3 A Grito Pelado! Por Jose Chaves Ignorancia (Del latín no saber ). El diccionario dice que suele entenderse de forma general como falta de conocimiento acerca de un asunto determinado. Sin embargo, se puede entender en dos sentidos: El absoluto que equivale a un insulto, manifestando una degradación en la escala social y en la valoración individual. Y el sentido concreto que es cuando significa «no saber algo determinado», frente al conocimiento de otras muchas cosas o «tener un conocimiento imperfecto sobre» Esto me recuerda un refrán popular que escuché en algún lugar Será ignorante (menso o tonto es lo usual que se dice) o se hace?. Por lo visto según el diccionario y el consenso común, cualquiera se gana el sentido absoluto de la ignorancia, ante la falta o interés en aprender o informarse correctamente, en especial cuando vamos a opinar o expresarnos en público. Por todo lado hay muchos que se ganan el sentido absoluto de la palabra ignorante, ya que hablan sin saber y opinan como los más conocedores o, peor aún, lo publican en redes sociales con faltas de ortografía. Actualmente con la facilidad que tenemos para encontrar información, desde una búsqueda en Internet, hasta una llamada telefónica, no justifica que las personas hablen semejantes cosas. Y esto sucede en todos los estatus sociales y clases económicas, sin excepción. Pellizquémonos, hagamos un alto. Revisémonos personalmente pero también ayudemos a quien no lo ve, diciéndole no hable sin saber. Y el esfuerzo de cada uno es lo que contará ante tanta Ignorancia.

7 Who is Jeff Olson? By Don Willems He was born and lived until recently in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 2010 Jeff visited Costa Rica and fell in love with its charm. He initially enjoyed it so much that he contacted a realtor on that first vacation and came back 3 months later with his father to buy a hector of land in the Central Pacific. After 5 years of three long vacations per year he now lives here full-time! One of Jeff s goals is to start to offer English Speaking Counseling which is rare to find in the area. His expertise is relationship therapy with a Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) background. He holds a Masters Degree in counseling from St Mary s University in Minneapolis. Why the need for counseling/therapy? There are times, especially when addictions or subtractions happen in people s lives (transitions) where a trained neutral outside source is needed for individuals, couples and families to gain clarity, stabilize and move beyond the immediate concerns to a future of flavored with growth, peace and happiness. That is the service Jeff would like to give back to the community where he has come to live. His past client-base has been broad... straight and gay clients, single or partnered, individuals/ couples/families, addiction issues, communications challenges, self-esteem building, dynamics of change, family or origin influences and relationship roles to name a few. Letting Go of the Past to Live Peacefully in the Present has also been a journey of many of his clients. His style is personable yet structured...and his goal is understanding, empathy, honest interaction and a sincere process. There will be reasonable challenges in each session as a majority of the work toward change happens outside the sessions. People have also called him an educator in sessions so learning and gaining new tools is a part of the process of his therapy practice. In the future he would also like to lead... 1) A relationship group for men straight and gay. 2) A co-dependency support group for women. 3) Psycho-educational seminars quarterly the general public. The Adventure and Magic of my 5 years of being part-time in Costa Rica and being here full time means... THE SKIES THE LIMIT!!! or When Life Hands You Lemons, Make Lemonade (Martha Stewart).

13 Keep it Happy, Keep it Snappy, Keep it Gay Learn Spanish the EASY way! Hola amigos! Is everything alright? I hope you have read my tres previous articles. If not, contact me and I will them to you. They are ESSENTIAL because they teach you important stuff about español. Before to continue, let s match this: QUÉ? QUIÉN? DÓNDE? CUÁNTOS? CUÁNTO? CUÁL? CUÁNDO? CÓMO? POR QUÉ? WHY? HOW? WHEN? WHICH? HOW MUCH? HOW MANY? WHERE? WHO? WHAT? On location or In studio Deep Relaxing Therapeutic Welcome to my country! I am Osvaldo, the Pura Vida Masseur of Manuel Antonio. Certified & Experienced Massage Therapist oscostarica@gmail.com By OS Beautifully done guys! Last issue I said I will talk about the super important WH Words in Spanish with more detail, so let s talk about the QUÉ? one: QUÉ es eso? = WHAT is that? Just put a dummy face, point to something and say: QUÉ es eso? This is my favorite question ever! Using that question you have a great way to start a conversation with someone and get a new word instantaneamente After you ask QUÉ es eso?, the other person will say the Spanish word for the thing or object you pointed at. Be ready to catch the word and repeat it, if you don t repeat it 100% wright, I am pretty sure the other person will correct you right away, if that happens, you just need to smile and repeat the word until you get it wright. Then say thank you=gracias and try to memorize the word. YOUR HOMEWORK. Find 100 native Spanish speakers (or lovers) and ask him/her: QUÉ es eso? Don t forget to point to the object, repeat the word three times and say gracias!!! Os has been teaching Spanish for more than 2000 days to ALL levels and ages Let him help you learn!

14 And & About By Jim St Marie Marcha de la Diversidad Planning is already underway for the Manuel Antonio/Quepos entry for the 2016 Marcha de la Diversidad (Gay Pride Parade) on June 26 in San Jose! The goal of a Pride Parade is to bring LGBT persons from all walks of life together to work on a project showing their community support and the spirit of that community. Putting aside pettiness and egos to show the world that we are proud and that there is no shame in being who we are. Already on board as members of the planning committee are local businesses Vela Bar, Salsipuedes Tapas Bar, Karma Lounge, Mid World Costa Rica, GayTours, Playita, Gay Manuel Antonio and Ita Events. In our resort community, we are at the beginning of high season so many of those who are the pillars of gay life here are necessarily involved in maintaining the success of their individual businesses and are not yet able to devote a lot of their time and effort to the Gay Pride project. Although I have lived here for only a few years, I have seen a need to begin the processes of planning and fundraising much earlier than previously done in order to make our presentation more complete and, yes, maybe even more extravagant than in previous years. I have, therefore, volunteered to assist in the planning, fundraising and execution of next year s entry. I do not undertake this responsibility without an understanding of what is needed. I have previously assisted on more than a dozen Pride committees in both Los Angeles and Las Vegas. I have also witnessed the efforts put forth by some of the regional leaders here in Manuel Antonio/ Quepos. My personal desire is to coordinate and direct (with input from all) from this early starting point to ensure that this community is represented most effectively. To date we have finalized three separate events to be held before the end of this year. On Sunday, November 29th the Pride Committee will be joining with GayToursCR at their weekly Sunset Session at Salsipuedes from 4 to 8PM. On Saturday, December 5th we will be included in the High Season Grand Opening Pool Party at Villa Roca, from 4 to 8PM and on Wednesday, December 9th we will be at Karma Lounge from 6 to 11PM for a special evening welcoming the passengers of Brand G Vacations, the first gay cruise to venture back to Quepos/ Manuel Antonio in several years! At all three of these functions and in support of the Gay Pride Committee, we will be joined by both the creators and various models of the Men of Manuel Antonio Calendar for a launch celebration. There are also many upcoming events that we are working on with local business entities! The owners of the website Gay Manuel Antonio will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Men of Manuel Antonio calendars to the Titi Conservation Alliance and the Pride Committee fund. Please support our community and join us at any of these events! You can also sign up to assist our committee in any way you are comfortable or send an !
