Man is neither a machine nor a device but a being, a complex being indeed. He therefore cannot be saved by machinery; only by a spirito-psychological path, by an entire change which shall affect all the members of his being, can he be liberated from his discords and imperfections. Shiva-yoga is a path at the perfecting of man in all his members, at the spiritualization of all his forces. On this pilgrim's path there are the psychological states of spiritual consciousness. Being and becoming, one and many are both true and are both the same thing. The Aikya or united with God has the knowledge of reality and lives in the truth consciousness, his will becomes the spontaneous law of the truth in him and knowing all its acts and the objective leads straight to the human destiny which is the enjoyment of delight – the state of immortality. From contact set up with the divine delight, he draws that amazing strength, that immovable peace, that power of dealing with circumstance which is one of the most marked tics of the unitive or eternal life.
This is the psychological aspect of Shiva-yoga as dealt by Shri Kumarswamiji in the following article.
It is now generally accepted that the subject of Yoga is among the oldest and richest of human traditions and was perhaps well established during the Indus Valley civilization about 5000 years ago. The inscriptions found at Mohenjo Daro and Harappa have revealed the existence of God Shiva, seated in a Yoga posture. The term "Minakanna" obtained in the same inscription suggests the early idea of Yogic discipline. In those remote days, the Yogis noted for their asceticism and discipline were addressed as Minas. Shiva-yoga was sponsored by these learned Minas dwelling in the caves. Shiva-yoga is at once historical, democratic and scientific. Shiva-yoga has a history going back to the Chalcolithic age about 5000 years ago. Shiva-yoga is democratic in the sense that everybody is eligible to practise it, irrespective of caste, colour, creed, rank, age, sex and position. Shiva-yoga is scientific in the sense that it is entirely based upon the laws of light and electricity.
In man there are organs for hearing, seeing, touching, tasting and smelling. Similarly there is an organ for thought and it is pineal gland. Of course it is dormant but it is possible to galvanize it into activity. When it is stirred into activity, thought force is raised to nth degree and cosmic intelligence begins to function. Scientists opine that the pineal gland is a relic of the third eye, but it is vestigial. The adepts affirm that it is embryonical and therefore it is capable of being developed. The whole process of Shiva-yoga is designed to bring about the development of this dormant pineal gland through steadfast gazing at Linga. Our inner states of consciousness do succeed each other at different rates of vibrations. What escapes us on the slow, steady swing, we seize when the pace quickens.Our perceptions, like our passions, maintain themselves at higher and lower intensity. When our perceptions maintain themselves at a higher intensity, we will have a foretaste of cosmic consciousness. Poets and painters, musicians and mystics often enjoy the glimpse of cosmic consciousness. We may by a progressive expanding or a sudden luminous self-transcendence mount to the summit of cosmic consciousness. Shiva-yoga enables man to mount up to the heights of cosmic consciousness where he thinks not of the universe but with the universe and live in a harmony with the universal heartbeat.
Modern psychology is faced with the problem whether spirit of existence of which our waking life is only a surface and a phenomenon, is conscient or inconscient. If it is inconscient in its very nature then we cannot hope to illuminate ourselves with the hidden light, for light there is none or to possess ourselves of the secret of its power. On the other hand, if it is conscient, a consciousness deeper, greater and more powerful than our surface self, an endless vista of self-development opens out before us and the humanity marches towards infinite possibilities. The conscient and not the inconscient is the truth at which the ancient Indian Yoga arrived. And it distinguishes three strata of the self � the superficial, the subconscient and superconscient. Hence the source and support of existence is not the unconscious but the superconscious whose creative word is Aum, the Pranava, the ever-lasting Yea perpetually uttered within the depths of nature. This is the occult meaning of Chinnada. Chinnada is not a physical sound which emits when tuning fork is vibrating nor is it an internal sound which is heard when the ears are closed. It is indeed a spanda, a perpetual movement of Logos in the divine depths of the Absolute.
The Yogi focuses his attention upon Pranava or Aum and concentrates his energies at the middle of his eye-brows in order to stir into activity the higher astral sense. This occult sense which is termed the sixth organ is the spiritual radium. This symbolizes the ever wakeful eye of the Absolute that goes by the name of Chidbindu in occultism. This Chidbindu is in the nature of light but it is not the physical light nor is it internal light of the psychic but it is the light of consciousness, it is self awareness of the Absolute, it is the transcendent light ever emanating its splendour through the universe. If Chinnada is the life of the Absolute and Chidbindu is the light of the Absolute, Chitkala is the law or will of the Absolute. In occultism Kala is defined as Swatantrya Shakti; i. e. the will of the Absolute. But will not as we understand it something exterior to its object other than its works labouring on material outside itself but "will inherent in the being, inherent in the becoming, one with the movement of existence, self-conscious will that becomes what it sees and knows in itself, will that expresses as force of its own work and formulates itself in the result of its work."
The Sahasrara or the coronal plexus, where the pineal resides, when stirred into full activity is the most resplendent of all the centres full of indescribable chromatic effects and vibrating with extreme rapidity thus opening the third eye through the awakening of the pineal. The realm of the Sahasrara is characterized by Chinnada, Chidbindu and Chitkala, by life that pulsates, by the light that illumines and by the law that governs.
Man is neither a machine nor a device but a being, a complex being indeed. He therefore cannot be saved by machinery; only by a spirito-psychological path, by an entire change which shall affect all the members of his being, can he be liberated from his discords and imperfections. It is admitted on all hands that there is a path which leads to the perfecting of man, a path indispensable to the pilgrim's progress on his of self-realization. Shiva-yoga as a path at the perfecting of man in all his members, at the spiritualization of all his forces. That there is a path which brings about at inner change in man is recognized by all the great religions; and the chief features of that path are described in similar terms in every one of the great faiths of the world. In Shiva-yoga the path is characterised by six stages, namely Bhakta Sthala, Mahesha Sthala, Prasadi Sthala, Pranalingi Sthala, Sharana Sthala and Aikya Sthala.
Shat-sthala – Shiva-yoga star depicting six evolutionary states of consciousness
First in the sequence of the psychological states of spiritual consciousness comes Bhakta Sthala which is characterized by intense devotion to one and only one God. In this stage all the tender emotions of the pilgrim cluster around God crystallizing into devotion – the religious emotion par excellence. Psychologically it is a highly compound emotion consisting of wonder, fear, gratitude and negative self-feeling. This element of negative self-feeling is indeed the corner stone of devotion by which the soul tries to negate itself before the almighty God by constantly brooding upon the frailty of human nature and evanescence of worldly life. It is because negative self-feeling in an essential element in devotion that the extremely confident, self-satisfied and thoroughly conceited person is incapable of devotion and that genuine devotion implies a certain amount of humility and generosity. It is for this reason that the technique of Shiva-yoga in this stage is marked by qualitative varieties of emotional experience of God. The emotional qualities are indeed subjective in as much as they indicate to us primarily not the nature of things but the nature of our impulsive reactions to things. Considered from this psychological point of view, all the passionate yearnings, prayers, psychic burning or heat which a mystic enjoys are merely impulsive reactions to God.
This psychological reaction brings about a change of taste, the most momentous one that ever occurs in the mystic's experience; for in him it means the first emergence of that love for God which is to constitute his distinctive character, an emergence crucial in effect on every department of his life. Thus the self awakens for the first time to the touch of the transcendent reality which results in the shifting of the field of consciousness from the first to the second or new birth. The ordinary birth of an individual into his own little world where he is controlled by the primary instincts of preservation and reproduction – instincts which are doubtless a direct inheritance from the brute ancestry. But the dawn of the second birth ushers the individual into the world of large consciousness often attended with the glimpses of a splendour without or a vision within. The passage from the first to the second birth is not so smooth as we want to suppose. It is oft chequered by series of strongly marked oscillations between states of pleasure and states of pain. These two states answer to the thirsts or tendencies – one the upward and inward, the other downward and outward.
So the pendulum of the self swings backward and forward consequent upon the repercussion of the primary instincts. This systole and diastole motion is usually marked by an intense heat or an interior flame which heralds the pangs of new birth.
This necessity of pain, this necessary sharing in the travail of the new birth is the theme of the second stage – Mahesha Sthala. The object of this Sthala is like the object of all purgation, freedom from the fetters of the senses, from the results of the environment and worldly education, from pride and prejudice, from selfhood in every form. The self in this stage is to be purged of all that stands between it and goodness. Purification is a perpetual process which involves the drastic turning of the self from the unreal to the real life, from the even tenor of easy-going life to the uneven stress of hard and ascetic life. Here asceticism finds its justification, for the Mahesha has to observe vows; a saying of the saint is pregnant with this truth:
" Not to touch the property of others is a vrata, not to cherish desire for other's woman is sheela, not to injure any being is niyama." Hence it is clear that the necessity of pain which mystics always welcome and often court inspires them to build up the moral character and so acquire goodness. The psychological basis of Bhakta Sthala is affective. The Bhakta is affected by qualitative varieties of emotional experience of God; whereas the psychological basis of Mahesha Sthala is conative. The conative drive of the psychic is here concentrated on-:eath of selfhood in its narrow individualistic sense. All the twisted elements of character which foster the existence of this unreal yet complex ego are to be pruned away. Then as with the trees of the forest, so with the self of man, new branches will spring into being and grow towards air and light. But this change of character is often a stormy matter; it is a period of actual battle between the inharmonious elements of the self and its lower and higher springs of action. Nevertheless the object of asceticism or renunciation brings about a complete sublimation of personality.
This sublimation of personality opens the mystic to a new vision, a new consciousness, a new mode of action which bespeaks of the existence of new and higher life. When this is reached the pilgrim has become pure, the mystic has become a sage. He is born again and there begins for him a new round of experiences. This is the stage of Prasadi, this is what is called the purified life. As passion is the keynote of the selfish life, so peace is the keynote of this serene life. Rising into it man is lifted above inharmony and disturbance. When perfect good is realized and known not as an opinion or an idea but as an experience, as a possession, then calm vision is acquired, tranquility, joy abides through all vicissitudes. The Prasadi's life is ruled not by passions but by principles. It is founded not upon fleeting impulses but upon abiding laws. In its clear atmosphere the orderly sequence of all things is revealed, so that there is seen to be no room for sorrow, anxiety or regret. There reigns serenity of the purified life born of disinterested intellect. Hence the primacy of intellectual clarity. The more the mind becomes detached from the things outside, the more clear, sensitive and renewing it becomes. By the renewing of mind the whole personality will be transformed into the creative force that God intends it to be.
To attain to this high calling, the mystic in the Prasadi Sthala should not only reckon himself dead to the old ways of thought and imagination but he must also reckon himself alive into God's power of life. He has to train his mind to think as far as is humanly possible from God's standpoint, direct his imagination to visualize things from his point of view, so that he may become a swiftly sensitive and readily responsive receptacle of divine energy. Thus by being a perfect instrument of God, the Prasadi does not play at cross-purposes with His will. By an intution in his nature, an inspiration in his heart, and a reason in his mind he puts himself to the service of some strong ideal, some intelligent force and serves God and understands the firm Teacher. The Prasadi understands His stern yet loving compulsion in things and learns progress not by struggle and suffering but by obedience. To this end, the mystic in this stage lets his thoughts dwell in God, build up the consciousness of his power to the exclusion of all the fearing and worrying tendency with regard to the past or future. He does resolutely keep God's all power in the very front of his consciousness and sees all the difficulties and anxieties through the light of his consciousness. This would bring deep stillness and unity of being and conserve all his energies for action. Thus the sine quo non of the Prasadi Sthala finds its justification in the saying, right thought is the infallible source of right action.
By training the cognitive dispositions, by cleansing the doors of perception and by being a perfect instrument of God, the mystic intuits self in natural things, the sense of unity in separateness, the evolutionary sweep of a mighty and actual life pulsating throughout the universe. It is this mighty and actual life that is called Prana-Linga in Shiva-yoga; and the Sadhaka of Shiva-yoga who becomes conscious of living reality of this world of becoming, the vast arena of divine activity, the indwelling creative power, as the very soul of immanent reality of the things is known as Prana Lingi, The self in this fourth stage participates actively and open-eyed in its mighty journey towards its God, and seeing with illumined sight all things and creatures as they are in that transcendent order, detects in them too that striving of creation to return to its centre which is the secret of the universe. To the Pranalingi the universe is presented as an expression of life; great cosmic life transcending and including our own life as an expression of the universe. The strange passionate philosophy of Neitzsche is really built upon an intense belief in this supernal nature and value of life. But the charm of his philosophy is marred by the one-sided individualism which precluded him from holding a just balance between the life of ego and the life of all. Says the pranalingi, "Give yourself to this divine and infinite life, mysterious cosmic energy in which you are ersed and of which you are born. Trust it, let it surge in on you, cast off the fetters of the senes, the remora of desire and making your interests identical with those of the all, rise to, freedom, to that spontaneous creative life which is inherent in every individual self, is our share of the universe. You are yourself vital, a free centre of energy did you but know it. You can move to higher levels, to greater reality, truer self-fulfilment, if you will. Though you be like an oyster in your shell you can open that shell to the living waters without and draw from the immortal vitality. Thus only by contact with the real self you know reality."
We may then conclude the status of Pranalingi with these words of William James : "Along with the consciousness of the cosmos there occurs an intellectual enlightenment or illumination which alone would place the individual on a new plane of existence – would make him almost a member of a new species. To this is added a state of moral exaltation, an indescribable feeling of elevation, elation of joyousness and a quickening of the moral sense which is fully as striking and more important both to the individual and to the race than is the enhanced intellectual power. With these come, what may be called a sense of immortality, a consciousness of eternal life not a conviction that he shall have this but the consciousness that he has it already".
Shata-sthala – Six Stages of Evolutionary Consciousness
The attainment of this exalted status is indeed a wonder and wonder lies not in the degree of the fact but in the fact itself, that the universe is not a mechanism but a life and that we are that life. The real cause of all intuitive knowledge-whether it be the exquisite dawn of love in youth or maiden or the intense fervour of creative genius or whether it be the religious frenzy of the saint or the rapt ecstacy of the mystic lies in the fact that it is the revelation of the self to the self, the great discovery by the individual self of the potentiality of its own infinite nature, of its own mighty power. It is a discovery of this potential mighty power which is the cause of all this manifested drama of space and time that forms the fulcrum of the fifth stage of Sharana Sthala. This almighty power is, as the Sharana observes, the inherent one yet variable inner force of all the changes of object consciousness. It is a fundamental truth of the becoming, a truth that supports and gives a spiritual significance to all its appearances. It is that, which determines the primary law of all becoming since it is the eternal seed from which all other things are the developments and derivations.This eternal seed or Shakti is the power of the spritual being, the conscious will of the Supreme, seed which the Absolute casts into the supramental vastness from which the manifested drama of space and time came into being.
The Sharana therefore believes more readily in a divine will, feels more vitally conscious of the spiritual urge in the irresistible sub-conscious intention of the world. For the order of the things in the cosmic life there is a great unseen power, an universal will, a cosmic force or law at work which not only gives us all the frame-work and condition of our idea and effort but evolves by them and by the law of these conditions out of the thing in being the thing that is to be. This power deals with us not so much according to the devices of reason and fictions of our intelligence, but according to the truth and sinerity of our being. Since the Sharana is a man of action, he will often seize on the idea of that universal force to divinise to himself the mighty energy that he feels driving him on the path of world altering deeds. In the eloquent words of Shri Aurobindo, "He is like a shell discharged from some dim titanic howitzer planted in concealment far behind this first line of trenches which we see thrown out by life into the material world; or he is like a planet sped out from Nature's hands with its store of primal energy sufficient for its given time, its fixed service to the world-life, its settled orbit round sovereign light. He expresses in the idea of fate the living and constant sense of the energy which has cast him down here whether to break like some Vedic Marut the world's nrm and established things or to cut through mountains a path down which new rivers of human destiny can pour. Like Indra or Bhagiratha he precedes, the throng of the divine waters follow. His movement decides their course; here Indus shall flow, there Ganges pace yellow leonine to the sea. Therefore we find that greatest men of action the world has seen were believers in fate or a divine will."
Last comes the Aikya Sthala, the sixth stage which is characterised by a rarified psychological state of unitary consciousness that implies the invariable sense of unity or wholeness which accompanies the mystic experience. That there is a psychological sequence right up from the begining of Bhakta Sthala to the end of Aikya Sthala would be clear enough if we take a bird's eye-view of the psychological basis of all The psychological basis of Bhakta Sthala is affective; of Mahesha, the conative; of Prasadi, the cognitive; of Pranalingi, the intuitive, of Sharana, the executive and of Aikya, the unitive. What does the psychology of this unitive state represent? It represents the final and successful establishment of that unitary consciousness which has been struggling for supremacy during the whole of the pilgrim's progress. The deepest and richest levels of human personality have now attained to light and freedom. The soul has at last unified itself with the Supreme and with the cessation of stress and stir, spiritual strength has been liberated for new purposes,.

In that act of union there is no suppression of life but a sublimation in its form. This change consists in the perfecting of personality by the utter surrender of want or desire which is the badge of subjection with its attendant discord and suffering. By an absolute renunciation of desire and its knot, the soul's delight and being become self possession of the Aikya. It is only by Ananda or delight of being at once transcendent and universal, that man can be free in his soul and yet live in the world the full active life. For to that perfect person or Aikya there is nothing whatsoever in the universe that is really separate, individual or discrete, that every thing in its wholeness and completeness would expand to infinity and become the Absolute all; that every atom is balanced against the whole universe and acts and reacts at every moment with the whole and that whole is present at every moment, in every thing however minute it may be. This reveals that every thing depends upon what the Aikya sees, how he looks at existence soul's view of things. Being and becoming, one and many are both true and are both the same thing. The Aikya has the knowledge of reality and lives in the truth consciousness, his will becomes the spontaneous law of the truth in him and knowing all its acts and the objective leads straight to the human destiny which is the enjoyment of delight – the state of immortality. From contact set up with the divine delight, he draws that amazing strength, that immovable peace, that power of dealing with circumstance which is one of the most marked tics of the unitive or eternal life. This is the psychological aspect of Shiva-yoga; I have dealt elsewhere with its physiological, biological aspects.
– Practice of Shivayoga –
Ishtalinga is an indispensable aid to Shivayoga and it is a stone with glazing covering. Since the steadfast gaze on the ishtalinga or Linga on the left palm generates magnetism, Linga is a crystal magnet. Linga is made of light grey slate stone and to be kept intact, it is covered all over with a fine durable paste prepared out of certain ingradients. The colour of Ajna Chakra or naso-ciliary plexus situated in the centre of the eye brows is also indigo. The colour of the coating of Linga and that of Ajna chakra being akin in nature, they act and react upon each other, thus enriching the magnetic force or intuitive power.
In Shivayoga the steadfast gazing at Linga is of vital importance, because it generates magnetism which galvanises into activity the dormant pineal gland. As a result of sustained look at Linga, the transmuted energies rise up the nerve channel into the medulla oblongata through the pons then pass down into the pituitary behind the eyes. The increasing pituitary radiations finally pass through the third ventricle until they awaken the pineal gland and the third eye lights up between them. Thus Shivayoga teaches us the technique of opening the third eye.
Sadhak practising Shiva-yoga
Practice of Shivayoga should be done early in the morning or/and late in the evening. The process is as follows: Place the Linga on the palm of the left hand so raised as to come in a line with the center of the eyebrows, behind the back and just above the left shoulder a burning candle or an oil fed lamp should be placed so that the light of the candle or the lamp is reflected in the Linga. With half closed eyes the aspirant should fix his attention on the speck of light reflected in Linga, the coating of which is blue black or indigo serving to widen and deepen concentration. The concentrated gaze generates psychic heat or tapas which stirs into activity the pineal gland. This produces spiritual light or tejas which in turn, leads to the release of ojas or the thought power which is at once a power of vision and a power of execution. Shivayoga therefore lands one into a region of effective will and intuitive knowledge, where to will is to create, to think is to see.

Not bad for an apartment share.
Airbnb might make traveling easier for us mortals, but Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are definitely getting the gold star treatment.
The Los Angeles-based power couple are staying in New York through October, and they're living in an apartment listed on Airbnb. But before you get the impression that their stay will resemble any Airbnb trip you might have been on: The penthouse they've rented is worth $25 million, and they have it all to themselves.
The Manhattan property boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a gym, private pool, sauna, and seven terraces.
It appears that all Kim had to do was one of the signature Kardashian-Jenner sponcon moves: Copy and paste a pre-approved caption onto one of her photos, and blast it out to her more than 81 million followers.
"Just checked into our NYC penthouse," Kardashian wrote. "Thanks @airbnb for our home away from home."

Discussion in 'Classic Trilogy' started by Aaronaman, Mar 13, 2013.
The first dvd release of the SEs were the most common in the early 2000's.
Willow, of course.
I think the battle over Yavin holds up quite well....Han and Chewie coming to the rescue is one of my favourite SW's moments. I think it shows how good it is by the fact GL didn't tinker with the scene much at all?
You don't have to agree with something to appreciate it hahaha
The edition that you prefer is the true one.
Any official edition is legitimate, though.
- How do I know the good side from the bad?
- Meditate on this, I will.
I have never watched any 'fan-edits' of ANH or any of the other Episodes either for that matter. That's one part of the SW universe I'd rather leave alone.
Oh yeah, can't argue with that. Han coming to the rescue is a highlight of both ANH and the saga.
Whichever one came out the last? Uncle George said this didn't he? Uncle Disney may now say otherwise but I think the last edition (until further editions) was the canon.
Blu Ray minus the re-vocalized Krayt Dragon impersonation. *shivers*
but the lightsaber going green on the Falcon... cannot unsee!
I was seven when SW first came out (and yes, I did see it). It was re-released each year it seems and I saw it each time. My Dad got us a bootleg version on VHS in 1980 and I wish I still had it. There was no "ep IV A New Hope" among other things. And yes, Han definitely shot first
In my last post, I forgot to add that I really liked the Biggs/Luke meeting on Yavin, right before the DS battle - this was added into the '97 SE, and is on all subsequent releases (2004 DVD & 2011 Blu-ray). Great scene, which makes Biggs' death in the battle all the more poignant (a non-hardcore SW fan who watches the DS battle without that scene won't know that Luke & Biggs were necessarily friends who grew up on Tattoine).
I would prefer the untouched version that existed somewhere between '77 and the SE era, cleaned up to at least look like it came from a pristine negative.
However, I do enjoy the added Biggs stuff, even as an admitted purist. That stuff just feels right to me. Guess because it is the actual actors acting rather than CGI injected afterthoughts. I'd take a combo version of these two if I had to.
For me the only true version is, as ObiAIKenobi says above, is the one I saw in the theatres multiple times during the glory days, including my cherished memory of the ANH/ESB double bill! Not sure when that was, whether it was between ESB and ROTJ or was the way my local theatre did the ESB premiere. But it was an amazing experience for 9-ish year old!
Everyone's entitled to their opinion I suppose. But I'm fighting hard to resist the urge to totally rip into this guy for that comment. Obviously has no understanding of anything ever. Maybe his pic says it all.
I don't come here often anymore, and when I do, I see this sort of rubbish in the posts.
Stupidity brings out the worst in me so best I leave again before I get banned.
Why does it hurt your fan heart so much that someone thinks ANH is the worst SW film? That's an opinion not too uncommon among younger fans. What does that change about your view on the film?
And this has nothing to do with "stupidity". You should just learn tolerance and fragmentation of opinion.
I have to agree with others: there is no "true and only" version.
Same position.
Although Lucas claimed in the 90's that the Special Edition was his true and only vision of ANH, it was not the case until he could make changes...
The original releases are the ones many people got used to, loved and want to watch again as they were.
And if I was to say that you obviously have no understanding of anything ever because you DO like ANH...?
I aint judging because you do like it, so don't judge because I think that even AOTC (my 2nd least fav SW movie) is lightyears ahead ANH.
Oh boy...
Do not be alarmed, everybody... taste is subjective.
The pacing of ANH or whatever the heck you want to call it moves pretty quickly. We're just use to seeing it so many times. The same goes for the other two.
The original theatrical version. The one that made history and changed cinema. The version that actually matters.
Blu-Ray version since it is the closest to matching Lucas's vision, not some fan's.
They're all the same movie. Doesn't matter if there's a CGI space rat thingy in the background on a scene or two.

ExperienceAs a special educator and parent of 3 children, one who is diagnosed with dyslexia, I have learned that children have different strengths and interests. As a result of my professional and personal experience, I believe that learning differences do not always fit the model of a traditional curriculum. Some children like my own, benefit from a multisensory approach to learning.
As a tutor, I have worked with children using Barton Reading and Spelling, an Orton Gillingham based curriculum that assists children with difficulties with phonemic awareness. It is an intensive one on one curriculum that will provide the necessary skills to be a successful reader and speller.
Resume and references are available. I would be happy to discuss with anyone who is looking to provide additional support for your child.
Flexible scheduling sessions.
HobbiesI love working with active children and gear my individual sessions to ensure the student enjoys learning. To do this sessions are individualized for each child while working within the Curriculum.
I have coached softball and baseball for over 20 years and currently coach teeball with children who are 6 years old.

The tutor will respond if they are available/interested.


text: Hello, I'm new here but I'm not new to this...kinda. Anyways, My brother lost my old R4 working perfectly no problem at all but then I bought another R4 for me and him this time so if he lost it again it would be his problem. But here is the issue here is my R4: As well as this: I think it's either that I bought a fake no less 2 fakes or I'm using the wrong firmware. I'll also list my problems with certain games Elite Beat Agents: Game Works. But top screen Flashes up and down on and off whenever the character is picking up momentum. Ultimate Mortal Kombat: Biggest issue. Bottom screen flashes up and down, Frame rate constantly drops after uppercut or a fatality. The game crashes after on round of local Wifi play The World Ends With You: Nothing huge. It's just that the sound gets choppy during the second run of the game during this specific mission. But besides that it's all right. Also bottom screen during the second boss fight(I forgot his name) gets static. I don't know if that's a firmware problem or part of the game, please confirm. Sonic Colors: The frame rate in the opening is incredibly slow. The sound is choppy. Bottom screen in the select screen is staticy. When pressing R to go to gallery(OR whenever going to gallery) The game goes black.... Oh yeah and the game sucks. But that just me. My Japanese Coach: Virtually unplayable...unstudyable. I cant start the game as the title screen is incredibly slow, The touch screen in unresponsive, going through the lesson doesn't work as the games frame rate dramatically suffers as I keep pressing "next". The study games don't work anymore as they crash before I learn a word. Castlevania Order of Ecclsia: Unplayable. The game crashes every time I start up and the memory is deleted. 999: Besides some of the text missing. It works perfect One Piece Gigant Battle: The opening anime runs really slow. And DS download play doesn't work, the other DS crashes and shut off. Kirby Super Stars Ultra: The freezes every time I unlock a new mode. Super Scribblenauts: The frame rate is the game practically shuts down when the music stops. As I said before. I don't know if it's the firmware or part of the game. Micheal Jackson Experience: The music get choppy during the loading. Personally I'm pissed because it's some of my favorite music. I mean there's that and the not that good. Ghost Trick: Every time I start a trick for a mission. It's like the game is loading outside the loading screen (If that makes sense.) Other than that all my other games work fine. I just need some help on how to fix my problem. Any help is welcome. I'm sorry for any inconvenience and thank in advance.

The Orthodox Book Club will be meeting on Sunday, September 24, at 6:00 PM at the Dryden home to discuss The Mystery of Christ: Life in Death, by Fr. John Behr.
Fr. Behr will be the keynote speaker at the "Institute for Orthodox Studies" on September 22 and 23. He is Professor of Patristics at St. Vladimir's Seminary.
The following is the summary of the book given by the publisher: "By returning to the methodology of the early Church, Fr. Behr invites readers to approach the mystery of Christ in the same way that the first disciples of Jesus Christ learned theology. Fr. Behr examines how we search the scriptures to encounter Christ and thereby realize that we were created for this encounter, thus opening a profound perspective on creation, fall, sin, and salvation history. He further explains how Christ is born in those who are born again in the Church, their 'Virgin Mother,' so that they become truly human, after the stature of Christ, and continue the incarnation of the Word by glorifying God in their bodies."
Fr. Behr has also written The Way to Nicaea and The Nicene Faith.

Has Selena Gomez already dropped the song of the summer?
The singer released her new track "Bad Liar" on Thursday along with an exclusive music video for Spotify, igniting social media with reaction to the slow-burn jam.
Many fans immediately engaged in debate over who the song is about – Selena's ex, Justin Bieber, or her new boyfriend, The Weeknd – but co-writer Justin Tranter appeared to clear the air on Twitter.
"It's actually about trying to hide magic feelings for someone new, but not being able to," he wrote, correcting one interpretation that the lyrics recall an old relationship.
With lines like, "I was walking down the street the other day/Trying to distract myself/Then I see your face/ Ooh, you got someone else/Tryna play it coy/Tryna make it disappear/But just like the battle of Troy/There's nothing subtle here," Selena does appear to be singing about a fresh affection for someone.
The music itself, however, features a surprise throwback.
Sampling Talking Heads' 1977 classic "Psycho Killer" may strike some as an unexpected choice for one of today's hottest pop stars. But, according to Justin, Selena and their writing partner Julia Michaels have been longtime fans of the iconic New Wave group.
"Selena and Julia are Talking Heads-obsessed," Tranter told Variety earlier this month. "So when we all got together in one room, Julia suggested, 'Why don't we just write over the bassline from 'Psycho Killer'? and we were all going, 'That sounds great!'"
Selena teased the song's release for days with a series of Instagram photos featuring lyrics scrawled on a mirror with lipstick, and a makeup-free shot of herself in bed wearing a hospital bracelet.
The 24-year-old previewed snippets of the video as well, shown from an old-school TV/VCR set.
"Bad Liar" is the first new music from Sel since "It Ain't Me," her February collaboration with Kygo.

In forty-one years, the Downtown Evanston Farmer's Market has changed in many ways. Location, of course. And size–in the past several years, the market has grown by nearly a third!
The most notable change has been the variety off offerings at the market, growing from exclusively produce and flowers to today's mix of farmers, ranchers, artisans, and vendors of prepared food meant to be eaten right at the market.
There are many opinions about the market's evolution, and the City of Evanston needs your help to determine if the market has changed in the right ways, and how it should continue to change. Their goal is to offer the best value, both for the families who visit the market AND the vendors who come from all around the midwest to offer their goods for sale.
Please follow this link and spend a few minutes filling out a survey that will provide insight about the feelings of the Market's most loyal customers. Again, click here to take this important survey.

Lowest Colorectal Cancer Risk: Vegetarian Diet Plus Fish
Pescovegetarians at even lower risk in new study than vegans.
Eating a more plant-based diet could reduce your risk of colorectal cancer—and especially so if it includes regular consumption of fish. Surprisingly, the latest findings from the Adventist Health Study-2 report that pescovegetarians—people who are otherwise vegetarians but also eat fish at least once a month—were at the lowest risk of such cancers. Adding fish to a vegetarian diet was associated with less risk than any other type of vegetarian diet, including a vegan regimen.
"This is a well-constructed study that confirms the idea that a plant-based diet conveys significant protection against colorectal cancers," says Joel B. Mason, MD, Tufts professor of medicine and nutrition. "Prior studies had also suggested that consumption of fish did not increase the risk for the cancer, but this study goes one step further and suggests fish consumption might convey additional protection up and above what a plant-based diet alone provides."
PLANT POWER: Dubbed the Adventist Health Study because it focuses on members of the Seventh-Day Adventists, the ongoing research project at Loma Linda University in California has previously reported that vegetarians tend to be at lower risk for not only certain cancers but also heart disease, diabetes, obesity and hypertension. Because the Adventist religion has historically advocated vegetarianism, the study offers an unusual opportunity to compare the health effects of meat avoidance in a large population.
The latest findings, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, examined diet and colorectal cancer risk among 77,659 participants over an average of 7.3 years. During that span, researchers recorded 490 cases of colorectal cancers. Overall, vegetarians of all types were at 22% lower risk than non-vegetarians.
But the scientists said they were surprised at the variation among vegetarian lifestyles. Compared to non-vegetarian participants, pescovegetarians were 43% less likely to develop such cancer. That risk was significantly lower even than vegans (16% lower than non-vegetarians), lacto-ovo vegetarians (eating dairy and eggs, 18% lower), and semi-vegetarians, defined as eating meat or fish once a week (8% lower).
LESS MEAT: The apparent benefits of a vegetarian and pescovegetarian diet are probably understated by the findings, according to lead author Michael J. Orlich, MD, PhD. "It's worth pointing out that our non-vegetarians are still a relatively low meat-consuming group," he said. "They average about two ounces of meat a day, so we are comparing vegetarians with a pretty low meat-consuming group, and a relatively healthy group overall."
In fact, Dr. Orlich added, after adjusting for age, race and sex, the rate of colorectal cancer among the nonvegetarians was 27% lower than you would expect for an age-, sex- and race-matched population in the US. "If we were to compare our vegetarians with a more average population, the effects might even look stronger."
But be aware that avoiding meat is neither necessary nor a guarantee of a healthy diet. "Fries and a Coke are vegetarian," says Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, DrPH, dean of Tufts' Friedman School. "More important than what you avoid is what you actually eat. The healthiest diets are rich in fruits, nuts, fish, vegetables, yogurt, beans, vegetable oils and whole grains. Being or not being a vegetarian does not add much to that."

Welcome to Lilli's House! Home sleeps up to 6 adults.
Ask our Reservationists about two days for the price of one admission tickets to the Monterey Bay Aquarium when you book this home!
Lilli's House has been a favorite vacation rental destination for many families since 2003. We are delighted to offer this charming home as a new addition to the Sanctuary Vacation Rentals portfolio. The same family still owns the home and it will continue to have their warmth and involvement in addition to the Sanctuary touch. Go directly to the SVR website to read many 5-star reviews that once appeared on the Owners' Homeaway/VRBO listing (unfortunately, with the recent management transfer, Homeaway was unable to move the reviews over to the new listing. Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is dedicated to keeping the same level of service as before).
A Carmel home that was a renowned gathering place for local notables in the 1960s and '70s is still a wonderful place to get together with family and friends, with a patio that's perfect for conversation and entertaining, and comfortable rooms that lend themselves to complete relaxation.
Located in a quiet Carmel Woods neighborhood, the 2400 square feet, 3-bedroom, 2 bath residence is away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, yet still close enough to walk to Carmel-by-the-Sea's restaurants, galleries and boutiques. The remodeled single-story home is just 10 minutes away from golfing and dining at Pebble Beach, or 10 minutes from the Victorian homes and butterfly groves of Pacific Grove. It's a 15-minute drive to Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row and a half hour from Big Sur.
The house was built in 1950 by a well-known local clothing designer and her husband, and in past decades, it was a popular happy hour spot for politicians, artists, writers and celebrities. Still owned by the family, the 2,400-square-foot home continues to offer comfort and style, beginning with the fenced front patio framed with moss-covered coastal live oaks, azaleas and ferns, ideal for drinks, dinner or just lounging.
Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows give expansive views of the patio garden. A unique triangular gas-burning Carmel stone fireplace opens up to both living room and entry areas. Radiant heating throughout most of the house keeps it cozy even on foggy days, and upholstered sofas and chairs in the living room and family rooms are welcome places to curl up with a book or enjoy a glass of wine.
Upon your arrival you will be greeted with complimentary wine and cheese, tickets for a wine tasting at Scheid Vineyards' tasting room in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and a basket of local information. An assigned concierge vacation house manager is available to assist you during your stay. We have also provided spa amenities in the bathrooms, spa robes and beach gear.
Newly updated appliances in the kitchen are complemented by hand-painted tiles created by a local artist, and the adjacent dining room includes a tiled bar area and a custom-made oak table with seating for 8. Hardwood floors join the kitchen and dining room, and a washer and dryer are available off the kitchen.
The living room includes a large built-in bookcase with a wide variety of reading material available. A family room just off the living room includes a foosball table as well as a 47-inch HDTV with DVD player.
The master bedroom includes has a sleigh queen bed and views of the private patio, a 40" HDTV and an interior door leads to a tiled bathroom with glass shower, pedestal sink and adjustable mirror, as well as a separate half bath with toilet and sink.
Down the hallway is a second bedroom with twin beds, a bathroom with a shower, and a third bedroom with a sleigh queen bed and a private door leading out to the front patio. All bedrooms have new luxury bedding.
**There is an additional fee for pets**

Fantastic house. The setup was great for multiple children. We especially enjoyed the way so much of the house has windows that wrap around the courtyard. It gives the courtyard the feeling of being an outside living room. We would definitely stay here again!
It was like living in an atrium. Walls of windows, super cozy, quiet, and peaceful, with modern amenities, updated kitchen and bathroom and beautiful courtyard with indoor outdoor feel. Quiet and serene, yet close to town. Perfect. Loved working with Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. They really took care of us for a few months while we looked for a long term home.
