Nancy R:

I wish I could have had you talk to my son 2 years ago! (I tried & he would never listen to me) He graduated from college (here in GA) with a degree in Film & Video and because of his reluctance to move, hasn't done anything with it. (I think he mostly didn't want to leave his then-girlfriend behind!) He does have a job here (in retail) and knows he'd have to quit it to even get any job here in Atlanta in the field as it would all be freelance work, not a steady job. He is also a musician and plays lead guitar & drums--would love for him to get into that if not Film work. He's 25 and I hate to see him waste his life!

I have two kids 25, 28 and my oldest I feel that way. You can't go to school for ambition. My younest is the opposite. She was 5 credit short of her getting AA with honors to go become a Esthetician. I don't doubt she'll make it. I betting she have a salon in just a few years. I did have her talk to someone I used to use. She actully write text books for the schools so really know the inside out of the business. She loves what she does and makes good money. I had her interview all three schools. Just wish she get the AA for the sheep skin. The oldest has never had any zip but she says she happy. I was hoping she marry well. LOL.

I am 43 years old. A VERY young 43 years old.

This Bank Holiday Monday (14.45 BBC One) sees the highlight screening of the Annual Children's Promenade Concert from the BBC Proms Concerts 2012. Recorded earlier this year, this year it features the Aardman Animation characters Wallace and Gromit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01mfhrj http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-19049716 Previous Children's Proms have included a Doctor Who Prom complete with invasions by Daleks and other monsters and a Prom dedicated to the score and fantastic imagery from the Planet Earth natural history series. Broadcast first on Bank Holiday Monday it will then be available on the BBC iPlayer for a period (UK viewers only as usual) In previous years, a fuller version of the concert has appeared on the BBC interactive Red Button service as well - don't know if it will again but worth checking for.

Great Christmas special

Sorry guys but when I was there.....I never thought of here..

dont waste your time guys..ive written 6 emails about this and another soldier has been taken today..very sad..just dont mention it on here because BIG BROTHER will spit its dummy out again.

the point of this is that is now obvious record companies now are irrelevant. Another news is that, for the first time ever, the sales of old records surpass the sales of new records. What's happenning is that New Music stops selling and people only stick to buying classic albums and greatest hits. The hability of the industry to bring new artists is not zero yet but close to zero. And it seems that very soon it will dissapear completely, leaving record sales as sales of oldies but no new artist. Who's going to spend money into marketing with that sales? Only pre-existing product will sale, like the Beatles records. No new big hits or new Big things anymore.

A sample (definitely "guy humor"):

This video suggests they captured a plume of dust caused by the impact of the sky crane on the surface of Mars:

As a side note: The worst thing about watching informative/interesting videos on youtube is the ridiculously mean and tasteless comments underneath.

Been a PC guy for years, they've been loud machines and have often crashed. Made the switch to a Mac mini about a year ago, and haven't looked back. Using Logic Pro, it's the best music software i've ever used.

What kind of speakers do you need for that to sound good?

Out again, then in 7 out once more

Try to be positive about the move & the (unknown) changes

I was going to say something close to this ..... hopefully enjoy the new challenges and experiences ..... explore and make your mother happy

There are no words adequate enough to describe the complete horror of this story..... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2179171/Walkerville-family-murders-Horrific-death-boy-12-drowned-boiling-water-robbers-raped-mother.html

I didn't see the Paralympics ceremony but it seems the same problem repeated itself. It seems the sounds was horrible, horrible enough to turn off the TV, Chris Martin couldn't be heard. ... "credit when it's due" but the sound at the Olympics and Paralympics ceremony have been horrible even for the standards of this complicated things. Live Aid sound was years light away better and that was 1985!

Tommorrow is only day after tommorrows yesterday love doris

Dig! - Great optimistic quote - funny video - don't get it - cool picture

One of the best reality shows I've seen was VH-1's Wedding Wars, which was a Survivor-type competition for engaged couples. The diversity of the casting was stellar. I wish more reality shows could feature diversity like this. You can watch last year's entire season here: http://www.vh1.com/shows/wedding_wars/series.jhtml
