A yoga practice specialized to meet your individual needs. High performance athletes, recovery, normal aches and pains. Create a personal practice just for you.
How does the Equus relate to the Yoga and Mindfulness?
The Horse, is a horse, is a horse is a horse. The beauty of being with a horse, is that they never try to be anything other than who they are. They eat, they chew they stomp at flies. They run, they jump, they spook. But they never try to 'fool' us into thinking that they are a 'cow' say. They are a horse.
When we come to our mats, this philosophy is what inspires me. Is to present the moment at hand to the student. To allow the moment to unfold and the student to see what is there. What emotion, what thought, what feeling. To allow the student to just BE, in a safe and supportive environment. To allow the student to be completely and utterly themselves. Just a human. Just a messy beautiful, exquisite human. All the while of course, cleansing and clearing meridians, realigning muscular tension, supporting muscles groups that need strengthening, as well as the ones that need suppling.
This is Equus Yoga. Not just for the Equestrian Body and Mind. But for every BODY and MIND.
Yoga on the MAT for Equestrians: Is a curriculum specifically created for the Equestrian body. This practice meets the diverse needs of the rider's body. From increasing core strength, to helping the body soften and lengthen, increasing flexibility in the spine and pelvis, helping keep the body strong and supple for the long run. Equus Yoga on the MAT offers the rider the ability to 'supple' their body, so they may help their horse do the same.
Help keep your body strong, flexible and healthy! This class is designed specifically for the Equestrian. There is no yoga experience necessary. All riding disciplines, all levels of yoga; you will leave having benefited from a curriculum designed with postures for your equestrian body. Time during class will be allotted to address specific areas of tension and postural questions. Highlights of the practice will include strengthening and brigning flexibility to the hips, shoulders and spine to help relieve tension in those areas, which ultimately can help relieve lower back pain and bring greater flexibility and stablility to your seat and connection to your horse. Ultimately improving the riders' coordination and communication with their Equine partner. The healing and mindful qualities of yoga, including working with your breath and breathing techniques will be woven into our practice, benefiting your trail rides or your stadium jumping, but most importantly, your horse will thank you, as your energy and imbalances directly effect his performance. Modifications always welcome and encouraged to meet the needs of the students.
The mindful benefits of Buddism and the soothing breath work of yoga are incorporated for the Equestrian in to a practice that flows seamlessly, as are the many styles of yoga that have influenced Monica's practice and teaching style. Including but not limited to, Hatha, Kripalu, Vinayasa, Ashtanga and Iyengar. Monica is certified in Positional Therapy, bringing these healing modalities into her teaching style. Monica's additional certifications in Shamanism, Anxiety and Immunity, as well as her years as a Public School Educator and Department Chair bring humility, humor and professionalism to her teaching, meeting her students needs where they are, as they are, from advanced practices to beginners.
Yoga Classes for ALL BODIES, not just Equestrians- Monica teaches on going classes in the Berkshires, from privates to group classes, wedding parties or your weekend guest. Her classes allow the yogi to 'luxuriate in the moment', by bringing mindfulness and consciousness into their practice. Students are encouraged to be witness to what feeling sensations in the body arrive, whether it is a gentle practice for clients with injuries or modifications or a Vigorous Practice tailored to the athlete .Monica weaves postures together with a mindful flow, while emphasizing proper alignment and caring for ones' self in each posture. Monica's private sessions meet the needs of the individuals' body and the client leaves the private session with a individualized practice to take home. A Yoga practice that encourages compassion to what is, rather than what has been or what will be in the future. A yoga practice is just that, a practice. It is not yoga perfect.

Her extensive following is a true testament to this gifted teacher. I am so grateful to be able to attend her class every week. " W O. Artist.
"I love how I feel and who I am after walking off the mat from Monica's classes. Monica is trained in several healing arts, of which yoga is only one, and this well-rounded approach is what makes her classes truly special. Monica's flow of sequence, sound technical adjustments and mind-body teachings reflect a wisdom beyond the norm. Her style is kind, loving, and authentic and I leave the mat feeling the same." Hillery M., Teacher, Lenox
"Monica always teach me something which helps my 50+ body feel better. This time it was all about my tootsies. I was on my way to the pain clinic to beg for a cortisone shot, but she taught me that nifty little move where we kind of sat on our toes. I did it each morning and after three days - GONE! Seriously, I was awake each night with serious foot pain and you have cured me. Now I can get back to everything else my body needs to accomplish during beauty sleep!" Amy Consolati, Educator
Strengthen, supple, bring stillness to your body and mind through the benefits of a yoga practice.

The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration records and distributes all traffic crash statistics including those related to auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents in Atlanta. Their large truck accident statistics are staggering and paint a picture of the lives affected by these devastating crashes.
Last year's NHTSA statistics show:
- 4,067 people were killed in truck accidents; a 4% increase from the previous year
- Of those killed in truck accidents:
- 74% were occupants of the other vehicles
- 16% were truck occupants
- 10% were pedestrians and bicyclists
- 116,000 people were injured in truck crashes; an additional 4% increase from the previous year
- 2,047 large trucks were involved in fatal crashes last year; 178 in Georgia alone, accounting for 8.7% of all accidents

- More than 21% of all large truck drivers who were involved in a fatal crash had at least one prior conviction for speeding
- Large trucks make up 8% of all vehicles involved in fatal crashes
The Centers for Disease Control estimates the annual cost to the economy of truck accident and bus crashes to be $99 billion.
Large Trucks: Accident Causes and Violations
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 11% of all motor vehicle accidents occurred in large truck crashes. These trucks weigh up to thirty times more than a passenger vehicle, and their height and ground clearance can easily smash a smaller vehicle upon impact causing serious injuries in Atlanta.
The National Transportation Safety Board lists compromised braking capabilities, including a loaded trailer taking up to 40% longer to stop than a passenger car as a common trucking accident cause. Poorly maintained brakes, or slippery surfaces can extend these stopping times greatly, and cause devastating truck accidents in Atlanta and throughout the State of Georgia.
Roadside inspections indicate that the most frequent driver violations include:
- 326,818 drivers were cited for failure to log, update, or provide accurate information regarding their record of duty
- 136,585 drivers were cited for hours-of-service violations, where their federally mandated travel time limits were surpassed

- Nearly 16 million trucks are in operation on U.S. roadways
- Almost 9 million people are employed in the trucking industry; an estimated 3.5 million are truck drivers, 9% of which are independent drivers, most of whom are owner/operators
- The trucking industry accounts for approximately 70% of all freight transported annually in the U.S., accounting for $671 Billion in manufactured and retail goods, in addition to:
- $295 Billion in truck trade with Canada
- $197 Billion in truck trade with Mexico
- Truck drivers traversed nearly 280 billion miles last year, more than double the mileage covered 25 years before, accounting for:

Photo Essay: Celebrating Spring in New York City/
In New York City, every season is memorable for a different reason. It's the soupy heat and empty streets in summer. It's the slushy sidewalks and snowy tree branches in winter. It's the crisp breeze and bright colors of changing leaves in autumn. In this concrete jungle, spring is a special time when we pause, even if only for a brief second, to admire the fragrant blossoms lining our city's parks and streets.
Visit the Brooklyn Botanic Garden on Tuesday and the New York Botanical Garden on Wednesday to take advantage of their free entrance days. Central Park is, of course, always free and the Conservatory Garden is especially nice in the spring.

Earlier this morning, storage solution provider Panasas has unveiled improved hardware and software that solves
RAID rebuild issues by fixing damaged files instead of rebuilding complete disks.
The company is an HPC storage system supplier which is moving into technical computing/big
data use cases in enterprises.
It has more than 450 customers in over 50 countries around the world. The hardware is the
Panasas ActiveStor 16, positioned as a hybrid, scale-out NAS appliance.
It runs v6.0 of PanFS which has a new RAID 6+ protection scheme. This is the sixth generation
of PAS hardware. The PAS 11 and 12 constituted the fourth generation, both disk-based with the
PAS 14 being the fifth generation.
It introduced the use of SSDs to accelerate small, random access IOs, small random accesses into
large files, and hold file system metadata.
The PAS 11 and 12 were announced in November 2010 and the PAS 14 in September 2012. A little
under two years later, we have the PAS 16, which has faster controllers (director blades), using
2.53 GHx quad-core Xeon CPUs.
These are 19 percent faster than PAS 14 director blade processors and have 4 times more cache
48 GB of memory.
Overall, the PAS 16 storage blade moves up from 4 TB disk drives to using 2 x 6 TB HGST He
drives, and doubled SSD capacity of 240 GB. There is now up to 122.4 TB of storage capacity in
its 4U enclosures, with ten of them in a rack providing 1.2 PB.
As with the previous PAS products, data throughput reaches 150 GB/sec. The big news though
is the RAID 6+ triple parity protection scheme. President and CEO Faye Pairman said PAS 16 had
undergone a hardening process to make it optimal for enterprise big data applications and PanFS
6.0 is the most important software release for Panasas in the past five to six years.
As big data gets larger, and so do disk drives, the time to rebuild a failed drive is extended,
so much so so that, in large arrays, a second disk drive can fail before the first is rebuilt, causing
data loss.
To be sure, RAID 6 protects against such a situation. But disks have reached 6 TB and will
soon be at 8 and 10 TB and rebuild times will continue to be longer, which is one issue in itself,
and exposing us to the risk of a third disk failure while two disks are being rebuilt.
What Panasas RAID 6+ application does is to end the default rebuilding of an entire failed
drive and only rebuild the damaged data components instead.
It can do this because at its core, it's an object-based parallel filesystem. Also, the flash
in the PAS 16 has been tuned for RAID 6+ operations. Individual files can be restored in a
disaster recovery exercise instead of the whole system.
Product marketer Geoffrey Noer said that overall reliability increases as you scale the
system, instead of decreasing it and that Erasure codes protect every file individually.
With RAID 6+ a triple simultaneous disk failure means that the percentage of files to restore
approaches zero at scale.
He added that RAID 6+ provides a 150 times increase in overall reliability compared to RAID 6
and, with the PAS 16 and PanFS v6 RAID rebuild performance scales linearly. As the scale of
the system grows the chance of any 3-drive failures affecting any given file grow less.
And RAID 6+ decreases the chances of having to do a RAID rebuild at all. Small files have three
copies stored, all in flash. Filesystem metadata is quadruple-mirrored. Larger files are striped
across storage blades.
However, the system isn't given a five or six nines availability rating. Instead, Panasas
talks about an always-on model.
While per-file rebuilds are taking place, affected files may not be available but the remainder
of the file is.
Upon making the point that all-flash storage using TLC SSDs would greatly increase data access
speeds and certain use-cases needing fast access to big data amounts could bear the cost, such
as financial trading, Pairman said that now we can understand why Samsung Ventures invested in
privately-owned Panasas.
The presence of Samsung Ventures as an investor was news to us. Dong-Su Kim, vice president
of Samsung Venture Investment Company, sits on Panasas board along with Faye Pairman, co-founder
Garth Gibson, and two partners from Moh, Davidow Ventures.
A March 2014 podcast slide lists Intel Capital as well as Samsung Ventures as investors. Pairman
said its becoming an all-flash world and they see us having tiers of flash in the PAS hardware.
It needs an intelligent file system to operate this and PanFS is exactly that, a reliable, hardened,
performant file OS.
So we might begin to imagine all-flash storage blades in future PAS systems, a PAS 18 for example
which, we speculate, could arrive in 2016, assuming a 20 to 24 month interval between Panasas hardware
Panasas ActiveStor 16 and PanFS 6.0 are available for order now and expected to ship in September.
PanFS 6.0 will be available for PAS 11, 12, 14 and 16 systems.
The list price for 122 TB PAS 16 is $160,000 with an 82 TB one going for $130,000. We'll keep
you posted on this and other stories.

As it's often said, a company's immediate future is its competitor's past.
However, having said that, Oracle isn't too worried right now, because the changes it has made to let its database store data in speedy
memory afford far more backwards compatibility than does SAP's HANA product.
With the launch of the new 'Oracle Database In-Memory' technology yesterday, Oracle has
closed a gap with its competitor SAP and thrown further doubt on some of the value claimed by
newer, younger startups.
The new application lets system admins of Oracle's 12c database easily shift data into the
DRAM memory of servers, which is a much more responsive storage medium than traditional spinning
disk drives.
With this upgrade, Oracle has tightened the industry competition with IBM, Microsoft, and most
significantly, its biggest competitor: SAP.
The German software company, which introduced an in-memory processing system named HANA back in
late 2010, has been fairly active as of late, and we can only imagine that it will try to fend off
Oracle as best it can.
The difference between HANA and Oracle's new software is that Oracle's in-memory option is compatible
with all existing Oracle apps built via 12c, letting admins get the advantages of memory without having
to drastically rewrite all their apps that they've worked so hard on.
"We've implemented this so that you have to do nothing to your applications to test it out," said
Oracle vice president of product management Tim Shetler.
"Overall, that was purely so that people could adopt it easily, and not have to open up the
app and be forced to make changes. Everything they could have done previously is still accessible
when running with the in-memory option," added Shetler.
Additionally, Oracle has also let the system tier across different memory mediums within
the same cluster. "Even though this is memory-optimized database technology, there's no requirement
that the entire database or dataset be in memory to use it," said Shetler.
"We also have the ability to spread a large dataset across different tiers of storage. If you
run a query against that data it will all transparently come back," he added.
So, what's different? "Well a lot of the transparency comes through enhancements we've had to make
to the optimizer in the database itself," Shetler said. "The optimizer is always the one that sees a
SQL statement and figures out what is the fastest way to analyze this request. The optimizer
will then decide based on the request which direction to route the request."
As the optimizer is the core part of the database, Oracle has spent several years working
on adding this capability without breaking anything, and while making certain it's backwards
Subtle things like making sure "that if one app had made a modification to the row store
and that data that's been modified or is in the in-memory columnar store, we have to synchronizer
those two," are why it's taken Oracle several years to catch up to SAP HANA.
Overall, introducing the technology meant that "the disruption was fairly minimal," Shetler
added. "It was like grafting an in-memory store onto an existing set of foundation and infrastructure."
Pricing was not disclosed as of yet.
Market research firm IDC has just revealed the numbers of one of the worst data storage
quarters in recent history as enterprise buyers literally went on a high-end storage strike.
It's been a major drop in the storage business in the first quarter of this year so far.
In a nutshell, here's what IDC statement had to say-- "The total (internal plus external)
disk storage systems market generated $7.3 billion in revenue, representing a drop of 6.9 percent
from the prior year's first quarter and a sequential decline of 17 percent compared to the seasonally
stronger 4th quarter of 2013."
IDC storage research director Eric Sheppard said-- "The poor results of the first quarter were
driven by several factors, the most important of which was a 25 percent decline in high-end storage
He also singled out the mainstream adoption of storage optimization technologies, a general trend
towards keeping systems longer, economic uncertainty, and the ability of customers to address capacity
needs on a micro and short-term basis through public cloud offerings.
Storage provider EMC lead with a 29.1 percent revenue market share but its revenue growth
was just 8.8 percent year-on-year, worse than the market as a whole (5.2 percent) because high-end
array sales were so weak.
IBM did a lot worse, with a 22.5 percent drop in quarterly revenues uear over year. As NetApp and
HP declined less than the market, they arguably gained share.
For its part, Dell had a 8.8 percent revenue drop year over year. Although NetApp, in the
number two position for revenue market share, saw a market share rise year-on-year IDC shows
it as having experienced a 2.8 percent revenue growth over the same period because its actual
revenues fell.
Year over year, the storage market as a whole declined by 6.9 percent in revenue terms,
with NetApp only declining 2.8 percent, meaning that it gained a bit of market share.

Arc Aspicio
Launches New
Passion for homeland security is the driving force in our company. We love what we do. And we love our new website!
Arc Aspicio is thrilled to announce the launch of the new site. It provides our visitors – the Government, recruits, and our partners – with more information about our company, our mission focus and our services, and our talented people. It also improves opportunities for participation in the broader homeland security community through our new blog and its integration with relevant social media sites.
The new site offers additional insight into the driving forces behind what makes Arc Aspicio unique. Because of our love of dogs, our company mascot ( Magnum), and our support of the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF), we have included dog paw shaped links to our Dogs Rule page. Our insights, including press releases, blog entries, hotlinks, trends, and articles are located in colorful squares simply because we like squares. On our new site, visitors can meet our leaders and even see what we look like! They can also read about our Corporate Ethics and Compliance Program, which mirrors those of much larger government contractors. Similarly, you will see how Arc Aspicio is giving back to the community through our work with SDF and our recent blood drive in support of Children's Hospital.
At Arc Aspicio, we are building a community that promotes collaboration, continuous learning, innovation, and intelligence to improve homeland security. In addition to providing our insights regarding border security, emergency preparedness, privacy, immigration, and transportation security, our new website offers an overview of our focus on six key mission areas: transportation security, border management, immigration, law enforcement, emergency management, and intelligence.
Arc Aspicio is dedicated to connecting homeland security professionals. Our new site uses various social media platforms including Twitter, GovLoop, and LinkedIn. We also make it easy for our visitors to read our blog, stay connected to us by signing up for email updates, and our very popular weekly homeland security newsletter (which has nearly 3,000 subscribers).
For more information about Arc Aspicio, please visit us at www.arcaspicio.com. To come join our team, check out www.arcaspicio.com/careers.

If there's anything the rest of the world should learn about us from movie-of-the-moment Crazy Rich Asians, it's that family means everything.
According to new research from online travel agent Agoda, this trait carries over to our travel habits: seven out of 10 families globally take at least two family vacations a year, with Asian travelers taking more than twice as many family trips as their Western peers—five trips a year versus two). We love going on trips with our families, no matter what the circumstances (if pop culture is any indication, think Patay
The Agoda Family Travel Trends 2018 survey, conducted by YouGov, found that 34% of travelers have taken more than five family trips in the past year. Asia dominates this multi-holiday trend with an incredible 77% of travelers from Thailand and 62% from the Philippines claiming to have taken five or more family vacations in the past year.

Happy Birthday to Joel Winspear, My Father
Posted by Brock Winspear
Happy Birthday to Joel Winspear, My Father
The man ultimately responsible for my time on this earth turns 60 years old today!
The farthest back that I can remember is when I was 4 years old. Before that, it's all just a blur. My dad was 36 years old when I was 4 years old. He wasn't much different back then as he is now. He has been the most consistent person throughout my entire life. I owe a lot of who I am today to my father.
Looking back on it all now, it's insane to think that he and my mom had 5 kids. We each took our turns at putting him through hell. I'm sure that we are the cause of any gray hairs and or wrinkles. How he puts up with us sometimes, I have no idea.
The two of us have not always met eye to eye on things, but in the end, that was me just being a stubborn teenager and him being the same old genuine guy that he has always been. As I have grown older, I have gained more and more respect for my dad. The respect was always there, but my eyes just weren't always open to it. As I have learned more about life, I have come to realize that my father has helped me through a lot of it.
How anyone supports 5 kids is a miracle in itself, but my dad didn't think twice about it. He just did it. And, in a lot of ways, he still does.
I have to say, it's probably my father's fault that I have a film addiction. But, that's just because he was nice enough to take me and the rest of my family to the movies often. He got us all interested at a young age, and it sort of just became a family thing. Movies are one thing that we all have in common.
Movies are not the only things that my dad got me into. He has always been big into sports, and that is another bug that I caught when I was just a kid. Whether it was a basketball game, baseball game, or even soccer game, I got to see dad rooting for me in the stands. Sometimes we would play catch or shoot hoops and those things would always make my day.
We are not a checkers family. Our family plays chess. In fact, the boys in my family play chess very well. Who do you think we have to thank for that skill? Well, my dad, of course. My dad taught me how to play chess when I was 4 years old. At the time, it was probably mostly because he would play with my older brothers and certainly I wanted to do whatever they were doing.
I lost hundreds of games of chess to my dad, until one day I won. It was a big deal to me because my dad is not the type of person to let you win. He is not going down without a fight and that is something that he instilled in us at a very young age, whether he knew it or not. The chess games became less and less one sided and eventually I was able to win more often. He taught me that in order to get better at something, you have to accept the challenge and learn from people that are more talented than you. You have to face the challenge until you overcome it, and then learn from it.
The other great thing about chess that I learned from my dad, which really also applies in life, is to think a few moves ahead. Don't simply concentrate in the moment, but try to anticipate what the future may hold. Once you see it, make it happen.
My strong work ethic comes from my father. But, probably the biggest thing that he has taught me over the years is to never give up. No matter how many times I fall, my dad taught me to get back up, and get back up swinging.
Dad, I am proud to call you my father. You have been a great friend in my life. I love you and I hope that your birthday is the best that it can be.
Happy 60th Birthday Dee-Dah!

Yves Engler's Blog
Dubbed "Canada's version of Noam Chomsky" (Georgia Straight), "one of the most important voices on the Canadian Left today" (Briarpatch), "in the mould of I. F. Stone" (Globe and Mail), "ever-insightful" (rabble.ca) and a "Leftist gadfly" (Ottawa Citizen), Yves Engler has published nine books. His latest is A Propaganda System: how Canada's government, corporations, media and academia sell war and exploitation.

|Blog - Yves Engler's Blog April 6 Yves Engler | NDP Palestine policy offers a sort of barometer by which to evaluate the party's commitment to democracy and social justice. Right now the forecast doesn't look good.
|Blog - Yves Engler's Blog April 1 Yves Engler | In the lead up to Venezuela's election on May 20th, the Trudeau government has worked to isolate Caracas, imposed sanctions and supported the country's opposition.
|Blog - Yves Engler's Blog March 28 Yves Engler | It's dispiriting to see progressives echo a right-wing municipal party/dominant media campaign against curtailing car traffic through Montréal's mountain park.
|Blog - Yves Engler's Blog March 23 Yves Engler | Taxpayers should tell political leaders they don't want to subsidize a wealthy country in the Middle East and the Canada Revenue Agency should be pushed to investigate Jewish Federation funding.

|Blog - Yves Engler's Blog October 31 Yves Engler | Notwithstanding her government's violation of the UN and Organization of American States charters' in Venezuela, Freeland's claim that Ottawa doesn't engage in "regime change" is laughable.

|Blog - Yves Engler's Blog October 19 Yves Engler | Each year, tens of millions of dollars in public money is spent on war memorials. The Afghan Memorial is just the latest addition to Ottawa's long list of war shrines.

Al Qaeda-backed train terrorists get life sentences in Canada
TORONTO -- Two men found guilty of plotting to derail a passenger train in Canada with support from al Qaeda have been sentenced to life in prison.
Toronto Justice Michael Code on Wednesday sentenced Chiheb Esseghaier to two concurrent life sentences, as well as an additional 18 years. Raed Jaser was sentenced to life with a concurrent sentence of 13 years.
A jury convicted Esseghaier, a Tunisian national, earlier this year of planning to derail a Via train heading from New York to Toronto and four other terror-related charges.
Jaser was found guilty of conspiring to commit murder in support of terrorism and two other charges.
Jaser, who was born in the United Arab Emirates to Palestinian parents but is not an UAE citizen, was living in Toronto when he was arrested.

Living Miracles
[This is part of a letter. Naturally, all personal references have been omitted.]
Your question about miracles, and why they don't seem to happen to you personally is a very important one.
Speaking for myself, I have not yet seen the dead raised (at least not in the ordinary or bodily sense of the word "dead"), but I have been privy to other miracles, some of them quite startling. So, I have not the least doubt that what Yogananda reported [in the book "Autobiography of A Yogi"] is true and exact. Neither do I doubt that eventually you too, in this life or some other, will experience the same.
The extra-ordinary – or the miraculous – is always happening all around us. The problem is, the consciousness that is able to recognize these kinds of events for what they are depends fully upon each individual's efforts towards spiritual understanding and the grace that comes with that understanding. And that grace and that effort are, in turn, dependent upon one's surrender to God and the release of self.
Thus, the spiritual process, including meditation and other practices, is aimed simply at de-conditioning us of our doubt and our resistance to extraordinary events, and replacing that with an acceptance of the possibility of these kinds of events, and eventually even the assumption that they are normal, constant, and ubiquitous.
Of course, this de-conditioning process can require much inner work over many lives. Sometimes, however, it can be immediate and quick. It all depends upon who and what we think we are, Who and What we think God is, and how we allow those two concepts to interact.
So, what is important here is your understanding of how miracles occur, and why they occur. My experience has been that miracles are experienced most often when an individual's consciousness has expanded such that a miraculous event is no longer perceived as being "miraculous" or "super-natural", but rather as natural, spontaneous, and normal. Indeed, in my view, it is the very consciousness that believes that miracles are supernatural, and therefore not normal, that prevents an individual from experiencing the miraculous!
Thus, miracles are most likely to be experienced most often by an individual when (and if) he or she has changed consciousness sufficiently that what used to be considered miraculous is now recognized as expected, normal, and natural.
Unfortunately, I know no other way to explain this phenomenon than with these insufficient words: the more easily and naturally we perceive miracles to be, the more they occur, and the less they fascinate. Perhaps this is some kind of safeguard built into the System to preclude the misuse of God's power by a fragile and ignorant humankind – in other words, the likes of you and me!
Admittedly, this is a paradox, as is so much of the spiritual process. All the things we want when we are ego-bound, all the stuff we long for and strive for, so often unsuccessfully, we receive in abundance when (but usually only when) we no longer seek them, long for them, or ultimately even want them. Again, a failsafe device, I suspect.
Of course, our longing is indicative of self-will, isn't it? And that in turn is what interferes with God's proper flow through the mechanism that each of us calls "me." It would be nice, and certainly more exciting (how the ego loves excitement!), if we could be "me"– separate and insular– while at the same time experiencing miracles and all the rest of the delights of the spiritual process. But it doesn't work that way, or at least in our own case it hasn't. In order to receive the fruits of spiritual grace, a seeker needs to release the one and only obstruction to that grace, which is willful and narcissistic wanting and grasping.
I believe that Yogananda's purpose in writing about his own experiences is to instill in the unbeliever the possibility that these kinds of things do occur. At least, as I see it, that is the only real purpose to reporting these kinds of things. Any other purpose runs the risk of generating awe, glamour, and titillation in the reader, which, while fun, entertaining, and exciting, is only that, and does little toward bringing us closer to our Goal, which is God.
Thus, Yogananda's reportage is useful if, and only if, it expands your consciousness enough to release your doubt about the infinite possibilities open to God acting through mankind and the material universe. If reading about these kinds of events is having that affect on you, then Yogananda has served his purpose, and would undoubtedly be delighted!
Now, it is equally true that, in the beginning, the lure and glamour of these kinds of events can be helpful in getting people interested in the spiritual life. However, the purpose of spiritual life is not to experience or to perform miracles, however likely they will become in the progress of the spiritual life. Indeed, the greatest of miracles, such as those by Lahiri Mahasaya [the Guru or Teacher of Yogananda's Guru], are usually caused not by "him" but by the dynamic of the student who is projecting upon Lahiri the student's belief in possibilities. In other words, it is the student's capacity and possibility that "creates," if you will, the miracles, which in their turn inspire the student to persevere further in order to "obtain" those miracles for himself or herself. The paradox of all of this is, once again, that as the student progresses, he or she wishes less and less for miracles, and more and more for peace and realization. The miracles are the lure, and they are real; the end result is not miracle-making, but peace– whether or not "miracles" continue to occur.
Consider, too, that one of the reasons you may not be experiencing these kinds of things personally may be that you are a devotee of God's. Again, it may seem paradoxical, but often true devotees are protected from these kinds of experiences, because miraculous events, if experienced too early on in the life of a seeker, can very often be distracting, and even, sometimes, fatal to the progress of that student. Sometimes, at TZF we use the term "spiritual sports" to describe these kinds of supernatural events and related activities, because, in a very real sense, that is all they are. They do not bring us closer to God, nor do they create a wiser or more God-realized consciousness. In fact, often, although admittedly not always, they fascinate the ego, and thus, reinforce the ego, and of course, that is clearly counterproductive to spiritual growth. Indeed, throughout history, some of the more devoted Realizers rarely experienced miracles as such, because they were so immersed in God! However, their students or disciples frequently experience what they consider to be miracles in the presence of these very Teachers. Again, that fact seems to say more about the student's capacity or expectations, than the Teacher's intentions, don't you think? Indeed, it is very common that students who are in the presence of or under the tutelage of these great Teachers, experience all sorts of miraculous events, but when asked about them, the Teachers themselves claim to know nothing about them. "These things may happen around me", he or she might say, "but I do not cause them". And this makes sense, if we remember that a Realized Master is in communion without reservation with God, and that his or her function is simply to offer his or her body as a vehicle upon which seekers may rest all their hopes, beliefs, goals, and struggles. Thus, because a Teacher is clear and devoid of ego, God can be apprehended more easily by disciples who choose that Teacher as their chosen vehicle. Finally, the best of Teachers always reflect the level of the student, by virtue of the fact that the Teacher, after all is said and done, is really only a vision of God projected by the student. The greater and more inclusive that vision of God is, the more potent and inclusive becomes the Teacher.
So, if you find a Teacher who can "do" miracles, it says to you, that you are looking for a God who does miracles. There is nothing wrong with this; indeed, at first, most human beings only want that kind of a God. If, instead, you seek to love God without reservation, then whether or not you experience miracles becomes irrelevant, since your devotion for God rests only upon itself, and not upon what God "does" or "does not do" for you. Of course, for most of us, the path usually starts with the former, and evolves toward the latter as we feel increasingly safe and protected by a miraculous God. There is nothing odd about this, nor should there be any reason to be uncomfortable with or in any way reject this progression. We all start out scared of life; we have reason to be. We need a miraculous God to protect us! Thank God there is One!
With all of the foregoing in mind, your concern about not being able to witness miracles similar to those described by Yogananda, and your question about whether this is an indicator of your spiritual evolution, do not parse. Your spiritual state may or may not result in miracles. Miracles are not necessarily an indicator of evolved spiritual consciousness. Your sense of peace and happiness with life and with God is the true indicator of your progress. Experiencing miracles may be no more than a consequence of one's upbringing. Some cultures condition us to expect and see miracles, some do not. Generally, western cultures do not. My guess is that in India they do.
Whatever the case, remember this. As you become more and more surrendered to God, you will experience astonishing coincidences and other phenomena, events that do not fit the normal process of cause and effect. The more attentive and focused you are, the more will you see this.
Indeed, the more one surrenders to God, the more the world appears to turn precisely according to God's Will, whether that occurs oddly and miraculously, or normally and mundanely. But it is always benevolent, and frequently it is amazing. In essence, the process of meditation and surrender is actually and simply a process of centering oneself and quieting oneself enough to BE attentive and focused, which is to say, basically, that miracles are all around us all the time, only most of us are too distracted and inattentive to experience them. Or, another way of saying this is that if you want miracles, you will probably seldom "get" them because you will be too distracted by desire to perceive them. But it you genuinely seek to surrender yourself to God totally and consistently, then that surrender itself will open you to the miracles taking place everywhere around you. (It is a very narrow path, this spiritual process. Getting out of the way is the hardest part!)
Every life is full of miracles all the time. Our lives reflect for each of us, individually, our state of consciousness perfectly and miraculously. So, our lives only seem mundane because they seem common, and that's because most of us embrace the same paradigm. That commonality makes us think that life is not miraculous, and so, only when an event is uncommon, do we consider it a miracle. Thus, ultimately, it is all arbitrary. We are all in cahoots with one another to make our world as we know it seem predictable and normal, while, in fact, it is fluid, flexible, and totally changeable if we decide that it is. It is the deciding that is difficult, and the trust in God that it will change benevolently that is necessary for us to allow it to happen.
I hope this helps.

The World Food Prize Foundation announced that record 24 high school students will be sent abroad for internships at renowned international research centers and NGOs this summer. The students hail from Iowa and 12 other states, and will focus their studies on issues relating to hunger and poverty during eight-week, all-expenses-paid internships in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The program was created by Dr. Norman Borlaug and John Ruan, Sr. in 1998, and seeks to inspire the next generation of agricultural scientists, as well as exposing them to the wide array of fields related to global food security. Over the years, 250 young people have participated in the internship with significant impact on their educational and career choices.
"It was our founder, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Norman E. Borlaug's most ardent hope that by engaging young people in actual hunger-fighting research, they will be inspired to pursue academic and career paths in science, food, agricultural and natural resource disciplines, and thus be prepared to become tomorrow's innovative scientific and humanitarian leaders," said World Food Prize President, Ambassador Kenneth M. Quinn. "Nearly 1 billion people go hungry every day. As the world faces a growing population, climate volatility and other global challenges, the next generation will be charged with continuing the battle against hunger and finding new solutions to feed the world."
The Borlaug-Ruan Internship allows student interns to participate in projects with distinguished researchers at leading agricultural research centers around the world. Students receive a firsthand view of real and pressing food security issues and nutrition problems in poverty-stricken areas, and participate as an integral part of a project. Participants spend time in the lab as well as days or weeks at a time in the field conducting research and interviews, and gathering data.
The interns are involved in a variety of projects focused on reducing poverty and hunger, such as: fisheries and aquaculture studies; plant biotechnology research; micro-credit and the women's self-help concept; the influence of education on household food security; livestock value chains; and the calculation of Vitamin C concentration in numerous potato varieties.

Super excited to be sharing these photos today! Andrew and Sydney are such an awesome couple and are also two of my most favorite people. Andrew and JR have known each other since high school so it feels like we've always had his smiling face around. We seriously love that guy to pieces. We met Sydney a few years ago after her and Andrew starting dating and she won us over right off the bat with her sweetness and her warm heart!
Andrew actually proposed to Sydney while ice fishing and it. was. awesome. JR and I were lucky enough to be a part of it and I got to grab some photos during the whole thing. Here are a few of them!
These two are kind of amazing. They hang out with the girls and JR and I, even though we are kind of lame and our idea of a fun night is playing board games and going to bed by ten :) They have an adorable kind of love that makes you smile and they always have a good time together. They cruise around in their sweet boat at Canyon Ferry during the summers and are avid ice fishers for the other seven months of the year. They are still trying to talk JR and I into picking that up.....we shall see :)
We decided to grab some engagement photos this past weekend up at Hyalite, and since the weather has been downright gorgeous lately it was the perfect timing! These two actually brought their whole family with them, which includes Echo the dog and Willow the cat.
Echo was obviously excited to be up in the mountains. Willow....not so much. But she did well all things considered.
We also got a pretty amazing shot which Andrew told us almost instantly reminded him of a twilight poster. I went ahead and ran with it.
The coolest part of this whole thing is that JR and I actually get to be in the wedding this October! Also, the kiddos get to be flower girls! So excited!
*Full disclosure, I may have double checked with them first to make sure that they didn't want me to put my photographer hat on instead of a bridesmaid dress at their wedding. Apparently that's not the normal way to respond when someone asks you to be a bridesmaid. Cue facepalm...
We are so thrilled to be a part of our friends' big day. This is going to be the most amazing wedding ever, mainly because these two are amazing and in love and they totally and completely deserve to live happily ever after together :)
Congrats to Andrew and Sydney! Can't wait for October!

I found this when working with one of my students who likes to watch videos on YouTube, and he'd been working hard with his switches and was refusing to whack any more gophers on the head with a newspaper when they came down the pipe (the gophers are OK, really, just stunned for a moment). I think he may be a closet animal rights activist. Or would that be non-activist? Anyway, I was tired of watching him not whack the gophers–I was starting to hit the switch instead of him just because once you got three, they do a little dance, and he liked that.
The Priory Woods site has a video section that's switch activated, and there's one with this crazy frog in it, literally called Crazy Frog, so I checked it out on YouTube. I found this video, which is not the same frog (at all–the other frog is just darn weird) and showed it to him.
It had been a long day, and when I was home, I checked it out again. And again. About ten times later, I decided that maybe, a la The Ring, if I forwarded the link to someone else, I would stop being obsessed with it. (without all the morbid dying parts. She did, however, drop her phone and shatter the front of it. I hope there was no connection between the two. I just thought of that.) I sent it to my teacher, and she liked it. We watched it today in the classroom during music since we were doing dances (doing the Elmo Slide with my little guy in his wheelchair was interesting and fun, especially the part where you jump three times–he enjoyed it–I've never bounced a wheelchair before) and it was awesome to see the Crazy Frogs on the wall of the classroom (we moved our smart board out of the way so the kids would have more room). I am still somewhat obsessed by it, but not nearly as badly, and I convinced myself that buying the music and making a ringtone out of it would make me one of those people that drive me crazy because they have an annoying ringtone.
I just have to say that I am very, very glad it is Friday and we have Spring Break in a week. We know it. I think the kids know it.
There was an interesting development today. Was working with my little guy–I think I've mentioned I hold up cards for him to identify and he touches them with his head when I ask him what is what–e.g. "Show me the triangle." Sometimes he goes crazy touching cards before I've asked him anything. So today I finally said, "Alright, so you're trying to be Yuri Gellar here or what?" (I know, he wasn't bending spoons). I asked him, "OK, I want you to show me the card I'm thinking of." And he did. I switched the card I wasn't thinking of to another one and kept the one I had been–a circle, and picked that one again but put it in the other hand and asked him the same thing. He picked the right one again. Now, there are lots of explanations–he had a 50/50 chance each time, he likes the circle, he thought I might chose the same shape, we have spent too much time together and are experiencing some sort of odd Vulcan mind meld…that sort of thing. But I am going to explore this further. I've always had a theory that some people with disabilities were possibly more likely to be more sensitive in other areas that we usually just dismiss because they're unscientific. I wasn't looking at the card, as Helena said might have tipped him off–I was looking straight at him from between the cards. Hm. So, between that and the Crazy Frogs, it's been interesting. Oh, I shouldn't forget the Elmo Slide. I didn't think I would be doing any of those things today.
I think I need a cup of tea. Did I say I was glad it was Friday already?

When I was bulimic my mom would try and have conversations with me whenever I went to bathroom. It is EXTREMELY difficult to to hold a conversation and puke, and it is totally obvious. Also, people would delay me going into the bathroom with small talk or outright blocking the door after a big meal, this pissed me off. You can surely tell if a person is bulimic when you block them from the bathroom and they become furious and leave to hurl outside or something. That is what I did, sorry to say. Hope this helps!

Merkel: NATO Must Refocus on Russia Threat
By Deutsche Welle and Politico
Following the Russian annexation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula and Moscow's support for rebels in eastern Ukraine, Merkel said it was important for NATO to "focus more on defending the alliance."
"To do that we have to make necessary arrangements, for example through a presence in central and Eastern European countries," she said.
From Politico: NATO must focus on setting up a presence at the alliance's Eastern flank to defend itself from potential Russian aggression, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said.
Her remarks, ahead of a summit of NATO leaders in Brussels next week, will be seen as a strong reaffirmation of the military alliance's relevance and a statement from Europe's most powerful leader of what she sees as its future direction. There are fears that U.S. President Donald Trump, who will attend the summit and has in the past referred to it as "obsolete", will next week seek to undermine NATO further....
"Of course, we want to have a responsible relationship with Russia," Merkel said in the statement, adding "that's the reason why we will continue to have talks in the NATO-Russia Council."
At the same time though, the alliance "has to show determination to protect us," she said.

Jujutsu is a technical martial art that dates back to the 1400's during the Sengoku period in Japan. Jujutsu was used on the battlefield for close combat in situations where weapons were ineffective.
In the early 17th century during the Edo period, jujutsu would continue to evolve. Prior to that time, these skills had names such as short sword grappling, body art, catching hand and the way of softness (judo). Nearly two centuries before Kanō Jigorō founded the modern art of Kodokan Judo.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) was developed after Mitsuyo Maeda brought judo to Brazil in 1914. Maeda agreed to teach the art to Luiz França and Carlos Gracie, son of his friend, businessman and politician Gastão Gracie. Luiz França went on to teach it to Oswaldo Fadda. After Carlos learned the art from Maeda, he passed his knowledge to his brothers Oswaldo, Gastão Jr., and George. Meanwhile, Hélio Gracie would peek in and practice the techniques, although he was told he was too young to practice. At the time, judo was still commonly called Kano jiu-jitsu (from its founder Kanō Jigorō), which is why this derivative of judo is called Brazilian jiu-jitsu rather than Brazilian judo. Its emphasis shifted to ground grappling because the Gracie family thought it was more efficient and much more practical. Carlos and Helio helped the development by promoting fights (mostly against practitioners of other martial arts), competitions and experimenting throughout decades of intense training. BJJ dominated the first large modern mixed martial arts competitions, causing the emerging field to adopt many of its practices. Less-practiced stand-up techniques in Gracie Jiu- Jitsu remain from its judo and jujutsu heritage (knife defense, gun defense, throws, blocking, striking etc.)
Today Jiu-Jitsu is becoming the most sought after martial art for it's real life practical use. Jiu-Jitsu has grown in it's popularity in the United states and the number of practitioners continue to grow.
