"Nice and relaxing place"
We were a familiy of 6, with 3 children (3-13yr)A nice and beautiful house. The house is located in an agricultural area with large areas covered with olive trees, citrus plants and livestock. Please note that the rooster crows very early and that other animals also are up early.
The house is well equipped, with excellent space and more large bedrooms. Good kitchen and great opportunities to be out. The swimming pool is not so big, but very comfortable. The bedrooms can be very hot at night and it would have been more comfortable with air conditioning, which is not installed when the house is designed for natural cooling. You should have a car at this place and it takes about 10-15 minutes to drive to the beaches.

Spurs' Duncan, talking smack? James and Heat are listening - 0 Comments
The words weren't nearly as surprising as the player who uttered them.
LeBron James was bold enough to count his championships in bunches before slipping on his first ring.
Then there's Tim Duncan, who has won four titles but is usually more restrained in his comments than Marcel Marceau.
But there was the San Antonio Spurs power forward in the moments after his team won the Western Conference finals on Saturday night, making a declaration on TNT that made you visualize ears perking up in South Beach.

Pat Buchanan - Outside agitator
In his U.N. address, President Obama listed a parade of horrors afflicting our world: "Russian aggression in Europe," "terrorism in Syria and Iraq," rapes and beheadings by ISIL, al-Qaida, Boko Haram.
And, of course, the Ferguson Police Department.
That's right. The president could not speak of war, terrorism and genocide without dragging in the incident in a St. Louis suburb where a white cop shot and killed a black teenager: "In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri — where a young man was killed, and a community was divided."
What, other than its racial aspect, can explain why Obama is so hung up on Ferguson? At the Congressional Black Caucus dinner Saturday, he was back stoking the embers. "Too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement, guilty of walking while black or driving while black — judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness."
Obama is here implying that Michael Brown was profiled, judged "guilty of walking while black," when shot and killed. But that is false, and Barack Obama knows it is false. Brown had just knocked over a convenience store after collaring the clerk and was walking in the middle of the main street in Ferguson, blocking traffic, when officer Darren Wilson confronted him.
Did Wilson shoot Brown in a racist rage? Or did Wilson, face battered and eye socket smashed in a fight with the 290-pound, 6'4" Brown, empty his gun in self-defense? We do not know. And neither does Barack Obama.
For weeks, a grand jury in St. Louis County has been hearing testimony, trying to sort it out. But by implying the shooting was done for racial reasons, that Brown may have been "targeted" for "walking while black," Obama is stoking the fires of racial resentment.
Why is he parroting a party line about America that he knows is more myth than truth? White cops are not the great lurking danger, nor the leading cause of violent death, of black teenagers and men. That role is fulfilled by other black teenagers and other black men. And the statistics on the ugliest forms of racial violence in America — interracial assaults, rapes, murders — reveal that such crimes are overwhelmingly black-on-white.
Obama said that "young men of color" are too often "judged by stereotypes." But behind those stereotypes are FBI statistics that show that black males between 16 and 36, two percent of the U.S. population, commit a vastly disproportionate share of all violent crimes.
Where are the stats to sustain Obama's stereotype of cops?
And what did the Ferguson police do to deserve to be invoked as exemplars of what is wrong with law enforcement in America, while the Ferguson protesters get a presidential pass? Since Michael Brown was shot in early August, rocks and Molotov cocktails have been thrown at Ferguson cops, stores have been looted and smashed, police have been cursed and threatened, and a mob tried to shut down I-70 at rush hour.
And what are the outrages perpetrated by Ferguson's cops? After a riot in Ferguson, the next night St. Louis County cops showed up in riot gear, helmets and body armor, with an MRAP. Now some Ferguson cops are wearing wristbands reading, "I am Darren Wilson," to show solidarity with their fellow cop who is in hiding for fear of his life.
This set off Eric Holder's minions in the civil rights division at Justice, whence one Christy Lopez fired off a letter to the Ferguson police chief saying the bracelets "upset and agitated people."
So what. If police baiters can raise hell in solidarity with Brown, cannot cops peacefully wear wristbands in solidarity with Wilson?
Last week, Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson released a video, apologizing to Brown's parents for their son's death, and for not moving the teenager's body from the street for four hours. Unartful, perhaps, yet it seemed sincere.
The response: The Ferguson mob cursed the chief and Brown's father brushed him off saying, "an apology would be when Darren Wilson has handcuffs, [is] processed, and charged with murder."
Understandably, this is what Michael Brown's father wants. And this is what the protesters demand. But that is not the way the law works in America, where crowds get the indictments and convictions they demand under a threat of civil disobedience or violence.
Saturday night, a Ferguson cop was shot in an incident unrelated to August. But Chief Jackson and State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson have told the Washington Post their officers have been repeatedly threatened and, since August, have come under gunfire.
If a St. Louis officer is wounded or killed in revenge for Brown, President Obama will deserve a full share of the moral responsibility. It is time he started acting like a president of all the people, and dropped this role of outside agitator.

Froma Harrop - Dems should be nicer to the South
MOBILE, Ala. — It's been noticed by just about everyone except what we call the "liberal establishment" that of the eight Senate seats now up for grabs, four are in the South — Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and North Carolina. H. Brandt (Brandy) Ayers, the publisher of The Anniston Star in Alabama, has certainly noticed the neglect. And boy, is he frustrated.
Ayers is both a staunch liberal and Southern to the core. If the Democratic Party wants to establish a healthy dialogue in the Southern states, he told me, it has to first say, "We like you." Liberals can't just sigh at the troublesome region's sharp move right and say, "That's a Southern thing."
Now pushing 80, Ayers has suffered many heartbreaks. He recounts them in a book, "In Love With Defeat: The Making of a Southern Liberal."
Southerners do know how to tell a story. How did a region once devoted to FDR and his New Deal turn into a conservative Republican stronghold? With eloquence and wit, Ayers describes the warring forces — above all, the central role of race. Key to this is understanding the Southern way of experiencing the universe.
Ayers was born into a bubble of Southern white privilege so tightly sealed he didn't know he was in it. In 1953, the headmaster at his Connecticut boarding school asked whether he had heard of a school desegregation case then winding through the Supreme Court. It was Brown v. Board of Education, and no, he hadn't.
"I ultimately chose the liberal side," Ayers said, "but it was long in coming."
Journalism was Ayers' calling, but he didn't stay north to become a Southern sage on The New York Times. He returned home, first as a reporter on The News & Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina. There he saw the Voting Rights Act of 1965 passed and the birth of the "New South" — centered on the booming economies of Atlanta and North Carolina's Research Triangle Park.
His father died, and Ayers returned to Anniston to take over the family newspaper. "Home was on old South time," he recalls.
In 1965, a drunken gang of Ku Klux Klan members shot up a Pontiac carrying four black laborers from the late shift at a pipe factory. One of them, Willie Brewster, was hit and died. Ayers raised a $25,000 reward from local donors, who signed a full-page ad condemning the attack. These were tough days.
"The FBI told me not to go to certain places for beer after work," Ayers said, "and that the Klan had stolen an enormous cache of munitions from nearby Fort McClellan."
Alabama Gov. George Wallace, then a primitive segregationist, referred to The Anniston Star as "The Red Star."
Time moved on, and the South took on a mellower "Sun Belt" persona. "The South was a newly discovered kingdom," Ayers said, "where the sun shines and nobody is mean anymore."
But politically, the golden age of the New South — with its new people, new money and progressive governors — ended in the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980. In Ayers' view, the all-Republican South was built on a core of racial resentment that pulled in many working-class Southerners.
Today's liberals add to his frustrations, especially their weak-tea prescriptions for confronting a growing economic insecurity.
"The liberalism of FDR's time was not an airy-fairy philosophy," Ayers said. "It was about something: a right to a job, a place to live, a bit of joy and self-respect."
Democrats need to channel that passion and return to the South. And it shouldn't be that hard. He concludes:
"The first rule of politics is showing up. The second is to be nice."

Sanborn — A tax on light and air
It almost goes without saying that we have some really exceptional and outstanding homes in the Lakes Region. They come in many different architectural styles and designs, use many different types of building materials and construction techniques, and vary tremendously in quality and price points. We live in an area of unique homes. You don't find many large tracts of cookie cutter residences here. But one thing that many homes have in common is the use of lots of windows.
Because we live in such a beautiful area with mountain and lake views most people will want to have as many windows as possible in order to enjoy those views. Homes are sited and constructed today making nature and the view the focal point. Walls of windows adorn lakefront homes, mountaintop retreats, homes in valleys looking up to the hills, or homes with pastoral garden views. Our surroundings are very important to us. Homes with lots of windows feel larger and are much brighter inside and most of the home buyers today desire that light and the airy feeling.
But, what if the government taxed you on light and air? What if they taxed you on the number of windows you had in your home? Preposterous, you say? Well, if you had lived in England between 1696 and 1851 there was exactly that, a tax on windows. Its many opponents called it a Tax on Light and Air! The tax was enacted as a way around an income tax. Because windows were so expensive to make, it seemed only reasonable that the wealthy would have more windows than the poor folks. They started out with a flat-rate house tax of two shillings per house and then a variable tax on the number of windows over ten in the home. If you had over twenty windows you paid yet another rate. Over the years the number of windows where a tax was incurred was changed to seven in 1766 and eight in 1825.
Now if that weren't bad enough, there was also a glass tax based on weight. This Glass Excise Tax was in effect from 1745 to 1845. It was originally a tax on raw materials only, but in 1811 it was changed to apply to the finished glass goods including everything from bottles to windows. So, in essence, homeowners with lots of windows were being taxed twice for the same thing. Though wildly unpopular, this did not stop the well to do from having large windows and custom built green houses. The affluent had the money and the more windows you had signified your wealth to the community.
Of course, the tax did have an effect on those least able to pay it. People avoided putting windows in new structures and they bricked up windows in existing buildings and painted them to look like windows. The use of "bulls-eye" glass became prevalent in this time. A piece of bulls-eye glass is very recognizable as it looks like...well, it looks like a bulls-eye. It comes from the process of making "crown" glass and it is where a glassblower's pontil (blowing tool) is attached to the glass. The glass is spun on a flat plate to make a sheet and when the tool is removed from the center of the pane it leaves a bulls-eye mark in it. That portion of the glass was deemed flawed and therefore not subject to the tax. You can't see through a bulls-eye window very well, but it does let light in. These windows were commonly used in the backs of houses or businesses as a cost cutting method.
With the invention of cast plate glass in 1848 windows became a lot less expensive. The continuous improvements and innovations in the glass making industry since then have changed the face of architecture worldwide. Today, walls of glass to bring in our astonishing views are commonplace. So while many folks now complain about a view tax, can you just imagine what would happen if we went back to a Tax on Light and Air?

Pat Buchanan - Is Burger King an economic patriot?
"Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains."
Jefferson's brutal verdict comes to mind in the fierce debate over inversions, those decisions by U.S. companies to buy foreign firms to move their headquarters abroad and renounce their U.S. citizenship — to evade the U.S. corporate tax rate of 35 percent.
U.S. executives who engineer these inversions are undeniably acting in the best interests of their shareholders and companies.
But are they also lacking in economic patriotism? Are they also guilty of economic treason against the nation that nurtured them? Are they, in the phrase tossed out by Barack Obama, "corporate deserters"? Adds our president, "I don't care if it's legal, it's wrong."
But are inversions wrong? Or are these relocations abroad neither more nor less moral than Boeing's decision to save hundreds of millions in labor costs by shifting 1,300 engineering jobs out of Seattle and Southern California to St. Louis, Charleston and Huntsville?
Is it morally permissible to leave your home state or region for economic reasons — as the textile mills left New England for the South — but unpatriotic to leave the land of your birth?
If so, was it not unpatriotic for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Fortune 500 to lobby for NAFTA and GATT so companies could shutter their factories here, lay off their U.S. workers, and move their production to Mexico and Asia?
Was it not unpatriotic of Congress and Presidents Clinton and Bush to facilitate the departure of tens of thousands of plants and millions of manufacturing jobs?
Where were the economic patriots then?
What has concentrated the mind here is the decision by Burger King, backed by shareholder Warren Buffett, to buy Tim Hortons in Canada. Burger King will move its headquarters to Canada, declare itself a Canadian company, and begin paying the Canadian corporate tax rate of 26 percent.
Ireland, with its 12.5 percent corporate income tax has proven a particularly attractive residence for companies shopping for lower tax rates. Before this year, Apple had used Ireland as a tax haven to shelter $40 billion in revenue.
Britain, too, has proven a magnet. U.S. pharmaceutical giant Pfizer made a $118 billion bid this year for AstraZeneca so it could move its tax domicile there, but was rebuffed by the target company.
Forty-nine U.S. companies have completed tax inversions. Twenty more are looking at them. The prospect that a lame duck Congress may take up legislation to end the practice and stanch the bleeding of tax revenue from the U.S. Treasury could cause a stampede.
Treasury is talking of a December law, made retroactive back to May, to strip the tax benefits from inversions. The prospect that the loophole may disappear could accelerate corporate flight out of the high-tax USA.
Some $2.1 trillion in corporate profits, subject to U.S. taxation, is already being held abroad, parked, and not repatriated, lest the holders get hit with the U.S. tax rate. Some U.S. companies are borrowing these funds from abroad and deducting the interest payments.
At bottom, the inversions issue is not only about corporate tax rates and competitiveness, but also about loyalties in conflict.
Actor Gerard Depardieu renounced his French citizenship rather than pay the 75 percent income tax rate imposed by the Socialist regime of Francois Hollande. Though denounced, was Depardieu being disloyal to France, or to the Hollande regime and its socialist ideology? Can one love one's country and hate its government? In 1776, that was surely true of Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton and Washington. And their rebellion had something to do with taxation.
Are New York City cops and civil servants who retire and take their pensions to Florida being disloyal to the Empire State because they want to stop paying the 12 percent state-local income tax bite? When states like Texas eliminate corporate income taxes, are they engaged in beggar-thy-neighbor politics against fellow states of the Union?
"Taxes are what we pay for civilized society," said Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. But is Ireland less civilized than America because her corporate tax rate is one-third of ours?
Judge Learned Hand had another take: "There is nothing sinister in so arranging one's affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant."
To our transnationalists, Judge Hand got it right. But whether one is an economic patriot or a libertarian, to keep the U.S. corporate tax rate at the highest level in a global economy of ferociously competitive nations would appear to reflect the thinking of an incorrigibly stupid and stubborn government.

Michael Barone - Which is the weaker party?
Which of our two great political parties is the stronger? Maybe it makes more sense to ask which of the two is weaker.
The case that the Republicans are weaker is easy to state. Democrats have won four of the last six presidential elections, from 1992 to 2012, and won a plurality of the popular vote in a fifth. This is a vivid contrast from the period 1968 to 1988, when Republicans won five of six presidential elections.
The case that the Democrats are weaker is not much harder to make. Democrats have failed to win a majority in the House of Representatives, the branch of government closest to the people, in eight of the last 10 elections, from 1994 to 2012. That's quite a contrast from the period, from 1954 to 1992, when Democrats won House majorities in 20 consecutive elections.
But neither side is in as strong a position as the other was in the past. Republicans' presidential vote margins averaged 10 percent in 1968-88. Democrats' margins averaged 4 percent in 1992-2012. As for the House, Democrats won at least 243 seats in every election from 1958 to 1992. Republicans' peak between 1994 and 2012 was 242 seats.
An assessment of their strength going forward depends on how well they are succeeding in maximizing their vote in line with their historic character. For the two parties are not twins.
The Republican Party, through its 160-year history, has had a core support group which is thought of as typically American but which by itself is not a national majority: Northern Protestants in the 19th century, married white people in America today.
The Democratic party, over its 182-year history, has been a collection of out groups, often with little in common, but with majority potential when they stick together: Catholic immigrants and white Southerners in the 19th century, blacks and gentry/university liberals today.
Barack Obama and the Democrats amassed a 53 percent majority in 2008, the largest in 20 years, but barely kept it together in 2012, when he won 51 percent — the first American president re-elected with a reduced percentage of the vote.
Obama Democrats maximized turnout among heavily favorable groups — blacks, Hispanics, unmarried women. They also got small majorities from traditional Midwestern Democratic constituencies — union members and retirees in Ohio and Michigan, dovish-minded German- and Scandinavian-Americans in Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
But those margins are tenuous.
Democrats' green-tinged opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline and hostility to fracking may hurt in the manufacturing belt, just as their "war on coal" has delivered the Jacksonian belt from western Pennsylvania southwest to Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas to Republicans. Military involvement in the Middle East may dampen dovish turnout.
Republicans have different challenges. The party is united in opposition to Obama policies, and differences over tactics have become muted as Republicans have recoiled from the backlash they suffered after the 2013 government shutdown. Splits over foreign policy have tended to disappear in the wake of the ISIS beheadings.
That leaves Republicans this year well-positioned to hold their House majority and with a better than 50 percent chance for a Senate majority. They are very far, however, from selecting a presidential nominee, with no clear leaders among a dozen or so potential candidates. And while they've consolidated their party core, they're very far from coming up with a set of policies that can appeal to a majority of voters.
Ideally, every party wants a nominee to produce a platform, a set of policies, that works in the primaries, works in the general election and works in governing. That's easy to say, but hard to do. Candidates feel pressure to move toward the wings in primaries, toward the center in the fall election, and toward acquiescence to the status quo once in office.
Conservative thinkers of varying stripes, including some officeholders and presidential potentials, have been producing innovative policies that don't simply copy platforms of the past. Attractive new ideas will likely find their way into candidates' platforms and debates.
Republicans face an uphill task in getting their ideas out because of the hostility or incomprehension of old-line media. They have a lot of hard work ahead of them, with no guarantee of a successful outcome. As for Democrats, they face issues with potential fractures in their disparate top-and-bottom coalition.
So which party is weaker? Your call.

Likewise, I appreciate a healthy dose of mischief or irreverent humor, the energy of the city, country air, an unexpected find, being shown your favorite places; a good thunderstorm or snowstorm, the top of a mountain, the clarity of stars in the winter sky when it's so cold you can barely stay outside, being tossed in a wave, the sun on your face, the twinkle in your eyes, twilight, peonies, a great shop or bookstore, a handwritten note, listening to other people's play lists… Can't sing or play a tune to save my life, but love music in a huge way — all kinds! Too many faves to list here. Friends and family are important, and valued. I also have an amazing pup, who will charm you to no end. Ideally, you are bright, intelligent and generous. You embrace life, and transition easily between high and low. Work hard, play hard; can kick back and relax. Travel is a must. Fun with a dash of precociousness layered upon solid values and good manners. Dependable AND spontaneous. You don't take yourself too seriously. You treat others with respect. You're broad minded, curious, knowledgeable—and have room to hear what others have to say. You're interested in design, the arts, music or style of some sort. You have a little love to give. A good conversationalist. Have perspective, a sense of humor and the ability to laugh. Don't sweat the small stuff. You can kiss, open a door, and even snuggle. You'd love to find someone to enjoy, and explore life with. And/or, we just click. If you think there might be a connection, give a shout — live in the sunshine. swim in the sea. drink the wild air.

Women's Wisdom Circle Retreat
in Yelapa Mexico with Linda Wolf
Norma Jean Young, Reiki Mistress & T'ai Chi Ch'uan teacher Kellie Shannon Elliott, 5Rhythms certified teacher
April 26 - May 4th, 2013

"The work Linda Wolf is doing changes the world" Jean Houston
"Being part of circle saved my life" Talina Wood
"This retreat is a secret treasure" Beverly Yates
Women's Circle: Our circles are powerful, transformational, mutual support systems. They are deeply soulful experiences --a secret treasure that you are blessed to find. In our circle, together we co-create the safety and intimacy that is necessary for each of us to be fully present and listen to ourselves and each other. We hone a space of trust and connection from which we experience deep insights and wisdom and hear what our souls are calling forth. We create a finely tuned resonate field within which our true voices and feelings can be expressed --bringing us closer to the questions and answers we are seeking to resolve. By each woman lovingly taking responsibility for everything she perceives, imagines, hears, thinks, and feels, we experience the freedom to speak and listen from our hearts and be ourselves, here and now. Practicing Compassionate Listening our unique destiny paths become clearer.
Compassionate Listening™ Compassionate Listening is a life-long spiritual practice that will improve all your relationships. You will learn it and can use it for the rest of your life. It's that powerful. Compassionate Listening helps us to create a spaceousness which allows us to listen to and accept others' perspectives, to hold multiple perspectives with respect, whether we agree or disagree with them. This is the peace building skill that is desperately needed in the world, in all our relationships and within our own selves. It lifts our vibration and heals us. People around us are changed just being near us as we begin to resonate a loving presence of acceptance. C.L. is not about being perfect. It is about being human. Forgiveness is a great part of C.L.
T'ai Chi & Qi Gong: Each morning, we will gather together, have a cup of something warm, and meet on the dance floor to awaken our bodies and spirits through Tai Chi and Qi Gong, with Norma Jean Young. This will begin our day of deep listening and bring us into balance with the natural flow of life in the now, and be present for the day as it presents itself.
5Rhythms: Each evening we will again move our bodies and spirits with 5Rhythms certified teacher, Kellie Shannon Elliott. Before dinner, we will gather on the dance floor to move our energy and emotions to inspired music. In this way, we will release all that we have gone through during the day, and strengthen and anchor the transformational work we are doing together, transitioning into our evening. 5Rhythms is a movement mediation practiced devised by Gabrielle Roth. It draws from indigenous and world traditions, and Gestalt therapy, the human potential movement, and transpersonal psychology. 5Rhythms is a soul journey. By moving the body, releasing the heart and freeing the mind, one can connect to the essence of the soul, the source of inspiration in which an individual has unlimited possibility and potential.
Extra Special Adventures:
Day-trip to Pizota: (included in fee)
We'll visit the neighboring village of Pizota, which is an even smaller fishing village (only 26 families) just around the southern point of Yelapa, 10 minutes by boat. There we'll be treated to a delicious lunch, after we will take you on a guided hike to "the secret waterfall," where the water is truly clean and we are totally secluded! Meaning forget the bathing suits if you want to!
Day-trip to the Marietta Islands: (Included in fee)
Our boatman, Seferino will drop us off on one of the uninhabited beaches and later give us a tour of the islands by boat, stopping if possible to let us swim into the womb of rock, which must one be listed as one of the world's wonders. The Mariettas are one of the last two nesting grounds of the Blue-Footed Booby. (Bring your waterproof cameras!). Snorkeling at the Mariettas provides one with endless delights, and swimming there is quite a thrill for those who love the water. If we're lucky enough to have the beach to ourselves, we can even skinny dip!
Nourish your body, soul and spirit in Yelapa - Optional Add Ons:

Yelapa, is a fishing village 45 minutes away from Puerto Vallarta by boat, and was recently named the number 1. place to go before you die by Sunset magazine. Yelapa has long been a favorite destination for artists, musicians, hippies, backpackers, beatniks, and other counter-culture folks who were drawn by the "back to nature" reality of no electricity, no cars, no streets, no roads, and the easy-going attitude towards all things free. Now Yelapa has electricity (most of the time!), but there is still the same free-flowing feeling and no cars, no streets, no roads, plus an indigenous Mexican culture where you can still find adobe tortilla stoves, and a natural environment with the greatest bio-diversity, second only to the Amazon Rainforest.
Lodging is at El Jardin Eco Retreat: For this retreat, we are renting the entire El Jardin Eco Retreat Center, so we'll have plenty of privacy and comfort. El Jardin is located on "The Point," just off Isabel's Beach. The living room, dining room, kitchen, and dance space are one very large room, open to the air and close to the water. Just beautiful. The Palapas are hostel style sleeping quarters, with comfy, cozy beds (all have mosquito nets), and fully equipt bathrooms with composting toilets. The owners of Towels, linens, fresh drinking water are provided. El Jardin are commited to taking care of the eco systems of Yelapa.To view El Jardin's website, filled with recommendations and photos, look at this website. http://yelapagardenretreat.com
Meals: Our on-site cook, Eric, uses as many organic, local and whole foods as possible in his preparations. Vegan, vegetarian, pescaterian, flexitarian options are no problem, just let him know what you want! Our first night's dinner is a favorite - homemade black beans and rice, fresh corn tortillas (whenever possible, locally made by hand), salsa, guacamole, chili rellenos, salads, steamed vegetables, and an array of delicious choices of natural fruits, nuts, coconuts, juices, teas, and local desserts, all made with care, love, skill, and patience. Let us know your particular dietary constraints, and we'll take care of you to the best of our ability.
Eric Kuhner: Eric Kuhner leads young men's circles and assists in TTC Facilitator Trainings. He is on the board of directors of Teen Talking Circles, and was Administrative Director for the Compassionate Listening Project. Eric has completed the Advanced CL Training. In addition to participating in his own men's group, he has led retreats and circles for men as well as retreats for men and women. Eric has a Masters Degree in Urban Studies, and has mastered the art of shifting roles from group leader and facilitator to computer guru, to massage therapist, to writer, and inspired chef.
Fitness Requirements: Yelapa is a walking village. We've had participants from 18 - 80 years old in our circles -- even one woman with two artificial knees! If you've been wanting more exercise, you'll have a great opportunity! However, if you're feeling sore or even if you're not, you can avail yourself of one of the many talented local bodywork practicioners whose prices are far better than we're used to in most North American cities.
Living Conditions to Consider: Living close to nature brings us more deeply in touch with our own wild nature and the wilderness in our own spirits. It provides enormous pleasure, awe and can also cause us to have to confront our fears as well as pay attention to possible hazzards. The presence of scorpions, jellyfish, ticks (non-lyme), stingrays, intense sun, uneven footing on rocky trails requires mindfullness and care. We have never had injuries, scorpion stings or other health issues among our participants, but these hazzards are ever present and need to be recognized.
More about Yelapa: Yelapa also offers us tremendous opportunities outside our scheduled times -- through resting, reading, hiking, swimming, dancing, paragliding, and simply being, we revitalize. There are kayaks availble for our use and a beach right at our doorstep. At El Jardin, we have Internet and cell phones do work in most places in Yelapa! If you're someone who enjoys speaking Spanish, the locals love conversation and even make an effort to understand our worst efforts!
At night, in Yelapa, there is much to do to shake out our bodies and rattle our souls! The Saturday night and Wednesday night "Disco" means dancing your heart out! So bring flowing dancing clothes! At certain times of the year we can go for a midnight swim under the stars, in the phosphorescence. Then, sleep to the sounds of the crickets and tropical forest creatures and the music flowing across the Bay. In the morning you'll wake to the sounds of dozens of birds, the hooves of horses on the stone paths, the calls of the fishermen, and the children playing or on their way to the school. If you wish there is "upriver," where an hour hike through the back country will bring you to Christina's Vegan Restaurant --- itself quite a novelty, with a bathroom & toilet up in a funky treehouse! And further on is the waterfall in Yelapa.
The Huichol Shamans and Artists: The Huichol or Wixáritari (or "peyote people," as they are often called) are an indigenous ethnic group of western central Mexico, living in the Sierra Madre mountain range in the Mexican states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Zacatecas, and Durango. Over the past 40 years, the late Isabel Jordan, founder of Casa Isabel, befriended and supported many Huichol shamans and artists by purchasing their artwork and jewelry, as well as participating in their religious and spiritual rituals at sacred sites in the Sierra Madre Mountains. If shamans or artists are visiting Yelapa at the time of our retreat, you might be able to purchase a Healing or jewelry.
Traveling in Jalisco, Mexico is safe and easy. We have heard of no violence towards foreign visitors in Jalisco, or Yelapa. The worst we've heard of in Yelapa are robberies. El Jardin has safes for our valuables, and the local people are committed to seeing this does not continue. The locals are friendly and warm and often speak English or make a great attempt to understand poor Spanish.
Airlines are offering great deals right now, and there are many direct flights to Puerto Vallarta. As departure and arrival plans vary, we will work with you to arrange baggage assistance and water taxi transportation, as needed. We'll give you all the information and assistance you need to get from the airport to Yelapa and back!
We hope you will join us for another unforgetable experience in Circle in Yelapa. If you need to speak with a real person or two about this, don't hesitate to call us at 206-842-3000. You can also email Genevieve, who will be glad to help you figure out the details info (@) teentalkingcircles (.) org.
Cost to attend the Retreat: $1550

The Amazing Yelapa Experience: Many women have written us to thank us for offering them such a treasured experience. Here are a few more testimonials. Feel free to contact us if you'd like to speak personally with someone who has been to one of our retreats.
"I enjoyed the women's circle in Yelapa so much, I'm going again this year! The retreat is a good way for me as a busy city woman to reconnect with myself in a healthy, beautiful setting. Sharing the retreat with a great group of women makes it more meaningful. We all need to slow down sometimes, to take time to reflect, eat healthy food, laugh, dance, and share a little of our lives with friends. Just arriving in Yelapa, after a boat trip down the coast, makes me feel that I'm moving towards more balance in my life." Gillian Corless, Vancouver BC
"I can't thank you enough for your caring and your skilled facilitation in Yelapa which helped me in so many ways. I came home with a deeper understanding of some of the issues I was facing in my life, a sense of peace, and a renewed energy." Phyllis, Indianola WA.

• We congratulate Kershaw County's 2012 graduates – both those who have already stepped across the stage and those who will receive their diplomas Saturday. As indicated in today's Chronicle-Independent graduation section, we have many young people with bright futures ahead of them. We wish them the very best on their journey.
There are countless reasons that our system of government in Washington is broken so badly, but there's one concept -- it's in effect in many states, already – that would effect immediate change and would help solve our crisis in government: term limits. Of course it's not a new concept, but limiting people to a particular number of terms, whether in the House of Representatives or the Senate -- would help free many elected officials to make decisions based on what's best for the country rather than on getting re-elected.
We're glad to see that automakers in the United States are getting serious about producing vehicles that run on compressed natural gas (CNG), a fuel that is readily available in this country and much cheaper than gasoline. It's estimated that the U.S. has more than a 100-year supply of natural gas presently on hand, and prices have been falling, as opposed to the costs of gasoline. And, of course, running vehicles with a native fuel lessens dependence on the Middle East and its volatile politics. As we pointed out recently, we're enthusiastic about the fuel-efficient diesel-powered ...
• It's satisfying to see a future generation of leaders in training. Junior Leadership Kershaw County recently graduated its 24th class of youth, who completed a year-long program of team-building and leadership development activities. We congratulate the graduates of this year's Junior Leadership academy, which represents Camden, North Central and Lugoff-Elgin high schools and Camden Military Academy, and commend the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce, Kershaw County School District and Camden Military Academy for their joint sponsorship of this program.
When Charles Colson, White House legal counsel under President Richard Nixon, went to prison in 1974 for obstruction of justice related to the Watergate scandal, few people could have predicted the path his life would take. Colson, in the vernacular of the day, got "jailhouse religion" and said he would dedicate his life to helping those behind bars. His conversion was met with a great deal of suspicion. Colson ended up surprising his critics by founding Prison Fellowship, an international evangelical Christian ministry, and spending the next 36 years working to spread his message in an attempt to help inmates ...
We have noted before with a degree of perplexity that diesel automobiles that get great fuel mileage and are wildly popular in Europe have never been promoted here in the United States by automakers. Finally, we're glad to see that is changing, and the public is responding in a big way. Volkswagen is now aggressively pushing its Passat TDI diesel model, which can deliver up to 50 miles per gallon in highway driving. Auto industry analysts have said for more than three decades that Americans wouldn't latch onto diesels, partly because of the disastrous results back in the ...
• With the Major League Baseball season in its infancy, we're struck by one fact about the New York Yankees: the team must have the biggest -- we're talking in terms of physical size here -- pitching staff in the history of the league. Excluding Hiroki Kuroda, at 6-1 and 190 pounds the dwarf of the group, New York's starting rotation averages nearly 6-6 in height and 257 pounds. Hurler C. C. Sabathia is the biggest of the group at 6-7, 290. We don't know how well they'll pitch this year, but we doubt you'll see many ...
We don't know whether Kershaw County voters will face a referendum this fall on whether to organize a new county police department -- in the process taking virtually all authority away from the sheriff's office -- but the fact that county council is even considering it is a bit unsettling for both entities. Discord between sheriffs and county council members is nothing new, of course. In the past, going back decades, some sheriffs have been quick to remind council members that they are independent elected officials, and councils have been no less reticent to let sheriffs know they are dependent ...
• There's a controversy over federal subsidies granted to college students, and that's a valid subject for debate, but lost in the shuffle is the fact that college costs are out of control. The expense charged to students from colleges and universities has skyrocketed in the two decades at a rate far exceeding the increase in the cost of living. Colleges need to get a handle on that before criticizing the government for not allowing large subsidies.
It appears that claims of $5-a-gallon gasoline in South Carolina that were made a few months ago were nothing more than speculation, as the price of fuel is now coming down and is actually lower than it was a year ago. That's good news, of course, and experts say one reason is that people are driving less, using more fuel-efficient cars, making fewer trips and carpooling. There's another option we'd like to suggest, one that can save money while at the same time improving health. It's walking. What could be simpler than that?
The relationship between Gov. Nikki Haley and members of the General Assembly hasn't been exactly lovey-dovey, and there's probably some blame to be placed on both sides. But it does look a bit churlish for the Senate to finally pass a bill that will allow gubernatorial candidates to pick their own running mates, but to postpone the effective date of the bill until after Haley runs for re-election -- as she is presumed to want to do -- two years from now.
• USAirways, which has a major hub in Charlotte, is making a play for American Airlines, which is in bankruptcy, cutting a deal with American's unions that will give USAirways a step up in the merger it seeks. For Kershaw County travelers who choose to fly out of Charlotte rather than subject themselves to the restrictions of Columbia's limited flight schedules, that would be a great improvement, and we hope USAirways is able to pull its deal off.
After years of fan discontent over the lack of a playoff system in college football, it appears that progress is finally being made toward establishing some sort of playoff that will involve at least four teams and possibly more. Over many seasons, since the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) was established, college football's power brokers steadfastly refused to admit that a controversial system of picking two teams to play for the national championship had any weaknesses. They wanted to protect the current bowl system and they displayed a blind eye to fans' calls for a playoff.
Members of the S. C. General Assembly appear poised to strike down the TERI program as the state's retirement system deficit continues to climb, recently hitting the $14 billion mark. The program was born out of good intentions but contained so many loopholes that it became the antithesis of what lawmakers intended when they started it.
• Political spin is a given these days, and President Obama is as good -- or bad, given your point of view -- at it as anyone. We were amused at his response to one reporter after Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen stuck her foot in her mouth with her comment about Ann Romney's never having "worked a day in her life." Obama referred to Rosen as "some woman on television," conveniently forgetting that she's a Democratic operative. We'll have to admit that goes beyond spin.
Tomorrow is Independence Day, the Fourth of July, when this country celebrates its birthday. This year, July 4 marks the 239th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence -- the document which signaled to the world the original 13 British colonies were breaking away from Mother England.
During the last week, we have published two reports on KershawHealth. The first, growing out of the hospital's most recent board of trustees meeting, focused on its market share. It is relatively healthy, thanks to KershawHealth's being the only hospital in all of Kershaw County. More people living in the county turn to KershawHealth for emergency care than anywhere else. However, the report -- broadly speaking -- noted a decrease in market share in outpatient services and only slight increases for inpatient services.
Kudos to our various law enforcement agencies for working together to get some folks off our streets who needed to be stopped. At the top of our list are Bethune Police Chief Joey Cobb, Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) and U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for arresting two people (and there may be more to come) for the June 23 armed robbery of Sandhills Bank in Bethune.

I went to see Dr. Antunes for a facial laceration. I was very concerned about scarring. He assured me that the scar would be minimal, and proceeded to clean the area and stitch up the wound. I went to see him the following week to have the stitches removed. It has now been 6 months and I can barely see a scar. He is an excellent surgeon with a great bedside manner.

Earlier this week, Netflix subscribers all over the country got some bad news when it was announced that the streaming service would soon be losing a huge chunk of its British TV series lineup. It turns out that news wasn't entirely true.
Netflix is a cheap TV solution for many families, but one of the downsides to Netflix is its penchant for dropping popular programming. Unfortunately at the end of the month, a bunch of wildly popular programs are being dropped by the streaming service.
Before this most recent season of Doctor Who, one of the biggest questions being bounced around the sci-fi community was Will Peter Capaldis edgier Doctor do the franchise well? Now that his first season in the TARDIS is said and done, there has been something of a split decision.
The Doctor Who Christmas special aired last night, and we finally got the answer to Clara's fate on the TARDIS. Jenna Coleman shares her feelings about Clara's future.
You better watch out. You better not cry. You better not disrobe on Christmas Eve, or assume you or your family will live to see December 26, or attempt to experience goodwill and joy on Christmas. Because one of these Santa Clauses might be coming to town.
The trailer for the Doctor Who Christmas special is basically perfect. It doesn't give a lot of plot details, but it sure has us excited! Does anyone need anything more in life than Nick Frost as Santa Claus?
However, after Clara popped back up in the sneak peek for the Christmas special, some Whovians have started to wonder if weve really seen the last of Clara Oswald. It looks like we will have an official answer on Claras future in the TARDIS when we watch the Christmas special!
For a show that wouldnt be the show we all love today without the hard work and creativity of some awesome women, its a bit sad and shocking that there hasnt been a female writer on the Doctor Who since 2008. Luckily, this week Doctor Who announced it will be turning over a new leaf this week, hiring its first female writer in six years.
Youll catch Peter Capalidi during the Doctor Who Christmas special next month and then youll see him again during Season 9. But where does that leave the good Doctors brave companion, Clara? Will Jenna Coleman return to the series for its ninth season?
The Doctor And Santa... together for the first time. This couldn't possibly get confrontational, could it?
Grab a box of tissues, watch this week's Doctor Who, then come back here for some discussion on why "Death In Heaven" is a fitting finale to Season Eight. The episode also offered some jaw-dropping stuff, after a season that mostly rode a seesaw of interesting and boring events.
Doctor Who really went all out with this years finale. The finale is a two-part episode, filled with betrayals, revelations and deaths. Whovians have already seen the first half of the two-parter this Saturday, and weren't too happy with the episode. Here's why.
There's a lot to talk about with this week's Doctor Who. If you've been waiting for the episode to convince you that the show isn't totally lost, your day has come!
I know its difficult, but try to contain your excitement for the Doctor Who finale. Find out what the cast and crew have in store, and catch an all-new episode of BBC Americas Doctor Who this Saturday at 9 p.m. ET.
There are a lot of clues to pick apart from the Doctor Who Season 8 finale promos. All of that information can be summed up in one question, and it's a question that we asked each time we saw one of the 14 moments we're about to highlight from both trailers: WTF?!

TravelPod Member ReviewsBorgmann Villa Hotel Amsterdam
Stayed for two days in July. Great little hotel right on Vondelpark. Clean rooms (we booked with private bathroom). Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast not included, but very fast and easy to use Wifi. We rented bikes from them (15 euro for 24 hrs, which is a bit pricier than the bike touring companies but then you'd have to pay 2,80 to ride the tram into town). Takes less than 10 minutes to bike into city centre.

Historical Traveler Reviews Borgmann Villa Hotel Amsterdam
Miss something but extremely OK !!!
Me and my fiance spent there 4 days ,the location is very good just outside the centre close to the Vondelpark and with tram line 2 you will reach the sights in 10-15 minutes .
I made the booking trought my travel agency Nordic Italian Travel and we have realy enjoyed our stay there ,room 11 is great and has helped me to strike my girlfriend ...........
We missed all the breakfast because 9:00 was too early for us but that is our fault not their ,I met also the Owners realy nice people but I met only them because there is nobody else on the desk and sometimes we had to find the informations on the street or on a travel guide we bought in Italy .
At the end ..........People go there !!!!!!!!!!!
Nice cosy place, very good deal for the price
I think this is the best area of Amsterdam -near calm green Vondel park, all build in with 19th century villas and at the same time so near the center. The hotel itself is also a former villa, so i understood that all rooms are different. Mine spacious double had a great balcony overlooking the Vondel park. The owners (a charming couple) really care about the guests and create homely ambiance. Very clean! Great place indeed.
If quiet is what you seek.....
If you are the type of traveller who prefers to stay in quiet area away from tourist center, I have a perfect little hotel for you. Situated near the end of VondelPark, the Villa Borgmann may not be the most covenient hotel for the short term visitor, but if you have a few days, and don't mind exploring by tram or walking through gorgeous neighborhoods and parks, it is a great choice.
The neighborhood is wealthy and reminiscent of New Orleans' Garden District or London's Hampstead, with large houses, beautiful architecture and lovely gardens throughout the area. There are also a decent number of cafes and shops scattered around the neighborhood...Not right out the door...but pretty close. Due to that fact, we chose to eat breakfast out of the hotel, sampling a few of the local cafes...Also, the regular continental breakfast seemed a touch pricey to us at 10euro.
There are a couple of tram stops a few blocks from the hotel...and a fairly dedicated walk to Leidseplein is about 10-15 minutes through the park...allow 30 minutes in reality. It is about the same to Museumplein...depending on one's window shopping time on Williamsparkweg and P.C.Hoofstraat...
The hotel itself is very pleasant; sparkling clean and friendly...We had Room #11, a front room with a beautiful floor to ceiling bay window. The blond furniture and the bay windows made the room seem quite large...The breakfast room is lovely; overlooking a small canal and the park...and there is also a small sitting area in the garden in the rear of the hotel, which I found to be a great place for my evening smoke.
All in all, an excellent experience...
Great stay at Borgmann Villa
I just got back from Amsterdam and the first two nights were spent at the Borgmann Villa Hotel. We had a nice, spacious room with two gently firm beds. The stairs were steep, as they are all over Amsterdam, but they also have an elevator. the morning breakfast was very good for the 10 euro that they charge. I would defintiely book a room there again. It is not in the center of the city which was great for me. Instead it is on beautiful Vondelpark where I could jog in the morning and stroll in the early evening.
Best night's sleep for years
I look for 3 things in a hotel - space, sleep and a good shower. We got all 3 at Villa Borgmann. Our double room on the second floor was about 6 by 4 metres, the bathroom 3 by 3, about twice the normal size. The area is quiet at night and the local restrictions mean little traffic during the day. Add this to the linked twin beds and I got the best nights sleep I have had in any hotel for a very long time.We arrived 90 minutes late because of flight delay but were given at 9 p.m. an excellent description of the key areas of Amsterdam which took us through the 3 days of our stay. The staff continued friendly and helpful throughout. Walking from the hotel through the Vondel Park to the Museum area takes about 25 minutes. Tram line 2 is about 5 minutes walk ( you could stay in a hotel on a tram track and be further from the stop than this ).To reach the hotel from Schiphol we could not find the bus to Hofpark Hotel so we took the train into town and a taxi out. After 3 days of riding on the trams we got adventurous so our return was a walk across the park, tram no 1 to Lelylaan station, and a train to Schiphol taking an hour in total and costing 5 euros each. There are up to 5 trains an hour on this route.Obviously all this is personal, as are the potential disadvantages. If we had stayed in the centre we could have returned to our room during the day, but we would have seen less. Our method for getting a rest during the day was to take a boat trip. Also, if you take a car, there is street parking on Koningslaan with a charge from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at 1,80 euros per hour.With a work colleague having had a bad experience with noise and poor facilities in an Amsterdam city centre 2 star hotel, we were very pleased with what we got at the Villa Borgmann.

It was such a beautiful day today with 23 degrees of sunshine, that every native and tourist seemed to be sunning themselves at outdoor cafes and bars.

Our last day in Athens was spent walking around the Plaka having coffee at an outdoor caf�, just like all the other Greeks and listening to the parakeets happily chirp.

Highlight of the evening was when Elizabeth invited two handsome Irish men to join us at our table, much to the surprise of Julius and Corey, who seemed slightly uncomfortable with the situation even though they both have girlfriends. The hours went by quickly and before we knew it, it was after midnight and no one really felt like going dancing anymore so we just hopped on our bikes and headed home. Bloemenbar and DiscoDollies would have to wait until the next visit!

Phoenix Suns
Jeff Hornacek: We got it back to Phoenix Suns basketball
PHOENIX, Ariz. -- His players believed he deserved the honor and said as much as they cleaned out their lockers late last week.
"To me, I think he's Coach of the Year, by far. It's not even close," Gerald Green said.
"Not being biased but I think he should be Coach of the Year easily," Ish Smith said.
Jeff Hornacek, however, did not win NBA Coach of the Year. He placed second behind San Antonio's Gregg Popovich, who won for the third time in his career.
Hornacek's career on the sideline is just getting started.
And while yes, much was accomplished in his 48-34 rookie season -- the Suns' 23-win improvement over last year was the largest turnaround in the league -- Hornacek pointed beyond the win-loss totals as to what stood out the most to him.
"We got it back to Phoenix Suns basketball and what it's really like," he said during the team's season-ending media availability on March 18. "The exciting brand of basketball. The guys that are going to go out there and play hard. We know that the fans want to watch guys that lay it out there every night. If you do that, you have great support of the community and I think we accomplished that through the way these guys played this year. They laid it out there every single game."
For the players, a collection of 10 new faces from a year ago, it was easy to bring it each and every night, especially for a coach who had their backs -- good or bad -- and gave them every opportunity to enjoy on-court success, where others perhaps had not.
"He's just got a great feel, a great balance of when to get on us, when to back up, when to let us play, when to kind of tighten up and run some offense�and he's a players' coach," Smith said.
Added Goran Dragic of Hornacek, "He understands the game because he played that game and that makes it even easier for us because he understands us. He's not only a coach for us; he's a friend, too. He talks with us a lot. He communicates with us. He's making jokes; and that's what brings players and coaches closer and then you would do anything for the coaches."
The Suns just missed the playoffs, finishing one game back of 8th place Dallas in the Western Conference. That, according to Hornacek, who spent his first six seasons in the NBA with the Suns after they drafted him 46th overall in 1986, should serve both him and his players as motivation heading into the offseason.
"They had their sights set high," he said. "And it's great to have players like that from day one who, they're zeroed in on their goal. It's disappointing, but guys really do have to look back in the beginning of what was predicted and say that they had a great season. And the disappointment from not making it will only, I think, drive them for next year."
"Hopefully we can look in a couple of years and say, �you know what, that started this run to this championship.' That's the ultimate goal for all of us and you got to start somewhere."

Obama asks Congress to delay spending cuts, but Republicans reject proposal's tax hikes
President Barack Obama called on Congress to delay the across-the-board spending cuts that are scheduled to go into place March 1, The Business Journals reported.
If Congress can't pass a comprehensive deficit reduction plan to replace these cuts, known as sequestration, it should at least pass a small package of alternative spending reductions and tax increases in order "to delay the economically damaging effects of the sequester for a few more months," Obama said.
