on the beach. I am working on this now, I am in school and I hope to produce the first version before Semana Santa. So I am doing my best to help you on all fronts.
So please if you can print this and share it and have meetings and create a Facebook page and talk to each other. Get united because it is the only way...otherwise I see a very sad future of Zipolite. Of great big hotels owned by people from other countries and all the things that we know and love about Zipolite will become a thing of the past. History. Gone...but not forgotten. Don't let this happen. Please!!
