Music Scholarships for Independent Schools, Do they encourage child abuse? |

We have a few local independent schools - not specialist music schools, that's rather different - that offer a discount on fees by way of a scholarship in various fields. There's generally a maths scholarship, an academic scholarship, a sports scholarship and a music scholarship.
I know an eight year old entering for grade 5 piano this term. It's essential to the parents that this child continues to show outstanding achievement to maintain their music scholarship and hefty discount at their school. The child gets back from school at 7pm (no homework as it's done at school) and then has time for tea and practice before bed and then doing it all again the next day. I can't say whether the child is enjoying this routine but I know the mother is very, very strict about practice. Isn't this sort of pressure on a child a form of abuse? Are the music scholarships perpetuating this? Any thoughts? |

I don't suppose the schools set up scholarships with any intention or thoughts that they could lead to abuse. Different families will handle the situation differently and to some the education package will be very important and that may lead to added pressure to perform. Perhaps this would have occured anyway if the child showed any sort of talent and it's made worse by the school situation.
You never know the child may love her school and want to remain there and understand the need to do well on piano in order to do so. I'm not sure you can really blame the school. It's really difficult for parents as I'm sure there are ways in which we can all be seen as pushy, too focused or whatever. In my experience all the people we know who do well with their music have involved parents, talented people whose parent's are less involved often don't make the same progress, though there will always be exceptions. At that age my girls danced and they were both heavily involved, it was mostly school, dancing and bed. Homework was fitted in when they could and it probably seemed harsh to outsiders. They did love it as it was very social and fun as well as hard work. |

It sounds to me that the pressure is coming from the parents rather than the school.
My girls both have music scholarships at a school where the music is very strong. Both had grade 5 on one instrument and were about to take grade 5 on a second when they applied. Other local independent schools expect less. I'd have thought very few schools would be expecting much above grade 5 even at 11+ though obviously they will expect progress to be made. Have just checked what the Purcell School (as an example) expects for entrants at 9: it's grade 5 for pianists and string players. Grade 4 for others. Getting home at 7pm sounds very late. Surely at the age of 8 the child can't be doing homework until then? If they are doing other activities after school, including relaxing and playing with friends, getting home at 7 is not so bad. |

Music scholarships are often overly demanding on a child's time and with very little financial reward. If the financial reward is great then it is rarely seen by the child. Pressure, if there is any, usually always comes from the parent or the child.

daughter failed to get into specialist music school at age 9 with Grade 5 on both Singing & Piano
But with Grade 8+ (to performance standard) at age 10 she managed to get Yes on spot in 2 of the music schools. I hope this will give some indication to the expected standard Have just checked what the Purcell School (as an example) expects for entrants at 9: it's grade 5 for pianists and string players. Grade 4 for others. |

Each school is bit different, as we looked around at least 4 specialist schools. Some are after just natural spark, but others look for fine, polished and confident musicians. Also the intensity varies depends on the location of school as well.

But the child in question is not trying to get a place at a specialist school. S/he is in a non-specialist school which one would assume would be less demanding than the music schools. In any event the child already has a scholarship. Presumably s/he has to reapply at 11 or 13 and that is what the parent is worrying about, but that's quite a long way off for an 8 yr old.

Firstly, hefty discounts do not exist any more at most independent schools. Scholarships are often worth 5-15% of fees- sometimes they are worth nothing. Bursaries might be topping up a scholarship though, but these are often means tested. Not many schools offer scholarships of more than 30%.
Secondly, when children as young as 8 stay at school late, they are usually doing activities- fun stuff- not school work. The school may end at 4. They then might do craft, or singing, or fencing, or dancing or cooking. At my daughter's school, you can pick the children up at 4 or they can stay til 6. The younger ones would have done their homework too. It is like extended child care for parents who work. The only time my 13 year old stays til 5 is if she has a match or on a Tuesday when it's string group and 5 on a Wed when she stays at school to practice. I teach in independent and state schools and in some of the state primaries children stay til 6 in an after school club and presumably would then have to go home to practice. Thirdly- My 13 year old has got a music scholarship for next year at a senior school. She is getting prepared for Gr 7 on violin and just done Gr 3 on piano, but the school wasn't that concerned about Grades passed. Music is certainly not her main interest. She is a competitive gymnast. Fourthly, you have to remember that independent schools have really long holidays.... when the children really relax and wind down! Sometimes the pace of life is different in term times because of the length of the holidays. It's difficult to say whether the child is happy but as a parent I would not be happy if I was paying for music lessons and the child didn't practice. What's the point? As a teacher, teaching a child who doesn't practice is hard work at times too.... It's not child abuse, if the child has been having fun say from 4-6 say at school, with their friends and then comes home to practice. It might not be what everyone would choose for their child- but it's not wrong and the older I get the more I realise that there is more than one valid way to bring up a child. |

Isn't this sort of pressure on a child a form of abuse? Are the music scholarships perpetuating this? Any thoughts? I would say that forcing a child to practice something against their will just to gain some financial reward (especially one that is never relayed to the child) is tantamount to abuse. Whether the school is encouraging it is a bit different... You could say that following the same line of thought boarding schools encourage gross neglect. I just hope that schools have enough insight to find children who actually enjoy their music and voluntarily practice and learn. Either way there is a whole load of debate on this topic of strict parenting and forcing children to do stuff as well as whether it is good or bad for kids. To add some extra dimensions to the topic, check out this Tiger Mum stuff for examples. Here's an extract from this newspaper article (which in turn extracted it from the book mentioned above): QUOTE Lulu was about 7, still playing two instruments, and working on a piano piece called "The Little White Donkey" by the French composer Jacques Ibert. The piece is really cute?you can just imagine a little donkey ambling along a country road with its master?but it's also incredibly difficult for young players because the two hands have to keep schizophrenically different rhythms. Lulu couldn't do it. We worked on it nonstop for a week, drilling each of her hands separately, over and over. But whenever we tried putting the hands together, one always morphed into the other, and everything fell apart. Finally, the day before her lesson, Lulu announced in exasperation that she was giving up and stomped off. "Get back to the piano now," I ordered. "You can't make me." "Oh yes, I can." Back at the piano, Lulu made me pay. She punched, thrashed and kicked. She grabbed the music score and tore it to shreds. I taped the score back together and encased it in a plastic shield so that it could never be destroyed again. Then I hauled Lulu's dollhouse to the car and told her I'd donate it to the Salvation Army piece by piece if she didn't have "The Little White Donkey" perfect by the next day. When Lulu said, "I thought you were going to the Salvation Army, why are you still here?" I threatened her with no lunch, no dinner, no Christmas or Hanukkah presents, no birthday parties for two, three, four years. When she still kept playing it wrong, I told her she was purposely working herself into a frenzy because she was secretly afraid she couldn't do it. I told her to stop being lazy, cowardly, self-indulgent and pathetic. Jed took me aside. He told me to stop insulting Lulu?which I wasn't even doing, I was just motivating her?and that he didn't think threatening Lulu was helpful. Also, he said, maybe Lulu really just couldn't do the technique?perhaps she didn't have the coordination yet?had I considered that possibility? "You just don't believe in her," I accused. "That's ridiculous," Jed said scornfully. "Of course I do." "Sophia could play the piece when she was this age." "But Lulu and Sophia are different people," Jed pointed out. "Oh no, not this," I said, rolling my eyes. "Everyone is special in their special own way," I mimicked sarcastically. "Even losers are special in their own special way. Well don't worry, you don't have to lift a finger. I'm willing to put in as long as it takes, and I'm happy to be the one hated. And you can be the one they adore because you make them pancakes and take them to Yankees games." I rolled up my sleeves and went back to Lulu. I used every weapon and tactic I could think of. We worked right through dinner into the night, and I wouldn't let Lulu get up, not for water, not even to go to the bathroom. The house became a war zone, and I lost my voice yelling, but still there seemed to be only negative progress, and even I began to have doubts. Then, out of the blue, Lulu did it. Her hands suddenly came together?her right and left hands each doing their own imperturbable thing?just like that. Lulu realized it the same time I did. I held my breath. She tried it tentatively again. Then she played it more confidently and faster, and still the rhythm held. A moment later, she was beaming. I doubt every child that gets a scholarship goes through the same thing. But some definitely do, and it is difficult to compete with other children at this age on a performance basis if they are practicing that hard (albeit for all the wrong reasons). It's only later when they will get their own choice to quit that the competition might become a bit more fair. |

How to boarding schools encourage gross neglect? That seems like a ridiculous statement to make. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) If we define neglect as a lack of interaction with a child, then sending them off to boarding school, where it is very difficult to interact with them except at holidays will easily facilitate this. There's a lot of differences though. Children are usually older/teens. Rather than outrightly ignoring children it is easily possible to write, email, call and skype there can definitely be some interaction (is this equal to having a child at home?). Also they can form bonds with teachers and the like (although the teacher will have other kids to look after so it's not quite the 1:1 of parent:child). So boarding school definitely does not = neglect. But if a parent did want to neglect their child/had enough of them etc. they could just send them to boarding school and not bother trying to communicate at all. If the child wasn't at boarding school it would be very difficult to ignore them. To put this in perspective. A lot of child psychologists are starting to argue that the super nanny (was created long before her) technique of 'time out' is a form of neglect, and if not used properly can be equal to abuse. It's all really controversial though. |

I'm sure child psychologists, many who never have had children or work such long hours that their kids are being looked after by a nanny, think every generation has abused their children. I tend to think that the most neglectful parents are probably those that criticse other parents or parenting styles and fail to see what they themselves are not doing.

Although being hypocritical of someones parenting and not appreciating their own faults is bad. I would say that consciously neglecting is by far the worst sort.
As for the child psychologist thing, some may have that life, some may not. All I know about is the studies that are produced. And those are meant to be unbiased analysis that shouldn't be affected by that psychologists lifestyle, bad parent/good parent/no parent. As I said though, it is controversial, so nothing can be taken as absolute truth. Parenting styles tend to change for every generation anyway so whatever is considered 'right' now, may be seen as ridiculous or abusive in the next generation. If scholarships encourage abusive parenting as some would think of it today, it might be thought of completely differently in the future. Either way I think we are heading off topic. |

Staff-recommended reading from the KPL catalog.
Guess who is observing a 60th this year? It's Lucy. In this large commemorative volume are summaries of all the episodes of "I Love Lucy," complete with photos to accompany each. Also included are recipes of foods they ate on the show, lyrics of songs they sang, and little-known facts about the production. At the back is a section that has information about, photos of, and comments by Lucille Ball's real-life family. I'm a long-term Lucy fan, and I've looked at a lot of Lucy books, but this one has much that I had never seen before. KPL also owns the DVDs for those who would be interested in watching the show.
Last year when we got 11 points guide to hooking up (by Sam Greenspan, who created the site 11points.com, where he posts funny lists of 11 items "because top ten lists are for cowards"), I thought it would be funny to put it here on the blog, and then I promptly forgot all about it. Last month, while looking up relationship books for a patron, I stumbled across it again, and checked it out for a fun, fast read. I wasn't expecting it to contain much in the way of helpful advice, but it actually does, with lists including "11 Ideas for Fun, Memorable Dates", "11 Tips for Proposing, Wrangling, and Shining during a Threesome", and "11 Ways to Transition a Friendship into a Relationship". You'll find it shelved with humor books, and it definitely entertains; it also hits home a lot of the time.

Good for the buy. Lightweight and secure. The only con is when youre putting a jersey on over it, it snags the straps, but that can be fixed by completley covering the velcro. Flexible,and it's good if you need to play goalie, but probably not all the time. Great for a beginner. Investing [$] into these pads is a wise decision and I reccomend it as I've been using these since I was 14.

APD: Stolen Car Call Lands Man in Jail for Felony Warrant
By: Officer George Spindler, APD
Updated: June 26, 2012
Last night at about 9:50, Officer Matthew Allen was dispatched to the area of North First and Green Street for a stolen vehicle call. Officer Allen's investigation revealed that an unknown suspect took the victim's Ford Explorer without permission. Shortly after taking the theft report, at about 10:30 p.m., Officer Allen spotted the stolen vehicle in the 200 block of Green Street and initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle. The sole occupant of the vehicle, an uncooperative male suspect, was detained. Officer Allen's investigation revealed that the suspect claimed he had given an unknown male some money to borrow the Ford Explorer. A records check revealed the suspect to have a felony warrant out of Harris County for non-payment of child support. The suspect was arrested on the warrant and for felony theft of the motor vehicle.
Just after midnight, Officer Damien Hutchinson contacted a motorist in the 2100 block of North Willis Street for a traffic violation. Officer Hutchinson contacted a male driver and smelled the odor of alcohol coming from him. The driver also showed indicators of intoxication. The driver agreed to have field sobriety tests administered to him but refused to continue the tests shortly after Officer Hutchinson began giving them. The driver was arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) and refused to provide a breath sample.

Here's a photo log of eating and holidaying in the Maldives :)
Probably the best thin-crust pizza Margherita on the planet!
And it went so well with the Guinness
The same chef whipped up this pasta with cream sauce and a hint of truffle which was unbelievably good
At their Maldivian-Indian restaurant, we had papads with fig chutney. The chutney grows on you - the first time I tasted it, I wasn't impressed, but by the end of the meal, I was scooping it up
And that was followed by an unusual salad of tandoori vegetables in a cream-yogurt sauce
As we lazed by the pool, we ordered many things. One was a bowl of Japanese noodle soup, and then some fantastic sushi and finally a basic mozzarella and greens sandwich...tasted even better after a long swim and with the waves in the background!
And then a romantic dinner: we started off with a bread basket. The basket was so lovely and I enjoyed the wine...
My salad was hearts of palm, cherry tomatoes, greens and avocado. I don't much care for avocado but the rest was scrumptious. I was half-way through it before I remembered to photograph it!
My main meal was Thai Green Curry Vegetable, stir-fried vegetables and Jasmine Rice. I couldn't photograph that well at all. The stir-fried veggies had a nice touch of some carved carrots in the shape of crabs! It was a delightful touch since we had crabs crawling around our feet the whole time! But my husband wasn't complaining when he got his clams and lobster.
The dessert was truly decadent. I had chocolate cake. My husband had tiramisu. Nothing could have tasted better! Especially sitting on the beach a few feet from the waves.
Sipping cocktails, snorkeling, swimming, lying by the beach, eating and really not having any agenda at all...that was a perfect holiday!
*sigh* I recommend the Maldives to everyone wanting a lovely break. Just an hour's flight from Bangalore city, or 1/2 hour from Trivandrum airport, the Maldives is a perfect weekend break.

Very Nice, Is it a good place to idle around on your honeymoon?
- Arundathi said...
Of course. Absolutely perfect for a honeymoon...or a second honeymoon! :)
Not sure if I'd take children along - there isnt much for them to do especially if they're under 5. Otherwise maybe they could swim and play on the beach. - 10:49 PM
- C_h_i_l_l said...
Well, I'm getting married soon so... I've become a regular of your blog because we share a common passion- Food!
I love food so much that I learnt cooking to satiate my thirst for the culinary delights, during my years in London. :) - 12:22 AM
- Arundathi said...
Learning cooking is the nicest way to experiment, I've found! :) Easier than going to new restaurants - esp when you're in Chennai and there isnt exactly a huge variety of different cuisines.
Definitely recommend the Maldives for your honeymoon... - 2:13 AM
- Archana, mama of twins said...
Where did you stay in the Maldives? We might do this next time in India for a 3 day/2 night stay from bangalore... It looks really nice.
- Arundathi said...
Archana, we stayed at the Four Seasons Kuda Hura, but there are tons and tons of resorts, including the Taj Exotica, which are fabulous.
You should try and do it to get away for a little while. We went in the monsoon season in June, but by July-August, it's bright and sunny again.
And I should add that the monsoon season was just in name. We had one day of rain and the rest of the 4 days we were there were completely sunny. - 7:14 PM

what a romantic getaway aru, looks like u had fabulous time. i have been wanting to visit maldivis since quite some time. the first pic is out of this world.
and b4 i forget, thanks for tagging me. i will take up the MeMe sometimes soon:) i was amazed to see u wrote urr exams when ur whole house burntdown to ashes:) - 6:50 AM
- Arundathi said...
Thanks Sia! It was just fabulous - our first holiday which wasn't kiddie oriented! You should go to the Maldives - its fabulous!
About the fire - yeah, as I said, it was an extreme form of spring cleaning. But I would've been less stressed if it hadnt happened during my finals! LOL! For that matter, I would've been happier if it hadnt happened at all! Do do the MeMe if you can - I'd love to read what you have to say! - 7:42 AM
- Sig said...
Wow, beautiful pictures... Maldives is in my list of places to visit, thanks for sharing Arundathi...looks like you guys had a fun trip, food looks amazing!
- Arundathi said...
thanks sig - we had a fantastic time...definitely one of our best holidays yet!
- Raaga said...
Easier than going to new restaurants - esp when you're in Chennai and there isnt exactly a huge variety of different cuisines.
What cuisine do you want that you don't get in Chennai?
Nice pics though... Sach and I shall plan when we move back to BLR. - 3:58 AM
- Arundathi said...
@ Raaga - spanish? tapas? great pizza? steak? good sushi? vietnamese? malay? singaporean?
need i go on? i guess what i meant was good food - not just a variety. i mean, chennai has sushi - but i wouldn't eat there again if you paid me to. - 8:05 AM
- Raaga said...
In my time there, Zara's was a great place for Tapas... and Spanish food. Great Pizza... Amma :-) I can arrange for you guys to eat there.
I've heard of some Malay Singaporean places... two in fact... one of them is in Adyar... don't remember names... its 10 years since I moved out :-((
Steak ellam my bro would know... I wouldn't touch beef in India... they'll serve me buffalo meat! - 2:24 AM
- Arundathi said...
Forget the steak - I'm vegetarian - though I see my husband daydreams of eating steak like he did in the US.
the Malay/Singaporean places - there's a new place called Singapore Rex that opened up - maybe you are referring to that? It is quite bad.
Pizza - Sure! - 6:28 PM
- Raaga said...
I am talking about 1997 :-) The Singaporean Malay food thingies were out there even then... I've eaten beef in the US... as a kid :-) like I said, in India, thoda matten!! But as you can see from my blog, me's essentially a vegetarian too.
- Arundathi said...
i'm vegetarian too
- Nandita said...
Hey Arundathi,
just seeing this now...an hour from bglr??? and 1/2 hr from Trivandrum, I did not know at all that Maldives is THAT close...Your pictures truly inspire me to go there soon! - 12:09 PM
- Arundathi said...
Definitely worth a trip - fantastic place! Sigh - only been a few months but feels like ages ago! Need to go again sooN! :)
- maldives dive travel said...
Maldives is an amazing place to visit. It's a very popular destination for scuba divers because of the fabulous coral reefs and the wealth of marine life.
- Arundathi said...
@ Maldives Dive Travel - I'm sure it is. Amazing place is right!

For many, gambling grows from an occasional social activity to a compulsively negative behavior which is no longer a choice. Compulsive gambling is not a bad habit but rather a life-threatening disorder. Compulsive gambling is destructive to families, friendships and careers. Bills go unpaid. Basic needs like money for food and rent are neglected. Some gamblers become suicidal. Most will need help to change their gambling behavior.
Common signs of gambling problems include:
- Increasing the frequency of gambling activity.
- Increasing the amount of money gambled.
- Spending an excessive amount of time gambling at the expense of job or family time.
- Being preoccupied with gambling or with obtaining money with which to gamble.
- Experiencing a special or intense pleasure or an aroused sense of being in "action" when gambling.
- Borrowing money to gamble, taking out secret loans, cashing in or borrowing on life insurance policies or maximizing credit cards.
- Bragging about wins but not talking about losses.
- Having frequent mood swings, higher when winning, lower when losing.
- Secretive behavior, such as hiding lottery tickets, betting slips, having mail, bills, etc. sent to work, a P.O. box, or other address.
Are you, or someone you love, a compulsive gambler? Any of the above behavior may indicate a gambling problem. Assisting a person to get the best help available is often the most caring action anyone can take.
As with other addictions, knowledge of the symptoms, detection, and intervention by addiction professionals, concerned friends, and family members can be very effective in obtaining treatment for the problem gambler.
At Positive Directions, our professional counselors develop a treatment plan that explores and identifies the feelings and emotional needs of the gambler and is focused on replacing the action and 'medication' that gambling provided with new skills and activities, and stopping the availability of the money needed to engage in the process.
Remember, like other addictions, gambling is treatable.
If gambling has become a problem for you or someone you care about, please call us.

I'm wondering if anyone recognizes a Bernat yarn I believe has been discontinued; purchased about 6 years ago at Wal-Mart; changes color along the skein (mine is primarily olive green with flecks of teal, inky blue/purple and an orange red); very soft and about mid-weight yarn; used to make a an easy Bernat pattern knit cape that includes a knit flower as a sewn on permanent closure; the cape is stocking stitch with edges and shoulders/top area in garter stitch. I've checked the "discontinued yarns" area of the Bernat website and did not see the yarn I used.
I was hoping to make another and seem to have misplaced the pattern and ball band though I have more of the yarn. If the yarn has been discontinued, I'd appreciate knowing the tension or suggested substitutes as well as where I can access the pattern.
Many thanks,

Maine man shoots self in foot with shotgun
Sunday, November 18, 2012
MERCER, Maine (AP) � A central Maine man is recovering after accidentally shooting himself in the foot after hunting. The Maine Warden Service said 37-year-old Andrew Knight of Rome was returning from the woods to meet with family members after a hunting outing Saturday when he rested his 12-gauge shotgun on his left foot. Knight told officials the gun then discharged, firing buckshot into his foot. Authorities say Knight was taken by ambulance to Inland Hospital in Watervillle, where he was reported in stable condition. |

Thoughts on Steven Hauschka and the franchise tag
The Seahawks entered last offseason with several key players set to hit free agency. Running back Marshawn Lynch, defensive end Red Bryant, linebackers Leroy Hill and David Hawthorne, offensive linemen Paul McQuistan and Breno Giacomini, fullback Michael Robinson and tight end John Carlson were among those without contracts for the 2013 season.
Seattle's Steven Hauschka connected on 27 of 30 field-goal attempts last season, including the playoffs. (AP) |
Monday marked the beginning of a two-week window during which teams can designate franchise players, and Hauschka is considered the most likely candidate to receive the tag from the Seahawks. Some of their other pending unrestricted free agents – a list that includes defensive tackles Alan Branch and Jason Jones, Hill, and cornerback Marcus Trufant – could be back next season, but not under the franchise tag.
Hauschka's accuracy and a relatively low price tag are reasons why he makes sense as a potential franchise player.
Hauschka was mostly reliable last season, his second in Seattle. He connected on 24 of 27 field-goal attempts during the regular season before making all three of his attempts in the playoffs. One of those misses was the result of a blocked attempt. He was 23 of 23 on kicks inside of 50 yards.
The projected franchise figure for kickers (and punters) is $2,926,000. While that's more than twice what Hauschka made in 2012, it's by no means a prohibitive amount, especially considering the Seahawks' healthy salary-cap situation.
There's precedent for such a move, too. The Seahawks tagged Olindo Mare in 2010, a year after he went 24 of 26 on field-goal attempts. That one-year offer came with a $2.8 million salary, which was roughly double what Mare made the year before.
While team's could do much worse than a kicker with Hauschka's accuracy, his leg strength does leave something to be desired. He made only one field goal longer than 50 yards last season, and the fact that he only attempted four of them suggests the Seahawks didn't trust his ability to connect from long range.
Might the influx of strong-legged kickers from last year's draft class compel the Seahawks to try to find the next Greg Zuerlein, Blair Walsh or Justin Tucker? Possibly. That route would be cheaper, for sure, but there's no guarantee this draft class includes kickers of that caliber.
Teams have until March 4 to use the franchise tag. Free agency begins the following week.

CHS currently has the student population to be a Class 1A school with 150, which is larger than Central Catholic in Morgan City's 140 students and just below Hanson Memorial's 160 students in Franklin.
But, the Bulldogs aren't allowed to play in Class 1A without a football team, despite its size.
"We have (the numbers), but the way the rules have been set up in the past, you have to play football in order to move up to Class 1A, so we figure we're going to give this a shot at the lower level and hope that it grows," CHS principal Mike Galler said.
The plan is to play a partial junior high schedule for the next two years.
"For the next two years we're going to have a junior high team," Galler said. "We may not play a full schedule, which means we're not going to play eight games, but we might play five or six."
The six-year plan would move on to junior varsity during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years before moving up to what is currently known as Class 1A in 2015-16.
"After the first two years, we're going to move into what we hope will be a JV schedule," Galler said. "There are several obstacles we have to overcome to get to that point. One being participation, two being support. We have about 30 kids signed up for junior high football now."
Staff coaches Gerald Comeaux and Steve Nugent will coach the junior high this year along with three parent volunteers.
The CHS campus doesn't have a stadium at the moment, so the team is looking at its options for a home field while the proper steps are taken to get one on campus.
"We don't have any of that," Galler said. "We hope to play three games on the road and three at home. We are working on and talking with other schools about if our field isn't ready - to play at their field."
Franklin High School's stadium would be the closest and most convenient location for Centerville games, but the site has not been determined yet.
The Bulldogs do have options with both West St. Mary in Baldwin and Hanson Memorial in Franklin having on-campus stadiums that could be used as well.
"We have a football field and an all-weather track," Galler said. "And we have a baseball and softball field. We don't have it marked or goal posts, since we've never had (football). That will be part of the process as well."
The Bulldogs would add a third Class 1A team to St. Mary Parish and provide a short road trip for Central Catholic and Hanson Memorial and possibly a new district rival.
Centerville volleyball is currently in District 5-Division V along with Central Catholic so the schools will be no strangers to each other on the volleyball court and could soon extend the competition to other sports.

CU-Boulder encourages students to research various health plan options in order to make informed choices about health care. CU-Boulder has a mandatory policy that requires all students taking 1 or more credit hours to be covered by a health insurance plan. Students may elect coverage under their own insurance, through an employer, or through their parents; however, you will be automatically enrolled and billed by the university for the Student Gold Health Insurance Plan unless you select the Wardenburg Campus Care Plan or waive coverage by the semester deadline.
Technology will play an important role in your learning and research experiences during your time as a student at CU-Boulder. The Office of Information Technology (OIT) is here to help you—enabling effective and innovative uses of information technology; and providing walk-in, online, and phone support.
International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) welcomes over 1500 international students—from over 80 different countries—to CU-Boulder every year. If you are an international student, visit the website or stop by for help with visa questions or for suggestions (including English as a second language assistance and information on international student clubs) on how to get the most out of your stay in the United States. ISSS is a part of the Office of International Education. www.colorado.edu/oie | Center for Community S355
For many students, a job is a necessity. Many CU-Boulder students work at least part time to help meet their school expenses. If you are looking for a job, check the student employment website. www.colorado.edu/studentemployment | Regents Administrative Center
If you're in need of legal assistance, you can consult with Legal Services. The attorneys provide legal counseling to students who pay full fees on matters such as landlord/tenant relations, small claims court, traffic violations, consumer affairs, simple wills, contracts, divorce, collections, criminal charges, and employment problems. They cannot advise you about tax laws, immigration, internal university problems, incorporations (small businesses), or real estate. In addition to counseling, advice, and other services, in-court representation is available in several types of cases.
The University Libraries have the tools you need to create successful research papers and projects: personal research assistance, drop-in research workshops, access to writing help, and vast scholarly resources (online journal articles, books, and more). And don't forget about the desktop computers, laptops available for checkout, group study rooms, 24/5 study space, and coffee shops. Take advantage of what the libraries have to offer! ucblibraries.colorado.edu
MyCUinfo, CU-Boulder's secure web portal, is your personal gateway to most of the online services that you need as a CU-Boulder student. Within MyCUinfo you will find everything from registration, to financial aid and billing, to news and announcements. MyCUinfo.colorado.edu.
This office supports the 22,000 students who live off campus. It maintains contact information for several apartment complexes and property management companies in the area. Students can use Ralphie's List, CU's rental database, to search hundreds of available units, find roommates, and post sublets. In addition, an attorney is available for free lease reviews and general legal advice. offcampushousing.colorado.edu | UMC 313 | 303-492-7053
Students visit the Ombuds Office in C4C for a variety of reasons. Issues range from conflicts with roommates, to feelings of being treated unfairly by a professor or administrative office. We help students identify options for their CU-related problem or conflict, in confidence and at no cost. Call or stop by to make an appointment to see an ombuds for assistance. ombuds.colorado.edu | Center for Community N440 | 303-492-5077
New student orientation occurs each January and summer for entering first-year and transfer students. Depending on your college or school, a variety of programs and sessions are available.

okay but can we take a minute to appreciate the Lilo & Stitch concept art
(via lililikesflamingos)
Chris Sanders (Co-Director of Lilo & Stitch, How To Train Your Dragon, The Croods) shares some unused storyboards from his latest film The Croods.
I think I'd rather just watch 90 mins of Sanders drawing storyboards than watch the finished movie; these are beautiful!
gd the movement and everything in each panel is so great
My friend and I were just talking about how you know the producers and/or studios were the main drive of an animated film when the storyboards are better than the actual finished product. The artists and creators know what they're doing, but the people with money don't let them do it.
augh the form and movement he manages to get is so amazing. i know he tends to draw all his women with the same look, but i maybe would rather have the main character be more like this than what seems to have made it to the movie… though you can still see some chris sander-y remnants in the final character design.

I want to integrate a batch console management that lists all available jobs and offers links to start/stop/schedule jobs. Regarding this, I have many questions (please correct me if any assumption is wrong) :
- What is the typical (recommended use) for the batch environment? One environment per batch (a job launcher, facade, etc with a configured jobConfigurationName and autostart=true) or a generic environement without configured jobName and invoked solely using the run(String name) or run(JobIdentifier id) (this second option will certainely require TaskExecutorJobLauncher, otherwise jobs can only be invoked serially).
- As I understand, the JobLauncher is the primary class for my purpose. Is there a single instance of this class or is there one instance per job execution ? i.e. is the job launcher a singleton or a protoype?
- In order to schedule jobs, shall I use the TaskExecutorJobLauncher and provide a TaskExecutor with scheduling capabilities, or shall I encapsulate the JobLauncher in a scheduler?
Maybe all above options are possible, but which one is recommended or, better stated, which one represents best your idea when you designed the framework?
In point 3 from above, if I use the TaskExecutor inside the JobLauncher, I might encounter problems when I schedule a job for a delayed execution, then invoke stop() : NoSuchJobConfigurationException because the job is not registered yet. Is this the way it should be, i.e. invoking start() does not ensure that I can invoke stop() right after ? In this case, I will certainely need to extend the JobLauncher for special delayed execution, by registering Futures in a map and cancelling one of them on stop() invocation, instead of directly stopping the container.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

1. | Post-Party Depression | ||
August 30, 2008 Urban Word of the Day
The feeling you have after a big party you had been anticipating is over. On sunday, I was experiencing post-party depression. After planning the big celebration for a month, I was sad when it was over.
2. | post-party depression | ||
Feeling letdown, gloomy, or sometimes even lonely the day (or days) following a party or other enjoyable social event. Person One: "What did you do all day Sunday?"
Person Two: "I was easing my post-party depression by laying in bed watching Buffy all day." |
3. | post-party depression | ||
the low you hit after a great party dan: dude, why you so bummed? that party was great!
john: just post-party depression |
4. | Post-Party Depression | ||
is commonly experienced following parties of any kind. Severity of symptoms may depend on a number of variables, two of which being the duration of the event, and general level of epicness. The symptoms of depression may include, but are not limited to: feelings of emptiness, loneliness, disconnect, gloominess, and general sadness. The individual may feel reclusive, or oppositely, the need to connect with certain people -- possibly both. Once everyone has gone their separate ways, the world feels empty, and one may feel disconnected from it. Their emotions feel detuned and/or out of tune, creating an inescapable feeling of dissonance. For the time being, one is without their much needed sense of normality which, while emotionally disconcerting, may cause him or her to become very reflective in a rather nostalgic way. Treatment for Post-Party Depression: Naps, watching your favorite TV shows, watching movies, comfort foods, relaxing, playing old video games, talking to people online or on the phone, post-poning any obligations until symptoms subside.
5. | post-party depression | ||
Basically hungover but with remorse and pain that results from over doing it the night before. "Man all day I was lying around thinking 'I want my mommy'...
I had post-party depression. |
