Intel Chief says Sequestration to Hamper Cyberthreats Fight

At a hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee today, National Intelligence Director James clapper said cyberthreats are the biggest problem facing the U.S. today. His prepared remarks are here.
Clapper explained that cyber threats are broken into two terms: cyberattacks and cyberespionage. Cyberattacks aim at creating physical effects or to manipulate, disrupt or delete data. "It might range from a denial-of-service operation that temporarily prevents access to a website to an attack on a power turbine that causes physical damage and an outage lasting for days," he said. Cyber espionage refers to stealing data from a variety of sources.
"We judge that there is a remote chance of a major cyberattack against U.S. critical infrastructure systems during the next two years that would result in long-term, wide-scale disruption of services, such as a regional power outage," Clapper said.
More from Clapper:
A more insidious cyber threat comes from foreign intelligence and security services that have penetrated numerous computer networks of U.S. government, business, academic and private-sector entities, Clapper said. "Most detected activity has targeted unclassified networks connected to the Internet, but foreign cyber actors are also targeting classified networks," he said. "Importantly, much of the nation's critical proprietary data are on sensitive, but unclassified, networks -- and the same is true for most of our closest allies."
On cyber-terrorists:
U.S, intelligence agencies track cyber developments among terrorist groups, activist hackers and cyber criminals, the intelligence director said. "We have seen indications that some terrorist organizations have heightened interest in developing offensive cyber capabilities," he added, "but they will probably be constrained by inherent resource and organizational limitations and competing priorities."
On Hactivists:
intelligence professionals have not observed a significant change in their capabilities or intentions during the last year, Clapper said.
"Most hacktivists use short-term denial-of-service operations or expose personally identifiable information held by target companies, as forms of political protest," he said, adding that this could change.
On economic cyber-espionage:
"However, we assess that economic cyber espionage will probably allow the actors who take this information to reap unfair gains in some industries."
Clapper also protested sequestration cuts:
The required cuts "will reduce human technical and counterintelligence operations, resulting in fewer collection opportunities, while increasing the risk of strategic surprise," Clapper added. "All we're asking for is the latitude on how to take them to minimize the damage."
His description of threats sounds very qualified to me (some are remote, some are possible and others probable in a few years.) But, of course, there was Dianne Feinstein, promising to introduce "an amendment to allow intelligence budgets the same degree of flexibility permitted for general Defense Department spending."

someone can shout "BOO!!" at us before it stops being scary.
Seriously, if the consequences of budget cuts are so dire, why the ongoing zeal to make them?
Defense says we're all going up in a ball of terrorist flame. Homeland Security says we will be overrun with brown people who want to kill us. The TSA says there will be long lines at airports and not enough controllers to manage air traffic. Intelligence says our entire cyberstructure will be compromised into uselessness. The air and water will be dirtier, the food will be less safe, the pharmaceuticals will be more dangerous.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, services that affect real people on a day-to-day basis - children, the poor, seniors, the disabled and chronically ill - are also targeted for cuts that will have a profound impact on the ability of many of them to have anything remotely resembling a minimally decent standard of living. But all this "BOO!!" from the anti-terror monolith and the corporate juggernaut is having the effect of deafening people to the really scary consequences of cuts on the domestic front.
So, hello - don't just carve out exceptions for those with the biggest sticks, just admit that this is all a game of smoke and mirrors - as evidenced by the fact that even before the cuts, the deficit is going down, and repeal the freaking sequester.
The lot of them should be thrown out on their ears for the level of malfeasance, incompetence, ignorance and chutzpah to which they are subjecting us.

There isn't a person on this site who couldn't come up with $85 billion in cuts that would have a big impact on anyone...Enough with the scare tactics.

Dollars to donuts no one at DHS or TSA or FBI or CIA has even checked to see what they're spending on office supplies...how did the boy who cried wolf end up in charge of every federal agency?

I'd like to see us do so. At the very least, some standards around storage of personal data would be nice.

But one has to laugh a little after hearing that FBI director Robert Mueller's personal information was splashed across the web a few days ago by "hackatavists." I mean, really. What does it take to secure the personal information of the top dog of our nation's domestic intelligence agency??
Haven't you heard... (none / 0) (#7)
Mueller got hacked because the sequester...lol.
If a cut of 2% (none / 0) (#5)

destroys us then we truly are in disastrous shape.
One (none / 0) (#6)
by lentinel on Tue Mar 12, 2013 at 10:02:45 PM EST
thing I get from all this is that the people who were our enemies are still our enemies. Not much progress there.
that's the sequester's fault too...2% less to spend on peace-making. We were this close to world peace and harmony...this close! lol

The 35-year-old former 'Fashion Police' host is aiming to continue her three years of sobriety into 2020, with a source claiming that she started drinking heavily again in 2019 in light of her parent's divorce. In high spirits however, Kelly writes in an Instagram post: "2019 has been one hell of a year. In many ways it has been amazing especially in terms of self-growth. In many ways it has been gut-wrenchingly difficult. However through all the good and bad it has been incredibly educational for me."
She continues: "I have come to the realization that I constantly put the needs of others before my own. I allow myself to be put in situations that make me feel uncomfortable for fear of upsetting someone else. Not forgetting the amount of times I co-sign the bulls–t of others." Take a look below and let us know: DO YOU THINK KELLY OSBOURNE SHOULD GET SOME HELP WITH HER SOBRIETY? SHOULD SHE GO TO AA?
2019 has been one hell of a year. In many ways it has been amazing especially in terms of self-growth. In many ways it has been gut-wrenchingly difficult. However through all the good and bad it has been incredibly educational for me. I have come to the realization that I constantly put the needs of others before my own. I allow myself to be put in situations that make me feel uncomfortable for fear of upsetting someone else. Not forgetting the amount of times I co-sign the bullshit of others. With almost 2 1/2 years of sobriety under my belt I still struggle with confrontation (which was NEVER a problem when I was using) Well this all STOPS today. 2020 is going to be the year of me!!! It's time to put myself first, stop taking on other peoples shit and be the badass sober women I was born to be. #HappyNewYear I love you guys 💜

The countdown to the 40th Toronto International Film Festival is on, with Opening Night just five weeks from tomorrow. You can count on my coverage, of course -- this will be my 10th year attending TIFF. I saw over 255 films there from 2006-2014, and many of my year-end Top Picks across all festivals over the past few years (out of over 1500 in total) came from the Toronto lineup.
This year's event runs from September 10-20. Almost every major Oscar-winning film of the past few years debuted in Toronto. I've been to over 75 film festivals since the start of 2006, but none as prestigious or breathtaking in scope as TIFF, which most consider to be the top film festival in the Western Hemisphere, second in the world only to Cannes. The number of features is expected to total over 250 with most being World, International, or North American Premieres.
Previously announced titles include 49 Galas and Special Presentations. Today's announcement focused on host country Canada. Looking back I've found that many of the films I've selected as Top Picks over the years came from the lineup of Canadian entries. Our neighbor to the north hasn't always been known as a hotbed for filmmaking talent -- even the locals deride the native industry -- but I've been very impressed with many of the titles and look forward to them every year. There have been over 2,000 Canadian films at TIFF since 1976.
"The Festival is excited to showcase these distinctively Canadian voices," said TIFF Senior Programmer Steve Gravestock. "From compelling documentaries on pressing social issues and complex, affecting dramas to
political satires, we are proud to share the impressive range and talent of Canada's directors." Added Magali Simard, TIFF Film Programmes Manager, "This year's filmmakers represent the depth and diversity of Canadian storytelling. By presenting the strong perspectives of the best and brightest in the film industry from across the country, we share with audiences the unique ways Canadians view the world."
One filmmaker will win the Canada Goose Award for Best Canadian Feature Film. In addition, the City of Toronto Award for Best Canadian First Feature Film will be presented to the Canadian filmmaker with the most impressive debut feature. The Canadian awards jury includes filmmaker Don McKellar (The Grand Seduction), Jacqueline Lyanga (Director of AFI Fest), and Ilda Santiago (Programming and Executive Director of Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival).
TIFF revealed 24 Canadian narrative and documentary features, including three Special Presentations, five TIFF Docs, five films in this year's Discovery section, four in Contemporary World Cinema, three vanguard titles, and four Wavelengths features. Also announced were four free Wavelengths installations, the list of four Rising Stars for 2015, and the Short Cuts Canada section, where 44 films were chosen.
You can purchase Festival ticket packages online 24 hours a day at tiff.net/festival, by phone from 10 AM to 7 PM Eastern Time at 416-599-TIFF or 1-888-599-8433, or by visiting the Gupta Box Office in person from 10 AM to 10 PM Eastern Time daily at TIFF Bell Lightbox, Reitman Square, 350 King Street West, until August 26 while quantities last.
This year's TIFF Rising Stars are Deragh Campbell, Stephan James, Aliocha Schneider, and Karelle Tremblay. See the press release HERE (PDF). You can find all 44 films in the Short Cuts Canada section HERE (PDF).
Here are the 24 features announced today (descriptions provided by the festival):
Born to be Blue - Robert Budreau, Canada/United Kingdom World Premiere

Into the Forest - Patricia Rozema, Canada World Premiere
In a not-too-distant future, sisters Nell and Eva find themselves shuttered in their home. Surrounded by nothing but miles of dense forest, the sisters must fend for themselves using the supplies and food reserves they have before turning to the forest to discover what it will provide.

Starring Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood.
Ville-Marie - Guy Édoin, Canada World Premiere
An actress shooting a movie hopes to reconcile with her son. A paramedic haunted by his past tries to stay the course, while a caring nurse keeps an eye on him from afar as she tries, at the same time, to keep an emergency room running.

TIFF DOCS
Al Purdy Was Here - Brian D. Johnson, Canada World Premiere

Guantanamo's Child: Omar Khadr - Patrick Reed and Michelle Shephard, Canada World Premiere
Omar Khadr: child soldier or unrepentant terrorist? The 28-year-old Canadian has been a polarizing figure since he was 15. In 2002, Khadr was captured by American forces in Afghanistan and charged with war crimes, including murder. After spending half his life behind bars, including a decade at Guantanamo, Khadr is released. This is his story, in his own words.
Ninth Floor - Mina Shum, Canada World Premiere
It started quietly when six Caribbean students, strangers in a cold new land, began to suspect their professor of racism. It ended in the most explosive student uprising Canada had even known. Over four decades later, Ninth Floor reopens the file on the infamous Sir George Williams Riot: a watershed moment in Canadian race relations and one of the most contested episodes in the nation's history. Director Mina Shum (Double Happiness) locates the protagonists in clandestine locations throughout Trinidad and Montreal — the wintry city where it all went down. In a cinematic gesture of reckoning and redemption, she listens as they set the record straight.
This Changes Everything - Avi Lewis, Canada/USA World Premiere
Seven powerful portraits of community resistance around the world lead to one big question: what if confronting the climate crisis is the best chance we'll ever get to build a better world? Inspired by Naomi Klein's international bestseller and directed by her partner Avi Lewis, This Changes Everything is an affecting and hopeful call to action.
Welcome to F.L. - Geneviève Dulude-De Celles, Canada World Premiere
Welcome to F.L. portrays a community of teenagers navigating their environment, identity and other questions of youth within their high-school world in a small town in Quebec. Learning to define themselves inside and outside school boundaries as they transition into the challenges of adulthood, they expose refreshing points of view filled with humour, philosophy and courage.
Closet Monster - Stephen Dunn, Canada World Premiere
Oscar Madly hovers on the brink of adulthood — destabilized by his dysfunctional parents, unsure of his sexuality, and haunted by horrific images of a tragic gay bashing he witnessed as a child. A talking hamster, imagination and the prospect of love help him confront his surreal demons and discover himself. Starring 2015 TIFF Rising Star Aliocha Schneider and 2014 Rising Star Connor Jessup.
Fire Song - Adam Garnet Jones, Canada World Premiere
When a teenage girl commits suicide in a remote Northern Ontario Aboriginal community, it's up to her brother Shane to take care of their family. Shane was supposed to move to the city for university in the fall, and has been trying to convince his secret boyfriend to come with him, but now everything is uncertain. Torn between his responsibilities at home and the promise of freedom calling him to the city, circumstances take a turn for the worse and Shane has to choose between his family and his future.
The Rainbow Kid - Kire Paputts, Canada World Premiere
Part gritty coming-of-age story, part episodic road film filled with magic realism, The Rainbow Kid follows Eugene, a young man with Down syndrome as he embarks on a life-changing adventure to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
River - Jamie M. Dagg, Canada/Laos World Premiere
In the south of Laos, an American volunteer doctor becomes a fugitive after he intervenes in the sexual assault of a young woman. When the assailant's body is pulled from the Mekong River, things quickly spiral out of control. Starring Rossif Sutherland.
Sleeping Giant - Andrew Cividino, Canada North American Premiere
Spending his summer vacation on rugged Lake Superior, teenager Adam befriends Riley and Nate, smart aleck cousins who pass their ample free time with pranks, vandalism and reckless cliff jumping. The revelation of a hurtful secret sets in motion a series of irreversible events that test the bonds of friendship and change the boys forever.
CONTEMPORARY WORLD CINEMA
How Heavy This Hammer - Kazik Radwanski, Canada World Premiere
Erwin, a 47-year-old father of two, spends his time idly procrastinating between work and family, and is seemingly more engaged by playing a crude Viking computer game. His listless energy is contrasted on weekends by throwing himself into 'old boys' rugby matches. As Erwin's marriage with his wife becomes increasingly compromised, something stirs inside him… or maybe something has stopped stirring.
My Internship in Canada - Philippe Falardeau, Canada North American Premiere
Guibord is an independent Member of Parliament representing a vast county in Northern Quebec who unwillingly finds himself in the awkward position of determining whether Canada will go to war. Accompanied by his wife, daughter and Souverain (Sovereign) Pascal, an idealistic intern from Haiti, Guibord travels across his district in order to consult his constituents and face his own conscience. This film is a sharp political satire in which politicians, citizens and lobbyists go head-to-head tearing democracy to shreds.
Our Loved Ones (Les êtres chers) - Anne Émond, Canada North American Premiere
The story begins in 1978 in a small town on the Lower St. Lawrence, where the Leblanc family is rocked by the tragic death of Guy, found dead in the basement of the family home. For many years, the real cause of his death is hidden from certain members of the family, his son David among them. David starts his own family with his wife Marie and lovingly raises his children, Laurence and Frédéric, but deep down he still carries with him a kind of unhappiness. Our Loved Ones is a film of filial love, family secrets, redemption and inherited fate. Featuring 2015 TIFF Rising Star Karelle Tremblay.
The Waiting Room - Igor Drljaca, Canada North American Premiere
Jasmin, once a successful actor in former Yugoslavia, now lives in Toronto with his second wife and young son. While juggling a construction job and a busy audition schedule, he dreams of re-launching an old televised stage show that made him famous in his homeland. When he is cast in a role that triggers recollections of the civil war, he is forced to reconcile his current reality with memories of his past success. From the team behind Krivina and In Her Place.
Endorphine - André Turpin, Canada World Premiere
Thirteen-year-old Simone is trying to feel emotion again as a trauma survivor. Twenty-five-year-old Simone is a solitary woman trying to control panic attacks. Sixty-year-old Simone is an accomplished physician who gives a conference on the nature of time. The new film from celebrated director and cinematographer André Turpin intertwines the lives of three women in an intoxicating cinematic puzzle.
Hellions - Bruce McDonald, Canada Canadian Premiere
Strange trick-or-treaters plague conflicted teenager Dora Vogel at her isolated home on Halloween. Under siege by forces she can't understand, Dora must defend both body and soul from relentless hellions, dead set on possessing something Dora will not give them. Set in a visually haunting landscape, Hellions redefines the boundaries of horror with its potent brew of Halloween iconography, teenage angst and desperate survival. Starring Chloe Rose.
No Men Beyond This Point - Mark Sawers, Canada North American Premiere
Sixty years ago, women began reproducing asexually, and now are no longer able to give birth to male babies. This deadpan mockumentary follows 37-year -old Andrew Myers — the youngest man alive —who is at the centre of a battle to save men from extinction. No Men Beyond This Point asks what would happen if only women ran the world.
88:88 - Isiah Medina, Canada North American Premiere
A digital cinema incendiary, Isiah Medina's anticipated feature debut explodes with ideas about time, love, knowledge, poverty, and poetry, all erupting within a densely layered montage that is formally rigorous and emotionally raw. 88:88 (or --:--) is what appears when bills are paid after the electricity has been abruptly cut off, demonstrating that people who live in poverty live in suspended time.
88:88 will be preceded by Denis Côté's short film May We Sleep Soundly.
The Forbidden Room - Evan Johnson and Guy Maddin, Canada Canadian Premiere
Honouring classic cinema while electrocuting it with energy, Evan Johnson and Guy Maddin's grand ode to lost cinema begins (after a prologue on how to take a bath) with the crew of a doomed submarine chewing flapjacks in a desperate attempt to breathe the oxygen within. Suddenly, a lost woodsman wanders into their company to tell his tale of escape from a fearsome clan of cave dwellers, and we are taken high into the air, around the world, and into dreamscapes, spinning tales of amnesia, captivity, deception and murder, skeleton women and vampire bananas. Like a glorious meeting between Italo Calvino, Sergei Eisenstein and a perverted six-year-old child, created with the help of master poet John Ashberry, Mathieu Amalric, Udo Kier, Charlotte Rampling, Geraldine Chaplin, Roy Dupuis, Clara Furey, Louis Negin, Maria de Medeiros, Jacques Nolot, Adèle Haenel, Amira Casar and Elina Löwensohn make up a cavalcade of misfits, thieves and lovers.
Invention - Mark Lewis, United Kingdom/Canada World Premiere
Shot in Paris, São Paulo and Toronto, Mark Lewis' anthology of films captures the ever-changing textures of these cities through moving images of glass, light, shadows and reflections, offering homage to the City Symphony films of the 1920s, while also juxtaposing modernist architecture with the compositional structures of old master paintings.
Minotaur - Nicolás Pereda, Mexico/Canada World Premiere
Acclaimed Mexican-Canadian auteur Nicolás Pereda (Greatest Hits) returns to the Festival with this lovely, wraithlike fantasy that observes three thirty-somethings as they sleep, dream, read and receive visitors in a Mexico City apartment.
Free and open to the public during the Festival, the following Wavelengths Installations will be showcased at various venues throughout downtown Toronto:
Bring Me The Head of Tim Horton - Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson World Premiere
Guided by the spirit of Maddin's "Cuadecec Manifesto" (which calls for makings-of en masse), Bring Me the Head of Tim Horton is a strange and stirring behind-the-scenes look at Paul Gross's new feature, Hyena Road. Shot on location at CFB Shilo near Brandon, Manitoba and in Aqaba, Jordan, the film summons psychedelic energy from the main event. Presented at TIFF Bell Lightbox, Reitman Square, 350 King Street West.
The Forbidden Room - A Living Poster - Galen Johnson World Premiere
Initially designed to promote Evan Johnson and Guy Maddin's The Forbidden Room, A Living Poster employs the same digital techniques used to create the text-based intertitles and treat the footage within the film. A looping collection of living, moving, morphing posters, it blurs the boundaries between poster and trailer and suggests an anachronistic collision between digitally corrupted video files and a damaged film print from the silent era forming a beguiling hybrid aesthetic of digital data loss and decaying analogue emulsion. Presented at TIFF Bell Lightbox, Reitman Square, 350 King Street West.
La Giubba - Tony Romano and Corin Sworn, Canada/United Kingdom World Premiere
The first major collaboration between Canadian artist Tony Romano and English-born, Toronto-raised Corin Sworn, La Giubba follows the intersections of five drifters over the course of two summer days in southern Italy. This installation is presented in partnership with Clint Roenisch Gallery (190 St Helens Ave, Toronto).
Stories are Meaning-Making Machines - Annie MacDonnell and Maïder Fortuné, France/Canada International Premiere
A live in-cinema reading at TIFF Bell Lightbox performed by Canadian artist Annie MacDonnell and French artist Maïder Fortuné which explores a new form of cinematic memory. Originally commissioned by Le Centre Pompidou's Hors Pistes Festival, Paris.
Deepa Mehta's Beeba Boys, Jon Cassar's Forsaken, Paul Gross' Hyena Road (Hyena Road: Le Chemin du Combat), and Atom Egoyan's Remember are Canadian features previously announced in the Galas Programme.

What practical concerns led to the use of multicast?
Answers to a question on SF explain the differences between broadcast and multicast. It is not clear yet for me which practical concerns brought in the usage of multicast.
My understanding is that, for both broadcast and multicast, the packet is presented to each host on the wire and
for broadcast the client processes the packet to check if it there is something relevant for that client inside
for multicast, the client can choose to process the packet (by having a service subscribe to 224-239 addresses) to check if it there is something relevant for that client inside
If yes, why not having only broadcast addresses and let the client decide on the usefulness of the received packet?
is the concern on the processing power? Probably not as all broadcast packets need to be processed anyway (or atl least thereis no way to distinguish in advance on how pertinent a packet is)
is the concern on routing? This is more understandable: a router can route multicast packets only, assuming that these ones are of interest for devices further on, as opposed to broadcast which is supposed to be local.
Note: moved from SF following suggestions to do so.
multicast broadcast
is the concern on the processing power?
Yes. A multicast flood of a given size/volume in a given broadcast domain has less (global) impact on the set of hosts being exposed to it than a broadcast storm of the same size.
Probably not as all broadcast packets need to be processed anyway
Yes. A broadcast packet must be processed, up to at least layer 4, to find port numbers or other payload properties that allow to tell if the packet is relevant to the host and its services/processes.
(or at least there is no way to distinguish in advance on how pertinent a packet is)
There isn't for broadcast, but for multicast, there is: Destination addresses.
Upon an incoming multicast packet, a host's network stack can decide early on, based on destination MAC (starting with 01-..) or IP Multicast (224.0.0.0/4) address, if the given packet needs further processing or if it may be discarded. A broadcast packet however must be "passed further up the stack" to look at layer 4 properties until it becomes clear if there is any process on the host interested in it.
Also see OSPF and its use of Multicast
is the concern on routing?
Let's call that "efficient forwarding" instead of routing.
Practically, the difference between broadcast (Dst: 255.255.255.255) and link-local multicast (Dst:224.0.0.0/24, which MUST NOT be routed) isn't all that big, especially all switches will flood multicast traffic for 224.0.0.0/24 as if it were broadcast. Speakers and listeners of 224.0.0.0/24 do not use IGMP, and any switch's attempt to IGMP-snoop 224.0.0.0/24 is therefore futile. However, 224.0.0.0/24 is only for special purposes anyway, and should never be used for applications as such.
it's a different story with "regular" multicast, where hosts tell routers which groups they wish to receive (using IGMP) and where switches can eavesdrop ("snoop") on the IGMP messages and adapt their own internal Layer2 forwarding tables accordingly, so not every 100Mbit/s connected printer (with their weakling CPU) is hit by the 20Mbit/s High Definition video stream of the CEO's speech or the 25Mbit/s stock exchange market data feed.
In short: In a LAN/VLAN/Broadcast domain, bar the use case of low-volume/low-packet rate discovery mechanisms (like done with the 224.0.0.0/24 addresses), you do not want to (locally) forward any of those things as broadcast which are known to work well on multicast or unicast (i.e. audio and video dissemination, or flows of market data). Unsuspecting hosts which have no need for any of these data flows should not be forced to process data they never asked for.

Love God. LOVE OTHERS. Share Jesus. Make disciples. Loved people love people. As we have received the love of the Lord we should express the love of the Lord to others.
The Bible challenges us to be faithful managers (stewards) in 1 Corinthians 4:2. We are called to be faithful managers of the resources that God has entrusted to us. Intentional living means that we purposefully invest in the eternal work of the Gospel through the local church.
As believers we need a heart of revival. As we cling to God's promises we seek to live a clean and holy life. May we find genuine spiritual renewal.


It's an interesting phenomenon in the world of yoga. Perhaps you've found this in other places, but it seems like we're always trying to do a "new" pose or a "new" sequence. I certainly know as a new teacher I tried to create something "new" week after week. But if we look at the practice of yoga as a discipline just like any other, we have to acknowledge that the key to learning anything is repetition.
The definition of "a discipline" is a branch of knowledge, typically one studied in higher education. Having lived in the world of higher education for a whopping 9+ years, I feel pretty confident in saying that yoga is certainly up there with any branch of knowledge one might study in a university. Not only for its content, but also for its depth and breadth. It would be easy to study yoga for many lifetimes and still only scratch the surface of what's there for us to examine.
By coming back to our mats over and over again we get the opportunity to connect to this discipline of yoga much more deeply. Each time we come back we make that scratch in the surface of this knowledge just a little deeper.
Strength and flexibility in the mind or the body only develop with time and practice. With attention and discipline. With the commitment to come back to it over and over again. With each repetition, we continue to lay down the neural pathways we need not only to find the coordination to put that front knee over the ankle with precision, but to truly understand what it means to do so physically, energetically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We develop not just coordination in the movement of the front leg back to down dog or forward into a lunge, we get to explore what that means in the body we're living in at that moment.
As a teacher, I have seen the difference this idea of repetition has brought to the practice not only for myself but for my students. Just like learning my scales when I was playing bassoon, I can see what a difference that continued attentive repetition creates in all the aspects above in myself and others. For those that have been practicing with me, I hope you can see/feel that too.
I'll continue to dedicate myself to creating a curriculum of practice that helps you explore this branch of knowledge we call yoga, with all the depth and breadth that it provides for us on this amazing journey we call life. You just need to continue to show up.


My first baby girl will be turning SEVEN on Sunday, yikes!!!
This year Kinley challenged my creativity by telling me that she wants a penguin party for her birthday. I take my challenges very seriously and have been busy planning this funky penguin party! There will be lots of black and white polka dots with a little bit of black and white damask all accented with hot pink!! Below is a sneak peak at her Oreo cookie favors favors for her penguin party.
Brittany Nelson - What an adorable theme! I have never been to a penguin party before but this is certainly how it should be done!

Don't laugh. I thought this was pretty interesting.
"When you mention the name Bon Jovi, you are really talking about two things: it's the name of one of the most famous rock bands in the world, and it's also the name of its front man and lead singer, Jon Bon Jovi. Either way, after a quarter of a century in the spotlight, you are still talking about one of the most successful acts in music history.
As correspondent Steve Kroft reports, since emerging from the clubs of the New Jersey shore a decade after Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi has sold just as many records around the world, but without the fanfare and critical acclaim.
None of it would have happened without the founder, Jon Bon Jovi: showman, salesman, philanthropist, sportsman, and clear-eyed CEO, who is very much an anomaly in the music business. .."
I loved this: "...A few days later the traveling circus with 92 employees and 27 truckloads of gear had moved west to Pittsburgh. And as with everything else in his life, Jon Bon Jovi is the ringmaster.
Asked what his payroll is, Bon Jovi told Kroft, "Outdoors it's a couple million a week. Indoors it's half of that. It's high. I mean, I get sick, man. There ain't no insurance for that, you know."...

Abortion is legal in Aotearoa New Zealand with the agreement of two certifying doctors. There is no legal age limit on having an abortion in New Zealand.
Is abortion legal in Aotearoa New Zealand?
In New Zealand the law says it is legal to have an abortion if two certifying consultants (doctors) agree that continuing the pregnancy would result in serious danger to a woman's mental or physical health.
Abortion is regulated by a number of laws in New Zealand.
What laws regulate abortion in Aotearoa New Zealand?
The Contraception, Sterilisation, and Abortion Act (CS&A Act) 1977 and amendments, established the Abortion Supervisory Committee which reports annually to the New Zealand Parliament.
This Committee sets up and maintains the list of certifying consultants who decide whether a woman meets the lawful ground for an abortion under the Crimes Act 1961.
The Committee also oversees the quality of services and where they are available. The CS&A Act also restricts where abortions may be performed and outlines the procedures to be adopted by a woman seeking an abortion.
Section 38 of the Care of Children Act 2004 determines that a young woman under the age of 16 can consent to an abortion but she must still go through the process outlined under the CS&A 1977.
foetal abnormality (added in the July 1978 amendment).
foetal abnormality in itself is not a ground for abortion after 20 weeks.
Abortions in Aotearoa New Zealand can only take place after a woman has followed the process set down in law.
You can put your health at risk by taking medications, especially prescription medications, without seeing a doctor. Imported medication may not meet safety standards and may be poor quality.
are concerned about your symptoms.
In 2006, the Director General of Health issued a statement about the importation of unapproved and prescription only medicine. Read the Director General's statement.
Is there an age limit to have an abortion?
There is no legal age limit on seeking or having an abortion.
This means that a woman or girl of any age can agree (consent) to have an abortion or refuse to have one. No-one can force you to have an abortion or to continue a pregnancy.
It is also your decision who you tell about the procedure – this includes your parent and parents. If you are a teenager, it is a good idea to talk to a parent or another trusted adult. If you do choose to seek an abortion, it is good to have adult support.
You will need to see two doctors who must agree that you have good reasons for the abortion under New Zealand abortion law.
For more information visit the Abortion in New Zealand website.
Conscientious objection is when a doctor does not believe in providing a service such as abortion or contraception.
A doctor who has a conscientious objection to abortion is not required to assist in the performance of an abortion and, under a December 2010 High Court ruling, may also refuse to refer you for assessment.
However, the doctor must inform you that you can obtain the service from another health care provider.
The Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (Section 174) addresses the issue of conscientious objection.
New Zealand laws affect your sexual and reproductive health in a number of ways. It is important to know what these are.
