What you can do
Westacre's latest
The greens of Westacre have matured and darkened. Little green apples and damsons are swelling on the trees. We're watching our first raspberries grow on the canes we planted just this spring. Life is full of promise.
The next couple of months promise to be very busy. We are about to start implementing the centre piece of our eco-renovation: the external wall insulation.
Alex has carefully calculated how many boards of insulation we will need. And how many rolls of mesh and pots of render. On Monday a man came to do a test to determine the length of fastenings we will need to fix the boards to the wall. And we have finally decided exactly what colour our house is going to be. We have quotes for scaffolding and the materials are ordered. Everything is ready to go!
With 15 cm of polystyrene added to the outside of our house, we hope to be able to live all but the coldest days of the year without additional heating. That will save a lot of carbon dioxide, especially if we manage to heat all our water with solar panels as well.
Just as well we have these long summer days to do all the work. We are not really morning people, so it is good that the sun is still out into the evening as we carry on working right up to dinner time.
The long days draw the fullness of life out of the trees and plants, making them flourish towards their life's purpose. What is the power of the Sun drawing out of you at the moment? The meditation below will help you align with that seasonal flourishing.
Blessings of the summer days,
Less than a week ago, we passed the point of greatest light at the Summer Solstice. From this point, the days start to shorten and we begin our journey into the darkness of Winter.
But for now, Summer is here and warm days will be with us for a few months yet. At this time of year, the natural world fulfils its purpose. Animals rear their young and plants ripen their fruits and seeds. They use all the energy they receive from sun, soil and rain to reach their highest potential.
This mediation can be done anywhere, but it is great to work with the energy of the Sun directly. Do please be sensible, though. The Sun is very powerful at this time of the year. Depending on your skin type, you may choose to sit in the dappled shade of a tree. Do your meditation in the first few hours after sunrise, when the Sun hasn't reached its full power yet. Drink plenty of water before and after your meditation.
Sit down in your chosen place and get yourself comfortable. When you feel settled, turn your attention to your breath. Just allow it to do its own thing. Simply notice its rhythm, flowing in and out of your body.
Take your attention deeper inward. Become aware of the area around your heart. Stay with the sensations you feel there. Don't judge or try to change anything. Just notice what your heart feels like.
Notice now, that a small light is burning in your heart. A tiny light in the darkness. Watch it for a while. Stay with the light at your core.
When you feel ready, shift your awareness to your whole body. Feel the warmth of the Sun on your skin. Enjoy the light and the heat. Be with the Sun.
Then take your awareness out a bit further, to the edge of your aura. Can you feel where your awareness ends? How far do you reach outside your skin? Try to get a sense of that. When you do, feel where your aura touches the light and warmth of the Sun. Notice how the two interact. Is there any resistance? Is the healing power of the Sun flowing in freely? Just notice how that is.
Only you can judge if your aura is too tight, too resistant to the Sun. If you feel it is, try consciously making it a bit more transparent. If you feel overwhelmed by the power of the sunlight, you may want to make it a little denser, so you have a little spiritual shade. Have a play around with this until you and the Sun are comfortable with each other.
Then begin to breathe the Sun into your body. Gently breathe the golden light in through your skin. Let its warmth and light slowly, gradually fill you.
Eventually, the light of the Sun you are breathing in will meet with the tiny light of your heart. Notice what happens when it does. Your experience will be unique and all your own. There may be another area of protection around your heart. If you feel that, just notice it and let the Sun touch it. Play with making it more or less transparent.
Let your heartlight and the sunlight talk to each other for as long as you like. You may only want to stay there for a few moments, or you may want to let the Sun light you up for a long time. Don't judge yourself or your experience. Just let it be as it is.
When you feel ready, become aware again of your heartlight as separate from the light of the Sun. Feel your body, strengthened by the radiant light, as your own body again. Feel the edge of your aura, still dancing with the Sun but clearly there as your edge.
Now ask your heart what it would most love to do next. Just let that question drop into your heart space and listen for an answer.
When you hear the answer, give thanks and commit to your heart to follow its advice. Our deepest heart's desires are the way Spirit shows us the way to our fullest potential.
Now let any excess energy flow into the Earth. It is pure sunlight refracted by your own unique self. It will go to feed and heal the beings that live around you.
When you are complete, gently start moving. Do drink and eat something to ground yourself. And do something practical and tangible towards your heart's desire.
May you flourish in the warm light of the Sun.
Featured link: The Great Story
The links I feature here are usually ones I have stumbled across while surfing the internet for things that interest me. They speak to my world view and hold a seed of a new culture taking seed in the cracks of the old. I hope you find them interesting too.
This week I have learned about The Great Story. It is the story of the origin and evolution of our Universe told as a myth that gives meaning to our human lives. In the telling of the story, we emerge as stardust come alive, able to reflect on the beauty of the world we have inherited.
The Great Story stands in contrast to the Judeo-Christion creation story where humans are made in the image of a god who is outside and separate from his creation. We are given dominion over the Earth, able to use it as we please.
It has become abundantly clear that this vision of ourselves as separate and superior isn't doing us and our brother and sister creatures any good. It is time to tell a new story about ourselves. One where we stand together with each other and the more-than-human-world as beings emerging from the same origin, sharing the same world.
The Great Story isn't over. It is still telling itself, and as humans we are responsible for how it will continue here on Earth. It is a story that can be told by people who have faith in the Divine and those who put their faith in science. It is a great epic that we are part of and continuing to write together.
For more about the Great Story and ways to use it in education and the growing of the culture in the cracks, go here: http://www.thegreatstory.org/what_is.html
What you can do
Take some time to listen to what your Sun-empowered heart asks of you. We are following our own hearts' desire at Westacre. We continue to tell the story on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Westacreproject), Twitter (https://twitter.com/HildeWestacre), and our blog (http://www.westacre.org.uk/category/project/).

John Paul II on Why Faith and Reason go Together
Amid a Hostile Modernity, an Invitation to Dialogue
LONDON, OCT. 11, 2003 (Zenit) - Not all commentators are impressed by the 25th anniversary of John Paul II. The British daily Guardian's writer Hywel Williams, in an Oct. 4 article, described this papacy as one that "has been relentlessly hostile towards modernity, castigating all questioning as faithlessness." In addition to rejecting the Pope's ecumenical efforts as a sham, Williams argued that John Paul II has promoted a "peasant church" based on unquestioning obedience.
This sort of characterization of John Paul II as promoting a backward vision of the Church and its doctrine is not new, and is often accompanied by sneering references to an allegedly medieval Polish view of society. However, these writers usually show little signs of familiarity with the outpouring of John Paul II's magisterium in the last 25 years, or of his philosophical works that predate his papal election.
In fact, those who call themselves "liberal" or "progressive" often prefer to dismiss religion as inferior to their enlightened ideas. Dinesh D'Souza, writing in the Wall Street Journal's editorial page Oct. 6, drew attention to a recent claim by philosopher Daniel Dennett. The latter, writing in the New York Times, said that atheists now favor being referred to as "brights."
Counting himself among this group, Dennett explained that a "bright" rejects a supernatural view of the world. "Mr. Dennett," noted D'Souza, "like many atheists, is confident that atheists are simply brighter -- more rational -- than religious believers."
Chicago school
The superiority of rational inquiry was also upheld by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. In a readers forum published Feb. 20 on the Web site of the British daily Independent, Dawkins affirmed his atheism. He contended that belief in God is something you can grow out of, just as children stop believing in Father Christmas, a.k.a. Santa Claus. Asked what he would do if after death he found himself facing up to St. Peter at the gates of heaven, Dawkins replied that he would admit his error: "But I was wrong for the right reasons. Those guys in there were right. But just look at their reasons."
The discipline of economics also provides ample scope for thinkers who find little time for religion's role in society, as Robert Nelson explained in a 2001 book. In "Economics as Religion," he lamented how the social sciences have for many become the religion of the modern age.
Economists, Nelson said, became the proselytizers of a form of secular religion that based its hopes on material progress. He noted that one of the founders of the influential University of Chicago economics department, Frank Knight, held that one of the main threats to freedom was the Christian religion.
A later generation of Chicago economists, including the 1992 Nobel Prize winner Gary Becker, dismiss as an illusion biblical teachings such as the Ten Commandments. Instead, they see economic self-interest as the key force driving human behavior. Nelson observed, however, that no one has been able to devise a value-neutral economics, and that whatever economic method is selected, there is bound to be a set of value assumptions behind it.
Complementary, not opposed
John Paul II probed the relationship between human reason and religious faith in the encyclical "Fides et Ratio," published five years ago last Sept. 14. In it the Pope observed how people are driven to discover the truth, in order "to understand themselves better and to advance in their own self-realization" (No. 4). He added: "On her part, the Church cannot but set great value upon reason's drive to attain goals which render people's lives ever more worthy" (No. 5).
But the Pope also defended the value of Christian Revelation, explaining that it is an "absolute truth, it summons human beings to be open to the transcendent, while respecting both their autonomy as creatures and their freedom" (No. 15). As such, it is not the product of human reason, but an anticipation of the ultimate vision of God.
John Paul II argues that faith and reason complement each other. Within the natural order of human intelligence we desire to know the truth about what surrounds us. "This is what has driven so many inquiries, especially in the scientific field, which in recent centuries have produced important results, leading to genuine progress for all humanity" (No. 25).
This process of inquiry does not remain only at a scientific level. People search for values that can be chosen and pursued in their lives, "because only true values can lead people to realize themselves fully, allowing them to be true to their nature." The encyclical continues: "The truth of these values is to be found not by turning in on oneself but by opening oneself to ...

Preservationist Is Facing New Challenges
For 40 years, Bill Lavicka fought noisily to save old Chicago churches, houses and other neighborhood architecture from the wrecking ball. He worked quietly to restore buildings all over the city, rehabilitating dozens in his whimsical style.
One day in 2004, Mr. Lavicka lamented that for 17 years he had been maintaining his odd and out-of-the-way Vietnam Survivors Memorial on Oakley Boulevard, and he was starting to worry about who would look after it when he was gone.
"How many more 17 years do you think I got left?" he said.
This year Mr. Lavicka, an outspoken Chicago activist, artist and real estate developer, now 66, received a diagnosis of Stage 4 colon cancer, and he is counting time in far smaller increments....

text: The extent of voter turnout in the 2014 European Parliamentary (EP) election is widely viewed as a critical test for European democracy. Turnout in the EP elections has steadily declined over three decades, from 62% in the first election in 1979 to 43% in the 2009 election (EP Liaison Office undated). There is great concern that the legitimacy of the EU is at stake should there be a further slide in voter turnout.

Originally written on Blue Seat Blogs | Last updated 11/16/14
If you've been frequenting this blog for a while, then you know that we aren't exactly fans of the plus/minus statistic. It's useful in some cases, especially when measuring some prospect's defensive value when they are in a shutdown role (Sam Noreau and Peter Ceresnak come to mind here). But at the NHL level, when other metrics are readily available, the plus/minus stat has very little value. One of the main problems seen with plus/minus is that it is a counting stat that relies heavily on ice time. When ice time is involved, it skews the numbers –positively or negatively– for those that simple play more. Those playing on high scoring teams –specifically when matching up against weaker lines– generally have higher plus/minus ratings. The best example of this being skewed is with the Washington Capitals. Not exactly noted for their defensive prowess, players like Alex Semin (+36 in 2009-2010) and Mike Green (+39 in 2009-2010) had outrageous ratings. Another problem is that it doesn't account for the quality of competition being faced. Ryan Callahan finished last season with a -8 rating, but no one ever suggests he's a poor defensive player. Marc Staal finished with a -7 rating. Ruslan Fedotenko (-7) and Brandon Prust (-1) also didn't have favorable ratings. But you don't say they are bad defensive players. Those five are all given ice time against top quality competition, and expected to shut them down at even strength. But if you're looking solely at plus/minus, then Marian Gaborik (+15) was one of the best defensive forward for the Rangers. So what stat do we use to try to counter the clear faults in the plus/minus stat? Well, the guys at BTN use a metric called +/- per 60, which eliminates the ice time factor and gives every player an even playing field. It doesn't address the quality of competition or quality of teammates playing, but it's definitely a more fair metric than raw plus/minus. To my knowledge, there is no metric that accounts for QoC and QoT in addition to eliminating the ice time factor from plus/minus. The closest metric that combines them all is GVT, but there are also additional stats used in the GVT formula. Personally, I prefer the combination of GVT, RCorsi (which we use here frequently), zone starts, and QoC to get a full picture of a player's defensive value. Tweet

Paragon Hotel Corporation, a hotel management company in Phoenix, Arizona, has named Brookfield Suites Hotel & Convention Center as the recipient of its 2013 Service Excellence Award. The award recognizes Brookfield Suites Hotel for their expanded efforts to improve the client experience and is measured through the customer service scores for the Paragon Hotel Corporation's entire company portfolio.
"I'm proud of the work Brookfield Suites is doing to improve customer service," said Dave Kingston, senior vice president and director of operations for Paragon Hotel Corporation. "The staff has all bonded together to ensure we keep our current clients happy and keep them coming back."
"We have been listening to our clients, and we recently expanded the hours of nightly hosted Manager's Reception," Brookfield Suites general manager Kirk Drusch said. "We have heard great feedback from our corporate clients especially. They recognize that this is a unique offering for this area, and they have really appreciated that we observed their busy schedules and wanted to accommodate them."
The Hotel's Manager's Reception was recently extended from 5:30-9:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, which are the busiest nights for corporate clients at the hotel. The reception remains from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Formal guidance says too little for critics
"Congress questions financial management consolidation"
The first formal guidance for the Financial Management Line of Business offers too little help for agencies and contractors trying to plan for the program, some analysts say.
The guidance came from the Financial Systems Integration Office — part of the General Services Administration — with assistance from the Office of Management and Budget. Issued in May, it was a draft document. A final version is expected soon.
Input released a report earlier this month stating that the guidance relies heavily on the standard A-76 process to govern competitions under the line of business, in effect telling officials little they did not already know.
"We were expecting, along with the rest of the vendor community, more in the way of actual guidance," said James Krouse, acting director of public-sector market analysis at Input. "To fall back and say that in a lot of cases A-76's standing rules will apply, that's fine, but you could have told us that a year ago. What's new?"
The line of business initiative is an OMB effort to consolidate financial management systems, using some agencies as service providers. As agencies upgrade their financial management systems, they should seek to become a shared service provider, migrate their financial management systems to an agency that already has that status or contract with a qualified vendor. The A-76 provisions kick in when agencies go outside their organizations for the services.
The use of A-76 suggests that agencies would have an advantage. Under normal A-76 rules, private-sector competitors must show they can save 10 percent or $10 million to unseat an agency's employees.
If the competition involves another agency that does not have to show those savings, companies are at a decided disadvantage, according to the Input analysis.
The guidance makes it feasible for agencies to take as long as a decade to determine if they will migrate their operations, making the potential market for a shared service provider unpredictable, according to Input.
In the long term, Krouse said, it is unclear whether the lines of business initiatives will amount to much. The 10-year time frame is a long period for a political initiative, he said.
"You're talking about two or possibly three election cycles," he said. "This whole idea of lines of business is not fully cooked now, and we haven't seen Congress embrace this with any degree of enthusiasm."
The guidance does give contractors and agencies some starting points, Krouse added, but not enough to comfortably lock in strategies.
"Any plan you make, be prepared to change," he said. "The entrenched contractors have a marked advantage because they have the ability to strengthen relationships with the agencies that are going to be their partners going forward."
Other industry observers question the wisdom of the shared services approach, which they see as overly prescriptive.
"If I get together the best minds around financial management in the government, you can create a set of general standards that anybody can meet in the government, or any institution," said one industry insider who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The government should set common metrics and standards, the insider said, but agencies can meet such requirements without OMB mandating that they take a certain approach.
Larry Allen, executive vice president of the Coalition for Government Procurement, said he does not believe there is much enthusiasm for the initiative outside OMB.
"It's an administration initiative that is closely linked to A-76, and everybody knows that's been this administration's primary mover," he said. "If it was something everybody wanted to be on the front burner, it would be dressed up to catch everybody's attention."
The Coalition for Government Procurement has not established a formal position on the lines of business, but "we generally have a wary eye," Allen said, adding that government solutions should be less prescribed.
"Agencies need to consider how best to meet the objective of good, sound financial management practices to meet the agencies' mission needs and priorities," said an OMB spokeswoman in response to the critique. "OMB's guidance and framework provide the agencies the information they need to access the process that will help them meet their goals."

With a bunch of restaurants, cafes, bars, ice cream, movies and small stores, this area is excellent to trolling around, see people and things, and then have some nice food.
We were recently staying in nearby Medford but had to travel to the Davis Square subway station frequently in order to get Red Line subway trains into Boston. The trains always seemed to run frequently but the Service 96 bus that we had to take to and from to Medford was more often late than on time. Could do better...
Great for Dates or lazy days in town. THere are many quaint shops and great places to eat. But, bring your checkbook - this hipster paradise is not cheap
You can always count on the 99 for good food, free popcorn, one dollar cheese and cracker plate, cold beer or a good drink, and friendly atmosphere. Their salads are excellent as is their baked scrod. They have plenty of Televisions so you can catch whatever sporting event that interests you! There are 99 good reasons to visit the 99!
I really like to go out here, have some dinner and then move from bar to bar and chat with friends. I like the Boston Burger Company to start with and then move on to the bars in the neighborhood.
If you enjoy trying all different ethnic foods this is the place to go. A great place for date night as you can find food, music, shows and great places for a drink. If you're into finding inexpensive books, clothes and treasures try the Goodwill Store, you never know what you might find! I grew up in Davis Square during...
Windows were displayed nicely with several places to have a light meal or a drink. Had a nice atmosphere to it.
I enjoy Davis Square. It is clean and safe and there is always something you can do. Their restaurants vary from fast food chains to casual dining. There are also a few shops to pop into.
People love it there especially the younger generation 30-40. There are a lot of places to eat, a movie theater, Johnny D's with great entertainment. I live in Somerville right up the street from
Davis Square. There is something for everyone. A pizza place with a bowling alley inside, ice cream shop, starbucks, and bars.
Davis square is a fun place to be. Lots of restaurants and shops. You see people from all walks of life. Very Live and energetic. I have noticed that Boston has lots of areas called squares that people gather and mingle. Highly recommend Davis Square.

da Bears
The only thing I hate more than the Bears (well, maybe the Vikings too) is Jay Cutler.
I don't know...
There's just something about this guy that rubs me the wrong way.
Chicago in general is kind like that with me too.
Big city and all that stuff sure, but there's just something about that place I don't care for.
There's an attitude toward us here in Wisconsin that they have that looks down on us. So any time 'little' Green bay can stick it to the big shots in Chicago I'm all for it.
Or maybe it's just the traffic there.
Did I mention I can't stand Jay Cutler?

I loved that I got to customize what I wanted on the card. And since I didnt want to put my email or phone number on the card I just made my address bigger and spread it out and they still came out awesome!!'"
"Offers a nice touch for those you keep in contact with. We are always on the go and have moved twice in the last two years so we figured with the next more permanent move we would send out a notification with our new address listed. Great paper and design - we are very pleased!"
"Excellent design & prompt delivery. 5 stars! Have ordered multiple different invites, etc. ... Always "classy". Comments from friends/family always positive. People notice the difference ... Top Notch!"
"We love the look and quality of these. They were the perfect short and sweet message we needed to quickly get out the word that we had moved. And they were delivered in almost half the time that was estimated for delivery! Very impressed!"

Too many of our contemporary yeshiva high schools are seeking only the Eisavs among the applicants, Rabbi Shlomo Goldberg quotes a prominent rosh yeshiva as saying in his essay in the current issue of Klal Perspectives on High School Boys Chinuch. The rosh yeshiva meant that the high school yeshivos are seeking only those who are fully formed – asui, like Eisav – in both their intellectual abilities and their dedication to Gemara learning.
Rabbi Goldberg suggests that the source of that attitude may lie in a distortion of the widely quoted rabbinic dictum "a thousand enter and one goes out to hora'a." Yeshivos vie to produce "the one who goes out to hora'a," and the status of a yeshiva is determined by the quality of its most accomplished graduates in Gemara learning. Parents go along by seeking entrance to the "best" yeshivos for their sons. The race to produce "the one," and the competition to be the yeshiva for "only the best boys" yeshiva it leads to, can have several adverse consequences.
(I should emphasize that I am speaking theoretically. Rabbi Goldberg was writing in the American context, and I am in no position to evaluate … Read More >>
