RELEASED: April 14, 2011
EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Concert Choir will present its spring concert at 2 p.m. April 17 in Gantner Concert Hall of the Haas Fine Arts Center.
Concert highlights include the world premiere of a student composition titled "La Mia Preghiera" and the performance of a piece commissioned in honor of choir director Dr. Gary Schwartzhoff.
Sophomore Andrew Steffen, of New Richmond, composed the piece translated as "My Prayer," and dedicated the score to the choir. Steffen is a piano accompanist for Concert Choir and a member of the popular a cappella group Innocent Men.
"This composition has been a work in progress for over three years," Steffen said. "I think of this piece as a culmination of my love for choral music and this department at UW-Eau Claire. The audience at the concert can expect to hear adaptations of writing techniques heard from popular contemporaries in the choral world as well as an extremely genuine and heart-felt performance from the Concert Choir."
The First Congregational United Church of Christ in Eau Claire commissioned "Ring Out, Wild Bells" by James Mulholland expressly to recognize Schwartzhoff, who has served as its director of music since 1992. Mulholland is a composer and arranger who is often commissioned by high schools and universities, as well as the American Choral Directors Association. Schwartzhoff, who has been active in the ACDA recently received its highest honor, the Morris Hayes Award for lifetime achievement in choral art.
Members of the church's Chancel Choir will join the Concert Choir for the premiere of this work. In turn, members of the Concert Choir will join the Chancel Choir in May when the piece is performed at the First Congregational United Church of Christ.
Concert Choir will be accompanied on piano by Steffen and junior Alexander Jacques, Oneida.
One of six UW-Eau Claire choral ensembles, Concert Choir has traveled to Europe on eight concert tours between 1964 and 2008 and has released five music CDs. In 2006 the choir received an international award for artistic excellence and cultural exchange from the Federation of the Mediterranean in Italy. In 2009 the group performed at the Washington National Cathedral and at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as part of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Choral Festival in Washington, D.C.
The choir's upcoming tour schedule is as follows:
Tickets for the April 17 concert, available online and at the University Service Center, 715-836-3727 or 800-949-UWEC, are $6 for the public; $4 for those 62 and older, 17 and younger, and faculty and staff with a university ID; and $1.50 for students with a university ID.

The Metric: Taking a measured view of the news
Her campaign pitch was "Dianne delivers," and that she did. (We don't mean liquor licenses—another story entirely, to which we all know the ending.) From 2004 to 2008, the state senator from Roxbury secured more money via earmarks for her Boston district than any of her counterparts in the city's delegation, using budget amendments for causes both noble and picayune and setting the benchmark, for better or worse, by which successor Sonia Chang-Díaz will be judged after taking office this month.

Lampbrella gives pedestrians somewhere to dodge the raindrops
Don't you hate it when it starts to pour with rain, and you're caught outside without an umbrella? The Lampbrella concept solves that problem, by building communal umbrellas that deploy automatically from the street lamps whenever the sky decides to open up.
Designer Mikhail Belyaev says the Lampbrella will have rain sensors that can deploy the electrically operated umbrella at the first sign of rain. There's even a motion sensor under the canopy, so the umbrella can fold itself up again if nobody is using it.
While positioning yourself under a big metal pole might not seem like the best idea during a thunderstorm, Belyaev says that the post can be made of fiberglass, or it could incorporate a grounding strap that diverts any lightning strike harmlessly to earth.
I'm still trying to figure out why the artist's impression show the Lampbrella on a street with no sidewalks.

The Conduit HD now available for Tegra 3 devices
The Conduit HD, a high-definition re-release of High Voltage Software's Wii-exclusive first-person shooter, is now available for Tegra 3-optimized Android devices on Google's Play Store. Along with the visual upgrade, the game features "innovative touchscreen controls and gameplay that has been re-balanced for tablet play."
"Our goal with The Conduit was to bring a hardcore game experience to a 'casual' market," said Kerry J. Ganofsky, CEO and founder of High Voltage Software. "I believe we have reached that goal again with The Conduit HD!"
The purchasing options for The Conduit HD are rather strange: The first two levels are free, and the full game is $4.99. However, each half of the game can also be purchased separately for $2.99 each, so if you've ever wanted to go that route, there you go.

but instead often drowns in clichés, SURFING Magazine is the asylum. The trendsetter. We're where the influencers draw their influence. We keep our eye on the horizon and our ear to the ground for what's new, what's now and what's next in the surfer's lifestyle — in and out of the water. And we make it all look good.
In an image-driven sport, SURFING Magazine's photography remains the best in the world.

Constructed of brick, it has a Colonial Revival influence to its appearance. There are corner pilasters, segmental arched windows and doors, and a corbel table that comprise its decorative elements. A circular window is set into the facade, over the sign stating year of construction, 1894. Three arched openings lead into the fire station. The building in the rear of the fire station has a large ornate cupola. The Hamilton Woolen Co. had previously established a fire company and consented to the use of their engine by the town. According to the Souvenir of Southbridge (1898), the first efforts at starting a fire company [by the town] were made in 1832, "The first fire after the formation of the company is recorded as taking place Saturday evening, Jan. 19, 1833, at Globe Village. Another similarly titled publication "Southbridge: A Souvenir" published in 1899 by the Ladies Circle and YPCU of the First Universalist Society of Southbridge had the following information: "Southbridge has always possessed an excellent and efficient fire department. From the days of the old tub machine to the present, the department has been an honor to the town and has had enrolled in its membership many of the most prominent citizens, who, as soon as they drop out of active service, join the Veteran Firemen's Association, which has under its care the famous 'Tiger' hand-engine. The department consists of two steam fire engines and two hook and ladder trucks, modernly equipped and comfortably housed. The left hand picture is that occupied by the Globe Village department."

Artist Stitches Photorealistic Portraits
St. Louis-based artist Cayce Zavaglia has chosen the extremely tedious way to create her photorealistic portraits—by embroidering them, stitch by stitch.
After shooting 100-150 portraits, she picks the best pictures and starts recreating them in thread on linen.
Working with one-ply embroidery thread and Belgian linen, Zavaglia goes through an excruciatingly pain-staking process to give birth to incredibly detailed, hyper-realistic pieces that can pass off as actual photographs at first glance.
Watch the video below to for behind-the-scenes footages of how these portraits are made:

Secrets of Strength Training
body fat bone density bone health cardio cardiovascular dancing flexibility goal gym habit heart heart rate injury longevity metabolism muscle obesity osteoporosis physical activity routine self esteem strength training stretching wellness womens health
Most people think of strength training as a great way to build muscle and increase strength, but there are many more benefits you may be less familiar with. Strength training involves placing a heavier load on a muscle to stimulate an increase in the number of muscle fibers, making the muscle stronger. Types of strength training include working out with free weights or weight machines at the gym, using resistance bands or the body's own weight for resistance as in push-ups.
Here are the main benefits of a strength-training program:
1. Increased metabolic rate and lower body fat -- Muscle burns more calories while resting and during exercise than fat, so the more muscle you have, the higher your overall metabolic rate. Unfortunately, we lose 35- 40 percent of our muscle mass between the ages of 20 and 80 -- that's why we start to feel weaker and flabbier as we enter middle age. A regular program of strength training will help to counteract this, helping you to stay leaner and more youthful-looking.

WASHINGTON - One of the highlights of our staycation seven miles from our home this weekend was a salad. That's right, a salad - in Zentan, the local eatery from former Top Chef Masters contestant Susur Lee.
On Saturday, we checked into the glammed-out W hotel two doors down from the White House; by Sunday night, we wanted a quiet dinner and weren't in the mood for the hotel's J&G Steakhouse by celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
TWITTER: Follow Hotel Check-In's BarbDelollis
So we sat down with W concierge Greg for some ideas, and he delivered. We finally decided to go to Zentan, Lee's Asian fusion restaurant located in the boutique Donovan House hotel. The W hotel's free Accura car service arranged to take us there for our 6 p.m. reservation.
We were hungry, so when our lovely waitress-poet Shamir suggested the signature Singapore "slaw" ($16) as an appetizer, we said yes.
Out came an impressive bowl of sliced, diced and peeled veggies, crispy rice noodles and peanuts - 19 different ingredients - piled about seven inches high.
Another server delivered the salad and was about to mix it so that each bite would be coated with the delicious, salty plum dressing, but I asked him to wait until I could photograph the masterpiece. He happily complied, telling us that almost everyone has the same request! Before we dug in to our plates, he listed all 19 ingredients.
A few of them: taro root, carrot, jicama, cucumber, daikon, tomato, ginger, microgreens and cilantro.
We split the salad as our appetizer, but I had secretly expected to eat most of it since I'm the veggie lover in our family. Surprisingly, my husband not only ate his portion, but much to my dismay, went back for more.
Total bill - excluding tip - came to $59 for the appetizer, two bowls of equally delicious noodles and one cup of tea.

Wedding: 7/14/2012
These guys were amazing. The music was great and they kept the evening rolling along smoothly. They were helpful and did great when announcing parts of the wedding. They announced our entrance, the cake cutting and the bouquet/garter toss. They were professional and entertaining.
Wonderful evening!
Wedding: 9/19/2010
Everyone at Wishes is amazing! The service is great. The mix of music they played was perfect for the young and the old. They took requests as we wanted and Nate was amazing at getting everyone involved!
Wedding: 8/18/2006
Derrick played a stellar selection of music that everyone was able to enjoyed. I don't think the dancing ever stopped! Derrick also made wonderful suggestions when planning the music portion of the wedding. It was also easy to request song and make specific dedications. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to help me celebrate our wedding day.
Wedding: 9/25/2004
I had a mix of generations at my wedding, so making sure everyone enjoyed the music was going to be difficult....but it wasn't at all with Jam Man! Derrick did an awesome job making sure everyone had an awesome time. The first part of the wedding catered to the more traditional wedding music which pleased the grandmas. But then at the end of the night he kicked it up with some current music for the younger crowed.
The communication before the wedding was top notch and very professional. He made sure to go over the music selection with me ahead of time, and that he would have all the right music for the special dances. My wedding was 6 years ago and people still talk about what a wonderful time they had....the DJ had a lot to do with it. I highly recommend them!
Wedding: 6/27/2009
Jam Man Entertainment was amazing! They had every type of music that one could ask for. Most of all, they listen to ones needs and do whatever they can do in order to make everyone happy. Jam Man Entertainment knew exactly what to do to get everyone that came to my wedding out on the dance floor. Also, The place where I held my wedding could not get the sound to work for my slide show that I prepared. Jam Man Entertainment stepped right in and helped out when they didn't have too and asked for nothing in return. I would recommend Jam Man Entertainment to anyone!!

text: 4.5 A surprise gem of a game bluto33 | 18/11/2011 | See all bluto33's reviews (4) Took a chance ordering this game, I liked the idea of a flight sim controlled with the Move controller.The game draws you in with the story line, which is set during WWII. The gameplay is all action, and the Move controller works really well, you hold it vertically like a joystick, it's really simple and very intuitive.Graphics are a little dated, but not too bad. It looks OK and you'll forgive this minor flaw when you experience the great gameplay. A really good game at a very reasonable price.

New Brewhouse Project
New Brewhouse Project: 2012
Firestone Walker's new brewhouse reflects the brewery's goal to continuously perfect the brewing process and ultimately the quality of its beers. In the words of co-proprietor Adam Firestone, "For us, it's not about branching out, but branching in. We are always aiming to make the next brew better than the last. The difference may be tiny, but it needs to be measurable and constant. The new brewhouse is our latest investment in this mission."
Brewhouse Features
The new 60-barrel brewhouse is the result of extensive research conducted by proprietors Adam Firestone and David Walker, as well as Brewmaster Matt Brynildson and his brewing team. They were ultimately drawn to a company called Huppmann in Kitzingen, Germany, which has been making brewhouses for generations.
"We selected Huppmann for many reasons, none of which was price," says Adam Firestone. "These involve wort handling, their proprietary wet mill called Millstar, the overall simplicity of the design, the flexibility of the installation, and the technology to marry our existing brewhouse into the new one. The automation package will allow us to precisely replicate each step and track progress unlike ever before. This isn't about increasing production, it's about further improving the beers."
This state-of-the-art brewhouse will also include custom features made to meet Brynildson's vision for maximizing beer quality, including his personal modifications for milling, hop dosing, and kettle efficiency. The new brewhouse equipment allows Brynildson the ultimate flexibility for making every beer style imaginable.
Architectural Inspiration
The tower design of the brewhouse is an efficient way to brew beer, using gravity to move ingredients when applicable, and also requiring a smaller footprint.
The new brewhouse tower was designed by local architect Val Milosevic and incorporates design features that honor two iconic structures in the Paso Robles region—the Farmer's Alliance building in Paso Robles, and the Templeton Feed & Grain building in the nearby hamlet of Templeton. Both of these buildings are visible testaments to the region's rich agricultural heritage, and Firestone Walker Brewing Company is proud to reflect this heritage in the design of its new brewhouse tower.

Twitter Confronts International Opportunity, Challenge
NEW YORK (The Street) --
(TWTR) public debut has certainly been different than that of main rival
(FB). After breaking out of the starting gates and hitting a high price per share of over $50, the stock has cooled down, closing on Veterans Day at $42.90. Volume was merely 16 million shares, having traded over 117.7 million shares on IPO day, Nov. 7.
What should concern shareholders and potential buyers is that only around 25% of Twitter's ad revenues derive from international advertisers. In the maze of regulatory filings, the company basically said it was poised and ready to grow the use of its advertising platform overseas. Twitter is reportedly setting up offices in ports of call like Paris, London and Singapore to make haste on its promise to seize this advertising potential.
The company's corporate profile promises magical qualities and potential to grow by leaps and bounds. "Twitter is a global platform for public self-expression and conversation in real time. It provides various products for users, including Twitter that allows users to express themselves and create, distribute, and discover content."
TWTR also offers Vine, a smartphone app that creates and shares short, looping videos, and #Music, a mobile application that helps users discover new music and artists based on Tweets. The company also provides a set of development tools, public application programming interfaces, and embeddable widgets that developers can use to contribute their content to its platform; distribute Twitter content across their properties; and enhance their sites and applications with Twitter content.
In addition, Twitter offers products comprising promoted Tweets, promoted accounts, and promoted trends for advertisers, while offering subscription access to its data feed for data partners. Twitter has strategic partnerships with Comcast Corporation (CMCSA) and NBCUniversal.

I haven't been posting many celebrity interviews lately because the guy I'm married to was getting kind of jealous (he's totally alpha-male like that). Every time I interviewed a sex symbol celeb, it would always end in an awkward situation at home. Try explaining to your spouse why the phone is ringing off the hook at all hours of the night and why it's always some dude on the other end who's bawling about his unrequited love and broken heart. Like I give a care. I don't want to name names but the worst is a big time movie star who played a lead role in the movie Titanic. I had to get a restraining order. Seriously. As my Mother-in-law would say, "give your life a shake"…
My boss at CNN recently told me enough is enough, I need to get back to work. My first assignment: Prince William and Kate Middleton (gag). I said I wasn't interested and she said I didn't have much choice because it was "by Order of the Queen" or some shit. Since I don't feel like getting beheaded, I agreed to the goddam job. Rest assured I loaded up on Gravol before I set foot inside Buckingham Palace. British people make me nauseous at the best of times (just kidding). I just don't like British Royals.
b: Hi Prince William.
w: Greetings Ms.Graham
b: Oh please, call me Brooke.
w: Very well. Greetings Ms. Brooke.
b: (rolls eyes) Um, I thought I was interviewing both you and your fiance. Where is Kate?
w: (blushing) Ew, Catherine is in the loo.
b: (mumbles under breath) Gross.
w: (still blushing) T'is rather ghastly isn't it?
b: (taking notes) Did you know she used the can before you got engaged?
w: No. I did not.
b: Oh boy, you're likely in for a few more surprises!
w: (genuinely confused) Like wot?
b: If I told you I'd ruin the surprises. Okay, I don't have much time to chat. Gravol only lasts so long, so let's cut to the chase. Between you and me, has Kate met your Mom?
w: Do you mean my Step-Mum, Camiller? Or do you mean my Grandmum?
b: Don't feed me the berries, William. You know what I mean. Has Kate met Diana?
w: (sweating) Dianer? Why she was kiwed years ago
b: (Narrows eyes and points pen at William) Okay, I'm not sure what the royal term for "horse shit" is, but that's pure horse shit. You may be able to fool the rest of the world but not me. I'm Canadian and part Ukrainian. You don't get much quicker than that, okay?
w: Whateva do you mean?
b: I have a theory about your Mummy.
w: By all means…tell me this "theory".
b: I will. But do you mind if I tell you in a British accent? My theories sound better in a British accent.
w: Oh, git on with it then.
b: Jolly good. Afta Dianer's divorce from Charles, she wonted ow (out) but she was the peepo's princess. The media loved her. But wot did she love? Her chewdren, you and 'arry Po'er. She also loved her non-profit work. She loved Dodi Fayed and reclusive anonymity. Thus, if she were to die, peepo would donate like mad to her charity, she'd be ow of the medier, she'd neva 'ave to talk to Charles or the Queen again. So, fittingly, she faked her own deff!
w: (crying like a baby) Faked her own deff? How can you say that?

w: (white as a sheet of paper)
b: I won't reveal the details of her location. However, you and I both know she currently resides with her lover on a luxurious desert island where little people walk around with nacho chips and salsa on their sombreros – all. day. long.

b: If I had an all-access pass to Royal money and I was going to live out the rest of my days on a desert island with my delicious lover, I'd want little people with nachos in their sombreros there too. Long story short, I guessed.

How to Fix a PC Which Won't Boot
Computers are the way of the world. But there is nothing more annoying than a broken PC. PC's breakdown from time to time, it happens. This is a guide to repair a desktop computer that won't start up.
1First of all you have to determine the cause. Constantly restart the PC in order to confirm that it won't boot. Next you should try the PC on it's side to eliminate a connection error. This could either be a burnt out or worn contact or simply a connection which has come loose. After this you can start the process of fixing the problemAd
2There are a couple of problems that will cause a computer not to boot these are: Corrupted BIOS, Corrupted Start up files, corrupted hard drive (containing startup files) or a broken motherboard.
3If absolutely nothing happens when you press the power switch:
- Check that it is plugged in and switched on both at the wall and at the back of the base unit, check that the wall socket has power.
- Check the power supply by removing it and testing it in another machine, if it works fine in another machine, check your power switch connections.
- Check the fuse in the power supply; typically if it is blown, blackened, or the little thread inside is interrupted, when held against a light.
- If the connections are fine it is likely that your motherboard has died.
4Check for a faulty motherboard.
- Remove every connection and component from your motherboard except for the power, front panel, CPU assembly, RAM and graphics card, switch it on.
- If you have more than one stick of RAM test them one at a time.
- If this works then reconnect your other devices (Switch it off first!) one by one until you find out which one is causing the problem.
- If your hear sounds of the disk starting, but nothing ever happens on the screen, the BIOS might be corrupted. That can happen when you try to flash it with a newer version, or if an ugly virus flashes it with garbage. If so, the BIOS needs to be reloaded correctly, or the chip replaced. Note: Not all computers have their BIOS in a flashable EPROM, so this might or might not apply.
- If the board makes a sequence of loud beeps, there is a hardware error in one of the basic components. Two beeps mean 'no monitor found', four beeps 'no memory found', etc. (that list is not for sure). It is the BIOS reporting that it misses an elementary part to continue. Find out which part is broken (or really missing), and replace it.
5Replace the Boot Sector.
- Place windows installer disc into drive.
- When prompted, press R to start the recovery console.
- When asked which system you want to log into press 1, then enter.
- You should now have a C:\WINDOWS\ prompt, type FIXBOOT, then press enter.
- Type FIXMBR and press enter (that means 'FIX the Master Boot Record' = FIXMBR).
- Reboot the machine, if it works, you are done.
6Check your BIOS settings
- To enter the BIOS menu you must tap a certain key as soon as you switch on the PC, this is usually DEL or F2 but it will say on screen, e.g. 'PRESS DEL FOR SETUP'
- All BIOS menus differ, what you are looking for is a bit called Primary Master, which should have some numbers after it, if it does, then your drive is not at fault, move on.
- If Primary Master has no information after it your hard drive is not being detected, if you are able, change the setting next to Primary Master so that it says 'Auto'.
- Save and exit the BIOS, if your computer boots, stop here.
- If your hard drive is not detected this time you will need to open up the case and check the connections. http://www.wikihow.com/Hook-up-a-Hard-Drive
7Check for a faulty hard drive
- Remove your hard drive and put it in another PC if possible.
- If it does not work in another PC then it is dead, buy a new one.
- If it does work in another PC, try using different cables.
- If different cables make no difference your motherboard may be faulty.
8Another reason why PCs often do not start is that people accidentally remove their drives on the computer when safely removing USBs and other hardware devices.Ad
We could really use your help!
wedding planning?
cleaning carpet?
married life?
CD covers?
- If the PC has stopped working after a recent update (RAM, Hard drive..) remove this and see the problem still exists. Your PC will usually warn you that your RAM is loose or faulty by emitting a constant beeping noise.
- If your PC problem is BIOS related, it should boot when the BIOS disc is inserted
- If you have to take the cover off you might as well clean it up a bit, blast all the dust out with a can of compressed air.
- Remember that Windows XP (32-bit) can only take a maximum of 4 GB of RAM
- Make sure to buy your components from a reputable dealer or check reviews online and in literature.
- Make sure you do not have excess moisture on your hands, if you get sweaty palms then wear anti-static gloves, e.g. nitrile gloves
- As with any device that plugs into wall current, if during testing you smell ozone or burnt plastic, or hear a "popping" or arcing noise, unplug the device immediately. Unless you know how to work with electricity safely, an internal short is best repaired by professionals.
- Always turn off and unplug the PC before touching, adding or removing parts within the PC.
- Wear an anti-static wrist band or ground yourself by touching the case while the system is plugged in.

Covergirl Finally Gets It Right With Taylor Swift
Did someone at Covergirl happen to read my last post about how their latest ads did nothing for Taylor Swift in the looks department? I think she is naturallyĀbeautiful so I was sad when the last campaign made her look well, more like a deer caught in the headlights. See:
However the latest ad is just so much better. Swift looks lovely, youthfulĀand actually happy to be in front of a camera…instead of scared. What do you think?

Tax the Poor -- April Fool's Day, 1992
Rush Limbaugh, a radio talk-show host famous for his support of conservative issues, declared his belief that the U.S. government should raise taxes for the poor because "they're the wealthiest poor in the world." Many of his listeners called in to applaud his belief. Later Limbaugh confessed that he does not actually support such a belief and chastised his listeners for being "too quick to believe anything that hits a hot button."

Small Faces
While the Small Faces were veritable rock gods of the Mod world in their native England, they had exactly one hit in the U.S. -- 1967's "Itchykoo Park," hovering successfully between the pop and the hippy-dippy as it soared up the charts. Still, the band's founding members went on to other notable achievements. Former child actor Steve Marriott, who left the band during a turbulent period in 1969, soon joined pal Peter Frampton to found Humble Pie. The other members, meanwhile, joined forces with then-bassist Ron Wood and singer Rod Stewart, on the rebound from the Jeff Beck Group, and dubbed the result simply The Faces. Since Ronnie Lane was already on bass, Wood switched to rhythm guitar, and the group had some success with its new, blues-heavy sound. When Stewart's solo career took off in the early '70s, the band began to disintegrate. Wood went on to join the Rolling Stones, drummer Kenny Jones joined The Who after Keith Moon's death. Lane recorded with various artists, including Pete Townshend in the legendary Rough Mix, before being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in the '70s. He eventually died of the disease in 1997; Marriott, meanwhile, had died in a house fire in 1991 on the eve of a new collaboration with Frampton.

Tutored To Death
I am not going to patronise anyone and say that you shouldn't tutor your kids, because, after all, it is a personal choice. Often, teachers say that you shouldn't do it when in fact they have a business on the side tutoring children. They are doing some parents a favour, they say. Talk about British double standards.
This episode sent me back twenty years ago when I was a student. I was tutoring children to make ends meet. I was getting paid for the few children I was teaching, and I was also doing it for a charity, in a deprived area, as a volunteer. In both cases, it was a nightmare. The rich kids were expecting me to do their homework, the poor ones couldn't wait for the lessons to be over.
I stopped everything after a couple of years to start a job. It was a huge relief. Basically, I couldn't help the children because they were not eager to learn. That's not something that you can teach, right? How do you become curious and eager to learn? I have no idea. But if it is not there, well, it is not there. Believe me, I tried everything. I explained that you can't buy something if you can't count. I tried jokes, games and the likes. It didn't work. And I was exhausted.
Things haven't changed in twenty years. Why do some parents tutor their kids to death? I know that it is a competitive world out there, but come on, kids need to have a life.
Having said this, I don't pay a tutor but I do take care of my daughters. I try to cook with them and explain what quantities are. We read together and I try to teach them some French (with limited success only). In my household, there is no TV during the week. And mum is doing the tutoring. How about you, how do you manage?

It frightens me how much children are pressed to learn. I remember my best teachers being the ones who made lessons interesting so you didn't realise you were learning.ReplyDelete
I like academic subjects, but I have to come to realise that learning to learn is so important. Being pressed to learn, even at my age, rarely works.
While help with reading, writing and maths seems a good idea if a child is falling behind, attitude to learning is important too.
Perhaps if a child has a poor teacher - and I can remember a series of changing maths teachers who were unable to communicate effectively - a tutor could be a help, but not in every subject.
- Katherine Hetzel14 October 2013 at 02:34
I get really stressed when I hear of tutors for kids this young. There is a world of difference between supporting your children's learning and trying to be the top dog in every subject. I would much rather sacrifice top grades in academic subjects (fortunately both my kids are bright and eager learners in most subjects at 12 and 14, so we hope they'll do reasonably well) and have well-rounded, balanced and confident young people, than see my children suffer nervous breakdowns and other stress related issues because of the pressure to achieve.ReplyDelete
Learning is important - but it's not always in academia we learn the most important lessons for life.
- Francene Stanley14 October 2013 at 02:40
I like your attitude with your children. By including them in everything you do, they are learning by example. This is exactly what I did with my children back in the 60s. My God. Wha sort of world will we live in when these bored, spoiled children mature?ReplyDelete
- CARO NESS14 October 2013 at 04:14
We taught out daughter to cook and she had the thirst to learnReplyDelete
- amyyoungmiller14 October 2013 at 05:39
We home school, so my kids have a 24/7 tutor available (me), but they also have to learn how to do things on their own. My college-age kiddos share with me that that skill is the most important thing they learned in our homeschool: how to teach themselves. Because if you learn how to teach yourself, you don't have to rely on any tutor to prepare yourself for college.ReplyDelete
I had a tutor for about a two weeks once. I was placed in a class for which I had no prereqs and, given the capabilities of my classmates, I wanted a crash course - which my tutor provided. i got the drift and took it from there.ReplyDelete
I also agree with Amy (below) in that our kids need to learn how to get things done.
Because they will need to be the masters of their own fate.
- Carolina HeartStrings14 October 2013 at 09:07
Wow. Lots of things come to mind. If the child is struggling in every subject is she in the right academic setting? Is it a prestige thing? Does the child possible like the attention she isn't getting elsewhere? Sad.ReplyDelete
- Sam at Tutorfair14 October 2013 at 09:10
Really interesting post. There's definitely such a thing as too much tutoring, although we've also found it's really hard for parents to find good help for their children if they want it.ReplyDelete
We spoke with lots of parents who said they felt guilty, or were being secretive, about hiring a tutor, and when we speak to schools they seem even more confused.
And so our answer has been to have a 'child for a child' model when booking a tutor. The results have been absolutely fantastic in the inner city London schools we work with.
Thank you for giving us a tutor's perspective. Don't get me wrong, tutoring can work, but the approach needs to be tailored for each kids. And some kids just need to get a life!ReplyDelete
In this instance, it is a prestige thing. It is the sign of a good social status. Silly, sad, and true...ReplyDelete
There is nothing wrong with having a tutor if you know where you want to go. In your case, it was some punctual help and you needed it. In London, it is a business and it is a prestige thing.ReplyDelete
Well, in London you have lots of exams to get accepted in the 'better' schools at 7 and 11, hence the tutors at 7 (you can hire a tutor at 3 too if you want to go to a top nursery). I admire the fact that you home-schooled your kids! I am not sure that I would be patient enough. Ad you are right. This little girl needs a childhood!ReplyDelete
Good for her! I think that kids need to enjoy learning. That's the main thing, right?ReplyDelete
It is a scary thought, isn't it? Spoiled children will probably become spoiled adults...Not very nice...ReplyDelete
I also think that children need to get bored from time to time (not always, obviously). After all, they need to learn what to do with themselves ti become independent.
You are right, academic success is just one part of a very complicated equation (no pun intended!). I want my daughters ti be happy and to be passionate about something. I think hat 's how they will learn?ReplyDelete
I totally agree. A tutor has to help if, for some reason, there is some catching up to do. Well, that's not what I see around me. Not at all.ReplyDelete
Completely agreeReplyDelete
- SueraeStein14 October 2013 at 12:11
I have mixed feelings about tutors. Our public educational system certainly has shortcomings when it comes to meeting the needs of all children, so I would think tutoring might be necessary in some cases, but I think 7 is so very young! And if she is being tutored in every subject, then it sounds like either she may have a learning disability, or her parents have some sick need for her to be top of her class.ReplyDelete
- Ann Mullen14 October 2013 at 15:32
My youngest was homeschooled for 2 years and she learned how to learn on her own and was actually tutoring the boys in her college classes.ReplyDelete
- Ann Mullen14 October 2013 at 15:54
OK. I am going to make all of you mad. I have seen how kids in the North Eastern parts of the US are pressed from pre-kinder on to excel. I have seen what happens to kids who don't do well enough to get into top schools there. If the kids don't get into top schools, they can't get top jobs. If they don't get top jobs, they will have to move to a state where they can be competitive. Do you want to live in a state with kids who got Cs in engineering school building your bridges?ReplyDelete
This scares me to death. There isn't as much pressure in the parts of Texas that I have lived in, but in the big cities kids need to know what college they want to attend while they are in middle school.
The parents put on the push because they know how hard it is for them to survive the competition. They want to make sure that their kids do well. Maybe there is personal pride in the saying "My son, the doctor" , but more than that is the hope that we are gone, our kids will be OK.
One last thing, about that little one with tutors for every subject, whether she going to school or not, she is being homeschooled and it is better for her. These tutors have to find ways into that particular little girl's head. Something a teacher with a roomful of active children cannot do for each child.
I think that it is the latter. And I also think that, in this case, it is simply too much for her.ReplyDelete
I am all about striving for excellence, and I understand why her parents are paying her so many tutors -it is a tough world out there! That said, I just can't help thinking that this is not the right way to learn. She might suffer from a burn-out at some point. We will see what happens.ReplyDelete
Sorry I did everything wrong. My kids OD'ed on TV and when they got their computers spent hours on them. 2 of the 3 have graduated from university. However, when we did anything, we did it as a family. I'd scrap the tutor.ReplyDelete
It is a difficult decision, but I also think that in this instance they should scrap the tutors. Let's see what happens...ReplyDelete

A few highlights before our final Warm-Up Week blog:
1) Give-Away drawing for Kay Warren's Dangerous Surrender ends soon! All comments April 22-30 will be entered and one name drawn on May 1st.
2) In case you missed the video at the end of Warm-Up Day #8, here's the link: http://youtu.be/iu9Y7huYScg
3) The feedback some of you have sent via e-mail and Facebook is such a blessing to me! With permission, I'd like to share this from Laura Luyt:
I just was prompted to send you a quick email as I was just skimming through your eBook [Top Ten Priceless Gifts That Don't Cost a Dime for Each PURSE-onality] about the 4 personalities.
I don't even know if you'll get this, but I just have to say THANK YOU.
Thank you for explaining them... although I cannot figure out which one I am (I seem to be all of them!) but reading through the GIFTS for each type... it. has. me. in. tears.
I am eager to read on and learn more, and begin to study each of my children, myself, my husband, and learn to give them the gifts that mean something important to them. WHAT A GIFT! To learn what really means something to them in their language, and then gift it to them. THANK YOU.
Tears, I tell you! Spilling down. Washing. Exciting and promising.
Bless you.
I am blessed to hear that something I've shared is making a difference! Really, that's what The PURSE-onality Challenge (and life!) is all about. My dad used to tell me that "sharing the gospel is simply one beggar telling another beggar where he found food."
One day, early in our marriage, Daniel was sitting on the floor in front of me, massaging my feet, while I was giving him a neck rub. My neck was absolutely killing me, and all the effort he was putting into my feet seemed like such a waste!
Suddenly it occurred to me to ask him, "Would you prefer a foot massage?" And he tentatively asked me, "Would you rather have a neck rub?" We laughed, switched places, and soon we both felt wonderful.
We'd each been giving gifts we wanted to receive, which was natural and even sweet. But neither of us received a real gift until we switched places and got what we truly needed. Over time, if we'd kept up this habit, we would have both felt unappreciated and misunderstood.
Romans 12:18 says "as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." The better I understand each PURSE-son's "gift language," the more fully I can do the part that depends on me to live at peace.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Now, back to our regularly-scheduled blogging!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Since the real deal (finally!) starts tomorrow, I thought I'd share the nitty-gritty of what The PURSE-onality Challenge looks and sounds like for me.
Step 1: My husband walks into the kitchen while I'm working on a blog post. I can't get the font sizing to work right, so I start griping out loud, "What on earth are are you doing?"
Daniel, ever the gentleman, asks me, "What are you trying to do?" to which I feel the urge to snap, "Nothing! I wasn't talking to you!" (While thinking None of your business! I don't need your help! Quit trying to solve my problems!)
Since the Holy Spirit has recently pointed out that I start complaining aloud within 10 seconds of Daniel entering the kitchen, I own my problem by switching my bracelet from one wrist to the other. I surrender my font frustration to God: Lord, I'm frustrated and feel like taking it out on Daniel. Take this from me. I don't want it in my heart or coming out my mouth. And I say nothing aloud to Daniel.
Step 2: I pull out my PURSE-onality "gift card" (yes, even though I've been learning and teaching this for 30 years, when I'm upset, I need my cue card!) and spotlight a strength Daniel brings to my life: analysis.
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again, Rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4),
intentionally replacing my "baditude" with God's word.
Step 4: I choose thoughts of gratitude for a husband who loves to analyze and solve problems. I grab my journal and write a few lines:
- Today I'm praying...that Daniel feel my appreciation of his analytical abilities.
- Today I'm watching for...an opportunity to thank Daniel for the ways he blesses me with his gift of analysis.
- Today I'm appreciating...all the times Daniel has analyzed my computer and brought it back from the grave!
Q: So, Cheri, do you step through these perfectly every time?
A: Oh, puh-leaze.
Q: Do you feel super spiritual as you move into Step 1? (or at least by Step 4?)
A: Mmmm, not so much.
Q: Then what does happen for you as you go through these steps over and over again?
A: Over time, I've noticed that
- I'm becoming more open to the Holy Spirit's leading as he shows me ways in which I am "waging war as the world does" (my habits of complaining, criticism, gossip, and sarcasm!)
- I'm becoming more intentional about seeking "divine power to demolish strongholds" (reaching for God's word)
- I'm sensing myself growing and seeing my relationships improving as I "take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (stopping "baditude" and, instead, thinking gratitude)
Check it out: Christy from One Fun Mom has a great post called "Taking My Thoughts Captive {and a printable of God's promises}" over at The Better Mom
- What does 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 say to you today?
- What questions do you have as we prepare to start The PURSE-onality Challenge?
- What else has God laid on your heart as you've read this?

Sweepstakes registrants can also play an online instant win game daily, which features prizes including:
- $500 cash in your PayPal™ account to help you jumpstart your healthy routine with products from Jamba Juice®, Foot Locker®, and other participating merchants
- Kinect for Xbox 360 prize pack featuring Nike+ Kinect Training

Participants who play the instant win game and do not win an instant prize will receive one of three Jamba Juice coupon offers: $2.00 Fit 'n Fruitful™ Smoothie, $2.00 All Fruit™ Smoothie, or $1.00 Steel-cut Oatmeal. Additionally, sweepstakes registrants can earn extra entries to the grand prize drawing by sharing, through Facebook, Twitter or e-mail, with friends who then enter the sweepstakes themselves or by "checking in" at their local Jamba Juice stores.
