2012 Domaine Cyrot-Buthiau Bourgogne Rouge (Maison Dieu)
Review Date: 2-3-2015
OK, folks, this is one of those secret places in Burgundy. It is only Bourgogne Rouge in name, but the secret, as in much of Burgundy is location, location, location. This single vineyard lies just south of Beaune, along the beautiful row of tall trees on the RN74. On one side of the road it is Pommard Perrieres, with beautiful 100 year old vines. On the other side is Maison Dieu, with old vines and lots of complexity, a very Pommard character, but no Pommard name to raise the price. rich and focused, with layered, spicy character and notes of cherries, this is a terrific Burgundy for under $20. 2/2015
Top Value!
Price: $18.99
2012 Domaine Cyrot-Buthiau Santenay 1er Cru "Clos Rousseau "
Review Date: 2-3-2015
A lovely ripe nose is followed by dark red fruits and a bit of earthiness. This lovely Santenay comes form the border with Maranges and shares that regions rich fruit character. The wine has very gentle tannins and a darker color due to the fermentation technique called delestage. A ripe, concentrated and lovely wine at a most reasonable tariff. Try a Premier Cru Burgundy from the original home of Pinot, for less than many Oregon Pinot Noirs, thanks to K&L's Direct Import program. 2/2015
Top Value!
Price: $32.99
2001 Domaine Louis Jadot Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Feusselottes"
Review Date: 2-3-2015
This delightful Chambolle is showing beautifully. it reflects the linear nature of the vintage, with focused red fruit notes and a subtle elegance that speaks of Chambolle-Musigny. Purchased directly from France, it is in beautiful condition and drinking well. I have had it twice in the last week, and loved it both times. 2/1/2015
Top Value!
Price: $74.95
2012 Domaine Marius Delarche Corton-Renardes Grand Cru
Review Date: 1-29-2015
For me, renardes, Bressandes and Clos du Roi are without equal among the grand cru reds from Crton. To findone, from a great vintage, at this price is only possible because of our direct purchase. The rich texture, drive and weight all reveal clearly tha tthis is Grand Cru. The palate impression is very rich, with ripe tannins. There is just a hint of sauvage/foxy notes that this vineyard is known for. Bravo Etienne! (03/2014)
Top Value!
Price: $67.99
2012 Domaine Delarche Aloxe-Corton
Review Date: 1-29-2015
As is often the case, there is a bright core of acidity here in the Aloxe, and more prominent red fruit notes. The tannin structure is very fine, and the finish persistent. Thi sis an elegant wine which will benefit from some time in the cellar. The color is deep and limpid, and athe lovely cherry fruit is most charming. (03/2014)
Price: $39.95
2005 Valandraud, St-Emilion
Review Date: 11-9-2014
If you like your Bordeaux old-fashioned, earthy and not too powerful, this is NOT for you. But, if you love modern, rich, full-throttle Bordeaux, where they manage to find the balance of new oak, fruit and density, this IS for you. A dark and inky hue shows just a touch of ruby around the edge as the wine reaches almost ten years of age. This big, ripe, fleshy, almost burly wine shows toasty oak in the back palate and the material needed for hedonism today or a long nap in your cellar. A cult wine like this at 1/2 price, with bottle age already on it--what's not to like?
Drink from 2014 to 2026
Price: $199.99
Fleury Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne
Review Date: 8-6-2014
Very rich, very concentrated in style. Lovely champagne from a biodynamic grower. Just flat-out excellent and an amazing value.
Top Value!
Price: $39.99
Bruno Michel Premier Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Review Date: 8-6-2014
From a single vineyard, with old selectoin massale vines (not commercial clones), planted a half-century ago. 1/2 has been through ML, half has not. It comes from a vineyard high on the hill, almost on the border with Epernay, so it is a cooler, more mineral rich enviforment. The vineayrd is a 1er Cru one, called Les Brousses. This has a modest 8g/liter of dosage, but such great drive and minerality it shows as a most amazing champagne. This is a Don't Miss! for me.
Price: $44.99
2011 Tamarack Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 7-31-2014
This may be the least expensive Cab in our stock that will age beautifully for a decade or more, It's solid, well-made, masculine and has a nice acidity to keep it fresh on the palate. Decant and drink now or age for 5-15 years. Just do not miss it entirely and regret it later.
Top Value!
Price: $29.99
2012 Viña Robles "Estate" Paso Robles Sauvignon Blanc
Review Date: 7-31-2014
Clean, modern in style and focused like a laser beam. For this price, this is close to a no-brainer as I have seen in a while.
Price: $10.99
2013 TWR (Te Whare Ra) Pinot Noir Marlborough
Review Date: 7-11-2014
This organically and biodynamically-grown Pinot Noir shows a bit more flesh than past vintages, as it comes from two vineyards. One has gravelly soil, the other is a steep slope with more clay. The result is a Pinot of both finesse and power, at a very reasonable price for the quality. Bravo!
Price: $26.99
Bruno Michel Brut Rosé Champagne (1.5L)
Review Date: 6-19-2014
OK, folks, this is a story that you have to love. It takes years to produce a champagne like this, and to have a single vintage one in magnum is unusual. Thanks to the bankrupt importer who had these specially made and whose failure allowed us to pick them up at a bargain price. 100% Pinot Meunier, from a biodynamic and organic grape-grower. This is absolutely delicious, and I am most definitely taking some home.
Top Value!
Price: $89.99
2000 Krug Brut Champagne
Review Date: 2-7-2014
This has a most attractive bouquet, with notes of pear, rose hips and seashells. On the palate it walks a beautiful line between richness and tension. Plenty of focus and acidity, but also lots of mid-palate weight. this is subtle champagne and beautifully balanced. And the finish, well that is truly something. It fans out on your palate and lingers for a long time. Bravo!
Price: $229.00
Lot 40 Single Pot Still Canadian Rye Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 1-15-2014
This is one of the best Ryes I have tasted in years. It starts with a slightly fruity nose, then moves to a note like a sourdough rye bread I used to bake. On the palate it is subtle and balanced, with a note of candied Kumquats on the finish. The only experience like it I have had was when tasting a bottle of Prohibition Canadian Rye Whisky I found in a secret cupboard at my Grandfather's house in San Francisco in the mid 1970's, with the notation on the bottle that it could be dispensed only for medicinal purposes. The combination of malted rye and rye yields a focused, delicious dram. Miss this and you will be sorry.
Price: $54.99
1999 Thienot "Cuvée Alain Thiénot" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 11-6-2013
This is a study in long aging on the lees, and the complexity that results. It as that calssic, yeasty nose, but on the palate it is complex and balnced, showing the ripenss of the vintage, but avoiding that clumsiness I sometimes found in 2005s (back when others were still bottling them). It is a real choice for me whether to go with age and power here, or elegance and delicacy with the 2006 Garance. Perhaps both, just with different courses?
Price: $99.00

Sarah Red-Laird is the founder and Executive Director of the Bee Girl organization with a mission to inspire and empower communities to conserve bees and their habitat. Her love of bees and their honey began in Southern Oregon, on a little farm at the end of a country road. There resided two hives of honey bees near her aunt's cabin. She was fascinated with the colonies, the beekeeper, and the honeycomb they produced. After high school, she traveled throughout the West. Her adventurous spirit landed her jobs on fishing boats, helicopters, sea kayaks, ski mountains, fire engines, and even a gold rush era saloon. She finally brought her affinity for beekeeping to fruition at the University of Montana, Missoula. She chose honey bees and Colony Collapse Disorder as her Davidson Honors College research thesis, and her relationship with the bees picked up right where it left off. Sarah is also the US Ambassador of the International Bee Research Association's (IBRA) BEEWORLD project, the Kids and Bees Director for the American Beekeeping Federation, a New York Bee Sanctuary Advisory Board Member, a mentor in the Oregon State Master Beekeepers Program, Apiary Manager for Southern Oregon University's Center for Sustainability, and the Oregon Outreach Coordinator for the Bee Friendly Farming Initiative. When she is not tirelessly working with bees, beekeepers, kids, farmers, land managers, and policy makers, Sarah heads for the hills with a camera, large backpack, fishing rod, bike or snowboard, and her best friend, Sophie the Yellow Lab.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
'King' Harper is at it again
The Harper Conservatives didn't start the demolition of Parliament, but they have taken it to a whole new level. The question facing Canadians now is whether Commons Speaker Peter Milliken's historic ruling last Tuesday is too late to save the furniture.
The ruling was powerful and unambiguous. Here's an excerpt: "In a system of responsible government, the fundamental right of the House of Commons to hold the government to account for its actions is an indisputable privilege and, in fact, an obligation...No statute or practice diminishes the fullness of the power rooted in the House privileges..."
And here's the reality -- a far cry from those noble words. Canadians have had four parliamentary crises in 16 months: the December 2008 coalition non-confidence threat; the subsequent prorogation; the December 2009 prorogation; and now, the government-opposition standoff over access to Afghan detainee documents. The first three created major new precedents and built on each other to dangerously weaken Parliament's supremacy over the prime minister.
The 2008 prorogation established the right of a minority prime minister to shut Parliament to avoid defeat. That prorogation enabled the then-illegitimate minority prime minister to trump the will of the majority of MPs by unleashing a month-long nationwide media campaign of fear and loathing. The 2009 prorogation established that the same minority prime minister could close Parliament simply to avoid accountability.
The fourth crisis -- whether the Harper Conservatives will obey the Speaker and compromise with the opposition over the documents -- has still to unfold. The portents are not good.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he will comply with the Speaker's ruling if it does not break any of Canada's laws or breach national security. He has it backwards. Parliament is the supreme law of the land, not its statutes. As for national security, no less a personage than Canada's chief of defence staff, Lt. Gen.Walter Natynczyk, told CBC News last Thursday that he would have no objection whatsoever to MPs seeing the Afghan detainee papers. "Not at all, not at all," he said when asked specifically if he had "any fears of people pouring over these documents."
Nelson Wiseman teaches Canadian government and politics at the University of Toronto. Theoretically, he says, Parliament's powers are virtually unlimited. In fact, should the government continue refusing to supply the documents to MPs, the Speaker could summon the RCMP and order them to go into the offices of the prime minister and cabinet, seize the documents and bring them to Parliament.
"Parliament is all-powerful," Wiseman continued in an interview. "If Parliament wants, it can shut down its proceedings to the press, it can refuse to have its proceedings broadcast, it can expel members."
Power, however, is now concentrated in the PMO. "It's all-powerful. Policy announcements are no longer being made in Parliament but out on the hustings. Budgets are now being revealed outside. Parliament has been continually downgraded.
"(Harper) released his fiscal updates outside the House and turned them into media events, hiring outside parties to do all the staging," Wiseman said. "One event cost over $108,000. He turned them into free media for the Conservatives..."
Powerful as Milliken's language is in his landmark ruling, Wiseman fears the Liberals "are going to cave" and if they don't, the NDP will. Both are afraid of an election.
"What Harper has established, he has now been PM for four years, he has run the government as if it is a majority. It's very hard to point where Harper has had to bend on anything...He has cover on the fiscal conservative side from the Liberals...His own party is in awe of him...(In 2008) he went on television and convinced enough people and media that elections aren't about electing a Parliament, but electing a prime minister...For certain, if we have another election, he'll have another free ride."
The Harper Conservatives' ancestor is the populist Alberta-based Reform Party. It preferred presidents to Parliament. Should Harper once again intimidate Parliament, Canada will find itself metaphorically reconnecting King Charles I with his head, re-establishing, after 361 years of parliamentary democracy, the divine right of a Canadian "king."

Could lockout help Mavericks repeat?
An abbreviated season not necessarily bad for some teams
With the potential for a truncated 2011-12 NBA season looming, we delved into the data to see which teams stand to benefit the most from a short season; tomorrow we will look at which teams would be hurt the most.
Here's a list of four factors that matter, and five teams that could make the most of a chaotic year in the NBA.
Bad teams have the most to gain
Lost salaries aside, players on bad teams should all pray for a strike-shortened season. The laws of probability dictate that they have the most to gain. By playing fewer games, randomness and luck play a much larger role, compared to actual skill, in determining where teams stand at the end of the regular season.
As an example, in 2010-11 the Miami Heat were clearly a much better team than the Cleveland Cavaliers. If last season were replayed today with all the same teams and players, there would only be a miniscule chance that the Cavs would finish the season with a better record than the Heat.
However, according to Vegas lines, the Cavs had between 10 and 30 percent odds to beat the Heat in their most recent matchups last season.
In other words, while Cleveland has almost no chance of outplaying Miami over 82 games, the Cavs have a much better chance of winning an individual game head to head. Given the much shorter time frame, there's always the chance that the Cavs get hot, the Heat go cold and the obviously worse team beats the obviously better team on that one night. The same effects can manifest themselves in the playoffs, when the total number of games played also is small. Witness the 1998-99 postseason, when the eighth-seeded Knicks advanced all the way to the NBA finals.
In short, when the number of games played is smaller, there's less time to sort the good teams out from the bad. Being lucky means more and being good means less.
Consistency can be good or bad

No. 3 Florida tops Alabama 78-69 for 15th straight
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — No. 3 Florida has won with defense most of the season.
The Gators showed Saturday they can pull out games on the other end of the court, too.
Scottie Wilbekin scored 16 points, leading all five starters in double figures, and Florida beat Alabama 78-69 for its 15th straight victory.
The Gators handled the Tide for the second time in 16 days and extended a school record for consecutive home wins to 29.
"If you play defense the way we did tonight, you're not going to win," coach Billy Donovan said. "Thank God we had some offense today that helped us."
Florida (21-2, 10-0 Southeastern Conference) shot a blistering 62 percent from the field and finished with a season-high 22 assists.
The Gators trailed by seven late in the first half before taking over the game in the paint and in transition. That opened things up on the perimeter for Wilbekin and Michael Frazier II.
Wilbekin was 3-for-5 shooting from behind the arc, making all three in the second half. Frazier was 3 for 8 from the 3-point range.
Frazier finished with 14 points, joining Wilbekin, Casey Prather (15), Will Yeguete (12) and Patric Young (11) in double figures. It was the first time all five of Florida's starters topped 10 points since Nov. 21 against Middle Tennessee.
"We have a balanced team, and anyone can beat you on any given night," Prather said.
Prather, the team's leading scorer, failed to reach double figures the last two games while dealing with a sprained left ankle. He returned to form against Alabama even though Donovan wasn't sure he would play a few hours before the tip. Donovan gave Prather the option of playing or resting, and he chose to give it a go.
"It's got nothing to do with him not being a tough kid or he can't play through pain," Donovan said. "It gets more into the fact that he doesn't feel confidence-wise that he's capable of doing the things he knows he can do. When he gets to that place, he really gets mentally taken out because he knows he can't do certain things.
"When he knows he can do things physically, it adds to his confidence. When he can't move like he wants to move, I think he knows he's putting our team in jeopardy, and that eats him alive and kills him."
Trevor Releford led the Tide (9-14, 3-7) with 25 points on 7-for-10 shooting. He was 4 for 6 from behind the 3-point line and perfect on seven free throws.
Releford scored 16 points in the first half, carrying Alabama for much of the afternoon. His 3-pointer put the Tide up 28-21, silencing the sold-out O'Connell Center.
Alabama shot 61 percent in the opening half and went 5 for 7 from behind the arc, giving the defensive-minded Donovan plenty to talk about at halftime. The Gators responded with an effective press, made 3-pointers and a heavy dose of post play that seemingly wore down the Tide.

Why you'll give a lousy gift this Christmas
Behavioural economists study human errors. People don't always make the best choices for themselves, so there's good reason to doubt whether they will always make the best choices for others.
If you've ever received a useless gadget, a horrendous tie or some kind of bowl, you'll know that when people buy Christmas presents, they can blunder badly. Chances are pretty good that whatever you end up getting people this year, and however hard you try, some of your friends and family aren't going to think the gift is worth what you paid for it.
University of Minnesota economist Joel Waldfogel, author of Scroogenomics, finds that Americans spend about $65 billion on winter holiday presents every year -- and that many of those billions are wasted because a lot of people don't much like what they get. Typically, the value of a gift, to the recipient, is about 20 per cent lower than its cost. He describes the holiday season as "an orgy of value destruction."
Mis-giving is a big problem for givers as well as recipients. In a large survey, the average respondent was found to give 23 presents every holiday season. Gift-giving can also take an economic toll. Personal debt tends to jump after December. That isn't ideal, especially in hard economic times and if recipients aren't thrilled with what they get.
Here are some tips, building on six behavioural findings that bear directly on holiday-season mis- giving, that might help you get through December a little better.
EGOCENTRIC BIAS: If you're like most people, you have an exaggerated sense of how much other people are like you. You probably think their tastes and values are closer to yours than they actually are. Suppose you covet that new Star Wars limited-edition watch, or think your life would be immeasurably better with a fishing rod. Even so, your spouse or your best friend might not much want those things. Beware of thinking that other people will like what you like.
FOCUSING ILLUSION: When people focus on a product or an activity or on a single feature of a situation, they tend to think it matters a lot more than it does. For example, people in both California and Iowa have been found to think that people in California are happier than those in Iowa (which isn't so). The reason for the mistake is that people focus on the most salient difference between California and Iowa, which is the weather, even though a warmer climate doesn't much affect people's happiness.
The same can be said about holiday gifts. People have a tendency to focus on an eye-catching object that produces an immediate "wow" when it is given, but which goes promptly into the desk or the closet, never to emerge again. The solution? Give serious consideration to gifts that people will actually put to daily or at least weekly use.
PROJECTION BIAS: When people are hungry, they tend to order a ton of food, even if they aren't going to eat all or even most of it. They know, of course, that their tastes will change over time, but they project their current emotional state into the future and thus underestimate the magnitude of the change.
On frigid days, people buy clothing that is needed in cold weather, such as parkas and winter coats. That's fine as far as it goes, but they sometimes buy more than they need. The return rate is unusually high for cold-weather products bought in low temperatures. For gift-givers, the lesson is clear: Don't be unduly influenced by how you feel on the day you happen to be shopping.
OPTIMISTIC BIAS: Human beings tend to be unrealistically optimistic. Most people think they are better than the average driver and less likely to be involved in a serious accident. When people give presents, unrealistic optimism goes off the charts. We are often amazed that people don't love what we've selected. Please don't be. (And please consider avoiding the optimistic exclamation, "You're going to love it!")
CUMULATIVE-COST NEGLECT: People often borrow too much because they neglect the cumulative costs of individual expenditures. If you use your credit card to purchase 20 sensible gifts, you might be alarmed by the total expense. When gift-givers don't keep at least a rough running tab, they may find they have spent a lot more than they expected or can easily afford.
SPOTLIGHT EFFECT: If you are like most people, you think people are watching you far more carefully than they actually are. In one experiment, students were asked to go into a classroom wearing a shirt with a picture of Barry Manilow on it (which is pretty embarrassing). Those who wore the shirt greatly exaggerated the number of people who actually noticed the picture. Most people didn't.
For the holiday season, many of us focus too intensely on how other people will react to what we get them, when it may be the mere existence of the present, rather than exactly what it is, that matters most. Unless you are dealing with someone who really cares about what you get them, you should worry a lot less (and maybe spend less, too).

Emmys Q&A: Beth McCarthy-Miller on directing the two-part '30 Rock' series finale
Beth McCarthy-Miller has been a part of the "30 Rock" family almost since inception. She's directed some of the show's finest episodes, including both live ones and "TGS Hates Women," so it was natural for co-showrunners Tina Fey and Robert Carlock to place her at the helm for their show's two-part finale. "Hogcock!" and "Last Lunch" aired January 31 one right after the other, requiring McCarthy-Miller to meld two episodes into a cohesive whole and put a button on the series' seven-year run. HitFix spoke with her about this process as Emmy voters are casting ballots -- McCarthy-Miller has been nominated five times for her work on "30 Rock," but never won.

Palatki Heritage Site
Mo to Su from 09:30 AM to 03:00 PM
Palatki ruins, which are believed to have been occupied from 1130 to 1280 A.D., are located northwest of Sedona, Arizona. Known for the pueblos carved into the sandstone cliffs, the Palatki ruins also house several sets of ancient pictographs and petroglyphs, which are estimated to be between 3,000 and 6,000 years old. One of Sedona's largest ruins, Palatki, which means "red house" in the Hopi language, consists of two separate pueblo dwellings. The existence of dual pueblos suggests that two different family groups inhabited the area simultaneously. There are several other ruins nearby, including Honanki, and Tuzigoot, which is located in Clarkdale, AZ.

Hardliners in the Occupy movement have begun equating police infiltrators and other enemies with Occupy supporters who favor some practical electoral and legislative goals. There is alarmist talk about the need to protect Occupy's revolutionary purity from these reformers, as Danny Schechter explains.
US Politics Threaten Iran Nuke Talks
The rigidity of Official Washington – more than intransigence from Iran – is threatening negotiations beginning in Istanbul this weekend. President Obama's flexibility to ease sanctions on Iran in exchange for Iranian safeguards against building a nuclear weapon is limited by political pressures, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Some Ultra-Rich Abandon Obama
Some of the ultra-rich who backed Barack Obama in 2008 are switching to Mitt Romney in 2012 because the President has called for closing tax loopholes that allow hedge-fund and private-equity billionaires to pay lower tax rates than working stiffs, Bill Moyers and Michael Winship write.
Iran Talks Hinge on Israeli Demand
As international talks begin over Iran's nuclear program, President Obama has put forward an Israeli demand for the dismantling of a well-protected uranium processing plant, but it's less clear whether Obama will press the point if it means killing hopes for a peaceful settlement, Gareth Porter reports for Inter Press Service.
How Neocons Sank Iran Nuke Deal
Exclusive: Iran is resuming talks over its nuclear program with leading international powers – the United States, Britain, Russia, China, France and Germany – with the prospect of an agreement to swap some enriched uranium for research isotopes. But a similar plan was torpedoed by U.S. neocons in 2010, recalls Robert Parry.
Pastor Hagee's Criminal Faith
Historically, ardent Christians have been among the most bloodthirsty of religious believers, justifying wars and genocides around the world, ironically, in the name of Jesus, an avowed pacifist. Now, many devout Christians rally to Israel's side in its ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the Holy Land, Lawrence Davidson notes.
GOP Five's Code: 'Power Is Power'
Exclusive: Both the mainstream U.S. press and some on the Left underestimate the danger to the Republic from having a Republican majority on the Supreme Court rendering decisions based on partisan needs not constitutional principles, a threat that surfaced in December 2000 and continues today, writes Robert Parry.
Big Banks Invest in Congress
Less than four years after precipitating a devastating financial crisis – and getting bailed out by taxpayers – the big banks are looking to Election 2012 as a chance to roll back even modest reforms, like the Volcker Rule, that reined in Wall Street gambling, as Bill Moyers and Michael Winship explain.
What's Not Good for the Country
Exclusive: Many in the Washington Establishment – including key parts of the press – fancy themselves doing what's "good for the country" by shielding Americans from painful realities, like the emerging crisis over a partisan-driven Supreme Court. But the hard truth, not easy lies, is what's best for the nation, says Robert Parry.
Time to 'Occupy' the IRS?
As Americans struggle with their tax returns, they are reminded how skewed the tax system has become, with multi-millionaires who live off investments paying a lower rate that middle-class people who go to work every day, a situation that Danny Schechter says deserves protest.

Beautiful Smiles Posted by KindSpring.org, Mar 31 2015 I was wandering through a fruit stand today and noticed two women walking in the store. One was leading the way, the other followed slowly with a walker. The second woman was probably in her fifties, too young for a walker, and she had the most beautiful smile.I passed them without giving it too much thought. They left the store before me, and when I left and was walking down the sidewalk, I saw them in their car. This lovely woman was sitting in the passenger's seat, smiling and laughing sweetly as she said, "I never thought it could be this hard to get in a car" -- and laughed and laughed. Amazing, I thought! And I wanted to connect with this lovely energy, so as I passed, I asked if she would like me to close the car door for her. She looked at me and gave me one of her beautiful smiles, and said "Oh yes, that would be wonderful!" I closed the door. She smiled, put her hands together and gifted me with a Namaste bow. She touched my heart and lifted my spirit and left me smiling all day. Such a simple interaction, and I am so grateful for ... full story: Beautiful Smiles

Technology, Conciousness And The Future Posted by Min Lee, Mar 31 2015 This weekend, I attended a discussion in the breath-taking Half Moon Bay, attended by spiritual leaders and technologists who gathered to explore the role of technology, consciousness and the future. Convened by the good folks at the Contemplative Alliance, we sat in a circle and were guided by the occasional gong to invite pause and offer reflections. Sufi teacher Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee opened with a powerful idea - could the internet be a new model of universal consciousness? When seeing the Internet through it's symbolic and sacred potential, he saw a blueprint similar to the plane of self he experienced during enlightenment - where all knowledge is present and accessible, and where all people are inter-connected in global oneness. Technology may just be the gateway on a physical plane so more people could carry the light, unify in consciousness, with dynamic energy and power to completely rearrange our world. With that, there is ... Read Full Story

Technology, Consciousness, And The Future Posted by Birju Pandya, Mar 30 2015 I just returned from a weekend gathering of the Contemplative Alliance, which hosted a roundtable dialogue on the topic of technology and consciousness. Was a very interesting group of about 60 folks, including many monastics from various traditions along with leaders from Silicon Valley. We also had a solid contingent connected to the ServiceSpace world, including Rahul, Tom, Min, and Alan! Very interesting topics ranging from nanotech to inner technologies to ethical design. Amongst all of them, I was most interested by the underlying question - how to engage with technology knowingly from the perspective of wisdom traditions. On this topic, the Contemplative Alliance will be releasing a short video of highlights soon, but a few tidbits stood out. Lakota elder Tiokasin spoke about how the language of his people did not include a word for 'domination' or even 'peace on earth', but rather 'peace with earth.' Lama Palden spoke of her ...

Cleansing The Feet, Refreshing The Soul Posted by Bradley Stoll, Mar 29 2015 We arrive at Karma Kitchen and I can't help but be filled with gratitude for what I'm about to receive through giving.

Even though the kitchen doesn't open until 11:30, they all sit patiently, soaking up the experience. Then, the real gift comes. So many beautiful people from all over. I'm gifted the experience of meeting Sujatha, the queen of Restorative Justice. To hug a person who knows forgiveness is a gift in itself.

You Cannot Capture Silence, It Captures You Posted by Awakin, Mar 29 2015 This week's Awakin reading is by Richard Rohr titled 'You cannot capture Silence, It captures You': For me, the two correctives of all spirituality are silence and service. If either of those is missing, it is not true, healthy spirituality. Without silence, we do not really experience our experiences. We may serve others and have many experiences, but without silence, nothing has the power to change us, to awaken us, to give us that joy that the world cannot give, as Jesus says. And without clear acts of free service (needing no payback of any sort, even "heaven"), a person's spiritual authenticity can and should be called into question. Divine Love always needs to and must overflow! To live in this primordial, foundational being itself, which I am calling silence, creates a kind of sympathetic resonance with what is right in front of us. Without it, we just react instead of respond. Without some degree of silence, we are never living, never tasting, as there is not ... [Read more]
