Play Me Off, Susan

I'm sure all of you have heard of Susan Boyle. She was the famous internet celebrity after nailing a performance on "Britian's Got Talent." She amazed audiences and judges alike after singing a song from Les Miserables because her amazing voice was so unexpected.

Apparently, the pressure was too much because she was found outside a hotel swearing at guests and cops! Boyle, the stumpy singer from Scotland who stunned everyone with her amazing voice, yelled "F*** off" to a television camera tuned to a popular show in Britain. She soon realized how important this whole event was because this was a woman who has never been kissed, and here she was at a show that could change her life forever.


Overnight sensation Susan Boyle threatened to retire from "Britain's Got Talent" after having a meltdown in a London hotel.

Morgan told "The Early Show" that the breakout star has been a whole mess since earning a spot in the finale.

"She even threatened to leave the show yesterday at one stage because of the sheer amount of pressure on her," Morgan told anchor Maggie Rodriguez.


She apparently yelled at the strangers, "How f---ing dare you! You can't f---ing talk to me like that."

Last week, her voiced cracked at the start of her performance.
She understands that she has an important singing career ahead of her only if she nails this final performance. The given pressure is tremendous and so our sympathy goes out to her.

To Future Parents

Look at this baby. Isn't she adorable? The little smile on her face tells me that she has no worries in her life and all she has, is hope for the future. So if the baby is blissful and ignorance is bliss, then is the baby stupid?

Many people argue that babies come out of the womb as empty vessels waiting to be filled with a conscience mind. They argue that it is as they grow up that they start learning many different things. According to Dr. Jacobs, this is not true.

Babies come out of the womb with an alert mind and Dr. Jacobs tells us that babies already recognize the voice of their mothers from hearing it in the womb. With a great mind like this, what else could they know?

Babies are at their crucial point in their first two years because it is in those years that they are able to learn the most. If you want to become a good parent, it is important to know about what newborns know about people so you can help the development process for your child.

If you are a planning to start a family, or you have one but need some tips and guidance, here is an article to help you. Click here.

I know this is cliche but it is true when they say that our children are our future. Because... they are. After we pass away, the world will be inherited by our children. For the sake of progress, we must utilize the knowledge we have, to help our children to the fullest.

Best of luck in your journey with your children.

TVLesson is no longer going to be available online. A virus broke out within the servers and it caused mass deletion of many of our great videos. I just want to thank all of our fans for their support and our partners for their help…

APRIL FOOLS. Happy April Fools everybody. Growing up, I always wondered where April Fools originated from. According to very accurate sources, April Fools came from France when Charles IX changed the first day of the year to January 1st when it was April 1st. People decided to stick with the old April First and they were called fools; Hence the term April Fools. Wouldn’t it be terrible to be born on April first? No one would believe it was your birthday.

Speaking of birthdays, let’s wish a Happy Birthday to Mike Oh, our ever so popular blogger and senior editor. He turned 27 today so drop him some love on this blog post. If you want to go the extra mile and bake him a cake, you can watch this video here and cook him up a delicious dessert. I'm sure he will be ecstatic.

Man's Best Friend

Interestingly enough, health care professionals have noticed therapeutic effects through animal companionship; such as relieving stress, lowering blood pressure, and raising spirits. There is an account of a Yorkshire Terrier, belonging to Corporal William Wynne, used to cheer up wounded soldiers during the Second World War. However, the birth of therapy dogs can be contributed to Elaine Smith, an American who worked in England as a registered nurse. Smith noticed that patients responded better to a certain chaplain and his canine companion, a Golden Retriever; and upon returning to the United states in 1976 started a training program for dogs to visit institutions.

TVLesson, recently had the privilege to film videos for the Pet Prescription Team on the topic of therapy dogs and their effects on the people the encounter. Sure enough, through the canines friendly and playful demeanor they have brought smiles to patients of all ages:




Not only are these dogs trained to be playful and friendly, they are also taught a myriad of tricks. They are trained to sit, stay, play dead, shake, wave, spin, and much much more. Here is a short clip of some of the tricks the Pet Prescription Team teaches their dogs:

Jillian and Missy



Just looking at those pictures and watching this clip made my day 100 times better. Thank you to the Pet Prescription Team and to all of our loyal viewers and followers. Tune in later this week for a segment on a "snake snaaake snaaake o-ooo it's a snake."

Burn Notice (or Fabricator Notice)

A Burn Notice is "an official statement by one intelligence agency to other agencies, domestic or foreign, that an individual or group is unreliable for any of a variety of reasons."


Guess that is where the title and premise of the hit TV Series, "Burn Notice" came from. Michael Weston, the main character, receives a burn notice and is left with nothing. With all his assets frozen, Weston becomes a freelance spy/private investigator to earn money for his ongoing investigation for the man who burned him. Weston, being incredibly resourceful, uses household items to create surveillance devices, wireless signal jammers, CCTV blinder, etc. I don't know how hard it is to create wireless jammers or CCTV blinders, but surveillance devices seem pretty simple:

Spy Sunglasses

Spy Stethoscope

Spy Scope

I guess this is the grown up version of all the spy toys I had as child. Maybe I should have become a spy (one of my childhood dreams) with my mathematics degree. Well, enough strolling down memory lane and back to matter at hand. However, even with all this surveillance material at our disposable, why waste the time and money when the internet has made it incredibly easy to find information about almost anyone through social networking sites. You can even follow TVLesson through our Twitter and Facebook page. It's scary to find out exactly how much information about you can be found on the Internet.

Extra! Extra! Read All About It!!!

Time published an interesting article last month entitled, "How to Save Your Newspaper." Is it really possible to save the newspapers, when all that information is available on the internet for free? According to the Time, "it is now possible to contemplate a time when some major cities will no longer have a newspaper and when magazines and network-news operations will employ no more than a handful of reporters." Therefore, newspapers, like the dinosaurs, are a things of the past and on the verge of extinction. If you disagree, comment with your opinions.

Now let's move on to some breaking news:



First up, "The how-to site helps with flirting skills, or playing the banjo." That's right, this is an article in the OC Register on TVLesson. Definitely a milestone for TVLesson. It's been a tough year, but thanks to all of our members TVLesson is now a contender.

Now, I don't know how many of have heard, but Rosario Marin has resigned from her position as head of the State and Consumer Services Agency. According to the LA Times, Rosario "resigned Thursday after questions about income she received for giving speeches to private companies, including some that were doing business with her agency." Well, through these times I hope Rosario can remember the advice she gave TVLesson:

Thanks for tuning into TVLesson's Breaking News.

Drum Roll Please!!!!

This post is a lot later than usual; but as the saying goes, "better late, than never." So as promised, the winner of the poker tournament can found in this picture:


Next hint: On the left side of the picture.

Figure it out yet? Well, if you guessed the guy in the green playing Starcraft. Sorry, you fail. The winner was our talented, up and coming star, Abe. When asked what he was going to do with his winnings, and I quote, "buy Mike whatever he wants." Thanks for the offer Abe, but spend the money on yourself or buy those 2 lovely young ladies in the picture a nice dinner. As to the mystery man in the green. He is Brad Park, our Research Dept. Director, and an INCREDIBLE Starcraft player. Wish I had recorded him playing, but trust me when I say he is AMAZING. Similar to this guy, but better (excuse some of the language used in this video):



To end here is a picture of Brad playing Starcraft (sorry Brad I know I said I wouldn't post a picture of you, but I just had to for all of our TVLesson viewers).
