The Earthlinks Circle holds a retreat camp each summer at the end of July, to work spiritually with human and global situations, supporting positive forward movement for the planet and for all life.
It is for people who are members of the group, or who have been flying alongside, or for people who are interested in participating in the process and trying out what we do and the way we do it - full details are on this website.
It's a 'work camp', and that's our focus, but we have a good time too, and this kind of camp might be a very special experience for folks who feel right for it.
When? Monday 24th-31st July 2016
Where? Somerset, UK.
Cost? £70 per person plus £25 per person for food. These are cost estimates, and if they are exceeded (usually they aren't) we have a small whip-round to cover all costs.
It isn't an open camp: attendance is possible after discussion with or invitation by us, and we welcome you to get in touch if you're interested by e-mailing us. We'll then arrange a Skype or telephone call between you and one of the group so that everything is clarified.
What happens at the camp
We open the day around 10am with a meditation of about half an hour. Then we share reflections in the circle while using a talking stick. Themes and forms of the work arise from this process, which gives shape to the rest of the day.
All the work is focused through healing or transformational intent to create the possibility of change in intransigent world situations, for the highest good of all beings.
We work for the whole day, with breaks, often with the evening free, though sometimes working in the evening too - depending how things are evolving at the time. More details about what we do can be seen by reading though 'The Work' section on this site.
We work at the etheric level with the 'heart of the world' and the collective psyche, supporting the highest intention of human consciousness. We seek to bring human activity into a better balance with itself, with the planet as a whole and with the wider universe.
Our intention is to support the best outcome in any given situation, without attachment to the form that outcome should take - we're seeking to encourage 'forwardness', progress, resolution and healing rather than specific, preferred outcomes. Our main aim is to help humanity learn from its experiences and become aware of deeper and wider issues so that the future unfolds in a more wholesome way.
The work arises in the moment and may take a number of forms. For example, embodiment and acting out of aspects of a situation, engaging in symbolic healing processes, doing visualisation, meditation, remote viewing, channelling, deep discussion and other things.
In the evening we eat together and sit by the fire as night comes on. Our fellowship as a group is important.
Opening circle: Sunday 24th July 2016 at 5pm.
Closing circle: Sunday 31st July 2016 at 10.30am.
Please come for the whole time and stay on site. We hand in our mobile phones for the week (it's digital holidaytime) - there will be an emergency number to ring if absolutely necessary. This helps to build a strong and focused working energy in which magic can happen.
Facilities: two compost loos, a wood-fired hot shower and water-point. Firewood is provided. Please bring your own camping gear and bits - if this is a problem, let us know in good time.
Food and cooking: depending on the size of the camp we will be catering either as a group or we will have a cook to do the catering. The food charge given above is thus either a kitty contribution or a charge for meals provided. Please bring your own breakfast, favourite snacks and food for special dietary needs, and we'll share lunch and dinner. Shared meals are vegetarian. One person from the camp also does a top-up shopping trip mid-week, for everyone.
We don't cater for children, and they would be bored stiff by it anyway! In a sense it's a journey on a spacecraft or an island retreat, and we're thoroughly away for a week, not in the world. In effect, we're incommunicado for the duration of the camp. For some people, this could be very special.
Attending the camp does not bind you to greater involvement in our group activities, though the camp can be valuable for people who otherwise don't have the time or circumstance to be involved with the ongoing work of the group. If you wish to join the group in the longterm, this is a good place to start.
To find out more about the camp, contact Palden on 01736 785967 (+44-1736 785967) or e-mail Palden

With each vintage of the acclaimed Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Beringer Winemaker Laurie Hook chooses the best lots from our reserve vineyards in the Napa Valley, each of which demonstrate remarkable expression of terroir. Beringer's extraordinary collection of vineyards is the result of a significant and decades-long relationship between viticulture and winemaking. This partnership began with Ed Sbragia and Bob Steinhauer in the 1970's, and continues today with Winemaker Laurie Hook and Vineyard Director Drew Johnson, who has cared for our vineyards for over 20 years. Winemaker Laurie Hook builds on the acclaimed consistency and quality of this wine with the 2010 vintage, which marks her 28th harvest with Beringer
With few exceptions, the growing season was slightly cooler than normal overall with healthy grapevines throughout Napa Valley. Vintage 2010 welcomed the return of rainfall to the region with annual precipitation averaging about 20% percent above average, but without any incident or flooding. Overall, quantities were lighter in some sites but concentration and quality were excellent owing to a long, cool growing season. St. Helena Home vineyard again provides the foundation for this year's blend, which has been part of the Private Reserve blend since 1982. This vineyard was part of the original acreage that founders Jacob and Frederick Beringer purchased in 1875 with the Beringer estate. The longer, cooler vintage created ideal growing conditions for vineyards on the valley floor which is where the 2010 Private Reserve is sourced from almost exclusively. Much of the blend comes from Chabot vineyard, which was the entirety of the blend in the inaugural 1977 Private Reserve Cabernet. Grapes for the 2010 Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon were harvested between October 10th and October 27th.
The Beringer reserve vineyards offer Cabernet Sauvignon of such quality that a minimalist approach to winemaking has long defined this special blend. Each vineyard block was vinified and monitored carefully by Laurie, from the moment the fruit came into the winery at Harvest. Laurie used tailored pump-over techniques for optimal extraction, and aged the wines in hand-selected, custom-toasted barrels of new French Nevers oak (93% new). Each lot was aged for 18 months before selection of the final blend, to allow each vineyard to express the depth of its unique terroir.

(KSAZ) – Highly populated cities in Arizona have limits on how much water can be used from the ground. But rural counties typically do not have any restrictions.
It's causing major concerns in La Paz County where county leaders say farm companies from the middle east have moved to the area to grow alfalfa that is shipped overseas.
With no restriction on how much water they use, problems are starting to arise.
In the small county of La Paz, population 20,000 the wells are running dry. That's according to County Supervisor Holly Irwin.
"They're coming over here, buying land over here and using our natural resources, and we get nothing. Like I've said before, we don't get oil for free, how come we're allowing water to just be depleted for nothing," she said.

(this is her dominant personality type)
(she also shows elements of this type)
46 | San Francisco, California
Here I am to save the day.
She sees the big picture and can easily take the broad, long view of almost any topic. And she also has an adventurous side.
She enjoys new ideas and novel experiences which she wants to share with an enthusiastic partner.
She particularly enjoys people who like to play with abstract theories and ideas, provide insights, search for symbolic meanings in life and relationships and have a broad interest in the world.
A few excerpts from her personality test:
- I am more analytical and logical than most people
- I like to get to know my friends' deepest needs and feelings
- I am very sensitive to people's feelings and needs
Her 2 interests
in her own words...
Can you make me laugh? I love quick wit, goofiness, sarcasm and on occasion, a scathing comment. Friends say I'm easy-going and fairly low-maintenance. I feel absolutely comfortable in almost any situation (and if I don't, I fake it well). I like to try new things and have adventures, whether that's a trip to Nicaragua or a walk through a part of the City I've never seen. Talking to new people is fun. People watching is awesome. My family moved around a ton as I was growing up. I was born in San Jose and have lived in Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Colorado and Iowa. When people ask me where I'm from I go with Iowa, but really I'm about half and half Iowa/California (if you go by stereotypes of the 2 areas). I've been here for 15 years which is longer than I've lived anywhere. What I'm looking for here on Match : um... dating? Meeting new people to laugh with and have fun. I like self-deprecating humor, lightness about life, honesty and open-minds. I love being around people who challenge me, but care about me. Who will laugh with me and be optimistic, but have their feet planted in reality. Who can dream, but also make things happen. Please be somewhat active, because I love doing things... almost anything. So if you want to grab a beer and chat, maybe we become friends, maybe there's more. I'm interested either way... Side Note #1) I dislike the phrase, "Equally comfortable in flip-flops and high heels." It's impossible. Just by looking at them, you can see that high heels are not nearly as comfortable as flip-flops. That being said, I love dressing up, but I'm definitely more on the casual side... a favorite outfit is flip flops, skirt, tshirt. Side Note #2) I love to cook and share food with others. Side Note #3) I have a dog. She is sweet and hilarious. If you like dogs, you will love her.

OXFORD RL ended their six-match losing streak with a 36-16 victory away to bottom-of-the-table South Wales Scorpions in Kingstone Press Championship One.
The match at Maesteg RFC finished two minutes early due to an injury to Scorpions' Shaun Owens, who went down awkwardly after a legitimate tackle, A neck injury was suspected, but it was later discovered he had suffered a broken rib and ligament damage.
Scorpions went ahead with a Paul Emanuelli penalty, but he missed a second from 40 metres two minutes later.
Oxford scored the first try, Andrew Hoggins going over following a scrum. Jimmy Rowland converted, before adding a try of his own, but this time he could not convert.
A good passing move saw Marcus Brooker go over for Oxford's third, but Scorpions replied on 24 minutes with Owens touching down from dummy half. Emanuelli converted.
Oxford hit back four minutes later as Jack Briggs scored in the corner, Scorpions replying before the interval with an unconverted Barrie Phillips try.
The home side had a chance to level the scores before the half-time hooter, but wasted it when the ball was thrown into touch.
South Wales were first on the scoreboard in the second half, Chris Leyshon making a 50 metre dash and leaving the Oxford defence for dead.
Emanuelli missed the kick, but the Welsh side were only 18-16 down.
However, that was the closest they got as Oxford took control.
As they upped the tempo, Rory Sharratt was held up over the line, while a second attempt was ruled out for obstruction.
Glenn Osborn's short-range try just after the hour mark extended Oxford's lead to 22-16 and then former Scorpion Yannic Parker went over after a 30-metre run.
Tommy Connick converted to increase the advantage to 12 points and then added a penalty to make the score 30-16.
Alex Thompson rubbed salt into the Scorpions' wounds in the last five minutes with a try after an excellent team move. Connick converted.
* A HAT-TRICK of tries from Wes Newton, all converted by Andy Winfield, was not enough as Oxford Cavaliers went down 46-18 in Conference League South at Bristol Sonics, who recorded their first win of the season.
Newton is now the leading try-scorer in Conference South with 14.

Keep Your Dream Retirement From Turning Into a Nightmare
By Barbara Friedberg
Baby Boomers, is your retirement setup to be a dream or a nightmare?
Baby boomer Sean had a great management job for many years while his spouse, Suzi stayed home and took care of the family. They saved, a bit, in their bank savings account and a 401(k). Because Sean's salary was above average, they lived well, took nice vacations and enjoyed life. But during his late 40's Sean got laid off several times and found it harder and harder to land a new job. Fast forward several years and Sean is in his mid-50's still working, at a reduced salary, and worried he doesn't have enough retirement savings.
Keep Your Retirement Dream From Turning Into a Nightmare
According to a recent survey by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), approximately 50% of families age 55 or older don't have any retirement savings. That means no 401(k) or IRA account. These same older adults also lack a workplace pension, defined benefit plan, or other savings.
Another retirement study, by Transamerica, mentioned that more than half of respondents surveyed, "say they 'guessed' their retirement savings needs, while 20% estimated their retirement needs based on their current living expenses. Just 10% used a retirement calculator or completed a worksheet."
Plan now so that you'll be in the group that's prepared for retirement. Even if you're edging up to age 50, there's still time to keep your retirement dream from turning into a nightmare.
Here's a step-by-step retirement checklist to put you on sound footing for your golden years.
###1. Ask Yourself Some Tough Questions
Think about the following questions as retirement approaches.
Where will you live? Cost of living makes a tremendous difference in your retirement needs. Living in the Florida panhandle is more affordable than putting down retirement roots in sunny San Diego. According to aboutLife's best place to retire tool, your cost of living can decrease by as much as 35% if you move from San Diego to Florida.
What is your current financial picture? Take an honest look at all of your current assets, including cash, retirement savings in work accounts, and any other investment accounts. Examine what you're currently saving and where. Confront your debt liabilities as well. Do you have a mortgage, car loans and other types of loans and credit card debt? Also look at your monthly bills to see where you could cut current expenses to pump up retirement savings and investing.
Be honest with yourself and don't be afraid to make some trade-offs.
###2. Start Killing Your Debt Today
This is the time to get rid of debt, and lift a weight off your shoulders before retirement. Consider this scenario: If you're paying 15% interest on your current Visa card balance, and you're earning an average 7% rate of return on your retirement account, then you're actually losing 8% (15%-7%) by carrying that credit card balance. You'll be better off paying that credit card debt as quickly as you can and putting your money towards retirement.
In the same beautiful way that saving and investing compounds over time, carrying debt has the opposite effect to reduce your wealth. If you have any debt with high interest rates (car payments, credit card debt, etc.) then, in most cases, you are paying more money in interest than you are gaining from the returns on your investments. Which means you're losing money! This makes it difficult to get ahead with your retirement savings plan.
###3. Make a Date with Social Security.com
Make smart Social Security decisions now, to maximize your lifetime benefits. Once upon a time, people turned age 65 and started taking Social Security benefits. End of story. Not so today.
Most people know that the longer they wait to claim Social Security, the more money they will get. But very few people are aware that there are many different ways – often called Social Security claiming strategies - to maximize your total Social Security benefits, which result in tens of thousands of additional benefit dollars.
First step is to create your free account on the Social Security Administration's official website, where you can verify your earnings, keep your information up-to-date and examine your current Social Security account. Next, use a free Social Security calculator to learn about your options and how to get the most from your Social Security benefits.
Finally, don't miss the initial Medicare sign up dates. You may enroll as early as 3 months before your 65th birthday and registration continues until 3 months past your 65th birthday. Even if you're still working and don't think you'll need it immediately, sign up sooner rather than later to avoid higher premiums.
###4. Adjust Your Lifestyle Now for a Happy Retirement Later
Sean and Suzi lived life spending most of what they earned. They had a lovely home, newer cars, annual vacations and forgot to plan for retirement in their 30's and 40's. Now that they're in their 50's and staring at retirement, they've got some lifestyle decisions to consider.
No matter how old you are, it's never too late to plan for retirement. Don't avoid retirement planning, even if you're age 50 or older. There's still time to improve your retirement picture and now is a great time to make some lifestyle changes.
Look at your largest expenses, the house and the car first. Next tackle the smaller budget leaks. As the kids move out, you probably don't need as many bedrooms and common areas anymore. Downsizing is a great option to not only lower your monthly maintenance and utility bills, but also an opportunity to pocket the difference in your home equity.
Look at how buying a smaller home or becoming a renter can cut your housing costs and free up more cash for retirement. Consider this: If you take out a $165,000 15-year mortgage today with an interest rate of 4.5%, you'll have a monthly payment of $1,262 for principal and interest. Compare that to a $250,000 15-year mortgage with a 4.5% interest rate with a monthly payment of $1,912. That's already a $650 difference per month. Add on higher real estate taxes and homeowner's insurance for the more expensive mortgage and you'll probably be spending $1,000 more per month. On the other hand, you could downsize and put away that extra $12,000 ($1,000 per month x 12 months) each year into your retirement savings.
This is another strategy to free up retirement cash. Keep the older car, or sell the luxury model for a standard car with lower cost and maintenance charges. Even though this may be difficult, ask yourself whether the sacrifice is worth it in order to construct a more secure retirement.
Make the decision today to slim down living costs for a rosy retirement tomorrow. Be creative and cut expenses while maintaining your lifestyle.
###5. Think Like an Investment Advisor for a Wealthy Retirement
Use smart investment planning to maximize your retirement investing. You don't need to be a pro to invest wisely. You can invest on your own with a target date fund or a few index mutual funds.
Contribute as much as possible to your workplace retirement 401k. This increases your retirement savings and gives you a tax break today. If you can't swing the $18,000 max (plus $6,000 if you're over age 50), then sock away at least enough to get the employer match, which is free money going straight into your retirement piggy-bank.
Keep investment fees low by investing in low cost index mutual funds. High fees can eat up your retirement cash. Even investing guru, Warren Buffett supports the low cost index fund investing approach.
Match your investment allocation with your risk tolerance and age. While in your 30's and 40's you may want to allocate 70% or 80% of your investment assets (or portfolio) in stock mutual funds. As you age, you'll tilt your portfolio towards more bond mutual funds. By age 50 your portfolio may have 60% stock funds and 40% bond funds.
Rebalance your investments every year. For example, let's assume your desired asset allocation is 60% stocks and 40% bonds. At year end, as bond values increase and stock values fall, your asset allocation changes to 50% in stock funds and 50% in bond funds. In January you rebalance and sell some bond fund shares and buy more stock fund shares to return your portfolio to its original 60% stock:40% bond mix. In the end, rebalancing may help you grow your retirement savings and reduce your investment risk.
##Write Your Own Happy Retirement Ending
Although Sean and Suzi got a late start, they still have time to adjust. They're taking a big chunk of his salary and diverting it into their retirement accounts. They're cutting their lifestyle spending and checking out different options to relocate.
Just like Sean and Suzi, put yourself and your own retirement first. Small steps in your retirement planning can make a big difference. You don't need to spend hours planning for the future and adjusting every aspect of your life. You can take quick and easy steps instead. Just as there's still time to save for retirement, you also have time to learn about your options, decide what's best and start moving forward. One step at a time.

Honorable Mention
Deolis Guerra: The soon-to-be 18-year old isn't a power pitcher despite getting that reputation from the fans. He sits mostly in the 88-90 MPH range but the hope is that, at 6-foot-5 and still growing, he could throw harder once he physically matures. He makes up for his lack of power with impeccable control and his height allows him to throw downhill to give batters a different look.
Josh Stinson: Like Guerra, Stinson's size (6-foot-4) allows him to a great angle on his fastball. And like Guerra, somehow people are under the impression he's a power pitcher. Throwing primarily sinking two-seamers in the 82-89 range however, and mixing in a four-seamer that gets to 90 MPH, he relies more on command and pitching to contact to get opposing batters to harmlessly roll over on his fastball than on power.
Jorge Reyes: The 22-year old right-hander has a more explosive fastball than some of the other names in these rankings but lacks the command of his hard fastball to compete with them. Averaging 90-95 MPH with his fastball, he can bring it a couple of ticks higher at times but some scouts wonder if his lack of secondary pitches will prevent him from showcasing his heat at the upper levels.
Top Ten Fastballs
10) Jose De La Torre: At 5-foot-11 and listed at just 165 pounds, De La Torre isn't exactly an imposing figure on the mound. But when he snaps a 90-92 MPH fastball that can reach 94 MPH at times, opposing batters just don't see it coming. He struck out 46 batters in a little over 37 innings between Kingsport and Brooklyn last season and his fastball was a major reason why. His small stature and above average fastball reminds some scouts of former Mets' reliever Scott Strickland.
9) Eric Brown: Proving that lighting up the radar guns isn't always important, Brown tore up the NY-Penn League last season, going 7-1 with a 1.16 ERA for the Brooklyn Cyclones despite possessing a fastball that sits just 88-91 MPH. What he lacks in pure velocity however he more than makes up with impeccable command, great movement, and incredible sinking action. Throw in the fact he's 6-foot-6 and throws downhill, his fastball is quite effective.
8) Nick Carr: Despite going just 3-3 with a 4.88 ERA in his professional debut with the Kingsport Mets last season, Carr has one of the more electrifying fastballs in the entire Mets farm system. The solidly built 19-year old already sits 91-93 MPH with his heater and can hit the mid-90's at times. Some scouts believe he has even more velocity he has yet to tap but all agree he needs to command his fastball better for it to be a truly special weapon.
7) Shane Hawk: The southpaw hasn't pitched in over two years after having surgeries to repair his labrum and rotator cuff. Scheduled to resume his career in 2007, it might take him a little while to re-discover his 90-93 MPH fastball that topped out at 95 MPH back in 2004. But after adding 15 pounds and reporting to camp in the best shape of his life, there are few who doubt he can resurrect his once plus fastball.
6) Tobi Stoner: Stoner isn't the hardest thrower in the system at all, but what he does possess is arguably the best combination of a four-seam fastball and a sinking two-seamer. He can run his four-seamer up in the zone at 94 MHP and can sink his two-seamer consistently in the 90 MPH with great life. Throw in his advanced command of both fastballs, there's no wonder why some Mets insiders believe he could move quickly through the minor leagues.
5) Bobby Parnell: Parnell has a great sinking power two-seamer that sits 90-92 MPH and compliments it with a power four-seamer that can hit 95 MPH. He has great command of both fastballs and his herky-jerky delivery gives him an advantage against opposing batters as they have a hard time picking up his heat. He could advance quickly if the Mets decided to move him to the bullpen down the road.
4) John Holdzkom: A huge figure on the mound, the only thing scarier than his 6-foot-8 and 275 pound build is his fastball that has been clocked as fast as 98 MPH. With the departures of Matt Lindstrom and Henry Owens to the Marlins this past offseason, Holdzkom's fastball is now the quickest. He does need some work however in the command of his fastball and it's the reason why he doesn't rank higher on this list.
3) Kevin Mulvey: Like most of the names on this list, Mulvey has a four-seam fastball that can reach the 95 MPH plateau at times. He sits consistently in the 90-93 MPH range and he gets incredible sinking life with his two-seamer at the same velocity. He spots his fastball at will and can mix up his speeds to give opposing batters a different look, including the recent development of a cut-fastball.
2) Philip Humber: Once possessing a fastball that reached 96 MPH in college, Humber didn't show that kind of velocity with the Mets until his return from Tommy John surgery last season. The former Rice University standout sits comfortably in the 91-94 MPH range with great command of his fastball and can hit 96-97 MPH at times, giving him a plus fastball as he sets his sights on breaking the Mets rotation.
1) Mike Pelfrey: What makes Pelfrey such a special pitching prospect is his plus-plus fastball. Not only does he own a power sinking two-seamer that sits 92-95 MPH like Chien-Ming Wang of the Yankees, but he boasts a power four-seamer that can hit the upper-90's with regularity. He also gets a ton of movement with both fastballs and he commands both exceptionally well. If not for the needed development of his breaking ball, he would have secured a spot atop the rotation in the big leagues already, just on the strength of his fastball.

Album: The Best
Well my life is in Thy hands oh Lord I give it all to Thee
And until death I carry on till the last leaf shall fall from the tree
Well I came to Jesus as you are weary alone and sad
I found in him a resting place and he has made made me glad
Oh keys of kings take hold on me let me teach Thy love for Thee

Oh shine your light let your sad heart seem live up Thy voice with he
His love will guide you to his arms when the last leaf shall fall from the tree

Chamonix is a bit like London in the Spring.
The slightest hint of sun and a warm 12 degrees means all the girls bust out their short shorts, tees and the braver ones, their bikinis.
Myself included.
So when I woke to a beautiful Spring day, I rustled up a group and we headed down to Les Gaillands for a picnic and some fun in the sun.
I suppose 12 degrees isn't quite short-wearing weather, but what the hell? I need to kick start my summer tan asap.
Covered in snow just weeks ago, the grass was lush and a perfect spot for us to have our lunch.
Sadly none of us seasonaires have bbq's so I picked up some fresh produce and made us sandwiches stuffed with ham, avocado, cheese, mustard & roasted pepper.
Which were pretty good I was told.
And we shared wine in picnic mugs.
And lapped up the sun. Most of us have goggle tans to get rid of after all.
Taylor the genius had the bright idea of sitting on plastic & socks to avoid getting wet. I could have saved myself grass rash!
I really love it down here when the weather is fine. It's nice sometimes to turn the computer off, leave the phone away and just enjoy. It doesn't really matter where go, so long as it's outside and you're with friends or family.
I think it's nice that everyone comes down to picnic, play football or watch the rock climbers. It kind of feels like lunch-break at school. Only with better food. And wine. And you don't have to go back to class.
And the fur-babies join in too. France is so dog-friendly. I think all pooches would dream of living here.
For some reason there always seems to a slack line set up here too.
So after lunch, Cormac decided to give us a bit of entertainment and give slack lining a try.
I wasn't quite as successful, standing in this pose for quite a few seconds. I should have probably read this guide on how to slack line first.
I was determined to at least remove both feet from the rock. Which I did for a few brief moments.
Taylor did much better than me.
It was rather fun. It's great fitness I've been told. You need the utmost balance hence working your core muscles.
The rest of the afternoon was spent playing frisbee.
And watching the rock climbers. I really am in awe of how they manage to climb bare rock face without the slightest fear of falling to their death if their climbing partner lets go of the rope. I know that technically that's not possible, but still.
Naturally, Cormac gave it a try and for his second time, he did rather well.
The others wanted to get in on the activity too.
I'm not sure who's idea it was to do group burpees but it was quite funny to watch.
I think the maximum anyone did was 8 – but check out this crazy person who has the Guiness World Record for doing 1,840 burpees in 1 hour.
Cormac must have gotten quite a work out as he needed to take a swim in the freezing lake to cool off.
Which the girls loved.
And he gave us quite the show.
I love days like this, just lazing around in the sun with friends – I can't wait for Summer.
I finished the day meandering home through town with the mister. I got him to take a few snaps of my new Spring look.
Gosh it feels good to be in shorts again!

Stunting is very low height for age. It is a failure to reach one's genetic potential for height. It is caused by chronic malnutrition.
Stunting is endemic in South Asia, with about 64 million children (under the age of five) affected by stunted growth.
Findings from the 2015 National Nutrition Survey reveal that although 98 percent of households in Bhutan have access to food, 88 percent of
children aged between six and 23 months are not getting the minimum amount of required nutrition.
According to the UNICEF Bhutan Representative, Rudolf Schwenk, despite recent progress in Bhutan, one in every five children still remains stunted.
The South Asian countries have endorsed the global target to reduce the number of stunted children by 2025 by 40 percent.

On Tuesday, September 1st, the Guatemalan Congress decided to strip Otto Perez Molina of immunity for prosecution over the cases of corruption under investigation by the Guatemalan judicial system. The following day, the Prosecutor´s Office announced that an arrest warrant was issued against him and then, in the early hours of this Thursday, Perez Molina announced his resignation. "We are experiencing revolutionary times", said Sandra Moran, Guatemalan feminist activist, in an interview with Real World Radio. She also made reference to the massive mobilizations that took place in the past few months that led to this unprecedented event in the country.
"We´ve been having social mobilizations like we didn´t have in a long time, aiming towards a transformation, a "refoundation" of the State", said Moran with reference to the mobilizations throughout all the Central American country that started in April.
The social movements of the country are gathered in the Social and Popular Assembly. In addition to the resignation and trial against former Vicepresident Roxana Baldetti, and Otto Perez Molina´s resignation itself, the Guatemalan activist talked about other victories gained in the past months: "a massive involvement by the people, social movements and universities. We´ve accomplished a lot in terms of organization and citizen proposals. All this in a peaceful way", she stated.

Today, Allen Stewart Konigsberg (aka Woody Allen) turns 70, and in the past 12 months he has directed and delivered two films – Melinda and Melinda (among his worst), and Match Point (which may be his best). So the first thing to remark on is the work rate.
If we look at people who are of his generation – at Martin Scorsese, Francis Coppola and Peter Bogdanovich - let's count the numbers. Coppola, Scorsese and Bogdanovich have all directed about 20 times. Woody Allen's number is twice as large. There are plenty of bad films in that total, but in the end you have to acknowledge that Allen directs movies in the way Bonnard painted pictures and Graham Green wrote novels. It was habit; it was practice; it was a regular life. And I like artists who are too serious ever to have known artists' block.
Next point: although he has been a contemporary of Sylvester Stallone, Jackie Chan, Steven Seagal and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Allen cherishes weaklings and jerks. Despite the stirring example of most of his presidents (from Kennedy to Bush), despite the concurrent history of American expansion and aggression in the world, and despite the constant stress on manliness in his culture (not least that of the movies), Woody Allen favours nerds, nebbishes, failures, laughing stocks and despised intellectuals. He retains a wistful notion that men (and women) with knowledge, reason, sensitivity and responsibility might yet be revealed as the inescapable core of society. In other words – and in the context of American film, this is shocking – he presents characters like ourselves.
Despite the evidence of his being a film-maker, he is essentially a writer. With occasional assistance (Marshall Brickman co-wrote Annie Hall), Allen has written all of his movies. Indeed, he has invented them. People sometimes lament that he tends to repeat the same few situations over and over again, but he does not adapt novels or plays. He creates stories, and some argue that nothing bespeaks the bankruptcy of modern American movies more than its chronic need to remake old films and adapt novels.
More than that, in an age in which motion pictures have tended to abandon talk, intricate character and the plot development of the one plus the other, Allen's movies are full of talking and listening heads. No matter the huge stress on special effects, impossible spectacle and computer generated imagery, Allen photographs faces – and trusts that they have the potential to be more moving, more beautiful and more spectacular than any explosion of solid or contrived matter.
His stories concern decisions and the way in which we use talk to justify ourselves. He sees a world in which the unavoidable human burden of seeking truth battles with the lifelong behavioural yieldings to dishonesty. Allen does not often treat characters as "villains", and it's plain still that at the age of seventy he is attracted to human looks, oddity, human nature and weakness. It follows that nearly all his people are caught in lies (white and black), cheating, dissembling, compromise or self-protection. And to the degree that his stories observe a social grouping – family life, life at work, a company putting on a show, or whatever – he leaves it to us to judge as best we can.
If there was ever any doubt remaining, Match Point establishes Allen as a man who no longer trusts or relies on the pragmatic, professional enforcement of morality by society. In Crimes and Misdemeanors, it was clear that he knew there might be no catching of guilty parties, let alone public rebuke. And Match Point – a study in ambition, money and romance, set entirely in England – leaves us to watch the actions of a cold-blooded murderer. And whereas, Allen plainly comes from a Jewish upbringing, he may be compared with another Jewish writer – Harold Pinter – as men who still feel the shadow of guilt and consequence no matter that they seem stranded in a godless world.
The comparison is more interesting still, for whereas Pinter was always a writer in whom the hesitations of menace left space for guilty or nervous laughter, so I am no longer sure that Woody Allen deserves or wishes to be measured as a comic. Yes, he was stand-up comedian for some years as he began a career. He has been a comic fool as an actor. And certainly he made early films (Bananas, Sleeper, Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex) that were full of slapstick and other comic routines, still the irony that sees unattended misdemeanor (or moral offence) has weighed increasingly in his most personal work. And we should recall that right after Annie Hall, the film that made his reputation secure and which was in many ways a satire on Californian life, he made Interiors – a bleak, cold portrait of psychic pressure in family life, an alleged homage to Ingmar Bergman, but no sort of appreciation of life or fun.
Match Point is a portrait of love and money, suffused with distaste. But Woody has seldom been as wary of love and passion. There was a youthful air in Allen films once of how the characters (and the director perhaps) just longed to fall in love. Equally, there was a suspicion that Woody Allen made and cast his movies to meet adorable women. But the love affair between Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Scarlett Johansson in Match Point is unusually urgent and irrational, and filled with intimations of ruin. The yielding to sex in a wheat field in the rain is more unrestrained than anything Allen has done before. And the lucidity with which the film sees this heat turning to ice is just as striking and frightening. Coming on the trail of too many recent comedies that seemed feeble and thin, Match Point helps remind us that this is the maker of Interiors, Stardust Memories, Crimes and Misdemeanours, The Purple Rose of Cairo and Radio Days – films that are not really comic, but bitter-sweet musings on the way life's slippery texture will trap most of us.
Now, all this is good, but there are sterner points to be made. So shy and so neurotic, I'm not sure that Woody Allen is actually cut out to be a director. Film is a grind and an ordeal, and in the end the director needs to like people and actors a lot if they are to be protected. Allen's attitude to actors, I think, is very questionable – and most distressingly exemplified in the actor, over the years, he has cast the most, himself.
On the whole, Allen has liked to work with the same people behind the camera. He has often persisted with actresses until the relationship broken down – thus Diane Keaton and Mia Farrow, though in the latter case one can nearly feel Allen's loss of love as the films go on. Beyond that, he likes to sign up every promising newcomer who comes along. And there's no doubt he has taste. But almost alone among directors who work regularly, he has not really kept up a stock company of supporting players. It's as if he didn't want to build trust or go too deep with people. And as a result, his films tend to be crowded out with busy, superficial performances by men and women eager to please him but establishing little real contact with the director. Allen does not like to get close to actors, and I think that chill is palpable and disturbing. It also leaves a vacuum too often that ends up being filled with the disastrous fussiness of Allen himself. He is so good a writer, that casting himself amounts to self-betrayal.
This is a very serious handicap, and it is obviously entangled with Allen's sense of identity. It has helped build up the body of films that are somewhere between bad and forgettable – and that sum is more than it should be in an artist of his own stature. On the other hand, to cast other actors in lead roles would be to require in Allen an ability to articulate and communicate what those characters are about that is deeply wearying to him. Nevertheless, by now we have ample evidence of an extra fluency and complexity in those films where he is not acting. The depth and concentration of Match Point – or of Radio Days and The Purple Rose of Cairo – come directly from the effectiveness of a situation from which Allen has been able to exclude himself.
He has taste, but very narrow taste. He loves Manhattan, but to the extent that he hardly likes to be anywhere else. He loves jazz and popular song, but his tastes seem to stop in 1945 or so with his own Dixieland style. It's startling to realize how seldom he has left New York, and I think it's salutary that the two chief departures – Annie Hall and Match Point – should fare so well. Like any natural observer of life, Allen is enriched by new worlds and places. And the benefit shows in the story he thinks of. His Londoners in Match Point are nearly comically rich, but he looks at London and their country home is fresh eyes, amazed, but bitter and disapproving. He should travel more, I suspect. After all, his New York is still very much the city of his childhood. His films don't exactly keep up with the racial diversity of the new Manhattan.
So there's good and bad – which is exactly what you might expect from Allen's own pictures as the imprint of his mind. At the very least, keeping up with him over the years has been a pleasure and a series of surprises. As and when he stops, it may be easier to see that he was not quite the funny man he pretended to be, but one of those – like Preston Sturges and Billy Wilder – who knew that comedy was a very serious business.Reuse content
